I named my Blog It’s Urbirthright….Why you may say? Well once I became a true follower of Jesus Christ I found out that I was a joint heir with Jesus. Whaaatt you may say… a joint heir? Yes a joint heir and with this inheritance comes benefits. Just as our earthly parents or relatives may leave an inheritance behind for their children so has our Father in heaven given to us an inheritance. So I decided to share in this blog some thoughts, encouraging words, as well as some of the benefits of being an heir. Here is a benefit *Heirs of all things – “The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” (Rev. 21:7)
Scripture tells us that in Romans Ch 8 vs. 15-17 that we are heirs…Romans 8:15-17 Amplified Bible (AMP) 15 For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! 16 The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. 17 And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him];
Stay tuned to find out about more benefits….Yours in Chris Carla

Confidence
What is confidence? a feeling or belief that you or someone can do something well or succeed at something : the feeling of being certain that something will happen or that something is true
Synonyms: Trust, Belief, Faith, Credence, Conviction
Where do you have your confidence? Is it in yourself? Is it in your job? Is it in your spouse? Now, I’m not saying that to have confidence in those areas are necessarily bad things. But, it is when they supersede your confidence in Jesus; a problem could arise.
This was an area I had to visit in my life. Many years ago I had become so self-reliant that I put self, job, spouse, and Jesus all on the same level. I would even say I placed self slightly above them all. As circumstances arose and I began losing control in the areas I thought had straight, my confidence was shaken.
Only when I humbled myself and had “a come to Jesus meeting” that I realized that I was doing everything in my own strength. I did not even notice what I was doing and how out of order I was. It was in my time with the LORD that he began to show me my error and teach me. You better believe I began correcting that error quickly. In all of my abilities I give God the Glory for real this time not just lips service but in heart service.
I simply shared with you to encourage you that putting your Confidence in Jesus is a sure thing.
It's URbirthright!
