Supernatural Ways of Royalty Teaching Series with Kris Vallotton

God's love for us isn't tied to our behavior or works. His love is who we are. But He uses His love to empower us so we can fulfill our destiny in Him. God wants us to come out of slavery and into freedom so we can lead others into the freedom He died for.

In this lesson, Kris illustrates the power of our thoughts to either keep us chained to the past or move us forward into the future. God created each one of us for a powerful destiny. But living tied to the past keeps us from moving forward in what He made us for. It all starts with forgiveness-forgiving ourselves and forgiving others.

The first step to taking on our royal identity starts inside of us. Many of us identify far too closely with lies about ourselves-for example, that we are sinners. Though we were once in sin, we are no longer identified by our wrongs. God not only forgave us our sins on the cross, He completely renewed our identity!

When we develop a culture that brings out the greatness within us, we will start to live like the royal sons and daughters we are. Through prophetic words and revelations, we can gain insight on how God sees us and those around us.

To be made for royalty means to be made for glory. Before the beginning of time, God handcrafted you to be like Him, seated above all creation at His throne. We may suffer here on earth, but no suffering can be compared to the glory for which He is preparing us.

To live like the royal sons and daughters we are, we must incorporate honor into our lives. God designed His inheritance to be passed down from one generation to another. By unifying ourselves with other generations, we can paint a beautiful picture of His heart. So if you want to live in honor, first give honor!

When Jesus died, He stripped the enemy of his power and took the keys to hell. This is what it means that "all authority in heaven on and earth" has been given to Him. As His sons and daughters, we have inherited the same authority. Our primary task is to use His authority to bring Heaven to earth!

What does it mean to be the light of the world? In order for us to shine the light of Christ, we must leave the four walls of our church building and go into dark places. God intends to make all things new, and we are His partners in accomplishing this. By partnering with God to bring the light of His Kingdom, we can set a new pattern.
