MTC was conceived 24 years ago with the charter to raise up Kingdom-centered people, who can be entrusted with great authority in order to fulfill their part in the end time great harvest. This year’s focus on “Honoring Spiritual Inheritance” continues to reinforce that charter.
Inheritance establishes the foundation of our authority, whether biological or spiritual. The linage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob illustrates a clear case example. But this case example also shows that our attitudes toward our inheritance can make or break our qualification in its authority flow. By right and tradition, God could have introduced Himself to Moses as the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Esau.” Because Esau despised his birthright and dishonored his inheritance by seeing it to be no more valuable than food – to satisfy the “justifiable” yearning of his flesh – Esau denied himself his rightful place of authority, and in turn, God established Himself as the “God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” forever. Now that’s a heavy load.
As people called to walk in authority, we also must learn from the case of Esau. Offenses against our parents, expectations unfulfilled by our spiritual coverings, hurts from our leaders, worldly values that disregard the older generations, and even disappointment in God can all drive us to despise our inheritance. Our yearning, during this MTC, is to hear the Holy Spirit speak conviction into our hearts, and pour forth honor to our inheritance until our flesh hurts.
In this homecoming to the place of our inheritance, we will come to stand firm in the authority of our spiritual linage.
This year’s MTC is not purposed for personal development for advancing our careers, gaining entrance into a star college, or tripling our net worth. MTC will always be about value transformation, through the denying of our flesh, so that we can gain authority by losing it. God has not given us any “secret formula short-cuts” or “7-steps” for gaining the place of authority, but something far greater…He has given us the Body that manifests the counsel and comfort of the Holy Spirit.
This is why we come together.
Blessings.
