What You Already Have

Pastor Grant Braaten argues that many believers live like "spiritual paupers," unaware of the priceless inheritance they already possess in Christ. The sermon focuses on Paul's prayer to close the gap between this truth and the believer's experience.

Key Points of Enlightenment:

See Your Riches: You don't need to get more; you need a spirit of wisdom and revelation to see that you have been blessed with "every spiritual blessing."

Heart Over Intellect: Pray for the "eyes of your heart" to be enlightened, allowing the truth to move beyond mere information and take root in your inner man.

Grasp His Power: Understand the "hyperbolic magnitude" of God's power directed toward you. This is the very same power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him above all authority.

The ultimate encouragement is that the authority Christ holds is shared with the Church. We are called to stop being distracted and live in the victory and authority we already possess.
