Colossians 1:10 - 12
And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His Glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of Light.
Many people today are afraid to step out in faith for God to move because they subconsciously feel like that just aren't good enough. They aren't at "that level" yet. But the Scripture tells us something otherwise, and we must remember the Truth revealed in Scripture is a far higher authority than our experience.
My friend, you are qualified. Already. Past tense. God qualified you to share in the inheritance of all the saints of the Kingdom!! What is that inheritance? Well, technically, it is the Earth. On a number of occasions in Scripture, God promises that is the saints that will inherit the Earth.
Now, I am not going to get technical and go into what that exactly entails or how that works out. But if we are to inherit the Earth, we have to start somewhere. And as I so often mention, that means pushing the forces of darkness back with the invading Power of the Kingdom of Light.
So many times we have heard before that our commission is to bring Heaven to Earth. That's because it is true. We have the Kingdom of God inside us, and we have been qualified to release it.
You don't need to wait until you are more holy, have more power, or know how to operate in power before you actually do those things! You have already been qualified to administer the Kingdom of Heaven!
Stop waiting, stop delaying, take your chances! Make the most of every opportunity! And declare the Kingdom of Heaven in every situation you are privileged to have the opportunity to do so.
Practically, if someone tells you that they aren't feeling so great or they're going through a rough time after you've asked them how they're doing; then instead of saying "shame"... simply put your hand on their shoulder and declare the Kingdom of Heaven over them. Release Heaven into their situation. Release health, bind sickness. Release provision, bind the enemy's robbery. Release supernaturally open doors of opportunity. Release joy, bind depression. These are the "good works" and the "fruit" and "pleasing the Lord" that these verses above are talking about.
It's as easy as that! You are a child of Heaven! Decree on behalf of the King! Because you have been qualified.
