  It’s Already Yours (James 2:26) "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." – James 2:26 (KJV)     It’s already yours. Affirm it: It is already mine. It is already yours. It is already ours. The inheritance, the birthright, the blessing, it is already yours. There is no need to beg, borrow, steal, bargain, or barter. All the benefits of God are already yours because each person is God’s beloved offspring, created in the image and likeness of God.  It has always been yours. As a spiritual being, it already exists in the heavenly realm. The work is not to get it, earn it, or make it yours, the work is to activate it.
