Inherit the spiritual blessing that God has for you. You can experience salvation and receive a new heart but still miss receiving your full spiritual inheritance. Juanita Bynum, best-selling author of Matters of the Heart, minces no words in explaining the scriptural significance for believers to understand the role spiritual authority plays in your inheriting all God destines for you. Your Spiritual inheritance comes only from submission.

Looking in-depth at the lives of Samson, Saul, Uzziah, and Jesus, as well as her own life, Bynum explains the pattern for receiving - and not squandering - the mantle of anointing from God. Discover how submission to instruction and receiving correction from spiritual authority can draw you into destiny. The Bible's pattern is clear - spiritual leaders are to lead, and believers are to submit to their leadership for spiritual direction. Your spiritual inheritance - reserved especially for you - is awaiting your full obedience. Will you embrace the greatness God has put within you?

From AudioFile

In MATTERS OF THE HEART, the author described her transition from excessive ambitiousness to Christian enlightenment. Here, as voiced in the mature and inspiring reading of Sandra Burr, she frames the phenomenon of enlightenment as one that depends on selecting and trusting the right spiritual teachers. The biblical lessons she cites follow the theme that people need to submit to the spiritual leadership of church fathers to find the correct spiritual path. Framed as a matter of following the heart, Bynum's message will resonate most strongly with listeners who desire the comfort of unfettered faith in God and His ordained leaders.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dangers in the spiritual father teachings, March 7, 2005

By 

Marsena Cook (Birmingham, Alabama) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Spiritual Inheritance: Walking in your destiny (Hardcover)

I agree that we need to love and respect the men and women of God who faithfully preach the Word, but we must only follo them as they follow Christ. The dangers that I see from the teaching of this book is that there is constant emphasis on the undershepherds (pastors) rather than the Good Shepherd. Pastors and other church leaders are supposed to point people to Jesus Christ as the ONLY Mediator between God and man. It is HIS power, His wisdom, His counsels that unlock our destiny, not a pastor or any other teacher.

As much as I like the teachings of Pastor Bynum-Weeks on holiness and living right before God, she unfortunately has missed the mark on this one. When the Bible says that we are to regard older members of the church as mothers and fathers, it does not mean implicit obedience without spiritual discernment. We are to obey the Word of God first and foremost! And pastors are not above correction or reproof because they are 'the Lord's anointed'. David was annointed king of Israel, yet the prophet Nathan was duty-bound to rebuke and correct him when he sinned with Bathsheba. It is this mentality that leadership in the church are above reproof from the laity that is causing all kinds of foolishness and exploitation to take place.

Do we need guidance, correction and rebuke? Yes! Is that part of the work of pastors? Yes! But are we to follow everything they say without checking with the Word? Certainly not!!! We are to study God's Word for ourselves, and only follow the counsel of pastors who lift up the Word of God as THE standard for our lives. Any minister that says that they hold your destiny in their hands, and that in order to get to the next level you must follow their counsel is a false prophet! Run from them like the plague, and fall at the feet of Jesus alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Just What I Needed!!!!, November 1, 2004

By 

T. Brown (Bowie, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Spiritual Inheritance: Walking in your destiny (Hardcover)

I just purchased this book the other day, and I have to say that when I read the first few pages within the first chapter, it was almost like the book was created strictly for me!! Seeking spiritual leadership has been my heart's desire for a while now. Anyone that takes spiritual covering seriously should grab this book, it's not only for those seeking a spiritual father/mother in the Lord, but also displays how you are to obey and regard those that are accountable for your soul, as well as, assisting your spiritual parents in aiding them in the call of God for their lives. Juanita Bynum Weeks, this book is excellent!!

This review is from: My Spiritual Inheritance: Walking in your destiny (Hardcover)

Recommended read for EVERY Christian.

I wasn't sure about the title, yet I was led to buy this book and read it.

When I began to read it I found that what I had come to understand in a Bible study was confirmed and expounded in this book.

Some say it is about pastors. Some say it is about completely submitting to pastoral authority.

It is not. It is simply about the responsibility of leadership to church body and the responsibility of church body to leadership. Yet is so much more than that. It gives insight to the underlying problems that do and can occur in our lives/church as we walk in obedience to God and his call on our lives.

Reccomend reading Myles Munroe's book on Vision if you don't know what God as called you to do/be. Everyone has a calling. Do you know what your's is? If you do you will find this book helpful!
