Jesus says the first step is repentance, and repentance carries people from breakthrough to breakthrough.
1. Get Radical Faith with Beatty Carmichael focuses on "Adoption to Sonship 3 - Breakthrough to sonship" and spends most of its time in Romans 8, Galatians 4, and Galatians 5. 2. Beatty Carmichael hosts the episode, teaches from Scripture, and references GetRadicalFaith.com and GetSellersCallingYou.com as the show's resource sites. 3. The episode asks how a believer moves from child status to sonship, and whether that change is lived now by faith or only later at resurrection. 4. Beatty uses Romans 8:14-15 to say that those led by the Spirit of God are sons of God and that adoption to sonship is tied to the Spirit. 5. He reads Galatians 4:1-2 to compare an heir under guardians and managers with a slave child who looks no different until the date set by the father. 6. He applies that passage to a plantation illustration with a plantation owner, an heir, and slave children to show how status changes at a specific time. 7. Beatty then reads Galatians 4:4-5 and says the "fullness of time" is the date set by the Father when God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, to redeem those under the law. 8. He distinguishes a natural reading of those verses from a "dimensional interpretation" in which heavenly truths can be walked in by faith today. 9. Beatty uses Galatians 3:25-26 to say that "now that faith has come" believers are no longer under a guardian and are sons of God through faith. 10. He defines faith through Hebrews 11 as assurance of what is hoped for and conviction of what is not seen, then says faith is shown by obedience. 11. Beatty says faith comes from God's word, is believed fully, and is evidenced by action, using Abraham's immediate obedience as the example. 12. He says sonship is linked to being led by the Spirit, and he adds that hearing the Lord requires fasting, feasting in God's word, and fellowship with him personally. 13. Beatty says denying self is part of obeying the Lord, and he describes a personal moment when he consciously rejected his own reaction and asked, "Lord, what do you want me to do?" 14. He argues from Romans 6:5-6 and 6:12-14 that sin once ruled believers, but sin should no longer reign in the mortal body because believers are no longer under law but under grace. 15. Beatty then uses Galatians 5:16-18 to say the flesh and the Spirit are in conflict, and that being led by the Spirit means not being under law. 16. He maps spirit, soul, and body onto heaven, the spiritual realm, and the earthly realm, and says that being under grace is a heavenly truth that may not yet be an earthly reality. 17. Beatty reads Romans 8:9 and Romans 8:14 separately, saying the Spirit of God dwells in all believers but not all believers are led by the Spirit. 18. The tone is teaching-heavy and explanatory, with scripture reading, direct questions to the audience, and occasional references to other sessions and books. 19. Listeners interested in Romans, Galatians, sanctification, and Spirit-led obedience would likely benefit most. 20. Listeners wanting a short devotional or light overview may find the density and repeated Scripture references demanding.
