Birthright Journey

What is a Journey

Treasure Sentinels interprets this word to indicate a process (potentially long term) not necessarily culminating in reaching an end point. Rather suggesting travel or passage from one place to another...through time. We intend to offer opportunities for Christ followers to receive encouragement, support, and connect in the on-going journey. The epic adventure of serving our Lord Jesus requires refinement, persistence, unity, and above all else love.

  • Typically a journey begins with an awakening (an act or moment of becoming newly aware of something, coming into existence). God has been using materials and ministries such as Ransomed Heart (for men and women) and Authentic Manhood (mainly for men) to reach out and awaken the people of God to the fact that we are living so far away from the Epic Adventure and way God made us. It is important to note here that God doesn't typically do just one awakening event in your life. You may visit this 'beginning' many times on a diverse set of topics over your lifetime following Jesus.
  • After awakening one is presented with an opportunity. We can respond, 'That's super cool' and go on about our busy lives and allow inhibitions, obstacles, and insecurities to cause us to essentially fall into passivity. Or, we can humble our hearts before the Lord and ask Him to help us respond to the stirring in our spirits which leads to change. This later response opens souls up to participate in an Adventure Retreat for the purposes of education and exploration. Typically here there are lots of questions and a safe place is needed in order to venture out into unknown territory.
  • Based on ones response to the Lord's work, the path may lead toward empowerment. This takes place through an amazing Birthright Journey where you receive the commissioning and blessing of a father as you move into a new understanding of who God is, what He is saying, how He works, and your place in His Epic Story. Ultimately God wants to break off chains, cancel curses, and infuse His children with His Spirit.
  • Once we have been empowered by His Spirit, we find ourselves walking in the flow of His Spirit. God may open up the opportunity for you to join an Epic Adventure. These allow us to explore the world in a new light. We may find that our responses, perceptions, appreciation for His creations are different. We will also be presented with the ability to pass on what God has done in us to others through discipleship, witnessing, testifying, etc. Being rooted and grounded in love, the believer's life will be like a great tree planted near water. Standing steady and strong, producing an abundance of good fruit; evidence of Holy Spirits' work will draw others into their own epic story with Christ.

Why do we have a passion regarding your Birthright?

A birthright is an honor given to the firstborn, bestowing “head of household” status, the right to inherit his father’s estate, and would receive a double portion of whatever was passed down. Alternatively, a blessing could be given regardless of birthright. However, a greater blessing was given to the one who held the birthright. In the time of the patriarchs, such blessings acted as a “last will and testament” and were highly prized as a means of revealing God’s will. Historically this was reserved for sons, but through Jesus both men and women are invited. Joint heir in British law is a person who shares with another, or others, the right to inherit a person's money, property, or title... Through the various programs of Treasure Sentinels it our sincere desire to see you healed, blessed, and in relationships that propel you throughout the Epic Adventure with Jesus Christ.
