Living On an Inheritance

So I have been thinking a lot lately about my children and how they can learn from my past mistakes. They basically do not need to suffer from drug addiction, sexual addiction, prostitution, pornography and more! (I will post my testimony soon) These things I have already been through and God delivered me from each and every one of them, and my children should naturally inherit my wisdom in those areas and not fall into that at all.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. - Proverbs 13:22

Most people see an inheritance as money or items but I really believe God is talking about wisdom. Most people see prosper as being rich and I think most have it wrong. Nothing wrong with having money and I do not think God wants us to be starving or he wouldn't have promised to take care of us but I think we like to think of the terms inheritance, wealth, prosper into today's uses for it which is money money money.


How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!- Proverbs 16:16

Spiritual inheritance is more valuable than money, you cannot buy spiritual inheritance and God doesn't seem to talk much about money in the bible being of importance. So some basic definitions below of the terms so we know what they mean in today's world and I say that because if you look at the dictionary from years ago it wasn't like this, its amazing what we have done to the English language but that's off topic.

Definition of Inheritance:

1.something that is or may be inherited;  property passing at the owner's death to the heir or those entitled to succeed; legacy. 
2. the genetic characters transmitted from parent to offspring, taken collectively. 
3. something, as a quality, characteristic, or other immaterial possession, received from progenitors or predecessors as if by succession: an inheritance of family pride.
4. the act or fact of inheriting  by succession, as if by succession, or genetically: to receive property by inheritance.
5. portion; birthright; heritage: Absolute rule was considered the inheritance of kings.


Definition of Wealth:

1. a great quantity or store of money, valuable possessions, property, or other riches: the wealth of a city.
2. an abundance or profusion of anything; plentiful amount: a wealth of imagery. 

Okay so now that we have gotten that all defined out what is the inheritance God is talking about?? So first of course and the most important is the inheritance of Jesus Christ. What did he leave us? So many things I cannot list them here but lets mention a few, forgiveness, redemption, freedom, love, mercy, grace and so on and so on. If we want to get crazy we can talk about everything we inherit when he comes to live inside us. We basically get God's seed implanted in us and have access to all the fruit of the spirit. So can you buy any of those things? Nope and they are worth more than gold or silver.

So moving on finally to the real reason for this post is the spiritual inheritance left for us by the holy men of the past, the followers of God that made a HUGE difference and an outpouring of revival and love where God could really work.

Do you tap into this inheritance? Now I do not come from a church background at all, I was not raised in the church, I knew about Jesus dying for my sins and that was about it. I encountered God in rehab but really knowing God has been only 3 years which honestly the most progress was made in the last 4 months of my life. So that being said I do not have a lot of church experience. Now I started going to church a few years ago and I do not think I have heard once about past preachers who have actually made a difference. Its very rare I get the pastors personal experience in his teachings. I drive down the street finding a church on every corner and I mean every corner and I think man Lord all these churches and we have people starving on the streets??

God prompted me to do study on revival where I was brought to a lovely man named Winkie Pratney and hes just a book of knowledge about past revivalists. Why aren't we all mirroring the great ones of the past? Why do we insist on starting from scratch and finding out for ourselves?? When we do that we are not making any progress for God in this world?? We stay in the same place and isn't satan referred to as a scorpion or snake in the bible? What do those creatures do when they bite????? THEY PARALYZE YOU!!

My plee today God is that you wake up the church, Jesus give us your anti-venom to get us moving again! Learn from our forefathers and actually make some progress in this world! You said you do not want any of your little ones to parish so we need all the churches to come together love Jesus and actually start using the inheritance that was left to us and take back the territory in Jesus name!!!
