Inheritance. It is such a big word. It can mean so many things. Obviously, Mr. Johns was speaking of the inheritance that our Heavenly Father gives to us. This comes in the form of the family He places us in, the area He places us in, the people He surrounds us with, etc. For example, I believe the United States has a rich, Godly inheritance. Men died for what we have. Seek it out, while the US invites all religions and peoples, our foundation is on Christ. We are protected, provided for, rewarded. But people died for what we enjoy. They are still defending it. But, if you believe Bible at all, you know that there's something about the shedding of blood. And I'm not talking all freaky-deeky about sacrifice. I'm merely saying that I believe God honors it. Honor to whom honor.
I believe there are battles that I have victory over in the Spiritual sense because my ancestors already fought them. I believe there are battles my children now have victory over because their father remained faithful to the end. He never stopped trusting and giving to God. In his final hours, he became an ordained minister. Talk about writing on the wall. My father's voice broke as he interruped my uncle to nominate Aaron for that. As a board member, church elder, and additional father to Aaron, my father was stepping in to have his say in this promotion. Oh, how I thought things were going to be different and that the tide was going to change. I straight up told the doctor, "I hear what you're saying and I see what you see, but I will be praying for a Lazarus moment until he's in the ground." I kinda lied; I'm still praying.
But, inheritance. If I could encourage people to learn about anything right now, it would be that. Generational inheritance. How what you and I do today impacts our children's tomorrows. How ground we gain now will carry on for generations. How plagues we see now are simply the fruit of sin from generations past. Sometimes I think, "Man, S, you're really out there now," but I can't deny that it resonates with my Spirit. This type of faith comes completely naturally. I don't have to think too much about it, it just is.
