“And Jesus
said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it
done unto thee. And his servant was
healed in the selfsame hour.”
V4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
V5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
Now
here’s something to get excited about!!!
1 Peter
1:3-5
“Blessed
be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant
mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.V4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
V5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
The Word
speaks to your spirit.
The Word
nourishes your spirit.
The Word empowers your spirit.
The Word empowers your spirit.
There are
two reasons why I am putting so much emphasis on the generational inheritance
of spiritual values.
1 Even if your spiritual heritage was/is excellent and even if
those before us set a good example, and even if they taught all the right
things and represented God with unflinching faith - You need to know that none
of what someone else learned of God or did with God will be posted to your
account. In other words you and I must
establish our own relationship with God by personal experience. If your spiritual heritage was excellent it
may have given you a good start, but the fulness of revelation for each
generation must come by personal experience.
2 The second reason we are spending so much time on this subject -
If those before you set a poor example or mis-represented the Word of God, you
may have been taught things that are not true or worse. If this is who went before you, you a will
have to break away from these influences. You will have to break away from these
influences, before you can establish on
your own, a right relationship with God by personal relationship.
You can be nice about this, but you have got to break away from
the words and attitudes that disarm or dilute God’s Holy Word.
