I’ve thought about my Grandparents before and about what it must have been like to be alive while they were traveling, planting churches, preaching the gospel, saving souls, having revivals, casting out demons… etc.  But it seems as though after the Awakening Conference in Manteca… they are on my mind more than before. I want to learn as much as I can about them and their ministry when they were alive. Pastor Nick, young adult Pastor at my new church, was talking about honoring those that have gone before us… and of course my grandparents came to mind.

I get teary eyed thinking about those coming after me and what they get to walk in because of INHERITANCE because, you see, our life is NOT just for us! What an incredible thought! There are generations coming after us.. our kids, kid kids, kids kids kids..etc… I’m leaving a legacy for them.. an inheritance that will COST me something, that I will FIGHT to protect… because in relationship, the fight for them and pursuit after that person determines the value we have placed on them. I actively Pursue GOD because He is valuable to me and I will pay any price to keep my connection with Him! Generations coming after me are counting on it! They will walk in what we walked in and greater! ahhh.. It is a good time to be alive 🙂

I left a facebook status while I was visiting my Tia Esther in Lathrop:

🙂 ::teary eyes:: Talked with my Tia Esther about my grandparents and asked her what is was like growing up being Pastors Kids… my heart burned as she talked about the Revivals my Grandpa had, the many that were saved with each altar call,  “...he was loud, he wasn’t a timid preacher… I remember the altar always being full” and she spoke about the heart my grandma had for the lost, “she lived and breathed Jesus, she was a soul winner mija… she loved telling people about Jesus, didn’t matter where she was“…they were traveling evangelists and planted many Latin A.G. churches that still thrive today… felt good to hear about them… Its no wonder my heart comes alive in Gods presence… 

I have a spiritual inheritance that COST them, they fought for us grand kids to know God. They gave God their life knowing that all the serving, preaching, pastoring, traveling, praying etc… was all done because they were sowing into OUR future! I am where I am today because my grandparents paid a price for me to grab hold of what they fought for and lived for. I may have not been born yet when they were tarveling around the the US and mexico ministering… but I Know they did all they did.. with the generations after them in mind. Its no wonder my heart burns when I hear the word “Revival” or I cry when I talk about what God has done in my life or what I’ve seen Him do… they prayed for the generations after them… they prayed me into existence… and here I am… ready to build and create a ceiling that will be my kids floor…. and those after me to come!

Pastor Dan Vera has been preaching on Increase! Last weekend he talked about the stuff we’re going through and how the devil isn’t after us “the devil after the SEED that comes after you, so get it together! It’s not about you!” Soooo goood… Life isn’t about us and our current issues as an attack on us… most of those are because there are “someone’s” coming after us… our kids and their kids and so on… but if the devil can’t stop them later on… he will do what he can NOW to stop them from getting their blessing and inheritance by keeping us in the rut we are in. Some people go through certain addictions or habits etc. due to generational curses… get free NOW because there is a blessing you need to pass on, an anointing an inheritance that is going to cost you! It won’t come easy! Like pastor Bill Johnson say’s “Most of what need… God will provide… but what you want… you have to go after it.”

Our life is not just for us, we’re living for those who are coming after us. I’m declaring over the lives of those coming after me.. that they will walk in miracles, signs and wonders… and move in the prophetic in greater measures than I ever will… they will be prophetic healing revivalists… they will be world changers… and with my life now… I will pave the way for them to walk in it… I’m leaving a legacy and inheritance for the generation after me… All the miracles I have seen: deaf ears opened, leukemia healed, MS gone, tumors disappeared, Scoliosis gone, Migraine headache gone, etc… they will see this and GREATER!
…it’s exciting to be alive right now!
