What are the Foundations of Our Legacy? - Superficial things of Earth or Supernatural Things. 

Physical vs Spiritual Legacies and Inheritances

Will I Purpose set in Motion Today Eternal, Spiritual Foundations, Values, Disciplines, Benchmarks that those who descend from my Life will Benefit from and Follow the Path I’ve taken.

You can’t have 2 Masters : The World & The Word of God

Deliberate Steps to Build a Spiritual Legacy | Leave a Godly Inheritance:

Someone will take over where we left off one day

The Need for Courageous People. - Conscience Propels People into Action. You cannot Develop Courage in the Midst of a Storm. Build a Foundation, in the Midst of a Storm. 

If you want to Leave a Legacy, you Need an Act of Courage to Reach out to those in Need

1.  Fear the Lord - Christ Like, Renewed, Transformed, Obey God.
2.  Recognize the Worlds Needs & Respond with Compassion and Action. 
3. When you go past Rows of Houses do you think? “I wonder if they Know Jesus? “ - Someone Needs to Reach these People with the Good News. Compassionate to a Lost and Dying World. 
4.  Will you Share the Legacy with Someone? 
5.  Pray as a Couple; that God will use you to Accomplish his Purposes (Ask him to Give a New Ministry Field, Enlarge Our Spear. Intentional Prayers Biblically. Pray Daily.)
6. Help your Spouse be a Better Steward of His or Her Gifts and Abilities. (Be an Encourager / Speak Life / Lift up / Teach others / Strong Godly Character with Views / See it)
7. Ask God to GIve Children a Sense of Purpose, Direction, and Mission. 

Ephesians 6:4 - “Fathers do not Exaggerate your Children, Instead bring them up in the Training and Instruction of the Lord.”

Challenges to Leave your Children a Legacy, and not just an Inheritance to be Invested to be involved it is impossible to be absent and present at the same time. 

Our Children are Messengers we Send to a Time we do not See - When you go Out in the Community you Represent this Family. 

Proclaim now: They are Ambassadors for Christ Pray and Believe God will Give them a Double Portion of Blessing and Anointing that’s not a Selfish Prayer that’s Lord Jesus Hear my Plea hear my fathers Life. 

Stop Looking in the Natural and Seek the Supernatural 

Will Our Children, Grandchildren, be a Spiritual Influence upon those they Need. Or will the Negative Impact of the World have it’s Influence upon them. 

Pray: Pray the Word of God with your Children and People. So that the God of this World will not “Prey” upon them! 

Ask Yourself: What is the Legacy I’m Building for my Family’s Future? What Spiritual Treasures am I Storing up for my Children & Grandchildren? 

Prayer Point: 

Am I a Prayer Warrior, a Servant, a Witness? (If not, what Active Role of Faith am I Living?) What Part of Faith are you Fulfilling?

Because you have something that God has Called you to do.

No Matter how Old your Children are, you can Hit the RESET Button!

Proverbs 13:22

Proverbs 22:6

Proverbs 20:7

Joshua 24:15

If the Seed of God was Planted in a Heart, there is a Potential and a Possibility that that Child, that wayward Child, that you don’t think Serving God can come back there’s still time his Word won’t Fail. 

Will you Fail to Trust and Implement it?

What am I Seeking After?

What am I Building the Foundations of my Next Generation Inheritance upon. 

What is the Legacy I am Leaving? 

You won’t know what Someone will do with your Spiritual Legacy/Inheritance God Gave it to you to have a Fresh Pair of Eyes to Magnify his Glory Abundantly. Don’t be Fearful what Man has to say, when it’s God who has the Final Say!

Prayer:

It doesn’t matter what Failures or Previous walks we’ve Lived, you saw the Heart and Reinstated it. The Fruit that will Come based off what was written and Spoken. Thank you Jesus for the Mighty Power of Jesus. Thank you for the Inheritance of Jesus, and the Leagacy that comes with a Heart Hungry to Serve a Broken World. 1 to make an Impact for Generations and Generations to Follow. Thank you in the Mighty Name of Jesus!
