“BUT YOU ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, HIS OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE, THAT YOU MAY PROCLAIM THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT.” 1ST PETER 2:9
Below is a Blog from Seth Barnes that I believe is a monumental paradigm shift in our generation. This shift is believing that the WORD remains and is in us. This is the exact thing that Jesus did as He walked on this earth as fully man and fully God. This generation who I am a part of needs to grasp ahold of the fact that “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was GOD” John 1:1. We have to believe the Word is 100% truth and it is who we are as sons and daughters of the Most High God. Enjoy!
Recently I was talking to Andrew Shearman about one of his life messages – the 42nd generation. It’s such an original and provocative talk; I wondered where it came from. The idea is that there is a generation that will come to faith and cross over the Jordan.
Adam lost his birthright – the title to stewardship of this world. But God had a plan for getting it back. He had a second Adam. As the New Testament opens up in Matthew 1, we see it. In apparently boring detail we see there were 42 generations from Abraham to Christ. Why does God begin telling the story like this?
As Andrew explains, the secret is that Jesus the Christ was the 42
nd generation – the generation that gets the Promised Land. And so, in our day we can align ourselves with that generation – a generation coming to faith. During our conversation in a hotel in Dallas, he gave me the background on it.
