A good man (or a good woman) leaves an inheritance to his children's children - Proverbs 13:22 Throughout the Bible, inheritance is extremely important.

Stones are a picture of people. Once a stone was burnt and crumbled, it was easy to pull it out of position. If you've been burnt, it's easy to be removed from of the wall of destiny, where God has positioned you to grow. When we walk through a difficult season in our life, it's what the Bible calls a 'fiery trial'. At stake is your destiny, what's being tested is the quality of your faith in God.

If we don't relentlessly deal with the Blame Game, then we think we're trying to move in faith, but we're actually continuing old patterns of unbelief and irresponsibility. The Blame Game started in Genesis, when God talked to Adam & Eve about eating the fruit of the tree. When they started blaming, God stopped talking - they experienced the consequences of their decision.

Jesus had a wilderness experience, it must be important, and not just an Old Testament thing. 1 Corinthians 10 says: it's a warning, a learning exercise, something for us to learn from, and it says: make sure you don't make the same mess ups that they made.

Victim mentality is a way of viewing yourself, and a way of viewing life, that causes you continually to fail in relationships and life. The person will not take responsibility. Instead they choose to make excuses for why life is like it is, and to find someone or something to blame. When you blame someone, you leave yourself powerless, and resentful at how life sucks.

Jezebel set out to destroy all messengers of the Lord, she destroyed prophets wherever she could find them, and raised up instead her own prophetic messengers. They brought a message which they called prophecy, but it was actually speaking words that were demonically empowered and seduced the nation.

Pentecost is about meeting with God. Mount Sinai was completely covered in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire. Then the blast of the trumpet sounded long, and came louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. Now that's the first Pentecost. It's about engaging in intimacy with God. It was no work, no labour, no striving, no struggling, and they gave to the poor.

One of the most painful experiences in life is where you're ‘unloved’; people react against you, speak against you; or there's physical /emotional violence. You experience a deep sense of ‘lack of value’; that I ‘don't belong’; or I'm ‘not valuable’ to anyone. You come to the conclusion in your heart that: I'm unlovable.

Most of us would have had an experience where you really need God to give something to direct you but nothing happened. You sought the Lord, you prayed, read your Bible and nothing seemed to happen. It can be very troubling. You ask God to help you, He doesn't seem to help you; ask God to guide you, He doesn't seem to be guiding you, you don't seem to hear anything and it seems quite disturbing.

Adam heard God speaking to him when he was in the Garden, even though he'd sinned and walked away from God. People can hear the voice of God. We need to learn what it's like and how to recognise it.

You don't always see the connection between your actions and the current storm.

The Bible describes a withered condition where joy has withered away. We need plenty of joy in our life, need to laugh more, have more fun and connect with people. Enjoy the life of God. Jesus said My joy I give to you, let no man take it from you. You never see the power of God in your comfort zone, in the life you've been used to living. You only see it when you start to take some risks.

People are a gift from God. Whatever you disrespect will move away from you, but whatever you respect will attract towards you. Prejudice can stop you receiving people.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Words have the power to change lives. You can empower people through words you speak, or cut them down. You can cause them to live, or to wither and die. Don't let your mouth be full of negative talk, but rather practice and make it a habit, a lifestyle of speaking words that build. Words are containers – they carry a ‘spirit’ content.

Kings dream. Kings declare. Kings prepare and kings are generous. You're called to be a King! He says you are a royal priesthood, the offspring of a king.

Life is a mixture of experiences - some sweet and some bitter. The Bible abounds in examples and stories of people, and it tells us that without faith we can never please God. We must learn how to trust Him, and trust is developed in private, but it's always shown up in difficult experiences we have in life. So difficulties are an opportunity for us to grow because they reveal our heart condition

There’s a great cure for poverty: get a job, work hard. God never set himself up as the cure for laziness, or the cure for stupid. There is no supernatural, super-spiritual thing that over comes a lack of hard work or laziness. We've got to be wise, which means staying out of debt, not putting money in things going down in value, live on a budget. Tzedakah equates Charity/Giving with Rightousness.
