Generational 3: Receiving Generational Blessing from the Courtroom

The Books in Heaven

Read Revelation 10:8-11 

Commentary: Our purpose was determined we were born and it was pre-recorded in books in heaven.

Discussion: 

1. Why would God pre-determine our purpose before we were born?
2. Do you know your purpose?
3. How did you choose your career path? 
4. Is your career, the same as your purpose?
5. Did you consider that God had a purpose already designed for you?
6. Do you feel that you are walking in your purpose?

Read II Timothy 1:9; Psalm 139:16

Discussion:

1. How do we know are purpose?
2. What things are you good at?
3. What are some skills and activities where you consistently see positive results?
4. What things do you enjoy doing?
5. What things do others say you’re good at?

Thinking Generational

Read Hebrews 11:13; 

Commentary: When God calls us, he calls us to live and think generationally.

Discussion: 

• How does our purpose and behavior impact generations after us?
• Can you think of blessings, gifts or paths in your family that appear frequently, as if there is a pattern?
• Can you think of curses, tragedies, or outcomes that appear frequently, as if there is a pattern?

Take Back the Books

Read Genesis 25:30-34

Commentary: Sometimes the family book can be taken captive by sin, iniquity, or generational curses. Here’s how we can recover the books:

1. Repent (for our sins and of the generations before us)
2. Declare “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”
