Generational 4: Receiving Generational Blessing from the Courtroom 

Commentary: Bishop continued with Part 4 of his series on Generational Blessing. He reminded us with a review of the foundational scriptures for this series related to the Books in Heaven, and encouraged us to think generationally, not individually. 

Read Psalm 139:16

Commentary: Our purpose was pre-recorded in books in heaven.

Discussion: 

• Why is it important to know that our purpose is pre-recorded?
• Why is it important for us to think generationally rather than individually?

Read Isaiah 29:10-12

• Commentary: This passage in Isaiah refers to words in the book being sealed. Let’s discuss how we open sealed books.

Discussion:

1. Humility 
2. What is humility?
3. Why would humility be a key to opening the books?
4. Intimacy/Hunger
5. What is intimacy with God?
6. Why is this a key to opening the books?
7. Scripturally speaking, what is hunger and how is it a key to opening the books?

Read I Chronicles 17:9-15

Commentary: The books are keys to unlocking the blessings of God, but the blessings are not for us alone or about us alone. Let’s discuss why.

Discussion:

1. Purpose of God
2. When we think about purpose, we often think individually. Discuss how God’s purpose for you might go beyond you.
3. How does knowing and understanding that your purpose goes beyond you change the importance of fulfilling your purpose?
4. Promises
5. God’s promises are not for you alone. Generationally, what is the significance of this truth?
6. Prayer
7. How do we pray standing on the promises of God and why is this important?
