THE INHERITANCE OF THE MEEK

 

What did Jesus mean when he said in Matthew 5:5, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”?

 

Before considering that inheritance, let us first see the meaning of meek. The dictionary gives todays meaning as not easily angered, mild, and patient. The obsolete (former) meaning found in the King James English means gentle, courteous, kind, and for those in leadership it meant merciful and compassionate.

 

The scripture says Moses was the meekest of all men, yet he was a great leader. Meek does not mean to submit tamely when ordered about. Moses was strong, yet meek and humble. The Greek New Testament word is “praotes” meaning mildness. The Hebrew word is “anav” meaning humble. Meekness and humility are essentially of the same character.

 

Jesus came as a servant during his time on earth. He humbled himself to leave heaven’s throne and live as a human like us.

 

Meek and humble are said to be one of the greatest qualities we can manifest. It reflects the nature of Christ within us, our Christlikeness. This is the kind of Christ-follower who will inherit the earth.

 

What is this inheritance? Surely, we are not inheriting this present world that is under Satan’s dominion. I believe it is the new earth spoken of in Revelation 21:1. The old earth of today has been destroyed and a new earth created where we, the righteous redeemed, will rule and reign as kings and priests under Christ. We inherit this new earth forever. There is much in the New Testament about this including Peter’s description.

 

We can also get hints of it from the Old Testament. Proverbs 10:30 says, “The righteous shall never be removed” as we inhabit the new earth, “but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.” There will be no sinners in the new earth. Satan will have been cast eternally into the lake of fire. The new earth is inherited by the righteous, the meek, and the humble servants of Christ who are now elevated as priestly kings, rulers, like unto the spirit of the great leader Moses.

 

Our inheritance is great. Heaven as we know it today is our temporary home and the new earth will be our permanent home with Christ forever and forever.

WHEN GOD IS SILENT

 

One of the hardest places for most of us as Christians is when we pray and we don’t hear any answer from God. We seek His face and read His word, but we do not get direction. It is in this place that our faith either grows or we abandon it.

 

There was no open vision in the days of the boy Samuel. When he was born, Eli, the High Priest, had sin in his family and in the place of worship and sacrifice. He couldn’t hear from God because there was no open vision. (I Samuel 3:1.) It had gotten so bad, that God raised up Samuel to be a prophet to bring judgment to the ungodly family of Eli and to the nation of Israel. Sin can definitely keep us from hearing from God.

 

Between the Old and New Testaments, there was a period of time of almost 400 years where there was no prophet, or word from God that was raised up. Those were silent years until John the Baptist came on the scene with the message of “repentance.” People were hungry to hear from God, and when John came on the scene the common people received him while the religious leaders did not. 

 

When God is silent, we must examine our hearts to see if there is anything blocking communication with Him. If there is, then we must repent to remove that blockage. That was John’s message to get the people ready to receive the true Prophet that would come, Jesus Christ.

 

Another reason that God is silent is that He has told us to do something, and we have put if off. It may be a sin that God is dealing with us to stop doing, or an assignment that we haven’t done.  We will not be given a new word from God if we haven’t done what he told us to do already. Many a time this will happen because people fear the unknown and choose not to move forward because they are comfortable where they are at. Think of a word from God as a seed. It must be planted and grow in our hearts. Like a seed that is planted, if it didn’t break through the dirt, it would never grow. In our lives there is often pain with the “breaking through” stage, but it must happen to grow. If God isn’t speaking to you, examine your heart and repent if you haven’t done what He asked.

 

Another reason that things are silent is Satan is blocking the answer from coming as he did with Daniel. Daniel prayed and it took 21 days for the answer to come because there was a battle in the heavenlies between God’s angels and Satan’s demons. Daniel was a righteous man without sin in his life, so the delay wasn’t caused by sin.

 

Regardless of what is causing the silence, know this one thing. God has not forsaken you.  Do not stop believing God will show you the way. Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth if you ask for help. Silence does not last forever. It is a season that can change when we are ready to change with it.

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERES

 

I would say unto you today that you have withstood the test of the fires that I have allowed in your life. There were many times that you have wanted to quit, but you remained faithful even when it looked like all hope was gone. You felt the pain and anguish of the heat, but it was necessary for you to go through this heat to come forth as strong as steel. For many have not gone through the test, and they have fallen by the wayside. They did not yield to the testing for they fought against me saith the Lord. All that are in me will suffer many afflictions, but I will deliver those that trust me and have faith in my word to come through the test stronger than when they went into the testing. For there is an army rising up of the faithful ones that stood when others fell. There is an army rising up of faithful soldiers ready to receive their marching orders. For my children, there is a war on the horizon that will bring many into a place of fear, but you will not fear for you know that the battle belongs to me, and not you. You have seen my might when you had no might. You have seen my love when no one was there to love. You have seen my power when you felt that you were powerless. You have learned where your strength comes from and have determined to endure to the end. In this hour that is upon you now there will be a great shaking of faith, but you will come through this shaking as you trust me. Just as a soldier must go through military booth camp to learn how to use his offensive weapons, so you also have been in training for what is to come. Think not that the testing is the war. It is not the war. There is a war coming that will be fiercer than ever, yet those that have submitted to my military training through the testing and the trials will be valiant in this war. They shall rise up in my power and be used of me to bring many out of darkness and into my kingdom. Yes, there is war ahead. There will be great fear for many, but those that trust me will not walk in fear. They know the source of their strength is in me. Do not be surprised when the enemy attacks on your own land, for it will happen. It will come just as it did on that fateful day in 9/11. Many were caught off guard, but those that walked with me were prepared. So, my child, do not be surprised when this happens. Judgment must take place, but I will redeem my own from destruction. I will raise my banner up and there will be no lack of victory for those that trust me. I will be with those that trust me, but the fainthearted will fail the test. This is not the time for lack of faith. This is the time to stand firm and declare the word over yourself and over your family, for the battle shall be intense. Spend much time with me in my presence to hear your assignment for Satan will put traps before you. Do not listen to his lies or fall into his traps. The faithful ones will go forth and do great exploits, armed in my armor as champions saith the Lord.

PROPHECTIC EXHORTATION

3-20-2023


Don’t ever attempt to define your worth…Based solely on the opinions of those who can’t even see your real value. You must know that you are of such great value; And it’s because God created you and He placed gifts, greatness and value deep inside of you. Oh yes, it was God that made you WHO you ARE; So by all means don’t ever attempt to change WHO you ARE just to try and please someone. You were actually born to be a God pleaser and a God chaser...NOT ever a people chaser or a people pleaser. Therefore don’t even try to explain your worth to those who cannot even recognize and appreciate your true value...Or your vision.

    How Beautiful this Rose! HCC

 

                   This Rose looks up to dawn. 

                          God sees each one of these. 

                          It grows so straight and tall, 

                          For all the World to see. 

                          Could you make just one of these, 

                          So perfect, red, and true? 

                          No, we did not create these things, 

                          Only God, only God, he knew. 

                          He knew what we would like. 

                          He made it smell good too. 

                          This God, this God of life, 

                          So many Roses, all just for you. 

                          So, when you look at Roses, 

                          Or all the flowers he made, 

                          Just smile and say a thank you. 

                          Thank you, Lord, this gift of roses, 

                          Brightens all my days.
