Generations of His Purposes!

Working on an article considering generations, less as about physical age, and more about “generations of God’s purposes”. Looking at biblical characters like Joshua and Moses who got to walk in at least two generations in this sense. Fun meditation, which takes us out of the boxes of mere age, and into our chapters in God’s  long novel.

Each generation like a chapter in a book relates to the whole.

What’s your generational part in building the ancient spiritual house? What is your generation’s part of the overall structure, or spiritual building, or house, God is building to wear His Own name through the generations of His Purposes? He is writing a grand novel about Himself through all the generations; what is your generation’s chapter to add?

My own generation are namers, interpreters and authenticators. So…

Why authenticators now? Why have a generation of those who are manifesting and walking with Christ in a truly authentic manner. Why would He emphasize that now, in the overall building of His Church or expression on earth. Why authenticate Christianity now?

I often feel the generations of His Purposes, and try to seek out what He is emphasizing each generation. What is He highlighting about Himself through your generation? And why emphasize what your own generation carries now in the story? Lot’s of cool questions around generations, when you really consider the overall flow of the story. Each generation has its gifts and shadows, but allowing Him to write you into the big Story, is meaningful.

Through mine, it is authenticity. We are transparent and real about who we are, and who He is. There is no religious interruption, or ideological one.

I feel the chapters of His Story, and how we are uniquely included in the grand narrative. At times, i can step outside my own generational role and just enjoy the overall story. We each have our part to play, but the story is much bigger than us. May we build well on the foundation which is already laid.

 St Paul warned us to build our part well in the long spiritual saga, and to recall the foundations and be thankful that others built well before us. We test our building on whether we an see the foundation which is Christ, and then we move out with the Father and consider the whole structure, then we add our particular part, we are privileged to build with Him.

Generation is not just about age, but rather about generations of God’s purposes—i.e. what chapter of the story is your generation? You look at how Joshua walked through three generations of His Purposes. Most of us get two, if we are blessed. But knowing the generations of His Purposes, helps us collaborate in the true story of our times.  And how does your life and your generation’s gifts. fit into the grand novel? What is your generation’s part in the story? And why would you come now, in the drama? Again, it’s not just about physical age, but what generation or what chapter of His purposes we each are. And then how to work together, to make the transitions seamless.
