The meek shall inherit the earth. However, meekness should not be interpreted as weakness. Meekness is defined as patience and long-suffering. We have all heard that we are supposed to turn the other cheek. And we have all felt that this is a tremendous struggle, but this is actually referring to giving the battle to God, and letting Him issue the consequences for anothers actions. It is God who is judge, and not ourselves, because He knows all things. This is God's Justice.
For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, " says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:30-31.
Gods justice is Gods way of balancing the scale. For every time that we are attacked, directly or indirectly, God is willing to grant us justice in the form of more blessings and favor. It is written in Psalms 37:23,
For the LORD loves justice And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
His Holy Word also says in Isaiah 28:17, I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies And the waters will overflow the secret place.
In Isaiah 54:17, No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD.
Therefore, God will act on your behalf to exact justice, if He did not the weapon would prosper and God has already said that this would not happen.
The catch is that we have to ask for justice, and we have to be without sin when we ask for it, in order for God to be justified in granting us justice. Otherwise, God would be blessing our sin. That is why I ask God for justice immediately after I have asked for forgiveness and repented of my sins. People have said, ?but we have all fallen short of the glory of God. That is true. That is why you have to make a true effort to live a sinless life, otherwise any repentance would be considered insincere.
We can not ask for a specific kind of justice, or that justice be delivered in a certain way. Justice does not mean that God acts against your enemies, although he may. Justice means that God acts in your favor, by granting you blessings, favor, and anointing. And God only gives us what we can handle at that very moment and the rest goes into your spiritual bank account, where it is held for you until you ask for justice again, which brings us to the subject of spiritual inheritance.
Our families, for generations, have come under attack for one reason or another. Each of us pays for the sins of past generations. Scripture states that the sons and daughters will pay for the sins of the parents to the third and fourth generation, and that the penalty of the sin of a bastard (a child born out of wedlock) is carried forward for ten generations. It is found in Exodus 34:6-7,
Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."
We find the penalty of the sins of a bastard in Deuteronomy 23:2, "No one of illegitimate birth shall enter the assembly of the LORD; none of his descendants, even to the tenth generation, shall enter the assembly of the LORD."
We can, and need, to ask for forgiveness and repent of all of our generational sins. After repenting of all of our generational sins, we may ask for God?s justice on the behalf of our family. Each living member of your family should do this for themselves. However, a parent or guardian may act on the behalf of a child.
In this way, it is possible for us to receive the blessings and favor that God actually intended for our past generations, but that they never actually received. They, your past generations, were robbed by satan, directly or indirectly, and you have the right to receive the blessings and favor that they should have received. This is how we receive our spiritual inheritance, while still here on earth. God wants justice for all of His Kingdom, but we must ask for it.
