Be Generationally Legacy Minded

Send us Fan MailThe following is a little story that I took out of a book titled, “Sodom Had No Bible” written by Leonard Ravenhill.I've read about it before in other books but since his is the last book that I saw it in I thought I would give him the credit for at least putting it in his book. But it did spark something in me when I read it, umm and well, actually it probably wouldn't have as much have I not also been reading a book titled heavy rain written by Chris Vallotton. His book was more about how to actually be a part of a Christian Church that changes its community. He attends Bethel Church in Redding CA and that is exactly what they are trying to do. But this message is not about that book, it is about the fruit that we leave behind after we die.I believe many of us don't think about this thing, and what we achieve in this lifetime and or set our hearts to achieve would tell us that we're really more concerned about living the best life that we can so that we are good with God, but outside of that we don't expend a lot of effort. As Kris stated in his book we tend to focus more on hell than we do on just trying to make things better while living on earth which if you've ever read your Bible and if we're walking in all those things that Jesus said we could walk in that's exactly what would happen is that we would make this a better earth.John 15:16 - 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.If we look at the bible examples we see how James, John, Peter, Paul and Jesus as well as many others left, so far, a near 2000-year old legacy or harvest of work. Put plainerly, the preaching and other supernatural works that they did are still producing fruit well long after they stopped their work with the exception of Jesus. Now lets look at that scripture again from that perspective:John 15:16 - 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
