Inherit the Wind or Inherit the Earth?
Inherit the Wind or Inherit the Earth? June 2025 NM Prayer Connect/PATH - NM/NM COG, El Paso, TX & SW Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter!
Proverbs 11:29-30 He who troubles (mismanages) his own house will inherit the wind (nothing), And the foolish will be a servant to the wise-hearted.
Romans 4:13-25
New American Standard Bible
13 For the promise to Abraham or to his [a] descendants that he would be heir of the world was not [b] through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are [c] of the Law are heirs, then faith is made void and the promise is nullified; 15 for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.
16 For this reason it is [d] by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the [e] descendants, not only to [f] those who are of the Law, but also to [g] those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, that is, God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that do not exist. 18 In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, “So shall your [h] descendants be.” 19 Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; 20 yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. 22 Therefore it was also credited to him as righteousness. 23 Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, 24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 He who was delivered over because of our wrongdoings, and was raised because of our justification.

On Thursday, May 29, Moccasins Across America entered into New Mexico (Visit Home | Sacred Nation Rises for more information). Our 1st Nations Sisters and Brothers are walking across our great nation from CA to Washington, D.C., but will be in our state until Friday, June 13 (See https://www.christianbody.net for more details on gatherings throughout NM).
Since our March 50th anniversary celebration of Billy Graham coming to Albuquerque in 1975 and speaking to our Native Americans, "The Giant Is AWAKENED!" Ongoing monthly meetings with our Pueblo Peoples in person and Reservation Tribes, throughout North America online have continued to stir up revival fires here, in Canada & Mexico. I believe we are in an awakening period and our mission, should we choose to accept it, will lead to an end time revival, like the world has never seen before, but we must come together as one, with every member doing their part, so we can come into God's fullness. Biblical discipleship, encouragement in house to house 'church planting,' prayer, praise and worship gatherings in small and large groups will set the atmosphere for God's presence to not only come, but dwell continuously among us, as His people. Yes, He is with us always, even to the end of the age, but His Word tells us that one can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight, His Light dispels the darkness, from our individual lives, homes, schools, work places, throughout our cities, counties, states, nations and to the outermost parts of the world, the four corners of the earth! To put it in traditional King James speak, "Believest Thou This?" It's a choice for each of us, individually and corporately, as The Body Of Christ/Messiah/The Anointed ONE, The Church, His Bride. Putting it in the words of a former Pastor in Rio Rancho, "We've already killed the Egyptian, so maybe now it's time we do things God's Way."
Hosea 8:7-14
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 For they sow the wind
8 Israel is swallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a vessel in which no one delights.
They are now among the nations
Like a vessel in which no one delights.
9 For they have gone up to Assyria,
Like a wild donkey all alone;
Ephraim has hired [c] lovers.
Ephraim has hired [c] lovers.
10 Even though they hire allies among the nations,
Now I will gather them up;
And they will begin to [d]diminish
Because of the burden of the king of princes.
And they will begin to [d]diminish
Because of the burden of the king of princes.
11 Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin,
They have become altars of sinning for him.
12 Though I wrote for him ten thousand precepts of My law,
They are regarded as a strange thing.
13 As for My sacrificial gifts,
They sacrifice the flesh and eat it,
But the Lord has taken no delight in them.
Now He will remember their iniquity,
And punish them for their sins;
They will return to Egypt.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;
And Judah has multiplied fortified cities,
But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.
They have become altars of sinning for him.
12 Though I wrote for him ten thousand precepts of My law,
They are regarded as a strange thing.
13 As for My sacrificial gifts,
They sacrifice the flesh and eat it,
But the Lord has taken no delight in them.
Now He will remember their iniquity,
And punish them for their sins;
They will return to Egypt.

And Judah has multiplied fortified cities,
But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.

We all have free choice, so the choice is ours, but God tells each and every one of us to, "Choose LIFE!" If we believe His Word and like our father Abraham, take Him at His Word, we become joint heirs with Christ, but if not, we may gain the whole world and lose our souls, so read aloud, meditate and pray on the above portions of Holy Script, praying in the yet unfulfilled prophecies of God and trust in The Truth, that all of God's Promises Are YES & AMEN, In Christ Jesus/Yeshua/Salvation and HE is working all things together for our good, for those who Love Him and are called, according to His Purposes. Paul the Apostle calls Abraham the "heir of the world," probably because Melchizedek blessed him as "possessor of heaven and earth" (Genesis 14:19) and as children of Abraham, by faith, we shall 'inherit the earth!'
When I was about 7 years old, I had a small part in a Methodist Church play, while living in Newark, NJ and my lines were, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth," as Jesus stated in His Sermon On The Mount in Matthew 5:5-13 and the Psalmist:
Psalm 37:11
New American Standard Bible
11 But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
I'll leave you with this closing comment. 2 Chronicles 7:14 is quoted in nearly every prayer meeting I have ever attended and I think we miss the point. It's not just about prayer, but ultimately, God wants to heal our land, so let us honor our original people of the land, as they sweep across our nation, praying and believing that God will have His Way with this country and the rest of the world, because He wishes that none would perish and all would come!
Deuteronomy 11:24
New American Standard Bible
24 Every place on which the sole of your foot steps shall be yours; your border will be from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the river, the river Euphrates, as far as [a] the western sea.
