During our captivity, God promised to turn it and not when we come out of it but while we are in it. God wants you to dream again! I can only imagine our slave ancestors and the days they must have wept for themselves, their children, and the men they loved. I can only imagine the songs they must have sung to encourage themselves while being abused, fearful and destroyed. Many of them were dreaming that one day, things would be different for their generations down the road. All of them did not turn from God because the slave masters twisted the scriptures. God collected their tears and is responding to their blood through our lives. They are our cloud of witnesses that are cheering us on now.
Their blood still has a voice today. I will prove it from Genesis 4:9-12 The LORD asked Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” He answered, “I do not know. Am I supposed to take care of my brother?” Then the LORD said, “Why have you done this terrible thing? Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground, like a voice calling for revenge. Our ancestor’s blood is still crying for revenge. It is still crying for restoration. It is still crying for vindication. It is still crying for restitution and God is going to give to us. If we will cry out to him in intercession for divine restoration. (Isiah 42:22)
As we have overcome generational bloodline curses, God is getting ready to release generational blessings. It is for those that allowed God in their captivity to turn it and they gave birth to a dream. You sowed your tears in a previous season. Now it is our time to enter our season of joy!
Just like God judged Cain, God is going to judge the spiritual enemies of our ancestors. This is the time that God is raising up people in the kingdom to become the answer generationally to their promises. You are the fulfillment of what they never received on the earth. God told Abraham his ancestors would be enslaved for four hundred years. In Genesis 15:16 Then in the fourth generation your descendants shall return here [to Canaan, the land of promise], for the wickedness and guilt of the Amorites is not yet complete (finished).”
I am the fourth generation from my late great grandfather, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. God turned my captivity almost twenty years ago amid my troubled marriage, but I too had to wait like Abraham. God has waited generations to do what he is about to reveal through you and me in this next season. It is the fullness of time. For some, you are still in the middle of your captivity and God is about to allow you to dream again!
God is turning it around NOW!!! It’s time to dream again!!!!
Psalm 126:1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
