The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

that history was imperative for successive heirs to trace their right of inheritance and rulership back to the first one in the line that forged a covenant with its genealogical spirit. The ability to do so confirmed their legitimacy to the powers over the sphere or realm of earthly power the family line was to perpetuate. The early idea of family included extending and continuing the powers and presence of the spirit force that supposedly gave it life and origin. The family’s incumbents were to enlarge their predecessor’s achievements with each succeeding descendant to take its reins of rulership. It is the present and future offspring’s responsibility to see that the spiritual power behind the family’s line is satiated, appeased, and worshipped, as well as communicated to the seed to come. Failure to do so nullifies the covenant made with its progenitor of the line and disqualifies the heirs for their inheritance. The failure closes them off from the covenant provisions ordained by promise to the heirs. Christians born again into the family of Creator God, the household of faith, are as obliged as the ancients were to observe the terms and conditions of their family tree. That is why the names and history of people listed in Hebrews 11 are so important to the New Creation saint. In addition, it is what made it important for the gospel writers to meticulously list the genealogy of Christ. Doing so met the requirements of the eternal familial tradition. It enabled Him to comply with the everlasting imperative to trace His human lineage back to the royalty, dominion, and humanity of His inheritance. Christ needed to establish His legitimate right to rule on earth to satisfy the accusatory subordinates of His rule. Likewise, He was equally obligated, for the sake of the eternal citizenry, to trace His divine lineage back to Creator God as well as to affirm His right to rule there. Kingship on all realms has been established by Him in the records of the Creator. Sonship, Priesthood, and Sovereignty of all the works of His Father’s hands are rightfully Christ’s as the Heir of heirs according to Colossians 1:15– 18. See Familiar Spirit and Familiarity. 504.
