  • Have you unlocked your inheritance?
    Nov 20 2024

    Join our conversation!

    Have you unlocked your inheritance?

    Let’s Journey Together and spend a midweek Moment with Father.

    I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here.

    We usually consider an inheritance as something we receive after a loved one has passed away. Many people count on their inheritance to get them out of a bad situation, to satisfy a debt, and to make their dreams come true.

    Growing up in a family of modest means, the thought of an inheritance never entered my mind. Earthly comforts were never denied me and my bookend brothers, yet we didn’t live an extravagant lifestyle. Our needs were met, our home was safe, and we were loved. My parents were hard workers who instilled in their children a mindset that you only get what you work hard for. An inheritance our families benefit from still today.

    Yet, there is an inheritance each of us can unlock right now, and hard work on our part is not required.


    God's grace and mercy provide us with a key to living hope in Jesus Christ. He is the key to unlocking an imperishable inheritance.

    We read in 1 Peter 1:3-4 NIV, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,”


    Father's inheritance of love for us is undeniable—yet so many are not experiencing Him.


    We all have loved ones who are hanging on by a thread, trying in their own might to make it through another day. The words of Truth we share with them can change the trajectory of their lives, unlocking an eternal inheritance. When we reach out in love to extend a hand of mercy, supportive grace, or a word of encouragement, we are, in essence, handing them a key to their inheritance.

    Oh, my friend, the time is now. Let us choose to create memories of inheritance in the lives of our children, family, and friends. Let us share the truth of Christ as we gather together. The Living hope of our eternal inheritance.

    How can you share Jesus with those you love?

    Let’s journey together

    Help me, Lord.
    Remove any hesitation to share the Good News of Messiah.
    Give me strength and wisdom.
    Guide my thoughts and actions.
    Open doors where I can lend a helping hand of mercy.
    Provide moments where I can share my Jesus stories.
    Thank You for Your Son. Thank You for the Holy Spirit.
    May all I do bring You honor and glory.
    In Christ, Your Son, by His power.
    Hallelujah.

    Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22

    May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.

    Hey everyone...this is a solo interview today as I’m on-site at the FCWC. I’m so happy to have Linda Gilden join our conversation as we discuss – Spontaneous Grandparenting

    Linda Gilden is an experienced bestselling writer, speaker, award-winning editor, marketer, speaking coach, ghostwriter, and writing coach. Author of 40 books and 1,500+ magazine articles, Linda believes that with our stories, we can change the world one word at a time and loves to encourage others through writing coaching and personal tutoring. Her newest book, Trading Shadows—Exchanging a Life of Secrets, Fear, and Doubt for a Life of Freedom with the Almighty, was released in November.

    Linda’s greatest joy is time with her family, where their secret love note is folded potato chips. Her favorite activity is floating in a pool with a good book surrounded by the cutest grandchildren in the world, which is great fodder for writing.

    What is spontaneous Grandparenting?

    Isn’t grandparenting supposed to be an extension of the parenting in the family?

    So, shouldn’t grandparenting be different in many ways?
