Our Father

Our Father is God. 

We have received the seed of His Spirit and life into the earth of our body. 

Our genealogy can be traced back to one. We have but one Father who is in heaven. 

The one from the beginning has become our beginning. 

Adam was a son of God before he fell, no longer in the image of God, but clothed in animal skins, regulated to the life and death of a creature of the earth. 

Jesus is the Son of God that raises all who will follow as sons of God, making us in His image and lifting us into the life of Christ in the kingdom of heaven. 

This is our end seen from the beginning. 

This is our birthright and destiny. 

It is written before it happens. 

God Promised

Joshua 23:15-16 (ESV Strong's)

15 But just as all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the Lord will bring upon you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from off this good land that the Lord your God has given you, 16 if you transgress the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land that he has given to you.”

Everything the Lord says is as good as a promise because His word is true and endures. He promises good things and bad things, depending on our choices. 

We are saved by Christ. We are to live, or work out, our salvation with fear and trembling. The Holy Spirit leads us, but we must follow. May we always remember the wonderful gift of His life and act accordingly. 

The Word

The word of God originates from God and is God. 

The creative impulse is given breath and a word comes forth. 

The word is spoken through the breath of God, the Holy Spirit. 

The word enters the darkness of man and becomes flesh. 

That flesh is raised in the form of the light of heaven into a new creation, Christ Jesus. 

Those who get the word meet Him there. 

Like A Child

Mark 10:15 (ESV Strong's)

Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”

We must become as a child to inherit the kingdom of heaven. Innocent as were Adam and Eve before the fall. 

To have your sins washed out away by Jesus is to enter the Garden of Eden, the kingdom of heaven, and the very Paradise of God. It is the same destination that was predestined for those who follow Him and overcome the world. 

For those who desire to find their way to the Garden, He is the way, the truth, and the life. 

Wait For Your Name

Psalms 52:9 (ESV Strong's)

I will thank you forever,

because you have done it.

I will wait for your name, for it is good,

in the presence of the godly.

We have taken the name of the Lord for our own as we wait to receive it as overcomers upon the return of Jesus. 

Have No Fear

Matthew 17:5-8 (ESV Strong's)

5 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.” 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

The old covenant taught the children of God to fear Him. To obey Him because He a mighty and fearful God. 

Jesus says to “Rise, and have no fear.” Love casts out all fear, for it is the greatest thing and the  power of God. 

The Marks

Galatians 6:17 (ESV Strong's)

From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

Anyone who has died to Christ bears the mark of the Lord. We are circumcised in the heart by the Holy Spirit.
