[29] Children of God

Verses
Romans 8:15-17
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.


1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.


Message
We (you and I) are not the children of a god, we are the children of God-the one and only true and almighty God. We have so much in common with our Father after we become born again by His Word; but we will never know who we are as His children till we renew our minds with His written Word. The god of this world knows this, that's why he tries to keep us blinded: so that we do never have a revelation of the God we are. We are born of the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23) so that we become the Word. Whosoever is born of Spirit is spirit: Whosoever is born of water (the Word of God) is the Word. It's only by renewing our minds with the written Word that we will know who we are, and what it means to be "..seated in heavenly places far above principalities and powers..." not in the future, but now (Ephesians 2:6). The Word of God (the true vine) is in heavenly places fellowshipping with the Father and the Holy Ghost, and we (the branches of the Word) are there also.


When God the Father said "let there be light", they were fellowshipping together. When Father, the Word and Holy Ghost fellowship; creation (things that are beyond our wisdom and understanding) takes place. When the Father, we as Children of God ("baby Words") and the Holy Spirit fellowship; the power of God is manifested—miracles happen, the impossible takes place.  Jesus (born of water- by the word of God) was constantly having fellowship with His Father and the Spirit of God. The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit are one and work as one. This is why we as children of God ("baby words") are to fellowship with the Father and the Holy Ghost—Father talks to us through His Spirit.


The Word acts, we are supposed to act that's where the topic of faith comes in.  Jesus always pleased His Father because He walked by Faith, and as we are told in Hebrews 11:6 "Without Faith it is impossible to please God." The Father speaks, we act in faith and the Holy Ghost does the impossible. You are a child of God; you were born of the Word of God and we as His children need to have fellowship with God. We are not in the devil class or angel class. We are in God's class; and we have been created in His likeness. Jesus the Son of God is the express image of God: God's likeness, our new likeness. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Word of God. He is the first born from the dead and we are to follow. We have the Spirit of Christ; we have the mind of Christ.


The devil knows just a bit of this truth and he is mad he didn’t get to be God. If He didn't get to be God, then to him no one needs to get that opportunity. If he has been destined to go hell then to him everyone needs to go—that's the world we are in, this is why he is "walking about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." He will do any and everything to keep you from the knowledge of the truth and he would also do everything in his power to drag us all to hell. That's why we are told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.


Amen

Ask|Me

Today freedomdevotional.com is rolling out a new product called Ask|Me. The story behind Ask Me In October of 2010, I went over to a pastor friend's house. Actually he was a friend to my parents. I went with a lot of questions on my mind. At the time, I was being battered by a lot of temptations and I needed to know: 1) What would have happened to my soul if I fell and 2) The best way to flee from a major temptation that was awaiting me... When I got to his place however, I couldn't ask him my questions; I was scared he would condemn me or tell my parents about my personal struggles (which I had kept secret for years.) I went back home with my questions, and as you guessed it, the temptation caught up with and over took me. I believe many people like me a while back, have similar questions and are scared of asking anyone for the fear of being condemned and so forth. This is why this product was created: for you. Using the product Send your questions to the as

[13] Whose house (Part two)

Verses 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Message 1) How can a person defile this temple?  Ans: Through the works of the flesh found in Galatians 5:19-21. 2) How will God destroy any man or woman  who defiles His (God's) temple? Ans: They will not inherit the Kingdom of God as we told in Galatians 5:21, but the lake of fire as we are told in Revelations 21:8, Revelations 20:15, Matthew 18:8-9 (and many other places). 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things sh

Like Jesus

Verse John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Message Jesus said, "He that believeth on me, the works that i do shall he do also." Pause! How on earth are we going to do His mighty works, if we do not have the same resources He had? Actually we do. Jesus made the final provision or resource available to all of us on the day of Pentecost. On that day, He sent the Holy Ghost. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. ( Acts 1:8 ) We have all been given a ministry of reconciliation. A ministry that is birthed after the born again experience. This is confirmed in 2 Corinthians 5:17-20,  " Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
