[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

I just found out that my boyfriend also cheated on me...what should I do?

The first question I will like to ask you is, do you love him? If your answer is yes, then you need to pray to God for strength against temptations that will lead you to cheat on him (again). During our moments of weaknesses, that is, when we feel lonely, down or angry, our mind becomes a "temptation playground" and in such moments, it's eminent that you fight off any thoughts that would lead you into temptation, by taking them captive and making them obedient to Christ as Paul stated in 2 Corinthians 10:5, or as Jesus did in Luke 4:1-13.  Thank you...

Like Kindergarten Teachers

Verses John 21:15-17 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Message One of the things I love most about my kindergarten teachers (like all my other teachers) is that, they taught me all they needed to teach me—the abcd's and how to spell—and held nothing back. They loved me even when I didn't know much about loving people, and disciplined me when I caused trouble in class: they...

The Mask Wearers (Free ebook)

Free ebook (The Mask Wearers) Introduction They are all around us; we see them everyday, and we spoke to some of them today. They are also the people we ignore, the ones we look down on, the people we bully, the ones whose hearts we break; the people we disrespect. They are the mask wearers, and till we understand them and/or ourselves, this deadly plague of hatred that's enveloping our planet, is only going to keep transforming us into hate-filled creatures in pursuit of illusions of love: illusions that leave us empty.
