The Living Word for the Beloved Children of God- Your relationship with our Heavenly Father !

My prayer today starts with giving Our Heavenly Father all the glory and honor first to God ! For all He has done for us, in us and  through us ! There must be many types of Dad's who people call by name, so let us honor them all on Father’s Day. Happy Father's Day to you all !
Good morning,
The Living Word for the Beloved Children of God- Your relationship with our Heavenly Father !

Do you know what "Abba"  has done for you ? “Abba” is the Hebrew word for Father. We are the children of God the believers ! It's in 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. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 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.Once we understand God desires a relationship with us, we should more than ever recognize we truly need to run towards Him. This means, reading, studying, praying and meditate on the word of God. It's a command by God, Joshua 1:8,This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.The misguided but popular concept that all people are children of God, is simply not true. Just as children do not choose who will adopt them, or choose who's your earthly father and mother neither do children of God.  Instead, God chooses them ! He predestines them “to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will”, having been chosen by God. It was "He Who chose us in Christ Jesus before the foundation of the world" and We love Him because He first loved us. God, our heavenly Father, has always desired to be close to us, to have a relationship with us like no other. Let us get some understanding first from studying the bible. Due to the sin of man ( Adam), we became separated and disconnected from God. God became a human being ( man) Jesus Christ to take on our sin, He was crucified. Jesus died was buried and rose again, proving His victory over sin and death. Jesus is the one who loves us enough to give His life for us and He is the one who bridged the gap between us and God. It's in Romans 5:8-9, But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Jesus Christ died to save us, not in our sins, but from our sins; and we were yet sinners when he died for us. Nay, the carnal mind is not only an enemy to God, but enmity itself to the spiritual things. Peter says repentance plays an integral role in cementing the relationship between God and man. God is eager to establish that relationship. But He conditions it on our willingness to recognize, acknowledge and repent of our former ways and determine to seek Him. Only then can God redeem us from the penalty of death we deserve because of our sins. For it is written in  Ephesians 1:1-9,Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself. Of those 25,000 words, Jesus taught about the Father in Heaven at least 181 times.This means 1 out of every 140 words, Jesus was speaking about His Father. His central message and purpose was to restore us to a relationship with our Heavenly Father. If we want to be spiritually strong, we must first be rooted and grounded in what God has done for us in Christ Jesus, it's supernatural.  Understand, we have been giving salvation it's the gift of God in and through Christ alone. Jesus Christ is at the very center of God’s divine purpose in bringing universal reconciliation in every sphere of life in heaven and earth. In him alone we have been chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, sealed and consequently glorified. We have been giving power, authority and the spirit of God. It's written in  2 Timothy 1:6 -7, Therefore I remind you that you stir up the gift of God, which is in you by the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Our Holy and Righteous Father, who created and sustains all things, who is the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present God, would allow us to call Him Father ! My prayer, My God when the beloved children of God cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, please touch their hearts by your spirit and lead them to the cross. Heavenly Father, For it is written in Isaiah 53:4-7, Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. For we give you thanks for all, you have done for your beloved children.  Thank you Lord for your love and Your Word of Life. Amen !
