Our security is in knowing God as our Heavenly Father

Part 3

14. Abiyram: A Father of great stature who wants to promote His children because He always sees the best in them. For me I find God constantly challenging me to believe the scriptures and wanting me to trust Him as a loving Father who does not lie. It is time for the entire family of God to presume the best from God as He presumes and looks at the best in us.

Paul the Apostle in Eph. 4:11-15 tells us the stature God has called us to. “God’s intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), that they should do the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church), that it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the full and accurate knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly and living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him, who is the Head, who is Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).”

Let’s consider the fact that Jesus in the short thirty three years he lived on the earth and the final three years of fulfilling His calling never had an argument with the government of His day even though He was put to death by them because the religious crowd of His day provoked them to do it. Religion is the enemy to the Christian life of power. I pray all of you who are reading this realize that people are being molded through false doctrines being preached in the pulpits of today and the only stature that is being built is the religious stature of good works but not according to the leading of the Holy Ghost. God the Father can not o.k.’ and say amen to anything being raised up in church assemblies that are contrary to his word.

The devil’s main goal is to enslave people to not meditate on the word of God day and night and their ignorance of God’s way of thinking has kept them enslaved to fleshly habits and a methodical prioritizing of a God of ritual with Sunday meetings of some one telling them that they must obey the Ten Commandments not because of the pleasure of living in security and fellowship with the living God but the fear of the consequences that if they don’t, God may send them to hell or some terrible thing may befall them.

With this mind of set constantly keeping tract that you are not breaking the Ten Commandments is like me eating spinach and taking caster oil when I was a kid and hating it and constantly being told this is going to be good for you. I am convinced that people who live in this type of thinking have either never become born again and if they are born again there sitting under hirelings lying in the pulpits of America who have no clue as to how our loving Father feels and wants to interact with His children and live with a concept that God is a task masters of self arrogance.

Scripture tells us that once we become born again and a child of God we become righteous or blameless like Jesus in God’s sight. It says in the Greek Concordance that we are to put on the Lord Jesus Christ. When we put Him on it says we sink into a white robe that can not be taken off and God sees us with the same stature as Jesus His first begotten son as being pure, blameless with the potential he gave us still intact and He is forever motivating us to take a step up and believe the vision He has of us.

We must guard our hearts so that no mingled seed of false doctrine is being sown in our heart with teachings focused on a sin consciousness which causes us to look under our white robe of righteousness and focus on our faults and failures which cripples our trust in a God who gave us His grace which is His (unmerited favor) that empowers our lives to walk in obedience to his will. This is indeed a serious condition and we must seek God with tenacity and passion and petition Him for His wisdom so we can look after each other that we do not fall back from receiving God’s grace. We must be persuaded that we are going to reach the full stature of Christ in our thinking as we have already been born again into the stature of Christ.

15. Abishag: A Father who wants to deliver us from our error in thought and action with His love. A God who so loves His children in spite of the curse the devil put on mankind because of Adams disobedience. As long as the body of Christ thinks in right and wrong concepts, God will continue to give them the assurance that He will cover this type of thinking with His grace and favor. To our natural mind it is very difficult to understand this type of love because of the fact that this curse we were born with makes us judge ourselves as being unclean in some area of our life.

Paul in Romans 6; 13 tells us “For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you, since now you are not under Law [as slaves], but under grace [as subjects of God’s favor and mercy].” He continues to point out in this chapter that there is a concept of sin consciousness operating in our thought life and where this demonic influence tries to control our thinking, God gives more of His grace to overcome this tendency. Sin consciousness exists because we realize that we have broken one of God’s laws. Our human understanding thinks in terms of breaking specific laws where scripture tells us if we break one law we are guilty of breaking all the laws. This takes place because we are not thinking with our righteous mind of Christ. God doesn’t any longer deal with sin in the born again believer because our nature was delivered from a sin conscious mentality at the cross when we accepted Christ and it was nailed to the cross as Jesus was.

Scripture tells us that any one nailed to the cross is cursed and when He dies the curse dies and when we became born again the curse we were born with also died. I am not giving any one permission that gives them permission to do what ever they want to do. This concept of sin consciousness is so imbedded in the born again believers mind that they need to sit under anointed teaching to really understand how God wants to deliver them from this kind of thinking. This was the main reason God sent His Son to die on the cross so we could be set free from this judgmental attitude towards our self. Unless this concept is reinforced in the pulpits of today and our minds are being washed with the true interpretation of God’s word, God who’s ultimate desire is one of destroying any error thinking in His children will never come to pass and God’s children will be always looking over their shoulder thinking God loves me and He loves me not.This is what cause born again believers to stay double minded as to their liberty in Christ and really come to appreciate what Christ Jesus did for them at the cross when they became born again.

16. Abiyshuwac- Abiyshuwr: A Father of plenty who has a humble Spirit of freedom to give and one who goes about with great joy as a merchant selling His goods where He cries “I am rich come to me and I will make you prosper because my entire being is one who wants to give to you.” It’s hard to believe for many Christians that God so loves them that, they can keep their ear open to the Holy Ghost’s leading and not worry about tomorrow. Worry is part of the curse and we have to be weaned off it in all its many form from God daily. There is an old hymn we used to sing that says “trust and obey for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, just trust and obey.” I just today had a conversation with a man I have known for the last year at a cook out at my son’s house because of my oldest nephew coming home on leave from the navy with my new great grandson. I have over the last year got to know this man and had a chance to drop the word of God in his heart a few times. Today however I got some type of response by him telling me that for God to be loving you, you have to be doing something to deserve it. I asked him if he had a loving father when he was a child and did his father love on him and feed him and treat him with kindness. His answer was that when he was a child his father used to beat him mercilessly.

I pray that this statement that he made was the beginning of him being set free from him having a distorted picture of what a loving father wants to be to his children. I told him about the experience that I had as a child living with my mom and dad. However, that was as far I could go and he went his way. I am convinced that there are some deep hurts and a lot of unforgiveness between fathers and their children that has a lot of people locked up in their emotions and they are going through their arena of life looking for love in all the wrong places because they do not trust God to love on them.

17. Abishay: A Father with gifts who is ready to give a gift to His children if they will receive it. In Mathew 7:7-11 Jesus states. “Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you, for everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened. What man is there among you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!”

It is interesting to note that Jesus said that a father can be evil and still be giving good gifts to his children. Therefore, it is my contention that there is a higher meaning as to being good or evil in ones life. God does not reason in right and wrong thinking in His love and concern for his children. God the Father only judges as a person being righteous or unrighteous in His sight. Unless a person is born again, he is unrighteous, and not a child of God and their heart is wicked. When we say wicked, the Greek Concordance calls this being worthless and corrupt. This is the condition that mankind was born with when they come out of the womb and the reason why we must have a second birth from above to receive a new heart as our heavenly Father so we can love like he does. God’s great passion is to have mercy and adjust to the point of going out of His way to bless His children no matter what crevices or thickets of life they get caught up in as they grow to maturity.

Being a loving unsaved father raising his children is one thing and they can give good gifts to their children however, the greatest gift we can give to our children as fathers is the inheritance that we received from our Heavenly Farther the day we became born again. This transfer of inheritance to our children as born again believers can only be transferred by spiritual revelation from the Holy Ghost that is giving fathers a vision and passionate heart for their children to reach their potential in Christ. Only born again fathers can participate in God’s invisible kingdom of life because, they have an inner discernment of the spiritual world because they are truly God’s kids.

18. Abiyshalowm: A Father of peace that wants to be friendly and wants his children to rest in His care with an attitude of totally being accepted when meeting. He always has a smile on His face with a great concern for the battles we are going through as we are searching for our identity with purpose and passion to find our place in the family.

In John 14:27 Jesus said. My peace I leave with you; my own peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.”

We are talking about a fathers love and care for his children. Jesus through out scripture told people that he only did and said what his Father told Him. We need to take his advice and understand that the devil has a plan of giving people a physical high that gives the mirage of peace but it is not a true peace from God. The devil comes as an angel of light to mimic with a lying spirit with ideas and physical manifestations to give mankind peace but it only becomes a bondage to him in many forms. It is obvious to many that drugs can give you a temporary peace and there are millions that are hooked on them in many forms. Some of the other things that can give us peace are sex in its many stages of perversions, overeating to gluttony, tyranny and arrogants but what is the most dangerous are doctrines of devils being preached in different denominations in the guise of a scriptural based foundations that is nothing more then physical hype, feeding the flesh with no anointed sanctioning by the Holy Ghost. Since scripture tells us that we are living in the last days of this dispensation of time and the days are evil. People’s hearts are fainting through fear and the peace of God that he promises that must go beyond our own understanding, can only be communicated to calm our nerves by the threats we have to deal with daily by a coming together spirit to spirit with God and mankind, through the Holy Ghost who Jesus sent to be a comforter of our souls.

19. Ebyathar: A Father of abundance. We have a Father of to much who wants to supply us with more than enough and wants to rest His Spirit on and through us and allow all mercy and goodness to abound on us forever.

In Luke 12:27-34 Jesus said. “Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither [wearily] toil nor spin nor weave; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory (his splendor and magnificence) was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you [people] of little faith? And you, do not seek [by meditating and reasoning to inquire into] what you are to eat and what you are to drink; nor be of anxious (troubled) mind [unsettled, excited, worried, and in suspense]; For all the pagan world is [greedily] seeking these things, and your Father knows that you need them Only aim at and strive for and seek His kingdom, and all these things shall be supplied to you also. Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom! Sell what you possess and give donations to the poor; provide yourselves with purses and sell what you possess and give donations to the poor; provide yourselves with purses and handbags that do not grow old, an unfailing and inexhaustible treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

We experience God’s abundance because we have decided with passion to put our trust in a God. When we walk in obedience by practicing a firm foundation principle of constantly looking for places to plant the blessing that God has given us because, we need to be always ready to give to anyone who crosses our path where God wants us to plant monies, food, clothing or words of wisdom from Him because; the people we meet are poor or weary in some area of their lives and need a helping hand in some way and as we do it for them we do it unto the Lord. This is the new nature we received when we became born again and adopted into God’s family because, God our father does not want us to worry any more about what we will eat or wear because; He wants us to be finally persuaded that He wants a intimate relationship with us and when this happens these fears of living in a survivor mode mentality will be put to rest.

I have just put many words from scripture on paper about God our Father. However, with out the leading and flowing of the Holy Ghost in our heart and mind, we can not have a witnessing relationship with a risen Christ and experience His presence and personal relationship in our lives of all these attributes that I have talked about of the God of the universe who is our Father if, we are not born again. I don’t know how a person can petition a God in heaven who they do not really know. The body of Christ is spiritually bankrupt in comparison to the vision and abundance that God has for those who diligently seek Him with all their heart. I can understand why there is so much rebellion among youths and why the family is under such attack. It’s because the father principle of authority is becoming more none existent and the basic building block of a holy society is crumbling before our very eyes. We desperately need for the body of Christ to wake up from their spiritual stupor and begin to stand in the gap for God if, Godly order is going to be restored to this country. I say all this because I have over forty years through being chastised by God my Father and am continuing to learn that he always loves me in spite of myself and I have come to know Him because; I am becoming more stable and becoming aware of the fact that I have always been known by Him however, no one really communicated to me His real heart because they don’t really know him themselves.

2. This verse goes on to say, we have a Father who is in heaven. How does this become a realty to us and how are we able to relate to a Father who is in a heavenly realm? In John 3:23-24 Jesus said. “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”

Scripture tells us that the born again believer must not take his light and revelation of the gospel and put it under a bushel so it can not be seen in this world of darkness and getting darker daily. Any body who is actively at work in their prayer closet having fellowship with God in the throne room daily and actively trying to stand in the gap for God and has got to be grieved and amazed at the lack of Christian activity out side the walls of the church in our personal areas of life. I have over the last twenty some years been approached in the market place two times as to asking me if I have accepted Jesus into my life. To me this is a staggering example of a sleeping church who has no clue as to their identity as God’s children and the power and authority to represent God in a world that is being influenced by every other spirit rather the spirit of the Holy Ghost.

In my life time I have participated in praying for people who have been demon possessed. We have here a very real living entity that can not be physically or mentally explained away. We have the spirit world very real and at work here. I have talked to people who were active in witch craft and have gotten saved and the power they had through Satan was very real and in operation. We have people on T.V. who talk to the dead and have meetings where they prophesy to the family in the guise of it being one of their dead loved ones. In reality these are active spirits of demons mimicking the Holy Ghost and leading people astray.

What amazes me is there are witchcraft meetings taking place as close as our back yards especially around Halloween time and the body of Christ, God’s church are afraid to deal and thrust themselves into spiritual warfare and deal with these same problems as Jesus and the Apostles did when they walked the earth. It as if the body of Christ is in a constant mode of being trained to stop messing their diaper and told that God’s kingdom is about getting their needs met and one day we will receive if we will continue to believe however, they should be learning how to hear God’s voice and make a difference in their families and every where they put their foot it is God showing up for them to make a impact whether the atmosphere is friendly or hostile.

I have found that people are either greatly prone to investigate spiritual phenomena or living like an ostrich with their head in the sand. Paul in Ephesians 2:4-6 says. “God is so rich in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love in which He loved (past tense) and loves us now, even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved ( delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation.

He has raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together giving us [joint seating] with Him in the heavenly sphere by virtue of our being in Christ Jesus the Messiah, the Anointed One.

We didn’t receive joint seating by being a certain denomination or us being a philanthropist in any form. Or working at things we can do or trying to stop some of the things we are doing in our own strength. It says we have joint seating in the heavenly sphere because we are in Christ Jesus and He is in us as we are in him. As you’re reading this can you say for sure that you are walking in heavenly places in the kingdom of God and have a witness from with in daily that you are hearing and identifying God’s voice as being His sheep and truly following Him. It is us allowing the Holy Ghost to convince us that God is a jealous lover that wants us to empty ourselves in prayer and then wait for an answer when seeking him for not only our needs but our wants as we learn to trust and rest in his care. I hope I am getting some amen’s from you who are reading this article.

3. We continue with step three stating, “hallowed be thy name.” The words for hallowed in the Greek Concordance are hagion-hagios-hagnos. Meaning to brood over, cherish or foster a saint and have a countenance of being innocent and pure. This word is life itself. It is not a rote word of addressing a person of authority but a living union of two minds coming together of sharing emotions of pain and joy and knowing that the father you are talking too is feeling our feelings. The word hallowed is not a title of a God with power to destroy or create life but one who broods over His children. Like a mother bird that sits on her eggs to incubate them. In Genesis it tells us the Holy Ghost brooded over the universe because He was the one that created it.

David the King who was a man after God’s own heart said this in Psalms 36:7-10 “Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, extend to the skies, and your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. O Lord, You preserve man and beast. How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of your wings. They relish and feast on the abundance of your house; and you cause them to drink of the stream of your pleasures. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. O continue Your loving-kindness to those who know You, Your righteousness (salvation) to the upright in heart.”

David was a man after God’s own heart because he had all of his life sought after God even when he was shepherding sheep for his father he was making melody in his heart and having fellowship with God all day long. He had learned and was continuing to keep his heart pliable as a child and knew God loved him and he had learned to live in the presence of the Lord all day long. When we say hallowed we should be bring with it the Spirit of the Holy Ghost in a inner knowing that we are really talking to our Heavenly Father who looks forward to us seeking Him out. Jesus was not giving these people a magical formula of what to pray when we need help because we are having a crisis in our lives. The our father prayer has become a rote lifeless bunch of words in many circles that has no true life meaning with the awareness that we are talking to a living God who wants to have fellowship with us all day long. Above all that we have the Catholic church now praying to other so called canonized saints and petitioning them for help and using them as a mediator to God other then Jesus Christ.

I am sitting here at the moment with a grieved spirit and at times like this the love of God constrains me to simply share my feelings and at times I find it difficult to empty myself. When I feel like this worshiping the Lord causes the grieving to subside. I must share a personal experience that I had this morning with the Lord. I believe He was showing me how grieved and sad He is when He sees his creation suffering and dying because of their unbelief in him. I awoke at three thirty this morning as happens on many occasions and they had a special on the P.B.S. channel. It was a one hour documentary of world war 11. It showed the pacific campaign and our war against the Japanese. The pictures were so graphic and it showed dying and wounded soldiers and the footage of the landings at Okinawa, Iwo Jima among other places and the fierce fighting and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians that were being killed. Four hundred and fifty thousand American soldiers lost their lives during world war 11. A total of fifty five million people were totally killed and I can’t remember how many were wounded. They read some of the love letters that many of the men wrote back to their wives and sweethearts. And there was something clean, modest with a simple humility in their words.

I thought I was only five years old when the war ended. I was safe and secure living in my father’s house free from all fears never knowing what was going on in the world around me. They showed America dropping the H bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and nearly one hundred a fifty thousand civilians were instantly killed and only God knows how many died later or were scared for life. The documentary said we had to bomb those people because if we didn’t we would have had two hundred and fifty thousand more casualties in the war. Tokyo was forty percent destroyed because of the continuing bombing of our planes. I heard the commentator say that in World War 1, the allies made a pact that they would not kill civilians. However, that commitment went by the way side because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and now we had the right to bomb and kill civilians. I guess it’s the eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth philosophy. That is not God’s way.

In my grief of being reminded of this carnage I thought Lord, what has changed. Man is nothing but a beast in his own understanding and destined to repeat his own mistakes. Scripture tells us that in the last days we will have wars and rumors of wars. I believe that human nature has a tendency to forget when God in His mercy tries to protect His creation from obliterating itself from the planet. This is the curse put on mankind in the garden. Mankind forgets even though the spirit of a loving Father with His watchful eye and great desire to protect and promote what he has made is being driven out of the awareness of society as it was in the days of Noah when He found only Noah and his family as righteous people really having fellowship with God. As a father desperately loving my children, I pray daily for them to not be put to sleep by a sick society and them fainting from seeking the presence of God everyday.

When I look back over these last sixty five years it scares me and causes me to cast all my care on God as I see a spirit of deception that has caused even the churches of America to lower the standard of excellence and the people have lost their simple child like trust in God and the standard for Godly living has been put to sleep because the true gospel of righteousness is not being preached. I have said this many times in other articles that I have written and I am being reminded by God right now and I will remind you.

In 11 Chronicles 7:14 it says. “If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, ( crave, ) and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.” When one is hallowed they are sainted by God and become like him because we are His children the day we became born again. I do not believe that the body of Christ sees the necessity and urgency to humble them selves and seek their heavenly Fathers face because the cares of life have so blinded them and the urgency of the days in which we are living are so wicked that the devil is preparing the human revelation of the Anti-christ to be manifested. God help us to understand how hallowed we are and so like our heavenly Father so we can have boldness when we call upon him and not be afraid to look at him face to face.

4. Your kingdom come: We must be able to recognize God’s kingdom if we are going to ask Him to make it a reality in our lives. It is as god shows it to us that we become hunger to go after it. I have heard it preached that eventually when Jesus comes back He is going to bring His kingdom with Him. Jesus is coming back to rule over his kingdom that we have been put in charge of now while on the earth. The day we became born again and a new creature in Jesus Christ as it is stated in 11Cor. 5:17, we received all of God’s characteristics and His kingdom was born in us. Jesus in John 3 states that a person must be born again to be able to enter the kingdom. The word enter is a verb and an action word of participation.

Scripture tells us that for a lack of vision and knowledge God’s children perish. We must have the vision of what I have just said that being, the kingdom already in us or we will not be hungry enough to seek the knowledge of how to operate in it. This is why false doctrine being taught contrary to this principle keeps God’s kids palsied as to knowing the power they have to live the Christian life. It is us knowing that we are sons and daughters of God and that we have a mouth full of Holy Ghost words with the authority of God to bring God’s kingdom to life in our arena of life that we operate in. When we pray thy kingdom come we are asking God to empower us with His wisdom from above to speak to a situation that we have the power to change. We are not talking about a casual life style here like a magic potion or some type of witch craft that is going on in many of our born again churches of today. David the King was called on by God to lead the Israelite nation. He came into the palace with out a clue as to what was expected of him since he now became a king. He learned by depending on God to train him for the duties that he was called to do and God brought people into his life to support and guide him. King Saul’s son Jonathan who he replaced was one of these people who helped David to navigate in the kingdom that God gave him.

Scripture tells us that we have been called to be kings and priests in God’s kingdom. A child in his diapers can not rule as a king until he is weaned off of drinking the milk of the word of God and begin to eat solid food as a grown up. We must allow the Holy Ghost the opportunity to teach and comfort us in our growing pains so we can take our rightful place at God’s side as Jesus did. You can’t confess God’s edicts if you are ignorant of God’s word. So we must be persuaded that our vision and purpose must be very clear in our thinking if we intend to reach our potential and be a light in this dark world that is getting darker.
