Jesus is the Healer, the Deliverer, the Conqueror, the Life-giver, the One Who cancels debts in whatever form they take.  What is the result?  Peace and abundance!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

7    So Jesus went over it again, “I speak to you eternal Truth: I am the Gate for the flock.

8   All those who broke in before me are thieves who came to steal, but the sheep never listened to them.

9   I am the Gateway. To enter through Me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction.

10  A thief has only one thing in mind— he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

11  I am the Good Shepherd who lays down My life as a sacrifice for the sheep.

When we are in the flow with Our Lord Jesus Christ, we experience joy which is one of the fruit of THE SPIRIT.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:

22   But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is Divine Love in all Its varied expressions:

joy that overflows,

peace that subdues,

patience that endures,

kindness in action,

a life full of virtue,

faith that prevails,

gentleness of heart,

and strength of spirit.

Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.

24    Keep in mind that we who belong to Jesus, the Anointed One, have already experienced crucifixion. For everything connected with our self- life was put to death on the cross and crucified with Messiah. 25 We must live in the Holy Spirit and follow after Him.

As you and I fully mature, so will these fruit in our lives.  They will be observable by others who will be drawn to us.

Do not be discouraged by the challenges being presented before you.  Don’t allow yourself to be worn down.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

2   We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because His heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be His, He endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the Right Hand of the Throne of God!

3    So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures.

4    After all, you have not yet reached the point of sweating blood in your opposition to sin. 5 And have you forgotten His encouraging words spoken to you as His children? He said, “My child, don’t underestimate the value of the discipline and training of the Lord God, or get depressed when HE has to correct you. 6 For the Lord’s training of your life is the evidence of His faithful Love. And when He draws you to Himself, it proves you are His delightful child.”

I don’t know about you, but I needed to be refreshed in the above passage!

7   Fully embrace God’s correction as part of your training, for HE is doing what any Loving father does for his children. For who has ever heard of a child who never had to be corrected? 8 We all should welcome God’s discipline as the validation of authentic Sonship. For if we have never once endured HIS correction it only proves we are strangers and not sons.

9   And isn’t it true that we respect our earthly fathers even though they corrected and disciplined us? Then we should demonstrate an even greater respect for God, our Spiritual Father, as we submit to HIS life-giving discipline. 10 Our parents corrected us for the short time of our childhood as it seemed good to them. But God corrects us throughout our lives for our own good, giving us an invitation to share HIS Holiness.

11   Now all discipline seems to be more pain than pleasure at the time, yet later it will produce a transformation of character, bringing a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who yield to it.

Let us be of good courage and not allow the adversary to wear us down to the point where we are ready to give up.  All this reveals is that we are getting close to full maturity and the god of this world is worried and desperate.  Once you know what he is doing, simply laugh and say “Is this all you got?”

Is the fear of THE LORD operating in your life yet?  The following Psalm provides us a small sampling of FATHER’S Majesty.

King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalms chapter 29:

1   King David’s poetic praise to God for the last days The Feast of Tabernacles:

Proclaim His majesty, all you mighty champions, you Sons of Almighty God,

2   Be in awe before His majesty. Be in awe before such power and might! Come worship wonderful Yahweh, arrayed in all HIS splendor, bowing in worship as He appears in all his Holy beauty. Give Him the honor due His name. Worship Him wearing the glory-garments of your Holy, priestly calling!

3   The voice of the Lord echoes through the skies and seas. The Glory-God reigns as He thunders in the clouds. So powerful is His voice, so brilliant and bright, how majestic as He thunders over the great waters!

5    His tympanic thunder topples the strongest of trees. His symphonic sound splinters the mighty forests.

6    Now He moves Zion’s mountains by the might of His voice, shaking the snowy peaks with His earsplitting sound!

7   The lightning-fire flashes, striking as He speaks.

8   God reveals Himself when He makes the fault lines quake, shaking deserts, speaking His voice.

9    God’s mighty Voice makes the deer to give birth. His thunderbolt Voice lays the forest bare. In His temple all fall before Him with each one shouting, “Glory, glory, the God of glory!”

10    Above the furious flood, the Enthroned One reigns, the King-God rules with eternity at His side.

11   This is the One Who gives His strength and might to His people. This is the Lord giving us His kiss of peace.  TPT

FATHER does not joke around for every Word He speaks will come to pass.  As we mature, our relationship with FATHER changes our interaction with HIM.  Most immature believers address HIM as God.  Later, they began using the term Lord.

John wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelations chapter 4:

8   Each of the four living creatures had six wings, full of eyes all around and under their wings. They worshiped without ceasing, day and night, singing, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty! The Was, the Is, and the Coming!”

Those creatures who are not HIS Sons address HIM as LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for there is only ONE WHO qualifies for this Name!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 17:

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve Me faithfully and live a blameless life. 2 I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.”

3 At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him, 4 “This is My covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations! 5 What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations. 6 I will make you extremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them!

7 “I will confirm My covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 8 And I will give the entire land of Canaan, where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God.”

9 Then God said to Abraham, “Your responsibility is to obey the terms of the covenant. You and all your descendants have this continual responsibility. 10 This is the covenant that you and your descendants must keep: Each male among you must be circumcised. 

FATHER went on to provide details.  Our Covenant is superior since It is sealed with the Blood of Jesus Christ.  Our hearts are to be circumcised with Agape Love hence this is why I titled my first book “The Circumcised Heart of Love”.

GOD is Love and so are all HIS Sons and Daughters who have accepted the directive to walk in THEIR Image.  FATHER’S Divine Intent continuously points to the Covenant HE established with us to bless and prosper everything we set our hand to, whether it be thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.  We have a responsibility to be active rather than passive.  Jesus did not sit around in Jerusalem and wait for people to come to Him.  He went to the highways and byways to minister the Good News.  Let us follow His example and glorify Our Lord God Almighty.

A fully mature Son or Daughter will address HIM as FATHER!  This denotes the level of relationship we have matured into as we walk according to Agape Love.
