I’m About My Fathers Business
I’m About My Fathers Business
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
34 “I speak eternal truth,” Jesus said. “When you sin you are not free. You’ve become a slave in bondage to your sin.
35 And slaves have no permanent standing in a family, like a son does, for a son is a part of the family forever.
36 So if the Son sets you free from sin, then become a true son and be unquestionably free!
37 Even though you are descendants of Abraham, you desire to kill me because the message I bring has not found a home in your hearts.
38 Yet the truths I speak I’ve seen and received in my Father’s presence. But you are doing what you’ve learned from your father!”
39 “What do you mean?” they replied. “Abraham is our father!” Jesus said, “If you are really Abraham’s sons, then you would follow in the steps of Abraham.
40 I’ve only told you the truth that I’ve heard in my Father’s presence, but now you are wanting me dead—is that how Abraham acted?
41 No, you people are doing what your father has taught you!” Indignant, they responded, “What are you talking about? We only have one Father, God himself! We’re not illegitimate!”
42 Jesus said, “Then if God were really your father, you would love me, for I’ve come from his presence. I didn’t come here on my own, but God sent me to you.
43 Why don’t you understand what I say? You don’t understand because your hearts are closed to my message!
44 “You are the offspring of your father, the devil, and you serve your father very well, passionately carrying out his desires. He’s been a murderer right from the start! He never stood with the One who is the true Prince, for he’s full of nothing but lies—lying is his native tongue. He is a master of deception and the father of lies!
45 But I am the true Prince who speaks nothing but the truth, yet you refuse to believe and you want nothing to do with me.
46 Can you name one sin that I’ve committed? Then if I am telling you only the truth, why don’t you believe me?
47 If you really knew God, you would listen, receive, and respond with faith to his words. But since you don’t listen and respond to what he says, it proves you don’t belong to him and you have no room for him in your hearts.”
How Long Did It take you to figure Out you have two voices your listening to in your head?
It can take me 3 years to convince someone that God is there DADDY and they should no longer take suggestions, directions or cues from there LF.
44 “You are the offspring of your father, the devil, and you serve your father very well, passionately carrying out his desires. He’s been a murderer right from the start! He never stood with the One who is the true Prince, for he’s full of nothing but lies—lying is his native tongue. He is a master of deception and the father of lies!
Luciferian Father
It’s all about either taking the blue pill or the Red?
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
The text shows us How well Jesus knew his father @ 13 years old, what the family Business is and he wasn’t afraid to offend concerning it.
The other text show’s that Jesus know’s who our adopted daddy is..
The problem with some of us is we don’t know the difference between the two or we have gotten so accustom to listening to the devil we won’t except what Abba Father is saying.
The term "father" refers to a man who is the biological father of a child, regardless of his involvement in the child's life. On the other hand, a "dad" is a man who has taken on the role of being a parent to a child, whether or not he is the child's biological father
While the dictionary gives almost the same meaning to both terms, in different contexts they can mean different things. A father is the progenitor who shares DNA with the child, while a dad is someone who actively participates in the child's growth and development, giving love and affection
See what i need you to get out this message is you can tell who has authority over you by the way you think, the way you move and the way you deal with your sinful nature.

2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Point #1 Satan tempts not God
13 When you are tempted don’t ever say, “God is tempting me,” for God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he is never the source of temptation.
14 Instead it is each person’s own desires and thoughts that drag them into evil and lure them away into darkness.
15 Evil desires give birth to evil actions. And when sin is fully mature it can murder you!
Point #2 Satan try’s to bring harm and destruction and then blame God for allowing it to happen.
6 and said to him, “If you’re really God’s Son, jump, and the angels will catch you. For it is written in the Scriptures: He will command his angels to protect you and they will lift you up so that you won’t even bruise your foot on a rock.”
Point #3 Satan will attempt to seduce you through elevation
8 And the third time the accuser lifted Jesus up into a very high mountain range and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all the splendor that goes with it.
9 “All of these kingdoms I will give to you,” the accuser said, “if only you will kneel down before me and worship me.”
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
The Three Warning Signs of being about LF business
The Three Warning Signs of being about LF business
Yielding to temptation
Agreeing with the accuser of the brethren
Yielding to the seduction
Jesus response to the three attempts to lure him
1. It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
2. It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
3. Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
All three test Jesus responds the same, but we will march around spitting, crying & rebuking. And Jesus defeated him with Gods word…
