Being a Child of God vs Being a apart of the Creation of God
Every person is a part of God’s creation
However, everyone is not a child of God, those who are God’s children are his before the world began.
Our confession that Jesus is the Christ (Knowing Jesus) through a commitment to God through our relationship with Jesus Christ reveals that we are his, and that we belong to the Father and are his children.
All of Jesus power and glory came from the Father.
James 1:16-18
Jesus in his prayer is sharing (what he received from the father) his calling, anointing and power with us.
God took the disciples out of the World
So, he also takes us Colossians 1:13
This was done in the mind of God before the foundation of the world
Eph 1:4
Our relationship with God through Christ produces a Knowing
· A knowing that we belong to God as Christ belonged to God
· A knowing that God loves us as he loved Christ
· A knowing that we are the children of God
· A knowing that God is protecting us spiritually from the power of the Evil one Satan
o Rom 8:34
o Heb 7:25
o Rom 8:26-27
o Eph 1:13-14
This was the Power of Christ’s Prayer for the Disciples
This is the Power of Christ’s Prayer for Us Who Believe
Vs.9
Christ’s focus of his spiritual deliverance is for those whom God have given Christ out of the World, not fixing the problems of the World.
Jesus Prayer was for you to know
Who you are
Who’s you are
The power you possess through your relationship with him
