Son’s of God
Son’s of God
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
The revealing of the mature sons of God will not only have an effect on human, society but also on everything around you.
Christianity have deviated so much from grace and unconditional love to traditions, rules and doctrines, rather than uniting in what we have common we divided based on traditions, rules and doctrine.
There is no unity among brothers and sister let alone among denomination. We don’t have one church here is Melbourne that is not split or divided in one way or the others. which is very sad to see.
But I believe in midst of everything Father is bringing a great alignment, there is a transition, a reformation that is happening. Where people are going to see with greater clarity and deeper understanding of Father love for the body of Christ as a whole (without the boundary limitation of demominations and rules ) and common mission He has for the Church as a whole.
Whenever there is any kind of reformation, people in the front will always face persecution, whether it Was Martin Luther, John Calvin, take it all the way back to Paul, Jesus and all the people listed in Hebrew 11, they all went through hell on earth to break through the truth that God was revealing to them.
Imagine being the the shoes of these people who were standing for certain truth, that was so contrary to the wor;d they were living in.
And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated (men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground. And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.
These people paid the price for what they were beliving and declaring.
8 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
They were looking forward at the promise. I believe our generation.
If we want to move forward thne we need to focus on Jesus the Pattern son. Jesus is the pattern through who we were all cut.
For 6 months I worked in Chennai for my cousin who was clothing designer.
He would create a designer clothing and once the design was accepted and approved, He’ll create a pattern for that design and than cut all the fabric, I mean sometimes 50 to hundred layer of fabric in one go.
Every piece was the pattern of the orginal design.
So we all discovering us as we are after the pattern son.
Paul said in
For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;
8:29 He pre-designed and engineered us from the start to be jointly fashioned in the same mold and image of his Son according to the exact blueprint of his thought. We see the original and intended pattern of our lives preserved in his Son. He is the firstborn from the same womb that reveals our genesis. He confirms that we are the invention of God.
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
What John is saying is this, we discover us as we discover Him. The more clearly we see Him, more clearly we’ll see us.
Our Identity, the exact Identity is unvieled in Jesus. Do you want to know what Father thinks about you, look at the pattern. And thats what He sees and thinks about you.
“Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.
I am you are cut from the same Pattern, - realization of our union and awareness of who we have become allows Christ in me in full view.
The divine DNA we carry allos us do the same things that Jesus did.
So Joh is not mistaken when he said as Jesus is so we are in this world.
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.
So its not I am living for Jesus, rather I am living as Jesus in this world.
Paul said I been crucified with Jesus I no longer live but Christ lives in me
He confirming me and you to that image and He is doing this by His grace. Tat divie influence that creates that efortless change, as we rest in Him.
What we have experienced in the church or atleast I have experienced is this, church have created doctrines and tradition from the very foundation of lack and separation.
One thing you notice is the very basis of doing things are lack or separation. and Everything we did or do was to close the gap of separation or get something that we believed we are lacking something.
Sense of separation is God is out there and you are here. and we do everthing to bridge that spearation by our actions, belies, by confesstion and many other different ways.
But Jesus didn’t live that way. He did not thrive on lack or separation. He thrived on abundance, oneness and union with the Father.
Jesus prayed this famous prayer in
“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
There some fundamental truths Jesus’ life was anchored and we should get hold of these truths as well:
Jesus lived out of one source
Jesus lived out of one source
But we have created multipled source and live our lives that is our real source. We think out job is ta source, its and avenue through which Father can bless us but He is the source.
Everything Jesus had and experienced, He reconganised came from the Father.
Thats why Paul said in
one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
Paul is trying to reveal to us that there is one Father in us who creates or is the source.
Depending on how deeply this truth in engrained in us will reveal how much we look to the the Father as our source for everything in life.
Many times when things don’t work we build doctrines to explain why things not working and than build another doctrine to make things happen.
We are living in the two kingdoms but gradually moving with greater emphasis from eathly dimension to the Spiritual deimention. We are realising that the real power is not in the natural but in the spiritual.
There are three revelations that Jesus relyed on and we can rely on.
There are three revelations that Jesus relyed on and we can rely on.
Three things that drew people to Him.
We have to look at how Jesus rose above any insecurities and doibts in Life.
remember, Jesus was a flesh man, what I mean is He was 100% God but also 100% man.
And being 100% human he encountered everything that we encounter in life, insecurity, doubts, apprehension.
Father reminds us looks at the patterned son , how the pattern functioned.
What did Jesus bring into this life, we have now the same divine DNA in us.
It won’t be fair for Father to say that Jesus was the first born among the many brothern if He cheated His way through life, in other words He used is God part of his life to live victoriously. No He lived by relying on the Father.
We are learning that how Father equiped Jesus He is equiping us.
Jesus didn’t have the divine advantage over us.
Jesus limitlessness or unlimited life were on around these three truths:
Three truths
Three truths
“And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
You and me like Jesus must know that we are sent here with a divine assginement.
Tow key point the verse we just read is this:
Father sent Him
He as not left Him alone.
You need to know you have been perfectly designed to fullfill the mission and you will full fill it.
Before you and I were born Father a had a mission.
This is what Gid said to Jeremiah
Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.”
So here we see Fathers mission for Jeremiahto be the prophet to the nations
But when he was in the flesh just us all, he resisted it
Moses resisted as well when God called him.
Jeremiah said to the Lord, I don’t know how to speak.
Jeremiah was not seeing himself as God was seeing him, he was seeing himself naturally, he was viewing his identity through His flesh man. He said I am just a youth I don’t know how to speak. But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.”
He said something to Jeremiah that Jesus had full confidence in “ That the Father sent me and He is always with me”
This is for us as well, before you were born Father knew you and have a purpose for your life.
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
Here we see Father sent Jesus and Jesus fullfilled his mission.
You and me also will fullfill our mission and we’ll see how this will be fullfilled.
He not only sent you but also walked with you from the day one of your life.
He been and always will be there with you, even in your darkes hour of your life. In midst of you biggest mistakes and blunder you committed He was there.
Even though He never leave us we are always looking for confirmation that God is with us. We look for sign that we are doing the right thing and going the the right direction. I have done all these things.
But Jesus never looked for confirmation He just knew.
The Spirit of God resides in us.
We look for God confirmation because we don’t trut=st God’s ability to not only have a plan but Hiss ability to execute His plan through us.
David recoganised it
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.
David is saying what Jeremiah recited.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them
Do you think in God’s omni science He didn’t know you will make wrong decision or take a wrong turn and make a bad decision, that some of your choices won’t be good for you. He always knew
Inspite of all that happened in Davids life “ He knew Father sent him and he will be with him and never leave him”.
This truth needs to be deeply rooted in you. You are in a mission that Father ordained and sent you for and have taken responsibility for you. and He is never going to leave you, no matter what you are going through you.
Jesus knew He ws complete in the Father, he was always comeplete in Him.
Paul wanted us to get this truth as well so he wrote in:
Colossians 2:9–10 (NASB95)
For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;
You are just like the pattern you are complete in Him.
Remember this : write it down if you can.
“You don’t grow in completeness”. You will never be more complete than what you are right now.
What you grow in is your awareness of your completeness.
You are always 100% complete.
Jesus knew that Father was with Him, and He will never abandon Him and that He had a perfect union with Him.
Jesus wanted us to know this truth as well:
John 14:20 (NASB95)
“In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
Separation is lie. our carnal mind thinks we are separated and I can bridge that gap and earn my place.
so separation is an issue of the mind.
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,
We were alienated and hostile in our minds.
Jesus never questioned his orgin so you and me shouldn’t question ours.
Jesus never questioned whether Father was with Him. Don’t you question that.
Father was pleased with Him.
Remember He is not pleased with you based one what you do.
Imagine Hossana just woke up and we look at her I am not please because based your performance so far only thing you have done cry, eat, smile ( even smile we not sure whether its real whether is actual smile or just the wind) and poop and repeat. you don’t love any of our kids based on what they do, there is something that can never change for love for them.
Yes we want our kids to make right decisions and good choices in life for their on sake but our love is not based on whether they tick all the boxes doing everything right and perform well.
Father declared at the Jesus’ baptism this is my beloved us in whom I am well pleased.
At this point Jesus did no miracles, nothing to extend the kingdom, he was growing in wisdom, favor and stature.
So when father said He ws pleased is not based on His performance.
All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
We had all missed the mark ( that’s what sin means)
Bible tells us that He justfied us all freely.
In other words He says I now you missed the mark but that has nothing to do with me being pleased with you.
Lot of our rebellion and contradiction in our lives come beacuse we think Father has abandone us. We think Father doesn’t care for us, this whole thing is not real.
When we face circumstances and painful situations and think God didn’t stop these things, we get disappointed , upset nd loose heart and giveup.
But God never leaves us irrespetive of how you feel. Even at your darkest hour He is with you. You cannot escape His love.
What pleases the Father
What pleases the Father
How father sees from His eyes what pleases Him.
we think if I read the bible more
If I pray a lot
If I try to do good
than Father will be pleased.
Father is please when you choose to believe in His son and all He has accomplished through His son for you.
Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
When you choose not to condemn yourself that pleases the Father. Because condemnation says my life is worthy of Judgement. But Scripture says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.
Father is pleased when we donot allow guilt to rule our lives and try to prove how valuable you anre your worth by doing spiritual acitvities.Because guilt says I am not forgiven.
Father is pleased when refuse live in Shame because shame says this is who I am still.
These are anti gospel. this is biggest lies that devils uses to trap people.
So when you and me agree with what He has done for us and live from thet place of awareness that pleases the Father.
Wake-up
Wake-up
You are suppose to wakeup and believe :
Believe that He loves you
Believe that He foragev you
Believe that He lives in you
Believe that He’ll never leave you not forsake you.
Believe that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
You start the off your day in righteousness.
He is not saying do better, try harder and clean up your act.
He says Good tree cannot bear bad fruit.
As your believe right you will live right, because grace empowers you and brings effortless change in us.
You have know and belive accepted you are accepted to live accepted.
You have to know and believe you are a son to live like a son
you have to know you are righteous to live like one.
“YOU HAVE TO BE FIRST”
Now who does the work
Now who does the work
Jesus said this in john
“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.
Jesus said Father that abides in me does the work.
Jesus is saying to us that everything in the right timing will flow through me to you.
We just have to get into His timing.
for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
He puts the willin you and gives you the ability to do it.
That’s the timing you and me have to wait on.
Jesus said I do only what I see my Father do.
When Father wants to do soemthing you’ll know it and you really have to ignore and really fight against it.
When Father speaks to you, you are going to know.
Paul says this is Galatians
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
Why didn’t God send His son at Abrahams time, it was not the time
Why didn’t He come before the flood because it was not the time
Why didn’t he come duing the time of Jeremiah and Isaiah, it was not the time.
There is a fullness of time for everything He does.
There is a fullness a time for you and that’s why you are here.
When you sense that Father is doing something in your Spirit come in agreement with it and Let the Father do it.
This what sonship is about.
Simply put - hear and obey.
If you are not hearing than there is nothing to Obey.
He knows how to communicate with you.
He wired you , He predestined you for a prupose hea has for you.
Jesus had this confidence that it was the Father who did the work.
“Father in me doeth the work”
When Father is doing the work it takes all the pressure off me to perform.
Until our eyes are open to our union with Him and the teaching will be a knowlege we carry but will be of no value.
we’ll never experience the ullness until we see us as He sees us.
So remember this:
Jesus knew Father sent Him - you should know Father sent you.
Jesus knew Father was always with Him - You should know He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Jesus knew Father did the work through Him - You should know father will accomplish all He has purpose through your life.
Amen.
Pray.
