What is it that holds or render people to be stuck in their fleshly identity? We live in a world that is more concerned about the ‘self-gratification’. The general population focus their attention on the gratification of the flesh above all. Relationships break, marriages break, children are abused and sometimes being cared for by strangers because the parents priorities their needs above all else. Lets talk about it.
The issue of Learning to be loved seems to be neither sought nor emphasized. So many focus on the command “love others as I have love you” ! I’ve heard countless preachers and others say, “I’m commanded by the Lord toLove you!” Think about that for a minute and look at those words closely. There is so much self-effort, work and subjective definitions associated in trying to “Love” others as a command. Just exactly how much can we really Love someone or others, especially when this is based on our own personal interpretation and knowledge of what this Love is to each of us? Hmm, this again sounds very subjective. VERY subjective – making learning to love others a struggle for so many! The struggle of learning to love others is much deeper than just a command given by Jesus to His disciples, who could not have obeyed Him if they knew what He meant and even wanted or tried to obey! This idea of “Loving others” is very important, but it is not the key factor of “Love.” The essential question is: have you “Learned to be Loved?” Let’s talk about…
According to the Oxford Dictionary, identity is the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. Think about that, the fact of ‘being’. Being is defined as the nature or essence of a person. Therefore, identity is the nature or essence of who a person is. I want to discuss the two things Satan does not want you to know, and both have to do with denying human beings from finding their true spiritual essence – their true, predestined spiritual identity. Join me on Sunday and let’s talk about it.
Our Father is the true source of all light and illuminating purity in His Spiritual Sons. Even our Father dwells in unapproachable light and purity.
The Father sends the Holy Spirit along with Himself to open up and reveal His light and purity to us and in us within our Spiritual
Son Identity in Oneness with Him.
Let’s look at some things for spontaneous living and walking in light and purity in our Spiritual Son identity.
Love and Eternity are immeasurable. There is no “pathway” to Love; one must enter this Eternal realm through “The Door”. In John 10: 9 (AMP) Jesus says, I Am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved (and will live forever), and will go in and out (freely), and find pasture (spiritual security).
Who do you say that I am?
When Father presented this question to me, I immediately went to Matthew chapter 16 where Jesus is having a conversation with His disciples.
Matt 16:13-17
13. When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?
14. So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets”
15. He said to them, but who do you say that I am?
16. Simon Peter answered and said “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”
17. Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven”.
I heard Father say yes, this was the question My Son Jesus asked Peter concerning Himself.
But my question to you was “Who do ‘YOU’ say that I Am”?
I laid in my bed many nights, asking Father for sleep, because the thought of this question would not allow me to find rest within my soul.
Because of the Love that Father is, and His love for me, I am on this on-going path of Sonship, and have entered into His Eternal Love and Rest.
The emphasis of learning to love others appears to be the one thing many seek to achieve. As though loving others can be achieved as a WIN in their minds! If you can step back for a minute and look closely, you’ll find there’s a lot of “self-effort” and “works” associated in trying to “love” others. Just exactly how much can we love someone or others, by our own knowledge of what love means to each of us? It’s subjective. Very subjective! That makes learning to love others a big struggle and can be very difficult for many people! There are several roadblocks which create this struggle of learning to love others. And, more importantly an even greater and deeper struggle then learning to love others is in “learning to be loved”! So, let’s talk about it…
Hi my name is Mark, and I was asked to share how Father has been Revealing Himself to me in the Spirit. How through Jesus’ dying on the cross we have been Birthed into God becoming our Father. And, how in Spirit we are Perfect to Him. This is some of the story that has led me to a greater understanding of our Father. And seeing myself through His Eyes!
The marriage between evangelism and politics has produced a polarized family of cognitive dissonance children. A world divided, with a society of people inconsistent in their thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. And within this society we have a plethora of “Denominations in Christianity”.
Why are there so many denominations in Christianity? They all claim to believe in One God, Jesus, and the Bible. But why are they so divided on their doctrines and teachings?
As we conclude our series on Philippians, we’re going to take a deeper look into this question.
As I have read Philippians chapter four over the last days and weeks, one thought continually comes to mind – intimacy with God, the Father. To use the phrase spiritual intimacy dares to make it too abstract and not personal enough. Our intimacy with God does not exist in thought or idea, but it is concrete in existence. Our experience of God’s closeness is not a description of his actual proximity to us but of our experience of intimacy with him. Scripture shows us that God is intimate with those who trust him. The more we trust God, the more intimately we come to know him. Likewise, the more intimate we are with God, the more we trust Him. Intimacy is simply what we call the experience of really knowing and being
