The Everlasting Father
Today’s Focus: Summary
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
The use of the term spiritual father has been tarnished by the Catholic church and by lascivious leaders who use it to commit sexually perverse acts with children. Does it mean that the spiritual father is wrong? Absolutely not. Remember the devil runs his deception parallel with the truth. The use of the term spiritual father, son, and Holy Spirit are all associated with the culture of the Son. But we must return to the model that produces mature sons of God. This is what God always wanted.
Our Lord, Jesus Christ was given 12 disciples to mature them by showing them the Father, in words and deeds. He taught them how to hear the voice of the Father for themselves. Jesus began to build the Holy Nation with the 12 the father gave Him, just like the Jacob had 12 sons which made of the nation of Israel. This concept and principal of spiritual families in households is the basic model by which Holy Spirit will ensure accountability to maturity. In this model sin is easily identified and corrected. Perfect example of this is Ananias and Sapphire and Peter, their spiritual father. We know they withheld and lied to God about what they had and died on the spot. It was Peter that they presented their things to and through Peter, Holy Spirit showed their true intentions and heart.
It will take the Holy Nation to put on display the culture of Heaven. This nation, just like Israel, consists of spiritual families built up to households being built into clans, then tribes. God is building His House in the Earth. We can either be with Him and His grace by repenting and seeking His rulership over our lives or we continue in the religious circle that profits no one but the leader, leaving you immature and unfulfilled.
Jesus being the Everlasting Father is all about bringing the sons to maturity by re-presenting the ways and nature of the Father. Now that the Lord has ascended back to the Father, He left mature men to be spiritual fathers and continue the pattern of discipleship and maturity for the Body of Christ to prepare the Body for the return of the Lord. This pattern of discipleship is graced through the doma gifts (five-fold ministry) and through their proper administration through the fathers, the sons are matured.
This grace is available to you now. The longer you stay in that religious circle, the harder it will be to break free and come into the revelation of the House of God. It is my desire that you seek the Lord while He may be found and allow Him to reveal His House to you.
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
