The Relationship of the Father and Sons

Understanding Sonship Today’s Focus: The Relationship of the Father and Sons Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-5; Haggai 2:6-9; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Greetings Kingdom Citizens In our previous message we left off with the great proclamation and the result of everything put under Jesus feet and Jesus handing the Kingdom back to the Father so that “God may be ALL IN ALL”. We also discussed that no longer will there be specific gifts for specific people but the full weight and glory of God be in all. Who is all? All are the sons of God. Now remember the current day Beth-el on Earth are the believers and sons of God. Beth means house and El means Elohim or God, so we are the House of God! Let’s look at another scripture. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20! Now in this scripture is referring to treating your body with respect and fleeing fornication. In addition, God is saying that your body is a temple (house) of the Holy Spirit. Now of course we know that this body will die because of sin and corruption and we will be raised in another that is immortal and incorruptible. None the less in this present day age we as the church and sons of God, are the Beth-el on Earth. Now, let’s look at 1 Peter 2:4-5 for some revelation to the summation of Jesus handing all that is the Kingdom over to the Father. “Ye (you) also, as lively stones (living), are built up a spiritual house (House of God), an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” In other words, you, the sons of God, will make up the House of God (living stones). And in this house of living stones, God will abide in His full glory and weight (All in All). This house will be the final and finished product and revelation of what God always wanted. Now all of this is seen in the new testament but remember God always has a truth wrapped in a veil in the Old testament and this mystery is no different, Haggai 2:6-9: Starting at Haggai 2:6 we see that the Lord Jesus (the word “I”) will shake the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land. Why because everything that is not anchored down to God and His Kingdom will be done away with. Now verse 7, and I will shake all nations. In other words every nation not anchored to the Kingdom of God will be shaken and destroyed, that is including people. Now the good part: “and the desire of all nations shall come”. This is referring to Jesus. Let’s keep going: “I (God) will fill this house (Sons of God) with glory, said the Lord of hosts. Verse 8 states that all is the Lords and now verse 9: “The glory of this latter house (House of God) shall be greater than if the former, saith the Lord of hosts and in this place (Sons of God) will I (God) give peace (the result of His rule), saith the Lord of Hosts.” The House of God is what will remain after all is said and done. This house is made up of the Sons of God and they are the stones that make up the house. God will dwell in these stones forever and ever with full glory and power in all.
