Restoring Spirit of
Father to the Church
Today’s Focus:
Obedience of the Sons of God
Scripture: Romans
5:19
Greetings Sons of
God:
God has called the
sons of God to absolute obedience. You
can never represent the Father without obedience. Faith should take us to obedience. Let me explain: Faith gives you the
opportunity to choose. You can choose to
live by your soul or live by the spirit.
The objective that God is trying to achieve in is to shut the eye of the
soul, which was opened in the Garden, and learn to move beyond faith to
absolute obedience. The eye of the
spirit is a single eye and the spirit will simply obey without question or
rational.
Jesus
never operated on the platform of faith but from a position of absolute
obedience.
Jesus learned the excellence over His soul
and in the Garden of Gethsemane we see an example of how. Jesus said and I am paraphrasing “My SOUL is
sorrowful unto death, the FLESH is weak but the SPIRIT is willing” and then he would
say, “Not my will but thou (Father’s) will.
Because He understood who He was and how important it was for him to
obey the voice of the Father, we have the opportunity to be reconciled back to
the Father, His House and His Kingdom.
Jesus showed us that we as sons must move from faith to obedience. I am not discounting faith because faith
brings us to Christ but it is obedience to the voice of Christ that allows us
to walk in Christ and handle the Kingdom.
Let me show you these Scriptures:
Romans 5:19: For as by one man’s disobedience
many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous
Because of the obedience of the Son of God,
Jesus Christ we are able to be reconciled back to the Father so just like the
patent Son, Jesus we are to come that extreme obedience and that happens when
we submit our soul to the rule of the spirit.
Know this God never intended for us to know darkness, only the
light. This is why God forbid Adam and
Eve to eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil because we are
children of light and we were not designed to see darkness. However, we chose darkness through
disobedience and faith in Jesus Christ gives us the choice to choose light and
knowledge of Christ and the Father but we must make the choice and if we have
faith then we should choose the voice of the Father over the voice of the soul.
In the next message we will look at a
particular situation in Scripture and how the Spirit of Father is administered
in the church and the consequence of the absence of that Spirit.
Peace, Love and
Grace,
