” You have had ten thousand instructors, but not many Fathers”—— Apostle Paul
What does this statement mean to you?
My hearts desire in this letter for the Church in 2014 is to bring Divine Truth in Love. My heart above all things wants to see the home and the Church restored back to the place of Dominion they were designed to be. So what has happened? Why are our families, communities, churches and country struggling? Where are the Fathers? Would we recognize one if we seen them? Do we know what to look for? Do we know how a father operates? Do we truly know the heart of a Father?
Why is it Jesus called God Father over all the names He could have chosen to address God?
Could it be the Kingdom Christ came to Restore on the earth a Kingdom operated after the order of Fathers and Sons? ( Family ) Could it be the heart of God is family and it is the only government He recognizes? Now the word government means the control or flow of power, meaning the Divine flow and power of God comes through the Family.
Can we have Family without a Father?
Can we have Family without Sons?
Understanding a Son has nothing to do with what we see in the flesh, that son-ship is not based on male or female but on heart.(Spirit) How can a female be considered a Son? The same way a male can be considered the Bride of Christ, it is Spirit.
Can we have Sons without Fathers? Walk with for a moment through History, where our country has been, where it is now and where we are heading. What is missing today? Could it be Fathers? Are we missing Fathers in our government, our churches, our homes? If we are, where do we start? Where did we fail? Where did we first begin removing Fathers? Why is it during the early years of our great country we prospered as a people, now we are in bondage—- spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially. Think about how we began, how the United States was birthed. The United States exists and became a Nation only because we had Fathers establish homes, that established Churches, that established communities who became states. William Penn established a home that grew into a community, later to be named the State of Pennsylvania. Our very first president who was asked to be the King denied the position of King because at the core of his being he was a father operating with the heart of a father to a nation.Why? Did he wake up one day and say, ” Hey Im a Father?” No! He was first a son who was taught, trained, loved and corrected by a father with the heart of our heavenly father. You might ask, ” Why doesn’t God just teach us without Fathers?” The truth is God always has and always will operate on the earth through man. Every blessing you have ever recieved has come by God through a person. Think about it even our restoration back into the Kingdom came through the man Jesus Christ. Now was it Jesus the man who saved us? No, it was Christ in the man Jesus who brought us back into right alignment with the Father.( the firstborn among many brethren.)
Hebrews 3:1-5
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we,
Notice every house is built by some man, but he who builds ALL things is God. Yes it is God who does the building through man and true Fathers recognize Gods calling to build a house for Gods Family. Jesus said ” In my Fathers House (who we are) are many mansions. ( many relationships that make up individual houses.) We should be excited and rejoicing that the God of all things has chosen us to build the houses through the calling of fathers. God sent his one Son to be a Father to raise more sons that were commissioned to go be fathers and produce more sons ( this was and is Gods order of operation in building His Kingdom.)
Now I must pause for a moment and say, I know this does not set right with some people today. Why? The truth is a lot of us have been hurt, abandoned, abused, controlled or neglected by a father. Let me encourage you today, True Fathers are still on the earth who carry the heart of our heavenly Father. So how do I recognize a Father? I recognize a Father through his voice. There is a word, a sound, a tone, a heart in his voice that penetrates my heart. When this happens it is my spirit bearing witness with the Spirit in him ( which is Christ ) that I know I can trust their divine leadership. I allow them at this point the freedom to be a voice in my life to lead me into truth.( we call this recognizing the Voice in the voice For there is only One Voice and we must recognize that Voice in the voices of others.) This is why when Christ asked the disciples to lay down their agenda (net) and follow Him, they responded.(they recognized the Voice in the voice) We must all come to the place we are no longer manipulated by the instruction of voices and be inspired by the One true Voice in a voice. (Father) A true Father will lead you to new levels of growth and maturity through compassion, love, truth and yes at times correction. To walk as true sons we must learn, trust, love and receive so one day we can Father others. We must no longer be controlled by fear ” for you have not been given the Spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. ” We must walk with great discernment to know when someone is trying to manipulate us, control us or hurt us. There should be a witness saying, yes this is my spiritual guide on the earth who leads me to my heavenly Father. Even Jesus followed a natural Father (a voice ) until the time appointed of the Father. Why? Christ was sent to not only restore us into the Kingdom, but also to restore the Kingdom in us. He was a walking example of how to become the Sons of God.( a child is born, a Son is given.)
Isaiah 9:6-7
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Galatians 4:1,2
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
{ notice the child in Galatians is released as a Son through a father little f }
God is giving us the responsibility to raise sons on the earth by His Spirit.
So, what do we do? Where do we go from here?
How do we put Fathers back into the Presidency, Congress, Communities etc.?
We must first establish Fathers back into our Homes. ( true voices speaking by the Spirit. )
” Without a Vision ( a prophetic voice ) the people perish. “
When we restore Fathers in the Church we will see Fathers in our Homes- When we see Fathers in our Homes- We will see Fathers in our Communities- When we see Fathers in our Communities- We will see Fathers leading our States.( Just like it was when we began ) God is and always has been raising up fathers in the church to lead individuals to lead homes to lead communities. The question is Will we receive them? Or will we continue calling for instructors to give us information with no example, accountability or heart? I promise you this, if you find a true Father, they will love you, teach you, train you and correct you; in the end you will be strong, wise, courageous and fulfilled. You will walk life once again as a whole person– knowing your identity, your purpose and how to live it out. They will free you from Egypt, lead you through the wilderness and crossover to the land of promise. You ask ” How do you know?” I was personally hurt by a father, loved by a father, trained by a father and corrected by a father. You say ” well i was hurt and I will never let that happen again!” Let me ask you this– Did you stop searching for your wife or husband just because former relationships didnt work? No. You continued on and found your love. So it is with the one who is to be a voice in your life. You trust again, you love again, you open back up and give it another try. The end result for me after being loved, trained, corrected and prepared for 38 yrs is wholeness, completeness, confidence, strength and the knowing of my heavenly Fathers Voice. I now Know who I am (identity)- I know what I am called to do ( my purpose) and I know how to do it. As a Father I encourage you—- Find your Fathers House- sit at the table, learn, grow and become all God has called you to be. I thank My God for the Fathers who walk with us to be the Sons of God on the Earth. All Glory be to HIM!!!
Blessings:
From One Father to You.
