ABBA/Son Relationship
Part 16
7“I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
8Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance,
and the ends of the earth for Your possession.
Psalm 2.
The LORD said to Jesus, and now says to you. If you have read this whole series, you know what it is to Come, Encounter Father GOD as ABBA, and to become Born Again Child of GOD becoming a son! Now, ABBA says to you as a son, I have an amazing inheritance for you. Come, be a My son, let me kiss you, restore your Home with Me, and come with Me in the Nations! Jesus even commands us to GO! That is, Go with HIM into the Nations, as a son with ABBA, bringing many sons to Glory, engaging many to KNOW ABBA as their Good, Good Father. Lift up your eyes, see the orphans of the world abused, broken and fatherless.
ABBA says, “ASK ME!”
“ASK ME-WHAT?” you say:
11Thus says the Lord, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I—My hands—stretched out the heavens, and all their host I have commanded’” Isaiah 45
GOD loves you, and is concerned for you! He gave you a father! Where is he?
GOD loves the world! He gave us to be in father/son relationships!
What kind of relationship are you in with your father? Your brothers? Your sons?
GOD is concerned! He desires us to be concerned as men-as fathers-to be concerned for our sons; His sons! Where are my sons? What are they doing? Why? Who cares for them?
ASK GOD! Everyone is concerned for themselves and their own things! Self-ambition? Self-seeking? Self-centered? Where is your Priority with GOD? With Fathering? With sons?
ASK GOD! GOD commands us to ASK! He desires to reveal His Heart for the souls of men! There are many leaders, all seeking to build their own work, their own dream, and not the dream of their sons! There are few fathers who care to know what their sons are dreaming and help them reach their potential for their individual lives and future.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the most unique man and leader in history, says:
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. John 14.
Jesus said, He would not leave us as orphans-abandoned, alone, left to find our own way as fatherless children on the streets!
Jesus said, He would give us His Holy Spirit, to come into ABBA/son relationship with GOD to love and be loved, and do Greater Things than JESUS DID! What? True! Do you believe??
What does this mean? Encounter Jesus Christ! Engage Him! Engage ABBA-Father in Heaven! What is it to be Fathered as sons of GOD! Jesus demonstrates it by His Life!
Read the Gospels! Matthew, Mark, Luke, John! Life of Christ in the Holy Spirit, doing all His Father showed and told Him…. SEE! HEAR! JOIN! Like Jesus….
JESUS PROMISED: GREATER THINGS!
IF we walk with GOD, we will do the works of GOD!
IF we believe GOD, and not doubt Him like Adam did, we can engage ABBA in the cool of the day, every day of our lives, and inquire-ASK HIM, and He will make manifest the desires of His Heart for us.
ASK ABBA:
- LORD: What do you say about me? Listen!
- LORD: What do you say about my life? Listen!
Take or make TIME: Wait on the LORD! Read; Memorize Scripture; Meditate by filling your heart and mind with His Promises and ASK; Jesus did!
Today, He still demonstrates to us how it is to be in a living relationship with the Living GOD in ABBA/Son relationship!
There is MORE!
15 Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, 16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.” Luke 3.
46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” Luke 24.
The Holy Spirit Promised
JESUS….4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1.
Peter tells us how to engage ABBA: 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Acts 2.
The Gospels-Good News:
Matthew-Mark-Luke-John, reveal the life and work of Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit power; with all the communion with the ABBA. Jesus shows 12 disciples, what it looks like to be in relationship with ABBA, doing His Will! Not our own-like Adam and his sons!
Acts is the story of men who followed Jesus, engaged the Holy Spirit, like Jesus did. The Disciples did the works of ABBA, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus, like Jesus. The disciples of Jesus Christ did all the signs, wonders and miracles like Jesus did. Now, He commands us to do the same with Him, too! To us who are far off: 2000 years later.
The Bible is full of stories of men walking with GOD! Only Jesus demonstrates the Perfect FATHER/Son Relationship that the LORD desires with each of us today. Come, encounter Him! Walk engaged with Him! AS you read the Bible-The Gospels and Acts, you will thrive as you see, hear, join ABBA in His Work. And tell your story….
Engage in ABBA/Son relationship!
ABBA gives us each a new name:
“My Beloved Son!”
