“Coming Home!”
Manning up! God thought of us before we were born. He knit us together in our mothers’ womb. Then God speaks, calling us to greater things than this earthly life can conceive. He called us to heavenly, eternal and greater things in value.
- Becoming the Man GOD designed you to be!
Psalm 139 makes it plain God thought of us far before we were conceived and born. He knew our thoughts and ways, and even our ultimate decisions we would make. But He gave us those choices! God created man with free will. He did not make Man and make him in such a way so as to have no choice! We are not forced or set in a inevitable-predestined path to heaven or hell. Rather, having been given choices, and with what we would be exposed, God knows what we will ultimately chose: good or evil.
God has designed us so amazingly enough. Eyes that see! Ears that hear! A heart and mind that think and feel-uniquely differently, or in harmony! Our body is uniquely KNIT together. The spirit, soul, mind and body, each part, is woven together so as to work in harmony together, keeping us in peace. When these are in chaos, it is due to sins effect, attacking our conscious, mind, emotions, will, all seeming to merge into chaos; Something is wrong!
The Key: The Creator!
When we meet our Designer-Creator and understand His will, for our unique lives, we move as free as an eagle. Flying effortlessly in motion. When we are contrary to His will, design, Word, our emotions move into chaos, whereby we must choose: repent and return to God’s Design for righteousness and peace, or resist and make our self-righteous way having its own outcomes, of our making.
When Adam and Eve went contrary to God’s clear instructions, they found themselves in chaos, feeling naked, shame, and fear. They began to face the looming separation dividing themselves against each other, now, even against God! They began blaming each other and the devil, and ultimately God: “The woman You gave me!” It’s all God’s fault!
Nothing has changed! But it is not God’s fault! It continues to be man’s willful choices in defiance of God! In reality, it is the broken relationship of sons from their fathers! Adam who was originally created in the Image of God, to be as a son, but later, after they fell into sin, chaos. Now the sons born to Adam and Eve, were in the likeness of the broken image. Their children were born broken. That is why parents need to train their children to do right! It is natural for children to do wrong! The premise that children have to learn to sin, is not true. Every parent knows that absolutely. Teaching the child “no” to doing wrong things that would hurt themselves, exposes the parent to the child’s-will. Children have to be taught to do the right things! Strange, today people ask what is right? We have abandoned God’s will for our own, and have become blind! What does God say:
16Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, “He did not make me”? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? Isaiah 29.
So, man today, speaks of God in these kinds of terms! As though God is wrong; Non-active and distant; IF He exist: The ultimate contempt! Broken men, talk about God as though He is powerless to respond.
Time to man up! Face our broken self-righteous ways, and turn in our brokenness to our Creator and ASK HIM to re-create us after His True Image…
- Becoming the Man GOD created and called you to be!
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1.
14 And the Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’”
16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
These are most powerful words introducing JESUS! The Truth of God is standing in front of men, full of grace and truth! He came declaring to men, the FATHER! Who and what ABBA-Father is like, is standing there in flesh and blood. The Son of God; Sinless; Perfect; Pilot said at His crucifixion, “I find no fault in Him!” The Perfect Lamb of God-The sacrifice for all sin, for all time!
Jesus stands; an offense to sinful men! God working so as to offend the religious, to expose their true hearts of all men, that all might repent! Men, offended at God? True? Every malignant offense and accusation against God, erupts out of the heart cursed by sin and bound in darkness, needing Light. Willful defiance against the Creator! Abuse; false accusation; fierce hatred; rebellion, all described in Romans 1, is the result of not giving God His Glory!
What Love for all men perishing in sin! Father God says: “Whosoever will; Come!”
Whosoever, will come, Jesus stands ready to come into their lives and clean house, heal the broken soul, impart the Holy Spirit of Life, for Eternal Life. GOD opens Heaven-His Kingdom in our hearts, and His Glory shines in, and freedom reigns! Not freedom to sin, but freedom FROM sin! Freedom to Live in Righteous Harmony IN GOD! Praise The LORD!
Romans 6 & 8.
It is in the Realm of the LORD reigning in our lives, that we see many amazing things: signs, wonders and miracles. These things all bring home with power, the reality of His Presence, Governance, Authority given to us as His Sons/Daughters. People say they have not seen these things before, so don’t believe they are for today. Yet, God is doing them every day. I, myself have witnessed countless miracles: healings, deliverances, people repenting and giving their Hearts to Christ and seeing them transformed over minutes, days, weeks, years, and seeing their lives change from empty to full… Matthew 5. Including my own.
Kingdom of God, Come! Individuals and homes, families, communities have been transformed by the worst drunk and most violent man changed! Changed and empowered to be the opposite of what they were, not by will power, but power of God.
6 …‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4
Often we as men, hide behind closed walls of religion and cement walls, harboring fear, guilt, shame due to disobedience, neglect, wounds of all kinds, keeping us from acting and going! No more making excuses or blaming! Every truly Born-Again believer contains the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to change lives of the one next to them. Don’t remain silent. Get up, go find someone to pray for, and pray for them.
ASK ME!
What would I do, if I acted and shared JESUS and prayed-Holy Spirit come-Open these eyes, ears, hearts sitting here with me: To See, Hear, Join ABBA as sons, and followed. John 5:19-20. What would that look like? What could God Do? What would I be like? If…..
The LORD JESUS CHRIST came heal the hearts of men-to become Sons of GOD! This is the turning point of every man, from bondage to sin, to salvation and freedom. Moving from being a broken father or mother, with family like an orphanage, into being Home, where we are cared and loved by our true “Heavenly Father; ABBA!”
“Home!”
Can it be! Jesus has gone to prepare a place for each of us; Home! Prepare not only a place, but a way for our hearts to be opened and healed, and responsive in amazing Love, Joy, Peace of God, governing our lives. No anger, fear, shame, offenses, abuse, brutality, drunkenness covering our shame, fear, guilt, anger, addictions beyond our understanding.
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
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.
19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. John 14 (New King James Version)
Jesus came to restore each one on the earth to relationship with their Creator-Father in Heaven-ABBA God! The Name God most wants each of us to call Him! The Word God most desires to call you: “My Beloved Son!” That is what the whole story is about. To know in truth the restored hearts of man, to their true ABBA! The curse of sin separates that bond! JESUS Blood-on Cross-was the sacrifice man for sin to be judged-taking mine/your sin on Himself-for you! All for each of us to Know ABBA as Jesus loves and knows ABBA! Come!
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3
“Come”
“My Beloved Son”
