Wrong thinking will lead to wrong believing,this causes wrong
results (re-phrasing a quote by Kenneth.E.Hagin)
God is our father.
This is the high point of the revelation of Christ.Its the spirit of
the new covenant .
The old covenant had fear.This was so because it found fault .
The new covenant gives boldness and access.
The Spirits witness bears this testimony
Romans 8:15 (KJV)
15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
Abba, Father.
We call God father !
Your opinion of God should surpass by very far distance what
Moses thought of him,how job saw him..what david said
about Him.
Stick with Jesus!
He has seen the Father!
John 1:18 (KJV)
18[No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared ] him.
Jesus is the absolute revelation of God.
Except when he became the sinners substitute on the cross
(matthew 27:46)He always referred to God as Father!
Hear Moses
Matthew 5:43(KJV)
43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Now Jesus
Matthew 5:44-45 (KJV)
44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them
which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in
heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the
good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
The Father is good and kind to His enemies.
Benevolent.Merciful.Kind.
He loves,forgives and blesses the wicked even while they still
are evil!
Jesus said so!
We must develop a Christ consciousness about God.
A son mindset.
A Father understanding.
But God is a consuming fire?(Hebrews 12:29)
Did he mention consuming His children ?
This once happened to Jesus .
He was being dishonored .Disrespected.
Then his disciples found scriptures to inspire him
They quoted Elijah
Luke 9:54 (KJV)
54[And when his disciples James and John saw ] this[, they
said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down
from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?]
Consume them by fire.
Jesus said what the Father says(said)
Luke 9:55-56 (KJV)
55[But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not
what manner of spirit ye are of.]
56[For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but
to save ] them[. And they went to another village.]
Jesus saves.He doesn't destroy!
The new covenant gives life!
Jesus is the mediator .
Life is He.
Death He is not.
Saviour is He.Destroyer He is not!
John 10:10(KJV)
10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.
