Father

Read – John 10:30-36
Scripture: “I and the Father are one (John 10:30).”

Denial: “There is no separation between me and God.”

Affirmation: “I AM one with God and my good.”

Most of Jesus’ prayers began with the word, Father. As highlighted in today’s reading, the Jews of his day did not claim God as their father because of the implications of fatherhood. They understood
the goal of fatherhood to be for the child to become equal to or greater than the parent. They felt that it was blasphemous for Jesus to call God his father; therefore, they wanted to stone him and kill
him. Jesus’ relationship with God superseded the religious rituals and dogma of the Jews.
You are both human and divine. As such, your divinity comes from our Father, Jehovah, and your humanity comes from our mother, earth (Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 2:7). God is always your Father, and
nothing will ever change that.

You are a divine idea that originated in the mind of God. When you pray, Our Father, you are speaking of your paternity and divine connection with everyone and everything in the Universe. You are
personalizing the Kingdom Principle of Divine Nature, owning the idea that your origination point is God, and how you came to this earth is divine.

Jesus, our Perfect Pattern, realized his oneness with God and his oneness with good. He knew that there was no separation between God and him and he boldly declared it. You have that same unity with God, and nothing can separate you from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:35-39). God abides in you, and you abide in God (John 15:7). You have full and complete access to all that God is and all the good that the universe has and holds for you. Jesus prayed that his disciples recognize their oneness with God, good, and one another (John 17:1-17).

Reflection Question: How can you manifest, maintain, and
multiply your oneness with God?

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
