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 Jesus’ relationship with God superseded the religious rituals and dogma of the Jews.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?

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  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...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
