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 Jesus’ relationship with God superseded the religious rituals and dogma of the Jews.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

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
