The Father has given me 14 areas of the Fullness as His Spiritual Son. The Holy Spirit through the Word of God has opened up a lot of the details that filled in the gap on each of these 14 areas of fullness that the Father provided to me. I am so thankful that the Holy Spirit and the Father are ONE! The Holy Spirit speaks so well for what the the Father desires. Even the Son gave me some examples of some of the Fullness areas as the Spiritual Son of the Father. I am so thankful that we have the Oneness of the Trinity to draw on within this fullness to fully learn and know the Father.
I believe that you will be empowered and strengthened by this message of “Fullness As The Spiritual Son” as much as I have been. The Father has provided so much that can fully liberate Him to work and flow through us in our new identity in fullness as His Spiritual Son.
For many, many years I’ve used the words or terms “learn Christ or learning Christ”. But what does it mean to “learn Christ”? I’ve come to see what these words mean to many is to learn and know about Jesus of Nazareth. This means one must read the new testament gospels and learn about the life and times of Jesus. This would entail reviewing his works, teachings, sayings, pattern of living and actions during his time on earth. The question is, is this what it means to “learn Christ” or is there something more we’ve been missing? Let’s talk about it…
Romans chapter 8 is one of the most impactful chapters in the Bible. If I could spend my life in only one chapter of the Bible, Romans chapter 8 would be the one. It is layers upon layers of the spiritual revelation, revealing the purpose, the intent, and the plan for God’s spiritual sons. To take any verse in chapter 8 outside of the context of spiritual sonship is to strip the meaning and revelation right out of it.
Too many believers see Romans chapter 8 in two dimensions – just words on a page. When in truth, Romans chapter 8 is four-dimensional, taking us beyond time, space and matter. It is entirely spiritual; and yet, believers merely see it from a temporal perspective. There are very few verses that have been taken more out of the context of spiritual sonship than the first half of Romans 8:28 28And we know that all things work together for good …..
According to Biblestudytools, Romans 8:28 is the third most popular Bible verse in the entire Bible. On the surface, we read and hear that no matter how bad life gets, or no matter how bad we screw up – all things are going to work out OK for us. I could sum up what the world understands about Romans 8:28 with the idiomatic expression – “It’s all good”.
I would like for you to join me Sunday as I discuss Romans 8:28 and the purpose of God.
This week in fellowship we will discuss “The Exchanged Identity of Sin and Righteousness.” The fear and lack of knowledge concerning “Sin and Righteousness” in the church and outside the church is amazing. Although I am amazed, I am definitely in no way surprised! Think about it for a minute. We all live in the post resurrection of Christ, the only time God has provided for man to receive Spiritual Birth and begin again as another person Spiritually. Yet the vast majority in the church today live, move and have the mindset of before the cross, fixed on the issues of Sin and righteousness of the law. This produces and yields a self correcting theology of law and works to avoid sin to become more righteousness. The “be like Jesus” format, with WWJD mentality! They are sadly, ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of Spiritual Identity, while living in the dispensation of Sonship! So, what does the exchanged identity of sin and righteousness mean? Let’s talk about it…
This week in fellowship we will look at a little history about Timothy Paul’s son in Christ. Who was he and why did Paul deem it necessary to write to him? Who were his parents? Let’s talk about it….
Tomorrow’s message will piggy back on brother Kurtis’ message, “Born Again – The Cornerstone of True Spiritual Identity Part-1.” His whole message was exceptionally enlightening, and emphasized our Spiritual Identity having its foundation and cornerstone in being born again! But the part of his message which most caught my attention was the discussion on Bible commentaries. Before we leap into the message, let me discuss “semantics” – you know, when it sounds like someone is saying the same thing, just differently. The message might very well sound like a debate of semantics to some, but that is simply not the case. There is a process and progression in learning and growing up in our identity as the Spiritual Son of God! This process of Sonship is and should be fluid. Information, which is meaningful, becomes Spiritual knowledge, which over time leads to Spiritual understanding. As that Spiritual understanding is being lived and yielded to, it will be swallowed up into Spiritual oneness and realization of personal Identity as the Son of God! So, let’s talk about it…
Today I will share with you why you are not a mistake if you have recevied spiritual birth and become The Spiritual Son of God, who is the Father of all Humanity.The term “Son of God” is used in the Hebrew Bible as another way of referring to humans with special relationships with God. In the New Testament, ‘Son of God’ is applied in reference to Jesus on many occasions. We also know that Jesus is recognized as the Son of God on two occasions by a voice speaking from Heaven, in:
(Matthew 3:17) –17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And in
(Mark 1:11) –11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Jesus is also openly and unreservedly described as the Son of God by himself and by various individuals who appear in the New Testament. So, who are you then? What part do you have with the Father? At least we now know one thing that is clear, that Jesus is called “Son of God,” while followers of Jesus are called, “Sons of God”. The difference here is as applied to Jesus, the term is in reference to his role as the Messiah, or Christ, the King chosen by God:
(Matthew 26:63) But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Some of my favorite verses in the bible are found in John.
John:1- 5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Well, most people misunderstand these verses and make an error about their descendants some saying that man came from a monkey, or Homo erectus several million years ago. Even scientists in error agree that humans came from evolution-ancestors appeared some 5 million years ago. …Well not believing that God exist …is like saying the universe is false … or in the words of the Scientist Albert Einstein (1954): — “Science without religion is incapacitated, and religion without science is blind.”
“We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are here now with the power to shape your day and your future.” Steve Maraboli
You are Sons and Sons of God not monkeys or animals. So, let’s talk about it….
I am going to conclude last weeks message by explaining our new spiritual birth and our resultant true spiritual identity in a way that very few in the church understand today. What you understand and realize about your true spiritual identity after receiving Christ is completely dependent on what spiritual birth means to you. Everything you build on your spiritual foundation, which is Christ, is entirely dependent on how you orient the cornerstone. What is at stake is the realization of your true spiritually birthed identity to God the Father. Let’s talk…
This week we’re going to talk the foundation and cornerstone Sonship, Spiritual birth! Many call themselves Christians and have assumed that they are spiritually born from above – and are not. Others are the spiritually born of God and have been living identities that do not belong to them because they do not know who they were created to be – purposed to be, before the creation of time and the world itself. This is the dilemma because both are identical to the natural eyes of man. What does the church really understand about spiritual birth? It is an important question because spiritual birth is the cornerstone of our true spiritual identity.
There’s a lot of talk these days about freedoms being taken away and living in a free country all in the same breath. Can freedoms be stolen? Can someone who is free not have freedom. Or can someone who has freedom not be free. Are these two words freedom and free interchangeable? And of course, are there different kinds of freedoms? And what does Sonship have to do with freedom and free? Let’s talk about it…
