GOD IS THE FATHER OF
SPIRITS MAN IS THE FATHER OF FLESH
Heb 12:9 Furthermore
we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them
reverence: shall we not much rather BE IN SUBJECTION UNTO THE FATHER OF
SPIRITS, AND LIVE?
In the Old Testament, God was not known as a father. He was
only a circumstantial God with diverse names based on the situation he created
to reveal Himself to a particular person at a particular time. Consequently,
many have seen God manifest in their lives in a particular situation at a
particular time that made them give God
names according to the situation H created for the revelation. These names are
as follows. Jehovah shama, Jehovah Nissi,Jehovah Elohim, Jehovah Adonai etc.
God was not known as a father in the Old Testament because
God can only beget spirit born by the incorruptible word.
1PE 1:23 BEING BORN
AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH
LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER.
Abraham was known as a father according to flesh to the Jews
because they were all natural men limited only to the knowledge of life in the
flesh by the bondage of the law.
But when Christ came , He began to prepare their minds about
the way to identified with God as a son. It is through faith in Christ that
sonship is received
JOHN 1:12 BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE
HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME.
God is God to everyone even to the devil but God is not a
father to everyone. God is the father of those who are born of the spirit by
the incorruptible word through faith in Christ. You cannot be the sons of a God
who is a spirit until you are born of the spirit by the word and become a
spirit.
JOHN 3: 6 THAT WHICH
IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.
A man who is not born of the spirit cannot be led by the
spirit because he is spiritually dead therefore cannot be a son of God even
though God is God. To everyone since He
is the creator of the universe.
In the Old Testament,
God was not a father even to those who
walked with him because they were not born again.
ROMANS 8: 14 FOR AS
MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE SONS OF GOD.
A man who is not born of the spirit cannot have access to
the father by the Holy Spirit because he is not one with the Lord. The Holy
Spirit has to be in you to lead you. He comes in because you are born of the
spirit to dwell in your spirit by the word of God
1CO 6:17 BUT HE THAT
IS JOINED UNTO THE LORD IS ONE SPIRIT.
EPH 2:18 FOR THROUGH
HIM WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS BY ONE SPIRIT UNTO THE FATHER .
Nobody can worship God in the spirit if he is spiritually dead.
WORSHIP IS A SPIRIT TO SPIRIT EVENT. TRUE
WORSHIP IS A FATHER AND SON AFFAIR. And we are the generation that God
qualified for that relationship when you are born of the spirit.
JOHN 4: 23 BUT THE
HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS SHALL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN
SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH: FOR THE FATHER SEEKETH SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM. 24 GOD IS A
SPIRIT: AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
PHIL 3:3 FOR WE ARE
THE CIRCUMCISION, WHICH WORSHIP GOD IN THE SPIRIT, AND REJOICE IN CHRIST JESUS,
AND HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FLES
2COR 3: 17 NOW THE
LORD IS THAT SPIRIT: AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.
For you to call God your father, you have to accept Jesus
Christ and be born of the spirit because God is a spirit.
Thank you Jesus.
