We believers have been calling God Father for a long time. But why Father?
Today we know the meaning of Father to us
JOHN 14:1 NKJV
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
Heart - the thoughts or feelings
“Don’t worry or surrender to your fear. For you’ve believed in God, now trust and believe in me also.
We are eternal beings.
This life is so temporarily.
We are not from here. We are from above. We are born from above. We are spirit that live forever.
We have a very rich Father.
JOHN 14:2-3 NKJV
In MY FATHER’S HOUSE are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will COME AGAIN and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
No one can live forever. How many houses can you live in?
A lot of concern for wealthy people.
Those who have passed on, they are looking down and cheering us on.
Jesus will come in a rapture. 7 years later 2nd coming of Christ.
There is eternity. There is heaven that God has prepared mansion for us.
JOHN 14:4-5 NKJV
And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
Jesus is the Way the Life
Religion is man trying to reach God
Jesus is the only Way. There is no other way.
All has been prophesied in the bible.
In the last day there is one world religion.
No one comes to the Father
JOHN 14:6 NKJV
Jesus said to him, “I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.
No one comes to the FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.
Christ alone. I am the Way
With boldness, without fear.
When you believe He is the only way. Is the matter of heart.
Conversion is believe from heart.
JOHN 14:7-8 NKJV
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
He who has seen Me has seen the Father.
JOHN 14:9 NKJV
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?
He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Don’t have to proof. God is real.
He will live through you.
The world belong to Him.
The devil has legal control ownership on leasehold basis until Jesus come again.
JOHN 14:10-11 NKJV
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?
The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
Do you dare to call God Father? If calling Him Father will put you in prison?
He is Father and Father forever
The whole judicial system come from the bible.
Today we have a heavenly Father and that settles everything
Today we have a heavenly Father.
Father is the One who created this whole universe.
His Father is the One who created the whole universe.
Jesus knew He was born to die.
He was sent by the Father.
God sent Jesus.
New relationship is new. The Father tenderly loves you.
JOHN 16:26-28 TPT
And I will not need to ask the Father on your behalf, for you’ll ask him directly because of your new relationship with me.
For the FATHER tenderly LOVES YOU, because you love me and believe that I’ve come from God.
I came to you SENT FROM the FATHER’S PRESENCE, and I entered into the created world, and now I will leave this world and return to the FATHER’S SIDE.”
Whatever Jesus said is truth.
God found us. He fills our emptiness
His Father loves His creation.
Father loves you.
You have a loving Father.
Jesus died for us when we were undeserving.
God created Adam as His likeness
Our Father in heaven, He will feed us no matter what.
God thinks of us all the time. Even our hair, He counts how many hair we have.
This world was created by the Father.
He wants us to be clear today. Who we are in Christ.
Jesus came from the Father. He was sent by the Father.
He knows where He came from and where He is going to.
At the right hand of the Father
Love sent Jesus to the cross
Give, give, give, given
God wants to give to His children
Listen to the right Father.
Everything is gift from God
Appreciating each other
In the world is about competition
Finding for acknowledgement
JOHN 17:8-9 TPT
And the very words you gave to me to speak I have passed on to them.
They have received your WORDS and carry them in their HEARTS.
They are convinced that I have come from your PRESENCE, and they have fully believed that you sent me to represent you.
So with deep love, I pray for my disciples.
I’m not asking on behalf of the unbelieving world, but for those who belong to you, those you have GIVEN me.
God created this earth through speaking.
Be the staff that your boss cannot do without.
Working time is not preaching the gospel time.
What we have is the Father’s presence
The presence of God is with me
He is ever at the right hand of God, the intercessor
He knows all our feeling our pain. He is praying for us all the time at the right hand of the Father.
Interceding standing on our behalf
Standing on behalf or speaking on behalf
When you preach, people just laugh
God is not sad. He is humorous.
Don’t need pray long story. Just go direct. Pray direct.
The Father knows everything.
Reality is experience.
God wants you to have that experience.
Overcome the fear of scare of people
JOHN 17:13-14 TPT
“But now I am returning to you so Father, I pray that they will EXPERIENCE and ENTER into my joyous delight in you so that it is fulfilled in them and overflows.
I have GIVEN them your message and that is why the unbelieving world hates them.
For their allegiance is no longer to this world because I am not of this world.
Go into the deep. God’s protection and provision
Giving is not set in the bible how many percent. Giving comes from the heart.
Let everyone gives generously cheerfully from the heart.
Heart from the spirit
Preaching the gospel is not telling others they go to hell.
Preach Jesus
When we preach the gospel we represent Christ.
When we preach Jesus and people persecute you, they are persecuting Jesus
Today you represent Father
Here is not about fear of rejection.
You are dead and the one living inside you is Christ.
You are dead! So different.
Do you put your roots here? You are not from this world
He will show the world He is your Father
JOHN 17:15-16 TPT
I am not asking that you remove them from the world, but I ask that you GUARD their HEARTS from evil, For they NO LONGER BELONG to this WORLD any more than I do.
We belong to God who is our Father.
We don’t belong to the god of this world which is the devil.
JOHN 17:17-18 TPT
“Your Word is truth!
So make them holy by the truth.
I have commissioned them to represent me just as you commissioned me to represent you.
JOHN 17:20-22 TPT
“And I ask not only for these disciples, but also for all those who will one day believe in me through their message. I pray for them all to be joined together as one even as you and I, FATHER, are JOINED TOGETHER as ONE.
I pray for them to become one with us so that the world will recognize that you sent me.
For the very glory you have GIVEN to me I HAVE GIVEN them so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that we enjoy.
He prayed for us when we are on earth.
Join yourself with the Father.
We will never be separated.
Nothing will separate us from the love of God.
Only spiritual joining is permanent
Jesus was joined to the Father and no one can separate us.
When you said you are not good enough, and you are ugly, are you saying Daddy God is ugly? We are born from Him
We have His gene.
The world recognise we are from above. W always have confident.
Fishes swim to you.
It is not the world crown us.
The world will recognise Jesus sent us.
Pressure not pleasure.
JOHN 19:9-11 TPT
So he took Jesus back inside and said to him, “Where have you come from?”
But once again, silence filled the room.
Perplexed, Pilate said, “Are you going to play deaf?
Don’t you know that I have the power to grant you your freedom or nail you to a tree?”
Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me at all, unless it was given to you from ABOVE.
This is why the one who betrayed me is guilty of an even greater sin.”
Only the Father’s Word has power over me.
JOHN 20:17 TPT
Jesus cautioned her, “Mary, don’t hold on to me now, for I haven’t yet ascended to God, MY FATHER.
And he’s not only my Father and God, but NOW he’s YOUR FATHER and YOUR GOD!
Now go to my brothers and tell them what I’ve told you, that I am ascending to my Father—and YOUR FATHER, to MY GOD—and YOUR GOD!”
Jesus did not need to defend Himself
JOHN 20:17 TPT
Jesus cautioned her, “Mary, don’t hold on to me now, for I haven’t yet ascended to God, MY FATHER.
And he’s not only my Father and God, but NOW he’s YOUR FATHER and YOUR GOD!
Now go to my brothers and tell them what I’ve told you, that I am ascending to my Father—and YOUR FATHER, to MY GOD—and YOUR GOD!”
Orphan understand more about Father. Orphans don’t have father to love them, no inheritance
Isn’t all these removed when we become children of God?
We will never feel orphan
EPHESIANS 1:3 TPT
EVERY spiritual blessing in the HEAVENLY REALM has ALREADY BEEN LAVISHED upon us as a LOVE GIFT from our wonderful HEAVENLY FATHER,
the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ.
This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!
Jesus came to tell us He wants to take care of us and He longs to take care of us.
Abundance and never feel lack.
We will never feel orphan and not loved.
EPHESIANS 1:5-6 TPT
For it was always in his perfect plan to ADOPT us as HIS delightful CHILDREN, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One,
so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace—for the SAME LOVE HE HAS for his Beloved One, Jesus, he HAS for US.
And this unfolding plan brings him great PLEASURE!
The world system is stingy mindset
He will give you more than enough when you stop thinking of Him that way.
Is a love gift. God gives love gift.
Jesus’ Father becomes our Father
Same Father that Jesus has.
He gives you the same package. Same privilege.
God comes down. We are delightful to Him
EPHESIANS 1:7-8 TPT
Since we are now joined to Christ, we HAVE BEEN GIVEN the treasures of redemption by his blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading RICHES of his GRACE.
This SUPERABUNDANT GRACE IS already powerfully working in us, releasing WITHIN US ALL forms of WISDOM and PRACTICAL UNDERSTANDING.
Jesus said enjoy your life
Our security is not from this world.
EPHESIANS 1:9-10 TPT
And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.
And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.
Disease means dis-ease. The unbelievers don’t have a Father to take care of them.
The heavenly Father feeds the sparrow.
