GOD IS THE FATHER OF SPIRITS MAN IS THE FATHER OF FLESH

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 seed of the 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  sons. 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.

                                         ENEMIES OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST Gal 1: 3- 4 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,    WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, 8 he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:   Christ is the message because sin is dead. He gave Himself for our sins to condemning sin in the flesh.(Roman 8:3). Christ came into this world so that men through Him would receive Eternal life. The Gospel of Christ is the Good News to mankind that should be received. It does not happen by chance. It is a relationship of consciousness of Christ by faith. It is a very pathetic that many have moved away from the truth. They have gone through human philosophies and definitely concluded that Jes...

YOU HAVE TO BE A NEW CREATION.

  YOU HAVE TO BE A NEW CREATION. The definition and description of the the New Creation can ONLY be in Christ.  .He can't exist anywhere else.. 2 Corinthians  5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This means that without Christ death, burial and resurrection, there would not have been anything like New Creation.  The emergence of this new Creation has been the divine project God had  before the foundation of the world. When God and man would be one in common ground.  That was why God was not living in Adam. He was visiting. The first Adam was not God carrier Before the Creation of Adam God has already known the New Creation and destined them to be in Christ.  Because the lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. (Romans  8: 29-30 )For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn a...
