How many raise their children without ever finding the "Way" to trace out the image of God within that child in order to properly introduce them to their true identity that is only found In Christ?
Simply put, "Only the spirit of truth can teach the spirit of God within a man"!
When a father can not convince his child to want the same thing the father also has at what point does the spirit of God in a man become something of value?
Is the body of Christ trying to raise the slaves of God or Children of God? Is the God that is being taught and promoted finding himself of no value in the lives of those who are doing "The teaching" or is the God that is Love not being properly introduced?
The beauty of what Christ teaches in many different ways is that in each lesson he's focused on One and the same thing, "The Sons of God being brought to maturity". The hard part is getting everyone that's supposed to be involved on the same page!
This can only be seen when the "Me" becomes the "We" or the "Us" in conversation about the Godly affairs here in the earth.
1 Cor 12:26
If one part suffers , every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
NIV
Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive .
NIV
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. NIV
There is wrong suffering and there is righteous suffering, yet the best example of a survivor is put on display how?
As parents we "Might" get to hear ourselves from time to time being quoted by our children, yet how close to THE truth are those same words? Do we simply hand to them words that are empty and void of True value?
Words that have been minced and mixed with the wisdom that comes from this world?
Gen 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; .....NIV
The mind that has associated itself with this world goes off track as soon as if hears the mention of gender specific qualities or other aspects which only seem to divide, yet why?
Unless the essence of what causes a man to be corrupted has changed since the beginning what makes any man think of himself or others differently today? Is sin unique or is a liar and a murderer any different in the eyes of God?
How much different is the spirit of God that is One within as many as have received that "Same" Spirit of Son-ship? And that without respect for the divisive gap of time and/or circumstances between generations?
Ps 106:20
They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
NIV
Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols.
NIV
Rom 1:25
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
NIV
1 John 2:17
The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
NIV
Man has been hearing for years we're living in the last times, yet is he growing tired of holding onto the value of such a truth?
If this passage of truth were all that one had to define what a "Scoffer" is in God's eyes, what would one see in that defining?
Jude 18-19
They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires ." These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
NIV
The word "Ungodly" simply means "Not Like God" and when it's understood more completely, it also means not like Christ who is also of the God head. The holy speaks many things, yet the resounding tone works all things together for the good of the body of Christ here in the earth.
How easy is it to suggest this as if the tone and essence of His spirit? Because God is One, Christ is One with God and Jesus prayed so that those who believe on him might also be One with them.
Eph 2:15-18
His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit .
NIV
The seductive nature and conversation(s) of this world look to divide the children of God and many think they're strong enough to handle (endure) this torment on their own, yet how do we then find many who have NOT been protected by the "Many"?
More often the many will turn out the not so strong because the many were NOT strong enough to defend them to begin with.
The inner ranks and leadership of the many have allowed the wolves to come in. Much of this is due to the lack of discernment among the people.
How much of this lack of discernment is due to the failure of some that have miserably failed at revealing the true Identity of the child?
If it is true that Gods people suffer from lack of "Knowledge", then where does one look to in order to repair such a malady?
How does the parental icon in the life of a child learn to demonstrate the saving power of God without their being a power that also proves itself to be true?
It's too easy to "Blame" the parents of the "One" that goes astray, yet when all the facts do come in exactly where were the hearts of the many in their dedication unto the cares of Gods people.
Many only wish to marvel at the miracle's of Jesus, yet why did Jesus do the miraculous? Could it be that He also loves people? He may not Love everything that people choose to do, yet when He is believed, Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven and remembered no more!
People will always be hungry, yet what they're hungry for only comes natural to the very nature within themselves they've been taught to recognize and feed.
When as few as one will not accept that God loves people, at what point does the whole get concerned?
How does a 300 pound lion consume a 4,000 lb elephant?
1 John 4:21
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear , because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love because he first loved us.
If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
NIV
All men truly are without excuse, yet only when they've truthfully looked up and to ALL that God has placed on display for they're mutual benefit and edification!
Prov 8:34-36
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.
But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death."
NIV
