The Father sent His Word and the Word revealed the Father and both the Word and the Father are revealed in the Bible; the Book of life. The children of God are born of God and belong to Him and know Him. Knowing the Father and Jesus Christ is eternal life. But not everyone, who calls God their Father are born of God and belong to Him. Let alone, know Him. Many people have not God but the devil as father, which is visible through their lives. Which father do you serve, God or the devil?
Whosoever is born of God listens to Him
Who is born of God and spends time with the Father? Who listens to the voice of his Father and yields to His Word and is led by His Spirit? Many people, who say that God is their father, don’t live in the truth of their word.
They don’t walk as obedient children of God in the love and fear for Him.
They don’t keep His commandments and don’t do His will and don’t live according to His Kingdom, as they pray.
Instead, they live in a lie and walk in darkness.
Because they live in a lie and walk in darkness, they speak lies and do the works of darkness.
They have exhalted themselves above God on earth and walk in pride and rebellion in disobedience to God.
Just like the archangel Lucifer aka the devil, who is the father of fallen man and the father of lies.
The bastards in the church
God doesn’t lie and doesn’t deceive. And since His Spirit dwells in His children, His children also don’t lie and deceive. Unless, they are not His children but bastards.
Bastards, who didn’t enter the covenant through His Son by His blood and are not born of water and Spirit, but came illegally into the covenant, pretending to be His children, while in reality they are not.
Because everyone, who is born of God and has His Spirit won’t resist and reject the Word and the Holy Spirit, but resist sin and reject the lies of the devil (their previous father).
Children of God listen to the voice of their Father and walk in obedience to the Father and do His will.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee
Psalm 119:11
The devil and his children resist God and His words and commandments
People, who oppose the moral commandments of the Law of Moses and criticize them, by saying that they are not good. legalistic, and outdated, are not born of God. They don’t belong to Him, since the moral part of the law that represents God’s holy and righteous nature, is holy, righteous, and good (Romans 7:12).
The righteousness of the law shall be fulfilled in the children of God, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:4).
But the ten commandments of the Law of Moses are a stumbling block and considered evil to the old man, who is full of pride and rebellious and loves his flesh and wants to fulfill the lusts and desires of his flesh, and thus resist any obstacle that prevents him from doing the works of the flesh.
Therefore, the moral commandments of God, which Jesus also mentioned and even tightened, are an abomination to the wicked.
The wicked love sin and death, since the fruit of death is sin and the wages of sin is death.
Blessed is the man that hears Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso finds Me finds life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord. But he that sinneth against Me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate Me love death
Proverbs 8:34-36
People, who reject and hate the Word of God, love death
The Bible says, that people, who hate and reject the Word of God that contains His knowledge and wisdom, love death. And that’s true.
If you refuse to grab hold of the outreached hand of God to be delivered and become a new creation, then you show by your decision, that you don’t want to change and that you still love the world and the works and temporary pleasures of the flesh.
How many Christians that are well on their way, succumb to the many temptations that cross their path.
Instead of remembering their promise and the covenant they entered with the Almighty God and their responsibility as believers in the church (the body of Christ) and obey His words, they consider their temporary pleasures more important.
Adultery in the marriage covenant
Many men, but also women, don’t remember their covenant with God and their ‘I do’ which they promised their spouse when they entered their marriage covenant, when they read pornographic literature or watch porn or when someone with a seducing spirit of sexual lust tries to tempt them.
Instead of resisting the temptation and the lust of the flesh, by throwing away the pornographic literature, turn off the television or computer, or turn away from the female or male seducer and run away, like Joseph in the Bible, they obey the lust and will of the flesh and give into their carnal desire and bear the fruit of sin.
At that moment, they consider their temporary pleasure more important than their fidelity to God the Father and Jesus Christ, their sonship, their spouse, and eternity, and don’t consider the consequences of their decision.
Just like Esau didn’t consider the consequences of his decision when Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob to satisfy the hunger of his flesh.
Through his deed, Esau showed God that fulfilling the desire of his flesh was more important than his firstborn birthright, which God gave him, whereby God hated Esau (a.o. Genesis 27; Malachi 1:3; Romans 9:13; Hebrews 12:16).
This was Esau, who wasn’t the new man, but the old man, who lived in the Old Covenant from a fallen state.
You would think that God would understand Esau, because he was still the old creation and was very hungry. But God didn’t sympathize Esau.
And would God suddenly have understanding for the new man, who is born again in Christ after His image and crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts? The new man, who has power in Christ over sin and death, and ought to live after the spirit instead of the flesh and through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body and resist sin? (a.o. 2 Corinthians 7:1; Romans 9; Ephesians 4:20-32; Colossians 3:1-17; James 4:7).
God has bought and redeemed you with the precious blood of His Son
If you are a new creation, you ought to live as a new creation and bear the fruit of the new creation. You should no longer live the way you lived, before your repentance and the new birth in Christ, when you were still the old creation and were death because of your trespasses and sins in which you walked, according to course (age) of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience (a.o. Ephesians 2; 5; Colossians 3).
If God is your Father, you shall no longer walk in disobedience to God, but in obedience to God, because your life belongs to Him.
God redeemed you through His Son Jesus Christ from the power of the devil, sin, and death. He has bought and redeemed you with the precious blood of His Son to become in-and through Him a son of God (this applies to both male and female (a.o. Matthew 26-28; Romans 3:22-31; 5:9; Ephesians 1:5-7; Colossians 1:14).
Jesus gave His soul (life) for you, to redeem your soul from the power of the devil, sin and death. Therefore, your soul no longer belongs to the devil, who is the father of sinners, but to Jesus Christ and God the Father.
You’ve made this choice yourself; you have chosen for this transformation in Christ.
You decided to no longer be a child of devil and become a child of God
You have consciously decided to no longer be a child of the devil and obey the lusts and desires of the flesh and to live in disobedience to God under the power of sin that reigns in the flesh, but to become a child of God and obey and serve Jesus Christ and do the will of the Spirit.
God wants you to be holy and live holy, because He is holy and He gave you His Holy Spirit Who dwells in you. (a.o. Ephesians 1:4; 5:26-27; Revelation 22:11-13).
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth
Proverbs 10:16-17
What is the will of the Spirit?
The will of the Holy Spirit is the will of Christ and the will of Christ is the will of the Father. The will of the Father reigns through the Word and the Spirit in the lives of born again people, who live from their righteous state in Christ in obedience to God.
As a child of God, you shall no longer live in disobedience to God, which means you shall no longer live in sin. Since you love your Father and honor and fear Him.
The love and fear for the Lord cause you to turn away from sin, because sin causes separation.
If sin could no longer cause separation between man and God, how could sin cause separation between Adam (the first man and son of God) and God?
After all, Adam was perfectly created in the image of God. Just like the new man is perfectly created in Christ in His image.
God can’t have fellowship with the wicked, let alone bless the wicked and their works. The Word testifies thereof. (a.o. Exodus 23:7; Psalm 7:11; 9:17; 10; 11:5-6; Proverbs 8:13-17; Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 2:4-13; 1 Corinthians 5:9-11; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Ephesians 5:11).
God has no pleasure in sin. That’s because sin is disobedience to Him and shows the prideful and rebellious character of the child.
What father rejoices in the disobedience and iniquities of his child?
What father rejoices, when his child doesn’t listen and doesn’t do what he says? And what father is happy when his child is prideful and rebellious and does things that he forbade the child to do? What father is proud of his child and rewards his child when he misbehaves and transgresses the law? What father praises his child for the wrong his child does to others?
No father would do that, right? And yet, this is the image of the Father that is created in the church.
Many Christians reflect the Father with this father, who is proud and happy with his disobedient children and rejoices in the wicked works and the transgressions of his children.
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy
Proverbs 17:21
A selfmade God is preached in the church
But this is not the God, the Creator of the heaven and the earth and all there is within. This is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and not the Father of Jesus Christ and the Father of the new man (the new creation).
This is a selfmade image of God by carnal people, who are not born again and don’t have the Spirit of God abiding in them, but are worldly and have created a father after their own image (as sinner), who delights in the pride, stubbornness, rebellion and disobedience of his children and therefore rejoices in the sins of his children.
This father is preached in many churches and exalted, praised, and worshiped through song and dance.
Just like the people of Israel considered the golden calf, that was made by their high priest and presented as the god of Israel, as their god, and they sang and danced before this image.
But they worshiped the wrong image that man made.
They didn’t worship God, Who had shortly before prohibited His redeemed people to make idols and bow before them. Instead they worshiped the devil, who is the father of sinners and delights in the pride, stubbornness, rebellion and disobedience of his children.
Does God or the devil rejoice in the sins of his children?
It is therefore not God but the devil who delights himself in the sins of his children. And so, it’s the devil, who is transformed into an angel of light and his ministers that are transformed as the ministers of righteousness, that is preached as father, and praised and worshipped in many churches.
Churches that have no knowledge of the Almighty God and don’t do the will of God anymore and don’t believe and obey the words and commandments of Jesus Christ, and as a result, don’t repent of the works of the flesh and turn from sin, don’t baptize people in water, don’t baptize people with the Holy Spirit, don’t speak in new tongues, don’t cast out demons but feed them, and don’t lay hands on the sick, but instead leave the people in their old lives and allow their sins and keep the people in a false security by pledging manmade vows in the church, which they don’t keep in their daily lives.
This shows, that the people who say they know God and belong to Him not really know Him and don’t believe in Him and actually don’t believe in sin.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother
1 John 3:7-10
The servants of the devil present themselves as ministers of God and of righteousness
It’s just like the elders, leaders and scribes of Israel, who presented themselves as the ministers of God and of righteousness, but didn’t recognize Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Instead, they rejected Him and eventually killed Him.
They didn’t receive Jesus as the Son of God, their Messiah and King.
Jesus’ words found no place in their hearts, but they rejected His words. They labeled Jesus as a liar and son of the devil and accused Him of breaking the Law of God.
However, the truth was, that they were the ones that were not of God. They were sons of the devil, which they revealed through their works (John 8:43-47).
Although they spoke religious words and bound heavy burdens and laid them on the people, they didn’t keep them.
They walked in disobedience to God and did the works of their father, the devil.
Then Jesus showed up, the Word of God, in Whom the Holy Spirit dwelled and testified of their evil works.
The people walked in darkness and their minds were blinded. But Jesus was the Light and brought the truth into the light.
The children of God don’t have the spirit of the world but the Holy Spirit
The children of God, who have received the Holy Spirit, still do that on earth. Because the first work of the Holy Spirit, Who is the Spirit of truth and comes from the Father and dwells in the new man, is to convict the world of sin.
Children of God listen to their Father and serve Him. They believe His words and receive His truthful words of knowledge and wisdom in their hearts, whereby they live in the truth in the light in obedience to the Father and do righteous works, that testify of their sonship in Christ and that they belong to God.
Children of God don’t live in the world in darkness in obedience to the will of their father the devil. They’re not led by the spirit of the world, but they are separated in Christ from the world. They belong to God and shall do His will and bring His Kingdom on earth.
Have you found out, that you live in a lie and always thought that you served God while in reality you served the devil? Repent and ask forgiveness and get to know the real Father through the Word.
‘Be the salt of the earth’
