True Essence of God's Revelation For Family
Chapter OneWhat is Family?
Now this is an introduction to the format of this particular book because this is where you create the theme of the entire section or chapter. This particular chapter is on “What is Family?” This might seems to be a simple question but you will be surprised of the answers. Lest I should try to explain it in its fullness of the revelation of God’s word. Well together let us embark on a journey that will hopefully lead you on an enlighten end. This chapter will show us the formula that will be combined with biblical truths about family. Have you ever thought about the chemical make up or formula which comes together to make a family. So I want you to get a pencil or a sheet of paper and a writing tool and I am going to ask you three questions that I wish for you to keep record of. Now the reason I get a pencil because if you answer in the book and you want to pass the book along to a friend your answers are their and they don’t have the opportunity to write their answer untainted. You will be surprise if you ask a person a question with out any other thought before them you will get a clear answer unmixed with any other thought. This is the goal for you and everyone to get down and honest with your self about these questions because you will see the true nature of the sincerity of the understanding of family. Who is the first family? __________________________________________________________ What is family to you? ___________________________________________________________ What is your position in your family? ______________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________ I want you to know that I was not trying to compare your thoughts nor make you feel anyway self conscience of your self nor was I trying to stir up any resentment within you about this particular topic. What I wanted to do was to surface your true thoughts about the subject to bring into the light. I want to open an honest as line of communication as well as challenge you and your walk through biblical truth. Take a look again at the questions and your answers and let us together take this journey and see the deep deceptions as well as the distortions and the preconceived assumptions through hand down understanding for which for me I simply call “Spiritual Holocaust”. In order to receive the true essence of the biblical truths of God’s word to transform the spiritual explosion to be seen in the physical. I learned that to achieve this we need to bring together a lot of information and see the actual intention that you are suppose to be. The Bible says: “In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” (1Corinthians 5:4-8) You see in those verses we know that the Lord gathered us up to purge ourselves with the pureness of the truth to rid ourselves of the false deceptions to be restored to what the intention from the beginning for us. Some might say that they don’t even know this Lord we speak of and this particular pattern of thought is not for me. Now that is interesting to me because the Bible says: “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” (Romans 1:20-21) Also the Bible says: “But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.” (Job 12:7-10) These scriptures let us know that the true essence is that there is know way a person do not know God they refuse to accept it. Everything tells it with all logic as well as an inward knowing but we being free to choose as well as from the beginning being attack so the truth will be distorted unto us by the adversary. Look the Bible says again: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.” (Psalms 19:1-6) Constantly the word of God let us know that there is knowledge of the present of God in everyone but being free to make choices we have the option to accept it or turn and pursue another avenue. I want this to be clear that this is not talking about denominational teaching as if one organization is proof of your acceptance of God verses another this about the true essence of the acceptance that God do exist. We have to realize that the infiltration of the enemy to distort the truth is based on the fact that the passed down information is accepted for God’s word. You see as the beginning of our existence we are being taught and if the information that is taught is tainted then we start off on the wrong track just as it was in the beginning. The enemy came and took God’s word and masked the deception of his interpretation for which convinced or persuaded Eve to eat of the tree of life. This is the same attack continuing by being passed down and destroying the true essence of God’s word as well as all the great gifts given unto man as well as the “Family” In this section we are going to use those deep penetrations of the enemy as the development of your thinking was formed from and taken within as truth. The Bible says: “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.” (Matthew 12:33-35) The Bible also says: “For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:44-46) These verses let you know that what ever is in your heart will come forth of your mouth. This is most interesting because it is not what you say that is what is so important but the state of the heart is. You see I can say anything but the essence of the trueness of my heart will really reveal my true position and if totally sold out on then I will speak about it. Now this produces power, strength, peace, as well as confidence, victory if my sold out is build on the right rock. Take a look at what happens when the enemy infiltrate the trueness of the knowledge then out heart is build on false information so our view is distorted when we actually look at it we will not even admit the existence of the feeling we know that something is true or not. I know that it seems that the book as taking another turn from family to something else but the foundation needs to be set in order to follow God in His glory of righteousness. You see with all the members of our person having to being individually dealt with you and I have to start off right with Christ Jesus or the enemy can persuade you away or convince you of something that is not of God. This gives us a powerful understanding on how the Apostle Paul felt when he wrote: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” (Romans 7:18-25) We see that the biggest battle is between what is in the head verses what is in the heart. The deception is in the head and Christ in the heart and we have to make the choice to renew our thinking. You see this is a tremendous revelation. I want you to understand this particular concept because this is the key to the understanding of family. If your heart is out of order then your thoughts are out of order that puts your actions or your body out of orders. Why is that important if you cannot understand the family you possess within how can you comprehend the greatest institution of “Family.” If your first family is you then you should and want to bring that in order so when it is manifest in the physical with an outside family you will know the mechanics of the working knowledge of family. Before some are able to receive this let gather some information on “Family.” The word “Family” means: a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household 2. a group of people related to one another by blood or marriage 3. the children of a person or couple 4. a person or people related with a special loyalty or intimacy 5. a group of people united in criminal activity 6. a group of objects united by a significant share characteristics. (New Oxford American Dictionary) Here is another reference on “family”: parents and their children 2. relatives 3. all those descended form a common ancestor: lineage 4. a group of similar or related things ---adj. suitable for a family specif., wholesome (Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus Second Edition) Now I want to say this because it is remarkable of the different concepts that are developed unknown to the world by deception. If these definitions have any validity then there is know way possible by know means could racism exist. If we understood family and any theory of man everyone agree that there was one that every person got started from weather it is of a special color or not but it was from one where all the world got started. Then if that concept is true then we all are in the same family there is know color nor separation because you can never separate because we hold the same bloodline. What makes it so interesting is that not only do we hold the same bloodline but it is you that created my race. If the different organization believe that the “White Man” was the first man and we want to keep their race pure the failure was not that they mixed it was that you changed and created all the rest. You are the continuing blood line from the beginning. So we can see how the deception run so deep that some refuse to see the falsehood of the separation because know where you can look that it is not your brother or sister you and I and everyone is family. We are the descendants of the continuing blood line. Now can you see the great revelation in the scriptures that was inspired to be wrote: “Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.” (Proverbs 3:28-30) Also the Bible says: “By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.” (Proverbs 11:11-13) The Bible says again: “The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.” (Isaiah 19:1-3) Look at this one: “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:” (Jeremiah 31:33-35) This one is my favorite: “And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.” (Luke 10:25-37) I want you to notice Christ Jesus teaching on this subject but many have missed the revelation of the teaching. When the commandments were given unto Moses there were ten but only the words was trying to be followed. Christ Jesus came to bring the revelation of the word so we as members of the Body of Christ to see the fulfillment of the law. Notice how this continued until the true essence of the original intention was brought forth to those that sought it. The Bible says: “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:36-40) Notice as the continuing true essence wanted to be seen by God so there will be total revelation for principle bases for each person God continued with the revelation as Paul was inspired to speak on the same topic. The Bible says: “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (Galatians 5:14) Interesting how everything falls to the true revelation of your revelation of who you are from the beginning its true essence of connection. This is a wonderful revelation because the entire principle of family relies on the beginning of your understanding exactly what family is and who your family is. Remember it was God intention from the beginning that we were all suppose to be within the glory of God as His people as one body for His glorification would it not stand to reason that the concept of everyone to be connect to everyone. So what is the connection within all this that is so great magnitude that it possessed everything living within God’s vast creation? We see that the thing that connects it all is the thing that we as God’s creation found that would change a murder into a preacher, take an addict and watch the transformation of a productive member of this society as well as a member of the body of Christ Jesus. What is the one thing that the enemy uses to distort the view of this to destroy a mass of creation? It is the element that is as essential to our survivor as it is to the adversary destruction. This element creates as well as builds strength and victory in our lives as it gives the clear essences of the true nature of family. You see in the fullness of the understanding of “Family” there is a tie that brings us to the knowledge that what we will do for another will be the same as what we will do for the misconception of who we think is our family. If the greatest beginning that our position was to always be with God as He walk through the garden of Eden talking with Adam then there has to be an instill understanding through out the creation that we all belong to one another. The root to this element God’s uses it to bring clarity to the basic principle of family. The Bible says: “For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” (Romans 12:4-5) Regardless of where you are or what you are doing we still connected because of the basic principle of God’s ordain beginning. Once you come into the realm of Christ Jesus then the clarity is brought into presence. The Bible says: “As he spake these words, many believed on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:30-32) So we see here that clarity comes because we come into the clarity of Christ then looking through Christ by way of this tremendous element comes the truth. This is very interesting because the basic element becomes the great chemical of clarification that started as the awesomeness of the indescribable power of God as well as His great awareness. There is one thing that is undisputed regardless of age, sex, position in the society, job, area, or even mental state of mind that this particular element is the key to everything. This element is “Love” and there is only one teacher of this element and this is where the distortion comes in and where the enemy has infiltrated and took the revelation and try to do all he can to hide it. Now many scriptures bring revelation to this element of love because if we truly understand it we will do what was necessary to input this into everything we do. Notice this scripture: “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2) Look as if the revelation and the clarity were so over powering to Paul that almost every letter that he wrote focus on this area of the element. The act of showing love, proofing your love, standing for your love was always the themes for Paul to write to the churches as well as his motivator to do what he is doing. If I got the clarity of what love is then it is automatic that I want to help my family and if they hurt I hurt if they are going through I am going through as well if they are suffering I am suffering too simply because I love them. The ultimate question should be is how I know and this is the area where the concept of love has many different answers as well as the understanding of family exist. So if I ask you that question then if the question has the impact that it suppose to have the answer will show as well as been seen and especially know in confidence and all the answers will point in the same direction. You see if the factor or the answers all is pointing the same way then what the answer is pointing to is not only the teacher or representative of love but the author of love. The Bible says: “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” (1 John 3:15-17) See how those scriptures show us that not only the revelation but the impact of the trueness of the revelation because of your action represents the knowledge of the righteous revelation. If there is a compartment that house such an element if have to be house exactly where the author of love is housed in your family. So when the enemy attempts to distort it his direction is not within the housing of the area of love but the area for which analyze the unction to bring to actual understanding. So the enemy has know present within the housing of love but all the infiltration is within the area were we try to rationalize our action and feelings as well as our reasoning for doing what we do. But to understand any of this we have to first understand that the author of love have a clear meaning of love as well as giving us the clarity of love. We see that the principle of love is the activation of clarity which gives us the truth and understanding of the deception of the enemies infiltration of our area of rationalization or our minds but to even start all that we must come to the most important decision in our lives by choosing Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Now once we receive the author we begin to receive the clarity by way of understanding the great awesomeness of the possessor of “Love.” So what do all this have to do with “Family” and how is it tied in to the fact of your understanding of the simple fact that everything revolves around the principle of love. Now I appreciate those thoughts as well as those questions and I am so glad you ask them so let us go together into the awesome world of revelation about the essences of God’s greatest institution “Family” Now before we look at the definitions of family to see which is vital to our revelation instead of our interpretation of what we want it to be we are going to gather a little more information. I want you to know that in order to receive what you are looking for you have to look for it and in the word of God we have to study it and we will receive the truth and that truth will set you free. So let us go forward in the gathering of information. I learn in my process of growth that my original thought is not necessary the best thought. In my growing up there was not much blood relationship. In other words my brothers as well as sisters and parents were not of the same blood because I was adopted. Now as the start of understanding I was first filled with resentment because I am looking at the surrounding with the carnal eye as well as the infiltration of the enemy by way of thought of why I am here. Of course there is a many people that can say that the growing up was very difficult because of many different reasons, abuse, neglect, lack of wisdom, hidden agendas as well as much more. But it was not until I got older and met the author of the catalpas for the foundation of family. I ask myself if not I have found this would I understand that the events is what pushed me into the light of understanding and I want to share it with you. In order to give anything to a group that has never had it you first must understand it you have to have some type of experience in it. As the author of something you have to be the one that know exactly how it goes as well as knows the end and outs of it. Then to take that and express it to me so I can copy it takes a very special person. Some of our famous creators can not explain what they have done in terms that we all could understand as well as do not understand it fully. So marketing teams are created as well as speakers and all the tools used to explain it to the people it is for is left to those that are masters of the skill or talent of communication. You know what are the greatest explanation are those that created something and build it from the start to finish and had to create every part they can explain the ends and out of the created. This is the same principle in our lives that gives us the victory because we know the ends and outs of the principle and we have the manual with us so when we need it we can refer to it and learn what we need to do to get back on track as well as continue in the growth. So let’s see what the author has for us to understand the concept of family from its intention from the beginning. We will also look at it from the author perspective and gather that revelation and it will let us see how much infiltration that the adversary has penetrated. There is something that we must understand from the beginning so we will start from the beginning with Genesis. The Bible says: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1: 26-27) Now the great debate or the great theological arguments between different religious organizations is the use of the plural noun. The plural noun is very interesting and difficult for some to understand I belive this will be the best way to describe it. I want you to understand that this particular type of noun is very crucial to the revelation. There is a many places that this type of noun is used such as: “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isaiah 6:8) The plural pronoun used in those verses is “US” and this is where many differ in the interpretation. So what is the meaning of plural pronoun? Let us break it up by word and then combine it to sum up the meaning. The word “plural” means: {{< L plus, more}} more than one ---n. Gram. the form of a word designating more than one (Ex: hands, men) (Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus Second Edition) In another reference it means: adj. 1. Relating to or composed of more than one member, set, or kind: the plural meanings of a text; a plural society. 2. Grammar Of or being a grammatical form that designates more than one of the things specified. n. Grammar 1. The plural number or form. 2. A word or term in the plural form. [Middle English plurel, from Old French, from Latin pl r lis, from pl s, pl r-, more; see pel -1 in Indo-European roots.] (Wikipedia Dictionary) The word noun means: {{ < L. nomen, a name}} Gram. a word that names or denotes a person, thing, place, action, quality, etc. (Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus Second Edition) Also in another reference noun mean: n. Abbr. n. 1. The part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action and can function as the subject or object of a verb, the object of a preposition, or an appositive. 2. Any of the words belonging to this part of speech, such as neighbor, window, happiness, or negotiation. [Middle English, name, noun, from Anglo-Norman, from Latin n men translation from Greek noma , name , noun] (Wikipedia Dictionary) Now let us put together the definition for the understanding of plural noun which is: more than one person or thing or place, quality or action. So armed with that information you most likely have not yet seen the discrepancy in the understanding of those verse not just yet so let me clarify it for you. The problem of the plural pronoun is really a difficult one. Here are some of the arguments. The reason why we have that plural is because Elohim is a plural noun, even though it is referring to God. Well that is interesting, except that in the passages the Lord, Yahweh, said, "let Us go down" etc. Many of the Jewish writers—in fact most of them—argue that He is talking to the angels. Yet there is an exception because they do not like this explanation in the story of Creation because God alone creates. Therefore, they do not like God saying to the angels, "Hey, let us make man." They do not believe the angels were involved in the process. But they do like that explanation in Genesis eleven, "Let us go down," because He is the Lord of Hosts, armies, and He is taking all of His angels down with Him. When He says, "Let us," that is where they get it, but they do not prefer that interpretation in Genesis 1. So in Genesis 1, the average Hebrew commentary on that says that this is what is called a majestic plural. "What's a majestic plural?" you ask. It means really big. "Let us, I'm a really big person create man in our—really big—image." What good does that do? The plural even uses possessive of the word ‘image. "The Lord our God is one Lord." Some always repeat the Shema back to you, even if it is not the Shabbat. It is from Deuteronomy 6:4: "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord." They go right back to that. "The Lord our God is one Lord." You know what it is call but I you might not but you and I know echad. We use it every day. It means more than one." And they always turn back and say, "Some might ask for an example. Genesis 2:24. The Bible says a man shall leave his father and mother, cleave to his wife and the two shall be echad, one flesh." Apparently two can be one in some sense. So God has to be more than one. And they always say, "More than one what?" Readers, there is only one God. There never has been more than one God. There are not three Gods. We do not believe that. There is only one God. But this God exists in three distinct persons as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit without ever doing any injustice to the unity which all three of those persons enjoy as one God. I hope that everybody is paying attention because this is imperative to understanding.Ask a person the following question "What is Christianity based on?" They will respond by saying, "The death and resurrection of Christ Jesus is the central issue." There are a lot of us who have done a lot of theological studies who come back to saying that the real watershed, besides the Bible being the word of God, is the trinity of God. If you get messed up with the Trinity it will result with a skewed view of who Jesus is. It is will also skew your view of the death and the resurrection of Christ. And so the root issue of Christianity may, in fact, be the trinity of God. This means that the Jehovah's Witnesses and our Jewish friends are correct in saying, "That is the real issue between us and you evangelical Christians." I do not fight them on that because I agree with them that the trinity one of the central issues. I will tell them that they are exactly right. Then they go on to say, "You guys made it three Gods." "Excuse me. We don't believe in three Gods. We only believe in one God." And so that doctrine affects everything else. I would not build the case for the presence of my Lord Jesus Christ in the Old Testament on plural pronouns alone. You need all the arguments. But let us, just for a moment to wrap up this point, look at the book of John. This is one of the easier books you can take and go from Greek back to Hebrew. It is simply Jewish and it is filled with Jewish statements and phrases and contrasts. In John 1:1, he tells us, "the Word was God." Now, I will not go over that again. Verse 14 says, "He became flesh," but not "He was flesh." The word used for "became" is ginomai, which means a change of condition. This is the key text assuming the preexistence of Christ in the New Testament. "He became flesh," which means that: He was in existence previously to becoming flesh.Now in John 6:51—just to show you a few things here—Jesus said, "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread he shall live forever. And the bread I will give is my flesh which I give for the life of the world." That is pretty strong talk, is it not? John 6:62, "What and if you shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before." Do you understand that the New Testament is agreeing to His preexistence? Jesus said, "I was the living bread that came down from heaven." He was in heaven before. And in 6:62, "What if you see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before." So you see, the New Testament clearly teaches the preexistence of Christ. There is many more references that lets us no that Christ Jesus existed before He became flesh then if that is understood it is clearly understood that the Holy Spirit existed as well before the formation of creation. This particular information is very important for the foundation building in several areas. It demonstrate the understanding of the awesome power of our God as well as the ability to produce a vast creation within the same likeness as well giving us a look at what is to come. I know a little of that might sound strange but we as Christians today look forward to the second coming as well as those that were before us look for the coming of the Messiah. The difference is that they saw what they were looking for and we see the evidence of what we are waiting for and that gives us the same faith that Moses and Abraham had as well as the rest of the prophets of old. Besides the fact that Christ Jesus came to seek and save those which was lost as well as fulfill the scriptures there is one more piece of evidence that is needed pertaining to His appearance. One of the reasons that Jesus came into this world was to show us what God is like, because God is invisible. With your physical eyes you cannot see God. With the eyes of faith you can see a lot about God, and one day God is going to give us the privilege of looking on the face of His incarnate Son. Revelation 22 tells us that we will see His face. He is the invisible God. The word "invisible," is used five times of Him in the Bible.Turn to Colossians 1. What are we talking about? He is the revelation of the invisible God. He reveals who God is. “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things [preexistence], and by him all things consist [They hold together]. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell.” (Colossians 1:15-19)That is an incredible passage. Every image is a likeness, but every likeness is not an image. An image is an exact reproduction. If you see two twins, you would say that they look alike, but one is not the image of the other. Why is a son in the image of his father? When Adam begat sons in Genesis 5 it says they were in the image of Adam. This is genetically true. Your DNA is in the image of your parents. Let me say it again. Every image is a likeness, but not every likeness is an image.In the case of Jesus, "He is the image of the invisible God." He is the revelation of the invisible God, but, number two, He is a complete representation of the invisible God.In John 14:8-9, Philip said, "Show us the Father and it sufficeth us." In other words, "We’ll be happy if you just show us the Father." What an audacious, arrogant statement that was. Jesus turned to Philip and said, "He that has seen Me has seen the Father." He is the complete representation of the invisible God. In Hebrews 1:3, another very important passage, it says of Him, "Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person." The New American Standard Bible translates it as "exact reproduction."Let me give you an example. If I had some clay with me here and I had an instrument like a stamp to do an experiment for visual aid. If I pushed the stamp into the clay and pulled it out, what is left is the image. It is the exact reproduction. It was the exact thing that was implanted in that. Now, if I have a piece of paper and try to just draw out of my mind what that image looks like, my drawing is a likeness, but it is not the image. The image was planted in the clay. Jesus Christ is not simply a likeness, but the image of the invisible God. That is quite a statement. Now armed with the information so far we have collected gives us a wonderful gathering of the revelation in many different parts but the key is to make it as clear as possible so there will be a powerful impact of the revelation upon all that reads and understand that this gives birth in the spirit. It is interesting with just looking at the definitions we see how one word is formed to be used in almost everything know wonder how God’s people are confused as well as distorted in the realm of family understanding. I want you to know that what ever is that represent God the enemy does everything to distort it. The word of God is pure which cannot be distorted so enemy attacks the deliver as well as the teachers as well as attack from the beginning so that you start from the wrong area. So what definition is the one for family that delivers the true essence of what God’s intention was from the start? Before you answer that let me give you one more definition from another reference for family: the institution of God lying at the foundation of all human society. It is monogamous or the practice or state of being married to one person at a time, in nature. (The New Combined Bible Dictionary and Concordance) The Bible speaks of family in several different areas but all with the same basic principles so if we missed this then we are not receiving the full revelation or the full magnitude of the practice in our lives. Have you ever been deceived for so long that when you hear or find the truth you don’t believe it or the truth is never found or stays hidden. How many people have you met in your life or know of that is closer to you than what you consider as family. Now with that thought being explored that kick the definition of some that say that family is blood because that definitions is not a workable theory because you your self can say you have some that are family that is not blood line connected in the sense of our parents or theirs. How about this have you ever had someone try to explain something to you and you was not getting it and they responded by saying “I thought we was family” all of this is interesting. As if when they say that they figure you suppose to automatically understand or believe what they are saying. How did it make it feel, what thought pattern was triggered when you heard that? Now for me there is just one definition that gives both spiritual and physical understanding that gives me the revelation for which I am open to the revelation of entire essence of family in all areas of my life. Family means: “all those descended form a common ancestor: lineage” and this is part of the foundation. You see knowing what one thing is and knowing how this function is different. The combined combination of knowing them both together is the beginning of the revelation. If we look at the definition then how is exactly do this brings together all the information gathered and how is it that this brings the fullness of God’s intention form the beginning? Now this is where the fun begins in the putting together an eternal tool that will be with me for ever and it will become one of my favorite tools. If it was not for the understanding and the gathering of information that the revelation would not have appeared let us take a look. The existence of God is one God that we believe that can manifest Himself in three areas for which we were created in the likeness of and we have the same attributes but the exact distribution. Let me explain, if in the beginning God was that will make the understanding that all existed with Him. Father, Son, Holy Ghost. The question is what was the relationship like as separate but one? Picture this Father being all in all and everything in everything which gives the revelation that upon representation of the separation of Himself he begot His own Son. This is where some pagan worshippers place another female God in the sky because of the carnal small mind thinking that the only way to reproduce was that there had to be in the midst of it a woman. Interesting how they take parts of the Holy word and use it to what they want and leave the rest. We as members of the Body of Christ understand that the revelation is in the entire word of God and we have to bring the entire thing together. We know that blood is an inner connection by way of life within bringing us forth in the family of God. It is the blood that brings us back into the family for which we were separated. You see since to fall of man where sin entered into the world we became as loved outsiders as if we were not in the family but outcast. Still as outcast or children astray the Father wants us back as if the compassion over whelms Him to bring His children home. But what is so remarkable is that the Father knowing all things this was the plan from the beginning. The Bible says: “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” (Romans 11:33-36) These verses let us know that we are not the beginning He is and we cannot match His knowing and His knowing is of all. He knew us before we were even born the Bible says: “Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.” (Isaiah 44:2) The word lets us know that He formed us knew us before we even knew who we are. As knowing all things for His children His creation wanted us to stay with Him as a Father being committed to His children. The only expectable thing or object or person that could do that would be a Father to bring the children back home by first providing a way for us to get back and secondly the way would have to be through His exact measure to make sure we wanted to be there. As if our redemption was not only for our coming home but also letting us know that the Father knows all and is real and wanted us home. So He sent a piece of Him in the representation of the life line in himself as a life line for us back home if we wanted to be there. In order to do that we had to be brought back in the best way possible that will give us full acceptance back without blemish. This was all work out before hand but the understanding of the magnitude of the situation is the focusing point to grasp the reality of the manifest act within the physical realm. You see in order to bring the children home the bloodline had to be purged back to its original state and this could have been done several many ways. One God could have said it and it would have been done or restarted over with creation but it was the Father love that brought unto us the releasing of the true essence of family for family. Before we go any further I want to explain the word “essence” and the particular connection it have to the entire concept of the book especially within this particular area. The word “essence” means: the basic nature (of something), a concentrated substance that keeps the flavor, etc. of that from which it is extracted,: (Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus Second Edition) This particular word describe everything for which this entire book is based on as well as enhances the significant of this particular thought. To go back where we were extracted from the basic nature of our existence we had to be presented with a complete transfusion of blood. This transfusion had to be able to take all our blood out of the housing it was end then purify the house then clean the blood and then put it back now God himself I believe if this was the way he wanted to do it, it could have been done. That would not been sufficient because it would have been release at the moment you received salvation and that would have been an influence to the actual ability of accepting by faith. Faith is the substance of things not seen to be exact the Bible says: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” (Hebrews 11: 1-3) So this gives us the principle of the understanding of family. You see within the awesomeness of our Lord and Savoir all is known as well as all is for His glory. We are His glory His children that some are outcast for which He wants home but the choice have to be ours but the way was sent by Him from the beginning. Let me explain how all this come together. The Bible says: “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2Corinthians 4:18) This let us know that what we fix our eyes on our hope on is the eternal Father which is invisible to the naked eye but the Lord fixed His heart on us and the Love is what set the motion into action. The Bible says: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:3-6) From the beginning this plan was indeed in the planning because of the love of the creator for His creation. Now the interesting part is that we were made in the likeness of God Almighty He and this is the key. You see The Father is that of everything for which we cannot even begin to fine words to describe Him but it was the heart that brought us to redemption for which is the same thing that set in motion the adoption back to our essence. The Lord took what was the only thing was needed to bring us back to our original position as the glory of God. God took His heart by way of His power and sent us a redeemer that was the exact representation of God the perfect image which was the only way we could come back to our true nature. In order for us to understand how this all work let me explain. The Father knew the down fall be fore the down fall and before the creation of His glory so with the heart man was brought unto righteousness as the Father birth forth by His power from His comfort His Son. So the relationship was that the Father is the head and the comforter and power of God gave birth unto the Son of God which there was know need of woman because His Son had to be exact representation of the Father in the Spirit. This is the representation of the perfect love for the son because it is the Father and it was birth by the power and comforter of God. What a wonderful revelation because that gives us clarity about our understanding of family. We were created in the likeness as the Father loved us so much that the perfect likeness he possessed us with. Regardless of gender race or color we all are the fashion of the likeness. Are body represent the housing of the heart of God and in that housing will be delivered the power and comforter of the Father. This is the ultimate family The representation of the Father and the birth of God’s power and comforter that gives place for the Son. You see the Bible says: “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.” (Matthew 12:30-32) Now this is where many get confused and instead of looking for the revelation they assume the interpretation. This scripture is the foundation of the entire concept of the principle to our relationship to the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost as well as the connection between each other. Let explain and I want you to receive the fullness of the scriptures. Notice in Matthew 12:30-32 that it points directly to the manner of sin as well as the manner for which will not be forgiven. You can blasphemy and sin for which will be forgiven except against the Holy Spirit. Lets take a look at the word “blasphemy” the definition first which is: “Blasphemy (Greek blaptein, "to injure", and pheme, "reputation") signifies etymologically gross irreverence towards any person or thing worthy of exalted esteem. In this broad sense the term is used by Bacon when in his "Advancement of Learning" he speaks of "blasphemy against learning". St. Paul tells of being blasphemed (1 Corinthians 4:13) and the Latin Vulgate employs the word blasphemare to designate abusive language directed either against a people at large (2 Samuel 21:21; 1 Chronicles 20:7) or against individuals (1 Corinthians 10:30; Titus 3:2). MEANINGWhile etymologically blasphemy may denote the derogation of the honour due to a creature as well as of that belonging to God, in its strict acceptation it is used only in the latter sense. Hence it has been defined by Suarez as "any word of malediction, reproach, or contumely pronounced against God: (De Relig., tract. iii, lib. I, cap. iv, n. 1). It is to be noted that according to the definition (1) blasphemy is set down as a word, for ordinarily it is expressed in speech, though it may be committed in thought or in act. Being primarily a sin of the tongue, it will be seen to be opposed directly to the religious act of praising God. (2) It is said to be against God, though this may be only mediate, as when the contumelious word is spoken of the saints or of sacred things, because of the relationship they sustain to God and His service. Blasphemy, by reason of the significance of the words with which it is expressed, may be of three kinds. It is heretical when the insult to God involves a declaration that is against faith, as in the assertion: "God is cruel and unjust" or "The noblest work of man is God". It is imprecatory when it would cry a malediction upon the Supreme Being as when one would say: "Away with God". It is simply contumacious when it is wholly made up of contempt of, or indignation towards, God, as in the blasphemy of Julian the Apostate: "Thou has conquered, O Galilaean".
Again, blasphemy may be (1) either direct, as when the one blaspheming formally intends to dishonor the Divinity, or (2) indirect, as when without such intention blasphemous words are used with advertence to their import. Blasphemy is a direct refusal or direct dishonor to God for which is delivered by the possession of the Holy Spirit. Just a little more information on a couple of words first “comforter” and then mother then after that I believe you will see the exact nature of the family. The word “comforter” means: (root word comfort) vt. {{< L com., intense. +fortis, strong}} to soothe in distress or sorrow: console ----n. 1. relief from distress, etc. 2. one that comforts 3. a state of or thing that provides ease and quiet enjoyment : (Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus Second Edition) The word “mother” means: n. {{ OE modor}} a female parent 2. the origin or source of something 3. [often] a woman who is the head (mother superior) of a religious establishment ----adj 1. of or like a mother 2. native [mother tongue] ---vt to be the mother of 2. to care for as a mother does: (Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus Second Edition) Now I know this is a lot of information together but I want to make sure that the information is before you so you will be able to study it and see the different variation of the information especially the words and their meanings. This is very important because the most vital thing is the complete understanding of the information in order to see the essence of the true nature of the intention of the Father. Now I want you to be clear on this that Christ Jesus is a comforter that is an attribute of Him why because it was in The Father and the power that possess that is what is call a mother heart. In Isaiah 66 for me this is the only place where Christ Jesus is represented by the Holy Word as being this representation. The Bible says: “Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.” (Isaiah 66:10-14) Look at how the comforter gives the explanation of comfort unto the children of Israel. The Lord told them that he will send the comforter and He will comfort them all in the same breath because He possessed both. The ability to produce it and the ability to send it unto where ever He wants to. Notice what Christ told His disciples upon His ascension the Bible says: “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” (Luke 24:45-49) What was the promise for which Christ was speaking of the Bible says: “Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:” (Isaiah 44: 1-3) Did this power from up high come did the comforter come the Bible says: “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Act 2: 1-4) So what was promised was sent but what was sent was not authored by Christ Jesus but by the Father and this is it origin. That is the definition of mother see the Father represent the characteristics of fatherly and motherly heart and the motherly heart is what sent when the great compassion is sent out to us. So when we reject the Holy Spirit we are rejecting the Love of God and that is disrespectable to the very reason for existence as well as our own ability to pass on and get into order. So refusing what is your natural intension is turning to something you are not and that what makes that unforgivable. Now with that information gives some clarity to a whole lot of scriptures as well as wake up a lot of thoughts that have not yet been explored by you. That is a whole different topic but before we go on I would like to explain this so that we all are on the same wave link. In the Old Testament we know that they were looking for the coming of the Messiah and in this Messiah will be a new kingdom. Most thought it would be an earthly kingdom but it was both but most missed it. Now they had to keep sacrificing as well as do many things not because of the thing that they was doing it was what they were sacrificing stop producing the cleansing blood. It was unable to live on and constantly carry the sin to the cleansing power. You and I have the blood of the Lamb of God the one made of Him that is able to carry all sin that is present past, as well as further. So they served the same God but had different regulations and the Old unlock the key to the New. So now let us bring together all the information that we have to reveal the revelation of family. The word of God says: “And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1: 25-27) Now we are created in the image or the likeness of God and what is the likeness of God which is the principle of the concept of the relationship between God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Everything was created through Christ so we know that there is nothing that was created after Christ that was separated from Him. We also know that we serve one God one Lord he shares His glory with no one. If is as if God gave us the miraculous picture of the foundation of relationship as well as to understanding of Family. God is the outter part as Jesus was birth given by the Father out of the power of His compassion and love for the comforting of His creation. God Almighty being the character of father and mother being all power and the source of everything housed His comfort for us as well as love in such magnitude in the Holy Spirit that gave birth unto the world to see the Lord of Host His only begotten Son. Christ being obedient at all time unto His Father as His Father is loving Him and comforting Him and giving Him what is due unto Him so the grasping for us to see this in the ability we can is in the “Family” true understanding. God head family is the perfect example for you and me because all God has done, and have been doing, and still is for you and me the true essence of the foundation of family. Now to get the full revelation of “Family” and receive it for our lives we have to understand several things. First of all I want you to know that we are a family within our self, body, mine, and soul/heart/spirit. With the likeness of God family we are the likeness but our make up is different. God Himself is a spirit for which He is everywhere and everything as well as the creator of everything and everyone. All parts of God are holy without any thing that can prepare. God’s the Head of the family and everything worships Him and He shares He’s glory with know one. So for our small concept we will look at it like God is the body. His only begotten Son is His very own image. Jesus Christ is the exact representation of God the very essence of who God is and gave birth unto Him, Jesus Christ for the simple reason of Love. So for our understanding we will say that Jesus is not only the Heart/blood of God the entire DNA match of God. We know that in order for ourselves to be in proper health or to have proper organs we must believe that out blood flow is the most powerful thing and we believe in that with God’s family. To understand the concept of the Holy Spirit we must truly know that the Holy Spirit is the Breath of God. Now this is the first family within the creator of family all holy all righteous all pure and there has never been or never will be a blemish nor sin within God’s family. God is the perfect parent, teacher, love giver, gentleness, counselor, listener and much, more. That is the representation in heaven. With you and me, we have the same principle but not the exact properties that the formation of God have. In the Old Testament we see the formula for the building of the inner family with the same likeness of God but different properties. God formed man out of nothing. The Bible says: “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7)Now I want you to see the formula and the different properties in us that are the likeness of God. First is how we were formed. We were formed in the beginning from the dust of the earth the waste of the earth. God took nothing and made something out of it. If we were to understand the form of man the ability to even comprehends the ability to turn clay into a housing form that will be able to become living. The likeness if there, God’s vastness is nothing that can describe to us in the form for us to understand but we were made from nothing. God is holy but now here is the twist some theologians will tell you that Adam knew no sin when he was created as if the world knew know sin because sin had not yet entered into the world. Here is another look as well if the world knew know sin then were was Satan cast down to along with the third of the angels that left with him. If we believe that the angels have come down to earth then earth knew sin because of the presence of Satan not because his sin was committed here on earth because the deceptive heart of the adversary or the idea of the deception was in him and he touched earth. So what is the importance here is this area understanding enough that reveals the building of man. Let’s take a look at the information God know the entire picture so would it not be in reason to believe that He knew that coming of sin. If that thought be vital then it must be in reason the grand understanding that the outer shield we have God knew that it would be worth nothing. So our properties are different but the likeness is the same. We have a physical body to represent the casing of the likeness of God. Not that God has an outer shell as the form we have it but it is a representation of the vastness of God because we are simply made form nothing that demonstrate the awesome power of God. By Adam being formed after the down fall of the third of heaven then there was nothing that linked the newly created to the fall of the wicked in heaven. This was an event that took place after the Lord God created the earth so if it took place afterwards then it is reasonably to understand that at the time God created it He form it perfectly and sinless. So in the beginning it is logical that Adam was sinless. Now that keeps us in the realm of the heavenly host because God family is sinless. That will not keep us after sin nor will it be continued after sin because the Bible clearly states that: “For I delight in the law of God after the inward man”: (Romans 7:22) The Bible also says: “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” (2Corinthians 4:16) In many passages of the Bible it is clear that God looks inward and not out ward so all of revelation comes booming out. God created man out of dust with a miraculous power as well as a fantastic event but it was nothing just a housing case. This is very interesting bit of information, so how are we created in the likeness of God. First we were formed by God’s hand and formed by the ground of the earth the waste the dust so the most interesting thing is that it gives know description on if God form the inner organs or what but we know that in playing at the beach that it is reasonable that certain things cannot be form by sand so certain things are the presence of the Lord in each of us now. Then He breath in the nostril the breath of life into man with that concept we have formed there is were the transformation of the likeness of God in its truest form. Now look at this if we believe that we are created in the likeness of God but the only exact image of God in the truest form is Christ Jesus we have to some likeness or something the same way in principle or parts or even pattern. Once the breath of life was breath in to us it brought a living soul so we know that in the Beginning the power of God is in each of us because in order to become a living soul it took the breath of God. God breath was the power delivered and in the beginning it was the power for which Christ was present and took His natural place that was the heart/blood of Adam and the power of God was the receiving of His breath that filled him with life. So our heart/blood today is the housing for the Son of Man which takes our spirit and transforms it and fills us with the power of God then the traveling is upward from there. God is the Head, so our thoughts are the head of our action. In our hearts is the truth but our mind have to except the spirit of the heart, blood, spirit. That will bring our body under submission to the spirit, which will cause us to look at not what is around us or what is going on but to look upward to God Himself and profess our love. So we have the same likeness but ours work from the inside out and God works from the outside in we have different properties but similar likeness because we possesses a similar family within us and if we cannot get that family we possess then how can we grasp a family concept any place else. This brings a lot of revelation to what Paul explained about sin because when sin entered into the world this brought the concept to a complete revelation unto the concept of an inward family. Paul writes to the Romans: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” (Romans 7:18-25) With those verses we see the magnitude with the knowledge gained we see the revelation that within us we have a family that is in most desperately need of the truth as well as the revelation of the knowledge of God in our lives. I want you to see this, the Bible says: “Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2Corinthians 4: 14-18) So we see the fantastic revelation of who God is and the relationship between the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost as one of the greatest family relationship that have ever been given unto man. The perfect family for which we learn that the likeness is within us that we have to bring heart/spirit together with Jesus Christ in our lives that will call our mind that controls our action into submission unto the one knowledge of God then our inner family is not in order. If we do not understand the inner family or the eternal family we will never have the concept of the earthly family and the exact essence of the greatest institution that God given to man. Perfect harmony comes with perfect peace that comes only through knowing that God family is perfect as it is the example for our first family to get in order to give that to our earthly family. This is the most vital understanding we can have to bring together our spiritual life into the physical place for others to see and say “What must I do to have what you have?” Remember family is simply: “the basic foundation of relationship of those that are founded with God at the center.” With out God there is just a group of people recognized by the same name or group identity. Now the most important question is how is it that we are in the family of God and that is a great question so I can give you the greatest principle about you and me today in the Body of Christ. I want you to know that separation form God is not of God it is the deception from the enemy and that deception has destroyed so many and now it is time to bring into the light. We have to realize that the Father throughout the love He have for you and me has given unto us the way to be redeem back for which we was created to receive the greatest peace as well as comfort that has ever been promised unto God’s people. That comfort comes from the author of peace for which only God can give us for eternity. So what is the principle of the understanding for you and I to get back where we belong. You know there is an old Jewish saying “God knew he could not be everywhere so He created mothers” that saying being not totally true but give the essence to the greatest revelation of the comforter. We are like children looking for he comforting of being in the arms of the possessor of the peace we seek for which mothers can only give for a moment a little while where God can give unto us for ever. So we seek that through all kind of ways and we are looking in the wrong places but this is what the enemy do is to distort the truth and take us away from what we are looking for to give it to us only temporary so that we stay looking in the wrong place. So we all are looking for he same thing but we all are not looking for it in the same way but how is it that God prepared for this that we all can fine it. In my life I was always looking for the love of my mother in way that I could understand never hearing the words I love you or never seeing the words in action I was most definitely confused. Once I was able to understand what was going on around me the realization was true in my house hold that I did not belong there. I still see the images in my mind of the things said unto me as well know one even knowing out side the house the things going on within the house. You see within my self I was in turmoil because my heart wanted one thing my mind wanted something else and the only place I was looking was anywhere but where I was but never up. The order within the house was out of whack as if the whole situation was a bad nightmare for me. I was the oldest of those that came there with me but the target of everything unstable in the house. Understand the reality of never been told that you are loved as a kid and only way of explaining anything is with the force of fear and the force of pain in your life. Knowing that nothing you do was not good enough nor was it the proper way because you don’t even have the concept of what is right. You attempt to fight back the best way you can by taking the only thing that was in your mind the most precious thing to the members of the body there. You wanted to attack the one that gave the most fear in a way that they would heart as you heart and I did that. I stole money and simply gave it away not that I wanted it but that it would hurt. Within I wanted know type of relationship with the members there so as a child I had to chose who I wanted in my life as well as who I did not want in my life. Imagine the difficulty in that for a child. My whole thought process is to eliminate everything from life as well as everyone that is suppose to bring fulfillment and teaching as well as love compassion and none of this is given. I learned early that love is when someone is doing something for you and I grab hold to that concept. This was interesting as I begin to grow because I based everything on that. I heard a many of times that I put food on the table and buy your clothes as well as pay the bills and was told that why would you be with some one that can not give you any thing which referred to money. The exact contents I will not expose but the essence of it I will and this building block or this type of mental training I was totally confused. I was told Do not lie and then on the other hand when things got out of hand I was told to lie in order to cover those that I wanted know contact with and you know what was the greatest tool was that I was told it was my fought when those people got out of line. So in my understanding this was what I deserved for being here and this is what you will get in the world. Wanting the peace and the love of the people in the house turned quickly to hatred and wanted to destroy every one in the house and how can a child live with that. Can you get the concept of how we do anything to get what are instinct is automatically looking for by any means available. Why do a women stay with an abusive person or why do you not tell of sexual assault? Simple there is two reasons one is of fear and the other is that is they way you except being loved. Of course there are different degrees in both answers but the great principles are there. God knowing all of this set in course long before we were born the victory over this only if it is applied. So how do we find it to be in the place where we say we belong the Bible says: “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?”(Romans 8:22-24) Now this is the greatest principle for you and I ever given unto us. In the verse previously the active word there is “adoption” and this holds much power. I want you to know that I was adopted and I have found out that the reason I was adopted was not actually for he love of children in my mind it was simply for the money and I never wanted to be a subject only for a means to survive. Today I know that the revelation in such a word is so powerful that it is do over looked. As all ways we are going to gather information in order to see the revelation. The word “adoption” means: “(root word adopt) [[ L. ad, to + optare, to choose]] 1. to take legally into one’s own family and raise as one’s own child 2. to take as one’s own 3. to choose or accept –adoption n.: (Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus Second Edition) In another reference adoption means: “n 1: the act of accepting with approval; favorable reception; "its adoption by society"; "the proposal found wide acceptance" [syn: acceptance, acceptation, espousal] 2: a legal proceeding that creates a parent-child relation between persons not related by blood; the adopted child is entitled to all privileges belonging to a natural child of the adoptive parents (including the right to inherit) 3: the appropriation (of ideas or words etc) from another source; "the borrowing of ancient motifs was very apparent": (WorldNet Dictionary) Just one more definition for adoption: “the giving to any one the name and place and privileges of a son who is not a son by birth. (1.) Natural. Thus Pharaoh's daughter adopted Moses (Ex. 2:10),
and Mordecai Esther (Esther 2:7). (2.) National. God adopted Israel (Ex. 4:22;Deut. 7:6; Hos. 11:1; Rom. 9:4). (3.) Spiritual. An act of God's grace by which he brings men into the number of his redeemed family, and makes them partakers of all the blessings he has provided for them. Adoption represents the new relations into which the believer is introduced by justification, and the privileges connected therewith, viz., an interest in God's peculiar love (John17:23; Rom. 5:5-8), a spiritual nature (2 Pet. 1:4; John 1:13), the possession of a spirit becoming children of God (1 Pet. 1:14; 2 John 4; Rom. 8:15-21; Gal.
5:1; Heb. 2:15), present protection, consolation, supplies (Luke 12:27-32; John 14:18; 1 Cor. 3:21-23; 2 Cor. 1:4), fatherly chastisements (Heb. 12:5-11), and a future glorious inheritance (Rom. 8:17,23; James 2:5; Phil. 3:21). (Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary) There are many scriptures that show the relationship as well as the grasping of the reality that God’s adoption is to bring us back unto Him which was ordained from the beginning. The Bible says: “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1: 5-6) This was in the making from the start being redeemed by Christ Jesus and the family is connected through the cleansing of the regulation set forth by the Father. This shows that the Father being the Head as Christ being our mediator to the Father or the regulation in the flesh or for our understanding the Love of God. The Bible says: “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1Timothy 2:4-6) With the power of the Holy Spirits brings the authority that is given unto us as children of God. The Bible says: “For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.” (Romans 9:3-5) Also the Bible says: “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:4-6) The Bible also says: “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:4-6) The revelation of everything just explodes and gives us the most expressive principle for us in God’s word on the revelation of family. Once we are adopted we will receive our positioning in the family. The Bible says: “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:16-18) This is very powerful because it gives us our understanding of the family in the physical nature of our existence here in the earth. The power of God being the glue for which holds us and protect us as well as gives us power to withstand. The Bible says: “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” (Ephesians 4:15-16) Wonderful how God has given us the eternal and physical representation of the great institute of “Family” for which God gave unto His people. So we are the children of God to bring everyone unto the knowledge of God and not to let anyone perish but in order to do that we have to be build up strengthen. The bible let us know that we have tools in the family to teach and build us for God’s glory. The Bible says: “(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” (Ephesians 4:9-16) Praise God for the revelation for which God given us in His word for us to bring that light unto the world. We are the children of God by way of adoption through love which was manifest itself in the physical because of love by the Father expressed by Jesus Christ in the event of the death, burial, resurrection that is transformed in the heart of man that through the blood of Christ Jesus the regulation of the Father was fulfilled. This was done simply through the knowledge of the Father knowing that sin would remove us from the family but through the power of His love Christ Jesus possessed with the love and power of God’s carrier the Holy Ghost we are now redeemed for ever without any more blood to be spread. The Father ordained it by way of His love and power through Christ Jesus delivered unto us by way of the Holy Ghost for us to take our natural place as children of God and possessing all authority of heirs of the Throne. Praise God for the essence of His family to bring us to the family to deliver unto the world. Now we are going to take a look at the positions of the family to clearly as well as effectively give the most we can to this earthly family that God gave unto us. The knowledge of God is powerful so the family with the knowledge carries the power to transform others as well as make a change in the world. You are that family so let us make a change in the world by giving our family the power and doing it in the divine order of God that the maximum blessings are upon the family.
