The sons of God

Dear Friends,

I took some time off from blogging since July of this year because there have been some amazing things that God has been showing me, training me in, correcting me on and informing me of as of late.

I am so excited to share with you who truly are followers of Christ what Jehovah, the I AM that I AM has been sharing with my by his Spirit.

Jesus Christ and Him Crucified is so much more deeper than I could ever imagine when I first learned of the power we have in the resurrected Christ.

We begin as born again children of God through Jesus, then we are followers of Jesus, to disciples of Jesus, and then to servants of Jesus, to ministers of Jesus, but we cannot stop there.

We can become and have a right to be sons of God by being led by the Spirit of God.  In John 1:12, we were given power to "BECOME" sons of God, but what the Father has shown me (and is quite clear in scripture), that in order to "BECOME" sons of God, we MUST be led by the Spirit of God.  See Romans 8:14

In the past, I would read in the book of Job (Job 1:6 & 2:1) about how the sons of God would come to present themselves before God and I in my ignorance, I would speculate that the sons of God were the men of old who the bible speak of and are now gone on to heaven.  But, I never considered that those of us here and alive would be considered the sons of God.  How could we be?  We do not have our new bodies, we are not perfect, so how could we present ourselves before God as his sons?

Then, God opened my eyes to what he describes as sons of God, and told me to put away my definition.  At first it took a little time for me to understand that this privilege is mine if I will allow his Spirit to lead my life.  What I do, what I say, where I go, and so on!

Clearly this is part of our heritage in Christ Jesus to obtain.  Clearly many Christians are not walking as sons of God and this a reason (not the sum total) why many Christians live less than the abundant life Jesus gave himself for us to have on earth.  John 10:10

If we do not allow God the Spirit to lead us, then we are not sons of God.  Oh yes, we are still children of God if indeed we have received Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.  that is not the issue at hand. 

This session is looking into becoming sons of God and what that means by God's definition.  If not sons of God, then how can we present ourselves before him!  There has to be something special God wants for us and from us in this presentation, or he would no have put this in his word.  Dare we discover what a son of God does in presenting themselves before God?  Dare we?  I say let's endeavor to partake of this special inheritance.

Why is it so important to become sons of God?  How come being a child, a follower, a disciple, a servant, and/or a minister of the Lord Jesus is not enough?

Well, I am glad you asked and I will ask you a question.  Why would you choose to leave on the table (as it were) anything God has for you to partake of?  Remember, all good and perfect gifts come from God!

God said that he has given us power to become the sons of God (John 1:12), but it is up to us to allow Holy Spirit to lead us (Romans 8:14).  Can we still experience God's presence even if we are not led by God's Spirit?  Of course, God loves us and he will never leave us or forsake us.  But what are we missing out on by not taking part in the fullness of what he planned for us?

"I press towards  the mark of the high calling of God..." is what Apostle Paul said of himself.  Paul decided to get everything God had for him.  He went all out when he worked for Satan by killing Christians and persecuting them.  Then when Jesus changed his life, he determined to go full force in working for God.

It is a choice that we have to make for our ourselves daily.

What are we determining in our Christian life?  Is our goal just getting by to get into heaven?  Or can we see that there is so much more God has for us through Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.  Jesus said that he had to go to the Father or else he could not send God's Spirit.  Have we simply ignored the Spirit of God and what his assignment is here on earth.  Jesus knew that it was mighty important for God's Spirit to come and help us.

Let's not any longer turn away our Helper, Comforter, Teacher, Intercessor, and Leader into all truth.  Holy Spirit is here right now waiting for you to invite him in to lead you into becoming the sons of God!

Do not try to figure it all out.  All we need do is surrender and say, "Holy Spirit you have my permission to come into my life and perform your assignment given you from God to lead my life in Christ Jesus.  I am letting go and I am now allowing you to lead me into becoming a son of God and all the privileges I have in Christ Jesus my Lord in my sonship.  Thank you Holy Spirit."

Now, be sure to read the scriptures, meditate God's law, praise and thank him, delight yourself in the Lord, acknowledge him as God, and receive his guidance.  Trust God to open your eyes and see and walk in your sonship beginning today!

Always remember that we are ambassadors for Christ - II Corinthians 5:20
