What is the Father really like? The Father is not who religion or culture makes Him out to be. The Father is not an old man with a long white beard some Santa Claus type figure The Father is not an Old Testament angry distant deity who needs appeasing with animal sacrifices. The Father is not watching us waiting for us to get something wrong so He can punish us The Father is not one angry face of a two faced God of which Jesus is the good side of His nature. The Father is not a cosmic child abuser who killed His son to satisfy His anger and wrath The Father is not a torturer who will be tormenting His children forever because they did not do things His way The Father is not a parent who abandons disinherits and disowns His children when they choose to ignore Him. The Father is not a parent who turned His back on His son Jesus on the cross but one who went through it with Him The Father is not a disinterested creator who made everything and then let it unfold The Father is not a cosmic controller or script writer who sovereignly and fatalistically decided how everything should be and just sits and lets it all play out The Father is not a parent who has favorites amongst His children who has chosen some to be with Him forever and others to be separated from Him and punished forever The Father is not a cosmic heavenly sugar daddy that we can manipulate to give us anything we want by trying to please or appease Him with our good behavior or by our tantrums.
The Father has been misunderstood and misrepresented by religion to be someone who He is not. We can see the Father if we see the Son Jesus who is His express image and likeness and we can come to the Father for ourselves through Jesus the door The Father is fully represented in and by His son and is a loving caring compassionate dad who deeply desires for all His children to be in an intimate love relationship with Him He desires to constantly bless us because we are all the apple of His eye and the treasure of His heart. The Father is a loving parent who will never force His children to do anything but is patient, tolerant, kind and is waiting with joyful anticipation for our return to sonship The Father has a love for all His children that will never end, will never fail, will never give up and never be separated from His children The Father is passionate about all His children and is patiently working and waiting for all of them to return to an intimate loving relationship with Him The Father so loves all His children that He is constantly enabling all our choices and decisions even the worst and most stupid of them to produce something good and even be woven into the fulfilment of His heart’s desire.
The Father is my dad and is always available, is never too busy for Me, never leaves me, always wants the best for me, is always interested in me, always welcomes me into His open arms of love. My loving dad is the most wonderful, faithful, trustworthy, patient, kind, good, joyful, peaceful, fun loving, awesome Father who is always sharing His heart and thoughts with me and He is your dad to.
Son do not be concerned with the arguments of those who do not know Me face to face or with the deceptions of those who are conformationally biased because they have never allowed Me to deconstruct their minds. Once you have been in the circle of the dance you know there is only one conclusion that is love and what does 1 Cor 13 say about love? That it torments and punishes? No, but love is kind and bears all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is large in being passionate about life and relentlessly patient in bearing the offenses and injuries of others with kindness. Love is completely content and strives for nothing. Love has no desire to make others feel inferior and has no need to sing its own praises. Love is predictable and does not behave out of character. Love is not ambitious. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love sees no joy in injustice. Love’s delight is in everything that truth celebrates. Love is a fortress where everyone feels protected rather than exposed! Love’s persuasion is persistent! Love believes. Love never loses hope and always remains constant in contradiction. Love never loses its altitude!
Romans 8:35,37-39 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Son anything that contradicts love is a contradiction of My character. Anything that presents Me as anything other than love is a perversion of the truth. Any representation of Me that is not love is a lie. I am spirit, light, a consuming fire and above all love therefore love is spirit, light and a consuming fire.
Any characteristics that I have like righteousness and justice, and yes anger and wrath are full representations of love. Love is always patient kind and good therefore all My judgments and all My justice and all My anger and all my wrath must be and are fully love without any contradiction.
All My characteristics are restorative not retributive or punitive. I discipline and disciple My children not punish them and I will never be separated from them. I am is loves most prefect expression both in the old and new covenants as I am the same yesterday, today and forever.
Romans 2:4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? Romans 2:5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.
Yes, My passion is poured out in My righteous judgment which was first executed before the foundation of the world and re-enacted on the cross and was finally enacted in AD70 at the end of the old covenant system.
All My of judgment is an expression of My love and is designed to allow the consequences of individual choice to bring all to true metanoia. I will fiercely defend the right of My children to choose but I will fiercely enable good to come out of every choice. My love will never fail, never give up and will never allow My children to be separated from Me. My love is stronger than the death and the grave.
Song of Solomon 8:6-7 “Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the Lord. “Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised.”
Son My deepest desire is that all My children will fully participate in the circle of the dance (Perichoresis) to know My love in its most relational intimacy. I am is calling all our children to fully restored sonship so that they can live loved, love living and live loving. Creation itself is waiting for the revealing of the sons of love’s light to arise and shine with their glory fully restored. If we have not experienced God in this light and do not know the deepest levels of His love it is time to encounter love
Son, sonship is the only priority you need to set. When My children begin to take their heavenly places as sons then they will be able to discern My heart’s deepest desire which is the purity of relationship that will be experienced within the restoration of all My sons who arise.
Son, love is not just the essence of who I am but is to be the essence of who you are. If you really want the world to know Me they need to see love in action. When My children truly know Me they will love one another and the world they are part of and responsible for.
Religion in all its forms cannot truly represent love because it is not relational and therefore cannot reveal My true nature to the world. Love is not love if it is not otherly because love is not just about receiving it is primarily about giving. Love Me with all your being and then you will be able to able to love yourself and others but you can only love Me through relationship not concepts.
You must know Me to love Me. Relationship cannot be theoretical it must be the real interaction that occurs between us. I know you and I know everything about you now and I love you as I love all My children. Relationship was never meant to be one way. We are pure relationship in the dance of I am and we desire that all our children experience I am in intimacy within us within you.
Son that is why deep is calling to deep it is the call to know love in its purest essence without agenda or need. I am is calling, like the sound of many waters across all dimensions of time and space, to all the broken hearts and parts to come back to the wholeness only found in the oneness of I am.
The waterfall has many purposes but mostly it is to express love in such a way that it draws My children back to My heart as Father. I am calling you to come deeper My children into the depths of My loving heart. Come back to the beginning in face to face innocence and see yourself the way I am sees you and you will truly know yourself as My sons.
Psa 42:7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. The Father wants to meet us and take us deeper into Himself to reveal Himself to us at an even deeper level beyond understanding into pure bliss
Son this is love’s agenda where all things of the created order will be returned to relational connectedness within My unity. Our restored sonship affects the created order itself. So will we enter willingly into love’s agenda?
