I am sharing Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food" devotional again today. This is another very vital concept for every born again believer to get strongly inside!
Family
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. —
JOHN 1:12,13
No truth in all the Bible is as far reaching as the blessed
fact that when we are born again we come into the family of God! God the Father
is our Father!
He cares for us! He is interested in us — each of us
individually — not just as a group, or a body, or a church. He is interested in
each of His children, and He loves each of us with the same love.
However, our Heavenly Father is not the Father of everyone,
as some supposed. Jesus said to some very religious people, “Ye are of your
father the devil . . .” (John 8:44). Yes, God is the Creator of all
mankind, but a man must be born again to become His child. He is God to the
world, but Father only to the new creation man.
God is your very own Father. You are His very own child. And
since He is your Father, you can be assured that He will take a father’s place
and perform a father’s part. You can be certain that as your Heavenly Father,
God loves you, and He will take care of you.
Confession: I am born of God. I am born into God’s
family. God the Father is my Father. I am His very own child. He is my very own
Father. He loves me. He provides for me. He takes care of me.
AMEN! I AM, and YOU ARE, HIS FAMILY, IF we have received JESUS as our own personal LORD and SAVIOUR! The very best family connection we will ever have! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "Indescribable":Shalom in Him!
