The Children of God

Romans 8:

Mark 16

Here in his letter to the Apostolic Pentecostal Church in Rome, Paul is encouraging them in their Jewish and Gentile unity in Jesus Christ.

This was something previously unheard of or seen in regards to both groups living in harmony, with a common belief, in righteousness and holiness (Living lives that were set apart for our Creator and having a lifestyle that reflected that Him as His children/offspring).

The only other times of Jewish and Gentile unity that have been seen has been when The Jewish Nation at large compromised on their relationship with their G-d and Creator and gave into the beliefs and lifestyles of the nations and cultures around them.

This could be seen in things life their adultery, having relations outside the covenant of marriage (fornication), child sacrifice, and other types of unrighteous, unholy, perverted rebellious acts (sin).

They were unified in sin, that which is rebellion to and contrary to The Nature of our Creator.

Paul, through the opening pages of his letter, demonstrates how rebellion against our Creator (sin) is what all of mankind has in common, regardless of ethnicity, skin color, economic background, culture, etc.

As he continues to make his case, and point, he traces this rebellious trait all the way back to the first male of the human race, Adam (sorry Bro.

Adam).

Through Adam’s rebellion, by listening to the first rebel, Lucifer/satan, although he was created perfect and knew to listen to His Creator, he corrupted his gene pool by introducing rebellion into it.

This was equal to a man taking a hit of heroin for the first time after he just got done with the “I Do’s” of his wedding ceremony and before he consummated his marriage with his wife.

Adam introduced something into himself and his offspring that forever corrupted us, mankind.

Look at our individual choices, familial choices, national and societal choices, our global choices, and their outcomes.

Why can’t we seem to get it right?

Paul continues on and brings in the actions that our Creator has taken to counter the issue of human rebellion (sin) by becoming a man Himself, living a perfect life (which is the only acceptable type of life to Him because His very nature in perfection), and in His human nature (humanity), took the punishment for OUR rebellion(sin).

Think about how you would feel if you knew someone who was perfect.

How would you feel knowing that they will not fall under the perfect and right judgment of our Creator, but you will?

How about if that same Perfect person said that they would take the outcome of our Creator’s judgment on you if you allow them to help you transform your life, and then go extend that same pardon to all those you come in contact with everyday?

What would you say to that?

That is the reality of our lives.

This is the pivot point of Paul’s letter.

He is telling The Christians in Rome what their response should be now that they have partaken of that pardon from our Creator, and now our Savior from His Right and Perfect judgment.

Rooted in their Born Again/ New Birth Experience, Paule also explains what they have to look forward to.

The Christians in Rome did not have a “blind” faith, they had an “experienced” faith.

Although not recounted in the Biblical Church History Book of Acts, Paul was sure that the Church in Rome had obeyed Yeshua’s command of needing to be Born Again of water and The Spirit.

John 3:

Yeshua explained the water as being baptism in His Name (, , ).

The Spirit was a reference to The Holy Spirit, a first century Jewish was of referencing The One True and Only G-d of all creation, The G-d of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yisra’el.

John 7:37-39

And so we find ourselves back where we started, in part.

In one of our opening Scriptures, Paul says that creation eagerly awaits the revealing of the sons of G-d, speaking of our future transformation by G-d’s Spirit in and through us ().

Creation desires to be delivered, set free from the bondage of corruption due to makind’s sin/rebellion.

It wants to be let loose into the freedom of righteousness that will come when we are transformed ( v. 21).

But!

We had another Scripture.

Yeshua said we are to preach/proclaim the Good News (Gospel) to every creature!

\Yeshua said we are to preach/proclaim the Good News (Gospel) to every creature!

We’ll come back to verse 16.

Mark 16:17

Those who believe/trust in The Good News will have these signs follow them!

Most of these signs are the same ones Yeshua, The Son of G-d, did.

1

NOW are we the children of G-d!

Now if you haven’t seen Yeshua perform a sign or miracle through you yet, don’t worry.

Luke says that Yeshua started His ministry at about the age of 30 ().

But we also need to been living ever thriving, consecrated lives.

Reading, studying, fasting, praying.

We need congregational prayer, not just alter call, but when the doors open, praying together at our homes, over the phone.

There are things that will not happen unless we get to the place of coming together in this place with one Passion, one accord ().

It was the lack of some of these spiritual disciplines that Yeshua’s disciples couldn’t cast out unclean, demonic spirits ().

It was the lack of some of these spiritual disciplines that Yeshua’s disciples couldn’t cast out unclean, demonic spirits ().

Through our living dedicated and set apart lives unto Yeshua (consecrated), He builds our faith more easily, He begins to speaks to us on an almost daily basis as we read and pray, and helps us to understand The Scriptures by His Spirit within us.

If our relationship with Jesus is where it ought to be, and the hearts/minds/lives of the person we’re talking to is open to Jesus working in their lives, He will work with us as we preach ().

But Who’s a Preacher?!

We all are preachers of The Good News (Gospel).

would’ve been the 120 gathered together in Chapter 1 of Acts, including the 12 Shlicim, who were Yeshua’s hand picked talmidim!

This further increased to where in chapter 8 of Acts all The Church in Yerushalayim were scattered except HaShlichim!

Acts

Those who were scattered, hatalmidim, preached everywhere they went!

Remember that preaching is proclaiming or making known the Good News of what Yeshua has done.

Let’s see what this looks like.

Acts

In part we are proclaiming G-d’s reclaiming of this world and His judgment on wickedness and unrighteousness.

When Yeshua performs a sign, it’s just that a sign!

What is a sign for?

For us and the person for whom Yeshua worked it, it is the evidence of the reality of His coming Kingdom and judgment.

Luke 11:

We can us this talking point when tragedies and injustices take place, that Yeshua will exact proper justice one of these soon coming days.

In times of someone’s need, we can share with them Yeshua’s ability and willingness to help those who believe/trust The Word of G-d which we are sharing.

(Call musicians)

So what am I saying?

While we definitely have a future hope where creation will be delivered from its’ bondage under sins curse, there are creatures, people, that are waiting for the revealing of The Children of G-d! Now!

There are creatures, something that has been created by G-d that gets birthed into bondage to satan through their human flesh.

They want to be delivered, Now!

Although spoken by Yirmeyahu over 2600 years ago, it is very relevant for our day:

Jeremiah 8:8-

We live in a day of false priests and prophets that are hurting people

We live in a day of false teaching (doctrine) that are leading people right into their Creator’s Righteous and Perfect judgment

This is just what our Lord spoke of in .

Consecrate yourselves, set your life apart totally for Yeshua’s purpose for you!

Consecrate yourselves, set your life apart totally for Yeshua’s purpose for you!

Let The Sons of G-d Be Revealed!

Yeshua wants His children to step into their place of power and anointing where miracles are happening on the job, at the store, at home, on the streets.

That was the way Yeshua and His talmidim did it, in the open, not just in buildings.

Do you want/need to be set free from bondage?

Yeshua will free you, IF you let Him!

We are told by The Apostle Peter, Yeshua’s chief disciple so to say:

When people believed The Good News, they were ALWAYS BAPTIZED, and they were baptized in Yeshua’s Name, not His Titles.

Pray

Fast

Read

Study

We need the children of G-d

Don’t know how or why?

Want someone to do it with, let us know, that what we’re here for.
