Known and Loved

Known and Loved

Everything wrong in the human race is because people haven’t experienced an all-encompassing perfectly loving God the way he intended. He created us to experience loving attachments which set children up to see God AS HE IS. But when children lack the reality of a loving father and mother connection, their ‘reality’ of God may feel like rejection and hopelessness. These roots end up branching off into rebellion, depression, anger, addiction, jealousy, hate and many more negative heart issues.

Feeling unloved, unwanted and misunderstood causes young people to act out negatively. Naturally they look for love in other ways but nothing satisfies the deep longing their souls that longs to be known and loved. Sadly, acting out deep rejection perpetuates more rejection. Eventually rejection rejects others as they become what they know. “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7. Hurting people often become hurtful people. 

On my own journey, and helping others on theirs, inner healing is all about discovering our intrinsic value, purpose and true identity. Even the best parents, spouses, counselors or friends can’t fully know everything about us and our destiny. We all need to encounter God’s perfect and unconditional love deep within. It’s a willingness to surrender to His love, to exchange the old beliefs and ways for the new. Once experienced, we are changed on the inside. If you know, you know. You’ve been spiritually adopted into His family. You are no longer orphaned or far away, but belong. You’ve been grafted into a new bloodline.

John 14:17-20. The Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.

Spiritual adoption changes your whole paradigm. You don’t have to pretend you’re someone you’re not. Shame is not how God rules his kingdom. He is the perfect Parent who understands “why.” His love is so perfect that you don’t want anything to cause disconnection. Those ‘lesser loves’ of addiction, vanity and imperfect humans, start to lose their power over us. His love is like a “high from the most high.” You know that you know, that you’re deeply loved and worth dying for. Jesus proved it.

Wise leaders and fathers understand this need for healthy family bonding, along with loving accountability that keeps people wanting to grow mature. This is the kingdom family Jesus came to earth to build ‘on earth as it is in heaven.’ Spiritual orphans, hungry for truth and love will come in droves to experience what they’ve longed for; loving connection and guidance. In today’s world, brave voices must oppose the corrupted ways they demand we raise our children. It’s clear their goal is to pervert God’s perfect design.

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Malachi 4:6.

For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in. Psalm 27:10

But the one who loves God is known by God. 1 Corinthians 8:3.

For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29.

For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage. Psalm 94:14.

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15.

By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:35.

God is love. His love brings peace. Let Him adopt you into His eternal family.

Whose are You?

 

Whose are You?

War is over territory, which is not only about land. Our minds, hearts and bodies can become territory for someone else to occupy, taking property that doesn’t belong to them. It may not look aggressive, as psychological warfare is sneaky. The innocent are easiest targets. Unless good leadership protects them, their developing identity and destiny is hindered.

Parents don’t always teach where we end and others begin. Boundaries keep people who are motivated by greed, jealousy and pride from stealing what doesn’t belong to them. James 3:16 says: For where jealousy and self-interest exist, there will be disorder and every evil thing.

Self-centered people see others as property to use for their own benefit. They may act charming and giving at first, luring their targets by deceiving them. These self-seeking narcissists ignore their victim’s needs. They manipulate and indoctrinate people into helplessness and hopelessness. Hebrews 6:19: There is hope that anchors the soul.

A lack of accountability leads to abuse of power whether it’s in families, institutions or governments. The younger it starts the harder it is to get back parts of yourself mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It’s not easy but possible with faith in a loving God. We can choose who to “belong” to and “connect” with and take back our territory.

Understanding spiritual government can get you on a fast track to restore what’s been stolen. This changes your whole paradigm if you’re open. As you work with His Justice system, you save yourself and loved ones much heartache. Caution: Dark forces may erupt as these truths offer hope to burdened souls, because “they” don’t want to lose the “home” they occupied.

Spiritual government involves trust at a heart level, (faith). A deeper and higher sense of “belonging” makes it easier to see God as He really is and who we are to Him. Isaiah 55:8 says His ways are higher.

When two hearts become one in a marriage covenant, they belong together exclusively. When a person receives Jesus into their heart, the bible says it’s a grafting in to the true Vine: Jesus. He awakens us to who we really are! A oneness happens. It’s like our hearts found our true home. 1 Corinthians 6:17. “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”

If you “belong” to Jesus, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21. You’ve been given keys of Supreme Authority to learn to use to re-present the Government of Jesus. The Bride of Christ is seated with Him in heavenly places, high above the dark influences of this lower world. Ephesians 2:6 “Greater is He in you than he that’s in the world.” 1 John 4:4.

We can take back rightful territory. In place of fear and oppression; love, freedom and peace dwell within. “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah. He will rule for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15.

The earth’s kingdoms are temporary, lower level governments. They can’t overthrow the Supreme government of God when we exercise our authority (as our King) leads. God is saying; “Let my people go!”

Tyrannical leadership rules by deception and false power. They create false narratives about the Kingdom of God they cannot control. Courageous voices are being silenced, bullied and slandered. They are threatened by those who know “who and whose” they are. Satan doesn’t want you to believe the truth because he will lose his “habitation.” He knows that God’s justice system is Supreme. He doesn’t want you exercise your true authority.

God’s Kingdom is drawing closer every day. It’s built on His perfect love and justice. His kingdom is coming on earth, just as it is in heaven. We are to be part of the process relationally.

Whose territory are you? Who do you belong to? What government protects you? Governments, spouses, or religion can’t be our savior. If you become a legal citizen of heaven, you will know the truth and the truth sets you free!! Who the Son sets free is free indeed. John 8:31-36. Know your true Savior and you’ll recognize your true enemy. Our day of reckoning has come!

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” The Art of War.
