It’s vital that we catch the powerful truth that God is a loving Father. If we don’t receive that in our hearts, we will always struggle with guilt, shame, condemnation and fear. The enemy of our souls uses fear, doubt and condemnation to make us feel like God is angry at us and wants to punish us. Yet, it is the enemy that want to destroy us. God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to save us and to adopt us into His family. Luke 12:32 says: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”. Did you just read that? It is His pleasure! He rejoices to see us as part of His family. He loves to converse with us and walk with us. He loves when we relate to Him as our Father. He is the one who taught us to call Him Father. His Kingdom is awesome! In His Kingdom, there is healing (Matthew 4:23). The poor in spirit are blessed in His Kingdom (Matthew 5:3). The persecuted are blessed in His Kingdom (Matthew 5:10). His Kingdom belongs to those who obey His commandments (Matthew 5:19). His will is done in His Kingdom (Matthew 6:10). All of our needs are met in His Kingdom (Matthew 6:33). Spirits of evil are cast out when His Kingdom is present.(Matthew 12:28). In Christ, we are now kingdom citizens, and all things are new. We do not have to struggle any more. We are part of His Kingdom and its His good pleasure to give us the Kingdom.
We need a powerful revelation of Almighty God as our Heavenly Father. The Lord Jesus taught us how to pray. He tells us to begin the prayer with “Our Father, who art in Heaven”. Not only is He our Heavenly Father, He is also an awesome Father. He is the perfect example of the best Father one could ever have. His love for us is legendary, His forgiveness when we sin and miss the mark is unmatchable. His kind and tender mercies are new every day. He watches over us and is always with us. He never leaves nor abandons us. He meets all of our needs according to His riches in Glory. He listens and responds to our prayers and requests. He sent His word and healed us. He is faithful, He is consistent. He has given us a priceless inheritance. He rejoices over us. He gives us the best gifts. Simply put, He is the Father that has no equal. He is our Heavenly Father!
Matthew 7: 11 (AMP) If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him.
