4 Rs: Son Power Seals, Reveals, and Deals

“For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” (Acts 17:28)

Once we accept Jesus Christ into our life, Son Power is all encompassing. It affects all aspects of our relationship with God.

Relationship

Our relationship with God is established when the Holy Spirit seals us at the time we believe and trust in Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior. We are his offspring in the sense we are now children of God, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ.
We are in his “bloodline” because of the blood of Christ which pays for our sin. This is a relationship that cannot be broken (as noted by a multitude of passages in the Bible).

Revelation

The establishment of our relationship with God is just the beginning step. We soon discover through revelation that Son Power will now deal with us for the rest of our life in this world.
We live in the Spirit. We are to walk in the Spirit. By the Spirit we put to death our sins. The Spirit renews and transforms us through exposure to the Word of God. The Spirit is the one who reveals the will of God to us by teaching the meaning of the Word of God to us.

Reflection

We must trust in Christ to live his life in and through us to the same degree that we must trust in him for our initial salvation. Son Power is only released in our lives to the degree we trust Christ to live his life in us by faith. We must rest in the salvation of Christ and stop trusting in our own power. He does the heavy lifting for us.

Redemption

Steps of redemptive faith include asking the Holy Spirit to release his power in us, taking control of how we think, feel, and act. This enables the law of faith in Christ to empower us.
We must be sure to confess and repent of any sin that may be in our life. Failure to take this important step will short circuit the power of the Holy Spirit.

Talk to God

Father, just as I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior by faith, you have revealed to me I must exercise the same faith and trust in him to live a life that embodies all that you taught. I am powerless to do so in my own strength. Thank you for showing me that as I pray in faith I can expect to be delivered from my own desires by the power of the Spirit. Amen.

Don’t Water it Down!

  And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature… (2 Peter 1:4) Don’t Water it Down All of us have dreams we’re believing for, but too often we get discouraged and quit believing for the fullness of what’s in our heart. It’s easy to water down what God promised us. “I don’t like this job, but it’s good enough.” “I was believing for a house, but this apartment is okay.” “I was hoping to get well, but I’ve learned to live with this sickness.” If you’re going to become all you were created to be, you have to keep a fire in your spirit that says, “I refuse to settle for less than what God promised.” You’re not going to be talked out of it, you’re not going to water it down, and you’re not going to let good enough be good enough. It may be more difficult and taking longer than you thought, but what God promised you is still on the way—not a watered-down version, not a make-do promotion,

Experience SON POWER!

                    Experience SON POWER I love to watch the clouds in the sky during the day and in the brightness of the moon at night. Watching those clouds move is an illustration to me of how God is always on the move. He is continually working to change our circumstances and is always available to intervene in the affairs of mankind. Sometimes the clouds appear to be still, but if I watch long enough, I see their changing shapes, I notice them moving ever so slightly and silently. I would not even be aware of that movement if I was not focused intently on them. God is like this so much of the time. He is on the move in our circumstances.  The landscape of our lives is constantly changing, and God is there, directing and guiding, even when we are unaware.  The book of Psalms says it well, “Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters—a pathway no one knew was there!” (Psalm 77:19). When I coined the word  Kingdom of God  I was at the beginning of my own j

The Roots of Hope!

  The Roots of Hope Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17–19 “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. ”  From a circumstantial standpoint, the prophet Habakkuk lived in a terrible time. The land was soon to be invaded and, because of the disobedience of the people to God over time, prosperity was no more. Even though the circumstances were bad, Habakkuk gives us the formula for not only surviving but also thriving in such a period. The above passage shows us that Habakkuk did not allow circumstances to steal his joy. It is an example for us that our joy and happiness have to be based on more than just having go
