The Importance of knowing the God who Adopts us

In order to understand the depth of Adoption into the family of our Creator God, it is vital that we see the real heart of the Father. In a world that is confused about God and beguiled by distorted images of His nature, it is time to discover for yourself the amazing and compassionate love He offers.  proclamedia discusses the Father Heart of God in this video.

7/62 How to Develop Personal Growth as God’s child?

Marcus about to go underRemember, we are called to grow both in the natural and in the spiritual as a Jesus Follower. However, personal growth is not about being perfect – but about overcoming! …… because we will never be perfect outside of Jesus!

Refining isn’t about getting Perfect and ‘earning’ God’s love! If we could have reached perfection alone, we would not have needed Jesus.  We don’t have to scrub off every bit of dirt so that we can be more acceptable to Father God.  Healthy Biblical growth comes out of relationship with Jesus Christ.  Boiled down to simple terms, all we need to do is hear and obey.

tithing“….but everyone will start out with problems….”

Father God knew we would start out our lives with inherited faults and problems. Because of the inherited sin from Adam and Eve, everyone would be born into a world without perfect parents. Everyone would have some experience with relations and siblings who weren’t always going to be kind and loving. Even peers would judge us and reject us based on what they thought they saw.

A Story from the Counselling Room

girl1We have already mentioned Sally – not her real name of course. She was born into and grow up with a very fractured, Linda 1disorganised home. Her parents, products of a dysfunction background added to her misery. Dad and his issues seemed to dominate the home. He would take his frustrations out on the dog, her Mom and on her – when he was home.

Mom was the main breadwinner but her hours were long and tiring. With 5 children at home – Sally being the youngest, there never seemed enough to go around.
