Morning Cup Faith without Works is Dead Meditation

I will work to free myself from old guilt. Knowing that I am a worthy person, I will find the strength to endure in Jesus name.

 Our Teaching  for This Month is this!

“Can You Really Have a Family without the “Father” in the Midst?”

What I am asking is “can you have a family without “God” who is called “Father” not being in your environment,  or having a place in your life. Can you have a family without God giving you the strength to endure what is to come in these last and evils days as you tried to provide food, and  a roof for your family and meet their emotional needs all at the same time. Can you really do it without God?

The reason I am saying this is, because The word “Family” is a “derivative” of the Word Father: When  I use the word “derived” or “derivative” what I am saying is that the idea, language, term, or other things concerning a group of people that live under one roof  or one household,  was developed from this word “Father” into something that is similar to it.  Remember, it was God, the “Father,” which created the very first “family” in the Garden of Eden; the first family was Adam and Eve. In addition, our first ministry is the “family” not the pulpit, but the “family.” Therefore, “can you really have a “family” without the “Father” in the Midst?”

This is what I will be talking about tomorrow on “A Morning Cup of Word” on Live365.com/stations/thecrowngem.  I am no longer on Face Book, after many attempts to let Face Book know that some one had got into my account, I decided it was time to let that site go.  God bless you!

 God is Father

 The Bible lets us know, without a shadow of a doubt, that God is “Father”. Many may be asking what a Father is. It is hard to know what a father is if you have never experience having a father in your life. God as Father is the creator of all spirits in the flesh, God is the creator of everything.  I never knew my  father,  I never saw him. At this time and period in my life I doubt seriously if I will ever know my father.  I do not know why I was not able to see him or know him, but I do know that I was conceived in sin, my mother and my father were not married and this is the reason I have suffered not having a family, they did not have a relationship with each other that is accordingly  to the scriptures, and when that happens the next generation always suffers.    They, my mother and father at the time, did not have a relation with God  and He was not in their midst therefore, they were not in mine.

My father abandon me when I was a child. Again as I mention earlier I do not know what he looks like; I cannot tell you if I have his eyes or hair or skin complexion.  I do not know what he is likes or what he does not like.  Do I have sisters and brothers from him? I don't know.  I know nothing about him because he was never in my midst.   My biological father did not raise me, he did not live in the home with me.  He never pray with me or for me and he did not tuck me into bed at night, because he was not around I was abuse as a child by my step father.   I might have seen him in the park or on a bus, but was not able to recognize him as being my father. You know this can happen to you concerning God, our spiritual Father, where you can see God and still not recognize God as being your Father.

I think not having a defined understanding of what a father is suppose to be is one of the biggest hindrances in people coming to the Lord, and accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Not being able to relate to God as a Father is hard because most people, in our society, do not know what a father is because they never experience having a father.  Most do not know what a child is because they never had a chance to be a child or their innocence was take from them at an early age.  They are not able to recognize what fathering is all about, or what is  the place or a position of  a father.  What role is a father supposed to play in their lives?   If you don’t know this stuff you  will not, be able to be a father and as a child you will  not be able to recognize what a father is and the role you are suppose to play as their child.  Nevertheless, the Bible tells us that God is our Father, therefore I think before I can go on any further with this teaching, I need to explain to you what a father is all about.

What is a Father?

A father is a man who “engendered” a child, meaning produce, beget, and bring forth human life.   A father is a male parent or a man who is related or connected, to his child or children. A basic element in fatherhood is to be able to relate to their origins, to the roots,  the ancestry in bringing things of that person into existence. One of the problems that the Afro Americans are face with is that we are not able to relate to our roots or our ancestry from Africa, because that was taken from us during slavery and it does affect the progress, of a people or nation spiritually, and emotionally  if a group does not know anything about their ancestry.    Believe it  or not that loss of heritage is still affecting Afro Americans to this day.  We  have become a person or people who do not know who we are because we did not know who our fathers were.

The word “father” was use as a way of referring to one’s ancestors.

Psalms. 22:4 KJV

4. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them

A child must learn how to trust, believe and have faith in God, by watching and observing his or her father trust in God. However, if your father is not there, in the home with you, because of divorce or if you have a history were your family was separated because of slavery,  going back several generations, then you can not and will not know what your father or fathers beliefs are concerning God and the things of God because they have not been there to teach you and to rehearse in your hearing all that God has done for them.     It is through our “fathers” our human fathers and our ancestors, that we learn and read how they put their trust in God, and this is how we learn, how God brought them out of their different struggles, and how our fathers called upon God in their time of danger and difficulties. It is through our fathers speaking to us about God that we hear about the miracles that God used to bring them out, this must be passed down from generation to generation by the fathers. 

It is important to our sons to know that our fathers called upon God and God did answer them, and they were able to escape from all of their troubles and dangers.   It is the fathers that teach the children how to trust God. It is the fathers that will tell the children how God enable them to escape from danger and disappointments.  However, if there are no fathers in the home or in the midst how will they learn? “Can you really have a family without the “Father” in the midst?”

Hebrew 1:1 KJV.

1. God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets.

In this portion of scriptures the Bible is letting us know that God in the past times spoke to our ancestor, to our fathers, many, many times; in numerous different ways through the prophets to His people and their children.  These were holy men who were being lead, inspired and stirred  by the Spirit of the Living God to write all that they heard and saw God do, and leave these messages to their children to guide them in their decisions.  We learn that a child learns how to listen to God by watching his or her father listening to God, and reading the word to them, and then by going to church to worship God. It is through watching their fathers that they learn about the "Father."  Look here is a good scripture that really breaks it down to us and explains to us how a father is to command his children.

Genesis 18: 18-19 King James Version

18.  Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

19.  For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

Abraham was chosen because God knew that Abraham would command, direction or instruction,  his sons and his descendants to obey Him, but if the father is not in the home then the father cannot command, order, or control what the child is learning and believing concerning God.  However, the point is this God picks and had chosen Abraham, because God knew that Abraham would command his sons and descendants to obey the Lord and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

Abraham Means “Father” of many Nations.

Genesis 17:5 KJV

5. Neither shall thy name any more be Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee

H1471 גּוֹי גּוֹי gowy (go'-ee) (rarely (shortened) goy {go'-ee}) n-m.

1. a foreign nation

2. (hence) a Gentile

3. (figuratively) a troop of animals, or a flight of locusts

[apparently from the same root as H1465 (in the sense of massing)]

KJV: Gentile, heathen, nation, people.

See also: H1465

Abraham means father of many nations, “gentile” nations.   God is blessing him with posterity, and (posterity is people who will live after your death, the people or children that come after you, in the future). Abraham would be the ancestor of many nations.  Therefore, we learn that a father is also an originator, founder, or an inventor. The Bibles speaks about God as the Father the originator, inventor or creator and the source of all things. In this portion of scriptures Abraham will be the father of those that will have faith in God.

Number 16:22 KJV

22.     And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation.

This scripture proves that God is the originator, founder and inventor and creator of the world this is what a “father” is all about. 

Isaiah. 64:8 KJV

8. But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

In other words, God created us all.

 Mal 2:10 KJV

10.     Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers

One God, one Father has created us all yet, we are all breaking away from what God has taught us all through our fathers and we are profaning the Word God.  There is a video that I just put up that shows us how men are profaning the family and what the Bible say is a family.    What ends up happening is we begin to despise the agreement we have with God the Father; the agreement, and covenant that God made with them, our fathers that we are suppose to honor.  We start profaning the covenant meaning, corrupting and  perverting morally ourselves, by intemperance or lack of control from sensuality, erotic desires that the Word of God tells us not to do and yet in spite of all our fathers told us God wanted us to do and be in Him, we continue to go against the Word of God, that God gave to our fathers for us to obey. 

Luke 3:38 KJV

38.     Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

It is in this portion of scriptures we learn that Jesus is the son of Abraham by whom all families  on the earth are blessed for Abraham is father that brought forth families.  Luke gives Jesus humanity throughout  this book.  Luke  give Jesus a biological family, a father and a mother, which is something that our society no longer believes in.   Luke gives Jesus a family tree and shows us that Jesus is not only God but He is Man as well. 

We will learn, if we look at the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, we will see that Adam is a son of God which makes God Father.   What do you mean you may be wondering?  Adam was the son of God because he did not come from a woman’s womb.  There was no woman that carry him in the womb for 9 months.  Adam was created by God, he was from and fashion by the hand of God from the earth and received the breath of life from God.  This is what makes him a son of God.  Therefore, since we all come from Adam we too are son’s of God, which makes God Father.   Adam became the unique father of all of mankind or the race of men.   Therefore, because Adam is the son of God that makes us sons of God too because we all come from Adam, through the body of a woman. 

Therefore it is the responsibility of a father to correct his children and to teach them what God expects from us.   It is a known fact that children that comes from homes where there is no father end up more likely to be in and out  of the court system.

Hebrew 12:9 KJV

9. Futhermore we have had fathers of our flesh  which corrected us, and we

gave them reverence:  shall we not much rather be subjection unto the Father

of spirits, and live?

It is a statistical fact that there are a high level of behavior disorders with children that do not have fathers  and mothers in the home.  Children that do not have fathers and a mother in the home will drop out of high school or just get pass through. Children without fathers in the home will more then likely suffer from child abuse.   Daughters that have been raise in homes without fathers will more then likely raise their children alone themselves. The sad facts is this; with all of these statistics’ showing us that God’s way is the right way, you would think our country would be trying to have the traditional family reestablished; instead we are fragmenting the family even more so with the same sex marriages laws. My question is this, in 20 years what will our country look like, what problems will our nation have  to face and what type of protection will our nation be able to provide against our enemies, since we are  having all these abortions, and  same sex marriage. Who will birth the children?  The truth is this there will be no one to fight our enemies, we will have a nation of old people, since we do not believe in being fruitful and multiplying any more.       

Where there are fathers and mothers in the home, you find there is more financial stability in the home and the children have more of a chance of climbing up the economic ladder.  Even though statistics shows that those families that have a father and mother in the home do better then those that don’t, our society is still pushing families that God has not ordain and that does not fit how God has created us to be and now they are trying to change the Bible.   God knows what it will take for us to live a good life on this earth because it is God that created us.

James 1:17 KJV

17.     Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father or lights, with whom is no varibleness, neither shadow of turning.

Now if this is a normal family why would you need a third party to become a surrogate mother.  Why would you need  someone who would be willing to takes the place of another person to bring forth your children, if this is normal; just that fact that you have to have another person to carry these children in their womb and then to give these children away to a stranger by Biblical standards, is not normal by no means it shows that the woman who participate in giving away her children, lacks natural affections even four legged creatures don’t do that.  But they said something that shows where our country is at and where President Obama has shamefully leaded us to, that now we are going to change the Bible.  To change what constitutes a family, we have now become the potter and we are trying to get God to become the clay. 

Isaiah 45:9 King James Version

9.  Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

In other words, we as clay pots are not to argue or change God’s laws on how he has created us to be. We cannot express complaints, discontent, displeasure, or unhappiness because God has an order, then decide we are going to have a family of our own choosing and hire a surrogate mother to give us a family that is not scriptural and then say we are going to change  what a family is and make it Bible.  To do that is to say that God has no skills, and that God was wrong for making us the way He created us to be.   I will change the order of things, I will do that which God considers to be an abomination and I do not care how it hurts the nation, as a whole, as long as I do what I want to do even though 20 years from now this choice will destroy this country.   Thank you President Obama for bringing this country further down the drain of despair.
