BABES SUMMARY
BABES SUMMARY -
Ponder with HolySpirit ... write out your inspirations/revelations/illuminations!
Then go deeper and pair the sets of Covenant 5's with each other... This is where the illumination happens for me.
Let's look at the first Focus of each Theme as a newly born of the Spirit Babe in Christ... and add the beginning letter of Covenant for that Theme:
1God- Source...BERIT-Beginning
2Word- Teach Truth...LIGHT-LORD
3Mankind- Faith...ABIDE-Advocate
4Salvation- The God We Serve...FAITH-Father
5HolySpirit- The Nature of God...GRACE-God
6Christ- Living, He Loved Me...TRUST-Triumphant
7Cross- Commit...UNITY-Ultimate
8Prayer- Focus...POWER-Physician
9Community- Melt...TRUTH-Thine
10Promise- Wonderful...SH'LOM-Savior
We can not KNOW God unless we are born again of His Spirit... I partake of God as a True Person, Spirit to spirit, and learn to understand His ways. These Patterns are simple reminders of Truths in His Word... oh, yes! There is more to come...
Once we have been BORN of the Spirit of God, we are a NEW Creation... and a New Creation has no past... so, while you may have to pay some consequences in the natural world for things you have done, your slate is wiped clean in God' eyes... so start living in His Kingdom... by His ways. Turn away from sin and the old life of following the world's ways... and learn to know His heart... and become like His Son, Jesus. You are a CHILD of God...
The goal in the Kingdom is CONTINUING MATURITY that will bring ABUNDANT FRUITFULNESS... Keep Growing!
Find your Foundational Truths in the Word...
Read the 1st chapter of Ephesians to see all that you have when you are IN Christ... KEEPING OUR EYES ON ETERNAL TRUTH in a world of distractions.
Philippians 4--A MIND to Meditate on these things! TRUTH AND DISCERNMENT.
Ephesians 6--A POSTURE to Stand with the full armor of God! STRENGTH AND STAMINA.
Galatians 5--A HEART where Love has fruit! ABUNDANT FRUITFULNESS.
We have completed the first 10 weeks of this year in Babes. We move onto the next Stage in our next week... Children Grow.
We will use a similar template for the 10 weeks of Children, but with some differences. Remember, the Patterns are simply reminders of Truths and thought provokers for HolySpirit to use in your overall growth... so let's continue growing together next week!
