God’s Perfect Family

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary: When God saves us, we have the promise that He brings in our families with us. This is a covenant from the Lord that we can believe and stand on. We can trust what He is doing—how He leads you as well as the things that happen to you and around you. He is creating the perfect family to be what He called us to be. Show Notes: We have a cry in our hearts for the members of our family, believing that the Lord will do whatever He sees is necessary to minister to each one. Another name for the Kingdom is the Father's family. He is connecting us together to be His family. Our connections are based on our relationship with the Father first. As the Father creates His love in us, we are equipped to minister to the members of the family. We have been given His life, and we will begin to see that He is pulling the family even closer together.   Quotations: We're a family built on coming together as Christ in the earth, as His sons. The life we're living is a spiritual life first, and then everything else follows. We're walking out the footsteps ordered by God, walked out by His Son, that we might walk in those same footsteps. If somebody is critical of you, open your heart and listen to what they say. Because what you just did is you turned around and set them up that God can help them. He will do it through a many membered body.   References: Acts 16:31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household.” Romans 8:14-15 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” Romans 12:4-5 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Takeaway: God is in the process of creating His family. He helps us grow by being a part of every aspect of our lives. When He saves us, then we begin to cry to Him for all those we love. He has given us the promise that He will include our heritage, our household. We need to trust Him that He knows best how to pull us all together into His perfect family.
