"Finished... part 4, conclusion"

                                   FATHERHOOD CONSCIOUSNESS

In the last part, part 3, we looked at some scriptures regarding Jesus and Father.  I want to look at this, a little further.

First, let's take the name, JESUS.  We know that it means, "God is with us". (MT 1:23).  We need to realize that name. Of course, we know that the word "name" means "nature".  It describes a nature of a person or thing.

I won't go through all of the names/natures that God manifested in the OT. But a few of them?

EL SHADIAH= the great breasted One, Self sufficient One.  His nature was a nourisher. Gen. 17:1, 2. (Gen. 31:29, 49:24, 25; Prov. 3:27; Micah 2:1; Isa. 60:15, 16, 66:10-13; Ruth 1:20, 21) In Rev. 16:7, "Lord

EL ELYON= Most High God.  There was/is no God over Him. Deut. 26:19, 32:8; Psa. 18:13; Gen. 14:18; Nu. 24:16; Psa. 78:35, 7:17, 18:13, 97:9, 56:2, 78:56, 18:13; Dan. 7:25, 27; Isa. 14:14.

ADONAI= Lord in our English Bibles (Capitol letter 'L ', lower case, 'ord') (Adonai is plural, the sing. is "adon"). "Master'' or "Lord"
JEHOVAH-JIREH= "The Lord will Provide." Gen. 22:14. From "jireh" ("to see" or "to provide," or to "foresee" as a prophet.) God always provides, adequate when the times come

JEHOVAH-ROPHE= "The Lord Who Heals" Ex. 15:22-26. From "rophe" ("to heal"); implies spiritual, emotional as well as physical healing. (Jer. 30:17, 3:22; Isa. 61:1) God heals body, soul and spirit; all levels of man's being.

JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU= "The Lord Our Righteousness" Jer. 23:5, 6, 33:16. From "tsidek" (straight, stiff, balanced - as on scales - full weight, justice, right, righteous, declared innocent.) God our Righteousness
ZUR= "God our Rock" Deut. 32:18; Isa. 30:29.

I AM= Jesus upset his generation especially when He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM," John 8:58. Note also his claim to be Jehovah in such phrases as "I AM the Light of the world," "the bread of life," living water," "the Resurrection and the Life," "the Way, Truth and the Life" in John's Gospel. From the Hebrew OT verb "to be" signifying a Living, Intelligent, Personal Being.

There are MANY more names/nature that God was known as in the OT. Each name DESCRIBES what work God was working, under these names. But, when we get to the NT, we see "JESUS, NAMES ABOVE ALL NAMES". (EPH 1:21, Phil 2:9)  Why is the Name, JESUS, above all names? Because, as God worked under each name, it was a particular work that He did. Under the Name, JESUS, God works ALL the works under ONE NAME. (this is just one reason).  The Name, Jesus, takes in ALL of those OT names in ONE name.
Now, we saw in the last study that God manifested in the flesh, as the man, Jesus. (1Tim 3:16). He became (manifested) as a flesh man AND His Son. At our creation, we were/are in HIS IMAGE. We were/are as He was. Spirit, and WE manifested into the flesh and as His Son.  When Jesus died, WE died WITH HIM. We are God's Manifested Sons, right now.
Then, Jesus died on the cross and resurrected AS HE WAS, FATHER. As many people who may not want to hear it, The man, Jesus, is no longer the SON of God, WE ARE.  The written even tells us, "know Jesus no more after the flesh". Why would He tell us this? Because when Jesus resurrected, He did not resurrect as the Son of God, He resurrected as Father, Himself, Who HE had always been.  
One way we can see this is in His earthly name. During Jesus' earthly ministry He was known as Jesus, the Christ, Jesus Christ. (John 1:41, 20:31, Luke 2:26, 3:15, Mark 8:29, 14:61, MT 16:16, 26:63), Jesus, the Christ. We know that "Christ" means, "anointed of God, anointing, which means Father's Life). He was JESUS, the anointed of God. That means that, He WAS ANOINTED.
AFTER His resurrection, He was known as "Christ Jesus". This refers to His HEAVENLY MINISTRY. He BECAME THE ANOINTING, or Father's Life. He returned to the position He had been in the beginning (John 1:1), FATHERHOOD.  

John 17:4-5. Now, in this scripture, Jesus is on the cross. Up to this point, HE HAS BEEN THE SON OF GOD. He was, at first, God the Father. He manifested in the flesh, TO LAY A PATTERN for those (all mankind, although some don't know it yet) who died WITH HIM, to walk into this Pattern, of Sonship,  that He came to lay. As the Son, He LAID ASIDE ALL DEITY. (Phil 2:5-8).  

John 17:4-5, " I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. (5) And now, O Father, glorify THOU ME WITH THINE OWN SELF with the glory which I had with thee before the world was".

The word "glorify" is #1392-1 in Strong's.=to render or esteem glorious, honour, magnify, dignity, praise and worship.

What Jesus, name above EVERY name that Father God had been called, is saying here is: "I have SAVED THE WORLD, ALL MEN, I have laid a realm of Sonship and have made it possible for them to walk into. I have been a Pattern for them to walk into. NOW, I want back, what I was and what I had, and where I was before there was ANYTHING created."  He had created a Sonship realm, He placed His Spirit in each person, He made all that He had been and done possible for man to walk into. HE WAS OUR ELDER BROTHER UP UNTO THE TIME HE RESURRECTED. Now, we are the Son, and He is our Father God. But, NOW, He wanted to return to His ORIGINAL BEING. Invisible, in the spirit realm, and within EVERY CREATURE that has been created. He indeed, is ALL IN ALL.  ALL OF HIS WORK AND PURPOSE IS FINISHED!!  Not will be. If that were so, He would have to come back as the flesh man, Jesus, the Son.  IF that were His plan, why would He inspire it to be written, "know Jesus, no more after the flesh"?  That would mean that He would have to, once again, take on the form of a servant, a flesh man, leave Fatherhood, go back to being the Son; do some more work, and THEN return once again to being our Father God. Geez, this has Him coming and going as much as the Rapture lie!!

WE WERE WHAT JESUS WAS FROM THE BEGINNING!! We were created in God's image. And we STILL are, we've just been ignorant of the truth of Who we were/are.I like what another writer wrote:
Quote: "There was a time when man was pure, spiritual being, when he lived entirely from within himself, when His thoughts always remained at the center of his
being. Life flowed out from within, ideas came from within, means of action came from within, and whenever there was an apparent need, all that he had to do was to close his eyes, go within, and let it come forth into expression." unquote
From the same writer, Quote: "IDENTITY is the question here. Who are you? Acts 17 says, "You are the offspring of your Father." There is a "Himself" company now on our planet that know the heart of the Father and live out of the Mind of Christ. While many wait for Sons to arise… others await for Fathers to arise. 1John 2:13-14 "I write unto you, Fathers, because ye have KNOWN Him that is from the beginning" Fathers know how to reproduce! Fathers know wisdom and have understanding and a vision for this Day.As a son, one is limited, doing only that which they see the Father do, and moving in accordance with the Father's will." Unquote.
Look at IS.9:6 , "....and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor,THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER.."

Also: John 6:62, "What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?"

You may say, "then there is no Son of God, there is no Saviour". Read the following verses:

Rom 8:29, "...MANY shall come into the image of the Son..."

Obadiah 21, "Saviours (plural) shall come up on Mount Zion..." This word "saviours" means the same thing it meant about Jesus!

Acts 17:29, "...we are the offspring of God.."

1John 3:2, "...now, are we sons of God.."

Jesus is NOW FATHER GOD!  WE are His Sons, His anointed ones, His Christ.HE SAYS IT. BELIEVE IT, WAKE UP TO HIS TRUTH and see NOTHING BUT HIS TRUTH. We even are KNOWN AS HIS NAME:

Eph 3: 14-15, "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  of whom the WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED."

Jesus is our Father's name. We are His Son, with the same name. We are the Sons of God, and we have manifested. And I could go on all night, but there's more that we need to know.

As we saw, when JESUS, was on the cross, as the Son,  He laid His 3rd Step that some will walk into. Fatherhood, Father Consciousness.

Does that mean that we will be God?  No, it means that instead of the Son consciousness that we've had, we will be lifted into Father consciousness.  

There are those who want to be the Bride. And some want to be Overcomers. Some want to be the Church. Some want to be the Son. BUT, there are those who will walk into the 3rd step that was laid for them to walk into, Fatherhood. The Son does the Will of Father, those who are/has Father Consciousness, ARE THE WILL OF GOD. The Son will do and say what the Father tells Him; with the consciousness of the Father, He draws sons unto Himself. He imparts Himself to the sons. The Sons show the nature of the Father, in Fatherhood the complete nature of the Father IS. The Love of the Father flows through the Son, the Father IS LOVE.

Those who are hearing the calling, the ordained path into Fatherhood,  cannot be touched, but, touches all that come unto Him. I can't say that I have ALL understanding of this realm, but, I do know, that I will, as I keep my focus on Him. As in Him I LIVE  MOVE AND HAVE MY BEING. Just as walking into Sonship, we learned by focusing on Father, it is the same with walking into Fatherhood.  

There is a scripture that is so taken, in only one way, but, Father showed me another way to look at it. I don't recall, right off hand, where the scripture is, but it's to the effect:

"What you lay down with, you become ONE with."    I look at "lay down" as resting. So, when we lay down (rest) with Father, we become ONE with Him.

Folks, it is finished. Gen 2, tells us this, and John 17 tell us this. Don't allow religious ideas keep you from walking on with Father. He gave Jesus His glory and He has also given US His glory. He is the utmost of all things. And He HAS a people that are AS HE IS. Don't allow "works" have to be proven; don't let those who think it is blasphemy, to think we can be in Fatherhood. Father laid the Pattern. Keep your focus on what Father reveals and walk it as He leads the footsteps, and so must we.

Be blessed.
