1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart

Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Proverbs 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases. Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart

LUKE 15:1 – 3 and 11 – 31 Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart

1. We have an Extravagant Father! God Was Always a Perfect Family – And We Have Been Adopted Into That Family! Ephesians 1:3 – 5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love (5) he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will...

Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart 1. We have an Extravagant Father! John 17:24 – 26 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart 1. We have an Extravagant Father! We are the Bride of Christ: a)The Heavenly Family of the Trinity are delighted to welcome us into their family! (Like any parents) b)We take on the name of God as we become ‘one flesh’ with Christ! Malachi 2:16 – “God hates divorce” c)We step into the inheritance of the Father! d)The Family of God is To Extend His Kingdom As Royal Princes & Princesses

Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart 1. We have an Extravagant Father! d)The Family of God is To Extend His Kingdom As Royal Princes & Princesses

Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart 2. We need to come to our senses and find ourselves as sons and daughters Finding the Son in You Means You Can Be Fathered By Nearly Anyone

Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart 3. Heaven is a big family party Heaven's Government is Family

Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart Isaiah 9:6 – 7 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.

Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart 3. Heaven is a big family party Heaven's Government is Family Good Family Values Requires Confrontation We need to be honest with one another in order to ensure we grow onward. Sons and daughters open their hearts to honesty. “Elder brother” hearts (or servants) will criticise correction. Confrontation requires humility.

Finding the Son or Daughter in your own Heart 4. We must never fall into the trap of Elder Brother mentality The elder brother loses his own identity & his brother's because of his mind-set... “This son of yours…” Without finding the son or daughter in ourselves, we could become critical and negative. What is essential in all of this is knowing that we are Royal Sons and Daughters!
