THE FATHER 7-25-25 VIDEO THE FATHERS BLESSING 22
Of all the manifestations of Yahweh in the Bible, the most honored one is God, our heavenly Father. God loves families. He’s the Father to the fatherless. Although we may have an earthly father, we have a heavenly Father. His name is Abba. He’s our ABBA and in Hebrew the word means, dear father or daddy. We are wrapped in the shelter of His wings. Jesus and the Father know each other so well, with such intimacy that Jesus came to show us the Father.
1 JN 3:1 Consider the amazing love the Father lavished upon us; this is our defining moment: we began in the agape of God – the engineer of the universe is our Father! So it’s no wonder that the performance-based systems of this world just cannot see this! Because they do not recognize their origin in God, they feel indifferent towards anyone who does!
2 Beloved, we know that we are children of God to begin with, which means that there can be no future surprises; his manifest likeness is already mirrored in us! Our sameness cannot be compromised or contradicted; our gaze will confirm exactly who he is – and who we are. MIRROR
2 Cor 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement),
4 Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction), so that we may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted (consoled and encouraged) by God.

JAMES 1:17 Without exception God’s gifts are only good; it’s perfection cannot be flawed. They come from above proceeding like light rays from its source, the Father of lights, with whom there is no distortion, or even a shadow of shifting to obstruct, or intercept the light; nor any hint of a hidden agenda.
18 We were bought by the Word of truth. Our true origin is preserved in God’s resolve. It was according to the Father’s delight that he birthed us: giving authentic, incarnate expression to the Word. Just like the first fruits mirror the harvest, so we mirror the conclusion of his workmanship in the core of our being. MIRROR
2 Peter 1:17 Jesus resplendent with light from God the Father as the voice of Majestic Glory spoke: “This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of all my delight.” MSG
Matt 11:27 Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly. “The Father has given me all these things to do and say. This is a unique Father-Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge. No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does. But I’m not keeping it to myself; I’m ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen. MSG
JN 3:35 The theme of this conversation celebrates the extravagant love the Father has for the Son – and in him every gift of God is revealed – his hand extends God’s touch; he is God’s embrace of the human race! MIRROR
John 5:19 Jesus explained to them with utmost certainty that whatever they see the Son does, mirrors the Father – he does not act independent of his Father – the Son’s gaze is fixed in order to accurately interpret and repeat what he sees his Father does! The one reveals the other without compromise or distraction!
20 For the Father and the Son are best of friends! They have no secrets; the Father gladly lets his Son in on everything he does and will continue to show him works of most significant proportions, which will astound you!
21 For just as the Father awakens people from their death-sleep and revitalizes them with Zoe-life, even so it pleases the Son to awaken people to life!
22 For the Father judges no-one but has given all judgment to the Son!
23 The Father’s desire is that all may value the Son with the same honor wherewith they esteem him – there is no distinction – to dishonor the Son is to dishonor the Father.
24 Most certainly do I say unto you that this is the vital transition from dead religion into the very life of the ages – embrace the Son’s word with the same persuasion as you would the Father’s and you will not know any judgment – the Son gives voice to the Father! MIRROR
John 6:37 Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don’t let go.
38 I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.
39 “This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed — not a single detail missed — and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.
40 This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time.” MSG
John 8:19 Then they said to him, “So where is your Father?” And Jesus answered, “My Father is just as invisible to you as I am – if you perceived me you would have also seen my Father!” MIRROR
John 14:10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you aren’t mere words. I don’t just make them up on my own. The Father who resides in me crafts each word into a divine act.
11 “Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can’t believe that, believe what you see — these works. MSG
John 5:18 This made the Jews more determined than ever to kill Him [to do away with Him]; because He not only was breaking (weakening, violating) the Sabbath, but He actually was speaking of God as being [in a special sense] His own Father, making Himself equal [putting Himself on a level] with God. AMP
John 20:17 Jesus said to her, Do not cling to Me [do not hold Me], for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brethren and tell them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God. AMP
LUKE 11:2 He said, whenever you pray, say, Father! Your Name is to be celebrated as holy by all creation! Your kingdom is present!
3 Sustain us daily with the gift of the prophetic bread that was to come!
4 Oh, that your forgiveness of our sins may be fully realized! So, everyone indebted to us may also know that we have released them from their obligations to us! Father, you know us inside-out! Free us thoroughly from any hidden alliance with the old system of performance-based living! MIRROR
James 1:5 If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it.
6 Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves.
7 Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, MSG
John 16:25 “I’ve used figures of speech in telling you these things. Soon I’ll drop the figures and tell you about the Father in plain language.
26 Then you can make your requests directly to him in relation to this life I’ve revealed to you. I won’t continue making requests of the Father on your behalf.
27 I won’t need to. Because you’ve gone out on a limb, committed yourselves to love and trust in me, believing I came directly from the Father, the Father loves you directly.
28 First, I left the Father and arrived in the world; now I leave the world and travel to the Father.” MSG
Luke 11:10 Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This is not a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in.
11 If your little boy asks for a serving of fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate?
12 If your little girl asks for an egg, do you trick her with a spider?
13 As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing — you’re at least decent to your own children. And don’t you think the Father who conceived you in love will give the Holy Spirit when you ask him?” MSG
Luke 12:32 Don’t be afraid of missing out. You’re my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself. MSG

Eph 1:3 How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him.
4 Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.
5 Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) MSG
EPH 3:14 Overwhelmed by what grace communicates, I bow my knees in awe before the Father.
15 Every family in heaven and on earth originates in him; his is mankind’s family name and he remains the authentic identity of every nation.
16 I desire for you to realize what the Father has always envisaged for you, so that you may know the magnitude of his intent and be dynamically reinforced in your inner being by the Spirit of God. MIRROR
1 Peter 1:2 God the Father has his eye on each of you, and has determined by the work of the Spirit to keep you obedient through the sacrifice of Jesus. May everything good from God be yours! MSG
1 John 2:15 Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father.
16 Practically everything that goes on in the world — wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important — has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him.
17 The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out — but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity. MSG
Jude 1 I, Jude, am a slave to Jesus Christ and brother to James, writing to those loved by God the Father, called and kept safe by Jesus Christ.
