*Sons of an Immortal Parent*
We all know the power of parental genes. They affect your looks, shape and all mannerisms. Your child can look, talk and even behave like your late grand parents. These are physical genes but there are also spiritual genes which affect us all differently. Those born of God therefore bear the likeness and image of our heavenly Father.
How are we born of God? Read here:
1 Peter 1:23 (GNB) “For through the living and eternal word of God you have been born again as the children of a parent who is immortal, not mortal.” Those who heard the message of salvation and believed, were born through the living and eternal word.
Some people are God’s creation but they definitely are Not His children*. _Your unbelieving friends and relatives are just God’s creatures_. You who believe in God however are his begotten children. Read here: Romans 9:8 (GNB) “This means that the children born in the usual way are not the children of God; instead, the children born as a result of God’s promise are regarded as the true descendants.”
You were born of God due to His great mercy towards us. Yes it was your parents who may have planned to have you but it was God who desired to have you has His own son. Read here: Romans 9:16 (GNB) “So then, everything depends, not on what human beings want or do, but only on God’s mercy.”
From the day you believed, in Jesus Christ and gave your life to God, you were born of God. Your spirit was transferred from mortality to immortality. From your ordinary parents to an Eternal Parent. Check 1 John 5:1 “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.”
Once you became God’s son, He put His Holy Spirit in you. His seed (Living Word) remains in you. The Holy Spirit stays with you, preserves you and keeps you from sin. Read here: 1 John 3:9 “No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.”
The world and its corruption cannot overcome you sons of God. You have victory even over the evil systems of the world that work against us. It is through faith (strongly believing this truth) that we embrace our sonship and divine adoption and live victoriously.
Check 1 John 5:4 “for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”
So therefore do not just think of yourself as a natural (normal or ordinary person.) You have a born again spirit. God is no longer just the Creator but your real Father. He gave birth to all of us sons of God. We are born in the very image of God to rule over this world and execute judgment over the ruling spirits of the darkness.
*I call upon all sons of God wherever they may be to rise up and transform the world around them with the Light*.
