Our Purpose is Relationship

Our purpose for living is to accept the family relationship that Jesus provided us as God’s children and members of His kingdom family. Our identity is children who work in His kingdom, not workers that are also children. God never called us by any religious name, including Christianity. Drop it because this identity and destiny are from the world, not God.

The Jesus we are to recognize as our Lord and Savior and the Son of God brought us a relationship. It is called the Kingdom of God and is a governmental union between us and God the Father. The Father is the King and priest of this relationship. He is the absolute ruler, and we are the ruled. We are His children who mature to become ambassadors, kings, priests, brides, and wives.

Jesus was king and priest but now has relinquished that authority to the Father and has assumed the position of the prince of the kings of the earth. The Father is in charge of the kingdom at this time. We join in that relationship by confessing we are His children and household members. That is our relationship with Him. If we accept any other identification, we deny our relationship with Him, and Jesus will deny us before the Father.

Because the Father’s destiny was to be in charge at this time, Jesus told us to pray to the Father, and Jesus would do whatsoever we asked so that the Father might receive glory. Jesus has retained His duties as the High Priest of our profession and will carry out and give us the desires of our hearts, whether good or evil. Your daily words are potent when backed by the blood covenant promises of God and carried out by Jesus.

If you plan to go to Jesus when you die, you have made up another Jesus. The Jesus of the Bible promised that He would come to us, not that we could go to Him. When we die, we must already be with Him; otherwise, it is too late to join Him. The Apostle Paul made this very evident to us.

Galatians 2:20 KJV (20) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Our old spirit, along with his sins, was crucified with Christ, and He gave us His spirit at that time so that we might be resurrected in Him and live forever. Jesus called this being born again by the Spirit of God. It is a fact in our lives but must be accepted and confessed for it to become our reality.
