The Unveiling of God’s Glorious Sons and Daughters
When there is a mask it covers our identities. The same in our spiritual life. When we got born again, it started off the spirit man.
We are spirit soul and body and our spirit got born again. When we are born again we are like baby and this baby will grow.
We have a purpose in our lives.
The Lord wants to show the world, to remove the veil so that the world can see every sons and daughters.
Anything born from above is glorious.
We will go back to heaven one day forever and ever.
The bible tells us about Jesus’ second coming.
There will be a unveiling of the world the glorious sons and daughters
When He died on the cross He gave us His identity.
There is nothing we can do to earn this sonship
Romans 8:18-19 TPT
18 I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us.
19 The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!
Everything Christ is and has, they have the grace, the righteousness
God is excited to show the world His new creation
Romans 8:20-21 TPT
20 For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility[a] resulting from the consequences of human sin. But now, with eager expectation, 21 all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children
The final redemption is coming very soon
Due to Adam’s sin, the world suffered. But Jesus has redeemed man. With eager expectation, ALL creation LONGS for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children
Because of Jesus we are set free
Veil is removed. Christ is sent by God for the purpose we are set free from sin.
We no longer need to experience guilt, sickness, pain
The main freedom is freedom in the spirit
Every part of our physical bodies will manifest the glory that is inside us
Jesus is our Saviour and our Healer
Romans 8:22 TPT
22 To this day we are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation, as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth.
The ending is very exciting
We are in the last hour of the final happening
Romans 8:23 TPT
23 And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as God’s sons and daughters—including our physical bodies being transformed
There is a catching up of the saints before the tribulations. We will be given a new body.
We will wait for the new body
On this earth we are also promised of the divine health.
We are under the law of the spirit of Christ
Not in the law of sickness and death
Psalms 42–1-2
Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
Romans 8:15 (KJV)
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Cry – Krazo
Speak with a loud voice
Cry of a raven
Baby is crying because he or she is hungry
Psalms 42:7
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
There is a need for God in every human being. This need calls to God
God knows and hear our needs and come to us.
Psalm 107:10 TPT
10 Some of us once sat in darkness,
living in the dark shadows of death.
We were prisoners to our pain, chained to our regrets.
A lot of people do a lot of charities. They try to cover the guilty conscience.
The one who never gone through is self righteous
There is hope
Everyone of us have a criminal record
All of us have sin. Sin deserve death in the spirit
Hell is a prison for the sinners
Spiritual prison
The wages of sin is death
How wonderful is the grace of God. We dun have to live in chains of regrets
Because of sin, people live in regrets
Acts 13:38-39 TPT
38 “So listen, friends! Through this Jesus, the forgiveness of sins is offered to you. 39 Everyone who believes in him is set free from sin and guilt—something the law of Moses had no power to do.
You can now have a new life!
You get life instead of death. God sent Jesus Christ
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Jesus blood was shed for us. It protects us. We are protected by the blood of Jesus
We are given a new chapter to start our lives
Isaiah 43:18-19 TPT
“Stop dwelling on the past. Don’t even remember these former things 19 I am doing something brand new, something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures.
Don’t you perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert.
John 15:4-5 AMPC
4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.
5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing
Micah 7:8
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The LORD will be a light to me.
Romans 8:26-27 TPT
26 And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.
27 God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.
Romans 8:28 TPT
28 So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose
Romans 8:29-32 TPT
29 For he knew all about us before we were born and he destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of his Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like him.
30 Having determined our destiny ahead of time, he called us to himself and transferred his perfect righteousness to everyone he called. And those who possess his perfect righteousness he co-glorified with his Son!
31 So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us? 32 For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all,[a] he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give
The eagles will not let any harm come against their baby eagles
Final verdict – “not guilty”
No crimes are punished twice
Jesus was punished for us. Even when we are guilty ones, we go free
Romans 8:35-37 TPT
35 Who could ever separate us from the endless love of God’s Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish his love toward us. Troubles, pressures, and problems are unable to come between us and heaven’s love. What about persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats? No, for they are all impotent to hinder omnipotent love,
36 even though it is written:
All day long we face death threats for your sake, God. We are considered to be nothing more than sheep to be slaughtered!
37 Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!
Romans 8:39 TPT
39 There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!
John 14:12 TPT
12 “I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!
If there is holy spirit within us, we can do what He has done and even greater miracles
John 14:16-18 TPT
16–17 And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth, who will be to you a friend just like me—and he will never leave you. The world won’t receive him because they can’t see him or know him. But you will know him intimately, because he will make his home in you and will live inside you.
18 “I promise that I will never leave you helpless or abandon you as orphans—I will come back to you!
We cry out like a raven.
We are never abandoned.
With the hunger to learn and grow
