Many have suffered betrayal by loved ones. Making their trust a treasure not easily shared with others, including Papa.
So they remain a foreigner in His Kingdom.
Barred from unlimited access to His promises.
Deprived of a life of excellence and influence.
Trusting Papa increases your spiritual acuity. Giving you deeper insight into His character. Which makes it easier to unconditionally trust Him as a god of…
Excellence.
Relationship.
Holiness.
Papa holds disciples of Christ to a higher standard than nonbelievers. Treasuring His gift of salvation by living a life of personal and spiritual excellence.
Conform to the image of Christ.
Refuse to settle for spiritual mediocrity— status quo, anemic Christianity. Be determined to make a difference in BOTH the earthly and supernatural realms.
Constantly pursue an authentic, intimate relationship with the Trinity.
Love your heavenly Father. Whose children are so precious to Him that eternity without them was never an option.
Love Jesus. The God-man who endured unspeakable horror. So you and I could have what is His in heaven.
Love the Holy Spirit whose holy fire purifies and strengthens. Miraculously transforming a heart of stone into a heart of flesh. Beating in unison with Papa’s.
Obey Papa’s righteousness— His code of conduct.
It is Papa’s holiness, spiritual perfection that authenticates His sovereignty and trustworthiness. Guaranteeing His faithfulness.
To trust Papa you must…
Deny the desires of your flesh.
Say goodbye to YOUR dreams.
Be obedient. Even when your rational mind is screaming, “This is stupid! Illogical!”
Ignore the advice of others when it conflicts with what Papa has asked you to do.
By trusting Papa you are extending an open invitation to the Creator of the universe. One He promises to RSVP with an enthusiastic YES!
Transforming your life into one of legacy and joy.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
