FINDING SPIRITUAL FAMILY

INTRODUCTION:
LIKE THE INTRODUCTION ON THE TOPIC OF REBIRTH, CHOOSING OUR BIOLOGICAL FAMILY
IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL. BUT BIRTH ALWAYS GIVES US AN OPPURTUNITY TO HAVE
FAMILY AS OUR IDENTITY EITHER BIOLOGICAL OF SPIRITUAL. SPIRITUAL FAMILY IDENTITY
IS A CONNECTION BEYOND PHYSICAL DESTINY.
BLOOD CONNECTION
 YOU AND I CAME ON EARTH COVERED WITH THE BLOOD OF OUR MOTHER. THE UNCLEAN,
SINNER’S BLOOD AND LIKE THEM, WE ARE THE SAME SINNERS BECAUSE WE ARE BLOOD
RELATED TO OUR PARENTS.
 REBIRTH IS IMPORTANT TO TRANSFER US FROM CURSED LIFE TO A HOLY LIFE.
 REBIRTH IS OUR DOOR TO ENTER GOD’S FAMILY BUT WE NEED TO BE COVERED WITH THE
BLOOD OF HIS SON.
Heb 9:22
22 In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For
without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. New Living Translation
 WE BECOME PART OF SPIRITUAL FAMILY AND CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER AS
BROTHERS AND SISTERS BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS.HIS FATHER BECOME ALSO
OUR FATHER.
PURPOSE RELATED
 OUR CONNECTION WITH OUR FAMILY DEFINES OUR PURPOSE BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR
MODEL OR EXAMPLES WHETHER GOOD OR BAD.
 WHEN YOU BECOME PART OF GOD’S FAMILY YOUR EXISTENCE CAN BE EASILY DEFINE. IT IS
TO HONOR THE FATHER WHO IS HEAVEN, FOLLOW HIS WORD AND LOVE HIM WITH ALL
OUR MIGHT AND OUR PHYSICAL EXPRESSION OF LOVING HIM IS LOVING OUR NEIGHBOR
THE SAME LOVE THAT GOD GAVE US
Mark 12:30-31
30 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all
your mind, and with all your strength.'* This is the first commandment.* 31 And the second,
like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'* There is no other commandment
greater than these." NKJV
 BETTER TO FIND A SPIRITUAL HOME WHOSE CONCERN IS YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH,
ACCEPT AS WHAT YOU ARE, THAT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR SERVICE TO GOD AND A PLACE
THAT YOU CAN WORSHIP GOD FREELY.
 ALWAYS REMEMBER, FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS NEVER BECOME A RELIGION.
VICTORY TO PASS ON
 INSIDE SPIRITUAL HOME, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO BE MENTORED, CORRECTED,
CHANGED, AND TO BE TRAINED.
 AS YOU COMMIT, YOU WILL GROW EVERY MONTH AND LATER YOU WILL DISCOVER YOUR
GIFTS FROM GOD WHICH IS BEYOND HUMAN TALENTS. YOU WILL USE IT FOR THE GLORY
OF JESUS CHRIST.
 YOU WILL BE EMPOWERED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE FRUIT OF IT WILL MANIFEST
WITH HUMILITY.
  EVERYTHING YOU’VE LEARNED, AND ACHIEVED AS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST, YOU NEED TO
PAST IT ON TO OTHERS WHO ALSO BELIEVE IN CHRIST. THAT’S THE ESSENCE OF HAVING
FAMILY.
Matt 28:18-20
18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in a the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I
am with you always, to the very end of the age."
NIV
APPLICATION:
FAMILY IS NOT YOUR RELIGION AND RELIGION DOES NOT GUARANTEE A FAMILY
RELATIONSHIPS.
Gal 6:10
When we have the opportunity to help anyone, we should do it. But we should give special
10
attention to those who are in the family of believers.
NCV
CONCLUSION:
THE PRAYER THAT JESUS TAUGHT US BEGINS IN AN INTIMATE RELATIOSHIPS – “OUR
FATHER IN HEAVEN.” YOU CANNOT PRAY THIS PRAYER UNLESS YOU ARE RELATED TO
GOD, MEANING YOU MUST BE HIS CHILD.
FIND YOUR SPIRITUAL FAMILY THAT NEVER TEACH RELIGION NOR INSULTS OTHER BELIEFS
BUT TAUGHT YOU HOW TO RESPECT.
SPIRITUAL FAMILY IS NOT PERFECT, THEY ARE JUST FORGIVEN. THEREFORE, EXPECT
INSIDE OF THAT FAMILY YOU MAY ENCOUNTER PEOPLE WHO ALSO IN THE SAME PROCESS
OF CHANGE LIKE YOU.
