JUDGING WITH THE FATHER

John 8:16 KJV “And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.”

One of the most powerful awareness that anyone can have is to know that the heavenly father is with him. The Lord said He does nothing on His own, but in union with the Father. Someone once said, God with you is majority. As a matter of fact, God with you makes you unbeatable. David the psalmist sang that “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me.” The Lord Jesus was on top of every situation because of the awareness of the Father’s presence with Him. At the tomb of Lazarus, He made one of His public prayers. He said Father I thank you, that you have heard me. He added that, so that the people would know that the Father has sent Him John 11:41,42. This means He lived in the consciousness of the Father’s presence that, it was natural for Him to command Lazarus to come back to life without making any prayers to the Father as He did.

The Lord Jesus said, He judges all things with the Father, on the bases of what the Father tells him. John 8:28 KJV ………., and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.” How does He do it. He asks the Father within Him. The Father in Him is the Holy Spirit within Him. It goes as an inner dialogue. There are certain instances that He just had to act on the word of God, and there were other moments that He had to enquire about what to do. He has lived with and in the Spirit all throughout His being, and so He knows or hears perfectly what the Spirit says. This is what He means to judge with the Father. The operation is that He stands in the stead of the Father to act. Whatever He does is for the Father and so He does it with the full backing of the Father.

 Every Christian has the same love relationship from the Father.

The Father loves us just as He loves the Son. John 17:23 KJV” I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.” Please come to think about it, God loves you just as He loved the Son. This means God has no favourites, yet, it is your response to His promptings that make each son experience His presence and power differently.

You have the same audience with the Father like Jesus had. He backs you just as He backed Jesus during His earthly ministry. Please from today never entertain fear or be hesitant about acting for God, for as He did in the days of Jesus, He would do likewise for you.

 You are in partnership with Him and so you are simply unbeatable.

CONFESSION

 The Father is with me. He is in me. He loves me just as He loved the Lord Jesus. He responds to me just like He responded to the Lord Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I take His place now and bring His blessings, healing and peace to men. Thank you, Father.

THOUGHT:  YOU AND GOD ARE SIMPLY UNBEATABLE
