Day 36 "You Are A Child Of God"
Adopted by Abba Father
Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!
We are now at the final attribute on our 40 Day Journey…Child of God. Can you think of a better title? I believe the full revelation of this truth leads to drastic life transformation Let this truth flow from your head to your heart today. Will you allow yourself to claim this truth as your own identity? What’s stopping you? Selah.
Let’s see how John describes the manner in which this truth is even possible. “But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].” John 1:12-13 The Amplified Bible
I’ve often heard our new life in Christ described as “taking off” the old self and “putting on” the new self with a robe of righteousness. Can you imagine the transformation? - handing over the dirt and filth of sin and receiving the pure white and spotless robe of forgiveness, acceptance, freedom?
How do you describe being born of God? Write down your thoughts as you ponder this great blessing. If you’re struggling to accept this truth, go to God in prayer, and he will reveal where the enemy has lied to you and has a stronghold in your belief system. Pray for God to demolish the stronghold so that you can fully grasp his love for you and your true identity as a Child of God. Selah.
Take time to worship your Abba Father and cry out to him. He sees your deepest parts.

“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but we should behave like God’s very own children, adopted into the bosom of his family, and calling to him, ‘Father, Father.’”
