Whose child are you?

Whose child are you?

When I was a teenager I worked in a restaurant called Bowen's Family Buffet as a dish washer.  One day my boss, Larry, came up to me and said that a man had came by asking for me.  I asked him who the man was.  Larry said that he did not ask the man his name but he thought the man was my father.  I had not seen my father in a long time and Larry had never met my father so his answer surprised me.  I asked Larry why he thought the man was my father.  Larry said he thought the man was my father because we both walk the same way.

After work, I learned that my father had indeed came down to visit his mother and I went to see him.  He told me that he had stopped by the restaurant and asked Larry if I was available.  Larry had been completely right.  Larry knew whose child I was because of how I walked.

The truth is whose child you are is known by how you walk.  Even a child is known by his doings, whether those doings are pure and right like the Father of Truth (Proverbs 20:11).  Every one that devises evil is known as a child of the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) that does wickedness (Proverbs 24:8).  The Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) do what is right because they are His children (1 John 2:29).  The children of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) are righteous because they do what their father does.  The children of the Father of Lies are wicked because they do what their father does (1 John 3:7-8).  The children of the Father of Truth and the Father of Lies are known by whether or not they do that which the Father of Truth says is right (1 John 3:10).

Whose child are you?

The children of the Father of Truth are those that seek to do His will.  Children of Truth are not His children because they call the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) Lord but because they do the will of the Father of Truth (Matthew 7:21).  This is even true if the Father of Truth worked through them supernaturally to bless others in the name of the Man of Truth (Matthew 7:22-23).  Those that are in the family of the Man of Truth are those that do the will of the Father of Truth (Matthew 12:50).  It is not those that say they will do the will of the Father of Truth that are His children but those that actually do the will of the Father of Truth (Matthew 21:28-31).  His children put the will of their Father above their own will like the Man of Truth (Matthew 26:39).  Children of Truth do the will of the Father of Truth when it is so difficult that they have asked for another option and there is none like the Man of Truth (Matthew 26:42).  The children of the Father of Truth seek to do nothing except the will of their father like the Man of Truth (John 5:30).

The children of the Father of Lies are those that seek to do his will.  The Children of Lies are not his children because they call themselves his children but because they do what he desires (John 8:44).

Whose child are you?

The children of the Father of Truth act like their father.  His children look for ways to make peace (Matthew 5:9).  The Children of Truth seek to bless everyone, even those that persecute them, because their Father blesses everyone (Matthew 5:44-45).  His children seek to be like Him in every way (Matthew 5:48).  The Children of Truth seek to be loving and merciful because their Father is loving and merciful (Luke 6:35-36).  His children do everything for the long term good of others because they are following the example of the Man of Truth (Ephesians 5:1-2).  The children of the Father of Truth do not despise His correction because they want to be like Him (Hebrews 12:5-11).  His children do not love this world or the things of this world because this world and its things do not belong to their Father (1 John 2:15-16).

The children of the Father of Truth are his children by confidence that leads to action (faith). Those who are children in the family that the Father of Truth are promised Abraham are able be like Him through faith their Father (Galatians 3:6-8).  Those who are children in the family that the Father of Truth are promised Abraham are able be like their Father through faith in the Man of Truth that causes them to act like him (Galatians 3:25-27).

The children of the Father of Truth are His children because they do the work of their Father.  The Children of Truth are about His business like the Man of Truth (Luke 2:49)   His children desire to finish the work that He gives them to do like the Man of Truth (John 4:34).  The Children of Truth work whenever and wherever their Father works like the Man of Truth (John 5:17).  His children persist until they finish the work that He gives them to do like the Man of Truth (John 17:4).  The Children of Truth are able to do the work of their Father because they follow the leading of the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) (Romans 8:14).  His children do the work that He gives them without complaining or arguing (Philippians 2:13-15)  The children of the Father of Truth learn how to truly obey their Father by the things they suffer for doing His work just like the Man of Truth (Hebrews 5:8).

The children of the Father of Lies act like their father.  The Children of Lies belong in Hell because they do the same things as their father (Matthew 23:15).  They walk in the course of this world that is ran by their father (Ephesians 2:2).  The Children of Lies will suffer wrath with their father because they fulfill the evil desires of the flesh and their evil imaginations (Ephesians 2:3).  The children of the Father of Lies are disobedient to the Father of Truth because they act like their father (Ephesians 5:3-6).  The children of the Father of Lies will suffer the wrath of the Father of Truth because of their disobedient actions (Colossians 3:5-6).  The children of the Father of Lies are under the curse of the Father of Truth because of what they do (2 Peter 2:12-14).

Whose child are you?

You become a Child of Truth when you come into the House of Truth.  You come into the House of Truth when you do everything that the Man of Truth tells you because you believe that His Father raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth.
