Spiritual Growth

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Unsurrendered Deceived Surrendered Deceived Surrendered Undeceived

Spiritual mothers and fathers are moving more deeply into an intimate relationship with the eternal God of the universe.

1 John 2:13: I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. 1 John 2:14: I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning.

THEN THE LORD SAID, "SHALL I HIDE FROM ABRAHAM WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO?”

Moses When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.”

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” Jeremiah "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…”

David “You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar (caringly involved) in all of my ways.”

Jesus washing disciples’ feet.

John 17:3 “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”

friend? an intimate friend? to know that God wants to ☻ How intimate are you with Jesus Christ? ☻ Is He an acquaintance? a casual friend? a close friend? an intimate friend? ☻ What does it do to your heart to know that God wants to be your most intimate friend?

SPIRITUAL PARENTS PARTNER WITH GOD IN SHEPHERDING GOD’S PEOPLE

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

SPIRITUAL Mothers and Fathers have cultivated the art of HEARING God speaking in their inner-most-human spirits.

They interpret the Bible from the resurrection side of the cross.

Spiritual mothers and fathers have a growing understanding that God is more immense and complex than anyone can fathom.

☻Jesus is 100% God and 100% Man. ☻ He was Virgin Born. ☻ He died a substitutionary death on the cross for the sin of the world. ☻ He was physically resurrected. ☻ All who believe on Him as their personal Lord and Savior have their sins forgiven and receive eternal life.

Spiritual parents never outgrow the basic fundamentals of the Christian life-Be warned!

SPIRITUAL MOTHERS AND FATHERS ARE SO INTIMATE WITH GOD THAT THEY FULLY EXPERIENCE HIS COMFORT WHEN THEY ARE HURTING.

The people who know me best are the ones who know me in my pain.

SPIRITUAL PARENTS ACTUALLY HURT WHEN GOD THE FATHER HURTS.

Genesis 6:6 “The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.”

“The people who know God best are the ones who know Him in His pain.”

Jesus wept over Jerusalem In the Garden of Gethsemane

Matthew 25:34-40 Then the King will say to those on his right, “Come you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.”

I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you visited me.” The King will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”

The prayers of spiritual mothers and fathers are powerful prayers. James 5:16 The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Evangelism is the ultimate goal of spiritual mothers and fathers.

Mark 4:28 “All by itself the soil produces grain-first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”

Hind’s Feet on High Places “Much Afraid”

Evangelism is the ultimate goal of spiritual mothers and fathers.

comforting Him over a hurt He might be experiencing. ☻ Share an experience when God comforted you. ☻ Have you ever hurt for Jesus when He was hurting? ☻ What might He be hurting over right now? ☻ Consider talking to God and comforting Him over a hurt He might be experiencing.
