Apostolic Fatherhood - Part 4

The most essential reality of the Universe is that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share an unbreakable relationship. This relational pattern can be seen in Genesis 1:26 when God said, "Let Us make man in Our image; according to Our likeness..." We can see from this passage that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work in a seamless union together. This is a relational pattern that God also established on earth when He made mankind in His image. The most essential component of this pattern is the father/son relationship. Another good example of this pattern is in John 10:30 when Jesus says that He and His father "are One." In the same way, we and the Father are one if we are truly sons in His kingdom. The problem though is that we, as immature sons, do not understand oneness with the Father. We do not understand that before God was Creator, He was Father; and before Jesus was the embodiment of the fivefold ministry gifts, He was Son. Fathering is so significant because family hood is derived from fatherhood. No Father = No Family. The enemy has tried so hard in our generation to destroy the role of the father in families. He has made sure that children either do not know their real father, or that they never experience a true relationship with him. This has resulted in an entire fatherless generation ensnared by an orphan heart. To learn more about turning the hearts of the fathers toward this generation, watch Apostolic Fatherhood with Jim Hodges.
