“Seek a spiritual father or spiritual parent, more spiritually mature than you, who is willing to take you under their wings, as a parent in the faith, for guidance and accountability; that you also may be effective and mature spiritual father for others.
But first seek a parent for yourself, so that you can be made ready for service. There are few spiritual fathers, which are able to adequately serve in that capacity, who totally trust in Me, and that I can trust.
They must be filled with the Spirit, have a pure, loving and compassionate heart toward others; in giving, helping, not self seeking, but considering others well being toward maturity.
My desire is to freely bestow blessings, wisdom, power and authority to those who have proven themselves and can be trusted. What I have given them is for equipping of the saints, to reach the fullness of the stature of Christ: And not to be used for selfish greed, or gain; nor to inflate their pride and ego.
But instead to be an effective servant before Me as a minister, willing to share blessings and substance with those in need, and who desire to have what you have to give. For it is not merely material things which are needed, but spiritual and emotional wisdom and advice to help guide them in My ways, and according to My purpose.
As you know, theological knowledge and learning does not make a genuine spiritual father; but it is personal experience through refinement and seasoning through hardships, obstacles, trials and tribulations, and having overcome them. They know and recognize the schemes and traps set by the Devil, and know how to avoid them and overtake them.
There is no greater joy than to overcome the seemingly insurmountable mountain you’re facing; the battles and conflicts caused by the powers of darkness; and the many assumed impossible obstacles set before you. With My power and authority working in and through you, all things are possible, when you devote yourself to prayer and continual communion with Me.
Some may think that they don’t need anyone to be accountable to, and claim that they are only accountable to God. But they don’t realize how a king operates in a kingdom; with a chain of military command. Those who promote this dangerous attitude, operates in self pride and ego, assuming that they know more than the kings mighty men, who are his trusted commanders.
There is a spiritual war taking place, and the Commander and Chief gives His secret battle plans to those chosen commanders, which are closest to Him, and who He trusts. I seek those who are humble and submit to authority, willing to be trained and prepared for action; who are obedient and ready and willing to act when the order is given.
Scripture is clear regarding the fruits of pride and the fruit of humility. To be great in My kingdom, you must be the servant of all. There is no greater example than this than Christ, the Son of the Living God, who gave His life for all, to become a true Father, the new Adam of spiritual father which fallow.
So to be a true father, you must become the likeness to the image and nature of Christ. Those who have given much, have experienced much, and have been victorious in much to become My leaders, and fathers in the faith.
As king of My kingdom, I give My greatest power and authority to those who I have chosen to lead others, who have developed into the full stature of Christ, who have proven themselves trustworthy, and who can lead through example: For they have established themselves in the little things, and they have been promoted to the greater things.
They have been placed in possessions of authority and power, such as high ranking military officers, which extend to the top Commander and Chief, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, Jesus Christ / Yashua.
So who desires to become fathers in the faith? It is those who have overcome, and who have proven themselves worthy through trials and tribulation. They have humbled themselves as servants dependent and obedient to Me. They spend time with Me, intimately know me and My ways through scripture and wisdom: They hear and recognize My voice, follow Me, responding in obedience, alert with oil in their lamps, ready to respond to My call to step forth in faith. And through the activation of their faith, I will fight the battle and be their strength to fight in every battle and situation.
