Fruitfulness As Sons Empowers Us to Take Over

 Exo 19:5 AMP(5)Now therefore, if you will obey My voice in truth and

keep My covenant, then you shall be My own peculiar possession and treasure from among and above all peoples; for all the earth is Mine.

"peculiar"- jewel; a precious stoneex. we use "peculiar" stones to adorn our bodies. A diamond, a saphire, a topaz; uncommon stones and very beautiful. Being a precious stone; as you reveal the nature and character of God you display His fruit for all to see His glory and righteousness and you become a concrete-ized form of His fruit. Therefore you have become unto Him a fruit-cake. This Xmas season you can rest in the knowledge that you may be a little different than those that are in the world....but the Father made you that way! God sees His Son manifesting His life and He's proud and blessed by you!!!

* You cannot produce fruit; it is the result of a abiding in Jesus;

* Joh 15:5-8 NIV "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (6) If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. (7) If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. (8) This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

Isa 9:1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan—Isa 9:2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.

Isa 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

We could say that God has created man for three things. He has ordained him for:

1)a loving relationship

2)for son-ship 3)dominion

Unto us a child is born…unto us a Son is Given.

The Son and Son’s of the Kingdom

Gal 4:4-5 NIV But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, (5) to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.

“Teknon” –To Be Born Into. 77 Times translated “Child.” Not typically used as a reference to Jesus. It speaks of Living in a Justified State; ie redeemed/purchased.

Luke 2:48-49—When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, your father and I have been anxiously looking for you. "And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for me? Did you not know that I had to be in My father's house?“

Two Different Greek Words Used for “Son”

When translated as "sons of God", TEKNON emphasizes the fact that we were born into God's family.

John 1.12—But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:

1Jn 3:2 KJV Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Birth makes us a child (teknon); adoption makes us a son (huios)

Matthew 3:16-17—After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and} lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said,

“This is My beloved [HUIOS] Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”

“Huios”=A mature son. Signifies the relationship of offspring to parent. To enjoy certain privileges.

Huios involves “likeness.” “Like father, like son” (Matt. 5:45,48). It was typical Hebrew usage to employ the word “son” to express likeness of the father. Peacemakers will be called God’s [Huios] sons because they are like God (Matt. 5:9). God’s likeness, His image, will be “stamped” upon those who have been brought to maturity and adopted as [Huios] sons (Rom. 8:29; I John 3:2-3)

A child does not automatically become a son

Gal 4:1 NIV What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.

Luk 2:52 NIV And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Adoption:Gal 4:4-7 NIV(4) But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law,(5) to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.(6) Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."(7) So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir. Gal 4:5 KJV To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

uihothesiahwee-oth-es-ee'-ahthe placing as a son, that is, adoption (figuratively Christian sonship in respect to God): - adoption (of children, of sons).  "to place as a son“ this comes about with our obedience to the Father.

Transformation Is what the Lord is seeking.

Transformation- the need for the body of Christ to be moving in the fullness of his nature.

If we will allow transformation, the establishing of the Lord as our life; if we will allow the inward reality to catch up to where we are in power, we will see something that we’ve not seen… authority.

“You forgot that I’m looking for the fruit of My life and nature through you.”

At the beginning of 2012 at the beginning of 2012, the Lord spoke to me and said this:

"if I shake it, you can take it."

Heb 12:28-29 NIV Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,

This year, I believe the Lord is telling me that he is causing us to "cross over to take over."

Is33:10-Isa 33:10 NIV "Now will I arise," says the LORD. "Now will I be exalted; now will I be lifted up.
