I have observed God’s favor and blessings on the lives of those who have learned to respect and appreciate God’s spiritual authority in the lives of those God has called them to serve.
Eph.6:1=3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord [that is, accept their guidance and discipline as His representatives], for this is right [for obedience teaches wisdom and self-discipline].
HONOR [esteem, value as precious] YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER [and be respectful to them]  — this is the first commandment with a promise —
SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU,  AND THAT YOU MAY HAVE A LONG LIFE ON THE EARTH.
Let’s talk about it.

God saves us, matures us and perfects in His time and in His way. However we do have the responsibility to go on into maturity and we do that by faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Our time in God’s instruction book, the Bible, and obeying His instructions is our responsibility.

When we are rooted and grounded in the Father’s love we are filled with all the fulness of God.
Eph.3:17-20 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love,
be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love];
and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].
Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,

Ps.62:5-8 For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him,
For my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation;
My fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged.
On God my salvation and my glory rest;
He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.
Trust [confidently] in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him.
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

1 Jn 2:15 Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Experiencing the Father’s embrace will cast out all fear and empower us to live a victorious christian life. Join me and let’s talk about it.

There seems to be at least three levels of fruit producer in the body of Christ, fruit, more fruit and much fruit. Jesus said some brought forth 30, 60, and 100 percent of fruit in good ground. Let’s look at why it is that seeds in good ground bring forth different amounts of fruits. Join me and let’s talk about it.

Rom.12:1-2 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.
And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

God’s ways are so much greater than our ways, what sometimes seems to be a curse to us, God turns it into a blessing for us and His kingdom. Join me and let’s talk about it.

Pr.3:5-8 Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart
And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, 
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].
Do not be wise in your own eyes; 
Fear the LORD [with reverent awe and obedience] and turn [entirely] away from evil.
It will be health to your body [your marrow, your nerves, your sinews, your muscles — all your inner parts] 
And refreshment (physical well-being) to your bones.
