RELATIONSHIP - A CHILD OF GOD

John 1:12 NKJV

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

HOLY SPIRIT IN US

Galatians 4:6 NLT

And because we are HIS children, GOD has sent the SPIRIT of HIS SON into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”

PROMISE GUARANTEED BY SEAL OF HOLY SPIRIT

Ephesians 1:13-14 NKJV

13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

HOLY SPIRIT BLESSING

Romans 8:16 NKJV

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God

LORD, TEACH ME TO PRAY

Matthew 6:9b-13

9 Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts (our sins/trespasses), as we forgive our debtors (those who have sinned/trespassed against us)

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

THE FATHER’S BLESSING

Numbers 6:22-27 NKJV – The Priestly Blessing

22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:

24 “The LORD bless you and keep you;

25 The LORD make His face shine upon you,

And be gracious to you;

26 The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,

And give you peace.” ’

27 “So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”
