Father Can You Hear Me?

What in this world could possibly be more important than the relationship we have with our fathers? I’m talking here of our earthly fathers, but I am also referring to that most important relationship we must have with our heavenly Father. We can blame our lack of this important relationship on them; to tell the truth, haven’t we all done this before? Sure, they were too busy most of the time for us. We wished they hadn’t been. Still, we shared some responsibility for being close by not including them in what we were doing, especially, as we were growing up.  Didn’t we feel we needed our friends more back then? And so, after we left home, got married, had babies of our own, we were then too busy for our fathers. Sad, it is!

I don’t know, maybe your earthly father is still around, mine is not. He passed away several years ago. So many times in my life I wanted more quality time with my father.  Many times, in the past, I have thought about how in all those years I could have found more opportunities to be with my dad, to include him, and not wait for him to reach out to me. I have cried, of course I have. I cry now even as I share this with you.  I would like to tell him how much I have loved him, and still love him!  I can, now, even though it’s impossible to know the miles between here and heaven; this kind of love honors God, our heavenly Father, as it reaches my earthly father who is now in heaven with Him. This is my prayer to my earthly father. 

[“Oh dad, as you sit in heaven, I want to tell you I am sorry for all those opportunities we had but didn’t take to spend more time together. I know truly you wanted them just like I did, but for some stupid reason we didn’t take that precious time when we could have. There was a lot of my life I could have shared with you as there must have been more of yours you would have liked to share with me. Our relationship hasn’t ended though, no, no, this Godly Father you and I share will see to it that we will never be apart again. His Son Jesus saw to that for us over 2000 years ago. Thank you, Jesus.
Father, can you hear me? I believe you can and now have.”

your son,
Melton]

Friends, if your father is still alive, it’s not too late to forgive and forget any past differences or hurts Satan would like to perpetuate between you and your dad (or mother.) Take the responsibility now of being the one to repair your relationship with them. It’s true, love conquers all hurts!

I would like to share a video and some music from a DVD performed by Mike and the Mechanics in London. The song is; “The Living Years.” It is about this father/son or daughter relationship I feel is so important. I hope you enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8mPS0-2Xq8&ob=av3n

You may also be blessed by reading this end-time prophesy about fathers and their children in the last book and chapter of the Old Testament:  Malachi 4:4-5.

I hope you will pass this message along to someone who may need to rebuild their relationship with their father.

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
