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...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...

A Promise is a Promise

When you were a child did your parents ever promise to take you somewhere special for your birthday? Maybe they promised you could stay up late with them the night of your birthday? You never doubted their promises did you? I mean, a promise is a promise. If they told you they were going to do something you just knew it was going to happen! I remember how excited I was when my parents promised me something and they gave it to me!  I’ll never forget how I trusted them. Neither can I forget the promises God has made and kept for me in my lifetime. He has always been faithful to deliver what He has promised to me. Sometimes the evil one tries to convince me God hasn’t delivered though. He tries to convince me God changes His mind. Its times like this that I will to remain strong. I read what God says and declare how great my God is! Just because we don’t see His fulfillment according to our understanding at that particular time does not mean He hasn’t done it or isn’t going to do ...
