- Luke 1;16-17 – Turn hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just.
- Wisdom of the Just – a mindset and perspective that is yielded to God’s Word and is easily persuaded by it to act in conformity to it.
Malachi 4:5-6 – A “Fathering Spirit” – an Apostolic anointing established through HEARTS that reflect God’s heart
- Father Spirit – not based on GENDER
- A HEART issue – never a SUBMISSION issue; a FUNCTION not a POSITION
- Galatians 4:19(TPT)
- 1 Corinthians 4:15-16(TPT) – Fathers INSTRUCT and CORRECT from love
- Proverbs 4:1-2 – Fathers impart KNOWLEDGE and RESPONSIBILITY
- Cannot be a father without first being a COMMITTED SON
- Committed Son – possesses a COVENANT HEART
- 2 Kings 2:1 – Elijah and Elisha
- Vs. 10 – “If you SEE me…” – a father’s influence must be seen and acknowledged for his anointing to be passed on – Vs. 12 – “My Father, My Father!”
- Vs. 14 – Elisha “crosses over”
- Religionists have sought to master the Bible without allowing the Bible to MASTER THEM.
- Anointing flows THROUGH us not TO us.
- Spiritual provision does not FOLLOW you – it WAITS for you
- True fathers do not just bless – they BUILD
- We will never outgrow the oversight of our fathers.
