The Desire of the Father
What does the Father desire?
That none should perish…all should have eternal life
The saints be perfected, so they can serve!
That the body of Christ be edified.
That we all come together in the unity of the faith.
That we would all know the Son of God and grow unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we would grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine…
That we speak the truth in love!
That you not forget the least of your brethren
That you deny yourself
That you pray for spiritual gifts
That you be made whole…
That you would be sanctified
That you would offer yourself a living sacrifice
The Father desires that we seek the Kingdom first.
Of course He also desires that we find in Him all sufficiency in all things
He desires to meet all of our needs through His presence in the Body!
That none should perish…all should have eternal life
The saints be perfected, so they can serve!
That the body of Christ be edified.
That we all come together in the unity of the faith.
That we would all know the Son of God and grow unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
