One aspect of FATHER having me write daily it to encourage the reader to renew his or her mind. What does that entail? Our minds must be cleansed of past teachings of man which conflict with FATHER’S Word and Divine Intent. Additionally, we must be enlightened in areas where we received no teaching or revelation in order to understand who we are in Christ. A man who has been empowered but is not aware of his state will simply remain dormant and unnecessarily struggle. Let us remove erroneous past conclusions based on our sense knowledge.
FATHER knew us before HE formed us in the womb thus we were sent at this time in history to impact the world according to HIS purpose which works in us. No other person has your unique qualities and calling so you should not remain passive in this hurting world. You and I have been sent for such a time as this. Let us embrace this Truth and fulfill our walk of Love as personal representatives of Our Heavenly Father.
If we are serious about renewing our mind, reading and quoting aloud the following Scriptures will solidify our belief of being sent by FATHER just as Jesus was sent. How appropriate that Jesus’ Words declaring He was sent by FATHER are found in nearly every chapter of the Gospel of Love, i.e., the Gospel of John. As you read each verse below, quote it aloud and dwell on it. This is one way to renew your mind and fully embrace the importance Jesus placed on “being sent”. As we dwell on this Truth, we will begin to embrace the reality that we too are sent by FATHER. We will then “know that we know” we have been sent just as our Elder Brother was sent.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in the Gospel of John:
1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
3:28 “You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’
3:34 “For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.”
4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”
5:23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
5:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life”
5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
5:36 But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.
5:37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.
5:38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
6:39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
6:44 “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
6:57 “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.”
7:16 Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.”
7:18 “He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.”
7:28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
7:29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
8:16 “And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. 17 It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”
8:26 “I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
8:29 “And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”
8:42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.”
9: 4 “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.”
10:36 “Do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me.”
11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.”
12:44 Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. 45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.”
12:49 “For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”
13:20 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”
14:24 “He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.”
14:26 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
15:21 “But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.”
16:5 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’”
17:1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
17:8 “For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. 9 “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.
17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. 20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one”
17:25 “O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
The FATHER of Love sends you and me into this hurting world to minister life and Love on HIS behalf. Let us shed any reluctance to go forth in HIS Name for HE is with us.
