But
as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even
to them that believe on His name:
John
1:12 KJV
Previously,
we said that because you are born again, God has given you power to become His
son. We also attempted to establish that the fact that a person has this God
given power doesn’t mean he or she will use it and in reality there are many
born again persons that do not use this power thereby not walking in their
authority as sons of God.
How
do you use this Power?
First
and foremost, you have to walk in the conviction and conscious knowledge that
you are a child of God; that God is your father and that your father cares for
you.
You
have to live in the knowledge that God watches jealously over you and that even
the hair on your head are numbered by your father in heaven…He cares for you.
One
important fact that differentiates sons from slaves is that a true son knows
His father. Anyone could know about his Father but a true son doesn’t just know
about his father, he knows his father.
I
want you to know that God wants you to know Him. He does not just want you to
know about Him; His Power, His love, no. God almighty wants to have a personal
relationship with you.
It
is a process…
This
happens as you grow in the spirit; as you get to know God more and more. As you
pray/talk to Him, He also talks to you; He talks to you through the Bible (He
is talking to you right now through this Devotional). He talks to you in your
spirit.
Because
your father in heaven watches over every detail of your life, you will then be
careful to make sure every detail of your life is lived in a way that is
pleasing to Him. You have to go around with a God consciousness; a
consciousness that God watches and watches over you and nothing can happen
to you by accident. You have to live your life with a consciousness to want to
please this Father who loves you so much.
