The Father’s DNA

The Father’s DNA

The DNA of the Father flows through our veins. Sit with that Truth for a moment. The Father’s DNA flows through your veins.

Do you ever question the certainty of your salvation? I think it’s fair to say we have all wondered at one point or another. Our wonderings only make sense when we consider our human limitations, right?

But, here’s this . . .

The dynamic Truth that silences any questionable doubt is found in the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

Is this a cliche statement? Sure, it is.

I think it appears cliche because, at times, it is said in word rather than from the heart. Perhaps this truth was said to us at the wrong time or from the wrong person. Perhaps we’ve shared this truth without reflection of its depth. Certainly, these words easily sound cliche.

However, when we purpose to let this Truth seep deep within our heart, then the cliche crumbles at the presence of His Majesty.

Jesus’ blood sets us free from the very chain of doubt.

Consider this . . . When we believe on Jesus Christ as the Way to God’s love, then doubt of eternal separation from God is covered, washed, purified, erased and replaced with God’s Love!

This means doubt is as far as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:12)

Who are we to allow satan, man or ourselves to look for that long-lost sin nature and bring him back? Don’t do it! Don’t look around for what was; look, rather, at what Is.

The Father’s DNA flows through our veins because of the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

It’s On Our Cue Card

- JaclynPalmer 2 Comments

Don’t you love singing classic “Lord, I need You” and new lyrics like “I hear your song of victory ring over me?”

Lord, sitting here with these two songs overwhelming my heart, I see it.

I see our cry of hourly need, and I hear your song of victory, and, in that, I see the meticulously stitched fabric of comfort and protection.

Oh, my God, how great thou art! That each hour we call, your presence is there! And, and the devil flees!

It’s one grand play in which the stage is set, the lines are rehearsed, the end is known. It’s at the ready; it’s always a standing ovation.

If (Lord, if) the cue is heard.

The cry that starts the scene.

The plea that notifies the cast that “It’s Time.”

The cue. Lord, that’s our cue.

Father, why do we, your children, forget our lines? Why do we forget our voice? Oh, Father, why do we forget your presence?

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that we will speak our need boldly before the throne of Grace this moment. I pray that your song of victory will ring over the heart in prayer. I pray, Lord Jesus, that in your Name satan will flee from the presence of your child this very minute. I pray victory, Lord, your standing, ever-present victory will reign!

Filled Up and Spilled Out

Filled up and spilled out. Do you ever feel this way? Is that a dumb question? An obvious one? It’s the beauty of our individuality. We all favor an area in which we fill up, Right? It could be technology, maps, beauty tips, education, news, general knowledge, sports…the list is endless.

Then we get that opportunity when somebody cares about our “specialty.” And we spill it all out. We are passionate about what we fill up on; we are primed and ready to engage in discourse!

I love it. It is the beauty of our individuality and an easy source of conversational connection. To share what we know and to learn from others. It’s awesome.

Jesus knew God. That’s an obvious statement. A deep theological one, but we are going to stick with the Simple Truth of it all.

Jesus knew God; God knew and loved Jesus before the foundation of creation. When Jesus entered into humanity, he was filled up with the love of God.

Oh, how he spilled out that love!

What catches my breath as I read the conclusion to His prayer over us are these words, “And I will continue to make it (God’s name) known.”

He will continue! Friend, he left this time of prayer and walked into the garden of Gethsemane. He prayed again in this garden. Not his will, but God’s… Then He was escorted out of Gethsemane betrayed and alone.

Trials. Abuse. Beatings. Hatred. Betrayal. Mocking. Heaviness. Forgiveness. Pain. Love. Acceptance. Thirst. Completion. Darkness. Sin. Sorrow. Death. The Grave. Victory! Oh, Sweet Victory!!

And STILL (above all that) Jesus is not done making God’s name known! Jesus is alive. Forevermore! God’s name is forever being proclaimed!

Oh, that you and I fill up on His Name and spill it out, so the world will know that God sent Jesus to be the Savior.

“Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.

I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
