Summary:
Today we are losing the separation between the Father and us. Just like His firstborn son, the Father is bringing forth many sons today through their relationship with Him. As we enter into this deep relationship with the Father, we find that we are decreasing and He is increasing. It is all about the Father and His expression through His sons.
Show Notes:
There is a unique manifestation of the Father's nature in each son He has created.
Christ was our example and we follow in His footsteps as sons.
Each day we must drop our per-conceived ideas and simply let the Father define who we are.
The more we move into this confidence of our relationship with the Father, we simply don't need to worry about who we are because it's all about Him.
Titles and positions mean nothing to His sons. He is all and in all.
We know who we are in Him. The more we lose whatever the importance of who we are, the more He is going to move through us.
Quotes:
The importance of who we are is the importance of who He is.
What we're doing at this Passover, is we're submitting ourselves to be drawn closer into the creation that He calls His sons.
God created so many different aspects for us to receive of His nature. He put within each one of us a unique part of His nature.
God has created His worshipers to be like Him. God created so many different aspects for us to receive of Himself. He put within each one of us, a unique part of His nature.
Take Away:
Christ was the first-born son of many brethren. Today the Father is raising up His sons and through their relationship with Him they are finding their expression in the Father. Are you aware of His calling and destiny in you?

It's losing the separation between you and Him. We're losing the separation. And you know, whether it's sin, whether it's conditioning's, whether it's whatever it is, we're losing that separation. It's being washed away from us the separation. The importance of who we are is the importance of who He is. I am in the Father, I am in the Trinity. There's a certain manifestation that He's moving through me that's unique and different than anywhere else. So yeah, I am. But it's all about Him.
Roger
We are in relation to who He is.

His Word declares that He says: the glory which You have given Me, this is Jesus speaking, I have given to them that they may be one just as We are one, I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that You did send Me and did love them, even as you did love Me. Father, I desire that they also whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, which Thou has given Me, and You did love Me before the foundation of the world. Oh, righteous Father, although the world has not known You yet, I have known You, and these have known that You did send Me and I have made Your name known to them. And we'll make it known that the love were with you did love Me may be in them, And I in them.
Ron
you know, interesting that you're reading that about Christ because He was our example. He was the firstborn of what, many brethren, many sons. It's really interesting because we're in this transition. But I think that, in a sense, it is important who we are in Him. Just like it was very important because we're sons just like Jesus Christ. And so, you know, our we are focused on ourselves? No, Christ wasn't; He was focused on the Father, So you can't make a theology about anything. Just like the Father said, I'll be who I'm going to be. In other words, don't try to put Me in a box, dude, because it ain't gonna happen.
Mike
And we can't do that with ourselves either. You can't put us in a box. Because the whole inference here is God's name is a verb, verbs demand Action. You don't sit there and do nothing. So we're becoming as He's becoming. And boy, we better be focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, because He's the one that we need to be focused on. Because that's who we are. We're, we're just like Him, we've got to be focused on Him.
Dale
When we say, I am becoming Christ in you is the hope of glory. What we're doing at this Passover, is we're submitting ourselves to be drawn closer into the creation that He calls his sons. Each day, we have got to trash preconceived ideas, and let God simply define by the day, today, I'm a worshiper. So if I'm busy worshiping God is busy imparting His own nature to me, and in worship, and creating me and worship. I do know what's happening to me, though, I'm not the same guy today that I was yesterday, or 10 years ago.
Roger
The more we move into the confidence of this relationship with the Father, we don't need to worry or bolster ourselves about who we are. Here is Philip. And here's this guy on the chariot - Ethiopian, Philip jumps up there, and says this and that and he says, How can I know? And he opens the scriptures to him. And when he's done, he baptizes him, and then he's gone. There was no emphasis upon who Philip was. The dude was the faceless guy. He got up there and he ministered to that Ethiopian, and God took him. He was gone. If there's a relationship in Him, where we know in our hearts, who we are in relation to our Father, the words that come out of our mouths, are glorifying Him. There wasn't any handing out any tracts to him afterwards; or here's my name and number, call me. You know my church is down here. I'm being facetious, but there was none of that stuff. But he delivered the word. He was an expression of Christ at that moment, and he was gone.
Ron
The reason that's important is because of, what has been in the past, and not just Christianity. Because if you get in the secular world, I'm a CEO. I'm the president, I'm a king. It's all these positions and all these titles. The whole point of it is, we know who we are in Him. I think the more we lose, even subconsciously, whatever the importance of who we are, the more He is going to move through us.
Roger
We're entering into His relationship with the Father, and His expression is coming forth in us and through us.
