SPIRIT OF YOUR FATHER

All these words can only be understood if we look at the thought of a FATHER'S SON having His Father's characteristics.

This is speaking about the SEED of the FATHER that is in the SON. Satan had Eve eat the fruit of the tree of death instead of the tree of life.

Adam and eve ate the forbidden fruit.

Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

1 John 4:4-6 Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.�They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Spirits - natures

We are containers. It is not good enough to simply die. You need to be able to say "Our Father who art in Heaven." From the heart of Adam and Eve did these two SPEAK FORTH.
The seed will grow and more and more of Jesus likeness will come out.

JESUS:

STEPHEN:

The seed was growing well in Stephen, so they chose him to help in ministry
Like JESUS.
Aut of His mouth came a seed.

When God's word goes forth it is a seed.

Paul was standing there that day.

Paul never forgot that scene.

NOTICE THAT AFTER HE HEARD STEPHEN SPEAK WORDS LIKE JESUS, DID SAUL MEET JESUS

On the road to Damascus in Acts 9, God's Spirit, JESUS, called him.

In Genesis, God's Spirit hovered over the world and God spoke. 1Tim 1:12-13 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
