The Promise of The FATHER!
Promise of a "FATHER" means a Father's (one who begets)promise to His own sons. The Promise, we know is the Holy Spirit. When would this promise be given? What includes in this promise? Who would be given it first? Our real father should be The Rock who begat us who gives the spiritual drink and meat, who is CHRIST THE LORD. 1 co 10:4. Deut 32:18. From Him, comes the Holy Spirit which are His words. Joh 6:63.He, Is the Spirit as proven below and His words also are Spirit. Then, we must have Him as well as His words as the promise! That is why He said to abide in Me and abide in My words. Then, we must be born of "The CREATOR", the ROCK who must beget us in order to receive this promise! (Deu 32: 18) If "The ROCK" begets us, HE SHOULD BE OUR FATHER WHO gives the SPIRITUAL drink, and we must go to Him to receive it. We become first fruits, by receiving the words. (jam 1: 18, 1 Pet 1:23). Only a FATHER gives food and drink to sons. Also we must understand that ; when Christ said "the Father in Heaven will give Holy Spirit to those who ask Him" in Luk 11:13, we must ask from The Rock, who is our Father for His spirit. Have you gone to "The CREATOR", "The ROCK" who is CHRIST THE LORD to drink from Him, or have you gone after GOD the FATHER who could never give such? All these years, no one went to "The ROCK", calling Him "FATHER". He Is also the Almighty, THE FATHER(2 Cor 6: 17-18), The MOST HIGH THE FATHER, (Psa 82:6), and THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE FATHER (Mal 1:6), and THE REDEEMER, an everlasting FATHER (Isa 63:16.) So who ever went to drink from "The ROCK", who begets us, are given the Promise of the FATHER, as HE IS THE FATHER and He Has promised to give the Holy SPIRIT to HIS OWN SONS who goes to Him! He brought sons of Israel out of Egypt to be His sons, but they never called Him the FATHER and made a god whom they have never heard or seen, their father, calling 'god the father' (JOH 8:54). So they failed to receive the promise. But gentiles, who are not HIS PEOPLE believed THE ROCK IS THE FATHER AND THE ROCK GIVES HOLY SPIRIT, SO THEY RECEIVED IT. !(Hos 2:23, Rom 9:25-26, 15:9-11) On The LASTDAY, He will ask all to come and drink the Holy Spirit. (Joh 7:36-39), as He said, "I will pour My Spirit in last days by Joel and Peter. But before the last day, the believers bellies are filled with HOLY SPIRIT. Others must come to their bellies to get it! No one honored The Creator as the Father and an EVERLASTING GOSPEL to fear and worship Him is preached in judgment, by those who already have their Father's NAME ON THEM. Rev 14:1-7. They are the children of THE ROCK who drank from their TRUE FATHER, the ROCK !
