How important is the maturing of a son?
There is a transformation that must occur
in the maturing of every son. It is vital to
the fulfilling of the destiny God planned
for every son of God on the earth .
Without this transformation, you can not
completely fulfil your destiny . You will
not have the maturity needed to fulfil
your destiny .
God gives us the natural to understand
the spiritual. In the natural , we start out
as a child and go through a maturing
process to become mature adults. The
same is true for sons of God. We start
out as a Nepios son, very young , lacking
wisdom , understanding of Godly
principals and very self centered . We
have often been hurt and are not able to
hear God for ourselves. If you will not
allow God to mature you , you will not be
able to walk into your destiny , the
purpose the Lord has called you to do
and be on this earth .
In the natural the Lord gives us in the
natural a father. The responsibility is
given to the father to “ raise up the child
in the way he should go and when he is
old he will not depart from it ” (Proverbs
22 :6 ) . God’ s design for us is that our
natural fathers mature us in the natural
and in the spiritual. This writing is
designed to give clear understanding
about the spiritual maturing process as it
relates to a father. God is restoring in
this time the understanding of how a
father needs to mature his sons ( male
and female) spiritually . We now live in a
time where if you did not have a natural
father bring you to a place of spiritual
maturity , then you are an orphan and
need a father to raise you up spiritually .
This is where we get the term spiritual
father . He is nothing more than a man
on this earth that will come along side
you and help you walk into spiritual
maturity .
We now live in a time when the spirit of
Elijah has come to restore the
relationship between fathers and sons
( Malachi 4 :6 ) . He planned for every son
to have a spiritual father on the earth ,
who has been given the heart of our
Father in heaven , to help each son to
grow into maturity and complete their
destiny . If your natural father is not able
to help you with this process , then you
would need to consider asking God for a
father to help you mature spiritually , a
spiritual father.
It is time for fathers to begin to rule
righteously for the benefit of their sons
both natural and spiritual so that they
might have the opportunity to receive
their spiritual inheritance . It is time for
their households to come into order. This
is the first building block of the Holy
Nation .
This spiritual father is given the
understanding necessary to take a son
from being a baby ,(Nepios) crying out
ABBA Father, to being the mature son,
Huios , where a son walks by the Spirit
and is able to carry out their destiny in
God , while at the same time putting on
display their Heavenly Father. Just like
Jesus who only did what His Father
did .. . only spoke what His Father spoke
( John 14, John 17: 8 , John 10: 30) .
This process includes the earthly spiritual
father 's vision for each son he is given by
God . The spiritual father looks at a son in
their current level of maturity , at the
same time, he is given the vision and
insight to see who his son will be and will
focus and direct his son to our Heavenly
Father for all that the son needs to
mature into the Huios stage of sonship.
In Paul 's letters to the ecclesia ( called
out ones ) he did this very thing. He
spoke to them where they were and
directed their steps when necessary, as
well as seeing who they will be in Christ.
He had to comfort them , discipline
them , teach them , encourage them , and
love them (1 Corinthians 13: 7, 8) . This is
the role of the spiritual father in regards
to their God given sons on the earth .
A spiritual father also continues learning
throughout his time on earth from his
Father in heaven , his own spiritual father ,
and his sons . The goal for all of us is to
ultimately be the radiance, the reflection
of God's glory. The son is a reflection of
the father. Sons reveal the spiritual
fathers ’ character in Christ ( 1 Corinthians
11 :1 ) as well , so this process of having a
spiritual father, chosen by God is a
spiritual thing designed by God to be the
springboard for every sons maturity . The
spiritual fathers’ heart is to see the sons
grow beyond them as a son's floor begins
at the spiritual father's ceiling . This just
means that a spiritual father can show
you how the next generation can learn
from the mistakes and wisdom of the
previous generation.
Ultimately , God is preparing a people to
become His Holy Nation , Zion , a city on a
hill, the corporate body of Christ. One
with Him and one with each other in the
Spirit . It starts with the basic building
block of households ( families ) coming into
order .
So how do we mature to enter into each
of our destinies?
What are the stages of the maturing
process ?
Below are the stages of spiritual sonship
with a short description :
- Nepios - Infant, baby not old
enough to speak or function
- Paidion – Little child able to
understand some Godly principles
- Teknon – Teenager beginning to
want to understand his / her destiny
- Neaniskos – Young Adult beginning
to rule his / her own life well
- Huios – Fully matured son who
represents his father well
If you desire to walk into your destiny ,
begin with the first stage of sonship ,
Nepios. Even if you have been a believer
for many years , it is highly recommended
that you review even the beginning
stages of sonship . For example, you will
need to fully understand the Elementary
Doctrines including the Baptism by the
Spirit and of the Spirit . These are
essential to having the requisite
understanding and power to enter into
your destiny .
It is really important to walk through
these steps of sonship with a spiritual
father . You will have many questions
that will require a father with the
wisdom to answer them . If you do not
have a spiritual father and you would like
one , please use the Contact menu to
start the process; which includes prayer,
God 's timing , and then actually receiving
a spiritual father.
Congratulations! You are embarking on
the very first stone of your journey to
Sonship and your destiny which begins
with the foundational series of studies .
Continue on to the first stage (Nepios) to
begin your journey into a maturing son of
God !
