River

Righteousness, which can be described as right relationship between God and man, begins with seeing Yahweh rightly. Our happy Father who loves us, the beautiful Son, Yeshua, who chooses and marries us, and the wonderful Spirit who helps us and gives us grace-gifts.

Psalm 45
Song of Songs 4
Ephesians 5:25-33
Hebrews 1
Hebrews 12:1-2
Revelation 19:6-16
Revelation 21:9-13; 22-27

The revelation of righteousness that we are receiving is giving birth to two gifts for us to inherit. If the revelation of righteousness is a river, these two gifts are like tributaries. A tributary is a smaller stream or river that flows into and joins a larger river, contributing water, nutrients, and sediments. In the same way, if righteousness is the river, devotion to His Presence and a shining royal priesthood are two of its main tributaries.

2 Timothy 1:7

El Shaddai was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. He desires to be together. He died to be together! What is Primary to Him is becoming primary to us — being together. Religion and it's influence to make the secondary things primary has lost its power.

John 7:37

Romans 9:30-10:13

Yeshua did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking on the form of a servant. For the joy set before Him, He endured the Cross. This is the love that Abba has for us - we are His treasure, and He is completely obsessed with us!

Let the love of Yeshua change everything about the way you think and live. He is inviting us to surrender to His affection and repent from the idol of control. Allow His kindness to lead you to repentance!

1 John 4:17-19

The marks of a right relationship with the Father are seen in Yeshua's example: relying, experiencing, and imitating Abba. These are not standards to measure up to, but are signs of the new nature we’ve been given freely by Abba in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Our new nature reflects the presence and light of the Father, which is our new point of origin. Abba doesn’t use guilt to drive our relationship; instead, His kindness washes away guilt and transforms our thinking.

This new perspective of who He is stirs in us a desire to trust, be known by, and obey Him—ultimately, a desire to be loved by Him. The gospel is about believing, not doing. Through belief, His life flows through us!

Jesus did not change the Father’s mind about us, He revealed the Father’s heart towards us. A heart that would pay the highest price to get us back, hold no record of wrongs, remove our sins as far as east is from the west, and preserve our inheritance for us.
