There are many lenses one could look through when trying to define the word “son.” Our Father invites us to look at sonship through the eyes of His Son, who walked this earth with a knowing of why He came. He knew His “why,” so that we could know ours.

When one hears the phrase “heart of worship,” often the first thought that comes to mind is worship by way of song. However, when examining scripture, there are many instances where worship takes on a meaning outside of the accompaniment of music. Look at Abraham when he was asked to sacrifice Isaac. The posture of his heart was surrendered to the Word of the Lord…his obedience and surrender was actually worship. This lifestyle of worship is our call as sons and daughters.

The bread is fresh. The table is set. An empty seat is awaiting. The invitation to sit at the table and dine with Him has been given. Being seated with Him and setting the Lord before will usher in divine encounter. And divine encounter will produce a knowing of Him by way of experience.

Jesus’ resurrection is a fundamental part of our faith. It changed everything. It should absolutely be celebrated and talked about! But it should not stop there. It is not meant to just be talked about, it is meant to be experienced. This experience is not just for us, but it is evidence to the world.

Life is but a vapor. We only have so long on earth. When life’s to do lists try to distract, may the stirring within our hearts remind us of the point of it all. We have been identified by our Father as sons and daughters. We are called to serve. We are called to love one another as He has loved us.

What does servanthood look like? There are certain examples that come to mind, but one stands above the rest. Jesus modeled the attributes of servanthood like no one else. He lived His life in a way that demonstrated He knew exactly who He was and why He was here. He showed us what it means to serve by walking confidently in identity, being a giver, and choosing to love no matter what. This is the ultimate blueprint to follow.

From the Old Testament until now, our assignment has been the same. We are called to tend to the flame. In the days of old it was about gazing upon a sacrificial fire. Now, it is all about staring into eyes like fire. The invitation is to behold Jesus. For when we behold the eyes like fire, there is no other option than to come out with an authentic flame.

In the culture we live in today, the world will try to influence us into thinking we are called to this and that. As Believers, it is significantly important that we come into the authentic expression of who He designed us to be and operate from a place of knowing why He designed us that way. When we begin to express this, the parts of the body of Christ will come together in unity with the Father in order to reveal to the world Jesus, His Son.

You don’t just stumble upon the authentic you. You are your true authentic self when you have the full awareness that His Spirit abides within. He formed you for His purpose, glory, and will. You are not designed for the likely, you are designed for the impossible. You are called to walk this planet in authenticity, so heaven may be revealed to earth.

Our mindset is so important. If we expand our understanding and see “mindset” as having our mind set and singularly focused on the Lord, the significance becomes clearer. We’re not just natural beings, but spiritual beings, and our mind is the natural gateway for heaven to come to earth. The right mindset keeps us in position to catch the wind of Holy Spirit and live as the access point for heavenly realities to come into this earthly realm.
