FROM FATHER’S HEART: The Gift of Father-Spirit Wine
□ The Father-Spirit Wine redeems jealousy as a powerful force of fathering and reestablishes the gift of pity in you as a father. The combination of jealousy and pity increase your capacity for expressing passion.
□ Pity - Sympathetic or kindly sorrow evoked by the suffering, distress, or misfortune of another, often leading one to give relief, aid, or to show mercy.
Joel 2:18 “Then the Lord will pity his people and jealously guard the honor of his land. 19 The Lord will reply, “Look! I am sending you grain and new wine and olive oil, enough to satisfy your needs. You will no longer be an object of mockery among the surrounding nations.” NLT
□ Jealousy - Being vigilant in guarding something personally precious to you.
Deut. 6:15 “…For the Lord your God Who is among you is a jealous God.” TLB
□ Pity and jealousy will stir your passion as a father causing you to act with redemptive action to any situation which threatens the life, identity, or destiny of your child.
□ Your reaction will be motivated by the pity in your heart rather than judgment of the actions of your children.
□ As your children begin to value and seek your pity as their father:
□ They will be able to heal from grief in times of loss.
□ They will recover stronger when faced with moments of personal struggle.
□ They will experience hope when facing the consequences of their behavior.
□ When lacking maturity or facing uncertainty and are unable to take appropriate actions they will know that acceptance and affection await them.
□ When they are unable to stay within the established security zone, restoration and affirmation will await them.
□ Jealousy will empower you to act in the best interest of your children’s destiny.
□ As your children they will encounter renewed security as they rely on their father’s jealous love.
□ As your children they will experience jealously as a powerful motivator of love rather than a deadly reaction to hurt or rejection.
Both pity and jealously are central expressions of Father God. Experiencing the liberating action of the Father-Spirit Wine causes pity and jealously to reemerge as central expressions of the heart of a father.
In tomorrow’s post, I will continue to reveal Father’s redemptive process for family restoration resulting from the Father-Spirit Wine.
