1 .) You will discover the source of true love, identity, strength, guidance and fulfillment in becoming who you were created to be. We will only be able to found out these things through intimacy with Him. The time we put aside for God is more valuable than what we put instead in that time slot. Only what we do for God will last.
2.) It is a good feeling to know we serve a God that gives us a choice and that the same time provides our needs (grace/mercy). We are given the privilege as a child of God to be invited in without focus but with love as the decision is given to us to accept or reject.
3.) He takes dominion over his kingdom/ his territory and move forward with an attack to deplete the oppose party/enemy.
4.) Although there are some things that I still face, I have surrendered it unto God. Fear as an example is one that I still fight up against and will conquer completely with God’s help.
5.) Christ who paid the ultimate sacrifice in order to redeem humanity. At the same time, his death on the cross has shown a more powerful affirmation of the love of God for humanity. This is the atonement of Christ as both the satisfaction of our sins and the demonstration of God’s love.

Why is it important to embrace God as your spiritual father, and Jesus Christ, the coming King, as spiritual bridegroom?
The only way we can receive our spiritual identity is by accepting God as our spiritual father and Jesus Christ as a spiritual bridegroom.
How does it feel to know that God’s character is that of a spiritual gentleman and not a rapist? For many years I have viewed God as a spiritual gentleman He doesn’t force himself on no one. Truth be told, sometimes in life, I wish he was not a gentleman because of the repercussion of life mistakes. It is frightened sometimes in life to know he loves me enough to allow me to choose self and hell over self-denial(modifying the deeds of my body/heaven/intimate relationship with him). Wow, how can I not serve a God who gave himself for me to live an eternal life? I am honored to be a woman who is valued and created for man Glory.
How does a King behave toward his enemies, those who attempt to hurt his people, or those who attempt to destroy his kingdom? A king kills his enemies to protect his own.
Her Majesty, the Queen is ruler over many territories. No area goes unclaimed because the kingdom has identity, purpose, and destiny. Write down any area or territory of your life that is yet unclaimed or not trusted to God.
Sometimes I do not trust God with my finance, children, and myself. I have to continue to fight to trust God in these areas of my life.
Who is the hero of creation and why? God is the hero of creation that created my in the likeness of his image and for his glory.

God for creating us In his image and likeness
Jesus, because he redeemed us back to right standing with God and
Holy Spirit for teaching us, guiding us and keeping us here in the earth, being our comforter and teacher.

4. My complete surrender needs to be entrusted to God, as I learn more about him, I learn more about myself and how much I really love and need to give everything to him to carry for me.

3. A King shows his strength by his power, his wealth, his treasures. He protects what is his and destroys those who try to harm or take away what is his. The king has everything covered just as our Heavenly Father has done for us.

2. 2. It makes me feel safe, truly loved and cared for. God doesn’t force himself on me, he is gentle, loving, caring, respectful and strong. He is my provider, my protector, my defender and my shield. He is everything I need.
Yolanda Perry On August 2, 2020 at 6:27 pm
I am grateful that God is God and there is no one who loves us a much as he does. He gave his only begotten son for us.

1. It’s important because Father God gives me my identity, purpose and destiny, and sets the stage for my life. As his daughter, by embracing this, I am accepting everything, saying yes to this incredible invitation He has provided for me to walk in. I receive all the training, preparation, power, honor and respect, as well as the responsibility of representing His kingdom well.
It is important to embrace Jesus as coming King, because he provides the opportunity to exchange my sin contaminated condition for glory now and for eternity. Because of his redemptive plan for my life, I am in right standing with my Father. I wear the garment of forgiveness, I’m clothed in his righteousness. I accept the amazing love shown to me by accepting him as my Savior, my King, my Lord! I accept my position as his Bride!
