Purpose of God
DivineFavor.org is a site that was created to bring honor to
our Heavenly Father by revealing to us by the Holy Spirit,
The Will of the Father,
The Word of the Father,
The Way of the Father, and
The Work of the Father.
The purpose is to reveal the Will of the Father which is Sonship.
Sonship means obedience to God’s Word or being an obedient Son and Daughter of God in representation of
God’s Will, Word, Way, Work.
In addition to the Will of God is the Word of God.
This Word of God is the Will of God.
The Word of God shows us our Father’s intent and purpose and this cannot be revealed without the Holy Spirit of God teaching us his Word.
Disciples have to be taught the Word of God and receive the Word of God as final Authority in their lives.
Receiving God’s Word is Receiving God’s Will.
When we receive and obey God’s Word we begin to understand the Way of God.
How our Father operates (Way) is so important in our development into mature Sons And Daughters of God.
This Way of God will bring us into the Work of God or our inheritance.
In John 14:8 Philip asked Jesus a question.
John 14:8-9
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
The Way of the Father is Sonship.
It should be said of us as his Sons and Daughters,
I see the Father in you.
Thomas in John 14:5 asked a question too,
John 14:5-6
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Again, we see Sonship as the Pattern of the Way of the Father.
Now in seeing and understanding the Way of the Father we begin to know the Work of the Father.
God’s Way is Sonship which brings us into the Work of the Father.
In other words,
now that maturity has come we begin to understand
our portion or inheritance in the Father’s Kingdom or House.
Jesus said the following,
John 14:2-3
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
This place that Jesus is at as a Son of God is a fully matured Son.
As a mature Son, he received his portion or inheritance from the Father.
Many have not received their inheritance from the Father and
have begun a Work of God without the
development of the Character of the Father being forged in them.
The express image of his person was Jesus Christ as a son,
Hebrews 1:3-4
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
The greek word for express image is charaktēr.
It means the figure stamped, which is an exact copy or [figuratively] representation.
If you are not expressing the Way of God as a Son or Daughter of God in character,
then you will not do the Work of God in proper representation.
Therefore you are going to hear the words that Jesus spoke,
Matthew 7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
The Purpose is Sonship.
Sonship brings you into:
The Will of Father,
The Word of Father,
The Way of the Father,
The Work of the Father.
Psalms 86:11
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:
unite my heart to fear thy name.
