Abba

There are moments in life when one particular song touches not only your heart but spirit as well. This just happened early this morning when I was in my prayer room. I was reading Mt. 6.1-18 the main focus was on prayer and fast. As I was pondering in these truths a song began to play and suddenly the presence of God filled my room.

I feel prompted to pay attention to the lyrics and just soak for a moment in the presence of God. At first the lyrics seemed quite simple, but as I was soaking, it became a Selah moment. The lyrics seemed simple at first but boy they are indeed profound.

For me the message of the song is profound. You see I was raised without a father. Maybe you don’t know that I am adopted. My mom used to be missionary, when she moved to the city to start planting churches I arrived to her life. So I grew up knowing God not only as “the Almighty” but as my Father, as the person to whom I can go to whenever I need encouragement, wise words, advise, whenever I’m down I know I can always go before Him confident that He will listen to me.

As I obeyed God and started pondering and soaking to the song the following lyrics stroke my heart, soul and spirit:

You’re thoughts define me, you’re inside me
You’re my reality 
Abba, I belong to you

The Holy Ghost clearly whisper this to me:

“Beloved, behold, I call you  son, you are mine and I am yours. Be not afraid of any circumstance nor  persons for I assure you I go before you. Listen beloved and be reassured on this: You belong to me, I hold you, I crafted you, I have a purpose for your life, I constantly drop grace upon you. Precious child I will always care about you. My beloved son allow my thoughts to define who you are, come before me, be still and know who I am. Simply come and rest in my presence.“

As God dropped this word in my spirit the Holy Ghost took me to this passage:

…you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! 
Rom. 8.15 AMP

I simply went speechless as I realized that indeed through Christ I received the Spirit of Adoption, I am no longer a stranger but now I am called son!!! What amazing is that!!! Here’s the music video of the song that God used early this morning to call my attention prompting me to soak in His presence:
