Dear GTFI Family,
It seems preposterous that Father would teach us how HE gives (our inheritance) and how we receive it from Him. But He has already declared that after sin entered man, he did not learn HIS ways but determined in his own mind how God was and how he would respond to God. What high and lofty thinking developed as a result of sin!
By the love and mercy of God our Father, we have been forgiven and the "old" man with his vain thinking and darkened understanding has been put to death. New life through Lord Jesus Christ has made us "fit" to now "learn" HIM and HIS ways. For we were made ready with a new heart and a new spirit--HIS SPIRIT.
Now when we pray, "Our Father...hallowed is Thy Name...give us this day...", we will speak out from light which has shined into our darkness. Yes, we will know how HE gives and how we receive. Our Lord says knowing HIM is eternal life!
Hallelujah!
Your sister in Christ,
