Why Go to the Council of Heaven?

What Sons Know That Servants Don’t

(Intro Video and Sharable PDF) I got excited about Sonship, Ascension, and Reformation because it’s working in business. So I made a list of all the reasons to go to the Courts and Council of Heaven. It’s really good, and I’ve appended all that stuff. It just seemed a bit analytical and missed what was really exciting about the fruit that remains. So I’m going to tell you a few stories of what happened in hearts and businesses using weapons not of this world (2Cor 10:3-5). I’ll also allude to some of the steps in our coaching process explained in the Lead Your Tribe Playbook… without explaining them here.

Justin is starting a crypto bank that requires about $20M after $5M and 5+ years of sunk costs. Over the last 10 months, Justin worked through his purpose profile and aspirations and developed his offer to include his origin story (why he’s personally excited about his Kingdom vision). Those three ingredients are combined in a Business Brochure to communicate the prophetic juice behind his business vision. He has had resumes, a business plan, and detailed cash flow (for years). But just in the last few months, he has been sharing his Business Brochure, and  investors could see the vision. Now there are 3-4 serious investors waiting in the wings to participate, and another business has an attractive collaboration offer, all because Justin shared the Kingdom purpose he got from the Council about His business. Now he goes to the Council several times a week and before every meeting to have those 9 conversations!

What caught me by surprise was how businesspeople who aren’t necessarily very public about their faith caught the prophetic content in Justin’s Business Brochure. It’s much more powerful than just a business plan and cash flow. Even businesspeople are nonplussed about a money-only investment. For them to see Kingdom purpose in a business opportunity was a breath of fresh air.

Tonya is one of 13 phone salespeople in a charter flight business. The commission and salary are lucrative, but the driven atmosphere and mandatory overtime sucked. Tonya got clarity on her purpose and aspirations (See her Culture Brochure). She’s the only woman on the sales staff, yet she’s a Deborah sent by God to this business. Tonya started sharing 7 ways to improve sales with 3 layers of management – ideas she got from the Council. There was a ton of resistance/warfare in the beginning, and she nearly quit. She was also taking those managers to the Courts of Heaven to set them free. She made one last phone call and (to my amazement) the CEO accepted all 7 of her business ideas and, since then, the sales and the atmosphere have turned around in tangible ways all the staff can see. The financial increase is hundreds of thousands a week and millions a month. One of the managers is in the process of getting saved, and Tonya is coaching him toward his Kingdom purpose as well. It’s a huge victory for the company – everyone there knows it came from Tonya, and she got it from God’s Council.

I had to repent for having such low expectations for the Courts of Heaven. The manager who was receptive is getting saved, and he added an 8th idea from Heaven himself. The CEO, who was neutral/negative, said yes to every idea, and the manager who was antagonistic and working against Tonya is silent… all because of Father’s grace on His Deborah to win battles in the Courts of Heaven.

Hearts are the bottom line in business – When we touch God’s heart in the Courts and Council, the stuff we can bring back is Reformational; it touches people, creativity, opportunities, and finances. It’s fun to see Father’s impact on the people I help, and more fun to see it multiply via the impact they have on their friends and in their business.

There are great stories mirrored in everyone who ascends to Father’s Courts and Council. Everyone that ascends experiences Living Words they can put to use on earth. Our response isn’t a cost/benefit decision on our part. Many are invited to Sonship, Ascension, and Reformation, but not all are chosen for lack of a response. God is knocking, but we don’t always open the door to our heart and ascend. God made the decision to invite you; we have to respond, RSVP. The incentive for sonship is the sense of being chosen by God; everything else flows from that election (Identity, Redemption of our story, Purpose, Strategy, Tactics, Heritage, Courage, Clarity, and Culture)

Mt 24:14 – For many are called, but few are chosen.

Now back to the question for you. Every morning we each get up and we ascend (or not)!
What is holding you back from ascension? And what is inviting you to go forward? Your Choice. Sonship isn’t compulsory obedience; it’s an all-volunteer army of people who heard the invitation and said, “Yes, Lord!” We’re not servants making bricks, we’re God’s sons and daughters sent from heaven with the power and anointing to bless nations.

Isa 6:8 – Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
“Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!

10 Ways to Move From Pretense to Purpose

Prior Blog – https://releasingkings.com/2025-05-29-10-substitutes-for-conversations/

There is a hunger growing in Kingdom business—not just for success and money, but for fruit that remains and work that makes a difference in the world. God is inviting sons and daughters into Sonship, Ascension, and Reformation that starts in the Courts & Council of Heaven. The shift is to relational conversations in the Council, not just principle-based formulas.

Too often, we have settled for substitutes. These “stand-ins” for God’s voice may feel spiritual, even successful at times, but they can never replace the living words that come with live conversations.

Here are 10 things we often substitute for Council Conversations—and why each one, though often well-intentioned, misses the mark and eventually goes down in flames like wood, hay, and stubble.

 


Why Servants Don’t Go to the Council (And Why Sons Do)

Summary: More in the Cutting Room floor below.

Why People DON’T Go to the Council:

    1. Fear – It’s scary, mystical, fearful (Ex 20:18-19, Heb 12:19)
    2. Dependence – Trust “ministry” to hear God for them (tickle ears)
    3. Busyness – “I’m too busy doing MY business, not Father’s”
    4. Afraid – Of mistakes, deception, that I will get the “dial tone”
    5. Ignorance – Don’t know it’s possible (taught Logos = Bible lie)
    6. Unworthiness – Don’t believe I’m qualified (servant mindset)
    7. Satisfied – Settle for breadcrumbs / secondhand revelation
    8. Control – Religious structures discourage direct access to God
    9. Unbelief – Cessationism: “God doesn’t speak like that anymore”
    10. Pride – Self-sufficiency: “I can figure it out / I know enough”
      (Religious Pride – I’m Spirit-filled, hear breadcrumbs, know the Bible)

Why Sons and Daughters DO Go to the Council:

    1. Hunger – Only You have words of perpetual Life (Jn 6:68)
    2. Purpose – Want to co-labor (hear His voice, do Greater Works, chosen for this)
    3. Love – Love IS conversation, shared hearts, co-laboring for fruit that remains
    4. Identity – I’m a SON with access, not a servant hoping for breadcrumbs
    5. Dissatisfaction – Tired of powerless Christianity, hungry for the real thing
    6. Testimonies – Seeing fruit in others who access the Council
    7. Mandate – Greater Works require Council access (Jn 14:12)
    8. Calling – World is waiting for awakened sons (Rom 8:19)
    9. Experience – Once you taste and see, you can’t go back (Ps 34:8)
    10. Invitation – Father drew me, called me, positioned me for this (Jn 6:44)

The Result: Sons hear Living Words and do them—they love Conversations and Co-laboring with Father. They pass through the Valley of Baca (weeping) and make it a spring, going from strength to strength until they appear before God in Zion (Ps 84:6-7).

 

The Sonship Culture is known by its Living Words / Life

Ps 84:6 – Passing through the Valley of Baca (weeping)
they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.
7)       They go from strength to strength,
(Chayil – virtue, valor, value)
Every one of them appears before God in Zion. (The Council)

Sons hear the Living Words and do them.

They Love Conversations and Co-laboring with Father. They Love fruit that remains and the increase when father adds all these things.

WHY PEOPLE DON’T GO TO THE COUNCIL

1) It’s Scary, Mystical, Fearful

The Obstacle:

  • Ex 20:18-19 – “When the people saw thunder and lightning… they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance and said to Moses, ‘Speak to us yourself… but do not have God speak to us or we will die.'”
  • Heb 12:19 – “They begged that no further word be spoken to them, because they could not bear what was commanded”
  • The lie: “Direct encounter with God is dangerous, terrifying, only for special people”
  • The result: People stay at the base of the mountain, send Moses up instead

The Truth:

  • Heb 4:16 – “Let us approach the throne of grace with CONFIDENCE”
  • Heb 12:22-24 – “You have NOT come to a mountain of fire and darkness… but to Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem… to Jesus the mediator”
  • Old Covenant = fear and distance
  • New Covenant = confidence and access

0

2) Trust “Ministry” to Hear God for Them

The Obstacle:

  • Hire hirelings to hear from God for you
  • Tickle ears – Want preachers who make you feel good without challenging you to grow
  • Clergy-laity divide – “Pastor hears from God, I obey”
  • Comfortable dependence – No responsibility if someone else hears for you

The Truth:

  • Jer 31:34 – “No longer will they teach… ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will ALL know me”
  • 1 John 2:27 – “The anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do NOT NEED anyone to teach you”
  • Ex 19:6 – “Kingdom of PRIESTS” (not one priest-class mediating)
  • Sons hear for themselves – Others can confirm, but not replace

0

3) Time – “I’m Too Busy Doing My Business, Not Father’s”

The Obstacle:

  • “It takes an hour each time” – Council access feels like too big a time investment
  • Too busy doing MY business, not Father’s business
  • Immediate demands feel more urgent than putting Kingdom first
  • Martha syndrome – “Worried and upset about many things” (Luke 10:41)

The Truth:

  • Luke 10:42 – “Only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better”
  • Matt 6:33 – “Seek FIRST the kingdom… all these things will be added”
  • Without Council access, you’re busy but NOT fruitful – activity without direction
  • One hour in Council saves 10 hours of wasted effort – clarity produces efficiency

9

4) Afraid of Responsibility, Mistakes, Deception

The Obstacle:

  • “What if I get it wrong?”
  • “What if I’m deceived?”
  • “What if I hear my own voice instead of God’s?” or get the “dial tone?”
  • Fear of responsibility – If God speaks, I have to obey and can’t blame others

The Truth:

  • 1 John 4:1 – “Test the spirits” (you CAN discern)
  • Spirit AND Truth – Scripture confirms what you hear
  • John 10:4-5 – “His sheep know his voice… they will never follow a stranger”
  • Community – Other sons help you discern
  • Experience develops discernment – You get better with practice
  • Fear of mistakes keeps you from obedience – Better to try and adjust than never step out

0

5) Don’t Know It’s Possible (Taught the Lie)

The Obstacle:

  • Never been taught – Most Christians have NEVER heard Council access is their inheritance
  • Taught wrong – “Logos = Bible, Rhema = verse speaks to you” keeps them studying instead of conversing
  • 1 Cor 13:12 misunderstood – “Face to face” treated as FUTURE (heaven) not NOW (Council)
  • “That was for Bible times” – Don’t realize Eph 2:6 is present tense: “seated us”

The Truth:

  • Heb 10:19-22 – “We have CONFIDENCE to enter the Most Holy Place… let us draw near”
  • Eph 2:6 – “Seated us with Him in heavenly places” (NOW, not someday)
  • Heb 12:22 – “You HAVE COME to Mount Zion” (already arrived)
  • This is your inheritance – Not for super-saints, for ALL sons

6) Don’t Believe They’re Qualified (Servant Mindset)

The Obstacle:

  • “I’m not spiritual enough”
  • “That’s for pastors/prophets, not regular people like me”
  • Condemnation/unworthiness – “God wouldn’t speak to someone like me”
  • Still operating as SERVANT – Servants wait for instructions from master, don’t have direct access

The Truth:

  • Rom 8:15 – “You did NOT receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but… Spirit of adoption as sons”
  • Gal 4:7 – “So you are NO LONGER a slave, but a son”
  • Heb 4:16 – “Approach the throne of grace with CONFIDENCE”
  • Sons have access – Not because you’re qualified, but because you’re FAMILY

 

7) Satisfied with Breadcrumbs / Secondhand Revelation

The Obstacle:

  • Getting by on prophetic words from others
  • Dependent on pastor’s sermons to “hear from God”
  • Collecting random promptings from Holy Spirit
  • Don’t know what they’re missing – Never tasted the banquet, so breadcrumbs seem sufficient
  • “Knowing in part” (1 Cor 13:9) becomes comfortable

The Truth:

  • 1 Cor 13:10 – “When completeness comes, what is in part disappears”
  • 1 Cor 13:12 – “Then we shall see FACE TO FACE… know fully, even as I am fully known”
  • God wants MORE for you – Not breadcrumbs, but banquets
  • Sons outgrow dependence – Peter couldn’t stay on Mount of Transfiguration (Matt 17:4)

 

8) Religious Control / Church Structure

The Obstacle:

  • Clergy-laity divide protects power – “I hear from God, you obey me”
  • Fear of losing control – If everyone can hear from God, church hierarchy loses authority
  • “Covering” doctrine – Need someone “over” you to validate/control revelation
  • Institutional investment – Entire structure built on keeping people dependent
  • “Don’t go beyond what’s written” used to shut down current revelation

The Truth:

  • Matt 23:8-10 – “You are all BROTHERS… one Teacher, the Christ”
  • Rev 1:6 – “Made us kings and PRIESTS” (not one priest class)
  • 1 Pet 2:9 – “You are a chosen people, a royal PRIESTHOOD”
  • Jesus removed the veil – Direct access for ALL

 

9) Unbelief / Cessationism

The Obstacle:

  • “God doesn’t speak like that anymore”
  • “Revelation ceased after the apostles died”
  • “That’s too subjective/dangerous”
  • Intellectual Christianity – Prefer studying ABOUT God to encountering Him
  • Theological systems replace living relationship

The Truth:

  • Heb 1:1-2 – “Long ago God spoke… in these last days He has spoken by His Son” (present perfect – ongoing)
  • John 10:27 – “My sheep HEAR my voice” (present tense, not past)
  • Heb 13:8 – “Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, today, and forever”
  • If He spoke then, He speaks now – Same God, same access

 

10) Pride / Self-Sufficiency

The Obstacle:

  • “I can figure it out myself” (intellectual pride)
  • “I’ve read enough theology” (knowledge pride)
  • “I know the Bible well” (spiritual pride – Pharisee syndrome)
  • Don’t want to admit neediness – Asking for direction feels weak
  • Prefer being expert to being dependent – Knowledge over relationship

The Truth:

  • Prov 3:5-6 – “Lean NOT on your own understanding… He will direct your paths”
  • 1 Cor 8:1 – “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up”
  • John 5:39-40 – “You study Scriptures… but refuse to COME TO ME”
  • Dependence IS sonship – Sons depend on Father daily

 

 

WHY SONS AND DAUGHTERS DO GO TO THE COUNCIL

1) Only You Have Words of Perpetual Life

The Motivation:

  • John 6:68 – “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words (rhema) of eternal (perpetual) life”
  • No other source satisfies – Not philosophy, not religion, not self-help, not new thought
  • Living Words = perpetual life – Not just existence, but abundant, overflowing, resurrection life and life more abundantly
  • Every other voice eventually disappoints – Only Father’s words produce life that remains

The Reality:

  • Sons have tried everything else and found it empty
  • Sons know the difference between bread and stones (Matt 7:9)
  • Sons refuse to settle for anything less than Living Words
  • This isn’t optional – It’s survival: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word proceeding from Father’s mouth” (Matt 4:4)

2) I Want to Co-Labor with Father (Have Purpose)

The Motivation:

a) Hear His Voice, Share His Heart

  • John 5:19-20 – “The Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing”
  • Jn 15:5 – “Apart from Me, you can do nothing.”
  • Amos 3:7 – “The LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets”
  • Ps 25:14 – “The LORD confides in those who fear him”
  • Sons want intimacy – Not just information, but shared heart, and anointing

b) Do His Greater Works

  • John 14:12 – “Greater works than these he will do, because I am going to the Father”
  • Can’t do Greater Works without hearing what to do – Council access is prerequisite
  • Matt 16:19 – “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven” (bringing Heaven to Earth requires seeing what’s in Heaven)

c) He Chose Me for This

  • John 15:16 – “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last”
  • This is your ASSIGNMENT – Not optional, not “for others,” for YOU
  • Chosen before foundation (Eph 1:4) – Father prepared this work in advance (Eph 2:10)

The Reality:

  • Sons go to Council because they know they’re POSITIONED for purpose
  • Co-laboring isn’t burden—it’s JOY
  • Purpose isn’t found in introspection—it’s found in conversations with Father

 

3) Love IS Conversation, Shared Hearts, Co-Laboring

The Motivation:

  • John 14:15 – “If you love me, keep my commands”
  • How do you know His commands without hearing His voice?
  • Love isn’t duty—it’s DELIGHT in conversation
  • 1 John 4:19 – “We love because He first loved us”

The Flow:

  • Father speaks → You hear (Council)
  • You respond → Obedience flows from love, not fear
  • Fruit remains → Co-laboring produces lasting impact
  • Courage flows from Conversations and Clarity – You’re confident because you KNOW what Father said

The Reality:

  • Love = conversation – Not one-way communication, but dialogue
  • Shared hearts – You carry what Father carries
  • Co-laboring – Partnership, not slavery
  • Sons go to Council because they LOVE Father and can’t imagine not talking with Him

4) Identity as Sons (Inheritance, Not Achievement)

The Motivation:

  • I’m CHOSEN, not just saved (Eph 1:4)
  • I’m SEATED in heavenly places (Eph 2:6) – Present tense, NOW
  • I have ACCESS by one Spirit to the Father (Eph 2:18)
  • This is my INHERITANCE (Col 1:12, Eph 1:18)

The Truth:

  • Rom 8:14 – “Those who are LED by the Spirit of God are sons of God”
  • Gal 4:6-7 – “Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts… you are no longer a slave, but a son”
  • Sons don’t ASK for access—they TAKE their place at the table

The Reality:

  • Identity determines behavior – Sons act like sons
  • Council access isn’t something you EARN – It’s who you ARE
  • Servants wait for commands; sons have conversations

 

5) Hunger / Dissatisfaction with Status Quo

The Motivation:

  • Tired of breadcrumbs, hungry for banquet
  • Tired of secondhand revelation, want direct encounter
  • Tired of “knowing about” God, want to KNOW Him
  • Tired of powerless Christianity, want Greater Works (John 14:12)

The Cry:

  • Ps 42:1-2 – “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God”
  • Matt 5:6 – “Blessed are those who HUNGER and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled”
  • Ps 63:1 – “You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you”

The Reality:

  • Dissatisfaction is a GIFT – It drives you to the real thing
  • Sons who taste religion can’t settle for it – They want reality
  • The hunger itself is Father drawing you – He planted the dissatisfaction

6) Seeing Fruit in Others Who Access Council

The Motivation:

  • Watching awakened sons operate in power and clarity
  • Seeing Reformation happen through co-laborers
  • Witnessing Living Words produce fruit that remains
  • “I want what they have” – The fruit is undeniable

The Evidence:

  • Acts 4:13 – “When they saw the courage of Peter and John… they took note that these men had been with Jesus”
  • John 13:35 – “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another”
  • Matt 7:16 – “By their fruit you will recognize them”

The Reality:

  • Sons going to Council produces visible fruit – Not hype, actual transformation
  • Others are drawn to the FRUIT, not the teaching – They see the reality
  • Testimony awakens hunger – “If they can access Council, so can I”

 

7) Greater Works Mandate (Can’t Do It Without Council)

The Motivation:

  • John 14:12 – “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even GREATER THINGS than these”
  • This isn’t optional – It’s the assignment
  • Impossible without Council access – Can’t do greater works without hearing what Father is doing

The Reality:

  • Jesus only did what He SAW Father doing (John 5:19)
  • If Jesus needed to SEE and HEAR, we do too
  • Greater Works = Council-directed works – Not random activity, but strategic co-laboring
  • Matt 10:8 – “Freely you have received; freely give”

The Assignment:

  • Sons go to Council because the world NEEDS what only Council-directed sons can deliver
  • Greater Works aren’t about your greatness—they’re about Father’s strategy released through sons

8) Reformation Calling (World Waiting for Awakened Sons)

The Motivation:

  • Rom 8:19 – “For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed”
  • The world is WAITING for you to show up as who you really are
  • Your mountain needs what only you can bring from Council
  • Ps 2:8 – “Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance”

The Vision:

  • Isa 61:4 – “They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated”
  • Rev 11:15 – “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah”
  • Matt 6:10 – “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”

The Reality:

  • Sons go to Council because they see the BIG PICTURE – Reformation, not just personal blessing
  • Nations as inheritance – Council reveals strategy for marketplace transformation
  • Creation groaning – Waiting for sons to ACCESS Council and release Heaven on Earth

 

9) Taste and See (Once You’ve Tasted, You Can’t Go Back)

The Motivation:

  • Ps 34:8 – “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him”
  • Once you’ve HEARD Father’s voice, breadcrumbs aren’t enough
  • Once you’ve CO-LABORED, servanthood feels like slavery
  • Once you’ve SEEN face to face, reflections feel empty

The Experience:

  • Heb 6:4-5 – “It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift… who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age”
  • Song of Songs 5:1 – “Eat, friends, and drink; drink your fill of love”
  • The difference between TRYING once and ACCESSING consistently – Many try, few persist to breakthrough

The Reality:

  • Council access is ADDICTIVE (in the best sense) – Once you taste, you NEED more
  • Sons keep going because they CAN’T NOT go – It’s like breathing now
  • The first taste creates insatiable hunger – You’ll never be satisfied with less

10) Father’s Invitation (He Drew You, Called You, Positioned You)

The Motivation:

  • This isn’t about YOUR determination – It’s about HIS INVITATION
  • John 6:44 – “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them”
  • John 6:37 – “All those the Father gives me will come to me”
  • Rev 3:20 – “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock… I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me”

The Truth:

  • You didn’t FIND the Council – Father POSITIONED you for it
  • The hunger you feel is Father drawing you – He planted the dissatisfaction
  • The invitation came FIRST – You’re responding, not initiating
  • Eph 2:10 – “We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do”

The Reality:

  • Council access isn’t achievement—it’s ACCEPTANCE of Father’s invitation
  • Sons go because Father CALLED them – It’s His initiative, your response
  • You’re not intruding—you’re INVITED – This is your birthright as a son

 

THE SONSHIP CULTURE: Known by Living Words and Life

Psalm 84:6-7 – The Journey of Sons

Ps 84:6 – “Passing through the Valley of Baca (weeping), they make it a spring; the early rain also covers it with blessings.”

Ps 84:7 – “They go from strength to strength (Chayil – virtue, valor, value), every one of them appears before God in Zion.” (The Council)

The Pattern:

Valley of Baca (Weeping):

  • The struggle of leaving servant/breadcrumb mentality
  • The death of self-reliance, religious pride
  • The weeping over wasted years in Dead Letter Society
  • This is the TRANSITION– painful but necessary

They Make It a Spring:

  • Sons don’t just PASS THROUGH trials—they TRANSFORM them
  • Baca (weeping) becomes a SPRING (life-giving source)
  • This is Reformation: turning deserts into fountains
  • Sons convert pain into provision for others

Early Rain Covers With Blessings:

  • Father’s immediate response to those seeking Him
  • The “early rain” = first fruits of Council access
  • Blessings COVER you as you go
  • You’re not alone in the Valley—Father blesses the journey

Strength to Strength (Chayil):

  • Not “struggle to struggle” but STRENGTH to STRENGTH
  • Chayil= virtue, valor, value, wealth, army, force
  • Growing in capacity, authority, fruitfulness
  • Progressive glory– Each Council encounter increases capacity

Every One Appears Before God in Zion:

  • NOT “someday in heaven”– NOW, in the Council
  • Zion= dwelling place of God, heavenly Jerusalem (Heb 12:22)
  • EVERY ONE– Not just elite, not just pastors, EVERY SON
  • APPEARS– Face to face, personal encounter
  • This is the GOAL– Council access, appearing before God

The Result:

Sons Hear the Living Words and Do Them

  • Matt 7:24 – “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock”
  • James 1:22 – “Do not merely listen to the word (Living Words)… Do what Father is saying”
  • John 14:21, 15:14 – “Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me”

They Love Conversations and Co-laboring with Father

  • Love = conversation – Not duty, but delight
  • Shared hearts – Carrying what Father carries
  • Co-laboring – Partnership producing fruit that remains
  • John 15:15 – “I no longer call you servants… Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you”

 

CONCLUSION: The Invitation Stands

The question isn’t WHETHER you can access the Council.
The question is: WILL you accept Father’s invitation?

Obstacles are real – Fear, dependence, busyness, pride, unbelief, control
But the call is STRONGER – Hunger, love, identity, mandate, invitation

The Council is waiting.
Father is speaking.
Sons are awakening.
