Most of us heard it said many times that we are children of God. Over the next few weeks, we want to look at some character trades of children and how they are important for us in living as a child of God. Be inspired and encouraged through this series!

Let God start speaking to you about you being His child.
We hope you had a wonderful week. Last week I (Markus) was teaching a finance class in our 360 Discipleship Program at the YWAM Base. Pray that God will help them to use all the tools I gave them to get back on their feet. We also had a dinner with the board of YWAM San Francisco and shared with them some updates on the ministry. It was a wonderful time.
This week we will be teaching the DTS. We will also meet with someone about the concept and how they can practically implement it in to their area. Please keep us in your Prayers since it will be a different week for us. Thank you so much.
This week I’m teaching all week in our Discipleship Training School on the Father Heart of God. It is one of those topics that is so essential to our relationship with God. When we look at many children and how they grow up without a father, an abusive father or a father who cares more about his own goals then about his child, we see more and more problems rising up in the lives of the children. But that is not the way God is. He is a loving father who has always time for his children. But many out there don’t know that. Here are some tips on how to show people more of the father’s heart.
Be a father to people:
Each of us presents God on this earth by the way we live. When we reach out to people in love it starts to transform them. It starts to soften their heart and enables them to receive from God. When you feel loved from someone you are more likely to share with them and be real with them, right? If that is true for you it’s true as well for others.
Share with them about God:
After they are more open you need to share with them who God really is by using the different examples that the bible gives us about the father heart of God. Best example is the story of the prodigal son. Show them how Father God is different than any earthly father. He cares about his son even after he messed up big time. Another great one to share is the fathers love letter. It shows in many ways the heart of God for us.
Pray for an Encounter with the Father:
Knowing the father heart of God cannot be achieved only by head knowledge. No that person needs to have a personal encounter with God. And that is the part where each of us can play a significant role. You need to start praying for a real encounter for that person with Father God. Also pray against walls that are build up in them against Him because of their earthly fathers. Its important that some of them are broken down for them to even be open to God.
Remember a real encounter with Father God brings transformation in a Person.
Start bringing Gods father heart to people around you.
