Abba Father

Why did Jesus say to pray to "Our Father" and to call Almighty God, our Father?God chose this relationship with us, He wants us to completely rely upon Him and trust Him as a child trusts their loving earthly father. We are to become as children and rely upon Him completely to care for us and to provide for all of our needs. He does not ask us to call Him master, or Almighty One, or Your Majesty, but He asks us to call Him our Father which art in Heaven. This is the relationship He desires with all of us. He desires to be our loving and amazing Father in Heaven, the Father who loves His imperfect children, with His perfect love. Romans 8:15 (ESV)15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

A majority of the worlds problems can be traced to Absent Fathers. We can make our world a better place if we father our children.

In October of 2001 after taking an anti-depressant I flipped into a manic episode. I was hospitalized and diagnosed with bi-polar disorder 1 with psychotic features. Many years went by and I had taken pretty much all of the medications that were prescribed for my mental illness. I knew that I had to be on some kind of medication but I was frustrated with all of the combinations and side effects that caused havoc in my life. At times I found myself thinking about ending it all, but deep in my heart I knew that was not going to be the story of my life. Abba has much more in His plan for my life and you are involved in it. After much searching and praying I found my sense of spiritual awareness and my gifts of writing and artwork. I also found the child within me who was longing to come out and let me know that my life really mattered. With her I was taken to unforeseen places and mysterious happenings began to unfold. So, come with me for a little while and experience what happens to the mind when it leaves the world behind and takes you soaring into another time. On the front cover is my own artistic interpretation of bi-polar disorder. Magdalen Preast A portion of the proceeds will go to N.A.M.I.

Discover and Embrace the Extravagant, Unconditional Love of the Father How is it that so many believers get stuck when it comes to entering into a relationship with God the Father? Rather than basking in the Father's endless love, compassion, and delight, we seem to hesitate, like orphaned children unsure of a place to call home. Neal Lozano breaks through the obstacles that keep us from growing in this pivotal relationship. He shatters fear and estrangement in his joyful exploration of Jesus's promise to show us his Father--and ours. It is a heartwarming journey, starting with the universal experience of loss and ending in the Father's welcoming arms as dearly loved children.

With over 20 prose prayers applicable to the Christian's walk, this book, from the writings of William DeWitt Hyde, is a priceless meditational resource.

Your brokenness is the key to knowing God as Father. God has an identity. He does not want to be known as a higher power or confined to our limited understanding and judgment of Him. Those who want to know the name of God—and most importantly want to know God as He desires to be known—can discover him as Abba. Matthew L. Stevenson III captures all the teachings of Jesus that demonstrated the Father. This book also highlights how aggressively Satan distorts the father role to fracture people’s lives in the areas of: • Identity • Security • Failures • Confidence Abba addresses the key to a more fulfilling worship life as well as understanding God’s heart toward the fatherless. A revelation of the father heart of God is needed more now than ever.
