Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but My Father in Heaven …………………… Get behind Me, Satan, you are an obstacle to My path
because the way you think is not God's way but man's"
Matthew 16:17-23

Constantly the Father seeks to pour light and understanding into the hearts and minds of His beloved children. Every circumstance, each question regarding meaning and significance in the mind of His loved child is required to be an opportunity for growth and development. Challenge is vital both for individual, group, church, faith and nation if the Father's Kingdom is to be established and progressed and consolidated on earth. Every day, as each committed child of the Father offers himself and his activities into the hands of His Father, there should be an accompanying desire to know and understand the place of them all in the pattern of the whole. And it will be given as the Father wills, in His loving concern and care.

And as the faithful learns to dispose his heart and mind and will to the good purpose of his Heavenly Father so will his whole being be orientated for right action and - in the process of time - experienced in taking it. Mistakes there will still be, but these can and will be woven into the pattern of the perfect whole by Our loving ongoing purpose.

And so insight and understanding of the Father's will is translated into committed action in the light and power of Our perfect love.
