This idea or thought has been on my mind\u00a0for\u00a0a long time\u00a0and\u00a0even\u00a0many other children of God too.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we get so involved with the deeper side of the Word and the Spirit of God, that we tend to forget about the basic stuff. And when I speak about the \u201cbasic stuff\u201d it does not mean it is of lessor value, meaning or power. \u00a0For me, I think it is exactly the opposite because when we go back to basics \u2013 right to the \u201cstarting level\u201d \u00a0– then we tend to find even more deeper meaning and value in our faith in God.\u00a0 It is like going back to your \u201croots of faith\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b> and to find an even broader scope of the awesome and miraculous God we serve and love.<\/p>\n

In the secular world, people often go back to find their \u201croots\u201d, by \u00a0digging up and searching through the old family histories in order to trace their lineage as far back as possible.\u00a0 Sometimes they find information about their ancestors that they rather would not have known, or to be known by anybody else.\u00a0 On the other hand it could also be liberating and quite interesting to search and find the background of your ancestors. \u00a0Who they were and what contribution they have made to society of their times, etc.<\/p>\n

Going back to basics in the spiritual sense, is also just as liberating and interesting to see and hear with new eyes and ears about the Creator of all. \u00a0Utimately He is also part of my lineage, and I am part of His, \u00a0as He is my Father<\/span><\/b>!\u00a0 Trying to search even further back than that, is futile because He is the Creator of all and the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end!\u00a0\u00a0 The Good News is, He can also become your Father <\/span><\/b>when you accept Jesus Christ as Savior. This promise in scripture is also for you if you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ in your life:<\/p>\n

\u201cBut as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God<\/span>, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ( Joh 1:12 \u2013 13 \u2013 KJV).\u00a0 <\/i><\/b>He gives you the power to become a son \/daughter \u00a0\u2013 to be part of His royal lineage! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

And I want to tell you, that my Father has done some great and awesome stuff back in history! He created this world and the whole universe\u00a0 – just by speaking the word<\/strong><\/em>!\u00a0 It happend as He spoke it into existence.\u00a0 “Let there be light and there was light”, the Bible confirms.\u00a0 Our small minds cannot grasp the awesome and almighty power of God!\u00a0 In every part of creation, we see the hand and wisdom of God.\u00a0 Even in the intricate design of a snow flake.\u00a0 Each one is different than the other in the same sense as our fingerprints.\u00a0 And man cannot clone or copy even the simplest of things such as a snowflake, because when examined under a microscope, the man-made snowflake has no structure or design at all.<\/p>\n

And He is not done yet! There is more to come when He finally returns to this earth to fetch His children.<\/p>\n
