“Who’s Your Daddy?” (John 8:42-52)
Apostle Bernard Whaley | Faith in Action Kingdom Ministries
Today Apostle Bernard Whaley expounds on verses 42-52 of John 8 – a passage that informs much of the foundation of our faith. Apostle Whaley begins by retracing our adoption into the spiritual lineage of Christ to explain how, at the moment of our conversion, our identity shifts from man, bound to natural sin and desire, to a new creation, bound instead to God’s law. (“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new,” as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:17)
“If we’re going to be the ecclesia, the called out ones, the ones set apart…” Apostle Whaley says, “We need to come out of darkness ourselves… [We need to come] to a revelatory understanding of who we really are. The devil’s greatest weapon against us is our ignorance. The Word of God says that, ‘for my people suffer for a lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I have rejected you.'” Listen as Apostle Whaley lays out the hard truth about the reality of our choices: “When you come to the knowledge of the truth, you recognize that you are better than this and you can do better. But you have to want to do better. You have choose to do better. And the only way that can happen is you receive Truth in your heart.”
