"A spiritual father that does not expresses the original plan and purposes of God will lack God's power, and manipulation and control becomes inevitable. Spiritual fathers then begin to control, dominate and manipulate their sons to achieve their selfish agenda, and as a result many are wounded and abused in such relationships, and the family in ruined." With these words Apostle Israel steps right into the midst of troubled waters in this present season of God. The subject of "Spiritual Fathering" has become popular and many are making declarations concerning this subject without a clear revelation of the heart of the Lord. Here an excellent presentation delineating the process of God in restoring one of the most fundamental principles in this season of God. The choices are between the restoration of fathers and sons, and a curse resting upon the geography (Malachi 4:5-6). The fact that some take upon themselves the title of 'father' does not make it so, because only God calls or names fathers. Earth is not authorized to do this (Ephesians 3:14-15). There are things that the Lord reserves for Himself and not for another. Though it is acceptable to recognize and call someone in the natural your father, yet the same does not apply in the spiritual. Only God bring someone into that relationship and completes the processing necessary to allow someone to be declared by Heaven as a father in the earth realm.The heart of this book is that it is now the season of God to transition from the well-established things of Passover and Pentecost. One season of God has ended and we have already entered into another season, the Cloud has moved from where it was to a new location that is beyond our past knowledge and experience. It is new territory that the majority of the people of God have neither experienced nor known of before. We like Joshua have not walked this road before. But beyond a mere revelation of the fact that there is something new that God is speaking, we need to know how to appropriate it in our lives. Many people still think that knowledge equals possession. Being able to speak of a thing is no indicator that we are walking in it or that we know how to appropriate it. The way to access this new dimension in God which is referred to as "THE LORD", is through Fathering. Something is transmitted in the fathering relationship that is not imparted by any other means. There is an impartation of a seed, a sperma that is incorruptible and eternal (1 Peter 1:23). It is for this reason that this is the message of the prophet at the close of the prophetic season and the initiation of the kingdom season (Malachi 4:5-6; Luke 16:16). This is the word for transition from the charismatic season of the CHRIST to the kingdom season of THE LORD.
