Fatherhood potential

Fathers Day June21,2009.

Ephesians 3:14-19
1John 3:1-3

The things that are impossible with man are possible with God. None of
us got to choose our names when we were born but God got 2 choose his
own name.

Ex parents giving kids names with silent constanents like Shella with
a silent J. Or spelling names any kind of way.

God gives names that mean something. Father is a title that God gives
himself. When we step into church we are given the opportunity to
step into a relationship with him as ur Father. "aba father" meaning
daddy. Jesus says when I pray say "our father"..more than just a God
but our Father. Ephesians 3:15. Recognize how important it is to God
bring a father to us. Ephesians 3:16-he provides strength in our inner
being. He can do more for us as our dad than a God. Ephesians 3:17-
enables salvation & roots us & establishes us in love. Ephesians 3:19-
so that we can reach our potential, less of u & more of God.

Being a father is awsome b/c fatherhood is something that Hod does!
God makes fatherhood popular. Everyday ppl do things or buy things to
be like someone else. Name brands, cars, ect so The Lord says ok I'm
not gonna put on nikes I'm gonna rock fatherhood in hopes that they
will follow me. Be like me & be a Father. Fall in love with the idea
of being like him & take fatherhood seriously.

"If ur a woman & ur single & happy & independent, u go girl! But if ur
a man & ur single..pastor andy is looking at the fatherhood patential
u have. Unless u have the gift of celebacy (which is not likely at
ALL) pastor andy wants u to allow ur lightning rod to have direction.
harness that thing and use it for what it was meant for."

"For a woman to produce a child is the most painful thing ever from
the moment of conception to birth & breast feeding. Yet & still they
wanna have a baby. With guys God has attached nthing but Joy to that
whole process b/c he is trying to get u to understand how vitAl it is
to be a father & point ur lightning rod in the right direction. Other
wise that thing can get u more trouble than blessings. The moment God
gave u that feeling of being turned on was the moment when God put a
clock on u to find a wife and point that thing in the right direction."

27% if white kids don't live with their fathers
35 %Hispanic kids don't live with fathers
66 %black kids don't live with their fathers
Over 80% of black kids spend their childhood without their father

85% of kids with mental behaviors come from fatherless homes.

85% of youth in prison grew up in a fatherless home.

This is why Pastor Andy is stressing that who ur life partner is the
most important thing u will ever do in your life! B/c it's the only
decision that u make that lasts forever. It should be taken serious at
a very young age. Realize God has invested dominion & stability in u
(men).

"Of course ur baby mom is mean,crazy, always starting drama, always
calling ur house because you weren't careful with ur seed planter & u
didn't think your decisions thru. Have to stop being so loose with out
sex, drinking, partying, & smoking because it's life i'd death."

"If u are un-happily married 80% of that is YOUR fault (guys) b/c u
picked her! The wrong head was making the decisions."

"The longer u wait to get married the more trouble u get into
to ..once u turn 21 u should be looking, praying, fasting for a good
wife. 26,27,28 years old ur an old maid (GUYS) u should be
married.Your pushing it, it's time to get serious. You have to look!
Stop blaming women cuz they are doin the best they can. It starts with
us (MEN). Pastor Andy understands that sex is a strong drive cuz he
LOVES 2 have sex with his wife. Question isn't why it's why not?"
