“Cry … ‘Abba, Father'”

Learning to Live in the Spirit of Adoption
“For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.'”
Romans 8:15
This study of spiritual adoption will hold many surprises for us. Not only is God the Father treated slightly in most works on theology, but the concept of sonship by spiritual adoption is scarcely understood.
Because of the biblical meaning of the term “adoption,” our study is forced to take a practical approach to the relationship of the believer to the heavenly Father. This approach is demanded by each of the passages in which the phrase “Abba, Father” is found.

Am I under a generational curse?

Have you ever wondered, “Am I under a generational curse? Did my grandfather, great grandfather, some ancestor did something I don't even know about it? And I'm under the curse of it. What am I going to do”? Forget it. It's baloney. Say, how do you know? “Knowing you are not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers (1st Peter 3:18).” “Redeemed,” by the way, means, “to buy a slave out of the slave market of sin.” We were redeemed not with corruptible things ..." From what? “... the aimless conduct received by tradition from our fathers.” Did you know that you're a mirror image of some ancestor that may have lived a thousand years ago? You're the spitting image of somebody and maybe a composite of several somebodies. But you know what? All of that aimless conduct, all of that genetic makeup, all of that sin nature trends that have come down to you, the power of it's been broken! You've been redeemed from it -- set free!“You were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot (1st Peter 3:19)."
