"Salute to the Father"

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and

the government shall be upon his shoulder: and

his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller,

The mighty God, The everlasting Father,

The Prince of Peace."

(Isaiah 9:6)

We salute the Father of all creation, the Holy One of Israel, the One in whom all fullness of the godhead dwells bodily, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ!  You say, "Who is the Father; isn't Jesus the Son?"  It is the question of the hour, and we will bring a "Salute to the Father." 

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifest in the flesh,  justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,

preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

(I Timothy 3:16)

"For in him (Christ) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

(Colossians 2:9)

"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and

from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."

(John 14:7)

The eternal Father is a Spirit, and one cannot crucify a spirit.  So, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ is called a Son, because he was born of a woman, but He never once called Mary "mother," because He was to be her Savior, as well.  Are the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost three persons?  A person is a "bodily being" according to the dictionary.  "Father" is a Spirit, and the Holy Ghost is a Spirit of a departed one, namely Jesus Christ, so the only "body" of the three is the Son, Jesus Christ; this is why the scripture says, "the fullness of the Godhead dwells in him bodily." 

John, on the Isle of Patmos in the Spirit on the Lord's day, said he saw "One" sitting on the throne.  Father, Son and Holy Ghost are three manifestations of One person, or one body.  In other words, You can be a mother, a daughter and a sister, but you are only one person, one body, but you are manifested in three different ways.  Do we believe in the "three" of the Godhead?  Absolutely.  Jesus Christ was Father in Creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Ghost in regeneration.  When you say Jesus Christ; you've said it all!  

"I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is

from the beginning.  I write to you, young men, because

you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children,

because you have known the Father."

(I John 2:13)

No one "loves" like the Father of us all.  He will never leave us nor forsake us; He forgives and forgets; He loves even when He is not loved in return; He died a brutal death on the cross, because of His love for creation; His love is from everlasting to everlasting.  The fathers in earth would do well to pattern themselves after Him.  There's nothing more beautiful in earth than to see a Godly father, a father who leads his family with love, strength, honor, and spirit from his heavenly Father.  A Godly man cries; a Godly man bows; a Godly man falls on his face in the altar; a Godly man protects; a Godly man humbles himself but stands tall in power in the Holy Ghost; a Godly man prays  ... 

We salute you, earthly fathers, who stand for the Truth, who march with faith, lead with love, walk in victory, climb for vision, bow for answers, weep for the world, speak with authority in the Lord, work to provide, give unsparingly, war in the spirit continually, and present yourselves as an example like unto the Father of creation.  You must never forget that there are many following you  ... your children, wives, families, and those looking for the strength and courage of a hero in the faith.  You are mighty, appointed as leaders, and we honor you.

Father of the Nations

God has established authority all the way down the line; He appoints the father as the head of the family; He appoints deacons and elders in the Church; He assigns Pastors, teachers, prophets, evangelists, and He has raised up women in times past and even today, to carry on His work in many areas.  He calls and chooses whom He will.  He has chosen Pastor Kenneth Phillips as the "Father of the Nations."  The love of this man reaches from Sea to shining Sea, from continent to continent, from Nation to Nation, and the Shepherd in him moves his hands to cover the world.  He's an exemplary father to his family, to his Church, and now to the Nations.  We salute you, Pastor Kenneth Phillips, as a father closest to our heavenly father that we know of, in earth!

We present a "Salute to the Father" of all creation.

The Lord Jesus Christ
