Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.

 Personal relationship with the Father:

 

            Father knows those who are His:

           

2 Timothy 2:19

19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”

 

            He knows we are His. We have been sealed in His Spirit and He knows we are His. He has many children, but He knows all of us intimately. He knows us and yet He still chose us. Since we are His, we should act like Him. If we name His name, we should abstain from wickedness.  It should come naturally “supernaturally”. We can’t do it own on our own, but through His Spirit who indwells us.

 

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You are Mine, little children. You know Me and I know you. You are not some number among many. You are My special one and I love you dearly. Do not despair or think that you are alone. You will never be by yourself as long as I am with you; and I am with you eternally. Do not despair of what may come upon you. I am aware of all that affects you and am concerned deeply that you have what is best. I will never forsake you nor leave you to fend for yourself. Trust Me to always be there for you and to provide the way of escape.”

 

            11. He knows I am His and because I am His, I will abstain from wickedness.
