This is the tower series from Prov.18:10 "The name of the Lord is a strong tower...Isaiah says that He shall be called the Everlasting Father. Now I don't know about you but I cannot say that I have all the answers when it comes to the Godhead. Some Pentecostals believe in the oneness doctrine while most believe or accept the popular version....the trinity. I personally believe the Bible is to be taken at its face value and that it says that He is called The Eternal Father. I am not going to try to explain that but I just know that is what the Bible declares in Isaiah 9:6.
He is the Father of eternity; the Amplified Bible calls Him the Everlasting Father of Eternity.
What it does say is that of the increase of His government there shall be no end....even forevermore. What a wonderful promise we have here to look forward to. The Bible says that He shall reign forever and forever. Exodus 15:18. Then 2 Tim.2:12 tells us that "if we endure, we shall also reign with Him." That is the first part of the verse. The next part is sobering..."if we deny and disown and reject Him, He will deny and disown and reject us." You should read the whole context. The important thing to remember is that He is eternal and so are we going to live eternally if we hold fast to the truth and are faithful to Him.
What a tower of strength to know beyond a shadow of doubt that He is the Everlasting Father. Let us run to Him this day and be safe. You can expect Him to receive you with open arms.

As stated earlier to understand the Godhead may beyond most of our comprehension, we try to make our God fit our doctrines but all we really need to know is that Jesus came to show us who God is and what He is like. That's why Isaiah calls Him the Everlasting Father and justifiably so because Hebrews tells us that He is the exact representation of His being. Heb. 1:1 NIV. PAUL TELLS US IN COL. 1:15 THAT He IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD.
I'm glad that we have this eternal Father and that is going to last forever. I may not understand everything yet but I believe it with all of my being. He is truly our strong tower.

Hi Randall,I have decided that the blog is a great teaching tool,I say this,because,I read it then,I comment,on what I get out of it,well sometimes I don't seem to get anything out of it ,so I don't comment.[ WRONG!]We can't let this happen,start to read it again,only this time,leave the teaching tool,and go to the learning tool[BIBLE],and look up and read,and maybe more than once the verses written in the blog.After we do this,we will be able to comment
and we should,because if we don't,why would GOD continue to inspire [Randall] to even right it,we all love Randall and we know he is smart,but the blog is from GOD to all of us,so continue to read and comment.Know what I wrote three pages for my comment,when I started to type,what I wrote didn't come out,this did.

Thanks Randall,
If we keep it in our heart and mind that God is our eternal father, and HE is watching over us
we have nothing to fear but fear itself. thank God for the tower

When I think of a tower, I think of the World Trade Centers. I can picture them standing and picturing them as Jesus. That is just so huge!! We cant say that about any of us. I have felt so all alone lately, but when I think of those towers, I realize how BIG God is and there isnt any other person or thing in this world that we can compare to it. He is all we need. He will never leave us. Thank God that we can run to Him for anything!!
