Daughter or Slave?

I was having my devotions last September 22 when the Father spoke to me of my identity in Him. He brought me to several verses that ministered to me, and He changed the way I look at myself and my disciples.

Romans 8:15 For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.
He has given us the privilege of calling Him anytime, and we should not be afraid of anything.

1Co 2:12 But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.
His Spirit helps us know everything that He freely gives to us. We need to know what is ours!

2Ti 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.
We should not be afraid of anything and anyone...

1Jo 4:18 There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.
For as long as we keep walking in that love-relationship with our Father, there will be no room for fear. Our love for Him and His love for us removes every shadow of fear.

My Father spoke to me that I am not a stranger to Him, neither am I a slave, but I am His daughter. He chose to give me all the rights of a legitimate child of God. Then, He showed me what a slave is and what a daughter is... When
I was writing these in my journal, I was crying as the love of the Father floods upon me like never before... Read on and let Daddy talk to you too...

A slave does not recognize the privilege of being placed in the ministry...WHILE...A daughter is always thankful and overwhelmingly broken to realize how privileged she is to be placed in her Father's ministry.
A slave feels that she works to increase the material goods of others and that she does not belong at the place where she works...WHILE...A daughter feels that she is at the same level as her Father and is able to grow in that freedom to enlarge the area of her conquest.
A slave does not feel complete freedom...WHILE... A daughter works and walks in complete freedom.
A slave's heart is vulnerable and may change any time...WHILE... A daughter is in covenant, and she is decided that nothing can change that.
A daughter works with JOY...WHILE... A slave does not because she feels that what she does is not for her own benefit but for others.
A slave always has this option of leaving ("i'm out of here attitude")...WHILE... A daughter is settled at where she is. And she will never change places. She will never trade her place for anything. John 8:35
A daughter accepts responsibility in the ministry...WHILE... A slave would always wish that she would be the last choice for ministry.
A slave is always fearful and insecure (afraid of losing her position)...WHILE... A daughter will always behave confidently. Daughters are confident and secure in who they are in the Lord.
A slave has no legal right for the inheritance...WHILE... A daughter has the legal right to the inheritance.
A daughter is confident in asking for inheritance...WHILE... A slave is doubtful about her inheritance and asks, "Will I get it? Am I fit for it?"

Romans 8:17And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.
Psalm 2:8 "Ask of Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession."
Romans 8:32 He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?"

The Father spoke to me... "My daughter, I have given you My ultimate [My only Son Jesus], will there still be anything that I cannot give you?"

Stop doubting yourself... Stop doubting our God.

Let our Father remove the guilt and shame of your past, so you can walk in the freeedom, confidence and intimacy of being a child of God (Isaiah 54:4). Let our Father bring you into His loving arms...

Now, I am not afraid... I am not ashamed...

I am confident, not because I can... bu
t because I am...

His daughter.
