The Birthing of Zion’s Sons
received the Spirit of adoption (Sonship) by whom we cry out, “Abba
Father.” (Romans 8:14,15)
The apostle Paul uses this term “adoption” five different times in his
writings (Romans 8:15, 23; 9:4; Gal. 4:5 and Eph 1:5). The word
“adoption” here is translated from the two Greek words: “huios”
(mature sons) and “thesis” (placing). So this could be translated
“placing mature sons” or even better “Sonship.” Some translations will
use the term “children of God” or “adopted children of God,” but the
term huios means a mature son and one who is a legitimate heir of the
father, not a child.
Sonship is about covenant and inheritance; and it is not based on being
male or female. “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ
Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized in Christ have put on
Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free,
there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs
according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:26-29) But babes and children
do not get an inheritance until they are grown up. This maturing
process is where the greater spiritual warfare is taking place today!
Satan knows that these mature sons will finish the ministry of Christ in
destroying the works of darkness that Jesus triumphed over at the cross.
Children are not going to displace the powers of darkness. Only full
grown mature believers who have learned to take up their Cross and
follow the Lamb wherever He may lead them will rise to the task of
defeating Satan’s kingdom.
The main spiritual conflict today concerns God’s people advancing
unto full growth, but be of good cheer because maturity WILL happen!
In 1943, T.A. Sparks wrote:
“God will reach His end; He will come in, in His Son in terms of
sonship, to take up residence within those begotten of Him, and will
grow in them, increase His measure in them, until at last, brought to
the unity of the faith, they become a mighty embodiment and
revelation of God Himself. Not in Deity, but in what He is
spiritually and morally in this universe - conformed to the image of
His Son, a living expression of God’s own thoughts.” 23
