A child does not automatically become a son Luk 2:52 NIV And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Gal 4:1 NIV What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
Adoption: Gal 4:4-7 NIV (4) But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, (5) to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. (6) Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." (7) So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.

Transformation Is what the Lord is seeking. “You forgot that I’m looking for the fruit of My life and nature through you.” Transformation- the need for the body of Christ to be moving in the fullness of his nature. If we will allow transformation, the establishing of the Lord as our life; if we will allow the inward reality to catch up to where we are in power, we will see something that we’ve not seen… authority.

This year, I believe the Lord is telling me that he is causing us to "cross over to take over." Is33:10-Isa 33:10 NIV "Now will I arise," says the LORD. "Now will I be exalted; now will I be lifted up.
God’s intention has always been to have a bride ie. a companion, with which He could have a relationship of love. “It is not good for man to be alone” nor is it good For God to be alone! “Let us make man in our image and likeness…” Bear the image / appearance - spirit, soul and body and Likeness – character and nature. This Son-ship He was seeking was never made complete in Adam. God was anticipating one who would be a mature son who walked in the divine nature willingly and with integrity as a new and improved creation over natural man. (The reason Adam not permitted to eat of the tree of Life.)
Jesus has become our “tree of life” 1Co 1:30 NIV It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. We are made New Creatures (creation) 2Co 5:17-18 NIV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (18) All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
In this New Testiment era, the Holy Spirit brings us into a relationship with God as sons. We have an heavenly Father. In the Old Testament, He is never revealed as a Father, and we as His children. When Jesus comes, He makes anew relationship with the Father, and now we are to be born of the Spirit into a new family relationship. Israel never was born of the Spirit. The new man is birthed on Calvary. The new birth is birthing us into a new conscious contact with divine reality. It releases us from that old Adamic setup.
