Just browsing the Heart of the Father facebook page and this new vision banner caught my eye. How beautiful. And the very last phrase ‘in the Father’s love’ is touching. 

At the recent Hungary conference, Fr Roman from Warsaw gave the talk on the 5th Unbound Key - the Father’s Blessing, and he opened with, ‘This last key is the most important key’. It came to me as something of a surprise. This last key is not an afterthought, a simple blessing of what has gone before to seal what has happened. Now, do we realise that, or are we just wanting a ‘quick fix’ of ‘getting free’? A quick fix is falling short of the ‘one thing necessary’ Jesus spoke of to Martha when her sister Mary made the choice to sit at his feet - that is, become a student follower of Jesus.

There’s nothing, nothing, so transforming as experiencing the love of Father God. Since my trip to Poland  and experiencing personal Intercessory prayer in the Lodz House of Mercy I’m:

- more relaxed

- more peaceful

- trusting of God in all kinds of situations

 - wanting to give people (and God) my attention and presence rather than rush on to the next thing. 

And my secret delight is knowing more deeply than before that I’m loved. Spoken over me in prayer were the words, ‘You are beloved son of God, you were born in the heart of God.’

We notice when we pray with people that the Father’s Blessing can be the most moving and healing, freeing, experience of the entire prayer session. Fr Roman did not let this go unnoticed. This is Belonging, going beyond just relief from the things that hold us back, to the real freedom of knowing the security of having a heavenly Dad. The witness who wrote the gospel of John wrote of Jesus: ‘But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.’ John 1:12  Andrew
