Clio Posted January 25, 2006 Group: Members Followers: 1 Topic Count: 3 Topics Per Day: 0.00 Content Count: 62 Content Per Day: 0.01 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 01/23/2006 Status: Offline Birthday: 12/08/1962 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Ok, clearly it's directed to me.... so I will share. Back in 2000, which for me was the watershed year in my relationship with Abba and Jesus, I was struggling to heal emotionally, mentally and spiritually that churchianity had done to my relationship with Them. I wanted to pray, I longed for the peace I should have gotten from prayer, but part of me resisted praying. One day, I was closeted in my office on our ranch praying and weeping because I was in a real fix, but like always it felt like all my ceilings were brass, and my prayers were bouncing back and hitting me in the face. I had quit praying and was just kneeling with my face in my chair, sobbing, and it hit me that I didn't want to pray to the God that was the entity I knew from church, one whose title had been made into a swear word, and in my desperation I gasped that out in prayer. It was all I could do. As I cried, I gradually became aware of the word "Abba" repeating over and over in my mind, almost in time to my sobs. When this realization finally hit my consciousness, I sat up and prayed and said, "Abba, if this be from You, give me a sign." Immediately I was filled with peace, and a comfort that dried my tears instantly. A vision of me on His lap sobbing my heart out was imprinted on my brain. Several months later, I found for the first time the texts where Jesus cried out to Abba, and Paul tells us that "we cry Abba, Father." Biblical basis with the requisite two witnesses that Jesus tells us in Matthew 18:16 are required to establish all things. Abba is the name He, Himself, gave me to call Him. He is my Abba, and I am His daughter. Clio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. These are the only places where I can find where the word is used. Maybe someone else knows of other places? Anyway, make sure you read several verses both before and after these that I have posted so that you get a good idea of the context of the name and of the verses. Hope this helps! t.
