How do you become a good father? You become a good son. Jesus served His Father's Vision by "only doing what He saw His Father doing. The kingdom is built on the structure of family. Family serves one another, giving themselves for the other.

Because we have been made in the image of a Triune God, we were created to mirror the relationship between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Since the fall of man, God has been maneuvering history to restore sonship and bring about a reunion between mankind and Father God. He desires to bring us into a simple trust in His goodness and love, which leads us into our true identity as sons and daughters.

God wants to reveal Himself to us as Daddy. He wants us to relate to Him as a son. The word father is used 613 times in the Old Testament and only 4 times in reference to God. The word father is used 311 times in the New Testament and 249 times it is in reference to God. Never once in the Old Testament to God as our father. Jesus gave us permission to become a son to the Father who is the creator.

The Lord has come to heal the broken parts of society that are orphaned. As people are introduced to a continuous source of supply and safety, they become aware of their identity. Each person has been given a name name from the one who is always perfect, named with destiny and purpose. Jesus's purpose in coming to the earth was for you to be restored to God as Father, to restore orphaned children to an inheritance and blessing.

2010 has been declared a year in which we will step into deeper levels of intimacy with the Lord. Danny provides practical tools to understand where you are in your relationship with God, tools to succeed at that stage and then move forward into the next level of intimacy.

1. Servant (Dependence)
- The needs of others are above your own
- If you don't succeed at this phase, you dont learn how to trust
- Builds in our character giving, helping and sacrifice (builds a container for generosity in me)
- We are vulnerable to authority
- We dont understand Why?

2 Sons (Independence)
- To be a son you have to have a choice
- Crucial to our health in receiving love. (learning how to choose to receive love)
Teaches us to expect help
- Opens our lives to learn of unconditional acceptance. Nothing you will ever do disqualifies my love for you, it is not performance based.
- We know why?

3. Lover (Interdependence)
- Move from trust, to choice, to a place of covenant
- Understand we have strength to serve without payment
- No matter what God does in a moment, you choose to love him.
- My motive is to add my strength and benefit to your life, not to consume yours
