Spirit of Adoption VS The Orphan Spirit


““Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.”
John 14:1-3, 16-18 NLT

Spirit of Adoption

  • Brings rest (instead of striving)

  • Brings courage and peace (instead of fear and anxiety)

  • Brings family (instead of lack of belonging)

  • Brings love and appreciation (instead of jealousy and comparison)
