God is a Father. However He's not a father who will leave us and fail us like our earthly fathers. No, He will never leave us or forsake us and everything He does toward us is only out of love. This is just a small bit of what the DTS learned about this week with Ricardo, the base director for the YWAM Pachuca base. He has a son and a daughter and really loves being a dad. He has such a father's heart and when he taught you could really feel it come through. He is such a loving man and really cared about each one of us. He was praying for us even before he came to the base and you could really tell in his compassion for us. The teaching was so good and Ricardo teaching it just made it better.
One of the main purposes for teaching on the Father Heart of God is that we as humans naturally seem to link God to our ideas of our earthly fathers, which leaves us believing false things about God. If our father was abusive we may believe that God is going to hurt us as well. If our fathers were hard on us and demanding we may have trouble believing in grace and that our salvation is not by works. During this week we went deep into these beliefs and pulled up our false ideas at the roots. Because of this I believe everyone received healing in one way or another during the teaching and ministry times. It was amazing to watch as God worked in all of our hearts! I can’t wait to see what He is going to do next!
