Father’s Business

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

“The Father loves the Son and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing” (John 5:20, NASB).

My Father, Ed Weiss, loved me and showed me what he was doing. He envisioned the radio and TV repair/car sound system installation business he started to be family owned and operated, maybe named Ed and Son’s someday. He would bring my brother Bill and I to work with him on Saturday’s and during the summer when we were teenagers. He taught me everything he knew about installing sound system equipment in automobiles. It kind of stuck, before joining the Army at 19, I did work for two other companies installing stereos in cars. In fact, when the Army Recruiter asked me what kind of job I wanted the only skill I thought I had was electronics.

Because our Heavenly Father loves Jesus, he shows Jesus everything he is doing! Jesus said, “I only do the works that I see the Father doing, for the Son does the same works as his Father” (John 5:19, TPT). Jesus honors and emulates the Father in everything he does.

Because our Heavenly Father loves you, he wants to show you everything he is doing also. In fact, Jesus, who likewise loves you, wants to help you hear and say what the Father is saying and see and do what the Father is doing like he does. They both want you to know them deeply and personally (Jn 17:3). They want to be so close that they want their Spirit to live within you, to lead and guide you into the pure way of living with them.

A crowd of people asked Jesus, “What shall we do, so that we may do the works of God?” Jesus replied, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him [Jesus] whom He has sent” (John 6:28, 29, NASB).

Do you believe in and that God sent Jesus!

How can I help you know them now and better?

“Why would you strive for food that is perishable and not be passionate to seek the food of eternal life, which never spoils? I [Jesus], the Son of Man, am ready to give you what matters most, for God the Father has destined me for this purpose” (John 6:27, TPT).

How God’s Love Healed My Heart

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

I was in a season where everything in my life seemed to be going wrong. My marriage was falling apart, I was laid off from my job where I had worked for 18 years, and one of my closest friends abandoned our ten-year friendship. I felt hopeless and alone. I questioned everything about my life, and I felt like I did not even know who I was/supposed to be. Fear and overwhelming sadness made it difficult to do anything. I believe God gave me the strength to still care for my two young children. I knew I had to keep going for their sake. As I cried to God, I would hear a song on the radio, or read a verse that would give me some encouragement. I started to memorize bible verses and write/print them out and place them around the house where I would see them throughout the day. I remember one particular verse about forgiveness (Mark 11:25). I told God I did not know how to forgive but I would keep repeating the verse until He showed me how. I also stumbled into another verse (Isaiah 43:18, 19) about not focusing on the past and trusting that God was doing new things in and around me. I didn’t believe any of it at first, but I kept meditating on the verses and saying them out loud to God. Eventually, I started to feel different inside. I found more bible verses, songs, and sermons that focused on God’s love. His love became real and I remember feeling peaceful inside even though not much in my circumstances had changed. I continued to fall in love with God’s word and Jesus became so real to me. I “heard” Him speak through songs, people, nature, dreams, sermons, bible studies and eventually my circumstances began to change. I saw God do miracles in my marriage, my family, my job and most significantly in my own heart. His love transformed how I felt about myself and I felt loved, restored, and accepted by Jesus. This changed how I viewed others, my life and all situations. His love continues to change me daily and I am so grateful to have a Savior who loves me so much.

Who Is Your Advocate?

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world (1 John 1:1, 2 NASB).”

“You are my dear children, and I write these things to you so that you won’t sin. But if anyone does sin, we continually have a forgiving Redeemer who is face-to-face with the Father: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:1, 2, TPT).”

The prosecutor, the devil, is not wrong when he proclaims that you have broken God’s laws (Rom 3:23). The question is not “am I guilty,” it is “who is representing me in heavens court room?” Our Heavenly Father loves you and invites you to accept Jesus and Holy Spirit your Lawyer’s, your legal team. The other question is, “are you going to try to defend yourself or accept Father’s offer?”

The Advocates with the Father

“Christ engages in representative consultation on behalf of His people with a perfect understanding of the divine character and claims, and a full knowledge of existing needs. He is unlimited in His personal rights and resources and unhandicapped by incapacity or inability. In fulfilling this office of Advocate, Christ upholds the rights of the children of God, sustains the privileges of sonship and maintains the cause of every member of the household of faith. “Paraclete” or “Advocate” is made up of two parts, “para” meaning with, or alongside, and “klesis,” to call; that is, one called alongside. In the tabernacle of the Old Testament God spake from between the cherubim which were on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant. The two cherubim in their typical teaching express advocacy. In the New Testament the Spirit of God and the Son of God are both called advocates. The import is plain. God the Father has called to His side the Spirit and the Son to co-operate in the work of mediation and maintenance for the benefit of His redeemed people. These are tangible tokens of the lovingkindness of the Lord to reassure our hearts that the entire work of salvation will be completed (1).

“Father God in view of the gracious and generous provision you have made for my salvation, I gratefully accept Messiah Jesus and Holy Spirit as my Advocates and walk with you like they do. O precious Messiah and Holy Spirit, my Advocates, you abide in the beauty of holiness before Father God continually from generation to generation. You act in every righteous cause, graciously. Appeal for me when I seek spiritual strength and favor, generously. Assure the perfecting of my salvation, gratuitously. You answer for my defects and defaults, grandly. And you advocate my access to the throne of grace and acceptance with Father God on the ground of reconciliation, gloriously (2).”

He get’s It!

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

This is a letter I received from a mentor and friend.

“I was having lunch with a friend Wednesday and it was a rich time. As he was sharing about his experience with the Lord over the last several months, there was an incredible sense in me that he ‘got it’”.

The discipleship ministry I work with “typically talk about what they are doing to advance the kingdom (who their man is, who they are meeting with) and the academics of the study of the Bible and the disciplines of the Christian life (quiet time, prayer, scripture memory, fellowship, etc.).”

“My friend was talking about his relationship with Jesus. He was talking about hearing the voice of the Lord, growing in relationship, enjoying walking with the Lord in life. It was deeply encouraging.”

“I love the gospel of John. There are definitions in John that you don’t find elsewhere. Like what it means to be a disciple, how you do it. Jesus defines eternal life in John 17:3. ‘This is eternal life, that they might know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.’”

         “The Christian life is a relationship with God, with Jesus”

         “It is not knowledge about. It is not primarily academic.”

“Everyone involved in a relationship with a member of the opposite sex, hoping for marriage understands innately John 17:3. They want their lives to be intertwined. They want to share life together and walk together in relationship all of their days.”

“We lean towards the academic and we tend to think that the more bible knowledge you have, the more spiritual you are. We think, ‘If I just had my master’s degree or a doctorate or maybe two…then I would have arrived.’”

“By all means spend time in the Word. But do it to hear the voice of Jesus and walk with Him.”

King David’s One Thing

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

“King David Said it this way:

‘One thing have I desired of the LORD, that I will seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple. (Ps. 27.4)’

David’s desire was to look upon His Lord, to contemplate His beauty, to dwell in the house of the Lord. ‘As for me, I will behold they face. (Ps. 17:15; 2 Sam. 7:18; Ps. 65:4)’ To David the place of God’s manifest Presence was in the ‘perfection of beauty’, the ‘joy of the whole earth’. He delighted in His Lord. He took pleasure in His Lord. He adored the Pre-incarnate Son of God. He wanted simply to be with Him, to look upon Him, to know Him, to love Him, to worship Him, to enjoy Him. That was David’s end, the highest purpose of his life. This is the heart fully turned towards the Lord, of which God Himself testifies that it is ‘perfect’ before Him. (1 Kings 15:3; 1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22)” To Enjoy Him Forever by Malcolm Webber, pages 56, 57, Healthy Leaders, Leader Source
