thank you for listening to this message from damon thompson ministries all right good morning

everybody good kind of coming to a conclusion here. This is my last session with you. Maybe in this setting, but I know it's not our last session together. Sounds like a lot of you are sticking around, which is awesome. We love that. For those of you that aren't, I hope you'll be back and forth, and we get to see a lot of you in the days to come.

Whenever I begin to think in terms of the last session we would have together in the first year of establishing Union University,

my thought was, what would I want to leave you with that I think would be the most beneficial as you walk into

the next phase and season of your life.

And we had been down at the beach for just a couple of days hanging out with some friends

and ministering to them, loving on them, spending time with them.

And when we came home, realized a new calf had been born out here on the property. And what I recognized immediately about that

new calf, who had not been on the ground very long, still wobbling in its legs, bull calf,

by the way, which is money, we like those. And so, but the calf had already encoded within it genetically everything it

needed to know to survive nobody had to go out there and show the calf where the mother's udders

were nobody had to go out there and teach the calf had to how to nurse everything that the calf

needed to grow to full maturity and purpose was already coded within that bull calf and so i want to

say to you that you've already been given all things that pertain unto life and godliness you're

already partakers of the divine

nature all right you are already children of god having said that it is not yet revealed what we

will be but when he is made fully evident we will be like him so the issue then for us becomes i'm not

trying to turn you into a sheep but teach you how to be a fully mature son therefore although

everything is coated within you because what you are called to be is significantly more than what that creature out there is called to be, you're going to have to align yourself with people and with cultures that can cause something to come alive on the inside of you that will then give you access to the measure

of grace for you to become what you were predestined to become and you were predestined to be

conformed into the image of his son so union university is not about putting things in you that are

not already there union university is about cultivating that that is within you
