Father Pleaser Defined:The term Father-Pleaser should be understood in a governmental context and, consequently, defined as:

To walk in His favor at all times and under all circumstances
Reward: In You, I am well-pleased!

These seven changes are precipitated by the Kingdom in three successive stages or spheres (see below).
Sphere One
Kingdom of Nature
Sphere Two
Kingdom of Grace
Sphere Three
Kingdom of Glory"
