Title: Leaving other ideas about God in favor of Jesus    
     
     
     
     
 
    
 
     
     
     
     
 

 

Many people turn to God.   
Who is this God
What is His nature?   
Is He happy or angry?   
Is He good or is He vindictive?   

Jesus is the Truth about our Creator.   Apart from Him there is nothing but confusion about Him.   Some have said that He is dead.   Some have said He is asleep.   Some assume that His lack of judging sin is a sign of condoning it.   

Is God one or three?   Is there a CEO in heaven who directs Jesus and the Holy Spirit?   If so, does that CEO have a different attitude and agenda than Jesus?   If so, can we really trust Jesus?   Do we need to try to talk directly to the 'big man'?   

Please understand that the different names of the Creator in the Old Testament served only to communicate aspects of our Creator's nature.   The name that the Jews assigned to the Creator is YHVH.   And then, because it was considered to be too holy to speak, they simply called Him Lord.   

Jesus Christ is Lord.   He is the express image of YHVH who is our Creator.   Jesus is One God and His Holy Spirit is eternal, omniscient and omnipresent.   

Stop believing in 'God' and start believing in Jesus.   Turn to Jesus with all that you are.   Worship Him in Spirit (His Holy Spirit) and Truth (His Word).   You will find the peace that passes understanding, the friend that sticks closer than a brother, a present help in time of need, a healer, a deliverer, the lover of your soul.   
Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. -
The Bible is inspired but not everything in it is the Word Of The Lord.     Many passages are accounts of what happened and how it was perceived by men.     

The spoken Word Of The Lord is contained in the Bible.     Jesus said you must search the scriptures for references to the Christ which testify of Jesus.     It is only in Christ Jesus that we find Eternal Life which the Holy Spirit.

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. -
To fellowship with the Lord, to be One with the Lord, requires us to be Spirit Filled and to be Word transformed .     

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of our Lord Jesus .     
The Word is the Lord ( Christ Jesus).     
So, for us to please the Lord in our worship of Him, we fellowship with Him in His Holy Spirit in meditation upon His Word.

the Lord is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. -
God is the Holy Spirit.     The Holy Spirit is God.     

Any Worship that does not acknowledge the Holy Spirit does not acknowledge God.     Such Worship is futile.     

God's Word is Truth.     

Any Worship that does not Honour the Truth does not acknowledge God.     Such Worship is futile.

And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. -
Jesus received power and authority over heaven and earth upon His resurrection.     
1) He reclaimed His seat with the Father from where He had come.     
2) He regained dominion over the earth for man, stripping it from Satan.

I charge you therefore before the Holy Spirit, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; -
Jesus is the righteous judge.     Believers will stand before Him in His Judgment Seat Of Christ to receive a reward.     Unbelievers will appear before Him in the White Throne Judgment.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty Father, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. -
This conflicting description of a single being could not have come from a rational mind.     It came from the Holy Spirit who would fulfil these words in Christ Jesus.     

Jesus was a child who was born of Woman and yet is the mighty God, the everlasting Father.     This means that the Father begat Himself!     

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus.     Jesus is the body of the Holy Spirit.
