Are You Depressed?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article by Mary Bjohns.

"Have you ever felt like your life is formless, dark, and chaotic, just like the Earth was  in the beginning? Remember, in the midst of all that mess, God spoke and created something amazing. 

In Genesis 1:3, it says, 'And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.' God didn't dwell on the chaos; He focused on what He wanted to see. He used the power of His words to shape His desired reality.

Beloved, in the midst of your storms, darkness, and chaos, what do you want to see in your life? Just as God created order out of chaos, we too have that creative ability within us.

Instead of dwelling on what's not working in your life, speak life into those situations. Use your words to command a shift.  Declare blessings, healing, success, and peace over your life in the mighty Name of Jesus!

Remember, in 1 John 4:17, it says, 'As He is, so are we in this world.' We are heirs of God and co-creators with Him. Tap into that power today. Speak life, speak positivity, speak blessings. Watch as your words shape your reality and align it with God's divine plan for you.

Don't underestimate the power of your words. Speak with faith, knowing that God is working alongside you to bring forth His will in your life. You have the authority to command your circumstances to change.

 Believe it, declare it, and watch miracles unfold.

In The Beginning, The Son?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article by an unknown author I would like to share.

In the beginning what form was the Son in? There was no heaven. He wasn’t sitting next to the Father. There wasn’t a place to sit. Nothing visible or invisible had been created. There were no angels. What form was God manifested in? None. There were no manifestations. There was nothing except the Word. And that Word was in the form of an invisible Spirit- and still is. Logos is the mind and thoughts of God. 

People have for centuries conjured up images of things that are not accurate or true. Please understand heaven was “created.” It has not always been there. The one throne in heaven wasn’t always there. 

All things that were created? They were created by Jesus Christ. Who is Jesus Christ? God manifest in the flesh. 

The Bible doesn’t teach the Trinity in any measure, -the Bible teaches about one God. Some say these three are one. That’s not true. Three are not one, but one God is manifested in three.

In the beginning then, what form or essence was the Father? The Son? The Holy Ghost. Three Spirit forms? The Son was an invisible Spirit? Three minds? You can’t say three minds are one mind.

God is a singular Spirit. Just one. John 4:24. The Holy one of Israel. The Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is simply the name of God’s Spirit in us. It is a designation. 

The Holy Spirit doesn’t think anything God doesn’t think. Two minds would be two Gods. Three minds would be three Gods. It’s unlearned to believe the Holy Ghost is a separate Spirit. 

We are made in God’s image and likeness. Body, Soul, Spirit. We are for sure one being. 

Jesus is the image of the invisible God. God was in Christ. There are not three persons in the Godhead. 

It’s against what the Bible teaches.

The Father and the Holy Spirit are one and the same. 

The Father is a Holy Spirit. There is only one Spirit. That Spirit is God. That Spirit took on the form of man. 

Heaven was created. In the beginning was the Word. 

Nothing else. 

That Word was God. The Word was the only thing. The mind of God, the thoughts of God. What form? The same as today. 

God is an invisible Spirit. He has always been an invisible Spirit, and always will be. You cannot see God and you never will see God.

The imaginations of the Father sitting on the throne are just that- imagined. God is an invisible Spirit who no man has ever seen nor can see. He is light that cannot be seen.

“which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords; who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” 1 Tim ‬ ‭6:15-16‬ ‭

“Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Tim‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:” Colossians‬ ‭1:15‬ ‭

Stephen did not see God when he looked into heaven. The Bible says he saw the glory “of” God. Hebrews 1:3 says that Jesus is the brightness of His Glory. It all points to Jesus Christ. In Him - not them - dwells all the fulness of the Godhead Bodily. 

That invisible singular Spirit overshadowed Mary and was born of woman. 

He was then in the world and the world was made by Him. That’s simple. It says it was made by Jesus Christ in more than one place. 

Some Christian leaders get angry when someone gets baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. They will cast you out because you baptize in the only name that can cast out devils. They choose to be baptized - I can’t say in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, because they don’t. They get baptized by simply repeating the command of Jesus Christ instead of obeying it. 

They say, “I now baptize you in the name of the Father, and the name of the Son, and the Name of the Holy Ghost.” Only they don’t - they don’t say one name. They don’t say the only name. Jesus Christ. Seven days after Jesus ascended Peter said to be baptized in that NAME.

Without The Logos There Is No God.

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is something that I found on the internet that I wanted to share with you.

Without the Logos (the Word), there is no God.

Psalms 138:2 ....For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy NAME. Why does God magnify his word above all his NAME?

I could rescue you from a burning house and never give you my NAME. I could give you a large sum of money (not) and never give you my NAME. Our NAME is secondary to who we are. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.  Before you ever knew who Jesus was or ever heard his NAME He died for you. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. He was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word (logos) and the Word was with God and God was the Word. (Logos) In the original translation it ends by saying God was the Word. What does this mean?

The Logos is literally:

the act of speaking, speech, reason, the mental faculty of thinking, meditating, reasoning, calculating the faculty of speech, skill and practice in speaking

what is declared, a thought, declaration, aphorism, a weighty saying, a dictum, a maxim

Our body is Flesh. We are filled with Blood which gives us life. God’s body is Spirit. He is filled with the Word. His Word is His essence. His words are life. The Spirit of God moved and God said... Without Jesus was not anything made that was made.....

All things were made by Him by the Word of His mouth. Light was the first manifestation of God. In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth. Genesis 1:1

John 1:1 predates that verse as it tells us In the beginning was the Word (logos) and the Logos was God. Then the Word, the very mind and thought of God spoke and created by the breath of His mouth Psalms 33:6

You CANNOT separate the Word of God from God. That would be akin to trying to separate our thoughts and words from ourselves. They are more than inextricably linked to us, rather they ARE us.

The Word, which is the very mind, thoughts, voice, and mediation of God was innate in the very God of Heaven who is Spirit. God purchased the Church with his own blood Acts 20:28.  That Word and Spirit was tabernacled among us. the Ark of the covenant being a picture of God himself. The Gold representing Deity and the wood representing humanity.

Jesus is the ONLY begotten of the Father. He came forth from or emanated from Him. To wit that God was in Christ (Christ being the manifestation of God) Christ made God visible. Christ aside from God does not exist. The God of Heaven is who made Christ Christ.

Isaiah 43:11,  I even I am The Lord and beside me there is no savior.  Luke 2:11, For unto you is born this Day a Savior which is Christ The Lord.  Lastly but not finally. Without God there is no Christ. God is who makes Christ, Christ.  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36 

Jesus is the Mighty God.  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but NOW is made manifest to his saints: Colossians 1:26.  God made man a little lower than the Angels. Christ was made lower also.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 2:9.  God made man, God came as man. That man, our intercessor was given all power in heaven and earth. He was filled with ALL the Spirit of God.

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. John 3:34.  Without measure Jesus Christ was filled. God, all of God, not the second person in the trinity, was in Christ.

Strongholds vs Demons

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is something that I found on the Net, blessings.

STRONGHOLDS VS DEMONS:

1. The word stronghold appears only once in the New Testament.

2. A stronghold is a fortress of lies that the enemy builds in your mind and emotions.

3. A stronghold is how the demon stays in, while an open door is how the demon gets in.

4. Strongholds are cast down, while demons must be cast out.

5. Strongholds are broken over time, while demons are cast out quickly.

6. The truth breaks strongholds, while the Name of Jesus casts out demons.
