Walk up and down

The Bible says that daily we need to search the scriptures. We need not debate or have a discussion, but just simply to have in our own modest way an exchange of views and of light about the word of God that we may be wise ourselves with this wisdom coming from God as the Father teaches us through the enlightenment coming from the Holy Spirit as we read the words of the Son in the Bible and other explanations coming from the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, and others.

                                                

These that we discover do not necessarily make us proud or conceited but that we may have the knowledge to help others understand too the Bible. There are also a lot of people concerned about the Godhead, especially about the Holy Spirit and the miracles happening in our lives today. By the guidance of the Holy Spirit, though it seem it does, yet a statement in the Bible does not actually contradict another statement we find, and we need not be confused. It is only in our mind that we seem to see contradictions.

We read in the Bible that, “We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment to know the one who is true. And we are in one who is true, that is in his Son Jesus Christ! He is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5:20).” So we hear from the scripture itself, that it is the Son himself who has given us the light on who is true. Of course we know that truth comes from the Father and he is true being the Creator. But there is this Son that comes from the Father and that he is not only true but he himself is the true God and eternal life making him a Deity and not just the man that is in one accord with the Father. It is the Father himself who has given us the knowledge that truth comes from his Son Jesus Christ.

To add that every knowledge is an inspiration from the Holy Spirit speaking not of himself but that from which he hears, the Spirit also is another one who is true, that makes the triune all true forming the Trinity. But the question is where does this three dwell or how are they manifested?

Saul in his journey was enveloped with a light from heaven. Likewise he fell on earth and heard a voice saying unto him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” Thus, Saul who was later named Paul said, “Who are you, Sir?” Hence the reply came, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting! Now get up and go to the city and you will be told what you must do.” So it appears here that the God who speaks though nowhere can Paul see this God, for he finds no one but the light except for the voice, is Jesus! The three persons of the Godhead is Jesus! Furthermore, it is quite a wonder that these three are distinct from each other but function well as one God, who is Jesus! He is not just the Son, but also the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Likewise, here we pause for a prayer.

We then need to repent of our being unreasonable and pray to the Lord, that if possible our intention may be forgiven. So why should we argue with each other when in tranquility we can commune as friends for as we see that the Bible’s statements do not actually contradict each other? Accordingly, no matter how others may twist the light they derive from the scriptures it is clear that the Deity of God is an absolute mystery explainable by our God himself.

Though we can derive some truth as we may place the word in the discourse and pray that the Spirit speak to the churches that we may find truth, we are not even halfway to the truth for the true God and eternal life is Jesus himself and it is he through the light from the Spirit and the permission and blessing of the Father can best explain about his nature. However, we cannot capsulate this truth about the nature of God or of Jesus for if we do so, we make our God smaller. But our God is big! Thus His power extends all throughout everything. He is present in all bounds being omnipresent. Also, neither can any duality fathom this mystery that is revealed only in God’s will.

So we are here as Christians standing before the door. If we are permitted to enter, it is not only the door that will be opened for us to enter but also even windows where we can find the Virgin Mary, our Mother waiting for us to climb through the rope, which she extends for us to grip upon. But when the master says, “I know you not!” no matter how we cry and grind our teeth if his decision is firm, we having not filled our oil containers in preparation for the wedding or the feast, we can no longer be permitted to enter being left after the caughting up.

The word is clear, “In the moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet will sound, the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed (I Corinthians 15:52). For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words (I Thessalonians 4:16-18 KJV).”

We are one big family, and all deserve salvation for we all have a claim in this! Thus, we need to be guarded, and likewise in our body we need to wear the breastplate of righteousness, and on our head the helmet of salvation, and be ready for the sound of the trumpet. For in the time destined, one shall be taken and the other left; one shall be grinding in the mill and her companion shall be caught up in the air; the foolish virgin shall not find oil and shall lose track of time, but the wise virgin shall with her lamp filled with oil which is the Holy Spirit be there to meet the Lord in the air and shall ever be with the Lord. Repent, or else the Lord will come to us quickly! And he will knock on doors and he will sup with us.

Furthermore, one shall say unto him, “What are these wounds on your chest? What are these wounds in your hands?” He shall answer, “ With these I was wounded in the house of my dear ones (Zechariah 13:6).” Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega; he is the beginning and the ending! If anyone thirsts, let him come to Him and drink for out of his belly shall then flow rivers of living water.

The Lord said, “ I will strengthen you in the Lord; and you shall walk up and down in my name (Zechariah 10:12)!” May we friends then find our comfort in the Lord?
