The TRIUNE GOD

 

Proverbs 25:2

King James Version

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: 

but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

How much do you know about GOD?

Do you believe in Him at all?

I believe in GOD.

I'm not Catholic now, but I'm grateful for what they taught me.

Without which, I'd have no idea Who GOD is at all.

It has been my spiritual foundation.

The nuns taught us about GOD.

That there's the "Holy Trinity":

GOD the Father, 

GOD the Son, and 

GOD the Holy Spirit.

What Christians also call the "TRIUNE GOD" or "GODHEAD".

"Triune" because GOD has THREE persons.

I didn't ask questions then, because we all took it for granted.

It was only when GOD made me born again in 2019 that things became clear.

For He led me to JESUS.

He made me search Scripture.

He sent His SPIRIT to make Scripture clear for me.

And how crystal clear His WORD became!

It has since become my foundation for all our SPIRIT-led blogs.

Now, I'm able to piece the "puzzle" together.

Not that it was vague, just not clearly explained by others.

It takes anointing from the SPIRIT, that we may understand.

Bear note that even a child could understand these.

My childlike heart always sought simplicity.

And in JESUS is simplicity.

2 Corinthians 11:3

King James Version

3 But I fear, lest by any means, 

as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, 

so your minds should be corrupted 

from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Now, here's what I've come to know.

Through guidance from SPIRIT.

Starting with THREE basic things:

GOD, the Father, created everything.

Genesis 1:1

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven 

and the earth.

GOD the Son, JESUS, was sent by the Father.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT, was sent by JESUS.

John 16:7

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

This we know to be GOD's love, mercy, and compassion.

That He did not leave us orphaned, when His Son, JESUS, had to go back to Him.

They left us with Their SPIRIT, for these reasons which JESUS enumerated:

John 16:8-11

King James Version

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because 

the prince of this world is judged.

John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

John 16:14-15

King James Version

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

You will also want to know something.

That we were created in the TRIUNE GOD's image, and likeness:

Genesis 1:26-27

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing 

that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.

The whole objective of this exercise?

That we may know GOD's LOVE for us.

There was no gap in His loving, giving, and saving.

There was a beautiful continuity to GOD's GLORY.

He always sent Himself, in another Person.

That all of us may be saved.

Saved from what?

Saved from sin.

Saved from Satan.

Saved from self.

How did I come to know all these things?

By being born again.

By being taught by SPIRIT.

By loving GOD with all my heart.

By seeking ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

By praying to JESUS, each time I had a question.

By listening to His SPIRIT, for answers.

By searching Scripture all the time.

By writing about GOD all the time.

By wanting to share with you my many discoveries.

By being grateful for everything.

By being true to GOD.

Jeremiah 29:13

King James Version

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, 

when ye shall search for me 

with all your heart.

2 Timothy 2:15

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 

rightly dividing the word of truth.

Hebrews 11:6

King James Version

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: 

for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, 

and that he is a rewarder of them 

that diligently seek him.

The Bible has 66 books.

I need all the help I can get.

SPIRIT does that.

Which SPIRIT is in you?

 

1 John 4:1

King James Version

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, 

but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

because many false prophets 

are gone out into the world. 

How do you know which spirit is in you?

How can you tell if it's the SPIRIT of GOD?

How can you tell if it's NOT of GOD?

How can you differentiate the "spirit of truth", from the "spirit of error"?

Never again will you doubt which spirit is in you.

Scripture makes it plain.

That which is of GOD:

Isaiah 55:8-9

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 

neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 

so are my ways higher than your ways, 

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

John 3:1-2

King James Version

3 There was a man of the Pharisees, 

named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, 

and said unto him, 

Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher 

come from God: 

for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, 

except God be with him.

John 3:3-8

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man 

pluck them out of my hand.

John 14:16-17

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

John 16:7

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, the Comforter 

will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

John 16:8-11

King James Version

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world 

is judged

John 16:13-15

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

behold, 

all things are become new.

King James Version

13 In whom ye also trusted, 

after that ye heard the word of truth,

ye were sealed with that 

holy Spirit of promise,

than he that is in the world.

He hath an unclean spirit.

and the lusts of your father ye will do.

ye walked according to the course of this world,

that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, 

giving heed to seducing spirits, 

and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; 

having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, 

and commanding to abstain from meats, 

which God hath created to be received 

with thanksgiving of them which believe 

and know the truth.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, 

that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, 

trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, 

fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.

ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, 

that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

1 John 4:3

 any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination,

in the Lamb's book of life.

Now you can tell spirits apart.

Which one would you rather live in you?

Which one influences you?

Don't mess around with "spirits".

We'd rather you have the SPIRIT of GOD in you.

And so would you.

Matthew 6:24

ye believe in God, believe also in me.

and my reward is with me, 

to give every man 

according as his work shall be.

To know more about JESUS, and Satan, you need to read their discourse.

You will see a marked difference:
