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.

JESUS and SPIRIT

 

Acts 10:38

King James Version

38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth 

with the Holy Ghost and with power

who went about doing good, 

and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; 

for God was with him.


How did the HOLY SPIRIT manifest Himself in JESUS?

What was JESUS able to do because of SPIRIT?

How did people react to His power?

First, we need to know this:

(We highlighted in red, proof of SPIRIT's presence.)

Matthew 1:18-20

King James Version

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: 

When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, 

before they came together, 

she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

19 Then Joseph her husband, 

being a just man, 

and not willing to make her a public example, 

was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, 

behold, 

the angel of the Lord appeared unto him 

in a dream, saying, 

Joseph, thou son of David, 

fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: 

for that which is conceived in her 

is of the Holy Ghost.


Mary was "found with child of the Holy ghost".

JESUS is "of the Holy Ghost".

Thus, JESUS is of the SPIRIT.

Is it any wonder SPIRIT's power in JESUS?

Many verses, and miracles, attest to that.

As in this chapter from Luke:

Luke 4:1-4

King James Version

4 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost 

returned from Jordan, 

and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. 

And in those days he did eat nothing: 

and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

3 And the devil said unto him, 

If thou be the Son of God, 

command this stone that it be made bread.

4 And Jesus answered him, saying, 

It is written, 

That man shall not live by bread alone, 

but by every word of God.


Luke 4:5-8

King James Version

5 And the devil, 

taking him up into an high mountain, 

shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world 

in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said unto him, 

All this power will I give thee, 

and the glory of them: 

for that is delivered unto me; 

and to whomsoever I will I give it.

7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Get thee behind me, Satan: 

for it is written, 

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, 

and him only shalt thou serve.


Luke 4:9-13

King James Version

9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, 

and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, 

and said unto him, 

If thou be the Son of God, 

cast thyself down from hence:

10 For it is written, 

He shall give his angels charge over thee, 

to keep thee:

11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, 

lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12 And Jesus answering said unto him, 

It is said, 

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, 

he departed from him for a season.


Luke 4:14-16

King James Version

14 And Jesus returned 

in the power of the Spirit into Galilee

and there went out a fame of him 

through all the region round about.

15 And he taught in their synagogues, 

being glorified of all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, 

where he had been brought up: 

and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue 

on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.


Luke 4:17-21

King James Version

17 And there was delivered unto him 

the book of the prophet Esaias. 

And when he had opened the book, 

he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 

because he hath anointed me 

to preach the gospel to the poor; 

he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 

to preach deliverance to the captives, 

and recovering of sight to the blind, 

to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, 

and he gave it again to the minister, 

and sat down. 

And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue 

were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, 

This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.


Luke 4:28-32

King James Version

28 And all they in the synagogue, 

when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, 

and led him unto the brow of the hill 

whereon their city was built, 

that they might cast him down headlong.

30 But he passing through the midst of them 

went his way,

31 And came down to Capernaum, 

a city of Galilee, 

and taught them on the sabbath days.

32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: 

for his word was with power.


Luke 4:33-34

King James Version

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, 

which had a spirit of an unclean devil, 

and cried out with a loud voice,

34 Saying, Let us alone; 

what have we to do with thee, 

thou Jesus of Nazareth? 

art thou come to destroy us? 

I know thee who thou art; 

the Holy One of God.


Luke 4:35-37

King James Version

35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, 

Hold thy peace, and come out of him

And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, 

he came out of him, and hurt him not.

36 And they were all amazed, 

and spake among themselves, saying, 

What a word is this! 

for with authority and power he commandeth 

the unclean spirits, and they come out.

37 And the fame of him went out 

into every place of the country round about.


Luke 4:38-39

King James Version

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, 

and entered into Simon's house. 

And Simon's wife's mother was taken 

with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

39 And he stood over her, 

and rebuked the fever; 

and it left her: 

and immediately she arose 

and ministered unto them.


Luke 4:40

King James Version

40 Now when the sun was setting, 

all they that had any sick with divers diseases 

brought them unto him; 

and he laid his hands on every one of them, 

and healed them.


Luke 4:41

King James Version

41 And devils also came out of many, 

crying out, and saying, 

Thou art Christ the Son of God

And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: 

for they knew that he was Christ.


Luke 4:42-44

King James Version

42 And when it was day, 

he departed and went into a desert place: 

and the people sought him, 

and came unto him, 

and stayed him, 

that he should not depart from them.

43 And he said unto them, 

I must preach the kingdom of God 

to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

GOD's RAINBOW

 

Genesis 9:13

King James Version

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, 

and it shall be for a token of a covenant 

between me and the earth.


The rainbow, is GOD's rainbow.

Used, according to His purpose.

We found THREE instances wherein GOD used a rainbow:


ONE, as testimony of His covenant with Noah, and his sons.

In total contrast to how the world is using it now.

Here's what the Bible says:

Genesis 9:8-17

King James Version

8 And God spake unto Noah, 

and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I, 

behold, 

I establish my covenant with you, 

and with your seed after you;

10 And with every living creature that is with you, 

of the fowl, 

of the cattle, 

and of every beast of the earth with you; 

from all that go out of the ark, 

to every beast of the earth.

11 And I will establish my covenant with you, 

neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; 

neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

12 And God said, 

This is the token of the covenant which I make 

between me and you and every living creature that is with you, 

for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, 

and it shall be for a token of a covenant 

between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, 

when I bring a cloud over the earth, 

that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, 

which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; 

and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; 

and I will look upon it, 

that I may remember the everlasting covenant 

between God and every living creature of all flesh 

that is upon the earth.

17 And God said unto Noah, 

This is the token of the covenant, 

which I have established between me 

and all flesh that is upon the earth.


TWO, in reflection of His GLORY.

As shown in prophet Ezekiel's vision:

Ezekiel 1:28

King James Version

28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud 

in the day of rain, 

so was the appearance of the brightness round about. 

This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. 

And when I saw it, 

I fell upon my face, 

and I heard a voice of one that spake.


THREE, used in manifestation of GOD's supreme power.

As shown on this third verse:

Revelation 10:1-4

King James Version

10 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, 

clothed with a cloud: 

and a rainbow was upon his head, 

and his face was as it were the sun, 

and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 And he had in his hand a little book open: 

and he set his right foot upon the sea, 

and his left foot on the earth,

3 And cried with a loud voice, 

as when a lion roareth: 

and when he had cried, 

seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, 

I was about to write: 

and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, 

Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, 

and write them not.


Beware how we use the rainbow.

It cannot serve man's desecrating purpose.

The rainbow is GOD's rainbow.

It is sacred to the LORD.

Believers abide by that.

GOD is in CONTROL of the CLIMATE

 

2 Chronicles 20:6

King James Version

6 And said, 

O Lord God of our fathers, 

art not thou God in heaven? 

and rulest not thou 

over all the kingdoms of the heathen? 

and in thine hand is there not power and might, 

so that none is able to withstand thee?


Climate change?

Really?

We're forgetting something.

Isn't God, the LORD of ALL, in total control of everything?

That everything is according to His will?

Why do we doubt Him so?

These verses will remind us of His POWER.

Genesis 1:1-5

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, 

and void; 

and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 

And the Spirit of God moved 

upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, 

Let there be light: 

and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, 

that it was good: 

and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, 

and the darkness he called Night. 

And the evening and the morning 

were the first day.


Genesis 2:5-6

King James Version

5 And every plant of the field before it 

was in the earth, 

and every herb of the field before it grew: 

for the Lord God had not caused it to rain 

upon the earth, 

and there was not a man to till the ground.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, 

and watered the whole face of the ground.


Genesis 7:4

King James Version

4 For yet seven days, 

and I will cause it to rain upon the earth 

forty days and forty nights; 

and every living substance that I have made 

will I destroy from off the face of the earth.


Genesis 7:11-12

King James Version

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, 

in the second month, 

the seventeenth day of the month, 

the same day were all the fountains of the great deep 

broken up, 

and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 And the rain was upon the earth 

forty days and forty nights.


Genesis 7:19-20

King James Version

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly 

upon the earth; 

and all the high hills, 

that were under the whole heaven, 

were covered.

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; 

and the mountains were covered.


Genesis 8:1-3

King James Version

8 And God remembered Noah, 

and every living thing, 

and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: 

and God made a wind to pass over the earth, 

and the waters assuaged;

2 The fountains also of the deep 

and the windows of heaven were stopped, 

and the rain from heaven was restrained;

3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: 

and after the end of the hundred and fifty days 

the waters were abated.


Genesis 8:20-22

King James Version

20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; 

and took of every clean beast, 

and of every clean fowl, 

and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; 

and the Lord said in his heart, 

I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; 

for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; 

neither will I again smite any more every thing living, 

as I have done.

22 While the earth remaineth, 

seedtime and harvest, 

and cold and heat, 

and summer and winter, 

and day and night shall not cease.


1 Chronicles 29:11

King James Version

11 Thine, O Lord is the greatness, 

and the power, and the glory, 

and the victory, 

and the majesty: 

for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; 

thine is the kingdom, O Lord, 

and thou art exalted as head above all.


2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version

14 If my people, 

which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, 

and pray, 

and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; 

then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, 

and will heal their land.


2 Chronicles 20:6

King James Version

6 And said, 

O Lord God of our fathers, 

art not thou God in heaven?

so that none is able to withstand thee?

and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;

and every name that is named, 

not only in this world,
