WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?

LESSON 3

_______________________


When we have a proper understanding of the trinity of one God in three persons, it will help us understand the position and function Jesus has in it. So let us go to the scriptures and see what it says about Jesus, to know who he really is. We will start with the gospel of John.


John 1:1-3 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God {Father], and the Word was God. The same [Word] was in the beginning with God [Father}. All things were made by him, [the Word] and without him was not any thing made that was made.”


The New Testament Greek words lack any word that clearly expresses “God the Father.” When “God” is used, it often is referring to the Father alone, but also at times means the trinity. The original Greek makes no distinction between the two terms because no such concept existed in Greek theology. It is up to the Holy Spirit to show us when it is used for Father and when it is used for the Godhead [trinity].


In John 1:3, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are intertwined as One, yet distinctly separate in function. The Greek term for Word is  “logos” which has a dual meaning. [1] a thought, concept, or conceived plan, and [2] the utterance of that thought, concept or plan. Therefore, logos applies to both Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father had the original thought and plan. The Son uttered or spoke out that thought or plan and the Holy Spirit carried it out. So, Father is the creative thought while the Son is the spoken creative Word of that thought. Then the Holy Spirit takes the utterance of the Word and brings it into being as the creative force of God.


This is the same way in which we are created in God’s image. As He is a trinity, we are also a trinity. Our soul is the source of creative thoughts or plans; it is our mind and corresponds to the Father. 


We speak words that put forth our thoughts, ideas, or plans and this corresponds with the Son, the Word. 


Our human spirit is the energy force of our body, so our spirit acts upon our word to make things happen. It corresponds to God, the Holy Spirit.


Therefore, our soul, and word, and spirit take us through life. We are a trinity, just as God is a trinity.


Tomorrow we will continue to address the trinity of God in creation. It will help us to better understand who Jesus is and always has been and always will be.

STRONG THROUGH GOD

____________________


We have taught about strongholds in our spiritual warfare series, and you can read about it on our website click here to go to our messages and look for Session 24, 25, and 26. You will learn how to overcome strongholds, which are anything that keeps you in bondage.


There is a stronghold that many do not talk about, and that is depending upon our own strength to get victory. It is pride when we think we can accomplish things outside of the help of God. You may think you can win a battle, and for a while it may be true, but it is only temporary. There will always come a time when you cannot do it on your own.


The very breath in our lungs comes from God since he is the creator of life. Man’s fall came when he was deceived into thinking God was withholding something from him. Deception causes us to depend upon our own thinking which can lead to defeat.


God wants us to find our strength in him, and him alone. There are times when we absolutely have no physical or emotional strength to carry on. It is in those times that the only hope we have comes from God and his word. 


The apostle Paul shows us in 2 Corinthians 12 how he dealt with this when everyone was coming against him. God did not remove this “thorn in the flesh” but he told Paul in verse 9, “And he said unto me,’ My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness…’.” 


Paul learned that God would strengthen him. It would be God that would sustain him through hardships and trials. It would be God that got the glory for what he did through Paul. We should have the same mindset. It is not a lack of faith when we depend upon God instead of ourselves. It is faith that He will provide the strength when we cannot do it ourselves. Always remember that his strength is made perfect in our weakness. Speak this over yourself daily to remind yourself that God, through his strength, will always be there for you.

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

 

For this is the hour, this is the hour, saith the Lord for I am opening doors that no man can shut and shutting doors that no man can open. For this is not the hour to be riding the fence. You will see that the doors I am shutting are for your own benefit and good saith the Lord. For I have a plan that is different from the one that you have been on. Oh, you have seen part of it, but I am calling you to me to go with my plan one hundred percent. Do not look to man to unveil what I am about to do for man will fail you. Do not look to your intellect to reason out what I am going to do, for Satan will bombard your mind with many thoughts of deception. Come to me my child and let me remove the hindrances so that you can blossom the way I have intended you to. It has been a dark season, and now I am bringing light into your life so that you will grow more than ever, yet you must allow me to prune those things away that will hold you back. Many have enjoyed this dark time for they have withdrawn into themselves instead of coming to me, the light of their soul, and bringing their very being into the light. Oh, that my children would surrender their will to mine. Oh, that my children would listen to my voice and follow me all the way. Many have gone so far, but I am calling you to total commitment. There will be many dark days ahead, but the light I am shining on your path will keep you safe and secure. There are many things that are coming soon to pass that will bring much fear, but I would say, let me take all fear and doubt away as you come into my presence and spend time to me. Just as a tree must shed its leaves and there is a dormant season, this is the time you have been in and are in. To birth the new leaves, the tree must get rid of the old. Old wineskins would burst when the new wine is put in, so you, also, must be willing to shed the old and let me dress you in the new. This is your hour to go forward and do what I have called you to do. There is no time to contemplate when I call you to myself. There is no time to reason it out. Walk in the spirit, and you will hear my voice. I will show you the way. Come unto me now and be made new. Come unto me now and feel the weight of my glory as it comes upon you. This is so necessary for you, my child. I love you and I am calling to you. Come to me now saith the Lord.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

7-10-2024


Just know that your greatest STRENGTH is NOT in never FAILING at all; But rather it IS in getting back UP every time you DO fail. So act quickly and pick yourself up…And get going again in Jesus Name. Don’t ever forget that you CAN do this when you have God on your side; For He IS the WAY MAKER and He WILL make a way for you. Oh, indeed He WILL; And yes, even when from your point of view there seems to absolutely be NO way…Yet still you need to keep in mind these assuring words God gave us in Galatians 6:9...”So let us not lose heart in doing what’s right, for in due time we will reap if we don’t give up”. Just remember that you still have the upper hand…IF you simply WON’T give UP…But you GET on UP and get to moving. Now today and everyday let this be your motto: “I’m NOT giving up; But I AM getting up and I’m moving up”. Yes, go in Jesus Name; For God’s got you covered; And He has your situation all under control.

Wednesday Thought For Today


Worship is such a precious time to spend with the Lord. So often in many churches the people sing songs of praise and occasionally worship songs. But, have we lost sight of the fact that when we come before Him, our focus should first be on loving and adoring our Lord? I know many will read this and say “I do that.” But do we really? Are we laying down our agenda, thoughts, our needs; to give worship, praise and honor to a God that is so deserving of all these things?



All I know and can attest to is: when we come with no agenda but to honor and worship and love on our Savior, we will enter into His Presence and you will find it difficult to want to leave. So today I encourage you to meditate on how you can minister to God before seeking from Him. He will meet you there.

Oh Hallelujah!!


“I will praise You as long as I live, lifting up my hands to You in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise You with songs of joy. I lie awake thinking of You, meditating on You through the night. Because You are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings. I cling to You; Your strong right hand holds me securely.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭63‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The Eyes of God HCC

 

The eyes of God are watching you

And all you say and do.

And when you look around the World,

God’s eyes they see more than you.

What an awesome God is this,

Our minds can’t comprehend.

To know each person everywhere

This miracle God, creator, and friend.

He even gave his only son,

And put him in the womb.

The womb of Mary, kind and good,

What a miracle, this Virgin birth.

This son, this Jesus, came for us.

To save us from all sin.

He gave his life, was crucified.

Then came to life again.

He now sits with God above,

And we will see him soon. Please come to him.

Give your life to him. Repent and be made new.
