Redeeming Luv; to the Inward Jew Nation in Christ, all seekers of truth and of the Kingdom; worldwide.

Beloved, this is Saturday, March 19, 2016!

"For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He had given thanks, He break it and said, "Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me." After the same manneralso He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood; this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in the remembrance of me." [1 Corinthians 11: 24 & 25]

“For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He had given thanks, He break it and said, “Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.”
After the same manneralso He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, “This cup is the new testament in my blood; this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in the remembrance of me.” [1 Corinthians 11: 24 & 25]

March –April is the month of Nisan and it is the beginning of the biblical ecclesiastical year, according to Leviticus 23:5. Happily, in the evening , on April 22, 2016, we will celebrate Christ and our Passover, “with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth,” even as we take part in His Supper in proclamation of His death till He comes. [1 Corinthians 5:7-8, 11:25-26] And at the same time we will celebrate our personal and collective departure from the bondage of sin and enslavement, by the precious Blood of Christ. [1 Peter 1:18-19] Let’s give Yahweh the Highest praise! Hallelujah!!!

Rejoice and receive your Passover blessings for Restoration and New Beginnings by faith in Jesus’ name!

Today, Redeeming Luv brings you another inspired message from the throne of God, to: liberate you in Christ, cheer you up, inspire you thinking and build you up in the most holy Faith, in Jesus’ name.

 Historical background to the Old Testament Passover

Beloved, the ancient children of Israel of the Old Testament were enslaved during their sojourn in Egypt for about four hundred and thirty years (430). Subsequently, through divine intervention they experienced a Passover, followed by an exodus (departure) from Egypt, i.e. through the Red Sea, by the outstretched hand of Yahweh. After the Crossing Over, to the other side of the Sea, Yahweh led them into the wilderness where they spent forty years of wandering, and conditioning, before a new generation met Yahweh’s requirements  and entered the Promised Land under the leadership of Caleb and Joshua.

As Israel,  our Ancestors from  Africa were enslaved for about 400 years or more in the Americas

As the Ancient Children of Israel of the Old Testament, our ancestors from the West Coast of Africa, and Angola were enslaved for roughly four hundred years (400) in the Americas before they were fully emancipated. And this event took place at various periods, For example, some in North America were liberated:  between 1777 and 1804; in Brazil, South America, by 1888, in Haiti (i.e. the Spanish West Indies,) by 1793 due to  the victorious Haitian Revolution there; and  in other colonies in the West Indies  and in British Guiana, South America, our ancestors were fully liberated or emancipated from physical slavery on August 1, 1838, by the help of Yahweh…. through His human instruments…. However, no sooner physical slavery had been abolished, than a new form of it emerged, namely, Mental and Spiritual slavery, which has been adversely affecting the off-springs of the once enslaved Africans, during these post emancipation years i.e., 177 years (August 1, 1838- August 1, 2015). But the devil is a liar, for all who believe the Gospel of Christ, from the heart, will be fully emancipated by the precious blood of Christ.

The Precious Blood of Christ for the eradication of the new form of Enslavement on African Descendants and all Nations who believe

Beloved, it was in this current state of Mental and Spiritual enslavement that, we, the Inward Jew Nation in Christ (Guyana, South America,) an arm of the Universal Church of Christ Seventh Day Ministries INC., was birthed by the grace of Yahweh, on September 1, 2013. And we are committed to the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, for the liberation or emancipation of African Descendants and People of all Nations, who believe it from the heart, that we cannot be redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, or from their lifestyle of vanity received by tradition from their fathers: “but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” [1 Peter 1:18-19]

Requirements that define a Jew inwardly

We, who are born again, are born into the Family of God, and we are complete in Christ, who is the Head of all principalities and powers. Also in Christ, instead of a physical circumcision of the flesh, we are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ,” … and being dead in our sins and the circumcision of our flesh, hath He quickened (made alive) together with Him having forgiven us our trespasses. [Colossians 2:10-12] So with this change of heart by the Spirit, also referred to as “circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit,” [Romans 2:29] defines a New Creation in Christ, namely, “the Jew which is one inwardly.” And because we believe the Word from the heart, and it has become alive in us, we are Inward Jews in Christ, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light: which in time pass were not a people, but are now a people of God’ which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. [1 Peter 2:9-10] Amen. Let us give Yahweh the Highest praise, Hallelujah!!!

The plight of those who keep the traditional O T Passover

Beloved, unlike Ancient Israel, whose divinely abandoned O T Passover is history, and therefore has no continuity to bring them into any real, spiritual and personal experience with Yahweh, and with Christ: for us, the Inward Jew Nation in Christ, (Guyana, South America,) and in all Nations who believe;  our Passover is Christ, “who is sacrificed for us. [1 Corinthians 5:7] Our N T Passover has continuity through Yahweh and Christ the Son of God, who dwell in each believer by the Spirit. O rejoice with me, and together let us exalt the name Yahweh. Glory to Yahweh. Hallelujah!!!

Unlike Israel whose annual preparation for their Passover and the feast is outer and physical: our  Inward Jew’s daily preparation for Christ our Passover is inward, or inner. In doing so, we “Purge out therefore the old leaven (sin on a daily basis) that we may be a new lump, as we are unleavened. It is written, “Therefore let us keep the feast, “not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”  [1 Corinthians 5:6-8]

It is noteworthy that in the Old Testament Dispensation, the lamb that was slain in Israel was “done of the letter,” and that that Dispensation though one of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; its glory was to be done away.” [11 Corinthians 3:7] This was so because it was a shadow of the real i.e. Jesus the Christ the Lamb of God, in the New Testament Dispensation, who took away the sins of the world. [John 3:16] Unlike the Old Testament Dispensation, the New Testament Dispensation is not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. [11Corinthians 3:6] And according to the scripture, the latter which remains is more glorious than the former which was done away with. [11 Corinthians 3:11-12] Can you say, Amen? I thank you. Amen. It is written:

The Situation

By reading Moses only, the veil is still upon the Children of Israel’s heart: and this is what is hindering them from turning to Christ Jesus. Also, unlike the O T Passover which Israel keep: we who have Christ our Passover, have a more that glorious one by comparison. Now, “Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:  And not as Moses, who put a veil over his face that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished.” [11 Corinthians 3:12]

The Reason

According to the scripture, “But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; which veil is done away in Christ. “But even to this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon the heart.” [11 Corinthians 3:14]

The Solution

Instead of the outward Jewish ritual of circumcision of the flesh, and throwing out all physical things made with yeast or its equivalent from their premises etc; circumcision of the heart, in the spirit, the results of which are: (1) a change of heart, and (2) a mindset renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit; [Romans 12:1-2] are all requirements that clearly define a Jew inwardly in order to receive Yahweh’s approval and praise. [Romans 2:29] A Jew inwardly is anyone in any nation worldwide, who meets these requirements, Israel inclusive. Beloved, this is the Word of God.

Reading the Bible as a whole with special focus on the New Testament Scriptures would help not only Israel to come to acknowledge Christ as their Savior and Lord, but also their Passover, “who is sacrificed for us.” As a result, they would purge themselves from sins such as malice and wickedness; and keep the real and continuing and more established feast of Christ our Passover, with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

Note: A background of the Old Testament Passover may be in read in Exodus 12:1-20. So we will focus on our New Testament tradition concerning Christ our Passover who is sacrificed for us. Paul the Apostle wrote to the Church at Corinth thus:

Paul’s revelation on the New Testament Passover

“For I have received of the Lord that which also I have delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: and when He had given thanks he broke it and said, ‘Take it eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.’ After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, ‘This cup is the New Testament in my blood: this do in remembrance of me.’ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till He comes. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the blood and body of the Lord.”  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation unto himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.” [1 Corinthians 11: 23-30]

 My inspirational thoughts and comment

Finally, my Beloved, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, the Lamb of God, became our Passover when He through the eternal Spirit offered Himself once without spot to God, “to bear the sins of many.” [Hebrews 9:28] And this memorable event took place at Mt. Calvary, outside of Jerusalem, where He was crucified in A.D. 33. Subsequently, He was placed in a tomb from sundown Tuesday (which is the commencement of Wednesday, for the night precedes the day [Genesis 1: 5] where He, as Jonah, spent seventy two full hours “in the heart of the earth,” [Matthew 12: 28-40] before His Father by His Spirit raised Him from the dead. And this event took place, in the end of the Sabbath, which was sometime after sundown Saturday when Sunday actually commences. The Dusk and the night season having passed, and as it began to dawn towards the day light of the first week Mary Magdalene, Joanna and the other Mary and others with them went to see the sepulcher. So when they arrived there an angel said to them, “Fear not for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come see the place where the Lord lay.” [Matthew 28:1-6, Luke 24:1-10]

Beloved, when we celebrate Christ our Passover, and eat of that bread, and drink of that cup, we do it not only in remembrance of His death, burial and resurrection, but also that He is coming back for all of us who believe His Word from the heart.

Prayer

Yahweh, our heavenly Father, do keep all of us, who believe that we might endure to the end, for we happily look forward to Christ’s return. Grant it Father in Jesus’ name Amen. Shalom.

May Yahweh richly bless you and your household, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Serving in newness of spirit,

Redeeming Luv.

Redeeming Luv Greetings to: the Inward Jew Nation in Christ, all seekers of truth and of the Kingdom; worldwide.

Beloved, this is Saturday, March 4, 2016! Rejoice, believe and receive added valued and upward March blessings for Restoration and New Beginnings by faith in Jesus’ name!!! Are you really ready to rock in God’s love, and in Christ the Rock, with me? If you would let it be, shout I hear you, and I want to become a manifestation of God’s love, a pedigree, in Jesus’ name.

Today Redeeming Luv brings you another inspired message from the throne of God, to: liberate you in Christ, cheer you up, and build you up in the most holy Faith, in Jesus’ name.

 

Message

 Know the only single true God, and become a manifestation of His love

Eternal life is, “To know the only single true God; and Jesus Christ, whom He hast sent,” [John 17:3] Beloved, knowing that the only true God is love, for His very nature is love, is important to us, because being the off spring of God, we ought to know that we should love one another “not in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.”[1 John 3:18-19] As brethren in Christ, let us live and dwell and work together in God’s love without hypocrisy as of now, i.e. Saturday March 12, 2016, because “God is love and He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in Him.” [1 John 4:16] Beloved, God our heavenly Father, is invisible. And for us to help John Public, and our other brothers/sisters in Christ to know and to see God, we must become a manifestation of God’s love made visible in us, His People/Nation, in Jesus name, so that the world today may know the only single true God; and Jesus Christ, whom He has sent.

God dwells in us by His Spirit when we Love one another

Beloved, the very act of laying our lives down as a means of surrendering them to God, and to Christ His Son, that Christ might live our lives for Himself, is a sign that “we have passed from death unto life, because we love the Brethren,” as He commands us.[1 John 3:14] And this is His commandment , that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another. And He that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in Him. “And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us.” [1 John 4:23-24] As God by His Spirit dwelt in the Apostles of the First Century Church, so that when Ananias lied to Peter, he simply said to Him, “Thou hast not lie unto men, but unto God.” [Acts 5:4] Thus in the same way God by His Spirit dwells in us, who believe from the heart, in this Twenty First Century, and whosoever lies to us would be lying to God. And there is no doubt that, with a similar anointing as they, a similar occurrence is possible.

Our further stance and commitment

This Twenty First Century marks roughly seventeen centuries since local churches have been drifting away from the “Faith that was once delivered to the Saints.” [Jude verse 4] What is alarming also is the many erroneous assumptions and blasphemous interpretations of the simple Godhead Status of the Most High (Highest), which when cannot be supported by sound scriptures, many who embrace and promote such assumptions say that it (the Godhead) is a mystery. But I have good news for all who are responsible for this curse upon the multitude,s who believe them, for the time has come and now is that we, who believe in the only one God and Father of All, take a further stance against the Spirit of those erroneous assumptions, reverse this curse and send the Holy Ghost and Fire to roast that spirit, and set the minds of the captivated free, in Jesus’ name. I feel led to pray here and now.

Prayer

Yahweh my heavenly Father, I reverse the blindness and the curse, the many false assumptions and interpretations of your Godhead Status has brought to bear on the innocent and God fearing during these centuries in Jesus’ name. Have mercy and forgive our numerous errors and faults committed to this date, and lead us by your Spirit in all truths, that we may know you, and Jesus the Christ, whom you have sent, that we may have Eternal life; even as we continue to yield ourselves to the Spirit within, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The right concept of God is important, lest we worship an unknown God

Beloved, if we do not know or do not adhere to the Biblical definition of Eternal Life, then our concept of God, and of Christ His Son, will not measure up to the WORD, and chances are that we, as the Athenians, may ignorantly be worshiping an unknown god, possibly mortal men and their human spirit, empowered by the prince and power of the air: and not Yahweh the only true and living God, by whom we have Eternal life. [Acts 17:22-31] It was for that cause, namely, worshiping an unknown God, a door was open to Paul for Him to declare and make known the true God to the Athenians in Mars Hill.

A background that led to Paul’s message in Mars Hill

After the uproar in Thessalonica, where Jason and another believer, both supporters of Paul, were dragged by an angry mob unto the rulers of the City, even as they cried, “These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also[ whom Jason hath received: and these do all contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another King one Jesus…they let them go” [Acts 17:1-9] Subsequently, the Brethren sent Paul and Silas by night unto Berea where they went into a synagogue and preached, but not for long because the Jews from Thessalonica went across to Berea and mustered up a mob against them. However, the brethren immediately sent Paul away. Leaving Silas and Timothy behind, Paul’s Guides took him to Athens where he waited for them. It was during that waiting period Paul saw that the City was “wholly given to idolatry.” So he argued with the Jews in the synagogue and with religious persons in the market place on a daily basis. Then he met with a third group, namely, philosophers of the Epicuréans and of the Stó-ics, who were curious to hear his “new doctrine,” because to them, Paul brought “certain strange things” to their ears: and they wanted to know the meaning of them. As a result, Paul was given an hearing at a venue, this is, the “Court of the Areopagites” known also as Mars Hill. [Acts 17:22]

Paul in Mars Hill

In His bold and outspoken address to the men of Athens, Paul told them that he perceived that “in all things” they were too superstitious, the fact that as he passed by and saw their symbols of worship, and even found an altar which was inscribed, “To the Unknown God,” whom said he, “Ye ignorantly worship.”[Acts 17:23] With that said, Paul shared His knowledge of  God with them when he told them that the only true and living God, made the world and everything within it. And because He is the Lord of the heaven and the earth he dwelt not in temples which man made, neither is He worshiped with the hands of men, “as though He needed any thing,” due to the simple fact that He “giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.” [Acts 17:24-25] He also pointed out to them God’s plan and purpose for all nations of men to: (1) have one blood flowing in their veins, (2) inhabit the entire earth of which he “hath determined the times before appointed, and (3) the bounds of their habitation.” [Acts 17:26] And God’s reason behind His actions Paul said was that men should seek and find Him. And God, said Paul, was not far away from every one of them, “For in him we live, and move and have our being.” [Acts 17:28] At that point, he sought to establish a common ground of understanding between the Athenians and some of their poets, who said men are God’s offspring by quoting them as saying, “For we are also his offspring.”

Thus in his effort to change their mind set, Paul emphasized on the words of their poets i.e. “off-spring of God,” and including himself he said to them, “For as much then as we are the offspring of God, “we ought not to think that the Godhead,” (the highest status among divine Deities; including common gods) “is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by man’s devices.” [Acts 17: 28-29]  For God has long overlooked such ignorance and command all everywhere to repent: [Acts 17:30] because on judgment day, Jesus; God’s appointed Judge will “judge the world in righteousness” and the risen Jesus, is the assurance that God has given to all men, that His appointee, Jesus the Christ, would indeed judge the world.[Acts 17:31]

The Inward Jew Nation in Christ distinctive

Truly Eternal life is, “That they might know thee  the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.” [John 17:3] We know and do believe that Jesus the Christ is God’s appointed Judge. As our Ethiopian brother’s declaration at Gaza (which was desert) in A.D.33-34, we do know and believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. [Acts 8:37] We also believe that the only single God dwells in His Son and His Son in Him. And we have a common knowledge and belief of the love that God has towards us. We believe and confess that God is love; and that the man/woman, who dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him/her. For in God’s love, our love is made perfect (complete) that “we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as He is (love) so are we in this world.” [1 John 4:17]  We also know that our love towards our brother is a criterion that will finally determine our fate on the Day of Judgment.

Digest and be blessed! It is written:

“If a man says I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment hath we from Him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.” [1John 4:20-21]  

The culture of God’s love was actually practiced in the First Century Church

This love of the brethren was distinctly expressed in 11 John 1:1-6, when John the Elder of the Church addressed the Elect lady and her children and said, “…Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.” (Question: How can the Son of the Father be the very Father???)

“I rejoice greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye shall walk in it.” [1 John 1:3-6]

By our love towards one another: others would know that our invisible God is love

Fellow Inward Jew in Christ, and all believers of the Word, let’s embrace the culture of God’s love and practice it among our brothers and sisters in our daily lifestyle, as we become a manifestation of His Sovereignty and of His love made visibly in us, the Inward Jew Nation in Christ. Understand that by this way of live we will make others know and see that our God, who is invisible, is Love. “For herein is our love made perfect, (complete) that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: “because as He is, so are we in this world.”   O let us give us give Yahweh the Highest: thanks and praise! Hallelujah!!!

I close with my thoughts:

The thought of a People in Christ, coming together

And sharing God’s love permanently with one another.

It’s a feeling of a loving World we can’t fathom,

Unless we become a manifestation of God’s love

Made visible in us, His In-Jew Nation and New Creation.

End.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory, for ever. Amen. [1 Timothy 1:17]

May Yahweh richly bless you and your household, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Serving in newness of spirit,

Redeeming Luv.

Welcome to the Inward Jew Nation in Christ Communiqué!                                                        Saturday, March 05, 2016                                                                                                                   Year of Restoration, and of New beginnings

Redeeming Luv Greetings to: the Inward Jew Nation in Christ, all seekers of truth and of the Kingdom; worldwide.

Beloved, this is Saturday, March 5, 2016! Rejoice and receive your March blessings for Restoration and New Beginnings, by faith in Jesus’ name! Today Redeeming Luv brings you another inspired message from the throne of God, to: liberate you in Christ, cheer you up, inspire your thinking, and build you up in the most holy Faith, in Jesus’ name.

Beloved, we, the Inward Jew Nation in Christ (Guyana, South America) believe that:

1. Since in the beginning Yahweh the Most High God (the Highest of all) has been sharing His Divinity (sole Godhead Status), in His dual relationship with His Son (the Word), who is distinct from Him. [Colossians 1: 16-17 & 19, 2:9; 1 John 1:1-4]

2. Yahweh in a single (Monos) God, the Father of all and Most High God, who is a divine Spirit. [John 4: 23-24]  It is written, “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord….” [Deuteronomy 6:4-5; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; 11 John verse 3]

3. (a) Yahweh the Most High God changes not. It is written, “For I am the Lord, I change not. Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” [Malachi 3:6], and

(b) “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man that He should repent.” [Numbers 23:18-19]

Inside the nature of God the Father of all

Embedded in the nature of God, was the Word, who is distinct from God His Father, and the Paraclete i.e. the Holy Spirit and promised Comforter that proceeded from God. In the lines of John 15:26-27 Jesus said to His Disciples, “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: and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”  The paraclete, or Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of God, is the one and same Spirit, and is actually the continuation, or extension of Yahweh, our heavenly Father, who is a divine Spirit. So both the Word and the Holy Spirit of God with origin in Yahweh, our God and Father of all, have attributes as God, for example, as distinct Divinities, they are: Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient, they both have a will, a mind, they can think and feel and reason, too. With regards to the Word, as Deity or Divinity, He is a celestial body in the celestial world with God His Father, and had the honor and the privilege of being glorified with the said glory of God His Father. [John 17:5] It is written, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, the same in the beginning was with God.” [John 1:1-2]  Again, “… And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” [John 17:5 

The Word as a Seed

The Eternal Word was/is also a Seed, the incorruptible Seed. There are some important facts about a Seed which we need to know in order to relate it to the Word of God―the incorruptible Seed. First its definition, i.e. “A seed is a young plant with a little root, and a still smaller stem and leaf or leaves. It is generally enclosed in a skin to protect it, and often has some food packed in with it, to help it through the earliest stage of life.” Below is an illustration of a split Bean seed. Interestingly, the Bean seed has two seed leaves while the Corn seed has only one.

The Bean, and the Corn seeds

A SPLIT Bean, and A split Corn seed

So the nature or the life of the Bean, or the Corn is within their seed. As the Bean, or the Corn seed, the nature, or the life of the incorruptible Seed is in the WORD.  Concerning the Word it is written, “In Him was life.” [John 1:4] In spite of the fact that a believer from the heart, may not be able to physically split the incorruptible Seed, this is, the Word. [1 Peter 4:23] He/she knows what the scripture says about the Word, that is, (1) He was from the beginning for He originated in God His Father, who has no beginning or ending, and (2) It says, “In Him was life….” [John 1:4] So then IN the divine Word i.e. the divine Seed is Life, and the Seed is the Life of the Word. Therefore He that has the Word has Life Eternal. [1 John 5:11-12] Thus the nature of the Word determines who or what would come forth from the particular seed. As the single seed leaf that is present in the Corn bean, even so the only Son of God was present in the divine Word, and when the Word was made flesh the one and only begotten Son of God was born of a virgin Mary, either on A.D.4, or A.D. 6, in the month of HESHVAN i.e. October -November. Amen.

The Word and His Choice

The divine Word had a MIND among other attributes of God His Father, and being a Deity, He “Thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men….” [Philippians 2:5-7] So the Word, rather than remaining in the form of God in the celestial world, was decisive on taking upon Him the form of a servant in the terrestrial world.

 Interestingly, however, according to His Son’s own decision to take upon Himself the form of a servant ,Yahweh, before He was to bring in the first begotten into the terrestrial world, in whatever celestial shape/form the Word was in then, He said, “Let all the angels of God worship Him.” [Hebrews 1:6]  As a result, when He cometh into the world, Jesus said, “Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body has thou prepared me; In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will O God … Therefore Jesus the Christ took away the earthly tabernacle on earth, which was a copy of the true one in heaven, in order to establish the true one in Heaven: by which we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Christ once and for all.” [Hebrews 10:5-11]

The Angel spoke into Mary’s spirit

In the meantime, however,  prior to His coming into the terrestrial world, the Angel spoke into the spirit of the virgin Mary, in the month of Adar, the sixth month (February- March) in either A.D. 4 or A.D. 6 and said:

 “Hail thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women … Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of his Father David.” St. Luke 1:28 & 30-33]

Note-worthily, is the time in history i.e. Adar (Feb-March) A.D.4, or A.D.6, when the entire plan of God, and the purpose of the “WORD” and divine SEED was transmitted to the virgin Mary, in that the Angel spoke them into her spirit. And also her response to the divine strategy of how she would conceive to fulfill God’s will and purpose for His Son. According to the Angel the strategy and the ownership was:

“The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” [Luke 1:35]

Mary’s response to the Angel, and her conception

In response to the Angel, Mary accepted and said to the Him, “Behold the handmade of the lord; be it unto me according to thy Word. “ [Luke 1:28 & 30-33, & 38]  Thus by answering in the affirmative, Mary received and believed the Word (divine Seed) which  was spiritually spoken into her spirit, and subsequently conceived and gave birth to the Son of God, who was 100% man with 100% fullness of God His heavenly Father, “For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell.” [John 1:14-17; Colossians 1:19] Mary’s actual conception according to the scripture became a reality the moment she believed, and the Holy Ghost came upon her, and the power of the Highest overshadowed her. [Luke 1:35]

There is only one Spirit of God

Initially, the power of the Highest was demonstrated on the Face of the waters since in the beginning. The scripture says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God (God’s Spirit) moved upon the face of the waters. [Genesis 1:1-2] God, who is a divine Spirit, extended Himself upon the face of the waters. Therefore in spite of the many names used synonymously viz. Comforter, Holy Spirit, the Spirit, the Spirit of God, (the Father of all,) is only One Spirit. [John 4:23-24] As always when Jesus was on earth He pointed many to a Single God and Father. For example: During His encounter with the woman of Samaria, who went to draw water from Jacob’s well which was located on a piece of ground at Sychar, a City of Samaria, He said to her:

 “But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.” [John 4:23-24]

An understanding of God’s power and the continuation of His one Spirit

The continuation or the extinction of God’s Spirit can be understood more clearly if one has an understanding of how an Electrical Generating Station operates and distributes power. Below is an illustration of a Generating Station.

Electrical power is generated at the Station, and transmitted to load centers through an electrical transmission system.

Electrical power is generated at the Station, and transmitted to load centers through an electrical transmission system.

Electrical power is generated at the Station, and transmitted to load centers through an electrical transmission system. A load Centre is a place where maximum power is consumed. Electricity is further distributed and supplied to each domestic, commercial and industrial consumer through step down transformers and other adequate devises to maintain maximum voltage and current flow through the various service wires leading to homes, factories and industrial centers.

Similarly, God’s supreme power is transmitted through the extension of His Spirit, i.e. the Holy Spirit to individuals,[John 14:16-18, & 26] groups, and places, events, [Acts 2:1-11, 38-42, 8:26-39] and things, and  everywhere. [Acts 2:14-21] For example, in the case of the virgin Mary, He transmitted His power through the Holy Ghost, and “that holy thing that was born of her was called the Son of God.” [Luke 1:35] Amen.

Again, Mary empowered by the Holy Ghost involuntarily transmitted the power of God through Him (the Holy Ghost) to her cousin Elizabeth, who conceived in the month of TISHRI, that is, September-October, in either A.D. 4, or A.D.6, when she visited her home in Judea, in ADAR , this is, February-March, and saluted her. It is written:

“And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a City of Judah; and entered into the house of Zechariah, and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass that, that, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.” [Luke 1:39-41]

Beloved, how true is the saying, “Like things begat like things.”

Again, another demonstration of the power of God the Father of all, through his continuing Spirit, the paraclete, was in the Time of Reformation i.e. A.D.33 when Christ became: “An High Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hangs, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.” [Hebrews 9:11-12] Let us give Yahweh the Highest, praise, Hallelujah.

As a Generating Station which transmits its power through its transmission System to load centers…, the power of Yahweh is transmitted through the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit to individuals and groups and everywhere throughout the worlds. For example, in A.D. 33 on the day of Pentecost, the power of Yahweh was demonstrated in no little way when the Disciples “were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them tongues like of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” [Acts 2:1-4]  

My brief Comment

Finally, the power generated at the Station is the same power that is transmitted to Storage Centers, and thence to a wide range from domestic to industrial outlets through appropriate transformers and other devices. Similarly, God is the source of supernatural power which overshadows the object upon which the Holy Ghost, or the continuation of His Spirit, comes upon. [Luke 1:35] And since God the Father is a Spirit Person, (in the sense that, as a person He has a mind, and a will, also He thinks and feels, and reasons for Himself etc.,) and His extension, namely, the Spirit, this is, the Holy Spirit and Comforter which dwells in the Believer demonstrates similar attributes as God the Father, then the Holy Spirit is the one and same Spirit of God the Father. Therefore, instead of three distinct Spirit persons in the nature of God, there are only two (2) distinct Spirit Persons in His nature, that is, God the Father Himself and the Word; and the reason why this is so is because the Holy Spirit is an extension of God’s Spirit. He is the one and same Spirit of God the Father of all.

Beloved, Digest and be Blessed, in Jesus’ name.  It is written, “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling: One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” [Ephesians 4:4-5]  This is the Word of God.

May Yahweh richly bless you and your household, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
