It is called Hanukkah. -The shew bread are two stacks of bread on a table. -The Hanukkah shines light on the shrew bread represents the Holy Spirit shining light on the word of God and helping us understand it.

There is only 1 God...but God has 3 persons... The Trinity Series There is only 1 God but He has 3 persons. You probably have heard this many times before, but how many of us actually fully understand this? People accept it, and say they can't understand it, that it is over our heads and only God can understand. But God has been revealing to people who He is, and this series will help us to understand the way God designed us, how He operates and who He is. There is only 1 God...but God has 3 persons...
God Father & Holy Spirit and Son -Hebrew4:12 -1 Thessalonians5:23 -God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. -We have a Soul, Spirit and Body -We have three parts and God has three parts. -We were made in the image of God. -We have body, Spirit, and Soul. -Spirit represent Father, Soul represents for the Holy Spirit, and the body represents Jesus. -Father is the Root, planner, invisible (Father is the architect, designer, controller, light, life, love, glory, majestic, unapproachable light, holiness, fire. -You cannot come to the father nor see Him.

He is submissive and obedient in redemption plan, to the father. Eternal Word, mediator between God and Men. -He is the Intercessor, Advocator, The God Man. Union between divine nature and human nature.) -The Holy Spirit is the 3rd person. Inspirer, revealer, illuminator if the world. Communicator, Teacher, Sanctification Power. Fruit if the Holy Spirit. Mother Character. Symbol if the Holy Spirit is river, rain. Fruit, oil, fire, wind, dive, seal, gift. -The Holy Spirit you cannot see. -All if them are equal to each other. -The World has 6000 years of human history -Vietnam and the surrounding countries have 4000 years -China and the rest of the world has 5000 years -Jews they have 6000 years of history. -According to the Bible we split the 6000. Years into 3 parts -The first 2000 years were the time of Fathers. (4000b.c. - 2000b.c.) -Focused on Fathers. - from Adam to Abraham -the next 2000 years, from Isaac to Jesus. Was the Focused on Sons. (2000b.c. - 0a.d..) -The last 2000 years are focused on the Holy Spirit. (0a.d. - 2000a.d.) -Started from Jesus resurrection to our present day. - if God does not reveal Himself, we cannot know God.
- my bird, used to be afraid of me but when I fed it, the bird started to trust me, he knew that I had no intention of hurting him. - God is too big to understand without showing Himself to us. - there are 2 revelations that God has given us: Special revelation and General revelation - General revelation is for everyone -believers and non believers. - 1)and we see it in creation -psalm 19:1-4 - a car reflects its creator. Like a car. - the stars and heavens show God - we see God through His creation -Romans1:18-22 -2)God gave us a conscience to know what is right and wrong. - 3) history -Special revelation, - 1) revelation of God in miracles - 2) revelation through prophecies - 3) revelation of God in Jesus Christ -Colossians 1 :15 -John1:1,14 -Hebrews 1:1-3 Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God to man because He himself is God. - 4) revelation of God through Scripture. The bible was inspired and recorded by the Holy Spirit but was written down by the prophets. 2 Peter 1:20-21 -5) revelation by personal experience. - Abraham's, Enoch's, Noah's, Joseph, Moses', Joshua's, David's', Elijah's, Paul's, Peter's, 12 disciples, pastors', and us. -God reveals to us so we can have more faith. -God wants us to experience his power, healing, presence, in order to have a stronger faith. - He reveals himself to us because He loves us, and wants us to have a relationship with Him. "God Is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth" - John 4:24 We are flesh and bones, physical beings, so our world is the physical world. We cannot see the spiritual world with our physical eyes. But just because we might not be able to see in the spiritual world doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In reality the spiritual world is more real than the physical world.
To help understand how this all works, let us look at the air. You can’t see air, but it is very real and very necessary to live. When the air is not “moving” we can’t see, or feel it, but we know it is there because we would die without it. When the air moves it is called wind. And when the wind moves we can see the results and effects from it, even though we still can’t see it. God is a spirit being. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is God, and God is Spirit. We can see Jesus but that is because He came in physical human form to die for us. So we cannot physically see God with our physical eyes. There are both evil and good spirit, evil spirits being for the devil and good spirits from God. Evil spirits are at work in the world also, and when they come, fear, death, sickness, disease, hopelessness, shame, pride, hate, etc. comes in. But when God moves or when evil spirits are at work in the world we can see physically the effect and results, but we cannot see them actually doing it. When the wind blows, the trees start swaying, things all of a sudden blow away… Just like that when God moves we see love and peace come upon people and when He moves, people can start crying or laughing and when He moves, people can start falling because God is at work on their hearts. When God moves, it changes people’s attitudes and lives, and hearts. When God moves, people get healed, people get delivered, people get joy, happiness, peace, and people get saved. You can't use you physical senses to see God but you can see its effects, like the sick getting healed, people’s attitudes changing. Jesus, God the Son, came in human form to show us God. He came physically to show us physically about Himself. In the Bible, Jesus said “If you see Me, you see the Father also.” John 14:7-11 (Paraphrased) An example in the Bible there was a women at the well who was fearful, alone and ashamed; but Jesus came and He brought forgiveness to her, and hope, and touched her heart. And she wasn't afraid or ashamed anymore but went and told all the people in the village about God and His forgiveness. Another example in the Bible was Zacchaeus, He was a cheating Tax-collector but he repaid the people he cheated when Jesus came into his life and changed his heart. He even gave half if his possession to the poor. So God is spirit, and we cannot see Him with our physical eyes. We are also spiritual beings but we live in a physical body in a physical world, and that limits us to seeing in the physical world. We can however ask God to open our eyes to see the spiritual world, and see what He wants to reveal to us. When God moves, great and amazing, wonderful things start to happen. Verses To Read Connecting with This Message: - John 3:5-8 - John 4:23-24 "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." - 1 John 1:5-7
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." - John 10:10 Love never steals, kills, and destroys. God, who is love, comes to give us life and life everlasting, and over flowing. Love will uplift people and when we have love we have God's light. When you know your parents loves you, you are confident but when you don't know that people around you loves you, you live in fear "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." - Psalm 23:4 'I fear not because God is with me. His love will stick by me. He is on our side and is with us always.' When you are angry we do not think clearly and so we are in darkness. The devil has no love and is full of hate and lies, so he is filled with darkness, but God is Truth, and with truth is light. Many people live in fear because they don't know or believe their parents love them. Years ago when the berlin wall in Germany fell, and communism there lost its power. There were estimated a few thousand orphans because of the war. These children didn't have anyone to take care of them and so America, England, and some Ally countries adopted many of these children. But none of those children lived over the age of 25. They joined street gangs and broke the law rebelled against their authorities and joined different gangs and were in trouble with the law, doing drugs, and illegal things. They did bad things because they didn't feel loved. They didn't know people loved them. They had gotten hurt on the past and so their mindset was that those people didn't really love them and only wanted to take advantage of them. Even if our families forsake us but God will never forsake you. If we don't feel loved we cannot live a good life. Love gives us confidence and security and peace. And perfect love cast out all fear. When you walk in love, you walk in life, because fear torments you and causes you to live in darkness. The devil causes us to doubt God's love and that causes fear to come in and then sin comes in and they walk in darkness. Sin, curses, and death came in by the sin of the first Adam, and all people have to die and live in the curse. But now by the second and last Adam, Jesus, we don't have to die, and all people can have life if they believe in Jesus. Some people don't have life cause they don't have God's love. When Jesus died on the cross he demonstrated God's life and whoever believes will have life. Love, life, and light all works together; in love we have life, and life has light. "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”- John 8:12 God who is perfect love cast out all fear, which lets us life in the light. When we walk in love we walk in life because when fear torments us, it causes us to live in darkness. The devil causes us to doubt God's love and that causes fear to come in, and then sin comes in and that causes us to walk in darkness. Curses and death come in by sin, which is disobedience. And by the sin of the first Adam all people have to die. But now by the second Adam and last Adam, who is Jesus, we don't have to die. All people can have life if they believe in Jesus. Some people don't have life and walk in darkness because they don't have God’s love. When Jesus died on the cross he demonstrated God's life and whoever believes in Him will have life. When God made Adam and Eve they had life, love, protection, providence, glory, peace, authority, and wisdom. God gave him dominance over everything. He named all the animals and remembered them. He had perfect memory and he had glory and wisdom and security. All the creatures of the earth listened and obeyed Adam. But when Adam and Ever listened and believed the lies of satan, they lost everything. Destruction came into their lives, they lost peace, and their relationship with God. They walked in darkness and felt lonely and condemnation and felt guilty and unworthy and were ashamed. Poverty came in and destruction, curses, division in family (Cain and Abele), and they lost their authority that God gave them. When they sinned they immediately hid themselves and were ashamed and fearful. When you have a relationship with God you have light and life. Through receiving Jesus and repentance you can have a restored relationship with God, and anyone who believes in Jesus will become God's sons & daughters. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name" - John1:12 Adam had to sweat and work hard to provide for himself and his family and the land was cursed cause he sinned, but Jesus came and by dying on the cross and being the substitution for us he took away all that and brought us back the love of God and the life of God and Light of God. When we listen to the devil fear comes into our lives. But when we obey God we have life, joy, peace, acceptance, security, and love. Draw near to God, and you will have joy, peace, and love in your life. Today many people are famous like actors and singers and they have lots of fans and money and we think they have everything but they have immense fear, because they have to strive so that they don't lose their fans and supporters. They are afraid and constantly live in fear of rejection and loss of fame, and even though they have power, fame and money a lot of times they live in immense fear. They live in fear of not being popular anymore, so they try to hide parts of them that might ruin their career, and so they live in the darkness because of fear. Prayer: Thank you father that you are the source of life and love and truth and you are the light that shines through darkness and your life conquers over death, your light conquers over darkness, your love conquers over hate. Through Jesus we can receive light, life, love and peace and hope. We want to love you and be close to you every day. We invite you into our lives. Help us walk with you all the time. Amen. Who Is God?....God Is Light! "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." - 1 John 1:5-7 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

Through Jesus we can receive light, life, love and peace and hope. We want to love you and be close to you every day. We invite you into our lives. Help us walk with you all the time. Amen. God is a God of love. Love is who He is. He will never hurt us, or harm us. God gave us gifts and abilities but we have to ask and believe in order to receive. Jesus didn't die just so you could be in heaven, but He died so you can have an abundance of life here on earth, and also live forever in heaven, with Him. God loved us so much that He died for us, and it cost Him EVERYTHING. He could've killed us off, or just leave us to fend for ourselves and start a whole new world with people who He could make love Him, with just a snap of His finger. But instead He chose to redeem us, and give us a free will to choose to believe or to not believe in Him. He loves us that much! Jesus gave up Heaven, His home, power, comfort, and His kingdom to come to earth in a form of a human to die a painful death for us. Following God does not mean pain, suffering and boring lives, with no happiness. To believe and follow God is to have joy, hope, love, good health, prosperity and every good thing. God does not ever bring anything bad upon the ones He loves. We have to know, though, who we are in Christ, how much He loves us, and receive what He has given to us, and apply it to our daily lives. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” When we believe in Jesus, and become followers of Christ Jesus, our names are written in the book of life! Meaning we get to go to heaven and be with God. God also gives us authority, and power, from Him, to fight against the devil and evil forces. The devil has more power than us, but God is a lot more powerful then satan. And as children of God, He gives us the victory over them. The world, and every person on earth has sin, because of Adam’s sin, because Adam is the father of all human beings on earth, and his sin passes down to us, kind of like DNA passes down from parent to children. When Jesus died he paid for all the sins of the world, and if we believe in Jesus, then we get the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Sin gives the devil power over us, but by believing on what Jesus did for us on the cross, We can use the authority God gives to us, to defeat and trample on the devil. The bible might be 2000 years old but the bible is still true today. Like The sun is thousands of years old but it is still hot, just because its old does not mean it isn't hot or it isn't still applicable to our daily lives, and the air is thousands of years old but we still have air, and we still need air . Some people get hurt and have lots of bad things in their lives because they don't follow God's will, or they don't believe in what God has already given to them. God has given YOU authority over satan, USE IT! Last note to remember: if God tells you to go somewhere or do something but you do not follow His will, you are disobeying Him, and you are walking out of His protection, and that will let the devil attack you. God will never hurt you. But if you walk away from God, then that gives the devil the right to attack you. John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and that they may have it moreabundantly.” Our life, here on earth, has a purpose and a destiny that God has given to each and every one of us. God has set us on this earth, at this point in time, for a reason. He has given us each a goal and purpose to fulfill. Our lives are for God, because He made us for His purpose.
"Before I (God) made you in the womb, I already knew you; Before you were born I set you apart, I called You to My calling...” - Jeremiah 1:4-5 (My Paraphrase) "Do not be ashamed of Christ and the gospel...For He has saved us and called us to a holy calling...according to His purpose...that He has given to us before the beginning of time." - 2 Timothy 1:8-9 (Paraphrase) We are never too young to step out and begin fulfilling our God given destiny! As a young believer in Christ Jesus we are to: "Let no one despise our youth, but be an example to other believers in what we say, in our actions, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity." - 1 Timothy 4:12-13 (Paraphrase) "Do not say 'I am a youth,' For you will go to everyone that I (God) send you to, and whatever I command you to speak, you will speak. And do not be afraid of them, for I, God, will be with you, to help you." - Jeremiah 1:7-8 (My Paraphrase) We are now living in the end times, God is coming soon, and He does not want anyone to go to hell. God wants everyone to believe in Him, and have a relationship with Him. This is a wonderful time to be alive. And it is a great privilege for us to be able to live in these times. For God promised us that: "In the last days, I (God) will pour out My Spirit (Holy Spirit) on all flesh (people), and from the young to the old, they will all prophesy, see visions, dream dreams. And I (God) will show wonders in heaven above, and the earth beneath...Before the great and coming day of the Lord, and anyone who calls on the name of the Lord, Jesus, they will be saved!" - Joel 2:28-32 (Paraphrase) As a Christian, we are to do what Jesus, God, tells us to do. He didn't just save us just so that when we die we can go to heaven. But He saved us so we can have a relationship with Him, and so that we can be all that He made us to be. We all have an individual calling from God. You are called to a special calling that only you can fulfill, but we all have the same end goal. "All authority has been given to Me (Jesus) in heaven and on earth. So go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. And baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit; and teach them to do all that I tell you to. But for those who do not believe, they will be condemned. And for all those who believe, I will send signs and wonders, that through Me, and by Me, they will cast out demons, speak in new tongues, heal the sick, and nothing can hurt or harm them. For I, Jesus, am with you even to the end.” - Mathew 28:18-20 & - Mark 16:15-18 (My Paraphrase) We have a Purpose. We have a Calling. We have a Destiny. We Have a Mission. It is time to Live It Out! 1. Ask God to reveal His plans for you 2. Listen and have faith to believe in His call for your life (because His call is always better and crazier than you can ever imagine, which means His call can sound crazy) 3. Step out in faith, and receive your calling / mission (Warning: Your full destiny won’t automatically be fulfilled immediately. You have to have faith, and perseverance, and keep walking with God. Because God’s calling for you is a whole life calling, here on earth. It is not something you can complete in a few days, months, years, or even decades. It is a whole life adventure!) 4. Live out the calling! Obey God’s word, and everything He tells you. Keep growing in your spiritual walk with God. Strengthen and grow closer in your relationship with God. Our life is an ongoing adventure and relationship with Jesus. Our life is for God and God’s perfect & eternal Kingdom. The things of this earth will fade away. We will one day die. But the kingdom of God and all God’s children (us) will live forever and ever with Him. So often times we focus on the power, miracles, and healings of Jesus; that we forget the greatest gift given to man. We are excited about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the anointing and the prosperity. We want to have abundance, blessing, and favour, and live a good and prosperous life on earth that we forget about the best and most precious blessing. We forget the greatest most important point of following God. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not have to die and perish forever in hell, but so that we can live for eternity with Jesus in heaven. Hell is a terrible and hideous place; it is full of pain and horror that never ends. Hell is a place of torment where there is no hope, no life, no joy, and no peace. It is constant and continual torment. Hell is a place of fire and brimstone, and a place of never ending torture and pain. There is no escape, no relief, no ending; people hang on crosses, burning, and screaming out in pain; demons torture and flames consume; the most unimaginable pain and hopelessness, full of darkness and scorching heat. This is what Jesus came to rescue us from!!! This is why Jesus came, so we did not have to endure such a thing. And we have forgotten to an extent the significance of this very precious gift. Oh, how much God loves us!!! If only the world knew! If only the world knew of this precious and priceless gift! It’s unimaginable!!!
The church is so busy condemning the world when God came to not condemn but to save!!! John 3:16 clearly states: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” If only, us, the Church, the believers of God would stop pointing out the sin in people, and start showing people how great God’s love is for them. Jesus loves us so much! He came to die for us because if He did not then everyone of us would die and eternally burn in Hell. God’s love for us was so great, and He saw that we only live here on earth for 100 years but then when we die we don’t cease to exist, no, we instead would die forever in Hell, not being able to escape never ending pain and torture. God wants the world to know what He did for them; His great endless and unconditional love for them. We need to live in love, God’s love. We need to live the way Jesus did, in compassion and love. And tell the people around us that Jesus died to save them from eternity in hell. Jesus died to rescue us out of unimaginable, never-ending pain. He loves us that much! The greatest gift ever given, and that will ever be given, is the death of Jesus on the cross for us, how He died a pain filled death that He did not deserve so that we could live forever with Him in Paradise….If only we believed….If only the world knew such an amazing gift of God!!! “Thank You Daddy God for your great love for me! Thank You, for dying for me, and taking my place, my sin, so that I did not have to go to hell; but I can now live with you forever in Heaven. Thank You for the great price that You paid so that I could have a free but priceless gift. Thank You for coming into this world for me. I pray, Father God, that I will not forget all that You did for me, and that I will remember the cost and the sacrifice that You bore so that I could know You. I want to know You, love You, and walk with You, God. Thank You for dying for me!” Shalom, and let the love of God consume and change your life, R. |
