Knowing God is the most wonderful thing we can have to
ourselves. It is best for us to draw knowledge from his Deity that we may know
how to strengthen the faith that we possess. It is our duty to defend our
doctrine and restore to ourselves the vibrancy that saints possess that we may
know what we live for, and for whom do we exist.

 

That’s
why it is also our duty to know the nature of our God and his existence, not
only that we may obtain knowledge about Him but also that we may live for that
purpose that we are of God. Like the way God referred Jesus as His Son, we are
also God’s children. But he commends Jesus in a very special way being his own
blood as He says, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased (Mark
1:11).”

 

God
is proud of his Son, he having compassion and care for him cannot help but
introduce Jesus to others as he has His might with the voice being audible to
Peter, James and John. In a high mountain, in the eyes of the three, Jesus was
transfigured before them as his face shone like the sun and his clothes become
white as light, and also Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with
Jesus (Matthew 17:2-3).

 

Peter
was amazed and can’t help but say: Lord, it is good that we are here, that if
you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses and one for
Elijah. Yet the Father cannot help but acknowledge the Man by his own blood
which is the blood of the Holy Ghost, for as yet Peter was still speaking, a
bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the clouds came a voice that
said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased: listen to him
(Matthew 17:4-5).” They having heard that strange voice were bewildered and
felt fear in their hearts.

 

The
voice is audible enough apart from Jesus who was in glaring white while visibly
standing in the mountain. Likewise, though the voice that addresses Jesus is
not far, it clearly flourish that it is the voice of another Deity that is the
Creator they having separate purpose. The Father also, as Jesus feels awesome
of Him thinks, that in his mind and heart He is proud to speak of his Son and
can’t help but introduce Jesus being of himself a Son, and was intimately close
speaking nearly though not fused into one manifestation as it is clearly shown
in the New Testament.

 

The
Father saying to Jesus “This is!” does not make them one form for the former is
rightly located above even a spirit that is to our understanding was speaking
behind the illumined white cloud and this Father is not the Son himself though
they may have the same name.

 

In
accordance with this, there, both their presence are regarded individually,
though being omnipresent which one God can be present in all things, the Father
and the Son are separately manifested, but they who existed in separate persons
are undivided making them One God unified being omnipresent still having sole
dominion of all things though reflected as two effects is believed to be one,
and no one can contest that truth as seemingly a woman rattling in tongues, was
proud to witness proclaiming at the prompting of the Holy Spirit before my eyes
in a Charismatic meeting saying, “Blessed, blessed, One God!” That truth can be
affirmed echoed by the Seraphim and Cherubim and all the angels in heaven for
that is the sole truth among the plenty of Christian faith explanations.

 

My
Father and I are of one accord (John 10:30), was the declaration from Jesus
himself, they having one mind, one heart though unified are undivided for they
possess one Divinity and has the sole name for them all: “Jesus”. From Jesus
was heard the declaration as Jesus said to Mary of Magdala, “Stop holding on to
me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell
them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’

 

This
clearly states that the Son has his Father as his God, which proves correct the
scripture, ‘The Lord said to my Lord’. This also proves that the Father is not
a Son himself but that Jesus and the Father with the Holy Ghost as their spirit
where they share in one spirit form the undivided unity of the Triune God. The
Trinity shares the same omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, having one
power, one knowledge, and one existence being eternal. They are co-creator,
co-existent, and co-eternal.

 

The
Spirit is eternal being Holy, Jesus is eternal for he is the true God and
eternal life, and the Father is unquestionably eternal as the Creator where
Jesus is also a creator. The Holy Spirit is not a human being or any other
spirit much more not one of the seven spirits in heaven or is an angel, but is
a God, whom Ananias became a liar against Him. Sonship of Jesus is not eternal,
but Jesus being the Man-God is eternal for he though divine possesses flesh and
bones making him both God and Man.

 

In
the same way that the prophets think with the mind of God, we can also become
in one accord with God where God in the same way is manifested in flesh, as we
also become one with Him.

To the power of the Lord, there is no limit. He possesses great strength and capability. That’s why he as God is omnipotent, meaning there is no limit to his potency and dominion. He holds everything, even the earth by his hand and control all things, permits things to happen and if he allows, he can limit certain things.

God also knows all, has full cognizance and erudition of everything. He is knowledgeable of everything and you cannot hide anything from him that’s why he is all and in all and has the key to the secrets of truth. He knows you before you were born and call you by your name. You cannot conceal anything from him for he is omniscient being all knowing or has full knowledge of everything.

With full occurrence, God also exist even before all things are created. He opened the gates of heaven and commanded light and gives the vitality to living creatures. He invigorates the weakling and gives strength to the spirit. He renews every recess and makes people vivacious and spirited, lively and restored to health. He exists in all and renews every strength and has full control of life and restores everyone by his will, that’s why he is omnipresent being eternal.

With all these attributes of God, he becomes the lover of people even those who are sinful as he has loved his Son and enjoys the presence of His spirit hovering in the face of the waters in the creation and in the right time was manifested in human form giving birth to Christ. He loves His only begotten Son Jesus who lives by His spirit, which is the Holy Ghost.

As a master planner God lives in the image of his creation. In Genesis 1:26-27 it says, ‘Then God said, “Let us make man in our image after our own likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground.” So God created man in his image; in his divine image he created him; male and female he created them.’

So even man in the very beginning possesses divine existence before they sinned and came short of the glory of God. In man’s struggle for perfection, as God becomes man, man then becomes of God and is possessed with the spirit of God who is the Holy Spirit. In Jeremiah 1:5 the Lord says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.”

Even to our bone marrow God knows us and makes us his own, and desires every good thing that we may own this, and enjoy the fruits of our labor even tolerates us to do what we want of our life praying that we may hearken his guidance and that we may return to him as we are created for such purpose since the beginning, that we may be entwined with God thinking things that are sentient and godly, and things that could make our body holy.

That’s why we need to preserve our being man, that though we know we are tempted, God gives us only the temptation that we can endure, that we may learn how to overcome it knowing to our hearts that we are sinful and by our struggle to live by our spirit, we became of the spirit and not of the flesh, that we may know even with our hearts that we belong to God.

Who do you say I am? God says unto us. And speaking to Moses from the burning bush came audible the answer to that question: “I am the God of Abraham, I am the God of Isaac, I am the God of Jacob…I AM WHO AM.” The I AM of John 8:58 is Jesus. Thus he says, “ Amen, amen, I say to you before Abraham came to be, I AM.” He is the God we desire, he is the God we want as part of us. He is our Creator. Likewise it is for his love that he gave to us his only begotten Son.

Then arises the question: How can he give to us his only begotten Son if Jesus himself is the Father? Can His self become His Son? Of course the Father is not the Son or the Holy Spirit, they being distinct from each other. But the name Jesus is both the name of the Father and the Son, even the Holy Spirit as He is the father of the Son. The name of the Father’s Son has power, as it is the power he himself possesses. The scripture says, and who knows the name of His Son? Likewise in another verse it says, “The Lord said to my Lord.” This is because the Father and Jesus share the same spirit that is the Holy Ghost. And the Father has sent Jesus and His Spirit. God being omnipresent can be present even in more than three deities yet exists as One.

As you are born that you may please God, be knowable that the Spirit can live in you through the Holy Ghost with us possessing power giving us knowledge of things. The Spirit that can live in you can grant you eternal life. If he may, he can give you all things, but it is his desire to make you humble that he may embrace you to his heart.

If you want to come to God, he is always there to accept you; if you want to return to him, long before he desires your presence. By his power you can be healed; by his strength you can possess vitality. He knows all even your deepest secrets, and he desires to make you whole. Why not come to him and enjoy his presence.

Though still a spirit with the
following incident happening in the Old Testament, what seems to be the Son of
God was manifest in human figure and stayed with Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego while they are being burned on fire. Daniel 3:91 says: King
Nebuchadnezzar rose in haste and asked his nobles, “Did we not cast three men
bound into the fire?” The nobles answered, “Assuredly, O king.”

 

King Nebuchadnezzer persisted likewise to ask even more, “But I
see four men unfettered and unhurt, walking in the fire, and the fourth looks
like a Son of God (Daniel 3:91-2).” Even at that very time in the Old
Testament, Jesus though appearing in a theophany or Christophany did appear
visible as the seemingly presence of the Son of God. This only means that he
was God apart from the Father though in their being, as Jesus and the Father
shares the same spirit, which in the New Testament the Father sent Jesus and
His Spirit, the two Deities were fused into one existence making them the One
God as mentioned in Deuteronomy 6:4.

 

By sharing in one spirit, as they also share one substance as
onward we move to the New Testament, the Father and Jesus are fused as one
appearing as one with Jesus provided of the body with whom the spirit of the
Father which is the Holy Spirit did indwelt into a clean vessel in the person
of Mary making the Spirit as the father to Jesus and making the godhead Jesus
complete with the three of these Deities manifested as one, with Christ existing
as the body which is possessed of the spirit of the Father (Isaiah 11:2).

 

With Christ being human with flesh and bones, existing as a body,
he is complete as Godhead because in him dwelling as a God to God was the
Father in spirit form. Though they are of three Divinities, they being a body
that has a spirit, this does not violate their oneness even if they are
diversified into a triune or a Trinity.

 

Also in Acts 7:55-56, Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked
up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right
hand of God, and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man
standing at the right hand of God.” Though the Father is invisible being a pure
act and a pure spirit unseen by Stephen, it was emphasized in this passage that
Jesus was with the Father making him a God beside God. God can then be one or
are distinguished apart, though this cannot divide them nor make them one
person, as God is an ‘Elohim’ or persons and not ‘El’ or one person except when
Jesus called his Father in singular form ‘El’ in his nearing death on the cross
which is in one of the last words of Jesus, it was visible that the Son was
nailed to the cross and there was this Father whom he is calling of attention
to for whom compassion is being invoked.

 

Thus God exist as a mystery in Triune, with the Father being the
presence near as a spirit indwelt or far as a Father in heaven being invoked of
compassion and mercy, with Jesus suffering in the cross while he called for his
Father above or in heaven. Likewise when Jesus died, he really died as a human
and placed in the tomb with his human spirit visiting the dead. The Father
meanwhile is still a Creator who is in heaven and did have control of the earth
and the universe.

 

It is in a matter of our own understanding, that we can see God as
one in the person of Jesus, or are manifested in Triune with each functioning
in their varied responsibilities, the Father in the Creation, the Son in
redemption, and the Spirit in His indwelling to Jesus, to the prophets, and to
us. Though we have no control in the mystery of God, we can receive revelation
every time we are filled with the Holy Spirit.

 

On my part, I cannot write sentient things unless I am cleanse
with the Holy Ghost. I have to admit that for me speaking in tongues or strange
language is important for me to be able to write religious or spiritual
matters. All through these years, I have relied on the Holy Spirit for
inspiration, wisdom and knowledge. The manifestation in tongues is of great
importance even heightened with the gift of prophecy.

 

I cannot reduce the revelation of God to my own knowledge for I
need to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit. Though His presence was
temporarily blocked as we grow up and are imputed with evil, the release of the
Holy Spirit gain momentum through confession, receiving of the Eucharist,
healing, and spiritual struggle for release through praise and worship, that we
may once more have our refreshing in the Spirit.

 

All of us can receive the Holy Ghost and all of us must strive to
receive it and if possible, it should be evidenced by speaking in tongues,
interpretation and/or prophecy. That’s why it is a must that we should attend
mass that we may reconcile ourselves with God, and that we should confess our
sins that we may be an open vessel for Holy Ghost indwelling, and more so we
should also frequently receive communion as a seal against evil possession even
against hardness of our heart. We should have refreshing every time to aflame
the Spirit that we receive.
