Depending on what sect of our Christian faith we hail from, we find discrepancies in our belief of who God is.
Some preach mostly on God, the Father, lending to OT times and almost depriving mankind of the grace sent through the Son, Jesus.
Others lean on all things through Christ now and make it a matter of habit to toss out OT lessons and stories rendering the Son without the Father.
On another side of the coin is the lack of equality given to God, the Holy Spirit, who was sent to us upon the ascension of Christ Jesus as He went to sit at the right hand of the Father. Many are missing the beauty of the wonderful counselor and comforter, today. The very breath of God that blows from heart-to-heart has been stricken silent.
We must return to the fullness of truth in that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the marvelous and unsearchable fullness of the Godhead.
One is never without the other and every heart cry from Genesis to Revelation is significant to any believer to understand His heart, His ways, and even His inner workings.
We have built entire theologies on single verses instead of the prophetic vision offered from cover to cover. May we come up higher and look fully at His face.
This leads us into such deception very often. Oppression and sin rule. Complacency reigns. Lukewarmness levels the church of Jesus Christ, and man once again does as he wishes.
The same God that rose against nations in rebellion against holiness, lives today. He was in the beginning, and He will be in the end. He has never disappeared. He still opposes idolatry and greed. Partiality and pride. Unholy altars and spiritual adultery.
The Christ who bore our sin and shame to offer a perfect love and a way off of the highway to Hell still intercedes for you and me today that we might receive His gift of salvation. He was the bridge to the Father. Both still exist as one, with the Spirit.
The Father is drawing, the Son is interceding, the Spirit is wooing mankind at all times.
The same Spirit of God that hovered over the waters in Genesis now resides not in temples made by human hands but in human vessels wholly given over to Him. He must be given His rightful place within our hearts and churches today. He is who offers the very empowerment necessary to do Kingdom work and defeat kingdoms of darkness.
Any bent in one extreme to another robs us of the full counsel of the Word of God and His nature towards us, His heart towards sin, and His many ways of speaking to us regarding His plans for our lives.
Let us ask Him, today, where we have felt 100% right like those infamous pharisees and Sadducees, yet Christ Jesus has deemed us 100% in error.
It should be a great and awesome fear of ours before God that we might hang our hat on a matter that He has not actually been in agreement with.
Oh, Lord, help us, today! Reveal hidden error in our hearts whereby we may lead others astray and leave your sheep discouraged, defeated, and dismayed. Help us see where we have sorely misrepresented you and your heart.
Forgive us, O God, where we have placed words in your mouth that you never meant. Words that have harmed your kingdom work and the precious hearts you’ve entrusted to us.
May we desire more to be in your rightful ways-rather than our own.
May we know your fullness in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The beautiful and awesome Godhead, 3 in 1.
