John 1:1
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
Who is GOD?
What are His Names?
How is He worshiped?
Here's where SPIRIT led us.
We thought we'd do a collage.

Psalm 103:1
King James Version
103 Bless the Lord,
O my soul:
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name.

Plenty -- through these verses:

high and lifted up,
and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims:
each one had six wings;
with twain he covered his face,
and with twain he covered his feet,
and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another,
and said,
Holy, holy, holy,
is the Lord of hosts:
the whole earth is full of his glory.
Isaiah 57:15

to revive the spirit of the humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
1 Peter 1:15-16

six wings about him;

saying,
Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
which was,
and is,
and is to come.
This article sprung from a previous article SPIRIT and I wrote moments ago, "SPIRIT-filled ministers".
Wherein all our efforts as ministers, teachers, and servants, must be towards GOD's GLORY alone.
Something man so often forgets.
No thanks to the enemy.
But a born again knows.
And remembers.

King James Version
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired
and searched diligently,
who prophesied of the grace
that should come unto you:
GOD doesn't play favorites.
All are according to His GRACE and MERCY.
Scripture testifies of it.
Here's proof.
GOD did not spare His SON, JESUS.
Romans 8:32
King James Version
32 He that spared not his own Son,
but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
GOD did not spare His chosen nation, ISRAEL.
Romans 11:21
King James Version
21 For if God spared not the natural branches,
take heed lest he also spare not thee.
GOD did not spare His CREATION, save Noah and family.
Genesis 7:21-24
King James Version
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth,
both of fowl,
and of cattle,
and of beast,
and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth,
and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life,
of all that was in the dry land,
died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed
which was upon the face of the ground,
both man,
and cattle,
and the creeping things,
and the fowl of the heaven;
and they were destroyed from the earth:
and Noah only remained alive,
and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth
an hundred and fifty days.
If GOD doesn't spare those He love, how can any be spared?
Only by believing JESUS, can we be saved.
Acts 4:12
King James Version
12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.
Only by believing in JESUS, can we have eternal life.
John 3:16
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
Only THROUGH His SON, JESUS, can we do anything.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine,
ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me,
and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
That's why GOD commands we listen to JESUS.
Matthew 17:5
King James Version
5 While he yet spake,
behold,
a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud,
which said,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased;
hear ye him.
As we should, for JESUS was given all of GOD's POWER.
Matthew 28:18
King James Version
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying,
All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth.

whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

A true born again recognizes only one king.
The Lord JESUS.
Here are verses that testify of His Lordship, and Kingship:
Deuteronomy 10:17
King James Version
17 For the Lord your God is God of gods,
and Lord of lords,
a great God, a mighty, and a terrible,
which regardeth not persons,
nor taketh reward:

King James Version

for his mercy endureth for ever.
Isaiah 9:6-7
King James Version
6 For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace
there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom,
to order it,
and to establish it with judgment and with justice
from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
1 Timothy 6:15-16
King James Version
15 Which in his times he shall shew,
who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings,
and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality,
dwelling in the light
which no man can approach unto;
whom no man hath seen,
nor can see:
to whom be honour
and power everlasting.
Amen.
Revelation 1:5
King James Version
5 And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins
in his own blood,
Revelation 17:14
King James Version
14 These shall make war with the Lamb,
and the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords,
and King of kings:
and they that are with him are called,
and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 19:11-16
King James Version
11 And I saw heaven opened,
and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire,
and on his head were many crowns;
and he had a name written,
that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen,
white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations:
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron:
and he treadeth the winepress
of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture
and on his thigh a name written,
King Of Kings,
And Lord Of Lords.

The angels tell the women:
Luke 24:6
King James Version
6 He is not here,
but is risen:
remember how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,
Shall we allow our finite minds, to be blown by the magnificence of what we will learn here today?
Such as the fact that Jesus was raised by God, Himself, and the Holy Spirit?
Is such a thing possible?
Watch what Scripture has to say:
GOD raised Jesus from the dead.
John 5:26
King James Version
26 For as the Father hath life in himself;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Acts 2:22-24
King James Version
22 Ye men of Israel,
hear these words;
Jesus of Nazareth,
a man approved of God among you
by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you,
as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him,
being delivered by the determinate counsel
and foreknowledge of God,
ye have taken,
and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up,
having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible
that he should be holden of it.
Romans 6:4
King James Version
4 Therefore we are buried with him
by baptism into death:
that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead
by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Galatians 1:1
King James Version
1 Paul, an apostle,
(not of men,
neither by man,
but by Jesus Christ,
and God the Father,
who raised him from the dead;)
Romans 10:9
King James Version
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
JESUS raised Himself from the dead.
John 2:18-22
King James Version
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him,
What sign shewest thou unto us,
seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple,
and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews,
Forty and six years was this temple in building,
and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead,
his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them;
and they believed the scripture,
and the word which Jesus had said.
John 10:17-18
King James Version
17 Therefore doth my Father love me,
because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me,
but I lay it down of myself.
I have power to lay it down,
and I have power to take it again.
This commandment have I received of my Father.
The HOLY SPIRIT raised Jesus from the dead.
1 Peter 3:18
King James Version
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins,
the just for the unjust,
that he might bring us to God,
being put to death in the flesh,
but quickened by the Spirit:
Romans 8:11
King James Version
11 But if the Spirit of him
that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead
shall also quicken your mortal bodies
by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Preposterous?
Does that blow all concept of what you can possibly imagine?
But it is truth, for apostle John testifies of the existence of the TRIUNE GOD:
1 John 5:7
King James Version
7 For there are three
that bear record in heaven,
the Father,
the Word,
and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.

The GRAVE Disservice TRANSFORMED
More LESSONS on the RESURRECTION
Updated 2 April 2023
A very strange thing happened last night as I was reading chapters on 1 Samuel, and got to an intriguing verse from God:
1 Samuel 3:11
King James Version
11 And the Lord said to Samuel,
Behold,
I will do a thing in Israel,
at which both the ears of every one
that heareth it shall tingle.
I wondered what that could be, so I continued reading:
1 Samuel 3:12-13 (KJV)
12 In that day I will perform against Eli
all things which I have spoken concerning his house:
when I begin,
I will also make an end.
Wow!
Only God can make such a statement, and MEAN it.
And I wondered what caused God to anger:
1 Samuel 3:13 (KJV)
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever
for the iniquity which he knoweth;
because his sons made themselves vile,
and he restrained them not.
And then, I learned of this:
1 Samuel 4:2-11 (KJV)
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel:
and when they joined battle,
Israel was smitten before the Philistines:
and they slew of the army in the field
about four thousand men.
3 And when the people were come into the camp,
the elders of Israel said,
Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines?
Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord
out of Shiloh unto us,
that, when it cometh among us,
it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh,
that they might bring from thence
the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts,
which dwelleth between the cherubims:
and the two sons of Eli,
Hophni and Phinehas,
were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord
came into the camp,
all Israel shouted with a great shout,
so that the earth rang again.
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout,
they said,
What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?
And they understood that the ark of the Lord
was come into the camp.
7 And the Philistines were afraid,
for they said,
God is come into the camp.
And they said,
Woe unto us!
for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
8 Woe unto us!
who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods?
these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians
with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9 Be strong and quit yourselves like men,
O ye Philistines,
that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews,
as they have been to you:
quit yourselves like men,
and fight.
10 And the Philistines fought,
and Israel was smitten,
and they fled every man into his tent:
and there was a very great slaughter;
for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 And the ark of God was taken;
and the two sons of Eli,
Hophni and Phinehas,
were slain.
As I read more into the account of how the ark of God was taken, and the significance of it, I noticed the sky was "rumbling".
Actually, it had been rumbling for sometime since I'd been reading 1 Samuel.
A deep, steady rumble, almost like a HUGE plane traveling the skies, but it seemed long, and steady.
I looked out my window into the night sky, and saw flashes of light from the sky, quiet bolts of lightning springing everywhere -- the sky periodically illuminated from above -- for a full hour.
I called a relative to witness it, and she became afraid.
I had never heard that sound before.
A long, sustained sound.
As if God was gathering His forces, for an opportune time.
It was too strange not to pay attention to.
I live in a country where half of the year is sunny, the other half rainy.
And yes, it's only January.
We don't have these deep rumblings in January.
Storm season is still months from now.
And this much I can attest to you.
What I experienced last night, as I read about the seizing of the ark of God, was like no other.
I truly FELT God's POWER!
He was definitely making a statement.
Of His MIGHT, POWER, and RESTRAINT.
Oh yes, for it felt like He was "restraining" something.
As I watched, I wondered if JESUS was about to return, gathering the dead, and letting His faithful come up to meet Him in the sky.
It was a thought, and I waited, for I remembered the verses:
Acts 1:10-11 (KJV)
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
behold,
two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said,
Ye men of Galilee,
why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus,
which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come in like manner
as ye have seen him go into heaven.
After an hour of such deep rumblings, the rain fell.
This morning, the sky was overcast, and more rain fell.
With snow blanketing sands in the Sahara, the mist over Dubai, volcanoes and earthquakes acting up in my country, and a world gone mad, I certainly knew what I ought to do, or do more of.
Get even closer to the LORD, and continue studying SCRIPTURE, making sure I got His WORD right.
Which I share with you -- prompts and discoveries -- every chance the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD inspires me to.
It is really TIME to GET RIGHT with the LORD now.
What's stopping you?
There is certainly no time to waste, for JESUS can come any time -- this time, as a man of war, as the LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS.
