You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. John 5:39-40.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
There is no God but Me, I know no other, but in Me there is partnership and fellowship that draws you into our oneness in the heavenly plan of reconciling all things to Myself in My Son by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. Salvation is of Me, it is My idea to give you back all that was lost and more. And My love for you birthed out of My innermost being the Word of reconciliation before the world was formed.
If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 1 Peter 1:17-21.
As it is written by My Spirit, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.” John 1:1-4.
My Word is the innermost expression of who I am. Generating from within Me, the Word came forth, begotten by My Spirit, the expression of My very essence, the exact representation of My nature and the radiance of My goodness, My power, and My presence. And the Word became a tangible expression of Me, the Father, as My Son, the only begotten God.
My beloved John wrote by My Spirit: “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:1-3.
And by the Person of the Word of Life that generated from within Me I spoke and made everything that is made and I made all things with Him and through Him and for Him. I formed everything by My Word.
Who is Jesus? He is My image, My essence, My radiance, My exact representation, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him I created all things, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For it is My good pleasure for all My fullness to dwell in Him, and in Him to reconcile all things to Myself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven. Colossians 1:15-20. In all wisdom and insight, I have made known to you the mystery of My will of redemption, according to My kind intention which I purposed in Jesus with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. Ephesians 1:8-10.
Man pulled out from Me and went into another “god,” the devil, who empowered man to live as he did, that is, proud, foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending his life in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. And you also receive the reward of your master as his servant, and the wages of sin are sickness, death and destruction, and ultimately the second death of hell. Your shepherd became death. A culture of death. But then I sent Jesus out from My bosom, deep within Me, to seek you out, take your sins and pains and bear your judgment, cleanse you, purify you, fill you with My Spirit, and then pull you back with Him into Me, into My grace, into My divine life in you, and into My reward. In Him, it has pleased Me to give YOU the Kingdom. Your Shepherd has become the One in whom there is eternal life. A culture of abundant life to the fullest. I sent My Word to heal you and to deliver you from your destruction. Psalm 107:20.
There is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Jesus, My Word, generated from within, begotten in truth, is the way I expressed Myself to you.
I spoke long ago to the patriarchs and their descendants in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days I have spoken to you in My Son, whom I appointed heir of all things and through whom I made the world. And He is My Word so He speaks My Word and He is the exact expression of My nature so He only does My Works, but there is more. And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: He appeared in the flesh, was revealed by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory. 1 Timothy 3:16.
I am speaking here of the hidden wisdom which I predestined before the ages to your glory; all that I have prepared for those who love Me. Only My Spirit knows what is in My innermost depths, the thoughts in My heart. I reveal them to you by My Spirit, who searches all things. The Spirit testifies to Jesus. He descended upon Jesus and remained. Jesus was filled with the Spirit. My Words are Spirit and Life. Jesus spoke Spirit and Life. All was breathed forth from within Me.
My Spirit proceeds from Me and also from My Son, we are of one Spirit who is also a Person, He is breathed forth from deep within as the power in My Word. He discloses My thoughts to you. He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation 3:22. The Spirit speaks to the Body of Christ.
Jesus is My gift to you of GOD WITH YOU. In seeing Him, you see Me. In hearing Him, you hear Me. My Word became flesh and dwelt among you and you saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. At that time no one had seen Me; the only begotten God who is in My bosom, He has disclosed (revealed, explained) Me. I was in Christ reconciling you to Myself and freely bestowing My goodness, presence, and power upon all who would come to Him in faith.
And now that Jesus has returned to Me in glory and is seated at the right hand of My majesty on High, He did not leave you without GOD WITH YOU. He promised you the night when He was betrayed, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Paraclete (God with you), that He may be with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.” John 14:16-17. He will be in you! Again My Word, as breathed by My Spirit, would dwell on earth in your flesh as a sanctuary to walk among you so that you would also do My works and say My Words as Jesus had done!
And Jesus told you more, “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. But the Paraclete (One at your side, with you to counsel, comfort, guide you), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” John 14:25. And there is more, “When the Paraclete (God with you) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me and you will testify also.” John 15:26. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10.
It is all about My desire to be with you in the expression of My innermost being, to share My thoughts, life, goodness, power and presence with you. You are My family, created in My image and according to My likeness to spend forever with Me. It is not My Will that even one of you should perish. I so love the world that I give you My Son so that all who believe in Him will never perish but have eternal life. Take that lifeline and hold fast to the Word of life.
Jesus is that Word of life to you, generated from within, begotten in truth, and He is the way I revealed Myself to you. And now He reveals and expresses Himself to you by the Spirit, Christ in you, your hope of glory. God with you and in you and upon you.
The former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you. Isaiah 42:9. In the book of Psalms you will find references to both My Son and My Spirit throughout. And as we continue to search the Scriptures today harden not your hearts, only believe.
The second Psalm is rich in revelation concerning My Son, the promised Messiah– so rich that I will set forth the entire Psalm for your meditation. You will find the early community of Christians used this Psalm as a firm foundation in prayer to Me. Acts 4:23-31.
Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Messiah, saying, “Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!” Psalm 2:1-3.
I will continue on in a moment with this Psalm, but I want you to notice here that My Word speaks of My Messiah, My Anointed One. Here it is foretold that kings and rulers will oppose Me and My Messiah, the Christ. This is exactly what happened, when Jesus was on earth it was during the High Priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, Luke 3:1-2, and they, together with the Sanhedrin, Mark 4:53-65, and King Herod, Luke 23:6-17 (the Roman tetrarch of Galilee established by Tiberius Caesar) and Pontius Pilate, John 18:28-40; John 19:1-16 (the Roman governor placed over Judea), took counsel against My Messiah (and therefore against Me), and had Jesus put to death. Mark 15:1-15. Even after He rose from the dead and ascended back to Heaven to My Right Hand, as My prophet Daniel foretold, nations were in uproar and kings and rulers continued to take counsel against Me and My Messiah by persecuting, imprisoning and killing My followers. Matthew 10:16-23; Acts 4:23-31; Acts 8:1.
But the rulers and kings of nations who fight against Me and My Messiah, find that I bring the counsel of the nations to nothing; I make the plans of the peoples of no effect. Psalm 33:10. It is My counsel that stands forever, the plans of My heart to all generations. Psalm 33:11.
Now let us continue on with the second Psalm:
He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord (Adonai) scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them in His fury, saying, “But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain.” I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession.” Psalm 2:4-8.
Here I call the Messiah My Son whom I have begotten. He was indeed begotten, not made. Adam was made by Me but the very essence of the Godhead generated the Son and the Spirit. You see here too that Jesus is given the nations as His inheritance and the ends of the earth as His possession. This shows you He is One God with Me. I am the owner and maker of the earth, no other. Psalm 24:1; Psalm 89:11. But I made all things by My Word, as you know. Genesis 1; Psalm 33:6. The Word was with Me and the Word was one with Me, and all things came to be through My Word; and then, in Jesus, My Word became flesh and dwelt among you. John 1:1-14.
Now, let us continue on with the second Psalm:
“You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.” Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the LORD with reverence and rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled how blessed are all who take refuge in Him. Psalm 2:9-12.
You will note that I tell you here to do homage to the Son. You know well I would not tell you this if He were not One God with Me. That is the First Commandment I gave to Moses. Exodus 20:2-4—to worship Me alone: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5.
Are you beginning to see how very closely together the three work as one? John 8:28-30; John 5:19-24; John 16:13-15. We are One and We operate as One. Deuteronomy 6:4-5, John 10:30; John 17:10. My Son’s desire, expressed by Him to Me at the Passover Supper the night before He was crucified, was that you would be one with Us. John 17:20-24. Follow My Word in this and you will not be confused. Psalm 19:7. Prayer is addressed to Me, the Father, Matthew 6:9; John 16:23-27, but you come to Me through My Son, John 14:6, 13, and you pray to Me in His Name, John 14:13; John 16:23, so that you come before Me righteous, 2 Corinthians 5:21, and clothed in the Anointed One, Galatians 3:17, and you hear My voice within and share My deepest thoughts by My Spirit dwelling in you. 1 Corinthians 2:10-16. And there you see all three working within you as One. And we draw you into that oneness to rest in Me.
Jesus is your great High Priest who opens your way to Me. Hebrews 4:14-16. A new and living way that makes Me fully accessible to you through Him, that brings you behind the veil into the secret place of the Holy of Holies within your spirit. Hebrews 10:19-22. And into your spirit, He pours My Spirit. Acts 2:33.
I am spirit, John 4:24, and so are you. Numbers 27:16. The way we communicate is in Spirit and Truth. John 4:23. The Holy Spirit is the way I communicate with you. You must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from Me as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20-21.
And when you join yourself with Me you become one spirit with Me. 1 Corinthians 6:17. You have access to My throne, Hebrews 4:16, instant access, because we are joined together by My Holy Spirit living in you, 1 Corinthians 3:16; Romans 8:11, when you are born again as My child by receiving My Son as Lord. John 1:12; Romans 10:9-10. My Spirit knows My deepest thoughts and communicates them to you. 1 Corinthians 2:10-11. He conveys My Words, John 16:14-15, My love, Romans 5:5, My healing, Romans 8:11, My comfort, John 14:16, and My power, Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 3:20, directly into your spirit where He resides. 1 Corinthians 2:9-12; Romans 8:26. Remember that I told you long ago that the spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all the innermost parts of his being? Proverbs 20:27. He is our connection, our lifeline so to speak. He strengthens, Ezekiel 37:14; Micah 3:8; Ephesians 3:16, and guides you. Psalm 73:24; John 16:13. All who are My children are led by My Spirit. Romans 8:14.
My people, you do not realize how close you can be with Me. Isaiah 54:5; Isaiah 62:5; Genesis 2:24. My promise to you was that I would put My Spirit in you and give you a new heart. Ezekiel 36:27. My Son has caused this to come about and has poured out the Spirit from My Throne upon all mankind, Acts 2:33, just as Ezekiel, Ezekiel 36:27, and Joel, Joel 2:28, described. Now you can be My temple by My Spirit dwelling in your spirit (heart), 1 Corinthians 6:19, and we can live as one, I in you and you in Me, together for eternity, and it can begin now. John 17: 22-23. I planed this from the start. Genesis 1:26.
When you receive Jesus as your Lord, My Spirit comes to dwell within you. Acts 2:38-39; Romans 8:9-11. I make my home within you. John 14:23. You are never alone again. Matthew 28: 20; John 14:16-17. You become a temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19. and a member of the Body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:27.
When you consider the sacredness of the temple under the Mosaic law you get some idea of how you should be regarding your body and how I look at it. 2 Chronicles 29:16; Psalm 5:7; 1 Corinthians 3:17. Nothing unclean was allowed in the temple. 2 Chronicles 23:19. My Son, Jesus, when He dwelt among you as man, cleaned out the temple by overturning the money changers’ tables and driving all the beasts out. John 2:15. He called the temple a house of prayer. Matthew 21:12-13. This is for you too, for your bodies. Think of them as sacred places where nothing unclean should be permitted to enter. Think of yourselves as houses of prayer where My glory resides.
Remember how My glory filled the temple so much that there was no room for anything else and you could not see anything else? 1 Kings 8:11; 2 Chronicles 5:14; 2 Chronicles 7:2. Well, My Holy Spirit shines My glory into your hearts. The glory is My manifestation and I am Love, Exodus 34:6; 1 John 4:16, and I am light, 1 John 1:5, so it is a manifestation of love and light. The Holy Spirit shines My love into your hearts. Romans 5:5, 2 Corinthians 4:6.
I love you. Let me fill your life and there will be no room in you for anything but light and love. You will be sealed by the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 4:30. When you join yourself with Me in this way you become one spirit with Me. 1 Corinthians 6:17. I espouse you to Me forever. Hosea 2:19. Walk with me and be free. Psalm 119:45. Taste and see My goodness. Psalm 34:8. I delight in doing good to you in My eternal Covenant of Love. Jeremiah 32:40-41.
