John the apostle began his Book of the Gospel with a look back at the way things were in the beginning of creation. Like Yeshua before him, John was also leaving an inheritance of the knowledge and understanding that had been bestowed upon him to each man or woman who would choose to become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven.

Jo 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

God is spirit. The origin of all things was spirit, the audible word that God spoke in the beginning. And every word that God spoke was in agreement with the heart of God, and every word that God spoke was God in action, Spirit in action.

Jo 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

God breathed into man a portion of his spirit, words. Originally, men had only God

Anne,

Not sure I understand this, Care to explain a little further about the enlightenment ? Also, who those were that were ignorant of God's laws?

" After the fall of man, enlightenment even shined from within men who were ignorant of divine laws, but because they were lacking in knowledge about divine laws, they did not understand the importance of being educated concerning the things God."

Thanks,

Rick

Few: You're a little over my head, too.

I have a hard time taking every word literally. You should hear my husband and I when we're "horsing around" with each other.

There'd have to be some provision for context of words...For example: Play.

When we're little children, we invent ourselves using words.

Now, as adults we still play. Play suggests that we are normal, healthy, balanced individuals.

I don't think we can ever be too dogmatic about the "words" we speak because you'd be living your whole life walking on egg shells. It's too easy to go to extremes.

I believe it's not so much the "words" we speak as the motives behind the words.

One can speak flattering words but their intent be devious. It's the human heart God weighs and considers. JMO.

Anne,

I really do not want to offend you, but I feel that your interpretation of John 1:1-5 is fraught with errors. I hope you take my responses as exhortation and correction, rather than trying to pick you apart. I understand that you are seeking enlightenment from God's word. But I see a couple of things you are saying have been the cause of leading some astray in the past.

Jo 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

God is spirit. The origin of all things was spirit, the audible word that God spoke in the beginning. And every word that God spoke was in agreement with the heart of God, and every word that God spoke was God in action, Spirit in action.

The purpose of John

-All things were made by the word of God, whether originally spoken by God to men, or repeated by men according to what had been spoken to them by God, and nothing was made without the word of God (him).

-These are"deceptive statements"with just enough"TRUTH" contained in them & still be"deceptive"

-This is"NEW-AGE"& canNOT be accepted as TRUTH.....Sorry, but that's just the way it is folks.....

-No unholy spirit can enter into the kingdom of heaven. The lost speak with an unholy spirit. The born again speak with a holy spirit. It is the responsibility of every Christian

to know the spirit that is sent out on his words.

-These type of statements come directly out of{NEW-AGE}doctrine--phylosophy--When you hear or

-see these type of statements---RUN FER THE NEAREST EXIT---Very Quickly-- :t2::t2::rofl:

-I'm sorry ta have to say it but like I posted above{this is new-age-phylosophy--doctrine}--

- IT sounds{good--logical--pleasing to the ear--& some even call it "spiritually deep"in the beginning

-But after a few more"lessons--teachings--doctrines"are presented you can"see",if ya look close

-enough"& are "grounded"in GOD'S WORD, then you can separate the"true"from the false. :t2:

-These"deceptions"HOOK folks that are looking for & honestly desiring a"closer-walk"with the LORD.

-They are very subtil{the teachings}just enough truth to make you accept the"small--little LIE"that

-is almost imperceptable to the honest-seeker of truth & always leads down hill from that

- "one little-subtil lie"---i.e."what part of a "little-lie is NOT a lie??"the "little lie"corrupts the "whole".

-A "little leaven leavens the whole lump"...1st.cor.5.vs.6--matt.16.vs.6--luke.12.vs.1---gal.5.vs.9---

Don't some of the "W" word teachers, teach something like that, about our words having power like God's? Seems like I recall reading something about that before, but it's been a while.

They do indeed Calamity. However when you look this has a little extra added twist that I have not heard in that group before. Only in New Age have I heard part of this.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
