In the beginning was the Soul, and the Soul was with the Holy Spirit, and the Soul was the Holy Spirit. Joh 1:1 What does it mean by in the beginning was the Word ?         ➛ A `word` is an expression of an idea.         ➛ An idea comes from a mind that is self-aware and able to think.         ➛ When a word is spoken it has a purpose and it often has an intensity or emotion connected with it.         ➛ Mind, will and emotions constitute a Soul.      So, the Soul Of God existed in the beginning.      What does it mean by the Word was with God ?         ➛ God is a Spirit    ➛ A spirit is the qualitative aspect of a being.     It represents the nature and value system of that being.         ➛ The spirit of a being is the essence of that being.         ➛ So, the Soul Of God was with the Spirit Of God in the beginning.      What does it mean by the Word was God ?         ➛ It means that the Soul Of God and the Spirit Of God constitute one divine being.      Joh 1:2 emphasizes the fact that the Soul Of God and the Spirit Of God existed in the beginning.      Joh 1:3 tells us that this God who is Soul and Spirit created all things.      Joh 1:10 tells us that Jesus made the world.      Joh 1:14 tells us that the Soul Of God, the Word, was made flesh and dwelt among us.     Now we have the Body Of God.     This is Jesus.      Heb 1:3 tells us that Jesus is the express image of God.      So, God is a single being who is Spirit Soul And Body just as man is who was created in His image Gen 1:26.         ➛ the Soul Of God,    ➛ the Spirit Of God and    ➛ the Body Of God constitute one God as is emphasized in Deu 6:4.      Word Creator In The Beginning

In the fullness of time, God made Himself a body.   

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Holy Spirit Father), full of grace and truth. Joh 1:14 `The Word was made flesh` means that the eternal Word Of The Lord was born into the human family.      `begotten of the Father` speaks to the fact that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary.      `full of grace and truth` speaks to the character of the Holy Spirit being manifested in the Soul and Body of Christ Jesus.      Christ Jesus is the express image of the Father, and that image is the pattern used to create Adam and all humanity.     We are Spirit Soul And Body as is our Creator, Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Phi 2:5 Jesus wants us to be like Him.     After all, He created us in His image Gen 1:26.      He chided His disciples when they did not measure up to their potential.     `Oh you of litte faith, why are you so fearful` Mar 4:40.      Jesus made it possible for us to be accepted by His Holy Spirit through His blood sacrifice Eph 1:6.      Once cleansed He made it possible for us to receive His Holy Spirit Luk 24:49.      The Holy Spirit of Christ is who raised Christ Jesus from the dead Rom 8:11.      He told us that greater deeds would we do as a result of receiving that gift Joh 14:12.      But, in order for us to realize our potential we must `realize our potential` 1Jn 3:2.      As we think in our hearts so are we Pro 23:7.      For me or you to reach our potential in Christ we must believe what He said about us to the extent that we allow it to transform our thoughts, words and deeds Rom 12:2.      The Mind Of Christ is achieved by knowingly and willingly being transformed by the Word and Holy Spirit Phi 2:5.      We must desire to have the Mind Of Christ and we must feed on what He fed on to arrive at the same place He did Mat 5:6.      Jesus said the Kingdom Of Heaven is at hand when He walked the earth Mat 4:17.      In the Word and Holy Spirit we can manifest heaven on earth Mat 12:28.      It is His will but is it yours?     Eph 3:20

Who, being the form [image] of His Holy Spirit Father, thought it not robbery to be equal with His Holy Spirit Father: Phi 2:6 What is the form of our Creator?      We need only look at man who was made in His image Gen 1:26.      The Holy Spirit formed Jesus in Mary`s womb for the purpose of manifesting Himself in the body of Jesus.      Since the Holy Spirit did this, Jesus did not think it presumptuous for Him to be equal with the Holy Spirit.      It is this thinking in His mind and heart that enabled Him to speak the words of the Holy Spirit and by the power of the Holy Spirit to do the works of the Holy Spirit - just as He had done in the beginning when He created all things.

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men [as the Body Of God ]: Phi 2:7 But Jesus did not lift Himself up.     He lifted His Holy Spirit Father up and glorified Him.     Jesus humbled His soul`s will to the will of His Holy Spirit.      We must humble our soul`s will to the will of our New Spirit in order to manifest as a Son Of The Holy Spirit.

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phi 2:8 Jesus Christ is the Soul Of God in the Body Of God filled with the Spirit Of God.     (He is Spirit Soul And Body just as we are who were created in His image).      Our Creator prepared Himself a Body to be the sacrifice for the sins of the world.     Christ Jesus is God with us - Immanuel.      The Soul Of God and the Body Of God had to submit to the Spirit Of God who is the love and compassion from which Grace proceeds.

Wherefore the Holy Spirit Father also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Phi 2:9 Jesus` perfect performance of the desire and purpose of His Holy Spirit brought honour and glory to Him such that the name of Jesus is exalted above every name.         ➛ Jesus is the name of the Son    ➛ Jesus is the name of the Father    ➛ Jesus is the name of the Holy Spirit.      Jesus is Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Saviour, Lord and King.

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Phi 2:10 One of these days every knee will bow to Jesus including all those who have received Him as well as all those who have rejected Him.         ➛ For those In Christ it will be a joyful bowing with hearts full of praise and thanksgiving in anticipation of glory in His presence forevermore.         ➛ For those who have rejected Christ Jesus as Mighty God and Savior it will be a terrifying experience in anticipation of judgment followed by punishment in the Lake Of Fire.

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of the Lord the Holy Spirit Father. Phi 2:11 All humanity will speak in confession that Jesus is Lord and thus glorify the Father whose plan He fulfilled.      Who is the Father?     Holy Spirit.      It was the Holy Spirit that impregnated Mary.     It was the Holy Spirit that was in Jesus empowering Him to speak and do His will.      Jesus said if you have seen me you have seen the Father.         ➛ Jesus is the body of the Holy Spirit.         ➛ The Holy Spirit is the Spirit Of Christ Jesus.      The glory of the Holy Spirit Father is His elation in bringing about the salvation of so many to be forever in His presence in full fellowship.

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Heb 2:14 The Lord took on flesh and blood to experience life as His children.     By raising Himself from the dead He has defeated Satan the death-master.

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Heb 2:15 People who live in fear are in bondage.     They are victims of thievery.     They are being robbed of life.      Fear is evidence of unbelief.      Jesus came to make us Free Indeed so that we can enjoy eternal, Abundant Life right now.      Fear Steals the moment.     It steals `now` leaving us hoping for a tomorrow that never comes.      Recognize it for what it is and be set free In Christ Jesus.

For truly he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Heb 2:16 Jesus was not born with advantage.     He was the Son Of Man.

Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brothers, that he might be a compassionate and faithful high priest in things pertaining to the Lord, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Heb 2:17 Reconciliation is why Christ came.     The Holy Spirit in human flesh to make a blood sacrifice is what it took.

For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Heb 2:18 Christ Jesus has been through it so that He can identiy with us and deliver us.

Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me: Heb 10:5 Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world in the sense that He knew that the precious gift of Free Will would result in rebellion and sin which could only be covered by the shedding of His own blood..

For in him dwells all the fulness of divinity bodily. Col 2:9 Our Creator is Spirit And Word Joh 1:1.      He is the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus.     He is Spirit Soul And Body manifested in the Lord Jesus Christ.      The Holy Spirit impregnated Mary Mat 1:18.      Hence, Jesus is the Son of the Holy Spirit.     That makes the Holy Spirit the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.      The Holy Spirit made Himself a body to relate to the physical creation Heb 10:5.      That body we call Jesus.      When Jesus spoke He spoke the words of the Holy Spirit Father.     When Jesus healed and set free, He was doing the works of the Holy Spirit Father.     The Holy Spirit Father was in Jesus Joh 14:10.      So, we see that the annointing that made Jesus the Christ, is the Holy Spirit who fathered Him, who spoke through Him, who empowered Him and who ultimately raised Him from the dead Rom 8:11.      There is One Lord Deu 6:4 and He is Spirit And Word - He is Christ Jesus.

Jesus says unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip?     he that has seen me has seen the Holy Spirit Father; and how say you then, Show us the Holy Spirit Father? Joh 14:9 Jesus states categorically who He is - the express image of the Father.     Joh 18:5 You can hear the hurt and amazement in Jesus` voice as He responds.      Jesus tells Philip that He is the Father.     He then rebukes Philip for even doubting that He is the Father.
