THOUGHTS, WORDS & ACTIONS-IN AGREEMENT-CREATE REALITY!


CHAPTER 1: THERE ARE THREE: God, THE FATHER

THOUGHTS

“…THERE ARE THREE that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and THESE THREE ARE ONE.  “…THERE IS NO GOD, BUT ONE…” (1 JOHN 5:7 KJV).

*

“…THERE ARE THREE that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and THESE THREE ARE ONE.  “…THERE IS NO GOD, BUT ONE…” (1 JOHN 5:7 KJV). There is God, the Father; God, the Word, and God, the Holy Spirit and these three equal ONE God

From this perspective, the Father, Word, and Holy Spirit are all God, but are different expressions of his Holy nature and power.

God, the Father expresses his Holy nature and power through his thoughts (unspoken words). God, the Word expresses his Holy nature and power through his words (spoken thoughts). God, the Holy Spirit, expresses his Holy nature and power through his actions. There are three different expressions of God, but ALL God.

THERE IS LIQUID, ICE, AND STEAM, BUT THEY ALL EXPRESSIONS OF H2O.

God, the Father’s thoughts (unspoken words) become a reality through his Word (spoken words). “…In the beginning was the Word (god’s thoughts), and the Word (god’s thoughts) was with God, and the Word (god’s thoughts) was God…” (John 1:1-4 NASB).

God, the Father’s thoughts (unspoken words) become a reality through his actions or power. “…In the beginning was the Word (god’s action-power), and the Word (actions/power) was with God, and the Word (actions/power) was God” (John 1:1-4 NASB).

God’s THOUGHTS (unspoken words)  become a reality through his WORD (spoken words) and ACTIONS/POWER. “…. All things came into being through Him (THOUGHTS, WORD, POWER), and apart from Him (THOUGHTS, WORD, POWER) nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB).

However, the WORD and the ACTIONS create reality together  ONLY because they are in AGREEMENT with the THOUGHTS. “…if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven…” (Matthew 18:19 KJV). “....Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3 KJV). “…there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit (Father), and the water (Holy Spirit), and the blood (the Word): and these three agree in one…” (1 John 5:8 KJV).

God, the Father; God, the Word; and God, the Holy Spirit equally reveal God’s HOLY nature and his HOLY power. “…Since the CREATION of the world God’s INVISIBLE QUALITIESHIS ETERNAL POWER AND DIVINE NATURE—have been “CLEARLY SEEN”, being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE…” (Romans 1:20 NIV).

“…Then God SAID, “Let there be light”; AND THERE WAS LIGHT…” (Genesis 1:3 NASB). His DIVINE/HOLY nature and power are “clearly seen.”

For example: “….Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God (thoughts, word, and power) was hovering over the waters. …God (thoughts, the Father) said (speaker, the Word), “Let there be light,” and there was light (actions/power, the Holy Spirit)….God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. …” (Genesis 1 KJV).

the invisible things (thoughts, words, & power) of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN…” (Romans 1:20 KJV).

God wanted to connect and reconcile to mankind. Thus, he created a way to express himself to them through his Word.

If he created a way to express himself to mankind they could get to know who he is. If they could get to know who he is they could choose to be in a covenant relationship with him.

If they chose to be in a covenant relationship with him, he will become their God and Father. If he becomes their God and Father, he could perpetually care for them.

Ancestral fathers, in the Hebrew family, had supreme rights over their children. They could give their daughters away in marriage at their discretion, prearrange marriages for their sons, sell them, sacrifice them, or hire them out.

Nonetheless, fathers were meant to be respected, reverenced, and honored as the supreme head of the family household.

Fathers, as a whole were meant to be thoughtfully affectionate, responsible for the family, a disciplinarian, a guide, encourager, spiritual advisor, trainer, nourisher, and one who infuses his love into his children and delights in their companionship.

God, the Father, on the other hand, is the head of the household of HIS “chosen” human family.

Thus, in addition, he infuses his Holy Spirit into his children and showers them with his holy love, grace, mercy, and multiple spiritual blessings.

God is God to ALL humanity, but is God, the Father,  ONLY to HIS chosen human family. It is his responsibility to be thoughtfully aware of ALL THINGS necessary for their total and complete CARE.

God is “their” Sovereign Caregiver. He is “their” Heavenly Father, who loves them, cares for them, watches over them, protects them, and provides for them.

He NEVER stops thinking about “HIS” chosen human family. “… How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!” (Psalms 139:17 NLT).  “… Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us…” (Psalms 40:5 KJV). “… since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts…” (Psalms 40:17 NLT). “… I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end…” (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV). “… For the Lord is the one who shaped the mountains, stirs up the winds, and reveals his thoughts to mankind…” (Amos 4:13 NLT).

God, the Father, is thoughtfully gracious, tender, affectionate, gentle, warmhearted, and extremely friendly toward those who BELONG to him. “… [Everyone] … who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. [They]…are [ALL]… part of the same body, and enjoy the promise of blessings because THEY BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:6 NLT).  “…He that is joined unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT (BELONG)…” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “We are his; we are “HIS” PEOPLE...” (Psalms 100:3 KJV). “…you belong to God, my dear children…” (1 John 4:2-7 NIV).

He NEVER changes. “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV). “… since it is through God’s kindness (considerate thoughts)… it is not by [your]… good works. God’s grace …[makes all his actions toward us]…—free and undeserved…” (Romans 11:6 NLT). “by the GRACE of God I am what I am” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).

God, the Father, is a THOUGHTFUL Father. “… O Lordthy thoughts are very deep…” (Psalms 92:5 KJV). His children are always ON his mind. “…How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!” (Psalms 119:17 KJV).

God’s thoughts are perpetually directed toward those he loves. “… I know the thoughts that I think toward [my children]…” (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV).

He thinks about his children ALL the time. “…How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!” (Psalms 119:17 KJV).

When someone is on your mind so strongly, as God’s children are on God’s mind, you want to tell them what you’re thinking. “… How precious are your thoughts about me” (Psalms 139:17 NLT). “… Many, O Lord my God, are thy thoughts which are to us…” (Psalms 40:5 KJV).  “…  let the Lord keep me in his thoughts…” (Psalms 40:17 NLT).

In order for God, the Father, to convey his thoughts toward his children, he needed to find a way to express them to them in WORDS. “….The Word became flesh (became a human vessel)” (John 1:14 NASB).

What were the thoughts that motivated him to express himself? “…God SO LOVED the world…” (John 3:16 KJV).

God’s THOUGHTS of Love, for you, came BEFORE the reality of creation. “…thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world…” (John 17:24 KJV).

The ability to EXPRESS his thoughts (unspoken words) of LOVE to humanity was important to God. So he THOUGHT of a way to verbally express or communicate his thoughts (unspoken words) to them. “…[God]…sent His Son...” (1 John 4:10 KJV “…He loved [you] and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for [y]our sins…” (1 John 4:10 NIV). ). “….The Word  [of God] became flesh (became a human vessel)” (John 1:14 NASB).

Whatever God was thinking was revealed through his Son. “…No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom (heart, thoughts, etc.) of the Father, he hath declared him…” (John 1:18 KJV).  “…No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart (thoughts). He has revealed God to us…” (John 1:18 NLT).

Not only did the Son reveal God’s THOUGHTS (unspoken Words), but he also expressed what those thoughts (unspoken words) were. “…YOUR SINS … have cut you off from God…” (Isaiah 59:2 NLT).  “…[The Word] CAME that [you] may have life, and have it abundantly….” (John 10:10 KJV).

Jesus, God’s Word, clearly articulated and expressed God’s thoughts (unspoken words). “…I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak…” (John 12:49 KJV).

Was Jesus a human being?….The Word became flesh (an earthen vessel)” (John 1:14 NASB).

What Jesus also God’s Word?  “… He (Jesus) had a name written, that no man knew … his name is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).

What THOUGHTS (unspoken words) did God, the Father EXPRESS through Jesus, his WORD? He EXPRESSED that: “…The Son of man CAME to seek and to save THAT WHICH WAS LOST…” (Luke 19:10 KJV). “… [Jesus CAME because he is the] … one … who can reconcile God and humanity…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).[Jesus Christ CAME to be] the atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 2:2 NIV). “…[Jesus CAME to be] the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 KJV). “….[Jesus] CAME not to be served but to serve others and TO GIVE HIS LIFE as a ransom for many…" (Matthew 20:28). “….[Jesus CAME because God is], NOT WILLING that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance…” (2 Peter 3:9 KJV). “…[Jesus] CAME that [you] may have life, and have it abundantly….” (John 10:10 KJV).

“…Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered…” (Psalms 40:5 KJV).

God’s thoughts (unspoken words) reflect his Sovereign ideas about his world and the people within it. .“…Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts…” (Isaiah 55:5-9 NLT).

God’s thoughts (unspoken words) originate from a HOLY perspective and influence his point of view about EVERYTHING. “…My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine … my ways are higher  my thoughts higher…” (Isaiah 55:5-9 NLT).

God’s thoughts (unspoken words) reflect a pure, divine attitude that comes from an existence of holiness, untainted by sin and reinforced from eternity to eternity. “… I AM HOLY…” (1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV).  And, There is none holy as the Lord” (1 Samuel 2:2 KJV). “… I AM WHO I AM ’ This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).  “…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh…” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). "… I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God…" (Revelation 1:8 NASB). “… I the LORD … the first, and with the last. I am He...'" (Isaiah 41:4 NASB).  “…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). You are very GREAT…” (Psalm 104:1-2 NASB).

God’s THOUGHTS (unspoken words) are only HOLY and they are shaped and reinforced by his consistently DIVINE, unchanging NATURE. “…I am the Lord, I change NOT” (Malachi 3:6 KJV). “…Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).

As [person] THINKETH within his [or her] heart (thoughts, words, etc), so is he [or she] (actions, behaviors, etc.)…” (Proverbs 23:7 KJV).

God, the Father is HOLY. His THOUGHTS (unspoken words) are HOLY. His WORD is Holy. His ACTIONS are HOLY. “…My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine … my ways are higher  my thoughts higher…” (Isaiah 55:5-9 NLT).

God’s THOUGHTS (unspoken words), alone, before they become a WORD or ACTION have the POWER to create REALITY. “…In the beginning was the Word (god’s thoughts), and the Word (god’s thoughts) was with God, and the Word (god’s thoughts) was God…” (John 1:1-4 NASB).  “…. All things came into being through Him (THOUGHTS, WORD, POWER), and apart from Him (THOUGHTS, WORD, POWER) nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB). “…these three agree in one…” (1 John 5:8 KJV).

When the THOUGHTS of God, the WORD of God, and the POWER of God are in AGREEMENT “all things” come into EXISTENCE. They are EQUALLY POWERFUL.

REALITY, EXISTENCE, BEING, or CREATION all begin with God’s THOUGHTS (his unspoken Word)

Thus, God’s THOUGHTS about you can REVOLUTIONIZE and TRANSFORM your ENTIRE life. You can trust his THOUGHTS, his WORDS, and his POWER with all your heart! “…I know the thoughts (his unspoken Word) that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end…” (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV).

…eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into [the human]… heart … the things which God hath prepared for [those who depend upon his thoughts (unspoken Words)]....” (1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV).

… [God] is able TO DO exceeding abundantly ABOVE all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

“…I am the Lord, the God (thoughts, word, power) of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV).

…Trust in the Lord with all thine heart (with your own thoughts, words, actions) ,,,, In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…The LORD will accomplish (take care of)…that which concerns [you]…” (John 14:31 NASB). “…The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:” (Psalms 37:23 KJV).

God, the Father REVEALS his DIVINE nature and Holy POWER through his THOUGHTS! “…so you will know that [HE “IS”] the Lord…” (Exodus 10:1-2 NLT). “…Then you will know that [he is] the Lord your God…’” (Exodus 16:12 NLT).

“… How precious are your thoughts about me” (Psalms 139:17 NLT).
