The Path Before Us

Nam magna ex, accumsan id auctor sed, finibus a urna. Proin interdum feugiat viverra. Praesent sapien tortor, pulvinar rutrum purus at, tincidunt.

To my sons and daughters I was “Papa”. To my wife I was “Honey”. To my workers I was “Boss”. And yet I am the same man. The point is, it is the same for the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. There are three manifestations of the same Being.

He manifests Himself differently in each of those persons. The Lord is the Father, He is the Son and He is the Holy Spirit. He is the same person. Therefore, understand, it’s as simple as that. We serve one God.

When you think of how water an essential element of life comes in the form of liquid, gas, and solid based on temperature. The transformation of an element into three different forms is a good metaphor for the trinity.

Yes. But consider that Paul, who wrote the New Testament, on his trip to Jerusalem ignored the prophets of the Lord who said to him by the word of the Lord, “Do not go to Jerusalem”, but he went anyway.

Acts 21:4 And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
He wasted 3 years of his ministry. No books. No letters. No converts. Nothing. He turned down the words of 3 prophets. So God turned him down for 3 years. Nothing came out of Paul’s ministry for 3 years.

So, this is what we are talking about. Our perfection will not occur as long as we are in the body. In Romans we are told that until we are out of the body, we have to live with the old man.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:5-7 5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a [a] pledge. 6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— 7 for we walk by faith, not by [b] sight.

To rule and reign with Christ wherever He sends us. All creation awaits the coming of the children of God. They are waiting for us, out there. They’re looking forward to us. Come help us!

It’a a whole concept. We are being prepared to go forth as representatives, ambassadors of Christ. That’s something that nobody talks about. Jesus did because it’s in the book. It was important enough for Him to put in Romans 8:18-21.

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, [n] in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
It’s certainly important enough to teach it to people. All creation groans under the weight of sin and shame awaiting the revelation of the children of God. Meditate on what you are going to be doing. Not what you are today because that’s going to die and go away.

“When you see Me you shall be as I am.” 1 John 3:2

Well what is Jesus like? His hair is white as snow and eyes as flames of fire. Face like the sun itself. We will no longer have these bodies. A new body you will take on. This is what you are going to look like.

Revelation 1:13-15 NASB 13 and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like [k] a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and wrapped around the chest with a golden sash. 14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15 His feet were like [l] burnished bronze when it has been heated to a glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.
Don’t think about what you are today. You ain’t gonna’ be like that when He returns. I definitely know that when the disciple John saw Him it scared the crap out of Him. Because the Lord was so powerful, so beautiful. So magnificent. I imagine when He opened His mouth He sounded like Jesus but He sure didn’t look like him. Not the Jesus the disciples walked with all those years. That’s powerful. A new body is waiting for us.
