Two is One

 As we look at the science of focus, we see two images that have to perfectly match each other’s in order to focus perfectly in the making of a photograph. It is the closest concept that I can come up with in order to explain the oneness between the Father and Jesus Christ. With this in mind we can understand the power there is when those two are in focus in our faith. When we believe this according to the text in John 14:“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior]will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.14.12.AMP There is power in togetherness when the unity and oneness of the Father and Son settle in our spirit. It is because Jesus Christ went to be with his Father that we can do greater work than he did by believing in them. I had like to apologize because the way this post is written. My

God's Forever Covenant With Us (Psalm 89:26 37)

  In Psalm 89:26-37 And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’ I will make him my firstborn son, the mightiest king on the earth.   I will love him and be kind to him forever; my covenant with him will never end.   I will preserve an heir for him; his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven. But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations, If they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands, then I will their sin with the rod and their disobedience with beating. But I will never stop loving him nor fail to keep my promise to him.   No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said. I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness, I cannot lie: his dynasty will go forever; his kingdom will endure as the sun. It will be as eternal as the moon, my faithful witness in the sky!”   God is faithful to his covenant with David and Jesus to all their descendant and that

Not Just a Carpenter (Mark 6:1-6)

  Many in this world claim that Jesus was only human, but like in the following passage,   He is not just a carpenter.   He looks like one but maybe looks are not everything and again faith does not walk by sight.   It walks by believe. Mark 6:1-6 v.3-6 Then they scoffed. “He’s just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon.   And his sisters live right here among us.”   They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.   Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” And because of their unbelief, he could not do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them.   And he was amazed at their unbelief. I often wonder about the state of the world at present time.   For us to have any faith we must have a balanced view of who Jesus Christ is.   Is he just human or just fully spiritually divine?   Either of these beliefs are

Immanuel (God with us)

  Immanuel There you have it, the simple message of the Gospel in the baby Jesus.  The promised Messiah, the Son of God.  The prophets foretold his birth some 600 years prior it happened. “Behold the virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”--- which, when translated, means, “God with us"   (Matthew 1:23) Now this might seem obvious that any god could be with us.   But this Almighty God is living and almighty. Have you heard the story in the Bible in 1 King 18:26-29 where the prophet Elijah along with the prophets of Baal called on their false gods to get some attention from them but obviously since they were not real, they never responded. (verse 27)   At noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry out with a loud voice, for he is a god, either he is occupied, or he is out or he is on a journey.   Perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened….   In the end, the living God is the only One who responded by fire and burned the sa
