God is the Spiritual Personification of Exisstence

Epipanies OR the Transcendal

Creation Indicates Prior Considerations
Things, entities, whatever, as a hard and fast rule, cannot up and create without there being a prior thought out consideration process. This means decisions had to have been made with a prior value construction behind it. There is a prominent view that God created the universe to reflect His glory and presence.
I think He did it for me. He wanted my attention for a reason that would foster within me "attentions" for my good. I further strongly surmise it came from the unseen in order to be seen... again by me.
It is hard for me to be anything but a sheer individually reflective fountainhead of gratitude in the presence of our universe as I perceive it. And all hung on nothing yet! No real estate whatever?
God spoke, & there was light |
Well, while I am impressed, there are quite a few individuals who ignore the complete presentation as far as they can appreciate it. That was probably their uninvolved decision at any rate. So anyway, that may be their decision but, hand it all, this is mine.

Word as Symbol
I am of the impression that there are not a few folks who study the Bible with such exactitude they appear to be worshiping the Book as if it itself were a God. I do not worship a book I worship the Trinity itself not as merely a word.
And it is not just a meaning either, it is described repeatedly so repetitiously in John chapter 17 one does not have to go after that one word Trinity, it is described quite well by Jesus in His high priestly prayer as his disciples slept when the hour had come.
Trinity is a Word
How many times and ways did Jesus say over and over about others believing that God did send Him. I often think about counting the sending verses and the ones who believe in Him are one in Him and He in them. If we are one in Him and He in us Jesus is talking about those already born again into the Spirit. If some one does not relate to one in the Spirit then they must be, it seems to me, worshiping a word. A word that is there in the Spirit is differently understood only by those reborn in the Spirit.Monday 28 October 2024
Anger is a weakness
Grace
Anger indicates an irritation which is simply a loss of control, indicating a physical hostility, as well as more importantly, a like wise spiritual psychologic future attack on all the body's decaying functions.
Space Not Sized |
This is why I am eagerly grateful to Jesus, why I love Him, and why I praise and worship Him. If anyone loves they have access to God. God is all that is Holy. He cannot tolerate any thing other because that is why He exists.

Working next week.....
The one entire chapter in the Bible devoted exclusively to the Trinity, and separately, I finally tackle my trials & tribulations in the Epiphanies.

Why does God need praise?
Does God have a low self esteem, that He desires praise and even worship from others? Why the devil would God need praise?
It would think it may seem that way to anyone who sets themselves on an equal bar with God. For those who think that God does not exist, who better to stand in God shoes?If anyone does not believe God does not exist I suggest in the mix could easily be that they themselves may not exist in that day as well.
Since they believe one side of the equation they may find they get the other side locked in for themselves also. To not exist, and know it, sounds to me that one is dipping into a Dante Inferno double hell with no acceptable unseen escape. Somebody is playing with fire. So what then, I wonder, is the story? Just a tiny tip of a warning, this is simply my story. I don't know anything about any other stories.Thursday 17 October 2024
God of the Fantasies or of Faith
Therefore, however, if being ones own God is anything other than being only a God of ones own fantasies, what can anyone otherwise say? Where could any kind of hope exist? Did we invent ourselves out of whole cloth? Did we create anything before we even existed? We are without information of any relevance.
It seems to me that without hope we can only fall back on our fantasies. There is no information to support anything but hope starved fantasies. Myself, I could not even make them up. In fact this all comes to us all totally as either fantasies or faith. One can, at the very least, have hope. This is my hope, that I have a God of faith with love and grace, such as the fruits of the Spirit of existence. Otherwise, I wonder what kind of fantasy as being ones own God would be? Originally rather strenuous editing continues, particularly for several days from initial appearance.

Praise and Worship
It is true I only know, and that for a physical certainty as well, that my flesh is not only weak but is in control beyond all fleshly contemplations. Just by itself alone I have extensively wasted a large portion of my generously allotted time beyond any justification I can deny.
And yet I have been favored with several unexplained epiphany-like experiences that cast any knowledge I did have beyond acclaimable appreciations.
And yet I feel unexplainedly favored by it all. So, without further concern I will try to describe just how and why one anyone like myself praises God and completely glories in worship.
I do not feel so independently apart from God that I can carry any doubts of how I was designed, let alone made. The sheer wonderment of what we know of the universe is no only outside my area of expertise, it is obviously outside anyone else for that matter.
One has to read certain of the Psalms to absorb the awe accompanying worship of not only the Creator of the universe generates but the very conceiving of it. One has to simply value existence I would have to suggest. Living without hope is totally unbearable in my view.

Enough faith, enough belief
Working out my acceptance...
I can sense conscious intricacies of life dancing around me as much as anyone but just why or how, I cannot say. However I suspect there are those who do and do much more than I.
I envy them their praise and their worship drawing me into their inner fountainhead that attracts me I do not quite know how. How they must love God and His effortless intense concentration of love and forgiveness. There is a secret here that is not a secret, acknowledging faith as a capable power beyond my own concentration.
I believe Jesus when He said that if I had enough faith I could move anything, even fountains into the sea. I am not putting a limit on faith, just my envious inability to do the same.
I also believe Jesus when He also said to the sick woman do you believe I can do this? When she answered yes, Jesus said, then let it be done onto you according to your faith.
Some point out that God does not heal everyone. It is not God who did not, it is those who could not accept their healing. In any situation such as this I know automatically that it is myself who is at fault, not God.
Am I too anxious the enjoy the faith based celebration of physical healing before the full graduation of my body into spirit?

Praise worship and gratitude
With Moses came the first books of the law but with Jesus, as the final sacrifice, came love, forgiveness. grace and all the fruits of the Spirit.
With Abraham came faith, but it was Moses who questioned God about who He was that the people should believe what God told him to say. No report such as this could carry such powerful weight. So in Exodus we have God's answer how He wanted to be known for all generations.
The question I ask myself is how and why I should respond. My primary reaction was and continues to be gratitude, even an all engulfing thankfulness. Why I am not fully sure. Some I believe focus on praise. I can see why as praise lifts oneself up even as praising lifts up God. Others glory in worship.
I suspect there are many who feel uncomfortable, a misunderstanding I suppose because they do not have a strong enough foundation to have an appreciative belief. They have their hands full.

Jesus forgives....
I particularly love God for His Existence and for the existence He has spoken me into. Prophets predict when God places ideas in their hearts. As for me the reason I believe I was burdened with so much logic is that thru it I became a victim of the fallacy of the misplaced authority.
So I became a witness to the blaming of God for the errors of men. It is an embarrassment for me now. So, therefore now, I am a partisan for testifying before men my love of God and Jesus' promise that if I do this, Jesus will speak for me before the Holy Father Himself.
