God is not three distinct and separate persons as satan the great deceiver and prince of the system of error would imply. Indeed, God is one Spirit. God is a holy Spirit. It is God who is Spirit. It is God who no man had ever seen, who after counselling with Himself, decided that He was going to create a visible world. The written scriptural word presents this decision as in the “Day” (period of time). Note that creation as a whole was over days - six days or periods to be exact. God did rest the seventh day and when He did, God saw that it was good.
Visibly we now see the Almighty-ness and the wisdom of God displayed continually. We are able to constantly view at no cost God's creation. At the end of the day, this leaves man without excuse for his unbelief. Still, God knew that man would be deceived. This explains why the Written Word declares, "Woe to the inhabitants of the earth. For satan has come to earth to dethrone man from the prominent position delegated of God to man."
For example, God has set man over the works of His own hands. And thus, satan was enraged, for during a previous period, he was a prominent figure in the household of God. That is, until pride took hold of him. This resulted in a rebellion and next, following on the heels of rebellion war. The written Word declares to man that there was war in heaven leaving God’s created world -- as described -- without form and void. (e.g. the result of war and devastation).
The devil 9satan) was then cast out of Heaven. So in his anger, satan now turns his attention upon man. As we know, satan easily deceives man through deception, saying to Eve, "Hath God said?" This is important because satan always contradicts God’s Word. In this case, recall God’s word to Adam. But satan first enticed Eve, and then Eve influenced Adam. Eve was deceived, whereas Adam plain and simply sinned against God. How? Well, God had directly instructed Adam concerning the matter beforehand.
Notice how satan wraps himself in words spoken by God (Truth) and then embodies a lie into the truth? It is like wrapping poison with sugar. The scripture declares that such a lie is not the truth. Man's only defense against satan is through adherence to the Word of God. That is why, Jesus, God Himself as a Son, when tempted of the devil said, "It is written."
Notice how the devil always wraps truth and error together, as if it were the Written Word of God. In so doing, satan deceives persons unacquainted with the scriptures (like Eve). But we have the revealed counsel of the Word of God. Whilst satan may try to lead us into his captivity, the written Word encourages us to put on ,the whole armour of God. This is to read the scriptures for ourselves - the written Word!
The Spirit of God (regardless of what religious demonically propelled individuals advance as truth) does not amount to three persons. The Written Word declares that there is only One Spirit and that one Spirit is a holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost is declared to be God, a descriptive title, ascribed to One who is the source of all Wisdom, Power and Majesty.
God has revealed that His One Spirit is the Father of all things. It is He who is the Same One holy Spirit who has revealed Himself as the One holy Spirit indwelling the man Jesus, who is God Himself, in visible form.
Jesus said, "I and My Father are ONE!" (John 10:30)
This is why God speaks to us in Spirit fellowship. God speaks to us as the Father of all spirits. God speaks to us as one Spirit indwelling as a Son in the man Christ Jesus. This same indwelling One Spirit made all things after the counsel of His own will. There is only ONE GOD and this one God was in the World.
God manifest in the flesh. (I Timothy 3:16)
"For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy, and I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, He doth judge and make war. His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on His head [were] many crowns; and He had a Name written, that no man knew but He Himself, and He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His Name is called The Word of God." (Revelation 19:10-13; John 1:1-18; Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:21-23; Acts 2:36-38; Hebrews 1:1-14; I John 5:7; Luke 24:47; Revelation 15:3-4; Isaiah 63:2-3)
"And on His vesture and on His thigh, a Name written: King of kings and Lord of lords." (Revelation 19:16)
Stand in the offering plate with Jesus today.
