THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 405

In post 404, we saw the footprint God has on our lives as our creator, redeemer, Saviour and friend. God who is with us throughout the sands of time even though at times - at least in our eyes - may appear obscure. Still, what we need to recognize here is that the plan of God on our lives is always prevalent. JESUS not only authored the scriptures but appeared upon earth as a man, displaying healings, miracles, signs, and wonders.

Unfortunately, man’s ideas at times seem stuck in cement, sometimes bringing forth arguments against the same scriptures whereby eye witnesses at the time testified to what they saw. That is, the positive miracles, signs, and wonders wrought by JESUS.

For example, the man born blind that JESUS healed. As the scriptures state, JESUS momentarily disappeared from sight. In the interim, religious men approached the blind man who now had 20/20 vision. These religious men cross examined the once blind man asking how this could have happened. Indeed, they even challenged his parents as to how such a thing could happen. The parents replied by saying, "Ask him. He is old enough to speak." So once again, the religious men challenged the young man but the religious prosecutors did not like the man’s answers. Some might suggest that their ego was deflated. So they said to the man, "Who are you to teach us?" The young man simply declared - All I know is that ‘Once I Was Blind But Now I See!

Whether man believes in the miracles Jesus performed really matters little. Why not? Because man's unbelief does not alter the course of the world. Further, the Book of Life only records whether one has faith in God or whether their life is the result of unbelief. When JESUS preached that the Kingdom of God has come near man, He did so in order that we could now know the truths concerning the Kingdom of God. And JESUS preached the Good News in Word by illustrating the life of the Kingdom of God by discharging sickness and demonic oppression. Therefore, healing the blind so that they could see.

How? JESUS, God with us, being the Son of the Holy Ghost healed the blind! The same Holy Ghost that fathered the man JESUS. For JESUS was and is the SEED of the Holy Ghost. In JESUS, all the fullness of the Godhead did dwell bodily! (Colossians 1:17; Colossians 2:9)

JESUS being likened to a corn of wheat that if the SEED of wheat is not planted, it remains as one corn. JESUS walked upon earth as one corn. However, when JESUS was murdered at Calvary and then planted (buried) in the tomb, then the corn SEED multiplied in number. From that one SEED comes forth many more. In short, the one SEED fathered many more SEEDS in the process of the ONE SEED dying!

JESUS is the SEED of the Holy Ghost. The very life of God as a Son was murdered and buried. From that ONE SEED comes forth offspring which in this case is a whole multitude of JESUS PEOPLE born of the ONE SEED of His holy Spirit whose sin prone flesh carcass (kernel) was buried. A new spiritual people born out of the SEED of the Holy Ghost within (the kernel)emerge these offspring are the children of God’s SEED.

This is the message we now preach to the world. The same message as was preached by the SEED of the Holy Ghost who fathered them. Those who now go about healing the sick and casting out devils. Why? Because the offspring inherited the power and nature of the very same God who fathered them!
