Now the Lord is That Spirit: and Where the Spirit of the Lord Is, There Is Liberty. - Part 1269

GOD IS SPIRIT. Indeed, the Spirit of God fills the heavens and the earth. While admittedly, no man has seen God at any time, God counselled with Himself before deciding to reveal Himself to His creation by showing His Spirit in a visible form.

Consider this. JESUS, the Alpha of the revelation of the Spirit of God in visible form. And JESUS being the only begotten Son of God. Yes, Jesus was begot. JESUS was not created. Jesus came forth from the innermost being of God. JESUS being the one self same God who is Spirit, now appearing in visible form.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God ..." (John 1:1)

God manifest in the flesh. (I Timothy 3:16)

JESUS, coming forth from God’s bosom (or explained another way, His innermost being). In other words, JESUS coming forth of God. He was without father or mother and without descent. What does this mean? First and foremost, JESUS is not "another" God. Rather, Jesus is the one and same God who created us in the very beginning.

Jesus is the same God Spirit stepping forth in visible form. The SAME GOD.

"The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man. He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war. He shall cry, yea, roar; He shall prevail against His enemies." (Isaiah 42:13)

JESUS -- God in visible form displaying and revealing God’s splendour, wisdom and power to all creation. This explains why the scriptures state that in JESUS was all the fullness of the Spirit of God, now seen in visible form. JESUS, in visible form being the Same God who is Spirit.

In the beginning, God. (Genesis 1:1) The Spirit of the Lord God

We call JESUS the Only Begotten Son Of God because JESUS came forth from the innermost being of God. We now see the Spirit of the previously unseen God in the visible form of JESUS. JESUS, who had neither the beginning of days nor ending of life is the same one God who made all things.

"In the beginning, God." (Genesis 1:1) "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made ... He was in the world and the world was made by Him but the world knew Him not." (John 1:1-18)

As such, JESUS revealed to man that, “All that the Father has is Mine." The only begotten is Jesus. All things whither seen or unseen were made by JESUS and for JESUS for it is written that JESUS is the beginning of the revealing of God in visible form.

"For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else." (Isaiah 45:18)

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." (Hebrews 11:3)

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created." (Revelation 4:11

Thus saith God the LORD, "He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and Spirit to them that walk therein ..." (Isaiah 42:5)

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands." (Acts 17:24)

"And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands ..." (Hebrews 1:10)

"But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him." (I Corinthians 8:6)

"By the Word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth." (Psalms 33:6)

"Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth." (Psalms 115:15)

Thus saith the LORD, Thy redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb, "I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself." (Isaiah 44:24)    

And saying, "Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein ...." (Acts 14:15)   

"For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him. And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist." (Colossians 1:16-17)  

"Thou, even Thou, art LORD alone; Thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is herein, and Thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth Thee." (Nehemiah 9:6)  

"By His Spirit He hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the crooked serpent." (Job 26:13)

"Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding." (Isaiah 40:28)

Yes, in the beginning, God who is Spirit created the Heavens and the earth -- the earth being without form and void -- a time when darkness covered the earth. From the scriptures we read that a voice was heard saying, “Let there be Light."

JESUS the visible God spoke His own Words. Surely, when God speaks, He speaks through His own mouth which is the mouth of JESUS, who is God, albeit visible and invisible, but altogether Almighty GOD nevertheless.

In the beginning, JESUS who is God alone spoke His intent for the world and its inhabitants. His Spirit moved upon His Word and whatever God’s purposed intent was, it was realized and materialized. JESUS as God saying that His new creation is good.

Why? Because God made man in His own image. He made man from the dust of the earth fashioned like as unto His own visible form. Upon completion, God breathed into man the breath of life, causing man to become a living soul.

As a result, Adam was created in the form of God from the dust of the earth. Eve was also formed of God with Eve being formed out of one of Adam’s ribs. The reason for this? Adam and Eve were to become one flesh - bone of man’s bone and flesh of man’s flesh. Similarly, Adam received of God the breath of life.

Upon receiving GOD’S breath, Adam became a living soul. (Note - Adam was capable of producing offspring bearing his own image) But after Adam sinned through disobedience to God’s initial instructions, Adam and Eve were removed from the Garden of Eden.

Whereupon the fulfillment of this initial action by Adam and Eve, God purposed to veil Himself in flesh so that we might be saved. God’s fleshly form was to be veiled and birthed even as we are. Thus, God purposely entered this world to save Adam and Eve, His Beloved, for in them did dwell HIS BREATH!. In other words, Adam was to God even as Eve was to Adam.

This is why JESUS laid down HIS life for HIS betrothed. Let him who hath ears to hear, hear. Stand in the offering plate.
