The Godhead: Come to Life

A couple of weeks ago after lifting up my husband in prayer I began to converse more deeply with the Almighty. I pondered His heart and the relation between He, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. How could they be separate, yet One? I knew and believed that this was true but couldn’t really figure out how I should come to them in worship… as a whole, separately, or both. I had asked God many times but never got a clear answer. Finally, my questions and inquiries about this were answered and all of my pondering put to rest.

God showed me that He, Himself, is the heart and mind; The Holy Spirit is His Spirit; and Jesus is His flesh. Altogether they equal one whole being but separately they are each a component of God. This answered so many things and brought the Gospel to life in a completely new way for me. The word says that we are created in His image, and this is how that is so. We as people have all of the components that God has because He created us to bear His image.

I also began to see that when we sin it doesn’t just hurt God because we are His creation and His children and He loves us (This is the way that I have been taught), but that He really can relate to us because He knows how much it hurts us. He suffered taking on all of the sin of everyone who will claim Jesus as Lord; everyone who is, was, and will be by dying a horrible painful death that caused His flesh (Jesus) death and excruciating pain, broke His Heart (The Father), and grieved His Spirit (The Holy Spirit). He remembers the pain. He remembers the death. He remembers the suffering. He has mercy. He took on all of that because He loves us and He wanted to understand us that much more. He was willing to go through the death and pain of sin so that He could more closely relate to us. He didn’t have to bring justice into the equation of forgiveness. He is God. He could have decided that He didn’t have to do anything but that forgiveness would be available. But He didn’t. He chose to endure all of our suffering so that He could be that much closer to our hearts. He chose to take the punishment for our sin on Himself to spare us punishment. He is so loving. So perfect. So pure. So kind. He is beyond. He is the Savior King.

I cannot remove the overwhelming joy of the things that God revealed to me, and though for some it might be a simple truth, for me it was a mind-blowing, spirit-stirring, life-changing, breakthrough in worship kind of truth. One that I have never known before.
