This is in no way meant to be a doctrinal treatise on the meaning of the trinity (which, by the way, is never mentioned in the Bible, just in theological literature about the Bible), but rather a way of looking at ourselves in relation to God. When not capitalized, the word trinity
means a group of three.
Love Never Fails
I awakened this morning to words of freedom. I understood that to live in the kingdom of heaven we have to be free ourselves and set everyone else free. That is the love that never fails 1Corinthians 13:8. As long as there is condemnation for myself or for another, I am not free and I cannot love.
In the Image and Likeness
Genesis 1:26-28 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
The Dream (Part 1)
I awakened this morning at 6:00 from a very vivid dream wherein I was most apprehensive about a play that I was about to perform in but for which I was not prepared. I didn’t know my lines at all. It was certainly going to be disastrous. Of course I was immensely relieved when I awakened and recognized that it was only a dream and had no reality. I knew inside that what I had just experienced had spiritual significance. So I got out of bed and lay down under an infrared dome to listen. I’ve had many revelations while lying under that dome, including the one contained in the contemplation Ten Righteous Men.

BELIEVE —Then Receive
Even though Jesus told us that He came to give us abundant life
(John 10:10) and that it is our Father’s good pleasure to give us the kingdom
(Luke 12:32), religion has given us many explanations as to why we aren’t receiving what is promised.
Casting Out Demons
All demons
are personal manifestations of fear. Any fear that I have embodies itself and presents itself to me for recognition and acceptance. If I don’t reject the manifestation, cast
it from me into the sea of oblivion, it will take up residence in me as my personal demon.
Judge Not by Appearances
Last night I had the opportunity to prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God
(Romans 12:2). And of course I did that by renewing my mind
to the truth —rather than what appeared
to be the truth (John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.).
Belief in Two Powers: Knowledge of Good and Evil
Note: This contemplation should be read before reading “Should I See a Physician” and “Dare We Trust God for our Physical Well-Being?”
In the beginning God
(Genesis 1:1), the God who is love (1John 4:8,16) and therefore good. And all that He created was very good
(Genesis 1:31). This God is referred to in Scripture as the Almighty
at least 57 times and is called the Lord God omnipotent
in Revelation 19:6.

Judging Arthritis
-
Romans 8:1
- There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
- Matthew 7:1
- Judge not, that ye be not judged.
- Luke 6:37
- Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
- John 7:24
- Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
If I Perish, I Perish
If God is omnipotent (Almighty, all powerful), if with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26), if all things are possible to him that believes (Mark 9:23)—and if when we pray and believe, we have what we pray for (Mark 11:23-24), if God answers even before we call (Isaiah 65:24), if we are just to stand still and see the salvation of God (Exodus 14:13; 2Chronicles 20:17), then we must face some hard truths. We must admit that if any person, situation or illness can successfully stand against this God that we are believing in, that person, situation or illness is more powerful than God and therefore should be bowed down to and worshiped instead of the God we say we believe in. For that situation, person or illness has become our God.
