Food for thought, for one's Soul, (one’s heart & mind, one’s thoughts, will,& emotions):
Throughout the Word of Truth,& then finally in the Book of Revelation, HE, our ONE Creator GOD is revealed.
[Connect the Dots;, “Draw closer to the Lord and HE will draw closer to you”. (James 4;8,Deuteronomy 6;4,& Luke 2;11)…,

&6, For GOD who said let Light shine out of Darkness, made His Light shine in our Hearts to give us the Light of the Knowledge of the Glory of GOD in the FACE of Christ. (See Exodus 33;18-20).
II Chronicles 7;14, “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and…,
seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I’ll hear from heaven, forgive their sin & heal their land.
[See mark 4;12,& Matthew 13;15,Isaiah 6;9&10, 9;6,& John 5;22&23, and…,
then John 12;44&45, “…, when one looks at me, he sees the one who sent me.”
John 14;7, If you really knew me you would know my Father as well. From now on…,
you do know Him and have seen Him.”
8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us. 9Jesus answered:
“Don’t you know me Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? . . .
Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”
Isaiah 7;13Then Isaiah said, "Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men?
Will you try the patience of my God also? 14Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign;
The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. (God with us).
Isaiah 9;6, “For unto us a Child was born, unto us a Son was given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father…,
the Prince of Peace.
John 14;13, And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the  Father. . .
[The Glory of the Father is “the Light of Life”,& is the illumination of Heaven. See II Corinthians 3;17,& John 4;23&24, 8;12,19&58…,

(One’s Soul is the heart & mind; one’s thoughts, will,& Emotions).]
James 4;8, Draw closer to Him and HE will draw closer to you. (See Luke 2;11,& Matthew 11;27-30).
Revelation 16;7, The altar responded: “Yes, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, true and just are your JUDGMENTS”.
[See John 5;22 & 23/12;44 & 45, and…,
Revelation 1;13and among the lampstands was someone "LIKE a son of MAN", dressed in a robe reaching down to His feet and with a golden sash around His chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In His right hand HE held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp double edged sword.
(See & Connect with Hebrews 4;12, John 1;1&14,& Revelation 19;13).
His Face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. 17When I saw Him…,
I fell at His feet as though dead. (Connect with Exodus 33;20).
Then HE placed His right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I Am the First and the Last. . .
(A few Old Testament referrals to Christ: Ezekiel 1;24-28,& Daniel 7;13,& 10;5).

Exodus 33…, 18Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory. 19And the LORD said, "I will cause ‘ALL’ my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, (see Luke 2;11), in your presence. I will have mercy…,
on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. . .
(See Matthew 20;13-16, the parable of Vineyard workers).
***Exodus 33;20But, HE said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.
(Connect with Revelation 1;14-17).
***Isaiah 43;10"You are my witnesses declares the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen…,
(see Isaiah 42;19,& II Corinthians 5;20,& Revelation 11;3). so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am HE.
Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. . .
11I, even I, AM the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. (also see Isaiah 45;21/John 19&58/Luke 2;11&26).
[A Clarification: “In the beginning” (John 1;1), “before creation of the world” (John 17;5&24), the ‘invisible’ Spirit of God, the Father…,
(see John 4;23&24/ Colossians 1;15&16), spoke “the Word”,& ‘formed’ “His own” (John 1;1,3,10&11 & 14), image . . .
(See II Corinthians 4;4-6,& Revelation 1;8,14-16,& 21;6&7/John 5;22&23,& 12;45,& 14;7&9).]
Isaiah 43;13Yes, and from ancient days I am HE.
***[Question: Will the ‘Truth’ of our Creator, the Lord God our Savior’s Glory be acknowledged & proclaimed (???), or be suppressed (???).]
Intellectual Pride,& Trust in Man’s Traditional Teaching, vs. Humility and Faith in the Word of Truth:
“It’s better to take refuge, (or trust) in the Lord”, (‘God our Savior’, the Creator), than to trust in man. . .
[Connect Psalm 118;8,Luke 2;26&11,I Timothy 1;1,Proverbs 3;5,& 30;5&6,Colossians 1;15&16,Jeremiah 17;5-10…,

& Revelation 1;8, 13-18, 16;7, 19;2, 21;6&7,& 22;12&13.]
***Man’s traditional teaching that the Creator God our Savior is “three distinct, (implying separate) persons” is false. (see Proverbs 30;5&6/John 1;1&14,& 10;30/ Deuteronomy 6;4,& John 12;44&45, 14;7&9,& Luke 2;11&26,& 10;22).
Isaiah 29;13, The Lord says, "These people come near to me with their mouth       and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me       is made up only of rules taught by men”. [or…,
”They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.”].
(Also see Mark 7;6,7&9,& John 12;44&45/14;7&9,& Matthew 7;22&23). . .
***Luke 10;22 “No one knows who the Son is except the Father,& no one knows who the Father is, except…,
the Son,& those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him”.
II Corinthians 4;13, It is written, “I believe,& therefore I speak…,”
(See Proverbs 30;5&6, John 1,3,10,11&14, 12;44&45, 14;7&9, Revelation 1;8,13-18,& 21;6&7).
And Whether these Words, (or ’seeds of Truth’) have or haven’t fallen on “good soil”, HE, our Creator God knows.
[See I Kings 8;39&60,Matthew 13;23,Luke 2;26&11/John 13;13,3;13, 8;19 & 58/Exodus 3;14…,
& Revelation 1;8, 14-16, 21;6&7,& John 5;22&23, 12;44&45, 14;7&9,& Revelation 16;7,& 22;12&13.]
Our ONE Creator GOD, the ‘Everlasting Father’, Son,& Holy Spirit/’Wonderful Counselor’ = Spirit, Body,& Soul.
(SPIRIT: John 4;24/II Corinthians 3;17, Body: II Corinthians 4;4&6/Colossians 1;15/Revelation 1;14&16,& Soul: Psalm 11;5/Isaiah 1;14,& 9;6)
***Why do Church Leaders pray/talk to God about Jesus, as though Christ…, isn’t?
When His, God’s Church Leaders pray/talk to the Father about Jesus, (thanking Him for ‘sending his son’), as if Christ isn’t God, isn’t hearing our prayer,& isn’t included in the conversation, HE…, our Creator…,
the ‘Everlasting Father’, “God our Savior” is dishonored.
(See,& connect John 5;22&23/12;45,14;7&9, Isaiah 9;6,& John 8;19&58/Exodus 3;14/Revelation 1;8,14-18,16;7,21;6&7,& 22;12&13).
Through faith & belief in Him, (“the Word” of ‘Truth’), Jesus Christ; (John 1;1,3,11&14,3;16,14;6,7&9)…,
Answer these questions,& “Simply let your yes be yes, & your no…, no. Anything beyond that…,”, (Matthew 5;37).
Question: Since ‘the beginning’, “before the creation of the world”, is Jesus Christ “the Image of God” our Creator, “the same yesterday, today,& forever”? Yes, or No?
(See Hebrews 13;8/Colossians 1;15&16/II Corinthians 4;4&6/Revelation 1;8,14-16,& John 1;1&14/17;5&24).
Question: Is Christ “the image of…,” our Creator, “the Firstborn over all creation”? Yes or no?
(Connect Colossians 1;15&16 with II Corinthians 4;4&6,& Revelation 1;8,14&16).
Question: Is “the Glory of God in the face of Christ”? Yes or no?
(Connect II Corinthians 4;4&6, with Revelation 1;8,14-16).
Question: Is Christ “the image of God” our ‘Everlasting Father’? Yes or no? [Connect Luke 10;22-24,II Corinthians 4;4&6, and John 17;5&24, with Isaiah 7;14, 9;6, John 8;19&58/Exodus 3;14, John 12;44&45,14;7&9,& Revelation 1;8,14-16,& 21;6&7.]

Question: If the answers are YES to the previous questions (through faith in the Word of Truth), then why…,
do His Church Prayer Leaders pray/talk to God about Jesus, as if Christ…, isn’t? (See Matthew 1;23,& Isaiah 7;14).
It’s because of man’s traditional teaching,& through a lack of faith & understanding,& within man’s Pride, that…,
the Lord’s Church Leaders, (who teach by example), mislead congregations because of ‘Easy Believism’, and…,
‘Selective Extraction’. And this dishonors Him, the Lord God Almighty each week in Prayer & Worship.
(See & connect John 5;22&23, 12;44&45,& 14;7&9 to Revelation 16;7, 22;12&13, 1;8, 13-18,& 21;6&7).
‘Selective Extraction’ is the selection, projection,& emphasis of certain particular verses of scripture…,
which exclude & disregard many other verses, (the whole ‘Truth’), for the sake of ‘Easy Believism’.
‘Easy Believism’ is man’s tendency to gravitate towards whatever is easiest to believe, understand, or explain.
And leaders of His, God’s Church, who teach by example, will be held to a higher standard. (See James 3;1).
See Luke 10;22, "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except…,
the Father,& no one knows who the Father is except the Son,& those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
[See & connect Isaiah 7;14,9;6, John 12;44&45, 14;7&9, II Corinthians 4;4&6, Colossians 1;15&16,& John 8;19&58/Exodus 3;14…,

***“If my people would humble themselves, pray,& seek my face…,”, (Connect II Chronicles 7;14 with Revelation 1;8,14&16).
***Again, “it’s better to take refuge, (or trust) in the Lord”, (‘God our Savior’, “the Word” of ‘Truth’)…,
“than to trust in man”. [Connect Psalm 118;8,Luke 2;26&11,I Timothy 1;1,Proverbs 3;5,30;5&6,Colossians 1;15&16,Jeremiah 17;5-10…,
John 1;1,3,11&14,5;22&23,12;44&45,14;6,7&9,17;5&24, Mark 7;7&9,& Isaiah 7;14, 9;6, 29;13, 43;10&11…,
& John 8;19&58/Exodus 3;14,& Revelation 1;8, 13-18, 16;7, 19;2, 21;6&7,& 22;12&13.]
***Our ONE Creator GOD, the FATHER, Son,& Holy Spirit/’Wonderful, Counselor’ = SPIRIT…, Body,& Soul…,
and mankind is created in His, GOD’s “Image/Likeness”, “Spirit, Soul,& Body”, (See Genesis 1;27,& I Thessalonians 5;23).
Our ‘Everlasting FATHER’, “the Light of Life”, (John 8;12,Isaiah 60;19,& Revelation 21;23), “God is SPIRIT” (John 4;23&24)…,
and is the “Greater”…, (John 10;29&30,& 14;28), Entity of His 3 part Spiritual Being; Spirit…,
Body…, (Revelation 1;8,14-16, II Corinthians 4;4&6/Colossians 1;15,& John 12;44&45, 14;7&9)…,
& Soul. [One’s heart & mind, one’s thoughts, will,& emotions. (See Psalm 11;5,& Isaiah 1;14).]
***Ones Spirit, is the ‘Greater’ entity of one’s 3 part Spiritual Being. . .
(See John 6;63 ”The SPIRIT gives LIFE…, flesh counts for nothing…,”,& also II Corinthians 3;17).
The Body…, is the ‘Image’ or ‘Temple’, (I Corinthians 3;16), of one’s 3 part Spiritual Being…, 
(& Just as one’s body is subject to the SPIRIT; as a Spiritual Being, the ‘Son’ is subject to the ‘FATHER’).
& One’s Soul is the heart & mind; (One’s thoughts, will,& emotions. See Psalm 11;5,& Isaiah 1;14).
***The Word of ‘Truth’, (Christ), only reveals Himself, if & when…,
one gives up/releases preconceived ideas, or trust in man’s traditions. [See Matthew 18;18/13;15,& Isaiah 29;13…,
and Mark 7;7&9. Then also Luke 10;22-24,John 1;1,3,10,11&14,12;44&45,14;6,7,9&14/Proverbs 30;5&6/Hebrews 4;12/Revelation 19;11-13].
Again, when a Church ‘Prayer Leader’ prays/talks to God about Jesus as if Christ isn’t, HE, the Lord GOD Almighty is dishonored. (See John 5;23/12;45,& 14;7&9,& Revelation 1;8,13-18/21;6&7).
And when members of a congregation pray/talk to the Father about Jesus, (following the example of Church Leadership), saying “Father God forgive my sins. In faith I believe that your son Jesus died on that cross for me”…,
they are praying/talking to God about Jesus, as if HE isn’t God.
Question: are the Souls of that congregation being led & discipled to truly understand and “believe in Him”, ‘Immanuel’, the Almighty God to whom they pray? Has their Soul truly received Salvation through faith in,& “belief in” Him? (See John 3;16/Matthew 1;23/Isaiah 7;14,& 9;6).
“Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord…,’ and I will say to them plainly, away from me…, I never knew you.”
(Connect Deuteronomy 6;4 with Mathew 7;21,22&23,& Luke 2;26&11,& John 12;45,& 14;7&9,& Revelation 1;8,14-16, 21;6&7,& 22;12&13).
Do we truly “believe in Him”, Christ Jesus the Son, the Image of our one Creator God, ‘the Lord’ our Savior?
(Connect John 3;16/12;45/14;7&9,& Luke 10;22,& II Chronicles 7;14/Revelation 1;8,13-18/21;6&7/22;12&13).
***Again & again, when His, GOD’s Church Leaders pray/talk to the Father about Jesus as if HE isn’t…,
hearing our prayer,& is not included in the conversation, HE…,
our ONE Creator, the Almighty, ‘GOD our Savior’ is dishonored, and the congregations are misled.
[See, connect,& perceive I Timothy 1;1&2/Luke 1;47/Jude 1;25/Psalm 25;5,& John 5;23 & 12;45,14;7&9,8;19&58/Exodus 3;14/Revelation 1;8…,
& Revelation 1;13-18, 16;7, 21;6&7,& 22;12&13].

***The remedy to man’s ‘Selective Extraction’, which is the result of ‘Easy Believism’, would be…,
to faithfully ‘Connect the Dots’ of “the Word”.
***HE, “The Word” of ‘Truth’, Jesus Christ, (John 1;1,3,11&14/Proverbs 30;5&6,& John 14;6,7&9)…,
is not relative to, (or doesn’t accommodate or adjust to), what we understand or choose to believe.
And from past experience I realize that some, (if not many) who read this, won’t take the time to look up, and…,

Any disagreement you may have with this message (of ‘the Word’), remains between you and Him. . .
I’m just the messenger; and until that appointed time when we open our eyes and see Him, our ONE Creator, Almighty GOD’s face; through faith in His Word & Spirit, let’s pray,& ask Him to…,
