ACTS 17:24-26 24 “THE GOD WHO MADE THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS THE LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND DOES NOT LIVE IN TEMPLES BUILT BY HANDS, AND HE IS NOT SERVED BY HUMAN HANDS, AS IF HE NEEDED ANYTHING, BECAUSE HE HIMSELF GIVES ALL MEN LIFE AND BREATH AND EVERYTHING ELSE. FROM ONE MAN HE MADE EVERY NATION OF MEN THAT THEY SHOULD INHABIT THE WHOLE EARTH; AND HE DETERMINED THE TIMES SET FOR THEM AND THE EXACT PLACES WHERE THEY SHOULD LIVE.
I COR: 15:45-50, SO IT IS WRITTEN: “THE FIRST MAN ADAM BECAME A LIVING BEING”; THE LAST ADAM (JESUS CHRIST), A LIFE–GIVING SPIRIT. THE SPIRITUAL DID NOT COME FIRST, BUT THE NATURAL, AND AFTER THAT THE SPIRITUAL. THE FIRST MAN WAS OF THE DUST OF THE EARTH, THE SECOND MAN FROM HEAVEN. AS WAS THE EARTHLY MAN, SO ARE THOSE WHO ARE OF THE EARTH; AND AS IS THE MAN FROM HEAVEN, SO ALSO ARE THOSE WHO ARE OF HEAVEN. AND JUST AS WE HAVE BORNE THE LIKENESS OF THE EARTHLY MAN, SO SHALL WE BEAR THE LIKENESS OF THE MAN FROM HEAVEN. I DECLARE TO YOU, BROTHERS, THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, NOR DOES THE PERISHABLE INHERIT THE IMPERISHABLE.
PRAYER: LORD WE THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE SPIRIT AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP YOU MUST DO SO IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. PLEASE GIVE US UNDERSTANDING SO WE WILL NOT FOCUS ON WHAT IS SEEN, BUT WHAT IS UNSEEN. CLEAR OUR MINDS FROM OUR OWN IMAGINATIONS AND FILL OUR MINDS WITH YOUR TRUTH. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING US WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT WHICH MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO HAVE A PERSONAL INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY AMEN
Amen- Hallelujah- Glory be to God- Praise the Lord and let us all thank Him. Amen
Exactly the truth and nothing but. Give thanks
While God is Spirit, it was impossible for Him to die therefore He sent His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ in the form of sinful man, yet without sin to become sin for us on the cross, pay the penalty for our sin, that we might have the gift of eternal life through Him. Hebrew 9:27-28, “and as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement: So, Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto Salvation. and in Hebrews 10:4-5 he says For it was impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Wherefore, when He cometh into the world He said,”Sacrifice an offering thou wouldest not but a Body has thou prepared for Me. Note, that Christ will appear the second time in the same Resurrected Body he departed in to Rule. Acts 1 states when He departed, “Ye men of Galilee why stand you gazing up into heaven, This same Jesus will come again in like manner as you see Him go into Heaven. While we worship God in spirit and Truth we must understand that Jesus is coming back to reign in the flesh. The only one of the Godhead to have put on flesh for us. – God Bless you
Well thoughtout comment. If more of us would consider what you have written, we would not do as we do, or think as we think. Living our lives for God is easy. When one considers what God has done for him, choosing God’s way becomes easy. To worship God out of fear of going to some place other then the place that He has prepared for those who truly love Him is superficial love, and God being who and what He is knows when our love is tainted. We should all love God for the fact that, He created a way for Him to show us how much He loves us, even after we failed Him. God sustains us out of the same love in which he created us. When we make choices that line up with God’s will for His creation (us), we clearly see and understand His love for us, but when we choose to go against God’s will for us, we base God’s love upon what our perception of what love is. Loving God is a choice. Either you love Him or you don’t!!!!!!
Amen!
Amen
“Dearest Lord, look past the blindness of our eyes.
And help us see truth as the eons of times flies.
The values you taught reside in our soul.
Let the lessons of life, to love God be our goal.
Walk with us, Lord through the harshness of life.
And smooth over all the innumerable strife.
I ask your blessing from God for everyone.
Especially since He in greatness sent His beloved
son.
“To one and all…bless you everyone.
It make me sick!, to see US black People acting like this. The white and black devil has tricked us and had us worship a fake God and force us into slavery. If you can study biblical history then you can study your history. God didn’t put his people in bondage he told us round them up and destroy them because they are not like us, they dangerous to us Black People and the earth. If you don’t belived me take a minute to think about where we are and the earth are under white people rule.
AMEN!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH god doesn’t exist
You must be a Ju Ju Bean. Ha Ha Ha.
God is spirit his son is God in the flash; and that`s who will return to us. For god had to send flash to redeam us, and that is his son Jesue Christ. Rejoyce all you beleavers Aman
Yes God is a spirit but you are completely Blind if you think that the spiritual did not come first..Complete idiots…As you quoted(I COR: 15:45-50, SO IT IS WRITTEN: “THE FIRST MAN ADAM BECAME A LIVING BEING”; THE LAST ADAM (JESUS CHRIST), A LIFE–GIVING SPIRIT. THE SPIRITUAL DID NOT COME FIRST, BUT THE NATURAL, AND AFTER THAT THE SPIRITUAL.)
Jesus was a spirit before he was made into flesh which means the spiritual came first. Jesus is the word of God and the bible says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. God is a spirit and the first adam was a spirit before God put flesh on him and the same situation happen to Jesus too. Jesus was a spirit before God put flesh on him… you idiot..since Jesus was a spirit before he recieved flesh that means the spirit came first then the flesh.(As you quoted: THE SPIRITUAL DID NOT COME FIRST, BUT THE NATURAL, AND AFTER THAT THE SPIRITUAL) Please read the bible in context and stop creating false doctrine. As for you folks who agreed with that horrible interpretation go to your bible and read this:Rev 22:15 because you are two steps away from going to h**l for believing a lie.
To God be the Glory! Thank you for acknowledging the Lord; Please provide more Biblical Verses like this. We need positiveness to read about. God Bless in Jesus Name.
The whole universe awaits the revealing of the sons of God. Since Christ stated that no one comes to the Father but by him and it is Christ in us the hope of glory, as Christ is glorified now and all power is given into His hands, we as potential sons of God must be willing to allow Christ to live his holy righteous life within us. Christ being the vine and we being the branches by analogy. It is clearly stated that God The Father has given Christ the ability to have life within Himself. Just as Christ and the Father are one and were one when he walked the earth, so we must be one with Christ. He is our life force spiritually and we are encouraged to have the mind that he had which was the mind of God The Father. Sons obey their father and keep His rules. These are the tenants of government and family is government. The Kingdom of God is a government ruled by the family known as God. Jesus did say, “Did I not say that you shall be as gods?” “All that is The Father’s is Mine.”
Can any of you bible thumpers tell me exactly how you know about this god? Can you tell me what has praying to this god, done anything for you? Millions of people, that are on their death beds, pray to some mystical being, but that doesn’t stop them from dying, just like the billions of people in China, and around the world, who doesn’t believe in this ghost. Now go ahead, and tell me that I’m going to h**l, but that’s OK, because I will be shaking hands with all of you, when they through that dirt on our corpses.
By the way, how many of you bible thumpers,are organ donors? I am one, and I believe that if you people are so d**n godly, that you can easily show it by helping someone else, who needs an organ to live. There are millions of people dying every day because of selfish bible thumpers like you, that proselytizes about doing god’s work, but actually does nothing at all. You people, would rather the ants eat your body, and it rot in the ground, than to help someone else to live.
thank you, Moonhead. I couldn’t have said it better! This god and jesus nonsense is the reason why we Black people are in the pathetic shape we are in now. Religion changes nothing; we are still persecuted every day on a grand scale. It is so sad to see seemingly intelligent people giving their money to snake oil salesmen, praying to the sky, and happily shifting all of their problems aside for jesus to work them out! Living in a fairy tale. When Trayvon Martin’s mother discovered that Zimmerman lied about his supposed injuries she happily exclaimed,”god is good!” Really?? and she had just lost her son! Where was god then???
Jesus is not coming back to reign in flesh (in the body he died) as he was — It the holy spirit is to reign in the people… us humans in the physical world to help guide our thoughts toward one another with love and compassion. It’s not what you believe my brother it’s what you do.
***Just a tip read up on how the text within the bible(new testament first than old testament) was put together and who was responsible and made all the decisions. This will help many bible thump-ers use the bible properly.Instead of using the text as a dictator we can allow it to function as the tool it truly is.
I Love the God in people….I Love Truth in every form…I find Equity at every Good Path…
Thank you HEAVENLY FATHER, for your presence and spirit in our lives. Thank you in giving us comfort as we go through our trials and tribulations on this earth.
Thank you for letting us wake up and see your glory everyday! To see how you make a way out of know way. To see your power!!!! Amen.
How do you genderize a spirit?
Black folk are made in the Image of, yet we have so little understanding.
Perhaps that is the problem. We’ve been “standing” “under” too long. We’ve never needed a “middle man” to connect with the God Essence. Just like our /Earthly children can come directly to us as parents, we can come directly to our Cosmic Source/Parents. The language to speak to “God” is in us, just like we can communicate with our children with utterances and body language.
For those who will hate on this post…. I completely understand your unfaltering faithfulness and do not wish to offend. I was once there too. But I’ve gotten off that ship a long time ago and live freely in the “Christ” consciousness. In the Beginning was the word, the Word was with God, the Word was God, the Word became flesh.
We are the Word that became Flesh. Our WORD has been distorted and made carnal by oppressors who don’t have the same spiritual foresight as we as people of melanin do. That’s why black folk are known to have so much “soul”.
So with all the scholarship we have acquired throughout our oppression in these lands, and the spiritual “knowing” that has never left us, we should by now be able to figure that you don’t Learn God through a book that has been edited and published, if indeed God is Spirit. We learn God THROUGH Spirit.
We have to reverse this thing. Vain imaginations are brought on by what we read, see, and hear externally. If you are truly to worship the God Essence/Life Force that dwells in you, then we must silence the carnal world around us so the Spirit can truly Speak.
The best place is probably out in nature around the Spirit of Life, all that is Living. Not in a dead pew (cut down trees) or a concrete building.
Black folk get all heated up in church, and that spiritual heat resonates within dead walls. Try your worship outside like our ancestors used to, where the essence of our prayers will spiral upward, and the energy of life rejoices in our spiritual vibrations.
Take to the hills black people and deal with God face to face.

Please read Genesis Chapter 6 verse 1-8 (KJV)
The Wickedness of Mankind
1 And it came to pass, when (men began to multiply) on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 that the (sons of God) saw the (daughters of men) that they were fair; and (they took them wives) of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, (My Spirit shall not always strive with man), for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the (sons of God came in unto the daughters of men), and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 ¶ And GOD saw that the (wickedness of man) was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it (repented the LORD) that he had made man on the earth, and it (grieved him at his heart).
7 And the LORD said, (I will destroy man whom I have created) from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for (it repenteth me that I have made them).
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
There are Humans (hue mans), mankind (kind of man), and man (WombMan)
Please google Dr. Blair. There are distinctions made in scripture if you have eyes to see.
Know thy self
G-D IS NOT A SPIRIT OR SPIRIT,BECAUSE HE CREATED SPIRIT.
Dear people the Creator of creation is above what he created.
Sun,moon,galaxy,man and woman etc.
AMEN AMEN AMEN THANK YOU JESUS
