Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the Name of
the One who Paul says “….be strong in the Lord and in the
power of His might” (Ephesians 6:10). Our strength comes
from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. It’s in His name
that I greet you.
Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Only
True God” - - There is but one God and He has been
manifested in a three-fold manner. And this three-fold
manifestation was not intended to establish a “Three
Person” God idea according to scriptures, but instead, it
was to reveal unto mankind that there was a true and living
God who loved them so much that his plan was to show
them in three manifestations, His everlasting love for them.
Don’t get it twisted! Deuteronomy 6:4 our God has always
introduced Himself as “One” True God—”Hear O’ Israel,
the Lord our God is one Lord”. But for four-thousand years
God has patiently waited to execute His plan in motion, and
that plan was to personally visit and redeem His people in a
panoply (or covering) of flesh.
Precious Ones, remember, God appeared unto His
people in various forms, or as Paul said in Hebrews 1:1,
“God at sundry (various) times in divers (or different)
manners spake in times past into the fathers…”. And
according to Exodus 3:14, 15 and Isaiah 43:10 & 11, God
declared what His character would be and His Name would
mean to us. “I am that I am: the Lord God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob—- this is my name forever” (or– this is what my
name will mean forever—Abraham—past, Isaac—present,
Jacob—future). “And again, ye are my witnesses—that ye
may know and believe that I am He: before me there was no
God formed, neither shall be after me. I am the Lord—
besides me there is NO savior”.
I will write more on this subject next week,
Until then, know this
I love you all so very much
In His love, your servant,
Bishop William L McCoy
