Women’s Portion for Today: Friday March 08
Remember! YHVH the Father is the Giver of the Holy Word; YHVH the Son is the Theme of the Word; YHVH the Holy Spirit is the Author of the Word; He makes the Word True and interprets it for us. (Prayer: Holy Spirit, my family and I pray that Your Love may burn within our hearts. Strengthen us with Your Power. Allow our spiritual insight to be clear and equip us to serve You in truth, amein)
Psalm 37:11, “But the humble will inherit the earth and delight in abundant peace.” David does not directly mention the new heaven or new earth, however this verse should cause us to consider if he had some insight about these things. Will those who bow down to the Creator receive this current earth as an inheritance or is David eluding to the humble receiving a new earth, remade perfect by our Creator? Would the perfect Father offer His children something that is broken and cursed when He has the means to give them the very best He has to offer?
The Holy Spirit in relation to Father...
Another Trinitarian question which I have been searching for an answer for years now.
2 Cor 3 talks about the Holy Spirit.
v3 says: "You show that you are a letter from Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts."
v8: "how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more glorious and splendid?"
Now in 2 Cor 3:17 it actually says that the Spirit is Father and not that Father merely sends the Spirit: "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty"
For me v17 indicates that the Holy Spirit isn't a separate entity, but Father's own spirit which He sends out. This might be difficult for us to understand as our spirit is bound to our physical bodies till death. But is this true for a spirit being?
I was taught that the Holy Spirit is a separate entity as it is seen in the form of a dove coming down on Yeshua, but that scene description might just be a rudimentary description by the writers to describe a wave of light/spirit moving over/onto Yeshua at baptism.
It might still have been Father Himself being seen in His spiritual form (as if He has any other form...). Hence why Father's face is always "hidden" within a light. That "light" is Father's visible form.
What are your thought on this?

And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
#exodus 37:6 #vayakhel
"Mercy seat" is a terrible translation of kaporet. It's the lid for the Ark of the Covenant and the word literally means covering or lid, so why not just translate that way?
