Kneeling Before Our King

בּרך bârak (baw-rak')

בּרך bârak (baw-rak')

A primitive root; to kneel; by implication to bless God (as an act of adoration), and (vice-versa) man (as a benefit); also (by euphemism) to curse (God or the king, as treason): - X abundantly, X altogether, X at all, blaspheme, bless, congratulate, curse, X greatly, X indeed, kneel (down), praise, salute, X still, thank.

God the Creator

"Creator God, I praise you because you made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you'. . . . " (Nehemiah 9:6).

When the Holy Spirit speaks to you and actually says, to kneel and give God the praise for what He has done, do you reluctantly except the word given?

Being a newbie to the Holy Spirit's ways can be a trial and error experience. To listen to or not to listen, is the question you may find yourself asking each time He speaks. I always ask, "Is that the Holy Spirit?" and then think, "OK, who else would ask me to be humble and ask me to be thankful for the miracle. Oh, our bodies have so much to learn about Heavenly matters. I thank Him for sending His spirit to live in side of us. When He does prompt you to do something which glorifies the Lord God Almighty, I have found it is better to do it quickly, or you will miss out on a wonderful growth experience.

The Holy Spirit is a gentleman, He will not tell you to do anything that will harm you. On the contrary our bodies may not want to because of some hidden pride inside and it may be a test you need to pass, are you willing to let Him work in you? Oh, yes these human bodies are not accustom to the ways of the spiritual, supernatural realm and so it becomes a trial and error in giving God the glory for the things He does in your life.

I remember the prompting the Holy Spirit first gave me about going to my knees. I delayed and walked a few steps but then obeyed. I went down on my knees and thanked Him for what He had just done. Being thankful enough was just not going to cut it that time I had to learn to be more humble and go to my knees.

Then another time, while in prayer one Sunday with someone else, I had been seeking prayer in agreement for healing. At the end of the prayer we came in agreement to have a Jesus Blood Transfusion. The moment the request for it was asked, I felt and saw, dark red, coming over me and as it covered me completely I went quickly to my knees. I remember having the filling I could not get low enough because He, Jesus was so worthy of all my Praise and all the thankfulness I could display. For me it was a very humbling moment, but yet a very wonderful and beautiful one, knowing the prayer was answered. We do have one Amazing God, He is always Amazing me, and I will forever be giving him all the Praise He deserves.

The Trinity Signature

The four eternal symbols concealed in Genesis and Revelation are related in a peculiar manner. The pattern, which is also found spectacularly in the 66 books of the Bible, appears to be a key signature of the Triune God.

Observe how the two sets of Trinity symbols relate. Given a set of three elements, there are exactly three distinct ways of pairing them: AB, BC & AC. That is precisely the Trinity signature! It exudes perfect harmony and unity and adds intriguing insights to the 4 ages pointed to by the 4 symbols.

    1. The Passover Age was fulfilled by Jesus, the LIGHT of the World (John 1:4-5, 8:12).
    2. LIGHT is the symbol of the Son.
    3. He was sent by the Father. (John 3:16, 17:25)
    4. The Father provided the Son as the Passover Lamb -- the burnt offering sacrifice (Gen 22:8, 10).
    5. The Father prepared a BODY for the Son (Heb 10:5).
    6. The BODY or TEMPLE is the symbol of the Father.

The above describes the first pair of symbols: LIGHT-TEMPLE. The first symbol is LIGHT and the last symbol is TEMPLE. The Son manifested in the symbol of the Father, TEMPLE.

    1. The Pentecost Age was fulfilled by the Spirit, who was poured out as Living WATER (John 7:38-39).
    2. WATER is the symbol of the Spirit.
    3. He was sent by the Son (John 15:26, 16:7).
    4. The Son provided the Spirit as the Comforter, the Spirit of truth (John 15:26).
    5. The words of Jesus (John 16:13-14) are ILLUMINED by the Spirit. The Spirit is the Seven Lamps of Fire burning before the throne of God (Rev 4:5).
    6. LIGHT is the symbol of the Son.

The above describes the second pair of symbols: WATER-LIGHT. The first symbol is WATER and the last symbol is LIGHT. The Spirit manifested in the symbol of the Son, LIGHT.

    1. The Tabernacles Age will be fulfilled by the Father as He will TABERNACLE with His people during the Millennial Kingdom (Eze 37:26-27).
    2. The TABERNACLE or TEMPLE is the symbol of the Father.
    3. The Holy Spirit comes in the form of the Shekinah cloud, manifesting the presence of the Father.
    4. The Spirit pours out the blessings of the Father by sending abundant RAIN (Zec 14:17-18) and inundating the world with the knowledge of God "for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the WATERS cover the sea." (Isa 11:9)
    5. WATER is the symbol of the Spirit.

The above describes the third pair of symbols: TEMPLE-WATER. The first symbol is TEMPLE and the last symbol is WATER. The Father manifested in the symbol of the Spirit, WATER.

  • The Son whose symbol is LIGHT, ministers with the Father's symbol, TEMPLE.
  • The Spirit whose symbol is WATER, ministers with the Son's symbol, LIGHT.
  • The Father whose symbol is TEMPLE, ministers with the Spirit's symbol, WATER.

By joining the two sets of Trinity symbols shown below, an interesting pattern is formed. The number 888 (Greek gematria of JESUS) is hidden in the pattern!

Intrinsic in the name of Jesus (888) is the Trinity signature illustrated above. The Triune God is indeed the Alpha and the Omega -- the first(1st) is the last(8th) and the last(8th) is the first(1st).

TheTabernacle of Moses: Feasts & Symbols by John Tng

The Trinity


In summary, here is the structure of the physical world as it now exists from the face of the Earth upwards:

  • The lower sea of physical waters (our seas and oceans)
  • The first heaven (the atmosphere)
  • The second heaven (outer space)
  • The sea above outer space and below the third heaven (a sea of separation)
  • And above it all, there is the Third Heaven.

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."
(Ephesians 3:17-19 KJV)

The structure of the heavens is a recurring theme throughout the Bible. It is reinforced (in typology) throughout the Bible. For example, it is likened to the floors of a building, which we call "stories," and sure enough, the same word is even used in the KJV Bible.

1. To describe the design of the heavens:

"[It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name."
(Amos 9:6 KJV)

2. This pattern of three (3) levels is also found is some other important things in the Bible, an example being the description of the design of Noah's Ark:

"A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it."
(Genesis 6:16 KJV)

3. To describe the construction of the Temple:

"The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows [were] covered;"
(Ezekiel 41:16 KJV)

The Firmament, Third Heaven, and Structure of Things Biblical

Pray for help and open eyes to see it. God
wants to open our eyes to see His help for us (Genesis 21:19) And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

As I read the articles to the links above, about the Trinity and the Third Heaven, I noticed they correlated with a lot of my dreams and visions. Each of us are promised in the Word that we will receive all gifts from the Father above, when we seek His face. The way the Holy Spirit speaks to each of us is personable and unique to what our own needs are. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with the Father fulfilling our Divine Purpose for living. Whether it be an intercessor, a pastor, a singer, a musician, etc., the Holy Spirit will equip us with what we need.

The dictionary description of spiritual gifts (or charismata) are endowments given by the Holy Spirit.[1] These are the supernatural graces which individual Christians need to fulfill the mission of the church.[2][3] They are described in the New Testament, primarily in 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4. 1 Peter 4 also touches on the spiritual gifts.[1] The gifts are related to both seemingly "natural" abilities and seemingly more "miraculous" abilities, but all spiritual gifts are empowered by the Holy Spirit.[3] Spiritual gifts are distinguished from other graces of the Holy Spirit, such as the fruit of the Spirit and the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit, in that the charismata are to be used for the benefit of others while the fruit of the Spirit and the Isaiahan gifts result in personal sanctification.[4] The two major opposing theological positions on the nature of the charismata are cessationism and continuationism (see also Cessationism versus Continuationism).

Father, we thank You for loving us so much that You gave Your Son as the final sacrifice which put in motion Your merciful plan that connects us back to You. We thank You for Your mighty Holy Spirit, the sweet Holy Spirit that fills our cups to over flowing. Holy Spirit we need more of you. We need all supernatural understanding of the Word, supernatural Strength and supernatural Wisdom, to accomplish what you have put us here on Earth to accomplish. Consume us from the inside out, that people we encounter only see the Father's love in us and that all we say and all we do, Lord, is for Your Glory! Help us to take your Word literally and put it into action as Jesus did throughout His ministry here on Earth. Help us to help others, whether it be an encouraging word, physically, or giving to a financial need. Thank You, Lord for Your unfailing and merciful love. Amen.
