I boldly declare to you that our GOD IS ONE! And that our GOD IS a jealous GOD and will not share HIS glory with anyone. No human, no man-made idol or ideal compares to GOD ALMIGHTY, Jehovah (YHWH).

The LORD Our GOD Is One

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength…”

Exodus 20:1-5 And God spoke all these words, saying: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God…”

Exodus 34:13-14 But you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images (for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God)…

2 Kings 19:15-19 Then Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said: “O LORD God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. …Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands, and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were not gods, but the work of men’s hands—wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them. Now therefore, O LORD our God, I pray, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the LORD God, You alone.”

There Is No Other GOD, No Other Creator

In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the earth, and all that is upon and in them. Every creature that walks on the earth, flies in the sky or swims in the sea. All was created by this very same GOD. There is no other GOD. There is only ONE with the power to create and destroy; to give life or bring death. This CREATOR is the same ONE that breathed life into Adam.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

Isiah 42:5-9 Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it: “ I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house. I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

Isaiah 45:4-7 …”I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.”

[See also the Book of Job chapters 38-42.]

GOD Does Not Change

HE, our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, has not changed and will NEVER change. HE does not share HIS GLORY with anyone, but with the Son Jesus the Christ, who sits at HIS RIGHT HAND.

Hebrews 13:8-9 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried aboutwith various and strange doctrines.

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 8:1-2 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

GOD’s Son Makes Intercession

The same GOD sent HIS precious and Holy Son, Jesus the Christ, into this same world HE created to provide intercession for HIS creation, which had turned their backs on HIM in rebellion. Jesus makes it possible to bridge our separation from our CREATOR, GOD ALMIGHTY.

In John 3:14-21 Jesus explains to Nicodemus, “…even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

Why Make Intercession?

GOD loves us so much that HE sent HIS Only Begotten Son into this world, so that we could be turned back around to make peace with our CREATOR. For without GOD, there is only death. Jesus makes it possible for us to have eternal life with our CREATOR, GOD ALMIGHTY.

Romans 3:9-18 For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one”; “Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;” “Their feet are swift to shed blood; Destruction and misery are in their ways; And the way of peace they have not known”; “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Romans 6:16-18, 21-23 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. …What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

How Does Peace Come About?

Peace comes about through submission to our CREATOR, GOD ALMIGHTY’s will. When we confess that we cannot save ourselves and that only Christ Jesus can make salvation possible, we are honoring GOD. For it is HIS will that we follow HIS Son. For Christ Jesus is THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE and only in HIM can we attain true peace. So we must confess our sins, turn from them and look to Christ Jesus for salvation

Romans 10:9-13 …if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

Romans 5:1-3 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;

1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

Mark 10:23-28 Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

How We Know Christ Jesus Is THE WAY

Isaiah 7:13-15 Then he said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.

Isaiah 43:1-3, 10-11 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “ Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; …And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior.

Isaiah 53:11-12 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

But Why Is Christ Jesus Rejected?

When the Lord Jesus came, HE did not come in secret. HE did not reveal himself to only a few, but to all. As it turned out, only a few out of the many believe HIM.

Psalm 118:22 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

Matthew 21:42-44 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘ The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD’s doing.. . “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”

If the TRUTH shall set you free, then the TRUTH shall surely triumph over the great lie (that man can be GOD, as Satan suggested to Eve and Adam in the Garden of Eden, and is still suggesting to men). But I tell you this — the LIGHT will rid the world of the darkness and cause ALL men to see.

2 Corinthians 4:2-6 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

John 14:1-6 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know… I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

For the LIGHT is coming back into this world. And as HIS first coming was not in secret, neither shall HIS second coming be known only to a few. All will see and all will know when they look upon the LIGHT, Christ Jesus, that it is HE, the Only Begotten Son of GOD. The very same one that was born into the world through a virgin by the Hand of the Holy Spirit, will again by the Hand of the Holy Spirit be revealed to ALL the world. Not to just a few, but to ALL.

Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

And there is nothing you can do of yourself for this revelation (to witness it or bring it about), because ALL power and ALL glory rests with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (i.e., GOD ALMIGHTY, Jesus the Christ).

Look Upward, Not Inward, For Salvation

Colossians 3:1-11 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. …anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him…

Christ Jesus does not want to take over your soul (or your mind). HE only wants to nourish it. HE wants to heal it, to make it whole. That can only happen when you turn back to GOD, and only Christ Jesus shows us the way. And when you accept HIM, Christ Jesus instead gives you HIS Holy Spirit (who makes all things new), who will lead you and guide you in all things to the FATHER, our CREATOR, GOD ALMIGHTY. The Holy Spirit does not put you on equal footing with GOD or Christ Jesus, but instead He teaches you how to be obedient to the FATHER’S will. We are the creation; we can never be equal to the CREATOR, for there is only ONE.

There is only one man who can go before the Father (GOD ALMIGHTY) for us. There is only one man who can plead our case. There is only one man who can make us whole. This is the same Christ Jesus, and being one with GOD, HE is before the FATHER always, making intercession for us.

Call on the name of Jesus Christ and confess your sins. Ask the LORD to heal you and lead you back to FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY. Tell HIM you want to be saved and that you believe it is only through HIM that it is possible. HE listens to the sincere hearts and responds.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit… 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. …9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
