Commentary: God
is Thought.
All thoughts were/are originated by/from God. God’s
good thoughts are His good
angels (words, spirits) that are not seen nor heard by
unsaved
people because Satan “hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their
heart” (John
12:40) and “the carnal mind is enmity against God” (Rom 8:7). God’s perverted thoughts
are His
originally good thoughts that have now become changed
(altered, distorted) by Lucifer/Satan’s self-centered pride
into evil angels (words, spirits),
bad angels, fallen angels (shudder), devils, demons, unclean spirits,
that
continuously dwell in our minds, influencing, controlling, and ultimately seeking to
utterly destroy and kill all people,
saved and unsaved alike.
GOD’S
THOUGHTS (WORDS) ARE IN
HIS ANGELS (THE LOGOS SEED) WHO SERVE HIM
(Gen 28:12-15) And he [Jacob] dreamed,
and behold
[Heb: see]
a ladder [Heb: a
stair case] set up on the earth,
and
the top of it reached to heaven [step
by step, i.e., the pathway to God]:
and behold [Heb:
see] the angels [Heb: messengers] [i.e., words, containers of God’s
thoughts] of God ascending
and descending on it [John
1:51]. And, behold
[Heb:
see], the LORD stood above it, and
said, [1] [THE PROMISE
(LOGOS SEED)
THAT GOD SPOKE IN THE FORM OF DESCENDING ANGELS:] I am the
LORD God of
Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to
thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be
as the dust of
the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east,
and to
the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall
all the
families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep
thee [Heb: to hedge
about, guard, protect] in all places whither thou goest, and will
bring thee again into this
land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that
which I have spoken to thee of.

Commentary: “the
LORD… said” = sent the message in a
series of angels (words, sentences,
containers of Gods thoughts)
descending
from God to Jacob and a series of angels (words, sentences, prayers, containers of Godly
thoughts) ascending to God from Jacob (Gen 8:20-22).
GOD’S SERVANTS AND HIS SOLDIERS ARE
ANGELS
BE A GOOD SOLDIER FOR THE LORD IN THE
TRAINING CAMP OF THIS
WORLD
(2 Tim 2:3,4)
Thou [you] therefore endure
hardness [Gk: undergo hardship:
endure afflictions, suffer trouble], as a good soldier [Gk: warrior] of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth [Gk: entwines] himself with the affairs of
this life; that he
may
please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

good =
Gk: good (literally or morally), valuable,

SERVANTS AND SOLDIERS:
A TYPE AND SHADOW OF HEAVEN
(Mat 8:5-10)
And when Jesus was entered into
Capernaum [Heb: a village (as
protected by walls) /// comfortable], there came unto him a
centurion [Gk: a Roman captain of one hundred
men], beseeching [pleading with] him, And saying, Lord
[Gk: kurios; supreme in authority], my servant [Gk: pais; boy]
lieth at home sick of the
palsy [Gk: paralytic], grievously tormented
[Gk: tortured: in pain, tossed,
vexed]. And Jesus saith unto him, I
will come and heal him. The
centurion answered and said, [THE CENTURION
DISPLAYS HIS UNDERSTANDING:] Lord, I am
not worthy [the lowest degree of
self-respect, i.e., showing great humility] that thou shouldest come under my
roof [and hence under my hospitality and
authority]: but speak the word [send your soldiers (angels)] only, and my servant shall be
healed [Gk: made whole]. For I am a
man under authority [1] [as are you], having soldiers under me
[which are a type and shadow of
your angels (words) under you, and your
words (angels) are “quick (Gk: alive), and powerful” Heb 4:12]: and I say [words (power)] to this man
[to my soldier as you do to
your angel], Go, and he goeth; and to another,
Come, and he cometh; and to my
servant [2], Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard it, he
marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily
[Gk: truth] I say unto you, I have not
found so great [Gk: large, much] faith [Gk: belief] [UNDERSTANDING], no, not in
1.
authority = Dict: 1. a) the power or right
to give commands, enforce obedience,
take action, or make final decisions; jurisdiction b) the position of
one having
such power (a person in authority). 2. such power as delegated to
another;
authorization; warrant (he has my authority to do it).
2.
servant = 1401 doulos;
a slave (lit. or fig., involuntarily or voluntarily;
frequently therefore in a qualified sense of subjection or
subserviency): bond
(- man), servant.
OUR AUTHORITY AND SUPERNATURAL
POWER IN HEAVEN AND THE UNIVERSE
AS A SERVANT OR
AS A GOOD SOLDIER (A FRIEND) OF JESUS CHRIST
(John 15:15)
Henceforth I call you [His disciples] not
servants [Gk: 1401 doulos;
a slaves]; for the servant
knoweth [Gk: understands] not what his lord doeth [i.e., the
Bible: John 1:14]: but I have called you friends [1]; for all things that I have
heard of my Father I have made known [Gk: declared, given to understand) unto you. [2]
1.
friends = Gk: dear,
a friend;
actively fond, friendly (an associate, neighbor, etc.).
2.
Commentary: we
who are saved are all first
“servants” (soldiers, “among thorns”
(a) of Jesus Christ, and then some
of us also become “friends”
(centurions, “good ground”
(b) of Jesus Christ.
a.
(Luke 8:14)
And that which fell among
thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go
forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and
bring no fruit to
perfection [Gk: maturity].
b.
(Luke 8:15)
But that on the good
ground are they, which in an honest and good heart,
having heard the word [“and understandeth
it” Mat 13:23], keep it,
and bring forth fruit
with
patience.
Amen

FOR THOUGHT (A
PROGRESSING COMPILATION)
God is Love. The brightness of our
revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building
blocks.
God is Thought. We who are saved, redeemed, imputed
for righteousness, born-again, are spiritually ascending and descending
Jacob’s
ladder (Gen 28:12; John 1:51) in meditation (inner thoughts) and prayer
(manifested thoughts). Thoughts are
Life (they move). Words are a product of thought. God’s angels are His
manifested Thoughts (His Words). God is Spirit. The
Holy Spirit of God
is the conglomerate of all His Angels (all His Holy Thoughts) who are
created
as Spirits (Psa 104:4; Heb 1:7). Angels are His
manifested Spirit. God
is the eternal Spirit from which all things that
are the entire
manifested universe was/is being created. All S(s)pirits originate as God’s
Thoughts. You are a transitional part of God’s Spirit (Eccl
12:7); you will become either
an eternal Heavenly Spirit,
or an eternal fallen spirit. The
Garden of Eden is a type and
shadow of Heaven. All the trees in the Garden of Eden are
fruit trees
(Gen 1:11,12,29; 2:9,16,17) symbolizing Angels
(Heb: messengers) whose
fruit is God’s message (Gal
5:22,23; Eph 5:9 & Rev 22:2). Men are fruit trees (Mat 7:15-20;
12:33; Luke
3:9). The S(s)pirits of men are A(a)ngels (Rev 19:9,10; 22:8,9).
