When the Spirit of God, the Logos, the Word, which God said, "Let there be," and there went the Logos, which is the Word. And the Word begin to... 'cause all this was in the Logos; the whole Word of God, the whole Bible, for every age. And as the Logos begin to breathe upon the earth, there come marine life; and building up, the bird life, on up to animal life. And finally there come something in the representation, or looked like the thing that was brewing it, brooding over it, God, a man in the very image of God.''

    :''That man fell, like the seed has to fall. And then God begin to brood over that, after the fall. He brought up a--a Enoch, He brought up a Elijah, He brought up a Moses, He brought up prophet after prophet, trying to restore that image again. And, finally, upon the earth came the genuine image of God Himself again, which was God, the Logos made flesh and dwelt among us.''

Which, the--the prophets was carriers to that Seed, and the church denominations has been carriers to the Seed now. Now notice, quickly, but like the shuck hugs, holds in the Seed now, then it leaves her.''

    Revision as of 03:47, 22 July 2014

    The Word of God created the world, and is the first physical manifestation of God that we can understand. The Word of God also spoke with Adam in the garden of Eden, to Moses out of a burning bush, to John the Baptist when the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus, and to the apostle Paul as a great shining light. The Word of God is both the promise of God and the manifestation of God.

    Jesus said that he came from God, and would go back to God (John 13:3). The meaning of this is revealed in the book of Acts, when the Pillar of Fire says: "I am Jesus" (Acts 9:3-6). Jesus was the Word that had come from God, and descended into Adam's race to become the Son of God and Son of Man. After his resurrection, Jesus returned to Heaven, to the glory that he had with the Father before the world was. The Word first became flesh in the life of Jesus Christ, and again became flesh on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit anointed over 120 disciples waiting for the promise of the Father.


    O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. (Jeremiah 22:29)

    Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. (John 15:3)


    The visible Logos
