I make it my purpose in life to know the word of God and correct or at least take a stand against heresy. The believe that Holy Spirit is anything but third person of the Godhead, co-equal in substance, power, and glory with God the Father and Jesus the Son is blasphemy against Holy Spirit. He is not a ghost and referring to Him as Holy Ghost is heretical. He is a Person. He is co-equal to God the Father and God the Son. He works to glorify the Son from whom He proceeds. He is not created by the Son but rather proceeds from the Son like a soldier proceeds from an officer. He is a part of the Godhead and is a person who can be grieved, (Ephesians 4:30) and saddened by our sin. He is our Comforter and our teacher. He is Who He is. ![]() ![]() Have I dumped all of my emotions and worries on God? Do I trust him to handle all of my problems?" I never worry or fret over issues. I know that any mountain I face God is right there with me. In Haggai the high priest Zerrubabel was facing a mountain. He had just returned to Jerusalem and had the daunting task of rebuilding the temple. He was standing there facing a mountain of stones and debris that had formerly been the temple. The people had set up the altar and then basically abandoned the work to rebuild their homes. Zerrubabel was depressed and lethargic. God sent Haggai to cheer him up. Haggai tells Zerubabel to say "Grace, Grace" over this mountain in his life and God will remove it. Jesus references this incident in Matthew when Jesus says that if we have just a mustard seed size grain of faith we can say to the mountains in our lives "Cast yourself into the sea" and they will be removed. Where is your mustard seed to say "Grace, grace" to your mountains? ![]() ![]() Read this item:
