The Trinity Pt. 1: Is It In The Bible?

The term Trinity is often used in the Christian community to describe God. Within the Trinity, you have the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Many people believe that this is a man-made belief as the term ‘Trinity’ is never used in the Bible. So, does that mean that there is no evidence for the Trinity in the Bible?

The Trinity

The Trinity In The Bible

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Genesis 1:26-27

4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

Genesis 2:4

15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.”

Exodus 3:15

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made.

John 1:1-3

1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Hell Pt. 6: Is The Lake of Fire The Holy Spirit?

The Lake of Fire is only mentioned by name four times in Scripture; each time, it’s in the book of Revelation. It’s described as the Second Death that the wicked are thrown into after the Last Judgment. Some claim that this Lake of Fire is the Holy Spirit. What exactly does that mean? How can the final punishment of the wicked be the Holy Spirit? Join ArieRashelle as she searches for the answer to these questions in her video, Hell Pt. 6: Is The Lake of Fire The Holy Spirit?

The Lake of Fire

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. From His presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:11-15

The Holy Spirit

11 I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn, but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.

The Promise of Pentecost

2,000 years ago, 120 disciples of Jesus sat in the Upper Room praying and waiting, in accord, for the promise of the Holy Spirit. It was Pentecost Sunday, around 9 am, when the power of God rushed into the Upper Room like a mighty rushing wind. Tongues of fire rested upon each and every head. The promise of the Holy Spirit had come. Pentecost had been fulfilled. 2,000 years later, we take all of this for granted. We don’t fully grasp what that meant for the Church and the world that day. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the grave importance of Pentecost in his fiery Pentecost Sunday message, The Promise of Pentecost.

The Coming of The Holy Spirit

1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Where’s the Power?

The Feast of Shavuot was celebrated from the time of Moses. When the Day of Pentecost (Shavuot) had come in its entirety, the followers of Christ were together in one accord in the Upper Room. When they were in the Upper Room, the Holy Spirit came and filled all in the Upper Room with the Holy Spirit and His power. 2,000 years later, what happened to the power of the Holy Spirit that came down and filled those in the Upper Room? Does the Church still have power today? What does Joel’s prophecy in Joel 2 mean for the Church?

17 And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; 18 even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

Demons Flee When We Worship

When we worship, the Spirit of the LORD enters in, and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom. Jesus didn’t abandon us here to be alone. Instead, He sent The Holy Spirit to dwell inside of us and guide us. He left us blueprints on how to win every battle that we have to face in life.

3 Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel (His people).

Psalms 22:3

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

2 Corinthians 3:17

The LORD dwells in the praises of His people. So when we worship the LORD comes down to meet us and dwells in our worship. And where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom and demons must flee.

The Power of Worship

31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, God listens to him.

John 9:31

1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:1-2

Jesus didn’t abandon us, He sent His Spirit. So that when we worship, we might enter into His presence and overcome all that comes against us.

The Authority of The Name of Jesus

It’s been said that the Church no longer has any power. Yet others say that the same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives in us. If that’s true, where does that power come from?

Authority in Jesus

Matthew 18:18-20

17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

The Spirit of Prophecy

In the Church today, the Gifts of The Holy Spirit are taught to have been taken away and are no longer for us. The two most preached against gifts are prophecy and speaking in tongues. Many believe that because the Spirit of Prophecy is the Testimony of Jesus, there can no longer be prophecy. So is prophecy still around today? And if so, how do we know the difference between false prophets and Prophets of God? Join ArieRashelle as she answers all these questions in our video, The Spirit of Prophecy.

Revelation 19:10
Genesis 3:15
1 John 4:1-3
1 Corinthians 14:4-5

The Spirit of Prophecy

The Testimony of Jesus

19 And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

2 Peter 1:19-21

10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Revelation 19:10

The Gift of Prophecy

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as He wills.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

1 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.

1 Corinthians 14:1-5

Food For Thought

If God poured out His Spirit on all flesh so that our sons and daughters could prophesy, young men could see visions, and old men could see dreams, why would He take away these gifts? Especially the Gift of Prophecy? Paul said this is the greatest gift; in fact, he urged us to seek out this gift above all gifts that the Church might be built up. Why would God take away such powerful gifts, especially if this is the time it was poured out on all flesh and the Holy Spirit is now dwelling among us and in us for the first time in history? If this is the greatest of the Gifts of the Spirit because it builds up the Church, why would God remove that?

When the Day of Pentecost Had Fully Come

Acts 2 starts out by stating, “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,” Here’s the scene, all of Jesus’ followers were together in one accord in the Upper Room. Then suddenly the power of the Holy Spirit rushed over them like a rushing wind. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other tongues. So, the question then is why does this matter? Why does it matter that they were all together? What does this have to do with the Day of Pentecost?

The arrival of the Holy Spirit and His power.

1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7 And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12 And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

The Power of The Holy Spirit

power of the holy spirit, spirit/gift of prophecy

We often hear many things about the Father and the Son, and we often embrace these two members of the God-Head with ease and without reservations. But when it comes to the Holy Spirit we tend to be a bit more hesitant to embrace Him. Why? Could it be that we don’t quite understand who He is and what He is trying to offer us? We don’t understand the power that comes from the Holy Spirit. We tend to run from anything that seems to no longer fit our world, such as prophecy, spiritual tongues, or any other gifts of the Spirit.

The disciples were filled with the power of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost 2000 years ago. When that happened they began speaking in tongues, Peter then proceeded to preach a fiery message and 3000 were saved. But what exactly was that power that they were filled with? Join ArieRashelle as she searches through Scripture for more on this in her video, The Power of The Holy Spirit.

The Power of The Holy Spirit

The Father and the Son bring forth the will and the salvation of God, but only through the Spirit is do we have power.

3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 2:3–5

19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. 20 For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.

1 Corinthians 4:19-20

The Gifts of the Spirit

Two of the greatest gifts are prophecy and speaking in tongues. Prophecy is the greatest because it builds up the Church while speaking in tongues builds up the person speaking in tongues. These gifts are distributed through the power of the Holy Spirit, not through the Father or the Son.

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as He wills.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

1 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.
