The Trinity of Faith

It can be difficult to explain this revelation on a blog because every time I go to write something, I find something else I have to explain. This is one of the foundational elements in what I call "The Creator's Paradigm," which is the entire revelation that I have so far.

Faith, like Yahweh, is a Trinity. It is the "substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) It is the glue that holds creation together and the process by which all things are created.

The word "evidence" has a root which means "seeing." The evidence of things not seen, therefore, means the "seeing of the unseen." It is also the substance, or tangible physical existence, of what you hope for. Generally what you hope for is something you've only seen in your mind or heart.

We are created creators, partnering with Yahweh to create. Yahweh Himself uses this process to create all things, as we will see in a minute, however we also use this process in partnership with Yahshua to create the things in the dominion over which He has given us to rule and reign as the kings over which He is King.

This brings us to the three parts of faith-creation:

1) The Seeing of the Unseen. This is when Holy Spirit reveals to you something that Is in His heart, but which you cannot really touch yet.

2) The Gathering. Now that you know what it is you are making, you frame and fill it. You dance from point to point in infinite-eternity with Yahshua, and your steps mark out the framing/form/shape of what you're making. Hebrews 11:3 discusses this when it says that Yahweh framed the worlds by His Word. Remember that His Word is Yahshua.

After you and Yahshua have framed the created being, you stand in the middle of your form and you fill it with faith, calling all of that which is to indwell your form to it. The Christ anointing draws all things together as they should be. Yahweh fills the form with Himself.

In this part of the Trinity of Faith comes righteousness, or right order. It is here that we have the idea of sequence. Like connecting a dot-to-dot puzzle, you have to follow the steps of Yahshua in right order. That which is first must be first, and then that which is second, lest we make a complete mess of things. However, with Yahshua as the lead-partner in this dance divine, we cannot make a mistake.

3) The Questioning. This is the most difficult part of the Trinity of Faith, and yet without it your creation will not become immutable and cannot be completed. I find that the more I am questioned about something that is Real, the more I know its Reality. In this part of the Trinity of Faith, you are asked two questions: 1) Did Yahweh really say? This questions the form. 2) Is Yahweh Yahweh? This questions your filling.

For your creation to truly endure questioning,  you must actually consider the possibility that Yahweh did not really say and that He is not really Yahweh and then reject that possibility entirely. It sounds much easier than we have found it to be, for though we can say our faith is strong enough to answer absolutely yes, how often have we endured questioning and found that not to be the case? Any time you think you have experienced anything that is not Yahweh, you have been in questioning.

The answer is in the question, for that is what Yahshua did for us. He is the answer, and I am confident that ultimately we will answer every question with "Yes and Amen," for His Promises are true. He speaks Reality itself, and He is always who He says He is. Yahweh is all that there is.

Let's examine the creation story in Genesis 1-3 through the lens of this new revelation of faith as a Trinity.

The Earth was formless, void, and dark (Genesis 1:2). Then Yahweh formed it, filled it, and revealed it, saying "Let there be Light." When He spoke of the Light, He did not create the sun, moon, and stars, for those were created on the fourth day. Instead, He spoke the revelation for the seeing of the unseen, thus starting the faith-creation process.

The rest of the first chapter of Genesis has Yahweh speaking everything into existence. He is using His Word to frame the world and all that is within it. He filled the world with Himself. In Genesis 2:7, Yahweh formed man out of the dust and "breathed into His nostrils the breath of life." This is the most clear example in scripture of the forming and the filling. Man was not finished when he was formed out of the dust; he did not come to life until He was filled with the breath of Yahweh Himself. The same word for "breath" is the word that is used for "Holy Spirit." In Hebrew, it is Ruach. In Greek, Pneuma.

Now man was formed and filled, but he was not completed yet, for in the third part of faith there was the questioning. Most of us are in the process of being questioned right now, though it began in Genesis 3:1, when the serpent literally asked, "Did Yahweh really say...?" It is at this point that our trust in Yahweh is revealed as Real, and we can cement our own Reality and creation.

We are all in the questioning stage in some way. For some of us, it is a part of our lives that we wish were different, for others it is their entire life. Shortly before I received this revelation, in my mind arose the question of did I deserve to exist...? Did Yahweh really say? Inherent in this question is: Is Yahweh Yahweh? Yahweh is love... Did He love me enough for me to be?

Yahweh is all that there is, and it is impossible for Him to lie! When we answer the question, YES, we bring about the Oath of Confirmation, which puts an end to all dispute. (Hebrews 6:16-18). Thus our creation becomes immutable, and we know that it is impossible for Yahweh to lie.

At this point, we begin the cycle all over again, as Yahweh's Kingdom is ever-increasing (Isaiah 9:7). We are always going to be growing and creating.

The questioning can be intense. It may start out as a question, but it can grow to look like statements. In my own questioning of my existence, it included visions of hurting myself and blood. Yet, to endure the questioning--to answer Yes to Yahweh--leads to life much more than ever hoped for or dreamed. It is thus that we learn a new word, katalambano, a Greek word which will be the subject of my next blog post.

Why Creation Isn't Waiting For You to Rule and Reign

There's this idea that creation is waiting for the sons of God to take their places and make the world what it needs to be, this idea that some day out there Yahweh will come back and take us to Heaven and reign from His Throne. Once we remember sovereignty and that we are One with Yahweh, we realize that we are the ones sitting on this throne with Yahweh. We also need to remember that time and eternity are One. Time is the instrument of Our growth, and We actually use it to grow eternity. Once we realize these two things, we can see that We are sovereign in our own lives and ruling and reigning from this throne right now. The instrument of Our dominion is Our choices. This is what Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians 3 where he talks about how we each choose what materials to build our lives with. Some choose jewels, some choose clay. I, as the sovereign in my own life, get to decide what materials to build my life with. However, I cannot judge another's life. As each of u...

Pie

Imagine that all the love, affection, and resources (time, finances, emotional space, etc.) that each of us has is a pie. This pie may be larger or smaller depending on capacity and circumstances in a person’s life. Now, in order to be healthy and satisfied, each person must constantly be consuming an entire pie. But, after eating a single slice of our own pie, the rest of our pie cannot satisfy us or give us any nutritional value. What are we to do? We must give ourselves the first slice of our pie. This is self-love or self-care. That first slice imbues all of the other slices of our pie with nutritional value. But, after we have consumed the first slice of our own pie, the rest of our pie will give us nothing if we eat it ourselves. We must give the other slices of our pie to other people. Still, we must consume a whole pie to be satisfied, so others must give to us as well. In a healthy, functioning society and group, it would look like this: each of us eats our own first slice...

Rocks vs. Sand: Discerning Reality from Illusion

I keep saying that Yahweh is all that there is and that anything that isn't of Him isn't Real. You may well wonder, as I did, why we keep seeing things that aren't Real. Sickness, death, poverty, sadness... none of these are in line with Yahweh's order or character, so why do we perceive them? Some might say that we live in a fallen world, but did not Yahshua finish everything on the cross? (John 19:30). If we are to believe Him that it truly is finished, then we can return to His Reality right now. We do not have to wait until we die to go to Heaven. Indeed, we do not even have to die. (1 Corinthians 15:51, John 8:51, John 3:16, etc.)  If you just looked up those verses and rationalized away that they are talking about not dying after you die and go to Heaven (does that really make sense, though?), ask Holy Spirit to show you His Reality and judge it for yourself. I, personally, cannot now understand why Yahshua would say that anyone who keeps His Word would ne...
