BYTES with Meaghan

BYTES~ Word Study: The Word of God＝Mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:16 For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ . This Is Truth＝ Jesus Is The Word of God The Word of God  & The Mind of Christ . Logos Theos＝The Word of God.  Logos means  something said (including the thought); by implication a topic (subject of discourse) also reasoning (the mental faculty) or motive; by extension a computation; specifically (with the article in John) the Divine Expression (that is Christ); Word (Christ). Theos   means  God . The Mind of Christ ＝ Nous Christos. Nous   describes   the intellect, that is, the mind (divine or human; in thought feeling or will); by implication, meaning: - mind, understanding. Christos   means  Christ, Anointed One, the Messiah, the Christ.  How can the Mind of Christ, Nous Christos,  be equal with  the Word of God, Logos Theos ? How can these things be? Well...

BYTES~ Don't Lose Your Faith  By Meaghan Spies So Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Lord, why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all.”   Exodus 5:22‭-‬23 There are times we know we are losing our faith. Things do not seem to be improving. In fact, it all seems stagnant, resistant to change; going nowhere . Actually, things seem to be getting worse , not better. You are resisting a spiritual heaviness akin to despair, doing spiritual warfare almost on a daily basis, yet nothing has changed. You feel drained, weary, tired of fighting because you feel you are always losing the battle. At those times we can definitely feel our faith leaking out .  A Tight Place Moses and the children of Israel were experiencing those same emotions, leaking faith, in Egypt. Now Egypt in the Hebrew is Mitzraim meaning a tigh...

BYTES~ Word Study :   Childish By Meaghan Spies Childish 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man (mature in the things of God) , I put away childish things. Nepios  is the Greek word for childish . Nepios literally means not-speaking; a babe; a simple minded person; an immature; to act as a babe; that is, innocently; untaught and unskilled.  What Does God Have To Say About Childishness? 1 Corinthians 13:11 in the INT reads as follows: When I was a nepios (or child) I was speaking like a nepios, I was thinking like a nepios, I was reasoning like a nepios. When I became a man, I did away with the things of the nepios. The Holy Spirit , through Paul, is pointing us in a certain direction, the direction of victory and maturity through Christ Jesus in this verse. When tells us at which time. So Paul is saying that at one time in his life he spoke, thought and reasoned as ...

BYTES~ Word Study: The Riches of His Kindness By Meaghan Spies But when the kindness and the love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit , whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of Eternal Life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly , that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.  Titus 3:4‭-‬8 NKJV Our God Is Rich The riches of His kindness . What profound words, rich with meaning because they are a true reflection of the nature of God . Our God is rich .  He is rich and generous in everything good. He is the personification and the source of abundant life . God epitomizes all you ha...

  BYTES~ Word Study : Allos. He Is The Same John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. ALLOS Another is ALLOS in the Greek and it means, another of the same sort . The night before Jesus was crucified, He said to His disciples that when He has returned to His rightful place in glory at the right hand of God, that He would ask His Father, the LORD God Almighty, to send Allos Parakletos , Another Helper, to be with them and with those who would believe in His name. Jesus kept His Word. The Allos Parakletos, Another Helper, the Holy Spirit was sent by the Father on the Day of Pentecost to dwell in and with Believers forever. Another of the Same Sort What did Jesus mean when He called Holy Spirit Another of the Same Sort ? He meant another who is the same as Him . Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Sp...

BYTES~  Be Still Psalm 46:10a Be Still, and know that I Am God. Two words. A profound statement:  Be Still. This is a Word straight from the Holy Spirit to your heart :  Be still .  It is a word in season with a personal meaning for the one who would receive it. For some,  Be Still , evokes memories of the struggle to do just that, to Be Still . Getting still before the Lord in order to hear what He has to say can be daunting or just plain difficult for some. You want to hear from God but… 1. Being Still long enough to hear presents a problem. The phone or doorbell has an uncanny habit of ringing right at the time you picked as your quiet time. Thing is, do not give up. Get right back into God’s Presence if you are disturbed. Or try not to set the busiest time of your day as your time with God. If this describes you then tell yourself that Being Still requires determination . You must become determined to have a deeper, more personal, relationship with Jesus...
