John 17:5-8 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
"The Church partnered with Paul in fellowship in the gospels from the first day until now. The Church worked with Paul; the Church was supporting the minister of the Gospel. There is a blessing when the Church partners with the Minister of the Gospel. The key word is the 'gospel'; the minister must not minister under strange things but the gospel."
"The Church fellowshipped with him in the Spirit. As He faced hardships, they did not turn a blind eye but ministered consolation at any given opportunity."
"In a fallen world, living among fallen men yet without sin; He defeated sin in the flesh. He had the experiences of man yet He did not do or perform the sins of man. He drank the cup of sin; it did not make Him a sinner. It became an exchange so that the principle of substitution can take place and he takes our place as we take His."
Hebrews 10:5-13 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Hymn: Philippians 2:6-11 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
"Paul is using this hymn to encourage the Philippians to have an attitude of humility. He is simply saying, 'let this mind which was in Christ also be in you.'"
"The Bible never makes any attempt to explain the Trinity; it simply declares. You are always going to be left with a mystery of Godliness. There is that element whereby we say that 'after we taught these things, we still don't know these things'. So we leave it up to God and depend on the Holy Spirit; The Holy Spirit gives us words and helps us to explain these things as scripture interprets scripture."
"The gospel is the good news of Who He is and what He has done. If you don't preach accurately Who He is and what He has done, you are no longer preaching good news. Who Jesus is by nature, and what He has done through the work of redemption sum up what it means to preach the Gospel."
Lessons to learn from Jesus Christ: "How a minister of the gospel should be perfectly ready for his assignment; How a minister of the gospel / a child of God ought to be perfectly submissive to His will; How He (Son of God) was perfectly compliant in order to fulfill God's assignment."
"I'm not repenting but I'm identifying with sinners" ... Wuuuuuu thank you Father 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
The nature of God:

John 17:5-8 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
"'If I am going to obey you perfectly, I am going to lay aside my will not my person.'"
"It is a concern in the Body of Christ when ignorance is celebrated, protected and encouraged😢. We should be ashamed."
Indeed.

We fellowship with our pastor/ minister in the gospel, spirit, suffering and communicating i.e., in giving, as well as receiving.
"The Church fellowshipped with him in the Spirit. As He faced hardships, they did not turn a blind eye but ministered consolation at any given opportunity."
Thegospel is about who Jesus Christ is and what he has done ❤😇

"fellowship in the Spirit might involve encouraging the one who ministers and making sure that that checks are provided as it pertains to his spirit."

He left the Throne... 🎉

In His nature he is immutable.
