    Good day,
    Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God.

    Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word.

    What does God look like?

    It is a simple question, but Scripture gives us an answer that is far more concrete than we often realise.

    The Bible calls God invisible. Yet Scripture also tells us that the invisible God has made Himself known—not merely through ideas, doctrines, or written sentences, but through a Person.

    John, on the island of Patmos, saw Him.

    “I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me…”

    And what John saw was astonishing: a figure with a head and hair, eyes, feet, a voice, hands, a face and a mouth. John was describing the appearance of Jesus Christ—the living Word of God.

    Revelation 1:12–17

    This is why Scripture says:

    “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.”

    Hebrews 1:3

    And again:

    “Christ, who is the image of God.”

    2 Corinthians 4:4

    So we can say:

    The Body of the Word is the image of the invisible God.

    The Scriptures Reveal a Person

    This changes the way we should read Scripture.

    We are accustomed to reading the Bible primarily as a collection of words, teachings, commandments, promises and historical accounts. But Scripture itself tells us that the Scriptures testify about a Person.

    Jesus said:

    “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”

    John 5:39

    The Scriptures are therefore not merely information about God. They testify about Jesus Christ, the living Word.

    Consider one example.

    John saw the eyes of Christ and wrote:

    “His eyes were like blazing fire.”

    Revelation 1:14

    That is a detailed description of the Body of the Word.

    But Scripture also says:

    “Our God is a consuming fire.”

    Hebrews 12:29

    The description of the Body therefore becomes a revelation about God Himself.

    The same principle runs through the Scriptures: the details of the Body of the Word testify about the Person of the Word and reveal the invisible Father.

    Paul writes:

    “God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”

    2 Corinthians 4:6

    The “face of Christ” becomes a point of revelation—the Body of the Word revealing the invisible God.

    Scripture Must Be Unfolded

    This is where something particularly provocative begins to emerge.

    What if the Scriptures are not simply information about God, but the Father's script for revealing Himself?

    Psalm 119:130 says:

    “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”

    Psalm 119:130

    The Word must be unfolded.

    We can read a Scripture without necessarily seeing the revelation contained within it.

    We can know the sentence without knowing the Person whom the sentence reveals.

    That is the difference between merely reading Scripture and receiving revelation.

    The detailed descriptions of the Body of the Word are therefore not decorative language. They are scriptural descriptions that can be unfolded to reveal the Father.

    Paul describes this revelation as:

    “the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”

    2 Corinthians 4:6

    So the purpose of the unfolding is not simply to give us more biblical information.

    It is to give us the revelation knowledge of the Father.

    The Body of the Word: White Like Wool and Snow

    Consider the description John gives:

    “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow.”

    Revelation 1:14

    This is a detailed description of the Body of the Word.

    But John is not alone in seeing this.

    Daniel saw the Ancient of Days and wrote:

    “His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool.”

    Daniel 7:9

    Then Song of Solomon gives another description:

    “His appearance is like Lebanon.”

    Song of Solomon 5:15

    Lebanon was associated with its mountainous, snow-covered appearance.

    The Scriptures are therefore giving us a repeated picture.

    The Body of the Word is white like wool, as white as snow.

    And because Christ is:

    “the exact representation of his being”

    Hebrews 1:3

    the description of Christ also becomes a revelation concerning the invisible God.

    This is why the details matter.

    The head matters.

    The hair matters.

    The eyes matter.

    The face matters.

    The hands matter.

    The feet matter.

    The mouth matters.

    The voice matters.

    The entire Body becomes a vocabulary through which Scripture speaks about the Person of the Word.

    The Body Is More Than a Description

    Every detailed description of the Body of the Word is also a Scripture because it testifies about the Person of the Word.

    Jesus said:

    “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”

    John 5:39

    Therefore, the description of His whiteness is not simply a physical observation.

    It is a testimony.

    It is a Scripture.

    It is a figure of speech.

    It is a revelation waiting to be unfolded.

    And Scripture gives us a principle for understanding this:

    “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

    Matthew 13:35

    God uses visible and natural things to communicate invisible and spiritual realities.

    The Body of the Word is therefore not merely something we look at.

    It is something Scripture teaches us to understand.

    The Father Is Speaking Through the Body

    Isaiah gives us another remarkable statement:

    “The hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants.”

    Isaiah 66:14

    Why the hand?

    Because the hand is part of the body.

    The hand becomes a doorway into understanding the Body of the Word.

    And the Body becomes a doorway into understanding the Person of the Word.

    And the Person of the Word reveals the invisible Father.

    Body → Person → Father.

    This is why I believe Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, is addressing His Church through the detailed descriptions of His Body.

    He is continually making the Father known.

    Jesus said:

    “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”

    John 14:9

    And the Holy Spirit does not speak independently of Christ. Jesus said:

    “He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.”

    John 16:14

    The Spirit takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known.

    And Paul tells us:

    “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

    1 Corinthians 2:10

    So there are depths in God that the Holy Spirit searches and reveals.

    Scripture Is God's Script for His Work

    There is another dimension to this revelation.

    The Scriptures are not merely records of what God has done. They are also the script through which His purposes are fulfilled.

    Again and again, Jesus said:

    “It is written…”

    Matthew 4:4, 7, 10

    And concerning His ministry:

    “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

    Luke 4:21

    The Scriptures therefore have a relationship with God's performance on Earth.

    When the Father has an intention, He opens Scripture according to that intention.

    When He is doing a work, He brings particular Scriptures into revelation.

    When the Spirit speaks to the churches, He speaks through what is being revealed:

    “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

    Revelation 2:7

    This makes the present question very important:

    What is the Spirit saying to the Church through the Scriptures He is opening?

    And if Christ is presently revealing Himself through the detailed descriptions of His Body, then these revelations deserve our attention.

    The Body of the Word Is Our Inheritance

    The Father has not given us Christ merely so that we can know facts about Him.

    He has given us Christ so that we can know Him.

    The Body of the Word is therefore not something we should approach casually.

    It is an inheritance.

    It is a revelation.

    It is an invitation to know the Person of the Word in greater detail.

    The Scriptures testify about Him.

    The Holy Spirit reveals Him.

    The Father is seen in Him.

    And the more the Scriptures are unfolded, the more light we receive concerning the Person of Christ and the glory of the invisible Father.

    So perhaps the question is no longer simply:

    “Do you read the Bible?”

    The deeper question is:

    “Do you recognise the Person whom the Scriptures are revealing?”

    Because the Bible is testifying.

    The Spirit is speaking.

    The Scriptures are being unfolded.

    And behind the revelation stands a Person:

    Jesus Christ, the living Word of God—the image of the invisible God.

  • Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.

    It appears that the rain monster is headed back our way. Perhaps today. I have one more yard to mow/bale, and hopefully I can get that done before it gets here. If I recall, the rain is supposed to start this afternoon around 3. We kind of made a plan for today, so…fingers crossed that the monster stays away for the right amount of time.

    This year has been a wild year for my yard. I do not recall a year where it felt like a cloud just passed over my place and the grass grew six inches. It is crazy how fast my yard is growing this year. I don’t even think that it has to rain a tiny bit for my yard to keep growing. It is crazy. You know, I always thought a balance of water and sun was the formula for a good growing yard. Apparently, my yard has an attitude and has said, “Give me rain, or not; give me sun or not; give me cold or not; I will grow and will not rot.” I guess it is its version of ‘hold my beer’.

    The wonderful part of it is that my yard actually looks like a fluffy pillow of beautiful grass. Not sure how that happened, but it did. There are not a lot of thistles or weeds; even in the back part of the yard, it is beautiful grass.

    The way that the grass is growing so quickly and fully is a reminder of how quickly sin can manifest in our lives. Now you are wondering, how did I just turn my beautiful pillow grass into sin? Stick with me; I think you will like this. Some of you who are used to my brain are trying to see my vision first. Haha.

    In one of the parables that Jesus taught, the farmer planted bountiful seeds and had a great crop. However, one day one of his servants told him of how the weeds were growing up in the plants and should they pull the weeds. The farmer told them no; they would worry about the weeds at harvest.

    My nice and quick-growing yard is just like the weeds in the parable, in that the weeds sprung up quickly and became noticeable to the servants. They did not need attention, but they were trying to take over the crop to the point that the servant wanted to rid the field of them.

    Sin works the same way. It finds its way into our lives, usually with logic. Such as, Jesus sat with sinners, so why can’t I? The problem with that example is that Jesus was perfect and without blemish. He did not succumb to the sin from which he was trying to save them from. He simply sat with them and told them the truth in love. WE on the other hand, are sinners who are saved by grace. WE are still human and are susceptible to the temptation of the same sins that we are sitting with. Meaning, a drug addict should not move into a drug-infested area to witness because the temptation could become too strong for them to resist.

    Once sin has planted itself in our minds, it festers and grows quickly. It uses logic and ‘common sense’ ideas to justify its existence. Soon, and it does not take long, for those around you to see how the sin has manifested and grew in your/our lives. And the bad part of it all is that many times we either do not see it and still try to justify our actions with the ‘Jesus sat with sinners’ or we do not see it at all.

    Today I encourage you to go to Him in prayer and ask Him to reveal any areas in your life that you may be lying to yourself about as a witness opportunity to allow for your sin. When He reveals it to you, go to Him and ask Him to forgive you. If He had sent anyone to open your eyes, ask them to forgive you for not listening to His servant. As you do that, you are telling the enemy to kick rocks and that will give him a headache for sure.

    Be blessed.

    **Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. – Colossians 3:17

  • Daily Devotion: Hebrews 11:1

    “To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.”

    We all come to a point in life where we doubt and worry. We stand at a crossroads not knowing which way to go.

    The future looms ahead, threatening our inner peace, while the past, with its traumatic memories drags us deeper into the darkness.

    I need you to remember that you, as a child if God, redeemed and set free of your sins are already believing in something we cannot see. We cannot go back in time and listen to Jesus telling parables to the masses, but we can have faith that this really happened.

    These modern days can be daunting to anyone, believers included. We are human, therefore we struggle with human troubles. But faith and hope lies with our Higher Power, our God who created us, His Son who died for us and the Holy Spirit that lives in us.

    So, dear friends, stop this constant worrying about what was and what is to come. God gave you this day to rejoice in. Go ahead, shrug off the heavy burdens you carry and enjoy this moment.

    And, when you look back, allow yourself to see how God carried you through difficult times. He is eternal and is always with us. Open your heart in prayer and let God guide you through life.

    Trust Him in every situation. Through His power you will conquer every temptation the evil one sends to you. Do not fear, but persist in prayer.

    Mark 11:24 GNBDC

    “……when you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.”

Mark 11:24 GNBDC “……when you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.” Scripture source: bit.ly/3XBKr55 Image source: bit.ly/3XBKr55 #Hebrews11 #faith #persevereinprayer

    Good day,
    Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God.

    Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word.

    What does God look like?

    This question has occupied the minds of believers for generations. The Scriptures provide a profound answer: if we desire to know the invisible God, we must behold the Body of the Word.

    The Apostle John encountered this reality while exiled on the island of Patmos. In Revelation 1:1–3, 12–17, he turned to see the voice that was speaking with him and beheld Jesus Christ in glorious majesty. He described His hair, His eyes, His face, His voice, His hands, His feet, and His robe. Centuries earlier, Ezekiel had witnessed the same glorious Person seated upon the throne, describing Him as having "the appearance of a man" (Ezekiel 1:26–28).

    These two prophetic witnesses establish an important truth:

    The Word of God is a living Person who possesses the appearance of a man and a complete body.

    The Body of the Word is not merely symbolic. According to Hebrews 1:3, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being." Likewise, Colossians 2:9 declares,

    "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form."

    When we behold the Body of the Word, we are beholding the visible image of the invisible Father.

    Paul reinforces this truth in 2 Corinthians 4:6:

    "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."

    The face of Christ represents the whole Body of the Word, revealing the very nature and glory of the invisible God.

    This means that every detailed description of Christ's Body is more than a physical observation—it is a revelation of who God is.

    Consider John's description of Christ's eyes:

    "His eyes were like blazing fire." (Revelation 1:14)

    At first glance, this appears to describe only His eyes. Yet Ezekiel saw the same glorious Person and described His entire form as radiant with fire (Ezekiel 1:27). The description therefore extends beyond one member to characterize the whole Person.

    Scripture also declares:

    "Our God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:29)

    The blazing fire of the Body of the Word therefore unveils something about the invisible Father Himself.

    Every detail of the Body speaks.

    Every member reveals.

    Every description carries revelation.

    These descriptions are themselves Scriptures because they testify concerning Christ. Jesus declared:

    "You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about Me." (John 5:39)

    The descriptions of the Body of the Word are therefore testimonies waiting to be unfolded.

    Psalm 119 teaches us:

    "The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple." (Psalm 119:130)

    As these descriptions are unfolded, they produce the revelation knowledge of the Father. They illuminate His character, His nature, and His purposes.

    Take again the image of blazing fire.

    Fire communicates more than brilliance; it speaks of intensity, passion, longing, and holy desire.

    Isaiah describes the Lord by saying:

    "See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar... His lips are full of wrath, and His tongue is a consuming fire." (Isaiah 30:27)

    The Body of the Word, described as blazing fire, therefore reveals the Father's deep and unwavering hunger.

    This explains why Jesus repeatedly identified Himself as the Bread from heaven.

    The Bread of the Presence that continually stood before God in the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:30) ultimately pointed to the Body of the Word.

    Jesus declared:

    "I am the Bread of Life." (John 6:35)

    Again He said,

    "I am the living bread that came down from heaven." (John 6:51)

    The Body of the Word is therefore God's eternal Bread—the food continually before the Father.

    The imagery develops even further.

    The Body of the Word is not only God's Bread but also His dining table.

    Song of Solomon prophetically portrays this abundance:

    "Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies." (Song of Solomon 7:2)

    God's delight continually rests upon the Body of His Word.

    Isaiah then introduces another remarkable picture:

    "He put on righteousness as His breastplate... and wrapped Himself in zeal as in a cloak." (Isaiah 59:17)

    Zeal is presented as one of God's garments.

    Throughout Scripture, God's garments reveal aspects of His own Person.

    John writes:

    "On His robe and on His thigh He has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:16)

    Even His garments proclaim His identity.

    If zeal is one of God's garments, then zeal reveals another dimension of the Body of the Word.

    What is zeal?

    Zeal is the visible expression of God's invisible emotions.

    It is the outward manifestation of His inward passions.

    God possesses holy longings.

    He experiences righteous delight.

    He burns with purpose.

    He rejoices in righteousness.

    He is moved by compassion.

    These are not abstract ideas; they are realities expressed through the Body of the Word.

    The Body of the Word therefore becomes God's divine encyclopedia of emotions.

    His emotions are stored within it.

    They are revealed through it.

    They are expressed by it.

    Every member of the Body becomes a container carrying another dimension of the Father's heart.

    His eyes like blazing fire reveal divine passion (Revelation 1:14).

    His face shining like the sun reveals divine glory (Revelation 1:16).

    His voice like rushing waters reveals divine authority and life (Revelation 1:15).

    His feet like glowing bronze (Revelation 1:15), His robe (Revelation 1:13), His mouth with the sharp two-edged sword (Revelation 1:16), and every other member unveil another aspect of the Father's nature.

    These emotions have not always been fully understood.

    Jesus declared:

    "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world." (Matthew 13:35)

    Among those hidden treasures are the depths of the Father's own heart.

    Through the revelation of the Body of the Word, these hidden realities are being brought into the light.

    The Holy Spirit Himself leads us into this understanding.

    Jesus promised:

    "When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth... He will receive from Me what He will make known to you." (John 16:13–15)

    As we meditate upon the different descriptions of the Body of the Word, the Spirit unfolds them and reveals the emotions, purposes, wisdom, and character of the Father.

    Our fellowship with God therefore extends beyond learning His commandments.

    It is an invitation to know His heart.

    To understand the Father's emotions is to know Him more deeply.

    To unfold the Body of the Word is to discover the hidden treasures of His love, His passion, His justice, His delight, and His eternal purpose.

    The more we behold the Body of the Word, the more clearly the invisible Father is revealed to us.

    May our hearts continually hunger for this revelation until every description of the Body of the Word becomes another window into the infinite glory of God.

    Good day,

  • Proverbs 1:2-7 NLT
    Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise. [3] Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair. [4] These proverbs will give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young. [5] Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance [6] by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables, the words of the wise and their riddles. [7] Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
