KURIOS DOXA 

LORD OF GLORY

1 Corinthians 2:8

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified The Lord of Glory.

GLORY: Honor, Splendor, Majesty, Praise, The Unspoken Manifestation of God

Pronounced: koo'-ree-os dox'-ah

According to my Helps/Studies, the word Kurios means "a person exercising absolute ownership rights"; Lord

    This designation is used 722 times in Scripture. Repetition is meant to reinforce and imprint on us the fullness of The Word we are learning. It is not necessary for us to remember it in our minds, as what is being imprinted on our hearts is done spiritually and when we need it, The Holy Spirit will bring it to our lips and then we will speak it out. (Read all of 2 Corinthians 2)

   When we sing The Doxology, we are praising His glory. But what is His glory? Absolute ownership rights. Lord. We recognize that Jesus Christ is LORD of ALL. Even us, especially us. For we are His craftsmanship. The believer in Christ is truly owned by His Lord and Savior and for this we give Him all the praise. From the depths of our hearts we cry out, "Holy, holy, holy is The Lord God Almighty! Worthy is The Lamb That Was Slain!" 

    His glory is His majesty. Majesty to rule, majesty to judge. Wonderful, beautiful glory. That which has not yet been seen by the believer still on this side of heaven but longed for even now. 

     Even the thief on the cross recognized Jesus Christ as Lord. Such a simple word but with so much spiritual discernment in his words to Jesus. Luke 23:42 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” Lord-Kurios: Master, Owner, Supreme in Authority. This is our Lord. The Lord of Glory. Majestic Ruler of All. 

    Let us prepare our hearts to enter into His courtyards and His presence.

Cleanse My Heart, Lord 

Open The Eyes of My Heart, Lord

For Your Glory 

Storm All Around You

Worthy Is The Lamb

     

The Fountain of Living Water - Names of God

 

Jeremiah 2:13

"For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, The Fountain of Living Water, and they have dug their own cisterns - broken cisterns that cannot hold water."

Here God is not speaking to the world in general, He is speaking to, and about, His own people: His elect, His chosen. The people He has called to be His people. 

In forsaking God, God's people had turned their backs to and their faces from hearing The Word of God. In so doing they (we) have also stopped obeying The Word of God and are content to do their own thing. We are bringing God's judgment on the house of God in our disobedience and disregard and unthankfulness. 

We must repent of our wickedness and return to a faithful walk with God. We must allow His Holy Spirit to change our hearts and strengthen our desire to have God active in our daily lives. We must seek His face with all of our hearts that His Word may fill us completely and there be nothing left of the selfish desires that have taken us from Him. We must pursue His grace that we might be covered with it, that sin would no longer be in God's houses. 

These broken cisterns with which we have surrendered ourselves to and surround us are the idols and icons of our wickedness. With our eyes turned from God and having looked to the left and to the right, after being instructed not to do so, we have wandered far from righteousness and dallied in unrighteous behavior. 

We must clean out God's house and remove the idols from His altar. We must not tarry in doing so, lest we provoke God even more and He rain judgment upon us. We must seek His face, confess our evil deeds, ask forgiveness and turn away from, stop participating in, such deeds/actions/activities/beliefs. 

When God says in His Word not to do something and we do it, that's a sin against God. When God says to do certain things and we don't, that, too is a sin against God. Both of these need to be repented of (confessed to God that we may be forgiven by Him and turn away from the wickednesses we are doing and turn to Him to obey Him, follow Him, live in Him). 

The Fountain of Living Water can only live in unbroken cisterns (unbroken wells). When we are broken by worldly pleasures, then there is no room for a Savior to enter into and live in. We have filled our hearts with rubble, with trash, with selfishness and self-centeredness. 

We have pasted astrological signs on the walls of our hearts. We are focused on the night sky and not on He Who created the heavenly points of light. We have sought out other gods to worship: gods who cannot see, cannot hear, cannot answer prayer, cannot heal, cannot fight for us; gods who are created by men who refused to give themselves to The Only Almighty God, and in doing so have turned untold numbers of people to their wicked ways of living. 

We are God's people but we are not living like God's people. Now is the time to clean house. Now is the day we turn back to God in repentance that we might be renewed, replenished and refurbished in our hearts, in our minds, in our spirit and in our lives. 

Come back to Jesus. Come and be filled with The Living Water that He is.

Names of God & Christ - Pistos Alethinos

 PISTOS ALETHINOS 

(pis-tos' al-ay-thee-nos')

FAITHFUL and TRUE

Revelation 19:11

Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called FAITHFUL and TRUE.

With righteousness He judges and wages war. 

Pistos/Faithful: trustworthy. Strong's writes: believing the faith God imparts. (wow) 

Alethinos/True: truthful. Strong's writes here that this word emphasizes the authentic unity between what is true and where truth originates. (how awesome is that!) 

And this Mighty Warrior is prophesied in Psalms and Isaiah, as well:

Psalms 45:3-5

Strap Your sword at Your side, O Mighty Warrior; appear in Your majesty and splendor. / In Your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may Your right hand show Your awesome deeds. / Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath Your feet.

Isaiah 63:1-4

Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.” / Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress? / “I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained."

And, again, in Matthew 16:27 

 For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done. 

Jude 1:14, 15

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.” 

Revelation 19:12-13, 15

He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God.

Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 

His holiness demands a righteous people, a people who must choose to follow Him, The Word of God, now, on this side of eternity. There are no second chances after death. There is no limbo, no purgatory. There is now; there is heaven (for the righteous born again believer who follows Christ) and hell (for the unrighteous wicked who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is Lord). 

As Jeremiah wrote thousands of years past, Choose this day whom you will serve..as for me and my house, we will serve The Lord. And in my house? We will serve The Lord. The prodigals will return to The Lord and He will receive them into His kingdom and into His dwellingplace. 

Do you believe? I do.
