How to Reconcile the Trinity & the Schma
The Hebrew word for one in the schma is Echad.
Echad is also used in Genesis 2:24: “A man shall leave his mother and cleave to his wife and to 2 shall be one flesh.”
Here, the word obviously denotes a compound unity. Two people - yet one in the flesh. So echad also means a compound unity in the schma - meaning the Godhead is 3 - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
An anecdote: I was going thru the turnstile at El Al and a man came behind me. The Israeli said to me, “Echad?” meaning, Are you one with him?
The Gospel of John explains the divinity of Jesus:
John 1:1 says “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.”
John 1:14 says “And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth.”
John 1:17 says “The law came by Moses, but grace and truth come by Jesus Christ.”
And John 17:21 says (Jesus praying) “that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.” May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
1 John 5:7 “There are 3 that bear record in Heaven, the Father, Word and Holy Spirit and these 3 are one.”
ELOHIM, the Hebrew for God, is plural, implying a trinity.

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16
Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this."
Read Isaiah 53. It is not in the liturgy, because it is so obviously referring to Yeshua, Jesus.
It says “he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities...with his stripes we are healed. For the transgression of my people he was stricken...he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth...by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities...and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
The First time I read Isaiah 53, the first line, it said “to whom is the arm of the lord revealed?”
I started to cry, and heard in my mind, “to he who seeks his name”. That name is Yeshua, or Jesus.
The crying was a reaction to truth from my spirit. God's spirit talks directly to our spirit, and we often have a deep emotional reaction to this. The scriptures say “Deep calls unto deep”.
Jeremiah 31:31 says God will make a NEW COVENANT, where God would forgive our sins:
“Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord,
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord:
For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
This scripture came to me in a dream when I asked God if Jesus was the messiah.
Jesus’ Hebrew name, YESHUA, means salvation
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son, that whosoever believed on him would not perish but have everlasting life.
To be saved we need to be BORN AGAIN. This means being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said “Verily verily I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
“Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:5
“Christ in you, the hope of glory” Colossians 1:27
TO BE SAVED:
Accept Jesus (Yeshua) as your messiah.
Repent of your sins. Ask God to tell you any particular sin you need to repent of.
One important thing is to forgive everyone. Jesus said “Unless you forgive people their sins God won’t forgive you yours.” Mathew 6
Unforgiveness can send a person to hell, hinder our prayers & block being healed.
See my article “The need for forgiveness: at http://www.1prophetspeaks.blogspot.com/2012/01/need-for-forgiveness.hmtl
Pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit, which testifies that Yeshua is the Messiah. That makes you born again.
Be baptized in Jesus or Yeshua’s name. Being ‘born of the water’ means being baptized.
When we are baptized our sins are forgiven & washed off of us; heaviness lifts & we feel light.
I remember feeling joyous, like it was my birthday. Which it WAS – my Spiritual birthday!
Pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by talking in tongues, which is praying and prophesying in a heavenly prayer language given by God. When you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit-talks to you in your thoughts and gives you the interpretation.
To receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit you need to fast.
Many people spontaneously receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit when they get baptized in water.
I received the Holy Spirit before getting baptized in water. I had gone to a Pentecostal church intending to get baptized. I knew that I would have to discontinue a sexual relationship that was sin (fornication) & needed help to resist. I had prayed “God I need all the help I can get”
At church, the Holy Spirit told me I was committing a sin, that I had not recognized. I repented. Immediately, The Spirit filled me & I started talking in tongues. We need the Holy Spirit in us to be able to resist sin.
When we pray in tongues, it strengthens our spirit to help us. This was the help I needed. It became apparent that something different was inside me from that point since prior to this experience, I had been able to tolerate hearing off-color jokes. After this, I could no longer do so. God’s Holy Spirit in me was revulsed by it, and I now felt what He feels.
Once we are born again, we feel emotions that are God’s, not just our own. He lets us feel His heart. A lot of Christians sometimes feel down & think it must be some psychological issue of their own, but it is really not their own issues at all. It is from God or from others in the body of Christ. Having the Holy Spirit interconnects us. We can feel a burden for someone else. When we pray, it helps them.
The scripture says to “ bear ye one another’s burdens” Galatians 6:2
Often we need to pray in tongues, because that is how God uses us to pray for others. Praying in tongues is a supernatural prayer language where God directs our spirit to pray by His spirit, rather than our own mind. He uses us to pray for things of which we may have no conscious knowledge; for people we don’t even know.
Some people are sensitive, natural empaths. They are called by God to use this sensitivity to pray for others, as intercessors. It is part of their calling. Many people don’t realize this & just think they must have mental problems & should take anti-depressants. This is not the right way. The drugs impede the Spirit’s ability to pray, and numb us, dulling our sensitivity to God.
My book Manual for Transformational Healing-God’s Answer to Psychiatry talks about this. It is free on my website http://www.1prophetspeaks.com
Also, renounce all drugs, such as nicotine or caffeine or alcohol or street drugs or psych meds. All drugs which affect the mind are openings for unclean spirits which contaminate the Holy Spirit.
To pray effectively, you need to be pure. If one prays contaminated unclean spirits can be transmitted to your target or bring answers from a demonic spirit rather than God.
God can deliver you from all addictions without withdrawal, if you ask it in Jesus' name. Say "I repent of using this drug & I rebuke the addictive spirit of "drug name" in Jesus name. Lord heal me with no withdrawal.
Mental & physical illnesses are caused by demonic spirits. Jesus rebuked them & gave his followers authority to do it.
He healed people as a testimony to the fact that He was the savior, and has authority over demonic spirits. God heals today for the same purpose- as a testimony to who Jesus is.
I have rebuked spirits of canc-, asthma-, depress, & been healed. Spirits are contagious, like germs. They can transmit through verbal & physical contact. I have picked up spirits of depress- from someone else who had it; coughed spontaneously or prayed, & it left.
It is always God’s will to heal us, when we repent of sin. Jesus told his followers to preach the kingdom of God, heal the sick & raise the dead. Matthew 10:8
To people that he healed, he said “Go and sin no more” John 5:14.
This happened to me.
I had gotten a sexual disease after sleeping with someone. I repented of it. I felt heat go thru my whole body. God spoke to me, saying “Don’t do it again or it will return.” This is consistent with what Jesus said when he healed a man and said “Go and sin no more, or a worse thing may come upon you.” John 5:14.
There is nothing God can’t heal. Jesus said “nothing is impossible with God”. Matthew 17:20, Mark 10:27
All drugs are openings for demonic spirits. I have picked up spirits of mani-, agitation, addiction, from people drinking coffee talking near me.
There are other things that need to be assessed for openings for demonic spirits. This includes:
Unrepentant sin, things in our environment, including bad music, books, art, symbols (peace signs & Jewish stars are occult), occult objects such as tarot cards – they are accursed objects & need to be renounced & removed – they are openings for curses).
All music, art, books are ‘inspired’ by spirits. The word ‘inspiration’ means ‘a spirit goes into it’
Whatever spirit inspires them is transmitted by reading, listening, watching etc. Also by just having them around us. When we remove the stuff, spiritual oppression leaves.
Music such as heavy metal, hard rock, techno-pop, is demonic. Blues music invokes spirits of depress-. Classical can be mixed. Jazz too. Music by an anointed Christian musician, invokes the Holy Spirit’s presence.
Books that lie about the bible, such as philosophy, new age, occult are openings for lying spirits. Romance novels, murder mysteries, witchcraft books like Harry Potter are openings for demonic oppression.
These spirits can affect our thoughts, emotions. Witchcraft spirits are openings for curses in our lives, relationships, etc.
Curses spoken over one by oneself or others can cause problems. They can be rebuked in Jesus name. There can be curses from the sins of our ancestors; these are broken in Jesus name.
See my minibook & article “The power of words” Words are not just descriptive; they can invoke what we speak. James ch 3 (NT) warns about the power of the tongue. Proverbs says ‘death & life is in the tongue’. http://www.1prophetspeaks.blogspot.com/2010/09/power-of-words.html
See my article “do you need mental or physical healing” http://www.1prophetspeaks.blogspot.com/2010/09/do-you-need-mental-or-physical-healing.html
There is more about assessing one’s environment spiritually in my article & free minibook and about Jewish Stars being occult in SPIRITUAL WISDOM. http://www.1prophetspeaks.blogspot.com/2008/06/spiritual-wisdom_6289.html
also talks about this.
GOD TALKS TO EVERYONE IN OUR THOUGHTS
Our conscience is God. All thoughts come from the spiritual realm. The word ‘inspiration’ means ‘a spirit goes into it.”
God has been talking directly to people for the last 2000 years, since Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, which is part of the Godhead, to the earth.
He said “I will send you the comforter, the Holy Spirit, which will be with you and in you and will teach you all things, and bring all things to remembrance whatsoever I have taught you. John 14:26
When we read the bible, God puts his Words in our memory, and the Holy Spirit brings them to remembrance as one way of speaking to us. He also says things that are not in the bible. But if we hear something that contradicts the bible, it is unlikely to be from God. We need to know the bible so that we can discern what is & what is not of God.
Psychiatrists think anyone who hears voices is having auditory hallucinations, a supposed symptom of psychosis. Their 2nd question is always “do you hear voices”. But it is NORMAL Christian theology to hear voices. Jesus said “my sheep hear my voice” John 10:27
EVERYONE hears voices, as thoughts in our heads. They come from the spiritual realm. In Christian theology there are 2 sources; from God or the demonic. James ch 3 says there is ‘wisdom from above and wisdom from below’.
Psychiatry is based on an atheistic worldview that denies the spiritual realm exists. Hence, for 50 years they have falsely been calling Christians & anyone with spiritual beliefs & experiences schizophrenic.
Freud the atheist father of psychiatry, said “I consider myself to be the greatest danger to religion.”
Jewish psychiatrists & rabbis, in their ignorance of Christian theology, have been falsely calling people crazy who are not.
The reason for this theological error is due to the history. The bible says Abraham walked & talked with God.
At the time of Moses, God spoke out loud on Mt Sinai & the entire nation of Jews heard him. They said “who can hear God and live? Talk to moses for us. So God agreed. He used prophets, for a time.
However, as prophesied in Jeremiah 31;31, he said he would make a NEW covenant, where he would again talk directly to people. First he sent Jesus, his son, to show us that he wanted to talk directly to us, and then Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, which came on the day of Pentecost (Acts ch 2). God is not hiding from us; He talks directly to us when we seek him. Sometimes he waits until we repent of sin, before answering us.
We need to be careful not to give demonic lying spirits an opening to talk to us, rather than God.
That is why I spoke about addressing our environment & its influences.
See article Do You believe God speaks to you- He Does in your thoughts
I lived in a church, playing piano for 2 years, worshipping & praying. I would sing the name Jesus and as I did so, God healed me and gave me a loud singing voice I did not previously have.
Then a rabbi said “you’re wrong about Jesus – God answers your prayers since you’re a Jew. So I tested it. I only sang to “Adonai, God of Abraham Isaac & Jacob”. I felt the same presence of God I had felt while also singing Jesus.
God said to me for 2 weeks “don’t deny the name of my Son” and “My word is true”. He meant the written word. Jesus said in John 17:17 ”your word is truth”
I never tested it again. Jesus said “if you deny me before men, I will deny you before the Father”. God was actually rebuking me, not just answering me.
Go to a Pentecostal or Charismatic church where they believe in and pray in tongues healing & prophecy, or a messianic synagogue where they believe in Yeshua as Messiah.
Get a King James bible with a concordance. Avoid the more modern translations (the NIV, NRSV, etc. – they have been tampered with and leave out scriptures. Get a bible with a concordance since God often speaks in one word to lead us to a scripture. The concordance lists words and where they occur in scriptures. You can also buy a complete concordance like Strongs, or get the bible on - computer which has a complete concordance.
See article “Bible translations- only the King James is good” http://www.1prophetspeaks.blogspot.com/2011/08/bible-translations-only-king-james-is.html
One of the most powerful early experiences I had that led me to Christ was going to a house church of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship. The worship was so powerful that God’s presence was pouring out in the room; I felt a spirit of Love, flooding through me. I wanted to hug people I didn’t know! I knew this had something to do with Jesus.
The Vineyard is a charismatic non-denominational church that is all over the country & the UK. Their worship is very powerful and their worship songs are used in evangelical churches all over. Their worship has revolutionized worship in the Christian church. Their songs sing TO God, not just about God, like the hymns. (Those songs are called praise). A mixture of both is called praise and worship.
Singing worship songs invokes the Holy Spirit’s presence in response in a very intimate and powerful way. When we talk TO someone and not just about them, it attracts them. Their tapes are available in bookstores and from their website; you can listen on youtube on the web.
Bob Dylan got saved thru the Vineyard. He has said “I trust the music'.
Which means, music invokes the Spirit of God which gives us a witness in our spirit of the truth, an intuitive rather than mental process. The devil puts doubts in our minds, but truth is perceived by the heart.
I have had deep emotional reactions like crying while reading scriptures. This is our spirit's way of perceiving truth.
