In the writings provided in the "Christology" documents, six men of God - all from different vocations and their scribes expanded eight generations (800 years) of time and annotated events, times, and incredible circumstances that will occur during the first arrival of the coming Messiah. Their writings would attribute to the exact phenomena which will crown the Messiah his personification, and usher in his presence. The simple act that six men can write perfect symphonic writing without changing the storyline is incredible. But, what is most incredible is that these eight hundred years of writing all came true in only one being, Jesus Christ. The odds of every prophetic event coming true in the life of Jesus Christ, the time, space, and even the geography is absolutely unattainable unless it is supernatural. The Virgin Birth, the genealogy, the exact city, the events of betrayal, his death, and his supernatural resurrection is only but a few of the dozens of prophecies that were attributed to these men and fulfilled in the Son of God. To determine all the events from the birth, death, and resurrection in exact detail is astounding, and to fulfill them in one person can only mean one thing and one person - God. 1. Prophecy: The Messiah would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14). Fulfillment: Jesus was born of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18-25). 2. Prophecy: The Messiah would be born into the family of King David (Jeremiah 23:5). Fulfillment: In the genealogy in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus is listed as being in the lineage of David (Luke 3:23-31). 3. Prophecy: The Messiah would be born in the city of Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Fulfillment: Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Luke 2:11). 4. Prophecy: The Messiah would be betrayed by a friend (Psalm 41:9). Fulfillment: Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of His twelve disciples (Matthew 10:4). 5. Prophecy: The Messiah would be tortured and crucified (Isaiah 53:5). Fulfillment: Jesus was beaten and then crucified (Matthew 27:26). 6. Prophecy: Jesus would rise from the dead (Psalm 16:10). Fulfillment: Jesus rose from the dead (Matthew 28:5-6). #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

Who is robed with eternal majesty, and sustains the world in his right hand? Who stands as the author of life, and is named with the name that is above every name? Jesus, the Son of God, clearly is perfect in all his ways, his righteousness is the standard of eternity, and his humility is the framework for greatness. He will never perish, and stands as the Lord of time, he reveals the mysteries of the unknown and the love which binds the universe together. He is unchangeable and is the fabric of truth. Infallible, incorruptible and everlasting are his Words, his teachings, and his life. He is the source of life and through him, creation was established. He holds the keys of heaven and earth, hedes, and the storehouses of heaven. The rains water the earth, and he dresses it with dew, he replenishes his creation with his spoken word. At his command, the dead will rise, and the winds will stretch the earth from a breath of his nostril. He forgives the sinner and establishes the saints. His love is eternal, unalterable, and ageless. Christ is immutable, he is God the eternal. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

It is in the everlasting love of God “The Father” that we as believers become heirs of a Kingdom of Holy Priests. A blessed group of elected individuals who were predestined to be conformed into the image and likeness of his perfect Son (Jesus Christ). His eternal hands guide us, and his enormous arms embrace us, and he leads us into a blessed hope of restoration, perfection, and love. He provides every virtue, power, authority, and ability to be transformed - and live out the blessed hope for which we have been saved. He comforts us, blesses us, elects us, calls us, redeems us, justifies us, indwells in us, perfects us, keeps us, honors us, loves us, sanctifies us, provides peace to us, glorifies us, reveals the truth to us, supplies everyone need we have, he disciplines us, restores us, gathers us, and rewards us, just as he did and continues to do through his Son Jesus Christ. For as the firstborn of many, we have been made one with him, and in him, and no authority, principality, time, height, nor distance can separate us from Jesus Christ and God “The Father”. He provides for all of us, who has been called by his name, to attain an eternal inheritance that will never perish but shall exist from everlasting to everlasting. We as believers have become part of the great family of God. We love you, dad. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

Before the creation of the World, and from the moment "time" was measured and introduced, the infallible Scriptures declares that the "Word" existed. This "Word" whether audible, verbal, or contextually present in form, was in the company of the Father and dwelled in his presence. It is clear that the "Word" was with God, as one who accompanies another being, giving us a clear picture that there was a minimum of two divine entities present. The Holy Scriptures than reveals that the "Word was God", the "Word" was/is clearly equal in nature, divine power, and divine wisdom. Thus, revealing the second "Godhead" in the Holy Trinity. As we read on we learn that Jesus who is the second "Godhead" is masculine in nature and form, for as research reveals, the word "He" is a pronoun only given to an individual with masculine traits. The second verse in this scripture than states that Jesus (the Word), was with God (The Father) in the beginning. For Christ was/is forever present, is forever equal, and is forever knowing of the incredible mystery of creation and the deity of God the father, as ONE. John 1:1-2 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

The Words of God, the awesome delightful book called the "Bible". Gather every question, equation, book, science, poem, philosophy, scholar, event, empire, culture, language, king, nation, planet, galaxy, universe, and all its habitats, even this is just a gleam image of God's eternal, omnipotent, sovereign power and His Words. Who can hold the universe in its entirety together and speak to a man's heart? Who could reveal the secrets of the ages, and convict the stormy sins of a soul? Who determines the lifespan of a man, and the miracle-working power of birth? Who forms the eyebrows of a child, and gives the butterfly it's color? Who provides the power behind the wings of an eagle, and gives the ant's its wisdom? The eternal Words that proceeds from the mouth of God. These words are the very fabric of all creation, and the story of life and death. The love, the faith, the hope that satisfies the soul, and gives form to the spirit of man. Who can deny it, who can oppose it, who can outlive it, it stands on the mountain of time and eternity? For as the great apostle John said: John 1:1-16 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it............ #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

There are different forms and types of theology. Theology has been misinterpreted, misused, and in some cases misrepresented throughout the ages. If it is safe to say, in every generation, misuse of theology has given way to "religion", which has given way to "doctrine", which has "divided the Word of Truth", which has "divided the Church" which has divided God's people, and which has falsely distorted the sovereignty and nature of God. We must be very careful when studying "truth", one of the most important elements missing from this wonderful piece of literature is that we all need the divine intervention (revelation) of the Holy Spirit in both the student and teacher when studying theology. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

The insurmountable work of Kings, scholars, lawyers, theologians, priests, monks, scribes, translators, and others have amounted to millions of hours of labor and produced hundreds of translations of the Bible. The copulation of all this labor has become the framework of Bible history. Every effort exerted was important to the formation of what we call "The Bible" today. Removing or adding to all the efforts would undermine the credibility of what we call "Scriptural Truth". It is important to consider that the Bible is universally important to all cultures, and not necessarily exclusive to English. It is my contention, that the earliest "original" text of each testament or scrolls (Old Testament - Dead Sea Scrolls or Septuagint) and (New Testament - Codexes) are crucial in history. As languages change, cultures change, and time changes, the interpretation of each manuscript could have been "exclusively" influenced by the writers or translators. This brings us back to the importance of translation, interpretation, and inspiration. Focusing on the importance of the original text is vital to "truth". Just a notation: If the Septuagint was quoted by Jesus in the delivery of his message Luke 4:14-20, and used dozens of times in the Old and New Testaments by prophets, apostles, and even Christ himself I would think it all has validity). #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

This question is one of the many questions that has haunted billions of citizens throughout history. It is a question which demands a clear answer, and the answer is "yes"! The Bible, for thousands of years, has been the "cornerstone" of faith, the moral handbook of life, the governing principles of empires, the chronically recorded evidence of history, and the life-changing power of God. These inspired texts have outlived every book, every poem, every government, and every enemy. When considering its authenticity, the Bible has been found to be the most accurate in history, the most supported by events, the most trusted by scholars, the most used by academic institutions, the most inspiring by its believers, readers, eyewitnesses, and martyrs who were willing to give their lives for the uncompromising message and infallible context by which it was designed. The sixty-six (66) books of the Bible, when viewing it under a microscope, has been comprised of 40 authors of every vocational background over a period of 1500 years. It's continual "storyline" or message is a symphony of perfection which can only be orchestrated by a perfect author, and that author is God. For thousands of years, the canonical systems which were designed to scrutinize the Bible's authenticity, have bowed down to its authoritative authorship and have accepted the Bible as "our rule of life". These stringent systems consisted of thousands of supportive evidence, manuscripts, translations, local church acceptance, approvals, subject, content, and the supernatural ability to inspire, convict, edify, and correct. The Holy Scriptures have passed every one of these canonical systems and have given the ruling framework and name of what we call today the "Canonical Books" or "Bible". #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

Thomas Jefferson –“The Bible makes the best people in the world.” The forefathers of this wonderful country had made some profound statements that are worth studying.  For it is beautiful to see, the driving force behind their lives, their faith, and their labor. Thomas Jefferson stated the following; “The Bible makes the best people in the world.”. Looking closer at this statement, it inspired me to write about what could he have possibly meant. Thomas Jefferson clearly gives testimony (testifies) of God's awesome power to make, and change people's lives through the living Word of God. In spite of all books, Jefferson strongly considers that the Bible has the ability to positively impact an individual's life and make him/her into the "best" moral citizens of the world. This clearly reveals the active, abiding power of scripture not just as a governing "authoritative" handbook, but one which is alive and active improving in the wholeness of mankind and making for a better world. In his reflection, you can see that his eyes have considered the whole scope of life, not mere "nearsightedness" but rather - he universally testifies of what his eyes have seen and what his heart has considered. A true visionary, and a true Christian! He is now one of my respected hero's. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

Throughout the lens of time, the Bible has become - too many - a great story, a motivational message, an inspiring journey, and even time's another history book. Denominations, doctrines, religions, and even congregations have gathered together under the assumption of the readers or listeners interpretation, and not necessarily under the authoritative "life-changing power" of the "Words of God". For conforming the message of God into a culturally characterized story, rather than respecting its transforming power desensitizes its listeners and blurs God's Holy message. Hebrew 4:12-13 states "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and lay bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." The fragility of interpretation, rather than God-inspired "revelation" has been a catalyst to many wars, division, and not the source of faith, unity, hope, and love. Not reverencing the "authoritative" power of Scripture unrestraint its readers and listeners and allows for a chaotic, perverse, and crocked road rather than a straight one. For Holy Scripture states in 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Simply teaching and/or interpreting Scripture without using it to correct, rebuke, and train oneself and those who you come in contact with is a damaging witness to the authoritative "Words of God". #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

The “Abrahamic Covenant” is an eternal covenant which GOD HAS MADE WITH MAN, and is contingent on his unfailing character, and the submission and obedience of a believer. It is a promise which depicts the grand love of an almighty Father, weaving and guiding his children to the fullness of his revelation and blessings. God in his unconditional goodness and favor clearly reveals that he is at work in every aspect of his promise to make it come into fulfillment. Thus, reflecting in his promise, we also see an intangible substance embedded within the fiber of his covenant which is “faith”. Faith as stated in Hebrew 11 states “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for”. In Hebrew 11:6 states “and without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” And finally, Genesis 15:6 states “Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.” Faith was the substance that drove Abraham from Ur to Canaan, from Bethel to the Negev, from the Negev to Egypt, from Egypt back to Bethel and so on……. We are all considered “children of faith (Abraham)” for those who believe (Romans 10, Romans 4:16). It is my contention, and food for thought, that this unconditional Covenant is revealed and dispersible to those who believe and who are people of faith. Could this then be a condition? :) #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

Interpretation, as defined by the bibliology text, states that interpretation is subject to "the individual's understanding". It is vital to take into account that our understanding can easily be determined by internal as well as external influences. Most of the time culture, age, morals, values, emotions, academic training, opinions, and a number of other elements can easily form the framework (paradigms) by what we determine to be true. Our interpretations may vary from culture, place, and even time, but the truth is God-breathed and eternal. The Lord clearly states in his Word "your ways are not my ways, and your thought is not my thoughts." When receiving "revelation" God normally extends the borders of your paradigms and reveals the truth which will ultimately catapult you into a greater understanding of God's nature, plans, purpose, and message. Thus, freeing you from your own limited knowledge. Inspiration, on the other hand, as defined by the bibliology text states that inspiration is "the accurate recording of God's truth". This recording is an integrative work of God, working with and through man, to record without error his (God's) unveiling truth, a truth which is always accurate, authoritative, and revealing. In other words, interpretation is subject to error, but revelation and inspiration are eternally true and God-breathed. Coming from the very heart, breath, and nature of God.
