A prayer for God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Creative Project - Essentials in Worship Theology
The Creative Project I have done is a thank you prayer about the three persons of the Trinity. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I remember reading in 'Simply Christian' by N.T. Wright that he missed songs and prayers about treating the 3 Persons of the Trinity equally and individually.
It starts off thanking God for creating this beautiful world, Gen.1. Then creating us Gen. 1: 26 - 27. The phrase 'Thankyou that you are greater than our minds or any formula' comes from[1].
The 2nd verse is about Jesus the Son of God. [2]'The whole point of Jesus's work was to bring heaven to earth and join them together forever, to bring God's future into the present and make it stick there.' Through the media and books I've read, Israel worshipped God in the temple in Jerusalem where heaven and earth met. When Jesus came it was through Him that heaven and earth met. Jesus died as He was the perfect Lamb for the sacrifice. Jesus rose again so that we can be forever with Him.
The final verse is about the Holy Spirit. That in our hearts is where heaven and earth meet. We are temples of God. The Holy Spirit is in us, transforming us. The gifts are spiritual gifts. The fruit of the Spirit is found in Gals. 6:22-23. When we were created by God we were made to be creative, so each of us has a vocation that is applicable to us and only us. The Holy Spirit helps us in our praying, inspires us when we read God's word and speaks to us when we listen to Him. The Holy Spirit is the person that helps us speak out God's story to those who are lost, helps us when we are praying for healing and delivereance. His power and authority is amazing!
The last sentence comes from writing my blog 'Return to Learn - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit'. We have not treated the 3 persons of the Trinity as equal.
The last phrase re. the power and authority is from 'The Great Commission' MAtt. 28: 18 - 20.
