Captivate Thoughts: See The Universal Framework of The Word of God — The New Creation Revelation, Andrew’s Heart and Story
…”What does it profit a (person) to gain the whole world, and forfeit (their) life?” — Jesus, Mark 8:36 AMPC.
The following verses form a Cento Poem, Cento being Latin for “patchwork,” in this case, of Bible verses. Cento poetry is when the entries seem random, but if read in the order listed, the passages together make a cohesive stream of thought.
I don’t pick the patchwork of verses, they simply come to me sometimes, during periods of my life when I’m thinking about God. He explains Himself to me in the best way I can understand, which is associatively. He chooses the despised and rejected to do His will, because no one would believe they can do it in their own strength. “These things are revealed by The Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:10).
In the following passages, slanted text marks an associatively interlinked thread of thought flowing through and inside verses.
Hebrews 11:3 AMP
By (trust) we understand that the worlds (universes, ages) were framed and created by The Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
2 Corinthians 10:5 AMPC
[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ.
Colossians 1:16-17 AMPC
16 For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; .
17 And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things (hold together).
Psalm 139:17-18 NLT
17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!
18 I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!
John 6:63 AMPC
“It is The Spirit Who gives life; the (old nature) conveys no benefit whatever. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.” — Jesus
Ephesians 1:3 AMPC
May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (The Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by The Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm!
2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
1 Corinthians 2:10 AMPC
Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for The [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God.
John 14:6 AMPC
Jesus said to him, “I am The Way and The Truth and The Life; no one comes to The Father except by Me.”
The Kindgom is not physical, but Spiritual — like translucent, or see-through gold — what The New Jerusalem is made of, as symbolized in Revelation.
It trains attention to move from the many to The One: from ordinary perceptions, through Scriptural associations, toward Christ as the center in whom all things consist.
Two of the above paragraphs were made with the help of AI, but directed and corrected by me, to be true to how I word it.What could a person lose, if they gain and learn to enjoy the totality of reality, life, and God, by The Holy Spirit?
