THE FORM OF GOD [POSSESSING THE
FULLNESS OF THE ATTRIBUTES
WHICH MAKE GOD GOD], DID NOT
THINK THIS EQUALITY WITH GOD
WAS A THING TO BE EAGERLY
GRASPED OR RETAINED,
7 BUT STRIPPED HIMSELF [OF ALL
PRIVILEGES AND RIGHTFUL DIGNITY],
SO AS TO ASSUME THE GUISE OF A
SERVANT (SLAVE), IN THAT HE
BECAME LIKE MEN AND WAS BORN A
HUMAN BEING.
8 AND AFTER HE HAD APPEARED IN
HUMAN FORM, HE ABASED AND
HUMBLED HIMSELF [STILL FURTHER]
AND CARRIED HIS OBEDIENCE TO
THE EXTREME OF DEATH, EVEN THE
DEATH OF THE CROSS!
9 THEREFORE [BECAUSE HE
STOOPED SO LOW] GOD HAS HIGHLY
EXALTED HIM AND HAS FREELY
BESTOWED ON HIM THE NAME THAT
IS ABOVE EVERY NAME,
10 THAT IN (AT) THE NAME OF JESUS
EVERY KNEE SHOULD (MUST) BOW,
IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND
UNDER THE EARTH,
11 AND EVERY TONGUE [FRANKLY
AND OPENLY] CONFESS AND
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT JESUS CHRIST
IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE
FATHER.
Jesus—the NAME which is ABOVE
every name! Poverty, you're a name.
Cancer, you're a name. Bow your knee
to the Name of Jesus. Well, you can
see what you're going to be hearing in
2024! I believe you can also
understand why we continually say
with so much joy: "God Loves you, we
Love you, and Jesus is LORD!"
HELD IN BONDAGE THROUGHOUT
THE WHOLE COURSE OF THEIR LIVES.
16 FOR, AS WE ALL KNOW, HE
[CHRIST] DID NOT TAKE HOLD OF
ANGELS [THE FALLEN ANGELS, TO
GIVE THEM A HELPING AND
DELIVERING HAND], BUT HE DID
TAKE HOLD OF [THE FALLEN]
DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM [TO
REACH OUT TO THEM A HELPING AND
DELIVERING HAND].
17 SO IT IS EVIDENT THAT IT WAS
ESSENTIAL THAT HE BE MADE LIKE
HIS BRETHREN IN EVERY RESPECT, IN
ORDER THAT HE MIGHT BECOME A
MERCIFUL (SYMPATHETIC) AND
FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST IN THE
THINGS RELATED TO GOD, TO MAKE
ATONEMENT AND PROPITIATION FOR
THE PEOPLE'S SINS.
18 FOR BECAUSE HE HIMSELF [IN HIS
HUMANITY] HAS SUFFERED IN BEING
TEMPTED (TESTED AND TRIED), HE IS
ABLE [IMMEDIATELY] TO RUN TO THE
CRY OF (ASSIST, RELIEVE) THOSE
WHO ARE BEING TEMPTED AND
TESTED AND TRIED [AND WHO
THEREFORE ARE BEING EXPOSED TO
SUFFERING].
That, my dear brothers and sisters in
Christ, is the gospel—the good news.
Shout that 14th verse: "BRING TO
NOUGHT"! Hebrews 11:1-6 (AMPC).
ZERO the one who HAD the power of
death. Philippians 2:5-11, AMPC, says:
5 LET THIS SAME ATTITUDE AND
PURPOSE AND [HUMBLE] MIND BE IN
YOU WHICH WAS IN CHRIST JESUS:
[LET HIM BE YOUR EXAMPLE IN
HUMILITY:]

ESSENTIALLY ONE WITH GOD AND IN
