Here, we unveil the identity of God (the Master Spirit), the angels (ministering spirits) and man (the manifest spirit; not manifest spirits - take note of this!)
At the top end, we have God the Father; Son and Holy Spirit; the three perfect persons who are all full, identical expressions of the Godhead; only that they serve in three different capacities or personalities. At this, God the Father; as His Name suggests; is the source of everything that pertains to life within this vast universe. He is the source of all light (both visible and invisible), all strength, love, peace, genuine beauty, vitality/health, faithfulness, etc such that, besides Him, we can never experience what true love, strength, beauty, health or peace is. In this way, no peace in this world can ever fulfill your heart and mine like the organic peace which originates from God (Philippians 4:7). The Father is thus the source of all life and all existence; He is the person within the Godhead who brings forth entire realities out of nothing. You can compare Him to a sponsor within the context of let’s say; a well-functional philanthropic organization - which represents this vast universe which we all live in. In this way, the Father is the Creator or the one whom Scripture constantly refers to as God (Genesis 1:1). Based on the fact that God is Spirit (John 4:23-24), everything that originated from Him is first of all Spirit before it becomes visible to the naked eye. This then leads us to the second-in-command; God the Son.
God the Son; the word of God (John 1:1-4); defines and then constructs the physical structure within which every Spiritual reality that has been sourced from God will be housed. The ultimate example of this is man, whom; after being conceived by God as a Spiritual reality, was defined as a soul by Jesus Christ (the Lord God) and then constructed for a body within which the man could be able to find physical expression (Genesis 2:7). In the same way, Jesus Christ (the Lord God) defined the entire structure of the whole universe and then He proceeded to construct the entire physical thing with His mighty hand after the Father had made it a Spiritual reality (Colossians 1:15-16). In this way, as the Father provides the resource whose use-case gets defined by the Son before the Son proceeds to convert this now-defined reality into a visible thing. This should enable you better understand Psalm 139:14 whereby David reckons that the Lord God saw his unformed body and even knew all the days ordained for him before any one of them came to be - it is the Lord who wrote the entirety of David's life, as well as yours and mine. Truly, He is the author (definer) and perfecter/finisher (maker) of our faith as believers (Hebrews 12:2). He speaks and then He does; a pattern that coan also be seen throughout His entire earthly ministry whereby He always taught before proceeding to perform miracles. He stands out as being the light of the world (John 8:12); the light whose source is the Father. In this way, Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father (John 3:16); the knowledge and wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:30). The Son then becomes the Maker or the one whom Scripture constantly refers to as the Lord God (Genesis 2:4).
Finally, we have God the Spirit who is the seed of God; the person God who gets to function uniquely through creation so as to demonstrate the nature and glory of God within the physical to God's good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). The Spirit works within the core of the physical so as to demonstrate what life is through the seen world; life which has its origin within the Spirit (Galatians 3:3). Ultimately, the Spirit of God works within the body of man through his soul so that man is empowered to demonstrate the image and likeness of God through His divine understanding and his capacity to relate with God as a friend. At the core of his being, the born-again man has God's heart and is able to reason with God on all aspects of life such that the two can partner to ensure that whatever God has established in heaven gets established on earth. The capacity for this partnership to establish God's will on earth through man is centered on one key thing: the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Through man's fruit of love, for instance, God can proceed to demonstrate a culture of love on earth by empowering the man Spiritually to generate a kind of wealth that gets to not only serve the man but also serve those whom God desires this man to demonstrate love to. This is the basic principle of the working of the Spirit of God in man. It is the seed of God man which gets to bear fruit; first Spiritual and finally, physical fruit; all to God's glory. On the other hand, the Spirit of God also uniquely drives the rest of creation through well-elaborated divine principles to ensure that God's perfect order of things within the Spiritual world gets established within the physical world. The Spirit works from within so as to bring about an outward display of God's nature. In this way, the best place to look for identity is always within ourselves; not outside.
In this way, the Godhead provides an intricate framework that serves as an algorithm of how man is meant to function: sourcing everything good from the Father, learning from the Son how to put God's gift into good use and leaning on the inner-empowerment of the Holy Spirit to fulfill God's perfect will.
In this way, the Father sourced the Spiritual realities of the heavens and earth which which the Son proceeded to define and then make. Finally, the talented Spirit of God began to inwardly-facilitate every single operation of this universe. To this extent; whatever God sources, defines, makes and then empowers; the entire universe manifests it according to His good pleasure or overall desire (Revelation 4:11). He is then the Master Spirit who provides the origin of everything there is. Looking then at how vast this universe is, we can only determine that God is indeed unmatched in originality and expression; He is beyond definition by mere words.
When the Father created this miniature version of Himself that could be able to manifest any of His personified traits, behaviors or habits; from laughter, to sorrow, intellect and reason; love, peace, strength, etc; the Son, using the dust of earth; was able to trap this miniature version of God within an earthen vessel. This earthen vessel; based on God’s unmatched creativity; has different parts (eyes, a tongue and lips, ears, hands, legs, etc) through which man, inwardly a spirit, can be able to channel out or make manifest the different attributes of God. These can be actions that demonstrate God's love, peace, laughter, sorrow, joy, intellect, singing ability, strength, etc. In this beautiful way, man is the manifest spirit through which God’s express identity can be felt and also observed throughout all creation.
Indeed, man is basically the manifestation of God whose spiritual identity is well-beyond measure (as there is no limit to what any man can do who is in God unless as determined by God) but whose boundaries have been soundly set by the principles by that govern earth so that at best; man gets to operate at God’s very level in keeping with the boundaries that have been set on earth. These boundaries are what keep earth well in order - otherwise, these are the laws or principles by which man lives or functions. In this way, we can afford ourselves the good understanding that man’s most powerful weapon isn’t his unmatched ability which is all God-derived but His meekness which keeps him as grounded as the earth is.
Thus, man is able to make manifest God’s unique personality in a manner that is perfectly-orderly as determined by the principles that govern earth. In this way, man won’t be able to make manifest, let’s say; both laughter and sorrow at the same time or both distress and peace simultaneously. This would make man appear mad; not at all gifted or capable. You should then be able to understand why God had to do this: make His image in man. Ultimately, only God can contain Himself and this He does through sticking to His Word. The earth and the heavens; as Scripture puts it; cannot contain Him. It only then takes God’s image, man, to put God on display in His most understandable nature as man is contained by earth.
Man in this case is made to manifest only one unique attribute of God at a time and generally; one of the billions of personalities that are existent within God; our source. In this way, we are also one as humans; one in identity and yet existent in different personalities - the same way the Godhead is. Between God and man; for the purpose of ensuring that God’s different attributes are revealed through man in a manner that is not chaotic; there exist ministering spirits (angels), who serve to translate individual attributes of God one at a time to men (be it God’s strength, His communication, His singing capabilities, etc). Angels have been created and made for the purpose of attending to (serving) men based on what each man needs to put on display at a time.
In this way, we can observe the fact that there are different Archangels as well as common angels whereby each one has been afforded a specific attribute of God with each attribute performing a specific purpose within the universe. For instance, Archangel Michael only demonstrates God’s strength in its very fullness while the Archangel Gabriel presides over God’s vast communication network; through which he is able to equip men with unique spiritual insights. Generally, angels have also been made with physical elements that bring out their unique attributes in the best manner possible. For instance, some have been made purely from fire while others have been made out of precious stone; each for unique purposes. On the other hand, others have been crafted as musical instruments whose sole purpose is to deliver Spirit-inspired songs to men (this is why you find that some songs actually speak to the spirit within us; not just our minds. These are songs which have been delivered by angels).
Since God’s attributes are then unlimited in measure, billions of these ministering spirits exist within the spiritual world. Each ministering spirit gets to connect with the spirits of specific men one at a time so that man will be able to make manifest an attribute like God’s strength at one time and then His singing ability at the other time. These ministering spirits don’t just minister to men but also to the other aspects of God’s vast creation such as the sun; alongside other celestial bodies; whose well-determined course is presided over by Archangel Uriel. In fact, all knowledge that humanity has been able to obtain across history was either obtained from God Himself through different ministering spirits (angels of light) or from the devil through fallen angels (as the devil took up the good knowledge of God and corrupted it to serve his own desires). Ultimately, all this knowledge isn't ours; we as men only stand to be taught as little children on account of our ability to manifest it through our beautifully-designed neuronal networks. Surely, Scripture reveals that there are only two kinds of wisdom; the wisdom of God and the fallen wisdom of the serpent (Satan).
For instance, Moses obtained the Law that governed Israel from God Himself through an angel who dictated it to Him at Mt. Sinai. He didn’t come up with it on his own and surely also; God didn’t just directly deliver it to Him. He had to deliver it through His trusted messenger.
In this intricate way, we have God as the Master Spirit who is the origin of all things; the angels who are ministering spirits that preside over or service the different aspects of God’s creation and man; the manifest spirit who has been afforded the special capacity to mirror God in all His ways in a manner that is most understandable by earth. This is how perfectly God; being the infinite personality from whom everything originates; has set the order of things from beginning to end. Surely, you only need to find His Son as He is the only personality within the Godhead who is fully in touch with both the spiritual and physical dimensions which gives Him the capacity to lead you and me to the Father. It is the Son who made you and me and it is still only He who can restore both of us back to our original perfection in God. In fact, in His perfect obedience to God's Word, He allowed Himself become man just so that He could be able to demonstrate to me and you how to best mirror God in our daily living. Surely, when you see Christ, you've already seen the Father. Glory to God!
