WHERE EXACTLY DO WE LIKLY SEE JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT? It's the important issue of “theophanies" and “Christophanies." "Theos" is God and the rest of the word means “appearances." "Christos" is "Christ" so Christophanies is the theological term meaning this: Even though Jesus took on a human-flesh virgin birth at His First Coming, a lot of theologians say, because He's eternal, prior to that time, there were preincarnate (before Christ took on a human body), experiences of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. How can He do that? Well, He is God, which means He's eternal, being able to appear whenever He'd like. But the time we focus on is when He became a baby that grew to be a man, who saved the world by dying on a cross for our sins. A few quick Old Testament examples are these: First, the many appearances of the "Angel of the Lord."; Some say that very well could have been Jesus. And it's not alarming to say “angel" for Jesus because the term actually means "messenger," or "angelos" in Greek. So in the Old Testament instances with the "Angel of the Lord, or "messenger of the Lord," Jesus the Son delivered the message Himself. It does not mean He's an angel. Other possible appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament are Genesis Chapter 12, where the Lord appeared to Abraham. Some say that's also an example of Christophany and theophany. Genesis 18 tells us Abraham had two angel visitors, along with God himself. So some say that was probably Jesus. Genesis 32 was Jacob wrestling all night long with a man, which, instead, was God. Who do you think that probably was? Again, many would say it was probably a preincarnate Jesus. Other possibilities are in Exodus 24 and Deuteronomy 31. So examples go on and on and you can look deeper into it if you'd
like to learn more about those kind of Christology issues. | image tagged in christ,old testament,bible,jesus,god,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

DO YOU HAVE INTIMACY WITH GOD? The American Church is under attack and the Body of Christ has fallen under a horrible epidemic where supposed believers in God no longer do. Believe it or not, we now have Churches full of people who are living like practical atheists. We say we believe in God, but half the time, with our lips and lives, we act like He's not even there. This is not only detrimental to our walk with God, it also keeps others from believing in Him. To avoid this irony of Christian's living like practical atheists, our series, "The Intimacy of God," reveals that, even though God is Independent and Immense, He still wants a personal relationship with each one of us. And if you truly understand this, it will Change Your Prayers, Singing, Walk, and Loneliness. This is the awesome message we have the privilege to tell to the nations: God not only exists, but through Jesus Christ, people really can have an intimate personal relationship with the Creator of the universe!? However, if the world is ever going to believe our message, then you and I must stop acting like practical atheists and start demonstrating by our lips, as well as our lives, that God is Personal. | image tagged in god,relationship,jesus,bible,intimacy,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

HAVE YOU SEEN SPIRITUAL WARFARE? One day a parishioner's grandfather had a heart attack and looked like he was not going to make it. So they called me to say, "Go witness to him!” I don’t mean to be mean but I’m thinking, "Why don't you go witness to him?" I will but we should not wait for a pastor; we should all go. Anyway, I went and started to witness in the hospital room with just me and the old gentleman; God gave us an open window. I felt led to give my testimony so I talked about how I used to really hate Christians, thinking they were just dumb duped idiots, and I tried every religion on the planet but nothing worked until the moment I cried out to Jesus. Instantly I was saved from all the demons, drugs, and immorality. I received a new heart, mind, and life! At this point the old fella was starting to tear up and I'm thinking, “Praise God!--Oh boy, yes, this is cool!” At that point the wife came in and sat in a chair across the bed. As we were at the important moment when I'm literally saying, "And would you like to pray and receive," all of a sudden his wife 
stood up and became like a cat on a hot-tin roof. She kept interrupting “Oh, he’s fine,” or “Leave him alone,” every time I tried getting him back to the salvation prayer. I thought, "Whoa, what's going on?" Just when she had calmed down and I got back to, "Would you like to pray and receive,” a doctor with a red bindi dot on his forehead came in; he was a Hindu doctor. So then I knew it was full-on spiritual war for this poor guys soul! Something or someone really wanted that man to go to hell. Unfortunately that's when the visit had to end but it wasn't the end of this story. Some days later, the same grandson who asked me to go to the hospital, also had me perform the funeral. At that solemn occasion, a brother of the old man who had passed, came up and thanked me, (too which I normally try pointing appreciation to God). I asked why? He said his brother had completely changed right before he died. So I can't say for certain, but it sounds like, just before dying a few days earlier, the old fella got past the spiritual warfare, started trusting in the Lord, and found that
same peace I had received many years earlier. | image tagged in spirit,warfare,god,bible,christian,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

EVEN WITH TODAY'S WORLD AS CRAZY AS IT IS, DO YOU EXPERIENCE GOD’S PEACE? 
Our world is growing more unhinged by the minute and the Bible tells us it will get much worse before getting better. Folks are frantic, freaking out, and beside themselves; sadly that includes Christians, even though we should be the most peaceful people on the planet. Why? Because, as a born-again Christian, God has already given us His peace! Our series, "Experiencing God's Peace," takes a look at the various ways we get tricked and seduced as Christians into short-circuiting the peace of God from flowing in our lives. These tricks lead us into having a Misplaced; Mind, Lifestyle, Focus, Attitude, Behavior, Understanding, and Posture. If you are tired of reading the Bible in one hand and looking at your life in the other saying, “Something is wrong here! Why don’t I experience the peace of God that He’s already given me!?” the answer is simple: You need to relearn how to Experience the amazing and tranquilizing peace of God once again-or maybe even for the first time. | image tagged in peace,god,bible,christian,jesus,life | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
