“And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.” ~ Exodus 34:35 REFERENCE: Exodus 34:29-35 The redeemed man can receive, retain, and reveal the glory of God because He possesses the very life of God. When Christ came into you by the Spirit of God, the Zoe (eternal and supernatural life) of God entered you. It is a divine substance that can be communicated to people or things around you; the challenge...
“And He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.” ~ Matthew 17:2 REFERENCE: Matthew 17:1-8 Why should you be a possessor of the life of God if it is unable to flow into your world? One reason God breathed His life into you and me is so that we can transmit that life to whoever we come in contact with. The life of God is a living substance like an electric charge that can be transmitted to whoever it touches once it flows within a substance (a...
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” ~ John 10:10 REFERENCE: John 10:7-10 Jesus did not just come into the world to save us from sins or to make us Christians; He brought something more than that – He came to give us the very life of God. He said I have come that you may have abundant life; the amplified classic version calls it ‘full life and overflowing life.’ You and I are possessors of...
“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” – Luke 2:14 REFERENCE: Luke 2:6-14 More than having a company of trumpeters or an advanced party to herald Jesus’ coming, His coming signaled the end of pain and the commencement of victory. This good news came after four hundred dark years of no express revelation or communication from God. This birth of Jesus ended the enmity between God and man; that is why it brought goodwill toward men. Goodwill means our God's kindness, generosity, and favor towards mankind. God no longer holds man’s trespasses...
“…Behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His Star in the East and have come to worship Him.” ~ Matthew 2:1-2 REFERENCE: Matthew 2:1-11 Why would God let Persian stargazers see a star in the East when Jesus was born? This Star was meant to light up the world, bringing gentiles and the worst of sinners to the light of God. Jesus came at a time when man was lost, bound, hopeless, and in need of redemption. His came like a...
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” ~ Matthew 1:21 REFERENCE: Matthew 1:18-25 The biggest problem that mankind has (or had) is the sin problem. By Adam’s treason in the Garden of Eden against God, sin separated man from his fellowship with God; it robbed him of his divine nature, glory, perfect knowledge, and immortality. Mankind was now subject to the forces of nature and became a victim when. Indeed, he was supposed to rule as a king. Sin damns the soul to...
“So it was when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” ~ Luke 2:15 REFERENCE: Luke 2:8-19 God put great honor on the town of Bethlehem on the day our Savior, Jesus Christ, was born. Micah prophesied many years before, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in...
