A description of God simplified
The Bible is clear that God is (1) entity. Three distinct personalities - The Father, Jesus; the Holy Spirit. To bring more clarity on God let me give you a few illustrations about singular words that have plural meanings.
John 16: 13-14...Howbeit when :"he", the Spirit of truth, is come, "he" will guide you into all truth: for "he" shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever "he" shall hear, that shall "he" speak: and "he" will shew you things to come. "He" shall glorify me: for "he" shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
- The body of Christ is (1) body yet has many members. 1 Corinthians 12
- A husband and wife are joined together in matrimony to become (1) flesh yet there are (2) people involved. Ephesians 5:31
- An ice cube, steam, and water are all (1) substance in (3) different forms - H2O.
- The egg white, the egg yolk, and the shell all (1) egg in (3) different forms.
- God said, "Let us make man in our own image" (1) God plural in meaning. Genesis 1:26
John 16: 13-14...Howbeit when :"he", the Spirit of truth, is come, "he" will guide you into all truth: for "he" shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever "he" shall hear, that shall "he" speak: and "he" will shew you things to come. "He" shall glorify me: for "he" shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Jesus, the son of God was born holy and filled with the Spirit
Jesus was born "holy"...Luke 1:35...therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Jesus was filled with the Spirit "without measure" from birth...John 3:34...For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him
Jesus was led of the Spirit into temptation...Luke 4:1-2...And Jesus being "full of the Holy Ghost" returned from Jordan, and was "led by the Spirit" into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil.
Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit at John's Baptism where the Spirit descended on Him like a dove: after the baptism which John preached; Acts 10:37,38...How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
Jesus was "full" of the Eternal Spirit when He suffered and died in the cross...Heb. 9:14...How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
When Jesus saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him at John's Baptism...He was at the age of thirty which allowed Him according to law (Torah) to minister God's Word. Jesus stated, "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness"...Jesus was set aside for the ministry...anointed of God and inaugurated into the Priesthood.
Psalm 110:4...The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Heb. 7:26-28...For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

The person of Christ…"now".
The person of Christ the invisible God..in whom we place our faith. Getting beyond the death of Christ takes us to a place of faith….not by sight. Faith gets beyond the suffering Savior and takes to a place of resurrection and exaltation. The resurrection of Christ from the tomb is hard to fathom in human intellect. Only faith can be placed in the evidence not seen.
Everyone knows what Christ did 2000 years ago…but what’s Christ doing now, present tense today from His Throne of Grace? Are you in Christ today? Is Christ in you today? What about having His witness in your heart? What about the power of Salvation in your soul and body? What about being, living, and walking like children of God? Let’s examine the person of our enthroned Christ and His effect upon the heart and life of a child of God. Christ, In whom…In whom…In whom…
In whom we have…redemption even the forgiveness of sins
In whom we have…obtained an inheritance
In whom…we trusted
In whom…we believed
In whom…we are “sealed” with the Holy Spirit
In whom we are…builded together as a habitation of God through the Spirit
Christ is a living Savior…in whom we have and in whom we are new creatures in Christ. We are His workmanship “created in Christ Jesus”. The Bible says “In Him” we live, move, and have our being. As you have received Christ, “walk in Him”. There is no condemnation to those who are ”in Christ”. In His person. In HIs character, and in His make-up. We are members of His holy body. By whom we have access through faith… into the power of God’s Divine Grace.
Christ is a living personality seated at the right hand of the Father. Christ is alive! Now! Christ makes new creatures now! Christ is with the Father now! By Christ all things consist. Christ in you “proves” you are made new by God. You have hope when Christ is in you and you’re in Christ. You have hope and are without condemnation when you’re in Christ. Don’t walk in the flesh. Walk in the Spirit. Walk in Christ and let Christ live though your character and make-up. Prove what is acceptable to Him.
We serve a risen Savior who is Lord of our lives. Chris has all power over the flesh! Christ has all authority over sin! As many as are “led” by Christ, these believers are definitely children of God. Christ is alive and keeps our hearts pure and right. He is able. He does because He is…God. It’s the person of Christ that produces holiness of heart and holiness of conduct in the child of God’s state of being and present life on earth. Without faith its impossible to have Christ. Without Christ its impossible to please God.
Christ in you is your ” future hope”…if you keep and don’t depart from faith in Him. His person is morally powerful! His person is so powerful that a sinner can be made and saint of God. So powerful that a believer can live holy and right! Through committment Christ will “keep” you. It’s His person that forgives and morally changes the human soul. It’s His person that enacts and produces holiness of character in you.
It’s all about Christ “in whom” we have so great a Salvation that the world often misunderstands. Christ “in whom” we are saved and changed. Christ “in whom” we are blessed by the power of His Holy Spirit. Christ “in whom” makes us witnesses in all the world to glorify Him and bring honor to His Holy name. Let the name of Christ be known “in all the world!”

God sent His son, Jesus
In the realm of diverse religions around the globe Christians have a profound truth that no other religion in the world can proclaim. “God sent His own son“…and records of the Bible prove such Truth with great magnitude.
For instance, the prophetic virgin birth of Christ (in the Old Testment records) gives profound evidence and proves such Biblical Truth in the highest degree. The father brought His “first” and “only begotten son” into the world. The virgin Mary “who knew no man before” conceived and brought forth this child of God. His name was called “Jesus”. No other religion anywhere in the world can offer such a profound Bibical Truth that is written.
Some religions however; do not recognize the fact that Jesus was God’s Son (Jews included). Some religions do not recognize the fact that through the Son…God promised to “bruise” the authority of Satan in Gen. 3:15. Bruising simply implies and gives credit to the fact that Jesus the Son of God has “all authority” and makes God’s enemies (sin, the flesh, and the Devil) His own footsool. The Apostle John (1 John 3:8) confirmed this great promise of the Son by saying, “He that committeth sin is of the Devil, for this purpose the Son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the Devil”. The Son of God was manifested in human form. The Son of God is now manifested in the Spirit from His exalted position in Heaven. Why? To make the sin of man His footstool according to the promise of God. Christ delivers men from sin.
In the sonship of Christ we have the the second person of the Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) descending from Heaven. In this miraculous descension you have Christ the seed of the Father being placed in the womb of the Virgin Mary, thus being conceived into human form, and thus coming forth as the son of God (who some term as the incarnation). After the birth of Christ as the eight days according to the Law of Moses were accomplished, Mary had Jesus circumcised. Mary thus raised Jesus under the Law of Moses and by the Spirit of God Jesus at the age of 12 went into the Temple and observed the teaching (Luke 2:27). In this earthly descension of the Son of God you had a heavenly Christ “who stepped down to humanity” from His heavenly position. God’s Son thus became a mere man according to promise. Jesus, the Son of God was born in a manger in Bethlehem according to prophecy in Micah 5:2. Scriptures teach us Jesus was “begotten of God” and had the Holy Spirit from birth “without measure”.
John 3:34…For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
At the Baptism of John when Jesus (at the age of 30 years according to Mosaic Law) was annointed to be a High Priest… The Father audibly spoke from Heaven, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”… God called Jesus His Son.
At the end of the presentation of the Kingdom message to Israel, when Jesus was 33 years of age the Kingdom message changed to a message of his suffering, death, and resurrection. Jesus charged the disciples that they would tell no man of such change… Matthew 16:20. In Matthew 17:1-7…Jesus was “transfigured” on the Mount as He gave the disciples a glimpse of His “glorified body” that would happen in the resurrection. God audibly spoke again, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”. Biblical Records confirm the truth of God’s audible voice concerning His dear Son, Jesus.
This evidence of the Christian Bible clearly proves that God sent His Son down from Heaven. As a matter of fact… The Bible calls Jesus the “only begotten of God” or the “firstborn from the dead”. Both terms simply imply… the Son God. Records of the Bible clearly state that…God never spoke such truth to the angels… but He did speak to His Son. Psalm 45.
Hebrews 1:5-9…For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness isthe sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God,
The Son of God was prophesied in the book Psalms…
Psalm 2:7…I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee
The Jewish religious body proclaims the above prophecy is speaking of King David only but they run into a big snag with Psalm 110:1 which states, “The Lord said unto my Lord”… Here’s why. The Jews tried to trick Jesus with their evil heart of rejection. In return Jesus challenged these rejectors of truth by asking, “If the Psalms speak of King David, then who was David speaking of in Psalm 110 when He declared, “the Lord said unto my Lord sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footsool”. Not one single Jew could respond to the truth of Prophecy.
The Scriptures are clear that Jesus was God’s Son. Even Jesus himself…agreed to being the Son God when questioned by the High Priest of the Sanhedrin…
Mark 15:61-62…art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed? Jesus said, “I am”.
In the big scope of things…Jesus was the Son of God and the Bible proves such truth. As a Christian your faith is built on and comes from what God said about the promised Messiah…Jesus the Christ. No other religion in the world can offer such concrete evidence of “love for fallen man” that Jesus the Son of God… was and is the Savior of the world.
1 John 4:9,10…In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Hosanna! Glory to God in the highest! Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord!

The "Lord" said unto my "Lord"...
Psalm 110:1 A prophecy made by David about the "Lord" speaking unto the "Lord". Two Lords mentioned in Psalms.
The Father prophetically spoke unto Jesus, "Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool". The Lord our righteouness. He who descended to the lower parts of the Earth as a man and then resurrected from the grave. He who was glorified and is now ascended into Heaven with the Father, again. An exalted Christ far above all principalities who has made all enemies including the Devil...His footstool.
The head of the Church who controls all things in human life. The chief cornerstone. Ruling from Heaven now. Seated in the Throneroom. Spoken by the Prophet David. The Lord our God who is forevermore! Glory! It's true! It happened! David wrote it!
The Lord said unto my Lord sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Bible Truth that builds our faith in both Lords. It's true! It actually happened! Two persons, two Lords. Read it!

The Virgin Mary
The Mother of Christ. A virgin woman chosen of God to bear the son of God, Jesus Christ. Like every member of the human family Mary, the mother of Christ was born in sin and shapen in inquity. God chose Mary to enter the race of fallen man through a mere human being that needed a Savior like every other human being in existence. Mary is in Heaven today because she needed a Savior just like all humanity needs a Savior.
In the narrative of Saint Luke 1:46,47 we find the words of Mary recited as follows, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior"...It was not human merit or personal holiness that qualified Mary, the mother of Jesus. It was God's Divinity that placed His seed into the womb of a virgin member of this fallen race to beget His Son, Jesus by the life of God within that woman. Through that incarnation and death on the cross every fallen member of the human family may find a way to be raised by God through the same Spirit of Holiness. A Spirit of Holiness that raised Christ from the grave and placed the Divine seed into the womb of the Virgin Mary.

Jesus possesses "all" authority
When Jesus appeared in the sea of time, He could give the Apostles authority because He possessed all authority in heaven and earth. Being very God and very man, He had all authority. He had authority in heaven and earth at the same time. He could have called 10,000 angels to come and deliver Him from soldiers leading Him to Pontius Pilate. He had authority to do so. He also exercised His authority on earth by commanding the winds to obey His voice. The sea then became calm. What a beautiful lesson! All He did was speak to the wind and storm and they obeyed him. He had control over all the natural laws of life. Not only did Jesus have authority over the laws of nature, He likewise could delegate His authority.
God permitted Satan to use laws of nature to bring a curse upon Job and his family. Jesus gave the Apostles power and authority over nature during His earthly ministry. The Scripture reveals that God allows Satan to manifest himself through earthly elements that are under the curse of the fall; only to the extent that we allow him to operate, whether through ignorance or deception.
Regardless of what tragedy befalls us, whether by a direct attack of Satan as in Job's case or as a result of the fall, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us:
Rom 8:37...in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
The material things of earth are not demonic in themselves but demonic forces can use them. If the Devil can get your mind focused on earthly things, they will drive you mad. A diamond ring or a Rolls Royce can be just as demonic as a Ouija board or a crystal ball. The Devil and the demons can use these things if they can get your attention. A crystal ball is only demonic when you believe that demons can work through it. A Ouija board is only demonic when you believe it has amazing power within itself. When you believe the superstitious idea that the sun, the moon, and the stars govern your life, astrology becomes demonic. Satan and demons use everything on this material earth against humanity. Not because they have authority in their own right, but through deception.
Jesus Christ has authority over everything on earth. Jesus commanded the demons to leave and they left. Please note that all He had to do was speak to them and they went. In Matthew 8:32, Jesus simply told the devils that possessed two demoniacs coming out of the tombs, "Go" and they went. Why? Jesus possesses "all" authority!
Matt 8:29-32...And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.That was all He needed to say.
Jesus was God! Jesus is God now! Jesus has authority over every affliction and disease. Here's an example of Jesus' authority when He told blind Bartimeaus:
Mark 10:52...and Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Here's another example of Jesus' authority as He told the woman with an issue of blood who touched the hem of His garment:
Matt 9:22...and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Jesus possesses all authority! This is all that was necessary for Jesus who is and was very God.
In another account we find:
John 4:46-53...And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
That son began to amend the very moment that Christ spoke because Christ has authority over disease. Jesus said to the Pharisee:
Matt 9:6-7...But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house.
This is the undeniable record of God's Word. Jesus possesses "all" authority.
God permitted Satan to use laws of nature to bring a curse upon Job and his family. Jesus gave the Apostles power and authority over nature during His earthly ministry. The Scripture reveals that God allows Satan to manifest himself through earthly elements that are under the curse of the fall; only to the extent that we allow him to operate, whether through ignorance or deception.
Regardless of what tragedy befalls us, whether by a direct attack of Satan as in Job's case or as a result of the fall, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us:
Rom 8:37...in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
The material things of earth are not demonic in themselves but demonic forces can use them. If the Devil can get your mind focused on earthly things, they will drive you mad. A diamond ring or a Rolls Royce can be just as demonic as a Ouija board or a crystal ball. The Devil and the demons can use these things if they can get your attention. A crystal ball is only demonic when you believe that demons can work through it. A Ouija board is only demonic when you believe it has amazing power within itself. When you believe the superstitious idea that the sun, the moon, and the stars govern your life, astrology becomes demonic. Satan and demons use everything on this material earth against humanity. Not because they have authority in their own right, but through deception.
Jesus Christ has authority over everything on earth. Jesus commanded the demons to leave and they left. Please note that all He had to do was speak to them and they went. In Matthew 8:32, Jesus simply told the devils that possessed two demoniacs coming out of the tombs, "Go" and they went. Why? Jesus possesses "all" authority!
Matt 8:29-32...And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.That was all He needed to say.
Jesus was God! Jesus is God now! Jesus has authority over every affliction and disease. Here's an example of Jesus' authority when He told blind Bartimeaus:
Mark 10:52...and Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Here's another example of Jesus' authority as He told the woman with an issue of blood who touched the hem of His garment:
Matt 9:22...and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Jesus possesses all authority! This is all that was necessary for Jesus who is and was very God.

John 4:46-53...And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

What is the most important lesson you ever learned from God?
Isa 9:6-7...For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment
Did you notice that prophecy foretold that Jesus would be... Mighty God. Also the... Everlasting Father.
Think about Jesus as the Everlasting Father. The one who cares for all of His children. A great lesson can be found in this verse this Fathers Day.
How much did or does your earthly Father love you?
How much does the everlasting Father love you? How much does He care for you? does He supply all of your needs to witness for Him. Find the lesson in this beautiful subject. More coming later!
Happy fathers day from a happy Father!

Christ once suffered (audio)...a rebuttal against the fable like story of Christ's descension to Hell...Brother Hubert Lindsey
This excellent audio brings Scriptural clairification to the false teaching of Christ's descension to Hell. Brother Lindsey tells about the origin of this teaching and opens many scriptures to bring out the truth on this misunderstood subject. Brother Lindsey's sermon is centered on Christ's death, burial, and resurrection...especially on things concerning the humanity of Christ. It gives this writer great joy to advocate and keep alive these timeless messages of Bible truth concerning Christ. Brother Lindsey lived his whole life through trials and sufferings to spread this Gospel across our nation. That's why Rick Roehm today uses this Blog to keep these timeless messages alive. Brother Lindsey recorded these sermons for a reason. To scatter their wealth of knowledge to as many as possible. That's the reason why I do this work with joy and honor. Glory to Christ! Glory to His precious name! Hallelujah!

Was Jesus man or God?
He was both! Jesus was man and He was also God in the flesh. The Bible says so.
1 Tim 3:16...God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Jesus was a human being just like you and me. Two things of great importance. The humanity of Christ and the deity of Christ! His humanity was necessary for Him to taste death like every man...so any man could be redeemed!
Heb 2:9...But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Jesus suffered and died as a man so that any man (like you and me) could find pardon and forgiveness by trusting in Christ's death alone at Calvary for personal forgiveness.
Jesus was God in the flesh! Hallelujah! Demons fled from His Divine authority. The weather could be changed if He said so! He could walk on water. He could heal the sick and cure people of disease. He had power to forgive sins. Everything on Earth is subject to the King of Kings. The animal life is subject to Him. The plant life is subject to Him. (He withered the fig tree.) This preacher is also subject to Him.
The Bible teaches Christ's deity and His humanity. Certain religions do not recognize such truth. Jesus was a man...but He was also God! I'm glad I'm not caught up in religion!
Doubting Thomas made the following statement in Saint Johns Gospel...
John 20:24-28...But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, ..."My Lord and my God".
Spread the word! Tell the world about Jesus. Recognize His power and presence. Allow His power and presence to change your heart and life. The changed heart and life is the center of Christianity! Christianity is fruit of the living Christ produced in our personal hearts and lives! Glory!

One of God's greatest miracles...
When the Churches on Trial radio broadcast aired...at the beginning of each broadcast Hubert would come on with an "opening statement". Today, on this Blog I'd like to use the following writing as an opening statement...about one of God's greatest miracles.
Christ performs miracles every minute, every hour, and every day. One of the greatest miracles that ever occurred was the changed heart and life of a sinner. Perhaps you personally have experienced this miracle! If so Glory to God! The miracle is... God can take the worst criminal or the worst sinner on this planet.... and convert him to a right standing to His divine Holiness by the power of Divine Grace. The miracle of a converted heart and life of a sinner "proves" the power of a resurrected Lord. The forgiveness of sins and the removal of all guilt from the human conscience "proves" the redemptive power of Christ at Calvary.
The morally changed heart and life of a sinner is the best "evidence" any of us have that Christ lives, and changes men (today) from the Throneroom. The morally changed heart of a sinner and power to do right by living an obedient life in the eyes of God is a miracle that comes straight from the Throneroom! Why? A man without Christ is a rebel against God! The evidence of this miracle from the Throneroom "proves" my Saviour lives, and changes any man from any sinful condition.
Hubert Lindsey taught about these miracles from the Throneroom, his whole life in the ministry. So does this writer! There is miracle changing power from a living Christ that we preach about. This miracle can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone... who "touches" the person of Christ. When a sinner touches Christ something happens! When Christ touches man with the changing power of God something happens! These happenings are modern day miracles from the Throneroom! These miracles happen everyday, every minute, every hour. I like what Jesus said during his earthly ministry...when a certain lady touched him...
Luke 8:45-48...And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole;
Jesus was God during His earthly ministry...Jesus is God now from the Throneroom. Get beyond the cross and experience a living miracle! Testify to his changing power from unholiness to holiness! Tell others about how Christ performs this miracle from the Throneroom. Be a witness for an exalted Christ...today...March 10, 2009.
