What God Looks Like

 “The Spitting Image”

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Colossians 1:15a

When I was a boy, people could say, “Boy oh boy, you are the spitting image of your Dad!” Now that I am old, once people see my old man pictures, they tell me. ” You look just like Granddaddy or Dad.” I take this as a compliment; however, I can only dream that I come close to this. For my Dad demonstrated the epitome of being a man of character.

However, I can share with you something far better. I can tell you what God looks like: He looks like the one who looks like Him. God looks like the only one who was, and is, God in a human body. God looks like Jesus.

Examples

Here are just a few examples: When you hear or read Jesus teachings, you are hearing or reading about God. When you see Jesus working miracles, it’s a perfect picture of God in action. When you see Jesus defeating Satan, during His trifecta of temptations, you are actually observing God putting Satan in his place. When Jesus faced down the corruption of the religious leaders, He was demonstrating God’s opposition to hypocrisy among those who claim to represent Him. When you observe Jesus fulfilling all of God’s prophetic utterances, you have a ring side seat to God’s love for you. It’s almost as if you can hear God lovingly saying, “I told you so.” Jesus is indeed “The spitting image of God” because He is God! Or as Jesus told Philip, “Anyone who has seen me, you have seen the Father.” John 14:9

What makes this especially good news is that, while Christ shows us what God looks like, He came to make us look like Him! WOW! Check out Romans 8:28-29, and you will see that God works in all things for our good no matter what happens! And “the good” the Bible describes is the good of being formed into Christ’s image. So, while bad things may happen to good people, just as good things happen to good people, God’s good stuff always happens to those who love Him, as He uses all the stuff to form us into Christ image. Praise The Lord!

Is there anyone out there who wants to become a new creation who is like the Lord? I know He wants this for you. So, why not surrender and let God work these miracles in you?

God Bless You

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
