Remember Who Jesus Is

Hi guys. I just want to encourage you if honestly, anyone, but if you’re especially struggling to feel the love of God right now, I want to remind you who Jesus is and what He did for us. Emmanuel. Jesus is Emmanuel. We all know that. We’ve heard that we sing about it. We talk about it at Christmas. Emmanuel means ‘God with us.’ You could also say it as ‘God like us.’

So, it’s not just Him being with us, but when Jesus came and He chose to come this way, He came and He took on a human form. He lived our life, the suffering that we do, He knows our emotions. He knows our physical. He knows everything. So, He made it personal. He could’ve come and saved us any way He wanted to. He didn’t look down and be like, “Oh, we better help them.” His heart was pulled toward us and He came down as Emmanuel to be with us and to be like us.

So I just want to pray over you guys that you would feel the love of Emmanuel. You would have the revelation of who He is and what He did for you, that He thought of you, and He had this plan from the very beginning. He knew, he knew when what happened in the garden. He knew, and He had this plan that He was coming and He was gonna do it in an up-close and personal way. Thank you, Jesus. That you love us and that you came and you’re personal for us.

God Speaks Through Bird Feathers

A few years ago, I experienced a season of love from God unlike ever before. Though His love for us is never changing, I believe He used this time to truly transform my heart through multiple encounters with His goodness.

One night at church a woman approached me to share an encouraging word. In it, she mentioned she saw me free as a bird, covered with beautiful feathers. Shortly after, another girl approached me and very hesitantly shared that when she saw me, she immediately thought of the feathers of a peacock. She went on to pray for me and encourage me as a friend. I couldn’t stop laughing at the humor of God! Two people in one evening telling me the same word? He must be speaking! The scriptures that both women prayed over me that day had powerfully grabbed my attention and led me to have an ongoing conversation with the Lord about the season of life he was leading me into.

Winks from God

More than a year later, I was constantly seeing peacocks everywhere I went. It became a game of sorts. I’d see them stopped at red light, on the car in front of me in a bumper sticker. I was gifted a necklace and the charm hung a peacock feather. One day I came home to my apartment and there was a box delivered with a peacock stuffed animal inside it. It seemed the Father was constantly winking at me, reminding me that He saw and loved me.

God speaks through anything that gets our attention

God will use anything to capture our attention and transform our hearts. One day, a neighbor knocked on my door. The wrong package had been delivered to him, and he was bringing it over to me. In his arms were several handfuls of peacock feathers. It was so odd–why was this man carrying these around? He explained he and his sons had just returned from a farm where they got to take some feathers home. He looked at the array of feathers in his arm, handing me the best looking one. “Here, this is for you”.

In this time, God taught me how much he cares for our hearts and the things we care about. God speaks through our desires, showing us just how good he is. I pray that as you read this, the desires of your heart are uncovered and met by God. He cares for you.

A Pastor Disguises Himself As A Homeless Man Outside Church And What Happened Made Him Cry

by GOD TV October 18, 2018

written by GOD TV

Pastor James Macdonald is the founder and senior pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel in the Chicago metropolitan area. He just tried out a heart-rending experiment with his church members by dressing up as a homeless man and sitting outside the church’s campuses to see the congregation’s reactions.

Pastor James uploaded a video on his Facebook page and in the caption, he said that what he witnessed blew him away.

In the first scene of the video, you will notice that people are just ignoring him.

However, the number of people who helped him was overwhelming. Some church members gave him food and money, and others offered prayers for him and even invited him to come inside and join the church service with them. What they did perfectly represented the love of Jesus for humankind.

Then the homeless man revealed his identity…

As homeless Pastor James walked inside the church with his shopping cart and stepped up on the stage, he began to preach as he slowly disclosed his identity, removing his costume piece by piece. He explained to the congregation that a couple of weeks before, he had camped outside the church campuses to see how they were doing in situations where it may be hard to show love to love others.

In his sermon, he stated that our Father in Heaven gives the same grace to the person that’s hardest for us to love as He does to us. He doesn’t play favorites. He loves everyone. As children of God, we are all called to love just like our Heavenly Father does. We are called to love, not only our loved ones, but also those people who need the love of Christ.

“Awesome! I was crying inside that beard. I cannot believe the people in this Church”, he said. Watch and be blessed:
