Top 10 "You've Never Seen Anything Quite Like This" Miracles JESUS PERFORMED. by ReuEl12(m): 6:35pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
Culled from the journal of James the LORD's brother son of Joseph. . . . "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one can come to the father except through me" - Jesus Christ Any prophet could have said that giving the jaw dropping feat that they accomplished, heck even Moses was thought to be god in the flesh by his enemies. But when he said that I believed him. I knew that what he was saying was authentic because even before he began his mission the signs where there. Why did I believe in my heart that he is the son of God? is it because the things he said are deep and not of human origin, or that he fulfilled everything prophesied about him by the prophet or that three times on different occasions God personally announced it to us saying "this is my son whom I love and in him I am well pleased listen to him" yes it is because of those things and one more : The prophets where awesome but I have never seen anything quite like the miracles my brother- no; that my lord God performed when he walked the earth. . 10. Dead bird. I remember the first time I saw him do anything extraordinary : he was 12 and I was 9 we lived in Egypt then. Our father had fled there seeking asylum after Herod king of Judea ordered the execution of every infant in the country. We were in the woods playing when suddenly a bird dropped from the sky dead in front of us, from the look of the wounds, it had been shot down with a stone by one of the other children... I bent over to look at it and after, I declared "shame, it's dead ". "poor bird. It wasn't its time yet; it shouldn't be dead" he said. "what are you talking about" I retorted. Then he picked the bird and held it on his palms "what are you doing, it is unlawful to touch a dead animal" I exclaimed. But the moment I tried to hit it from his palms I felt something : A refreshing feeling, like everything around me was being made new... The air smelled perfectly clean the colors of the plants and flowers radiated with extra vibrance, dead leaves became fresh and old dried stump brought out shoots around us. There was literally life around us and it felt almost like it had been summoned there and then the most amazing thing happened the dead bird on his palms twitched and then sprang to life, it spread it's wings and flew away I had never seen anything quite like it. I looked at him and one thing was clear : my brother was no ordinary person. . 9. Water to wine. Then.... there was the wedding at Cana. We had returned from Egypt for years now but instead of going back to our hometown Bethlehem, we moved to Galilee in Nazareth. Mary our mother had been invited to a wedding by a friend. We went with her. it was the wedding of a popular family so the whole town was in attendance. Singing, dancing and merriment was the order of the day and me and my brother helped ourselves to the choicest wines as we reclined and watched everyone dance and celebrate. "Dude, you gotta talk to Madeline, she has not taken her eyes away from you since we came in, bro do you even know what this means : the hottest girl in town is interested in you" I said. "James you know I have a very important task ahead of me, I have to keep my focus and in other to overcome I must free myself from worldly desires and open myself to things of the spirit". " what's ahead of me is big, I'm going to need you too". Then I replied "bro when you need me to save the world I am gonna be there but until then ...fun time with Salome". As we were talking our mother came rushing In "Jesus help, I know you can help" "the wine for the wedding have been exhausted and the most important guests have only just begun to arrive". "Without wine this wedding will soon turn from merriment to chaos" I added "but mom what's he gonna do about it" . Jesus told our mother "you know it's not my time yet" then our mother told the servants "do what he tells you to do". Finally he said to the servants "go fill those jars with water" "wait" I said "what are you gonna do, make wine?" "With just water 'cos I don't see grapes, vines or even a thresher " when they finished filling the jars Jesus replied " can't make wine with just water... Instead I am going to turn the water into wine " then he said to one of the servants scoop some and sip". when the servant did it, the moment he touched his lips with the contents of the cup his eyes widened in excitement. Then Jesus told them to serve the guest and when the chairman of the occasion had a taste he turned to the groom and said "at other parties the good stuff are served at the beginning but you, you save the best for last! When I tasted the wine I thought to myself a few minutes ago this was water , brother just what exactly are you. . 8 Paralyzed man To answer my question a notable event occurred : After his baptism (still haven't gotten over the fact that i heard God's voice from heaven announcing him as his son) Jesus went to the sea side to call his first disciples I went with him. My brother was going to accomplish great things and it's my duty to stay by his side and support him as best as I can. Getting there he met peter and asked him to go for a catch with him but Peter replied " sir we have been here all morning and have caught nothing. there literally is no fish in this water and there's no way am going back out there it's too hot and I'm in need of a drink" then Jesus said "peter.... come". After a few minutes of contemplation he decided to go with him though I heard him mutter something about slamming Jesus with a boat paddle and tossing him into the sea if he happened to be wasting his time. Watching from the shore I saw peter spread his net after a few cliques out to sea... I looked away for a moment and when I looked back I was alarmed because I saw that the boat was sinking slowly. Immediately i ran to the nearest fishermen the zebedee brothers James and John. "quick" i said "help me get to that boat, something is wrong!" "Get in, let's go" john offered. When we reached Peter's boat we saw the most amazing thing we have ever seen : fishes! The boat was filled to capacity with them, up to an extent that it's weight was beginning to sink the boat and more of them were coming up! It took a great deal to balance the haul in both boats and then sailed back to shore. Jesus came out of the boat laughing followed closely by Peter, Andrew and the zebedee brothers all laughing. looking at them he said "Come with me, and I will make you fishers of men and at once they left their boats and followed him. From there Jesus went to the synagogue to preach and as he was teaching four men opened the roof of the building and through it lowered a paralyzed man in front of Jesus cos they couldn't get past the crowd. Moved by their faith Jesus drew close to the man and said "son, your sins are forgiven" on hearing that the teachers of the law present, raged "did you hear that?!" "This fellow is blaspheming, who can forgive sins but God himself". I will admit even I was a bit uncomfortable with what he said but his reply and action cleared my doubts. Knowing in his spirit what they were thinking in their hearts he said to them "why are you thinking these things? Which is easier: to say to this paralysed man, 'your sins are forgiven' or to say Get up, take your mat and walk'? But because I want you to know that the son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" he said to the man "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home". He got up in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God saying, "we have never seen anything like this!" . 2 Likes |

7. woman with bleeding After that little showdown word of Jesus Christ spread through out the country people from every corner of the region came to see him, he healed the sick, freed the demon possessed and cure the the diseased. They came to him by the thousands and he cured them all! There was this one time when the people tried to make him king but he refused saying that "this is not the way ". "Brother what are you doing, who better to lead us to freedom from the Romans if not you, you always said that you will be king, what if this is it?" I questioned "you don't understand James, my kingdom is not of this world. And the Romans should be the least of your problems. The whole world is under the influence of satan and therefore stands condemned and are doomed for destruction and death. my mission is to take the keys of death from hades, redeem all peoples and bring them back to God who offers eternal life in place of death and generally bring salvation to everyone". "Including the Romans?" Asked Philip "including them" said Jesus "can't be all of them, half the evil they commit gives wickedness a whole new meaning, surely Caesar is not worthy of salvation" protested Philip. "Anyone is entitled to God's salvation" said Jesus "really, pontius Pilate too? " continued Philip "Anyone Philip !" As we were making a list of people who can't and can be saved(Philip and I, the rest were doing more relevant task) A synagogue leader came and knelt before Jesus and said, "my daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her and she will live." Jesus got up and went with him, and we all followed. Just then I saw a woman whom I knew had been subject to bleeding for 12 years( in my youthful days I used to go see her neighbor's daughter Salome ) came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak. As she did that a force field emanated from Jesus and spread all over the the crowd. Immediately Jesus stopped and said "who touched me" and peter replied "Lord you see the crowd and how they all press against you and you still can ask a question like this?" "Somebody touched me and when they did I felt power come out of me and into someone " when the woman could not hold it in any longer she knelt down in front of Jesus saying " Lord I your daughter has had an issue of bleeding for 12 years I have spent a fortune trying to get help for myself but it all proved futile, when I heard you were passing by I rushed out to you thinking if only I could touch his cloak I will be healed. When Jesus turned and saw her he said "take heart daughter, your faith has healed you". And the woman was healed at that moment. I just stood there thinking to myself wow my brother you amaze me everyday so now they don't have to come and ask, all they have to do is touch you and they get what they want cool! soon they probably wouldn't have to touch you, All they have to do is Just think about you and ask in their hearts. When Jesus got to the synagogue leader's house and saw the noisy crowd playing pipes, he said, "go away. The girl is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him. After the crowd had been sent outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. News of this spread through out all that region. . 6. calming of the storm Jesus' popularity then was so much that he couldn't enter a town openly or move about freely anymore, so he decided to sail to a solitary place were he could meditate. while he was sleeping below deck we, disciples recounted tales of our missionary journeys he had sent us on weeks earlier after he anointed us. Bartholomew said "i casted out twin evil spirits in Tyre it was awesome" Simon said "I cured a man born blind". "I want to make a record of this, you know write down the biography of our Lord" said Matthew. "Good idea" commended John."the wind is getting stronger" I noted to the rest, "it's nothing it will pass" assured peter. "Guys did you see how The Lord saved Madeline from being stoned to death" said Andrew. "Man that was awesome". " let he who is without sin cast the first stone" mimicked John " I wondered how he knew to use that one singular sentence to solve the problem?" "he is God how could he not know". "I heard a husband use the line on his wife once when she caught him cheating ...the wife stoned him." said Philip and they all laughed. Then all of a sudden a hard wave hit the boat BOOOM and it rocked it hard to the side. We rushed up to see what was happening and what I saw made my heart jump out of my mouth (okay it almost did ) . "No cause for alarm "said peter "it's a little whirlwind the ship can take it." "No" said Thomas "it's a tornado on water! " he exclaimed. But peter quickly rebuffed him "Tom it's not a tornado, sea tornados come with lightning and hailstorm", "see, no lightning just light rain." CRAAAAAAACKKK!!! A flash of lightening pierced the sky "you had to open your mouth" said Matthew and then everything happened all at once : Lightning struck the first rigging of the boat that rendered steering useless, windy after shocks caused by the clashing of two opposing waves was sent pivoting our way, the force coming from the tornado, because of the direction in which it was rotating was pulling our ship toward it and the massive wave upon massive wave that struck the sides of the Boat was not helping. when our both was within a dangerously close proximity with the tornado, We were able to see straight into the center of the storm and what we saw made Philip scream: " WE ARE GONNA DIEEEE!" "No we are not" peter barked. " john the life lines, Andrew, Simon secure the main sails, zebedee brothers empty the ship, Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew port to starboard," .............. WE ARE GANNA DIEEEE!.............. "James, get The Lord " ..............WE ARE GANNA DIEEEE!........ "You two put out the fires " "Oh and Philip" WE ARE GANNA DI- Yes "SHUT UP!" When The Lord came up peter spoke " lord, save us! We are gonna drown!" He replied "you of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and waves "Be Calm". it was almost a whisper but the words reverberated through the wind, the waves, the storm itself and in an instant everything was completely calm. Almost as if nothing ever happened. We were all amazed and asked ... "What kind of man is this ? Even the winds and the waves obey him!" . 1 Like |

5. 5000 people Some time after this Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee ( that is the sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs that he had performed by healing those who were ill. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover festival was near. When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming towards him, he said to Philip, "where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" He asked. Philip answered him " Baba kosowo o (no money) and it would take more than a years wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite! Another disciple, Andrew Simon peter's brother, spoke up, 'here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?" Then Jesus said, "make the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down( about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat he said to his disciples, "gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. After the people saw the sign that Jesus performed, they began to say. "Surely this is the prophet who is to come into the world ." Jesus knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself 4. Walking on water When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for capernaum. By now it was dark and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. "Oh, common not again! " said Mathew "and this time The Lord is not here " said John, " wait let me try" offered Philip "I am Philip I rebuke you before you get worse be calm" DUNK! The mini wave struck the starboard of the boat, it's force sent Philip flying till he hit his head on the mast and was knocked out . When they had rowed out about three or four miles they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water and they were frightened. "No way" said Andrew, "is that... him" asked john "impossible " declared Thomas "you still use that word around him" retorted James . But Jesus said to them " it is I; don't be afraid" then peter replied "lord if it is you let me come to you on the water" . "Come " said Jesus and to every ones amazement even peter's himself, he was also walking on the water. Philip could not close his mouth eventually he fainted, thought he was seeing ghosts. After Peter had walked a few steps on the water he looked down and I could see the fear in his eyes. He screamed "lord help me! " and fell in. " you of little faith" chided Jesus as he reached out his hand to grab him, then they both climbed aboard and immediately the boat reached the shore that they were headed. (Note I said Immediately) Nothing could describe our experience that night Jesus is God. To us it's an irrefutable fact. . |

3. Lazarus About eight days after, Jesus took Peter, John and I, James with him up to the mountain to pray. As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor talking with Jesus . They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. My companions and I were very sleepy but when we became fully awake, we saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "master, it is Good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters one for you, one Moses and one for Elijah ( he did not know what he was saying.) While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered us, and we were afraid. As we entered the cloud. A voice came from the cloud saying "this is my son, whom I have chosen ; listen to him." When the voice had spoken we found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen. Getting back to the others Thomas came to him with a letter that read that his friend Lazarus is ill handing it to him he said "this came in two days ago" when Jesus saw it he said " this illness will not end in death. No it is for God's glory so that God's son may be glorified through it" staying two more days after the news he told his disciples "let us go back"." Go back? " they asked "but lord, a while ago the jews there tried to stone you, and yet you want to go back?" "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up". Then Philip replied if he sleeps, he will get better". Clarifying to Philip I said "dude he means he is dead, he wasn't talking about a natural sleep". Then Jesus said plainly "Lazarus is dead and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him" Thomas said "let us go too that we may die with him cos they are surely going to kill him." on arrival it was discovered that Lazarus has been dead and buried in the tomb for four days. when Lazarus sister Martha heard that Jesus has come she rushed out to meet him on the way but her sister Madeline stayed at home. "Lord" she began "if you had been here my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask" Jesus said to her "your brother will rise again". "He is going to raise someone that's been dead for four days? What if he can't the doit what if the flesh has decayed which is very likely would they still want Lazarus back" asked Philip "it's why we are here, to die with him if it comes to it" said Thomas. Answering Jesus, Martha said "I know he will rise again on the last day." Jesus said to her "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even though they die; and the one who lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this." "Yes, Lord" she replied " I believe that you are the messiah, the son of God, who is to come into this world". When Madeline met Jesus she knelt down and wept saying "Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died". "Where have you laid him he ask. "come and see" she replied. Jesus wept(....what am I suppose to describe how he wept? ...... How do you weep when you loose a dear one, that's how he wept) When Jesus got to the tomb with a stone laid across the entrance, he asked that the stone be taken away. "But Lord," said Martha "by this Time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days." Then Jesus said "did I not tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "father I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." When he said this Jesus called in a loud voice, " LAZARUS, COME OUT!" Then there was silence, the tension in the air was almost tangible could he really do this they thought, it's been four days, the skin is decayed. A shuffling of feet was heard and the dead man came out his hands and feet wrapped in linen and a cloth around his face, some fainted merely imagining what he would look like behind the burial cloth most of them and including me knew he could raise the dead, he had done it a lot of times but could he restore the dead skin or would Lazarus be alive in a dead body, that was our area of doubt and seeing Lazarus coming out of the cave wrapped in burial clothes from head to foot only worsened the tension caused by our curiosity. Is he whole made anew or is he half restored : that was the question on everyone's lips. "Take of the grave clothes and let him go " said Jesus and as soon as that was done, to everyone amazement (yet again) Lazarus was as whole and as complete as any man can be! When I saw this, in reverence I bowed and and the crowd did the same every one worshiped and praised him, even the Jews that swore to kill him believed in him that day. it was indescribable no one has ever seen anything quite like this! . |

. 2. Boy with a demon Weeks after Lazarus, we were at a synagogue gathering and The Lord was inside teaching the people. And outside the disciples were having a heated argument about who is the greatest among them, when a man brought his demon possessed son for deliverance. He said "help me, my boy has been possessed by demons, many times the spirit have tried to kill him, it throws him into a fit and then makes him hurt himself." Then john replied " you came to the right place sir, we the messiah's disciples can handle it, your son will be free momentarily". Then he looked at the boy and said. "You evil spirit tormenting the boy I order you to come out!" The boy whose eyes had been closed since his father had been talking, suddenly opened them, looked at John and said to him "fly!" John was lifted up into the air, and then thrown backwards and slamming against a wall, and I heard the demon say "too proud never, stood a chance " then Matthew came and stretch out one hand saying "not so fast you infernal entity, you must leave this boy's body" and then the demon boy replied "tax collector! have you forgiven yourself for cheating your own people, during your tax collecting days?" Matthew could not answer "then how can you come and stand before me". He grabbed Matthew by the wrist raised him up with one hand and then smashed through a window. One second he was by a window far off; another second he was standing in front of Andrew "yes" he said "I wanted this to happen you now lack confidence in yourself after what you have seen me do with the other two, then he picked Andrew up and started to rain punches on him Till blood began to spew from his mouth. "let him go !" Thomas intervened. " ah, doubting Thomas, a man of facts and rationalism, never always believe until he sees " he talked as if six people were talking all at once inside of him. " let me show you what is more than your science" then he pointed at Thomas and Thomas rose off the ground growling in pain, and when the demon boy jerked his hand to the left, Thomas flew to the left with such force that he would slam the wall on the left, when he jerked it to the right, Thomas flew to the right and slam the wall there with great force. Finally the demon boy traced his hand to the ground and Thomas came crashing down, he held two other disciples by the neck then tossed both of them away one to the left and another to the right and lastly : "Enough!" Peter ordered. "you will no longer wipe the floor with us" Philip added. "Philip I was gonna say he will no longer give us difficulty, when you say wipe the floor you shame us. " said peter then facing the demon he said "this ends now". "Peter, my favorite... Quite the authority and confidence but deep down...." CRAAAACK! lightning came from the sky and the demon boy held it in hands ".... You and I know that you lack the necessary the faith!" And he threw the lightning he held at peter."Peter noooooooo!" I screamed. I thought peter was a goner... then The Lord arrived, caught the lightning on his hand and dispersed it upward. The father of the boy had gone to get him from inside. when Jesus saw all the commotion he asked " what happened here?" The father of the demon boy replied "teacher I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him if speech "robbed of speech" I ask "this guy can talk with the voice of six people". "That is not my son's voice, Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they couldn't ". I noticed that the demon possessed boy have not moved a muscle since Jesus came out, it just stood there quietly watching him intently. "You unbelieving generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me." So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit came close to Jesus it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion, he fell to the ground rolled around foaming at the mouth. "How long has he been like this?" Jesus asked. "From childhood," the man answered. It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." " 'If you can'?" Said Jesus. "Everything is possible for the one who believes." Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe" looking at the beaten and battered disciples he said, "help my unbelief!" Then Jesus looked at the boy with authority radiating his body he ordered the impure spirit "you deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again." The spirit shrieked "nooo, noooo graaaaaaaaaR! ", convulsed the boy violently, suspended him in mid-air and came out of him in the form of a black smoke. and the boy fell to the ground. The boy looked so much like a corpse that they said, "he's dead". But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. When they were indoors the disciples asked "Lord, why couldn't we drive it out?" He replied "this kind can come out only by prayer". He continued " and complete unison with the spirit of God, if you miss any one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, you miss all". . 1 Like |

1. Resurrection and ascension A lot happened after our triumphant entry into Jerusalem things quickly got bad judas the weasel had betrayed our Lord for a mere thirty pieces of silver, Jesus had been tried and sentenced to death by crucifixion " told you ...didn't i ?" Said Philip "Pilate and Herod ....don't deserve saving". we were lost and confused. On the cross the greatest thing happened: immediately he said 'it is finished' and died, thick darkness covered the whole land it was like night but it was day then a great earthquake, one that's unlike any we have ever experienced before shook the world tombs split open and to my utter amazement people who have been dead a longtime, resurrected and were united with their loved ones, it was so wow even in death he distributed life! Which would mean that his promise of eternal life for those who believe in him is authentic, because everywhere he was, he gave life which he seemed to have in abundance. After that he was buried by a devout. On the third day we were gathered at a room discussing what to do next(well we wanted to discuss our next move but all we could talk about was Jesus). "Have you forgotten all that he thought us!" Peter said "he said he would rise again on the third day, we should have faith and wait ", "come on Pete, you think about it" said Andrew "granted he can raise people from the dead but to resurrect things shouldn't the giver of said life have to be alive to restore life? So how can he dead, then rise to life to resurrect himself again? It's confusing, besides it's the third day and nothing has happened"."perhaps he was speaking in parables when he said three days" added James ( john's brother). " and besides" said Bartholomew "no one in the history of the prophets have ever done such, to come back from the grave". Philip replied "no one in the history of the prophets have ever done anything Jesus did". Smiling peter said "Philip this is officially the first thing you said that ever made sense, I don't know about you guys but I have never seen anything quite like the miracles The Lord performed. They were extraordinary, so if he says that he will come back, I believe him!" John scoffed then said "And this is coming from the guy that denied him when The Lord needed him the most ". "Damn you John" peter shot back " at least I didn't run away naked when they tried to arrest me! I did something in gathsemene ". "Yea sure, cutting of the high priest servants ear really helped matters". "Don't test me john" warned peter. "Three times peter, three times you denied The Lord ! I saw it" Fired John. "And where were you when we were in the Herod's house, you had influence there, you could have intervened!" Peter shot back. SHUT UP, PETER! SHUT IT, JOHN! "Alright calm down the both of you!" I butted in. "We all fell away when he needed us the most and that's all on us but-". "Be quiet James, you were his brother and you let him just die" interrupted James 2, "what did you say" I asked. And just like that it was pandemonium we did not understand, we did not know our hearts were hardened. Suddenly Mary Madeline burst open and announced "Brothers The Lord have RISEN!" Thomas replied "shut up Madeline, go back outside, shut the door and leave". But just then With great timing a familiar voice said "PEACE be with you" suddenly joy and peace filled my heart and from the look on everyone's face it was the same them. We all turned to look at who said that and to our utter amazement Jesus was standing among us! "Lord you are alive"! "How-ho-h-how are you alive?" asked Philip *thud* and then he fainted again. Again Jesus said "peace be with you! As the father sent me so I send you.' And with that he breathed on us and said,"receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone their sins, they will be forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." "What trickery is this, who put you up to this? Mary? Pilate? To mock him? " Jesus replied "Thomas it is I Jesus " . But he said "until I put my hands on the wounds in your palms and on your side, I will not believe." Then Jesus said to Thomas, "put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it on my side. Ghost or illusions do not have flesh and blood, Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and My God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen yet have believed." He opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures. He told them, "this is what is written: the Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." Then he led us out to the valley of Bethany, he lifted his hands and blessed us. As he was blessing us he began to levitate then ascend upwards. John said "Oh -my -god " looking at Jesus, Philip exclaimed "Oh my You, I can't believe it !". "You are flying " I obviously stated. "the LORD's got more swagg than Elijah" shouted Philip. 'twas unbelievable but amazing, he ascended higher and higher and we just kept watching and then finally he said though he wasn't shouting we could hear him clearly "all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of age." And with that the clouds covered him and he was taken up to heaven. . Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in the gospels as you know them. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the messiah, the son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. Happy Sunday 1 Like |

ReuEl12:I wish you same and much more in JESUS YAHSHA HaMashiach's Holy Name. You can see that most people have been deceived to prefer darkness to Light. They avoid this awesome thread that focuses on reconnecting the to the great CREATOR, but crowded your other demon themed thread and still begging you to come and continue the story that inspires them submit to Satan for euphemeral glory that they will die and leave. I thank YAHWEH ALMIGHTY for giving you the wisdom not to be seduced into your eternal destruction by their evil push and satanically inspired hailing. Most of them don't realized it though, they've pushed many Chosen that got carried away by the fake vain glory against our great CREATOR. 1 Like |
