I saw God today, part 2 I Kings 19: 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
We see God in 3 ways: 1. Compassion 2. Love 3. Order

I saw God today John 16: 12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

What is truth? Ephesians 5: 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” 15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.I saw God today

it wasn’t comfortable for: Abraham to leave his family Take Issac up the mountain Dip 7 times in a nasty river Isaiah as he ripped his clothes off preaching with passion When the crown of thorns ripped his skull Or when they beat him to a pulp Or when He hung naked on Golgotha He said foxes have holes, birds have nest, but the son of man has no place to lay His head When He prayed and his very own sweat began as drops of blood God did not call us to luxury or sports cars or pedicures and back rubs He said come out from among them and be a separate people Our reward is not here on earth where moth doth corrupt If you are getting your reward here that isn’t seeing God Who cares if your feelings are hurt Who cares if no one likes your post Who cares if your belly hurts Who cares if you’ve gained a little weight People are dying and going to hell while pastors have to change diapers and put Pacifiers in so called seasoned Christians mouth Get over yourself I saw God today!
The Chinese Revolution of 1949 created the People's Republic of China (PRC), a new government headed by the CCP and its chairman Mao Zedong. This revolution is the event that officially brought communism to China. The United States suspended official diplomatic ties with China after the CCP came to power. Communist took over 500,000 Christians in China. Murdered, tortured, homes burnt down, children taken, beaten, quickly maghu came in to kill Christianity. People said, the church will die. Several years in, they did a count. The numbers did change. But went from 500,000 to 50 million!!!!
