Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD

Greg Laurie - Tuesday, November 27, 2018

An Encounter with God

  

Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.

—Genesis 32:24

Jacob had wronged Esau. Now he was headed back to meet his brother, and he didn’t know whether or not Esau would kill him. But Jacob was about to have an encounter with God.

I find it very interesting how the Lord came to Jacob as a wrestler. It’s almost as though the Lord was saying, “You want some of this? You’re always fighting Me. You’re always wrestling Me. Game on. Let’s do this.”

The Bible tells us that 

“a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day” (Genesis 32:24 NKJV). 

This wasn’t an angel; this was the Lord Himself. Jacob called the place “Peniel,” which means “face of God.” This is what we would call a Christophany, which is an appearance of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.

We think of Jesus as primarily in the New Testament, but the fact is that Jesus, being a part of the Godhead, being eternal, has always existed. Thus, we find Christ in the Old Testament as well, making appearances in different places. I believe this was one of them. Jacob the manipulator met the Messiah. The conniver met the Christ. The wrestler met his match.

Commentator C. H. Mackintosh said, “To be left alone with God is the only true way of arriving at a just knowledge of ourselves and our ways.… No matter what we may think about ourselves, or what others may think about us; the great question is, what does God think about us?”

Jacob was all alone, and he was having to think about everything he had done. That happens when you get alone with God. 

Sometimes we need to unplug and, as the psalmist said, “Be still, and know that He is God.” That is how we can hear the voice of God again.
