GOD APPEARED IN A FIRE. (EX 3:2-4)
“The Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush…Moses said,
‘I will now turn aside and see this great sight’…God called to him from the midst of the bush…”
GOD SHOWED UP IN A TWISTING WIND. (JB 40:6)
“Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind.”
GOD APPEARED IN GLORY.
“[Jesus’] face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as light.” (MT 17:2.2)
"The sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on top of the mountain in
the eyes of the children of Israel." (EX 24:17)
HE CAME IN THE FORM OF AN ANIMAL. (LU 3:22.1)
“And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him…”
IN THE FORM OF A MAN. (JN 1:1.3; JN 1:14)
“…the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
FOR US THIS WAS BEST OF ALL—GOD COMING TO EARTH AS A MAN. ONE BORN TO SUFFER. (JN 19:1-5)
“…Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns, and put it upon His
head, and they put on Him a purple robe. Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the
purple robe, and Pilate said to them, ‘Behold the Man!’”
Because by enduring torture, and dying by cruel crucifixion—then rising from death after three days,
JESUS DESTROYED ANY CONTROL SATAN HAS OVER YOU! (1 JN 3:8.2; JA 4:7)
“For this reason was the Son of God manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”
“Submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Jesus earned us the power to resist Satan (that is to “actively fight against him”, as Andrew Wommack clarifies)— IF WE COOPERATE! By acknowledging that Jesus is Lord of your life and being baptized in the Holy Spirit, you’ll receive God’s power to rebuke him “In Jesus’ Name”, forcing the devil to cease and desist in his evil work within you.
You can leave behind: Confusion,
Fear,
Weakness,
Sickness,
Bondage….
even Death! (JN 6:47)
