5 Things I “Dig” About Jesus
June 28th, 2007 by Carl Thomas.I have been tagged by my friend Mark to share 5 things I really dig about Jesus. This is actually my first meme so I got a little excited. Then I began to think about Jesus and I got even more excited.
Here is my list. It is definitely not all conclusive:
1. He is not of this realm. Though He did come here, He did not stay here and wants to take us where He is. Gal 1:3-4
2. He is focused on things I cannot even see yet. I was praying about my broken washing machine the other day and Jesus showed me a vision of a church I will preach in one day … in London. (thats about 4500 miles / 7100 km away) Truly my thoughts are not His thoughts.
3. When Jesus says He is coming to an event, He shows up. Every single word of knowledge I have had in conjunction with preaching has been fulfilled. I got two words of knowledge for my meeting last night a week ago. I pronounced them and Jesus came and healed.
4. He is always wanting to meet new people. I cannot tell you how many people I have laid hands on who have had a vision of Jesus. He almost always embraces them. That’s really really cool!
5. He is absolutely on fire for the Father’s business. I don’t have any lost friends. I don’t have any lukewarm friends. All my friends are focused on the Gospel and on fire for God. But Jesus stands out from all of them. He has more revelation to share, more testimonies to give, more prophesies to proclaim, more exhortation to declare, more fire to impart than anyone I have ever met by a long shot. Hanging out with Him is more fulfilling than with anyone else. When my friends get together we preach to each other all night each building upon what the other said. With Jesus, you speak once, then spend the rest of the conversation trying to get your mind around what He says in return.
Ok, I stretched that last one a bit but I only had 5 remember?
So now I am supposed to tag 5 others so here we go:
David – Sure to be something firey.
Michael – Sure to be something well thought out and doctrinally sound with that Vineyard flair.
Chet – Can you say graphics?
Rich - If he completes it, (remember that “imminent” post on Ted Haggard back in November of last year?) it will be in several months and contain thousands of words. Some pro-gay group will surely comment on it and tell how Carlton Pearson is the greatest man since Moses.
slw - Don’t ask. I have no idea what slw stands for.
For some reason trackbacks do not work in this theme so make sure you comment here with a link to your post.
