Faith's Demands - REINHARD BONNKE

We are all immersed in a vast sea of unseen forces. Can you see radio waves? Or, for example the magnetic fields by which the stars keep their ancient places? All around us, even going through our very bodies, are powerful emissions which we can detect only by instruments. Some radiation could destroy us before we ever felt it. Human perceptions are very limited. Even your cat can hear what you can’t. A snake can sight its prey in the pitch darkness. The first words Jesus said to His disciples were ‘Come and see!’ (John 1:39). He came to make us see, and see in the dark. The great theme in John’s Gospel is ‘inner sight’, seeing more than meets the eye. Spiritual reality belongs to a different order. Physical eyes can’t discern the spiritual. John mentions that some witnessed Christ’s miracles and made nothing of them. The visible displays invisible - ‘the heaven’s declare the glory of God’, but not to those without faith. Another thing is that at present the world lies in wickedness and spiritual darkness. The unseen is doubly unseen. Faith in God is like a lamp, which is of no use in daylight. The only chance faith will ever get is now, in a world of darkness, sin and trouble. It can’t operate in heaven where the Lamb is the light. ‘Now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face, (but) now remains faith’ (1 Corinthians 13:12,13). God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE

Spiritual Senses – Which one is your strongest?

When I began to perceive the spiritual realm, I wasn’t really sure how I “knew” the things I knew. Part of me was convinced that when I sensed something that it was really there and part of me tried to rationalize away the feeling and just dismiss it. We have all probably experienced that. I learned from Arthur Burk in his series, Nurturing the Spirit , that our soul tends to rationalize away the impressions we get in our spirit because they don’t necessarily make logical sense. For instance, when I was a child and I sensed that there was something scary lurking at the end of the hall or under my bed, my natural eyes could turn on the light and see that there’s nothing there in the visible realm. “See, you’re just making things up!” my mind would tell me. Or as most children are told by adults, “There’s no boogey-man under the bed or in the closet. See?” They open the closet and look under the bed just to convince you. But as soon as they leave, what do you believe if y...

Jesus in my Eyes - REINHARD BONNKE

Image
Years ago my music-minister and I were shopping for a new keyboard. It was at noon that we entered a big music-shop in Johannesburg/South Africa. There was a salesman, but he took no notice of us and Adam and I tried out all the keyboards. Suddenly the salesman appeared. He seemed to be in a different mood, something like in a state of shock and said to me “Sir, I can see Jesus in your eyes!” What? The Holy Spirit had entered that shop. We forgot all about the keyboard and ha d a revival instead. But when I was walking back to my car I kept saying “Lord, I will never understand. How can a total stranger walk up to me and say ‘Sir, I can see Jesus in your eyes’?”. Suddenly the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said “No problem! Jesus lives in your heart and sometimes HE LIKES TO LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOWS.” I laughed and cried. What glorious truth. I got the point! Years later I met the wife of the salesman who told me, that her husband had followed Jesus for the rest of his life ...

After Reading This, I Swear, I REPENTED!!!

To be frank with you, when I read what my Sister, ( Gloria Stevens ) wrote by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, I REPENTED!!! I promise, this will change your life. JESUS SPEAKING... I want you to be all Mine, filled with the Light of My Presence. I gave everything for you by living as a man, then dying for your sins and living again. Hold back nothing from Me. Bring your most secret thoughts into the Light of My Love. Anything you bring to Me I transform and cleanse from darkness. I know everything about you, far more than you know of yourself. But I restrain My yearning to “fix” you, waiting instead for you to come to Me for help. Imagine the divine restraint this requires, for I have all Power in heaven and on earth. Seek My Face with a teachable spirit. Come into My Presence with thanksgiving, desiring to be transformed. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” —Matthew 28:18 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and...
