The only true avatar man has ever known is Jesus Christ. Jesus is one hundred percent God and one hundred percent man, the only God-man. After the fall of man, man was inevitably stuck in sin and enslaved to sin. We are not able to save ourselves from sin and death; only God can save us. If God had not chosen to avatar, that is “cross over" or "descend”, mankind would have been forever doomed. The story of the birth, life, and sacrifice of Jesus is the only true story of the avatar.

Giving was very important in the churches I grew up in, and tithing was without a doubt, paramount. The pastor made sure we understood the difference between tithes and offerings and how the tithe was “a mandatory tax” and the offering was above and beyond the tithe. It was explicitly clear that the tithe was not an offering. I never totally agreed with the tithe teaching, but it was part of the fundamentals of Christianity, and I had to accept it.

God created man in his image and after his likeness as a tripartite being who consists of spirit, soul, and body. We are a spirit, who has a soul, and lives in a body. This truth is hidden in biblical types. By using the language of symbolism, the spirit, soul, and body are revealed. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. The pictures that scripture provides help us to unlock the revelation of God’s word. A rich understanding of the makeup of God’s highest creation called man, who is a triune being, is brought into greater light with redemption’s story at its heart.

Before the worlds were formed, God predestined that the giant Goliath die by a stone. Through ways only he could prearrange, God secured who would rule over his people at the time of Goliath’s defiance. Catalyzing his plan meant effecting the prejudice to elect a king from the tribe of Benjamin - a tribe anointed with the throwing of stones. That meant they had the ability to exact pieces of rock and strike targets without miss.

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. Every biblical story points to a revelation of Jesus and His Church. Noah and the building of the Ark is no exception. During history’s greatest season of judgment, Noah found grace in the eyes of God. Noah was the first person in Scripture to preach the message of grace and his life story is a fresh reminder for us today that “where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” Romans 5:20

Usually, what we see in others who infuriate us and cause us to become angry, judgmental, and even violent, is just a reflection of what is actually on the inside of us. Instead of pointing the finger, or slandering others, we need to take a “checkup from the neck up” and make sure we are not like the hummingbird: quick to defend unauthorized territory and perpetuating repeated mistakes, accidents, and head-on collisions. What this story reveals to us is that the real enemy is exactly that: In-a-me.

Jesus used an ancient form of teaching called parables to relay the message of the Kingdom of Heaven. Within his parables are the truths and keys of the kingdom needed to properly understand exactly what the Kingdom of Heaven is and how it works. This audiobook will endeavor to bring insight and understanding concerning Jesus’ parables about the Kingdom of Heaven and bring the listener to precise conclusions revealed from Jesus’ own words. In the end, you will comprehend how the wingdom probably is not what you’ve previously been taught to believe.

As the stories of the Bible are read in awe, God’s hand of mercy often goes unnoticed within the context of the phenomenal. One of those instances can be found when observing the life of Cain. He was the firstborn son, the first procreated human being of the first man and woman of time, Adam and Eve. Remarkable as that is, he is most infamously known for being the first murderer on Earth. Cain’s jealousy led to rebellion which led to a violent act that ended the life of his brother, Abel.

“The Mother of All Living” is a title to behold. It stirs up a sense of honor, endearment, beauty, and grace- every lovely virtue that founds this Earth as a home. Is the same sense of admiration inspired when we mention the name, Eve? Characteristically, that name is recalled with an unfortunate perception of disappointment, foolishness and falter to temptation. The first woman ever graced by God to walk, rule, and bear souls into this world should be considered with care if we are to understand modern woman’s purpose and plan under God’s precepts.

One night, the Lord impressed upon my heart that many of the “gays” in the community were coming to my church because they knew I would give them the truth. I believe the Lord was directing me to stop beating them up and love them. I obeyed God and set aside my seemingly homophobic attitude. I began treating them as I would anyone under God’s care. Anyone who says they do not have stereotypical ways and mindsets are fooling themselves. It takes God many years to truly cleanse us from the hatred, racism, and ignorance we learned as we grew up.

Angelus Domini. Angel of the Lord. A messenger of God is a being who delivers a word of prominence unto select souls directly from Heaven’s throne. Reports that are momentous in the highest rapport always regard the coming Messiah. Tidings of such immeasurable revelation were entrusted to one angel of apparent uniqueness. Among the only two angels identified by name in the Hebrew Bible, Gabriel himself is the herald most revealed in both Old and New Testaments.

John the Baptist is one of the most peculiar people in Scripture. The Bible says that he wore camel’s hair and his diet consisted of locusts and wild honey. Before his arrival, Israel had not experienced any genuine words, dreams, or visitations of God for almost 400 years. John’s purpose was to be Christ’s forerunner, and as such, he definitely did not look the part. As the American church falls into greater moral and spiritual decay, history has a pattern of repeating itself as God is raising up another peculiar generation.

Before intimacy takes place in marriage, an atmosphere is usually created to help entice our spouse. Waiting until it’s nighttime and quiet, lighting candles, playing slow love songs, and surprising our spouse with hidden gifts all can be used to woo our lover and set the tone for great intimacy. The third room in the Tabernacle was called Holiest of All and was a type of bedchamber. Only one person who is the high priest was allowed to enter behind the veil of this sacred room where there was no physical light, only the glory of God lit the room.

Deliverance is in the details. Intricate, specific, instructive, explicit words not commonly evoked when we reminisce the greatest gift of mercy given. Calvary’s requirements were not our cup to bear. We need simply just to receive its grace. The memorial of the work done on the Cross, in fact, preceded it prophetically at Passover. A day that was later instituted for the Jews to give reverence for their freedom from Egyptian bondage also pointed to the ultimate day of hallmark, for all peoples to be released from the wages of sin.
