Has anyone seen God/Jesus?

For the sake of expediency I am re-posting this answer which was formulated to the question of "Black Jesus?" a few days ago. It was voted best answer, so it may have relevance.\n\n\nI have a close friend who is charismatic, messianic and fanatic who claims to have seen Jesus as a elderly, black man in Key West a few years ago. Of course, he also claims on another occasion to have seen the Father as well, which isn't possible. Can any one say "Angel of light"?\nI think that Jesus( apart from His manifested glory) will be very similar in appearance as He was while on this earth because His disciples recognized Him after the Resurrection-well at least after He opened their unbelieving eyes. He won't appear as a blue eyed, light completion, gentile as our artist have depicted Him or as a black man, or Oriental, or WASP. My hunch is He will probably be darker skinned than we picture Him in our minds. A final thought: be careful of those images which you form with your imagination, they are only one very small step away from idolatry. We are to pray to our Father in Heaven, not to the image of Christ we hold in our minds.

Yes he is here. Jesus is everywhere on earth. The only thing is that he is no longer in flesh as he was before his death but spiritually.

I've seen Christians. They are real. They say that if you look at a mirror, turn all the lights off, and say Jesus 3 times that Billy Graham will appear....spooky.

Once Lonely; depressed doing my Community service in a Salvation Army hall, I spotted a Beautiful Portrait of Jesus, just His Profile. I stared at it for what seemed a long time and asked myself if Jesus was here with me and If He was than I could let go of these feelings of depression.\nI heard a voice: A soft voice say:\n" My Child, I Know Your Needs and I Will Care For You."\nFrom that day on, I never prayed for Riches,Love,or even Help to turn my Life around.Rather I prayed for Wisdom and Strength because my faith became so strong I knew God would carry me when I thought I could not go on..\nand He has " Always." \nSo try it -You Pray too, he knows what's Best for you even if it's Not what you want and I will pray for you too.\nGod is a Loving God..\nGoodluck and God Bless.

Thank you for sharing this event. I was touched by your experience.\n\nI have come across the life-stories of many Muslims in particular who saw visions of Jesus Christ, and ultimately committed their lives to Christ.\n\nMany people from other religions as well are coming to Christ (some through such visions).\n\nE.g., see \nhttp://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/00.html\n\nCordially,\nJohn

Finally !! I've been blessed with this gift to occasionally see the spiritual world. Yes, I've seen both angels and demons. First thing first, I am a Christian, praised be the Lord.\nHere we go. First time I've seen angels was when a car almost hit me (it stopped maybe 1 inch away) on the crosswalk. It was really really scarry, but when I got home, in my prayer time, God brought to my mind the same scene, and I saw all around and above me angels with bows ready to jump on/stop/hit/destroy the car that was about to hit me. Ever since there have been oher experiences, but it would take a lot of space. \nDemons. I went to a Christian youth camp with my church, and the place was the same one that a martial arts campers used to go to. So at night me and 5 other people could see demons all around us. On the tents, houses, in the grass, really scarry. It's not that you really see them, that would probably be way too much for human that God would allow. But I see their silhouettes, and I picture them in my imagination. \nThese things aren't something to be focusing on, and God only gives me this ability whenever I'm in the midst of His presence or when something really intense is going on in the spiritual world. Lots of things to consider. \nSchneb is right. These things aren't exactly something you would want to have or discuss about. Better focus on more useful things

God is very much active in our world, but I believe that it is bordering on futile to look for signs. Ultimately, God's One Sign was entering the world as a man and a preacher (i.e. Jesus Christ), and dying on our behalf. That sign is worth investigating, because the evidence for Jesus' existence death and resurrection is actually extremely strong. It is a sign that is not easily dismissed.\n\nIf you want to hear God speak, you need to become a reader and by His Spirit come to hear him in scripture.

I have. It's great to see other Christians out there. Keep up the faith.

A few months ago a friend and I were talking about Benny Hinn, questioning his ministry.  I had never actually seen Benny Hinn before; I had only heard about what goes on at his crusade meetings.  We had nothing positive to say.  \n\nNow, at the time, I had a throat infection that was getting stronger and stronger by the day.  A few days after I had been talking with my friend, I turned on Christian TV and saw Benny Hinn.  I thought I had better actually watch, since I'd been saying some pretty bad things about him, with no evidence to back up my scepticism.\n\nI was critical during the whole show.  At the end, Benny was sitting on a couch, talking to the camera, praying for sick people watching.  He was calling out various physical problems that God was healing.  Just when I thought, "This is ridiculous" and was about to turn off the TV, Benny said something like, "Someone has just been healed of a throat infection."  I heard it, and, started to wonder if it could actually be possible.  I swallowed and the pain was totally gone.  I could breath normally for the first time in about a week.  I was radically healed.  The next day I woke up, almost expecting the infection to be back, but it was gone, for good.\n\nWhat I learned from this:  DO NOT JUDGE!!!  As far as I know there is absolutely nothing unbiblical that goes on at Benny Hinn's meetings.  The Bible is clear that Jesus "stripes" (or wounds) were for our healing (as His death was for our eternal life).  Whether miraculously or over time, I believe it is always God's will for us to be healed, as sickness and death are a part of the curse He came to remove.  We just need to hear it preached from the Bible in context (faith comes by hearing), and believe, as we believed when we were born again.

I had a vision from God and was shown something in my future. I forgot about it after awhile, when 3 years later it was revealed to me exactly as seen,& spoken to me by God.Tears sprang to my eyes as I realized the promise & vision He had revealed to me 3 years earlier. Thank-you Jesus!

Have you seen him lately in His resurected body. It is the most beautiful and perfect creation that the Christ has ever created. And guess what? you have one waiting for you too when you shed this old vehicle that you are traveling in now. That is if you care to find the truth in time. \nLove and peace from the source of it all.

Oh my goodness, your hallucination proves that a god exists???\n\nPardon me while I beg to differ.

Father God's in heaven, Jesus at his right hand praying for us and the Holy spirit working actively through christians.\n\nFor example:\n\nMy sister had chronic epilepsy - God didn't sit by and watch - he healed her miraculously. \n\nMy wife had polycystic ovaries and we weren't able to have children - God didn't sit by and watch - he healed her miraculously and we now have 3 children (do see my question on miracles on this site). \n\nA member of our church has just come from Africa - and he's so full of how great God is and all the things He's doing for people there (incl. people being healed of HIV!). \n\nSimilarly check out brother Yun's book "The Heavenly Man" for the miraculous things (incl. healings and miraculous escapes) God's doing in China despite the christians being rounded up and thrown in prison and tortured. \n\nRead Jackie Pullinger's book "Chasing the dragon" to see the miraculous things (incl. people set free from heroin instantly with no cold turkey) God's doing in the walled city in Hong Kong. \n\nAnd there are many more books detailing God at work available through Amazon.\n\nI suspect you asking because you think God is sitting around doing nothing while there's suffering (which would make him an evil being) - but the truth is He is very much active! \n\nNow have you the balls to seriously follow this up?

Yes I have seen an Angel. It was a spiritual experience. I had passed three dead bodies on the road from three different highway accidents while driving on highway 186 out of Villa Hermosa, Mexico.  I was not the only one that saw the Angel. You can get a copy of my story on CD free of cost.   Just write and ask for it.

I haven't, but I have a friend who has seen one.\n\nHe talks about it all the time.  He has told me that it is one of the most amazing things he has every seen.\n\nInteresting, he has the same initials as you.

Why doesn't he stand on the side of the road like a billboard?  He does, all of creation testifies to His existance. Study something as simple as a leaf- it's astounding the detail that goes into it.  You seem to like analogies- I do too- so look at it this way: if you see a beautiful Monet, you can admire the brushstrokes, the colors and the composition and no one has to try and convince you that there was an artist!  "No, no," you might say, "I believe that thousands of years ago all those colors were just thrown into the air and they happened to land on the canvas in this fashion."  The creation (the painting) testifies to the existance of a painter (the creator)\n\nMatthew 7:7 says if you seek Him you will find Him.  A friend of mine grew up in an orphanage in India and as a small child, wanted to know if there was more to God.  Jesus appeared to Him in a vision and told Him who He was.  Then he began praying for a bible and miraculously enough, some missionaries (this was back in the 1950's- people didn't travel as much as they do today) happened to pass through their small villiage and visit the orphanage so he could have a bible.  He's a missionary now, going to my church and traveling back and forth to India.  \n\nWe have a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.  It is the Holy Spirit that works on this earth.  I've seen people's deaf ears open. I took a drug dealer to church once, and the power of God there made him start to convulse on the floor- THE NEXT DAY 1.He called all his contacts, 2.quit selling and using drugs and 3. started a street evangelism ministry for the homeless in Houston.  I know God exists because He works in my life- the Holy Spirit can give me a check in my spirit and keep me from going places, and can teach me through revelation. \n\nI have personally prayed for people and God has shown me specific situations in their lives to talk to them about.  One woman I met in a Burger King (she was an employee there) God put it on my heart to pray for her.  As I began to pray I said, "God let her be a light to Chris." and she stopped me, took about 3 steps back and wide-eyed asked, "how did you know my husband's name was Chris?"  Well, I didn't.  I had never met her before; I just prayed what God wanted me to- and He wanted to show her that He knew her, He saw her, He knew her situation and that He cared.  It was pretty cool!\n\n Just yesterday I was reading Psalm 2 about how God fights our battles for us, and I asked Him to do that for me.  Well last night we went to dinner at this restaurant, the food was awful, we were over charged for our meals, but it was such an exhausting day that I didn't feel like fighting our waiter. We still tipped him (since i was a waitress for years) Well the guy comes back with our check copy AND a bag of pasta (the pasta was the large size we'd been charged for, but had not recieved) saying "the kitchen accidentally made this- you guys want it?"  fresh bread (he hadn't been refilling our bread basket as he should have) and our leftovers.  And my friend, without knowing about my conversation with God that morning said, "Man, we didn't even have to fight him (the waiter)" \n\n I know this is an insignificant story, I could tell you more miraculous ones, like how I was woken in the middle of the night to pray for my sister who was busy totaling her car (but walked away with only a small scratch on her knee after clearing a 5' tall fence!) how I was healed of a degenerative family disease, how the power of God has touched my home, but it is the daily testimonies, the small things, that grow our faith. He just wanted me to know yesterday (because of all the battles I'm going through right now) that He cares even for the smallest skirmishes. E-mail me if you want to know more.  I could tell you story after story of the miraculous things God has done.
