Angel Orbs Miracle (Page 2 continued)

SUPERNATURAL ORBS

“New Age” followers and spiritualists of all kinds, who recognize the Orbs are not lifeless dust, believe these unexplainable circles of light are supernatural, “paranormal” life forms, spiritual in nature.  Some believe the Orbs are the souls of dead people, trapped between dimensions. Others believe the Orbs are unique life-forms such as ghosts, spirit guides or Angels.  Some even believe they are some type of UFO.

The first “New Age” international conference, dedicated solely to the discussion of Orbs, was held in Sedona, Arizona, in May of 2007, “ground zero” for the New Age movement in the USA.  A distinguished faculty, with university and National Geographic credentials spoke.  These people think they finally have scientific evidence that supports their unconventional “worldviews.”  An “Orb” search of the Internet will turn up hundreds of “New Age”, ghost hunter and spiritualist websites, with thousands of photographs, and theories.  However, none of these explanations will suffice for the serious scientist, or “anti-supernatural” skeptic, or Christian.

A CHRISTIAN EVALUATION

I felt lead by the Holy Spirit to provide a “Christian” response to the Orb phenomenon. Since September 2006, I have personally taken hundreds photographs of the unusual Orbs.  For many years, since 1976, I have experienced God’s supernatural manifestations in my life, including all kinds of miracles, healings, signs and wonders, just like those described and predicted in the Bible. Therefore, I admit that my personal bias is that of a Christian, who believes that the supernatural power of God and Satan is still operating in today’s universe.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we must examine all the evidence and evaluate it through the prism of the Bible.  Therefore, I am addressing this issue now, since many Christians are finding these Orbs in their own photographs, just as I have, and are seeking Biblical answers to the phenomenon.  My search of the Internet turned up photographs from Christian churches and ministries, all over the world, where the Orbs are clearly visible in their pictures.   Very little explanation is offered usually.  However, a few churches and ministries are now beginning to acknowledge the Orb phenomenon, as a “sign and wonder” of the “last days”.

My own credentials to evaluate this phenomenon include being a professional Artist and Architect.  I was also college trained in photography, at “Texas A& M University.”  I have done photography professionally since 1976, using all kinds of cameras and lighting methods. The photographs presented with this introductory article were all taken with my own digital camera, a “Canon Rebel”, and with my wife’s “Canon PowerShot SD 500”.  Subsequent website pages feature photographs taken by other “Born-again” Christians, using both film and digital cameras of all kinds.  To learn what it means to be “Born-again” click here.

As I said, I am a follower of Jesus Christ.  He is the “Root” of my belief system.  I love Jesus with all my heart and have been a “Born-Again”, “water baptized”, Christian, since the age of seven (1958).  I have read the entire Bible numerous times and take it literally, as the inspired Word of God.  I also try to live by it.

My family currently worships at a non-denominational church, Impact Christian Fellowship, but I worshipped exclusively in Southern Baptist churches during the first 40 years of my life.  I have deep Southern Baptist history, going back at least four generations, on both sides of my family.  I share this personal information, because some Christians are very suspicious of other Christians who witness supernatural miracles.

The reader should understand, I did not start out with the supernatural, “Charismatic/Pentecostal” type, evangelical Christian “worldview”, which I have now.

In addition, I must mention for Christians reading this, that I also have Biblical “Fruit” in my life.  Over the years, God has given me the distinct privilege of personally leading hundreds of people to Jesus Christ, in Salvation.  I have also personally witnessed, since 1976, the Holy Spirit work many supernatural miracles, including dramatic healings, similar to those described in the Bible.

To maintain an accurate, honest testimony, I have documented the supernatural intervention of God in my life, in numerous Prayer Journals, starting in 1989. (Click here to read about some of these “Greiner Family Miracles”).  These miracles first started occurring in great frequency, after my wife and I both prayed for God to release the supernatural “Gifts of the Holy Spirit” into our lives (1 Corinthians 12).  (Click here to learn more about this “Empowering Experience”, which God reserves for all true followers of Jesus Christ.)

A CHRISTIAN EXPLANATION

I believe God wants me to provide a Christian explanation of the Orbs on our website, so other followers of Jesus Christ can have a Biblical answer to the Orb phenomenon.  After searching the Internet, I was not able to find a single Scriptural explanation of the Orbs. Even though many Christian churches and ministries are currently experiencing the Orbs in their photographs, most have not “officially” addressed the issue, on their websites. This is probably due to the potential controversy that could result, and opportunity for misunderstanding, whenever the supernatural is discussed. 

The Angelic Orbs first started appearing at Impact Christian Fellowship in mid-September of 2006, in the original sanctuary. While taking photographs for the church's new website, Orbs of light were unexpectantly captured by several photographers, including the Artist. This is the Kerrville non-denominational church that Max and Sherry Greiner attend when they are in town.

On Easter of 2007, George Comegys, founding Pastor of Impact Christian Fellowship in Kerrville, Texas spoke a blessing over the people. Max took three photos in sequence which showed an Angelic Orb over George.
Richard Holcomb, one of the founding Elders of the church, had a bright Angelic Orb nearby as he prayed individually for people.
Orbs seem to be follow lead Pastor, David Danielson, as he preaches, sings and ministers.
This rare photo shows a half hidden Orb behind Philip Jimenez, disproving the "tiny particle theory."

Therefore, as a simple follower of Jesus Christ, I am providing the following explanation, which is my best understanding of the Orbs, as of this date.  I acknowledge that I can be wrong, in my assessment of the Orb phenomenon.  Jesus is always right, but His children are often wrong.

Therefore, this information is provided with humility, for Christians like me, who have a sincere desire to understand what is going on.  This explanation is for people who have a “teachable spirit”, and are not afraid to evaluate the scientific facts and the evidence, in light of the written Word of God.  The Bible says Christians should “discern” the times they live in.  I believe we are in the “last days”, before the return of Christ, when “signs and wonders” are predicted.

SOLID GROUND

First, as Christians, we must all stand on firm “Scriptural ground.”  We must believe, accept and embrace the Bible, and supernatural world it describes.  It states there is a “natural”, scientifically observable world, and there is an invisible, “supernatural” world around us, of another dimension.  As Christians, we must believe Jesus, and all of His promises and His miracles, as described in the Bible.  Remember, Jesus said to at least believe Him on the basis of His miracles (John 14:11).  The scientifically unexplainable Christian miracles in our world today, are just further proof that Jesus is alive.  However, so is Satan, along with his counterfeit miracles.  The Bible says strange, supernatural events would occur at the “end of the age”, as knowledge increased and people moved faster and faster.  In the end, evil would be called good, and good called evil.  We are there.

All supernatural miracles described in the Scripture actually happened, just as presented. They are not fiction or mythology, they are fact. The same kinds of supernatural Gifts and miracles still occur in our time, because the Bible says they do.  The millions of Christians who have personally witnessed verifiable, supernatural miracles will testify to this fact.  Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever. (Heb 13: 8).  If God ever worked supernatural miracles, He still does!

In fact, if you are a Christian with an “anti-supernatural” worldview, understand this: It will take a supernatural, unexplainable miracle of God, to take you to Heaven when you die!  Just because you don’t believe miracles are still happening, doesn’t mean they are not happening.  It just means you don’t believe they are happening.  Jesus said you must have faith and believe first, before you get to see.

Christians by definition must believe in the supernatural.  The miracles and supernatural Gifts of God have never ceased, despite what some learned Christians teach.  The Scripture and the factual evidence are overwhelmingly on the side of those Christians who believe in contemporary spiritual Gifts and miracles!

FEAR NOT!!!!

Christians need not fear miracles, or the supernatural.  “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a sound mind” (2 Ti 1: 7).  At the same time, God commands us to “Test the spirits”, (1 Jn 4: 1).  “Satan himself can appear as an angel of light” (2 Cor 11: 14).

This is why we must have the Word of God, and the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor 12), to judge what we see, hear and experience.  We need the Biblical Gift of “Discerning of spirits.”  (Click here for more information on receiving God’s supernatural Gifts and His Empowerment).  God expects His children to ask for all nine of the supernatural Gifts, because without them operating in our lives, we can incorrectly attribute a miracle of Satan to God; or worse, a miracle of God to Satan.

International Evangelist Graham Cooke participated in the December 2006 dedication of the new sanctuary at Impact Christian Fellowship.
Orbs filled the room as Pastor Bill Johnson, of Bethel Church in Redding, California prayed for miracles on December 18, 2006.
It is apparent that the Holy Spirit of God feels comfortable at Impact Christian Fellowship, since His Angels, miracles,manifestations and supernatural Gifts are welcomed by the church leadership.

THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN

In fact, Jesus said that the “unforgivable sin” is to attribute to Satan or his demons, miracles that were actually worked by the Holy Spirit of God (Mt 12: 31).  This is exactly what this verse says, even though some theologians try to twist the meaning.  All Christians must be extremely careful when judging, and speaking out against modern day, supernatural miracles, especially if other Christians witness them.  Jesus commanded His children to testify to His miracles in their lives.  That is what we must do, regardless of what people think of us, to please Jesus.  Remember, just because we have not personally experienced something supernatural ourselves, does not mean other Believers are not experiencing a genuine, supernatural work of the Holy Spirit.

ACCUSERS OF THE BRETHEN

Ironically, it is not the unbelievers who usually ridicule Christians for witnessing modern day miracles.  It is other religious “Christians” who belittle fellow Believers, regarding their miracle testimony.  These self-righteous, experts often claim to have all the answers, and the ability to judge correctly, every miracle testimony they hear, even before examining the evidence, or knowing anything about the Believer.  Since these theological experts are not experiencing God’s supernatural power in their own lives, they incorrectly assume it can’t be genuine in the lives of other Believers.

These “Accusers of the Brethren” are quick to persecute authentic Christians, who are only trying to sincerely witness their personal testimony, as best they can. Ironically, these witnesses, in many cases have led hundreds, and even thousand of people to Jesus Christ in Salvation.  Yet, the experts themselves, in most cases, haven’t led a single soul to Jesus.

In fact, many of these “anti-miracle”, “anti-Gifts”, anti- “Baptism in the Holy Spirit” Christians are secretly involved in the largest cult in the world, Free Masonry, which is based on Islam. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of innocent Christians have been deceived into taking 32 suicide oaths, until finally at the highest levels, they are informed of the organization’s deception, and presented with the Koran. These deceived victims are eventually told that Allah is the only true God, not Jesus Christ. Satan’s involvement in this organization is even so bold, that the “Satanic Star” and Moslem images are used as the main Masonic symbols.

Satan has deceived many good Christians.  My father was a “32nd Degree Mason”, and my grandmother, on my mother’s side was the leader of the Southeast Texas women’s Masonic group, “Eastern Star.”  Both acknowledged their sin, and renounced their involvement in Free Masonry, in the name of Jesus, before their deaths.  Jesus set them free of the evil oaths, they were tricked into saying.

Unfortunately, today many Free Masons hold high positions of authority in Christian churches, denominations, universities and seminaries. This is hard to believe, but true.  Therefore, it should be no surprise that these are the first people to oppose the operation of the God’s supernatural “Gifts of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor 12), in the Christian church.  The churches controlled by Free Masons always oppose the manifestations and supernatural “Gifts” of God. They reject the Biblical “Gifts of the Holy Spirit”, that the Apostle Paul taught, yet allow Christians who have taken dozens of evil Masonic suicide oaths to take leadership positions.  And we wonder why much of the organized church is weak.

It is Satan who wants to stop God’s miracles in the Christian church, and lives of individual Believers.  This is why he uses “religious” experts, who are under his influence.  Satan uses these Christians to ridicule and attack the faith and testimony of true Believers. Jesus said not to be surprised when this happens.  These religious experts “have a form of Godliness, but deny the power there of.” (2 Ti 3:5).  The Bible says to:“have nothing to do with such as these.”
