Why were the apostles so blown away by what Jesus did? Not only because He miraculously calmed the storm (the supernatural) but even more so because He changed their circumstance (the natural). They asked themselves ‘what kind of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey?!’ They were focused on the miracle and the change of their circumstance for the better. But could it be that they actually missed the point in the matter? What would have …

However, before we find out what God wants us to do in this life, we need to gain an intimate revelation of what He did for us on …
Intimate Truth was started by a young couple from central Europe. It was at the age of 31 when they experienced an event that would forever change their lives. An encounter with terminal disease facing physical death. Man was impotent, modern medicine had no answer and only God would be the solution. It was then that they found true life. Life not based on human intellect but based on the love of God. Jesus’ last words on the cross „It …
Most denominations and Christian organizations have a written statement of faith declaring what they believe about certain subjects. Even though we have no intent of starting a religious organization, we get a lot of requests asking us to summarize our beliefs. This is in no way intended to be understood as doctrine or to be followed by others. This is just an attempt to communicate our revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Again, this is our revelation and it …
When reading the Gospels, most Christians have the perception that if Christ said something it automatically applies to them. Jesus said it, so I have to adhere to it. Jesus said it, so it’s also directed towards me. Jesus said it, so it must be truth. Yes, everything that Jesus said was truth at the time he said it and in the context it was said. But when we look at Jesus’ words we have to look at who he …
In order to clearly understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ – the good news – we must also understand what the bad news was. When God first created man, he created him in His image, in His likeness. Man was created perfect and whole. We need to understand that God created man in His image and likeness spiritually and by doing so, man was a perfect creation. Man was born of the Spirit of God and he did not know lack, he was …
Paul is one of the biggest contributors to the New Testament. Having written an estimated 13 letters that were included in the New Testament canon. Almost all of his letters begin with a lengthy introduction (sometimes more than 50% of his letter) about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here he lays the foundations of what the Gospel is and what Christ’s redemptive work accomplished for the reader. After this lengthy foundation he goes on to talk about practical things, current dealings …
In Christianity the phrase “Word of God” is a very common one. Most of the time it is used when referring to the Bible. “Let’s see what the Word of God says about this subject” “The Word of God says that we should …” “God said in His Word …” These are all common phrases that are littering the Christian landscape today. If we would poll Christians on this subject an estimated 95% would respond with the Bible when asked …
The number one theme of mainstream Christianity today, is changing your circumstances. An estimated 80% of Christian teachings, sermons, messages and books center around changing your circumstances, bettering your life, dealing with the material aspect of life (seen realm), etc. Having faith to change your circumstances will never have the same fulfillment or lasting effect as having faith in who you spiritually are — your spiritual identity (based on Christ in you, the Gospel, the Truth). Faith in who you spiritually are supersedes circumstances …
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity. It was an act of love initiated by God and executed by Christ. It created a whole new species of humanity and without it there would be no Christianity today. Yet, Christians all over the world struggle with the concepts of the Gospel. Christians as a whole lack a clear understanding of what the Gospel really is. Where can we find the Gospel? Is the Gospel the same as the Bible? …
