The Bible teaches that every spirit which isn't from God denies that Jesus has come in the flesh, and is an antichrist spirit. The word "Christ" means "anointed one." Antichrist spirits work against the anointing.
All orthodox Christians acknowledge that Jesus came as a man, with a human body. However, it's easy to mentally acknowledge a truth but deny its implications. We can say something is true, yet actually think and act as if it isn't. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. If what we believe isn't producing power, we should consider how well we really understand the gospel.
There are whole systems of thought within Christianity which can be traced back to the teachings of the Gnostics, who denied that Jesus had come in a human body. Such teachings have crippled the church, resulting in powerlessness and a failure to manifest Christ's nature of love.
The lies of an antichrist spirit are not only behind powerlessness in the church. They are also at the root of sexual immorality and every major problem in our societies, including violent crime, drug addiction, health problems, poverty, and more.
The healing ministry demonstrates every truth that the incarnation implies. It demonstrates that Jesus has come in the flesh, and it strikes at the root of every problem in our societies today.
Have you wondered why there's so much sexual immorality in the church, and why the church has failed to transform society? Do you want to see the earth around you become like heaven? "Jesus Has Come In The Flesh" will illuminate your understanding of the incarnation and teach you to really act and think according to its truth. Recognize the lies of an antichrist spirit which have caused so much destruction and have hindered you from walking in God's power.
Understanding the incarnation took me from a place of powerlessness and frustration to living a life of miracles. "Jesus Has Come In The Flesh" includes many stories illustrating the truth of the incarnation. These include my first time helping a man out of a wheelchair, healing from an infection caused by self-harm, deliverance from alcoholism with healing from stage four cancer, healing from extreme chronic pain; and many other stories of healing, sharing Christ, and overrunning an antichrist spirit's resistance.
"We've all agreed with an antichrist spirit's lies at one time or another. It's not that we don't acknowledge Jesus has come in the flesh. It's that we sometimes act and speak as if he hasn't."
"Once I broke free from the influence of an antichrist spirit, miracles happened all around me. Wherever the church lacks power, the influence of an antichrist spirit can be found.
If Jesus lives in you, you have already overcome all antichrists. The anointing is the Spirit of Jesus within you. Walking in the anointing is a matter of recognizing and rejecting the lies of an antichrist spirit. Then, you begin to think and act according to the truth that Jesus has come in the flesh."
"An antichrist spirit can only keep Christians from manifesting Christ by getting them to believe its lies. You've seen the lies now. Reject them."
About the Author:
Jonathan Brenneman was born in Rochester, New York and raised in Pennsylvania. Although a very troubled child he was at the same time very religious. He read the Bible from cover to cover when he was seven years old, all the while questioning and wondering about the existence of God.
When Jonathan was nine years old, he woke up one morning with bad back pain. His mother prayed for him, and to his surprise, he felt something like a hot ball of energy rolling up and down inside his back, and the pain melted away. It was shocking to say the least, but it convinced him God did exist! He later told his friends, "I know that God is real. I felt his hand on my back."
In spite of this experience, Jonathan still had no peace. He prayed the "sinner's prayer" but with no change until two years later when he had a "born again" experience. It felt like heaven opened and unexplainable joy and peace descended upon him! He was different, and knew it! The things he had felt so guilty about that he tried unsuccessfully to change, were simply gone.
After this time, Jonathan dedicated his life to the Lord as a missionary, going on his first mission trip at age fourteen. As a teenager and young adult he continued to travel and learn languages. Then, in a time of desperation when he was twenty years old, Jonathan went to a Christian conference where the Lord touched and encouraged him. It was the start of a supernatural lifestyle and growing in spiritual gifts, during which time many amazing miracles and healings began to happen.
Jonathan worked in construction, but in between jobs he began to visit churches in the United States and Canada as well as in Latin America and Eastern Europe. Jonathan has encouraged the believers, shared testimonies, and spoken with unbelievers and prayed for them. He's also worked with children and seniors. Jonathan believes it's a wonderful and tremendous privilege to be able to serve the people for whom Jesus gave his life.
Jonathan is now a missionary in Rio de Janeiro Brazil with his wife Elizabeth, and daughter Rebekah. He loves people, enjoys being with them, and rejoices at seeing what the Holy Spirit does in their lives. He likes to minister in the role of teaching, laying hands on the sick, visiting the elderly, and working with children-always loving them so they in turn will learn to love others with the love of God.
