Seeing God [Eph1,gen32]
By Phil Beach Jr.2357:47EPH 1:17Phil Beach Jr. emphasizes that seeing God requires spiritual perception rather than physical sight, as exemplified by Jesus and the story of Jacob wrestling with God. He explains that true understanding of God comes through the Holy Spirit, who reveals our spiritual poverty and enables us to experience the riches of our inheritance in Christ.

The sermon encourages believers to seek a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit to unveil their true selves and experience the fullness of God's power and presence. Ultimately, the message is about the importance of having a pure heart to truly see God.
