Jesus & The 7 Frequencies
Pastor Erwin McManus shared a dynamic new message based on the scriptures and his brand-new book The Seven Frequencies of Communication.
After being asked what God’s frequency of communication is, Pastor Erwin shared that Jesus himself is God’s frequency of communication.
Through examples in the scriptures, we see that though Jesus is fluent in all seven frequencies, he tailors his voice to the needs of each individual.
To the broken, Jesus speaks as a healer.
To those who need a teacher, Jesus speaks as a professor.
To the stagnant, Jesus speaks as a challenger.
To the doubtful, Jesus speaks as a motivator.
To those who need vision, Jesus speaks as a seer.
To the directionless, Jesus speaks as a commander.
To those who need a new view of reality, Jesus speaks as a maven.
Jesus is always speaking to us in the frequency we need to hear in the moment instead of simply what we want to hear.
Are you ready to tune into the frequency of Jesus?
Listen to this powerful message today and order Pastor Erwin’s brand-new book The Seven Frequencies of Communication.
