Based on the Bible and historical records, Jesus most likely ate a diet similar to the Mediterranean diet, which includes foods like kale, pine nuts, dates, olive oil, lentils and soups. They also baked fish.

However, knowing the identity of Jesus is critical.

God is God and He works all things, including your life, according to his purposes. Nothing can happen without God ordaining it. God has numbered your days and will fulfill every purpose He has for you. However, our choices and actions also really matter.

Showing gratitude for those positive things that already exist in your life makes it easier to trust in the potential for even better things ahead.

Psalm 9:9-10 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 34:10b Those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Isaiah 26: 3-4 Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock.

God Allows Suffering to Bring Us Closer to Him And He often uses hard times to get our attention. When things are going great we are not so quick to turn to Him. But when trials come, they often drive us to our knees in search of answers and comfort.

Here are some ways to help you find your way back to Him:

1. Talk to Him. Just as with any other person in your life, communication is essential to strengthening your relationship with God.
2. Obey Him. Obey God’s commandments.
3. Study the scriptures.
4. Listen for Him.
5. Show gratitude.
6. Be mindful.

When you come into the presence of a Holy God, it’s natural for tears to flow. In fact, I would surmise that when you pray with others, they start crying too. Flowing tears indicate you have a tender heart towards God. That means you’ll be able to hear Him when He speaks to you.

Talk to Jesus through prayer. Tell him what you are up to or what your plans are or why you are sad or what you need and so on. He is your Father. He wants what’s best for you and most of all he wants you! Go to him for everything and you will feel closer to him in no time.

When you talk to God you should be really honest and speak to Him. Don’t just offer rote prayers. You will find you will ask God hard honest questions, and that is alright. Just keep two things in mind.

In the 2003 Jim Carrey comedy “Bruce Almighty,” God’s phone number (776-2323, no area code) appears on the Carrey character’s pager, so of course moviegoers called it and asked to speak to God. That’s kind of funny, unless you happened to own that number in your area code.

God will confirm things that He is speaking to you. Ask Him to confirm what you think He is speaking to you in your mind. He can confirm it to you in so many ways, but a primary way He does this is through Scripture or through an anointed teaching.

God speaks through thoughts and feelings No, but he will help you “hear” him through thoughts and feelings.

This is partly because God uses many different means to contact us — he may reach us through another person, an image, a phrase, a feeling or even through a dream. Even if you don’t think your repeating dreams are important, they often leave lingering feelings in your heart. Don’t ignore these feelings.

Contrary to the rationalist hooey that dreams aren’t real (“You’re just dreaming”), dreams are very much real. They convey real information, real impact, real emotions, and have real consequences if ignored.

Yes … God speaks directly to humans. Over 2,000 times in the Old Testament there are phrases such as, “And God spoke to Moses” or “the word of the Lord came to Jonah” or “God said.” We see an example of this in Jeremiah 1:9.

For many scholars, Revelation 1:14-15 offers a clue that Jesus’s skin was a darker hue and that his hair was woolly in texture. The hairs of his head, it says, “were white as white wool, white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace.”
