AboutElder Greg Madden Expertise As a born again, Holy Ghost filled minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I am available to answer questions concerning most all Biblical doctrines, the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, "Pentecostal/Apostolic" issues, and the history of the Pentecostal movement. For more info check out our web site at... http://www.forministry.com/USOKPENTEMMM1 Experience I gave my heart to the Lord a few months after being married during a revival meeting. A few weeks later I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and I have not been the same since!
In those twenty five years we have only attended one church (Harvest Church), and there I have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. We minister in song with the choir and worship team. I am also the new member’s class coordinator, men's ministry director, and the Harvest Riders motorcycle ministry president.
In 1993 the Lord called me to "...preach the Gospel where ever I open the door..." I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.
Organizations I am ordained through Harvest Church, and with the World Harvest Ministerial Fellowship. I also am a licensed minister with the State of Oklahoma,

Question Did God use his hands to make man? This is a question that my co worker asked me, which was a trivia question in her tuesday night bible study class at church?
Answer Yvette,
Thank you for your interesting question. Let us look at the Scripture...
Genesis 2:7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The Bible does not specifically say whether God used His hands or used His the power of His will to form/create Adam. Though the Bible teaches us that God is a Spirit, we also can see in Scriptures indications of God having a body like ours (or could I say we have a body like His). By this I do not mean that God has a corporeal body (fleshly). But that as we have have hands, He does as well. So He very well could have used His "hands".
However, I do caution you on speculating. Speculation can often times lead one astray from Biblical truth's. Here is a phase that I like to use when dealing with such a topic on the Scriptures...
"Where the Scriptures are silent, I refuse to speak."
Words to live by.
Please let me know if this helps, or if you have any further questions.
