Good morning. The ones we are going to look at today are from a handout sheet that I've had a long time. They are verses from various translations. Some we may have looked at before and some we will look at in the future. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. No matter what happens – good or bad - we are to praise the Lord continually. This shows our trust in Him. We are not thankful for the bad things; we are thankful despite them. As I praise Him all during the day, I will go from strength to strength; that is keep increasing in victorious power! God is not looking for the strong silent type. He is looking for those who express their praise to Him. God is working everything into a pattern for good, because I truly love Him and am one of those called to His purpose. Not everything is good but everything works into a pattern for good. I would not be here today if certain things had not happened during my life. At the time they seemed bad; but together they brought me to here where I am today. I'm sure God has done that in your life too. He knows where we are now and where we need to be in the future. Why does He care what happens to you - because you truly love Him and are one of those called to His purpose. And so: I will not be afraid of bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. My heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord! You don't have to lay awake at night fearing that you're going to hear some bad news. That is because you trust the Lord. You've heard it said that most of the things that we fear will happen never happen. But even if they do happen, we can trust in the Lord to take care of us. Thank You Father that the reader’s heart trusts in You and that You work everything into a pattern for good for him/her. No bad thing that he/she fears will overcome him/her. He/she will go from strength to strength and will continually praise You every day.

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

  Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

  Good morning. We left John at the entrance of the tomb, stooping and looking in. “Shy” Peter then arrives following John, and enters the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there. So the other disciple, John, who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. It does not say whether or not Peter believed. For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. I’m not exactly sure what it means by their own homes. They were originally from Galilee and would not have had homes in Jerusalem. Perhaps it means the homes where they were staying while in Jerusalem. Apparently, they were not staying in the upper room, or it would have said so. But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped (just like John) and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been l...
