Good morning. We
are back in Psalms. Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His
lovingkindness is everlasting. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so (go ahead –
say "so!"), whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary. Yes
we should say how God has redeemed us from all our sins and from all harm. Of
course in today's world, we are ridiculed for saying so. Speaking about the
children of Israel, it says He led them also by a straight way. God also leads
us along a straight and narrow path. And we should not deviate from this
straight path. For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, and the hungry soul He
has filled with what is good. Too many Christians today are not hungering and
thirsting after righteousness. They are hungering and thirsting after things
instead of righteousness. If you are willing, your soul will never hunger or
thirst again. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their
destructions. It is His word that heals and delivers us. Apart from His word we
have nothing. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, and for
His wonders to the sons of men! And a verse that reminds us of Hebrews: let
them also offer sacrifices of Thanksgiving. Tell of His works with joyful
singing. That is the type of sacrifices we offer today – sacrifices of
Thanksgiving, not of animals. Father thank You that the reader has been
redeemed from the hand of the adversary. His/her thirsty and hungry soul has
been satisfied. He/she has been healed and delivered. He/she offers sacrifices
of Thanksgiving continually.
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 ...
