Good morning. We are back
in Hebrews. In the middle of a sentence: and it is hard to explain, since you
have become dull of hearing. This happens to too many Christians. It's like
little boys: their mamas call them to dinner. Just a minute, they say. (nothing
happens) she calls again. (surprise – again nothing happens) that boy becomes
dull of hearing. Why didn't you come? I didn't hear your mama. Since she didn't
come and enforce her request, she trained him to become dull of hearing. (so
that's why husbands don't listen when their wives talk to them – their mamas
trained them that way) . Moving right along. Christians keep hearing messages
from the pulpit. When there is no immediate enforcement of the word spoken,
they become like little boys. They tune it out. They become dull of hearing.
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for
someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you
have come to need milk and not solid food. These Christians sit in church on
Sunday morning, and then do not apply the word to their lives. They have done
their weekly spiritual duty. They never grow spiritually. They can only take
milk because they are still babies. They are not accustomed to the word of
righteousness. They cannot handle solid food for it is for the mature, who
because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. You
have to practice the word to grow. Their little tummies will not handle solid
food. Father thank You that the reader is not dull of hearing. He/she is mature
and devours the word of righteousness. He/she has trained his/her senses to discern
good and evil. Heal the reader. Help him/her and his/her family to have their
best day ever!
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 ...
