Good morning. Jesus said “you will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ‘I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’ But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee (we will come back to this statement at the end of Matthew)." Peter of course says he will not fall away no matter what everybody else does. Truly I say to you that this very night, before a cock crows (One gospel says twice), you shall deny Me three times. Peter gets really upset. Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You. People put Peter down for saying that, but all the disciples said the same thing too. They however did not publicly deny Him three times. Then they went to the garden of Gethsemane. He takes Peter, James, and John with Him to a separate place in the garden. My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me. He goes a little bit farther “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” This is the only time that Jesus ever prayed “if it is Your will"; and yet a lot of Christians tack that statement on to every prayer they make. To the best of our ability, we should make sure that we know what the word says about God’s will concerning our situation. If you're not sure, ask for it anyway – He is not going to get upset with us as long as our heart is right. If it's not His will, He won't answer the prayer. As long as your heart is right, it is better to ask and find out later that it was not His will, than to not ask and find out later that it was. And so with that in mind: Father we ask in Jesus’ name that you remove any storm from our houses and other property Thank You in Jesus name. Amen.

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...
