Good morning. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My Commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. There’s that keeping His commandments thing again. Ya think His mentioning it over and over again indicates that it might be important? These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. Keeping His commandments gives us joy? Actually it does. Little children may get upset and rebel against their parents’ “Commandments“, but inwardly they are actually happy to have the boundaries set; or so they say. Christians are the same. We may get upset and rebel against God‘s Commandments, but inwardly we are glad to have the boundaries set. OK, so what are His commandments? Let’s see that long list. This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. That’s it? Sure sounds easy. If Christians had loved one another as Jesus loved us, that would’ve taken care of almost all of the problems in the church. If you truly loved as Jesus loved you, you would do nothing to harm your brother or sister in Christ. You would do everything you could to meet their needs; in fact, you would put their needs ahead of your own. Sadly that does not happen; and when it does, too many times people take advantage of us. That makes us not want to do it again. Even though Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray Him, He still kept giving Judas chances over and over again to change his mind. Father thank You that Your healing hand is upon the reader’s family. Continue to heal them and make them whole.

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...
