Ladies and Gentlemen, WHERE is our FOCUS?

There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, We all know that God has sent You to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with You.  Jesus replied,

I tell you the Truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.

What do you mean? exclaimed Nicodemus. How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?   Jesus replied,

I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of Water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to Spiritual Life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’

The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you cannot explain how people are born of the Spirit.

How are these things possible? Nicodemus asked.  Jesus replied,

You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things?

I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won’t believe our testimony.  But if you don’t believe Me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about Heavenly things?

No one has ever gone to Heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from Heaven.

For God loved the world so much that he gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have Eternal Life. God sent His Son into the world not to judge (not condemn) the world, but to SAVE the world through Him.

Dear ones, we are extremely aware of the “Spiritual Warfare” that is raging in our country and around the world. This biological PLANdemic was meant to cause massive destruction in human deaths and economic ruin from business shutdowns. HOWEVER, our GOD-JEHOVAH has given His GRACE, His Mercies, and His Truth to overcome this evil. We have RE-FOCUSED our priorities and our concepts of Divine Intervention in the affairs of mankind, because of the Holy Spirit moving across our land.

We know for certain that these so-called “experts” have LIED over and over again about the statistics on this Virus. We know for certain that cloth masks do NOT prevent the spread of a “deadly” virus, otherwise we would all have biohazard waste bins in every home.

Our God given common sense tells us that we have been duped by evil people seeking to control our lives, our fortunes, by promoting their FEAR, ANGER, BITTERNESS & RESENTMENT as a way of Life.  NOT ONE Democratic candidate running for public office is HAPPY nor Patriotic nor Hopeful about America’s future.

Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in Galatians 5:16-26

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.

But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the Law of Moses. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control! There is no law against these things!

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

 

Make it so Dear LORD, make it so!

Remember the words of the Prophet – Nehemiah in Nehemiah 8:10:

Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is Holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the JOY of the LORD is your strength!

Amen and AMEN!!
