Feeling Kinda like a Squirrel ?

Help from GOD

A woman named Edna finds herself in dire trouble. Her business has gone bust and she's in serious financial trouble. She's so desperate that she decides to ask God for help. She begins to pray...' God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lotto.'

Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it.

Edna again prays.... 'God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well.'

Lotto night comes and Edna still has no luck.

Once again, she prays, 'My God, why have you forsaken me?? I've lost my business, my house, and my car. My children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. PLEASE, just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order.

Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Edna is confronted by the voice of God Himself:

'Edna, meet Me halfway on this. Buy a ticket.'

Church Ladies with Tripewriters

You Believeth Not?

I have a question that only applies to certain people. These are the good folks, which are working for the Lord. Most of us don’t even care anything about working, for the Lord. Some of us call attending a church service working, for the Lord. Whatever we do, or don’t do, for Jesus is the things that, I am speaking about. This causes another question to rise, besides those that I already had prepared to ask.  Do we, or how do we know what it is to truly work, for our Lord?

A lot of people seem to know the Lord, and everything about Him. I am one that is far from that knowledge. I don’t understand the things of the Lord, unless Holy Spirit reveals them to me. I often read or, listen to what other human being reveal, what they say that Holy Spirit has revealed to then. There are times that my Spirit quickly confirms the accuracy of the statement. Other times it appears to be foolishness and I have to back away.

I would really like to go to the third book of John, for our study today. I think that we need to take this pretty much verse by verse, to achieve any real understanding. This starts with a man, not just any man. This man was a ruler of the Jews, and a Pharisee. His name was Nickodemus, and he was a teacher of the laws of God. Nickodemus could be acquainted with a modern day Theologian. He was intelligent, and well educated.

Nickodemus came to seek the Lord at night. The reason probably is that he didn’t want the rest of the Pharisees to know what he was doing. Nickodemus realized something that more of the others didn’t grasp. Verse 2 states that Jesus is a teacher comes from God, and then he said that no man was capable to do the miracles which He did if He wasn’t of God.

Verse 3 says Jesus answered and said something that didn’t really have to do with what Nickodemus had said to begin with. Jesus understood why Nickodemus had come in the first place, and simply cut to the chase.  Jesus explained how a man could be born again, because it is a qualification to receive a new life, and be a part of the kingdom of God, and receive eternal life.  Nickodemus was confused, and ask the question of how can these things be?

This is getting really close, to the point that, I would like to bring out today. Jesus is starting to speak again, and I feel that it is very important to hear His Words.  I believe that if we never heard another person speak, beside Jesus that we would be much better off. There is a reason that He is the Way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)

Jesus is starting to say some Words that I find very interesting, while talking with Nickodemus.

John 3:11  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

This is very important to me the way that Jesus words this phrase. We speak the things that we do know, and we provide evidence for, to bear witness, and there is always a reason that you don’t relieve the truth from us.

John 3:12  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Here is my point; if we are too shallow to believe, and understand the thing of the earth, in which we live. What are the things that Jesus can’t even share with us?  It seems that Jesus wanted to share everything with us that we could possibly understand, or either be made to understand. I honestly believe, and this is my own opinion that, the only reason that Father held back the time that Jesus would return to the earth was the fact that Jesus would tell those whom He loved.

Yes,…..that is right,……….Jesus loved us all!!  Straight from the creation of Adam, until the last human to be created on the earth. There is great love from Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for all those that were created in the image, of our God.

What Heavenly things do you think that, Jesus was talking about in John 3:12?   According to another scripture in the Word of God, I believe that there are a lot waiting for us, in the land of Heaven. Apparently we have enough trouble make a plain decision, whether or not to burn or not, and the way that we should be acting while on the earth.

I have gotten too far away from, my other question, to ask it. I believe that I have given us enough to ponder. Even if we have made the decision for Salvation, and understand that decision comes along with a relationship, or just considering taking Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior. There is always room for improvement.  There is only one choice that comes with regrets, and choosing our Mighty Creator and His beloved Son is not regrettable in any way.         Ain’t Jesus Awesome?

           ….Much Love
