My dear brothers and sisters, of FaithLine: Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin court, is impressed with the remarkable signs, and miracles, he came to ask Jesus about it. “Jesus replied to Nicodemus, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they ARE BORN AGAIN. Nicodemus said, “How can a man be born when he is old? Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water (physical birth) and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3-5) “Confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord.” Believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. Then YOU WILL BE SAVED.” (Rom. 10:9) Thousands of people do this and experience “new birth!” BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE!!!
Now regarding another important truth that we should be participating in, “…assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and DOES NOT 1DOUBT in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, HE WILL HAVE WHATEVER HE SAYS. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ASK when you pray, BELIEVE that you receive them, and YOU WILL HAVE THEM.” (Mark 11:23-24) 1diakrinō: strive with, contend, unbelief. If thousands tried this today, they would go away disappointed because we are not as desperate for God to work His miracalous power through us, to spread the gospel, as we are to be saved. Two lessons from our Lord, of necessity to bring the gospel to the whole world, both are mysterious and we must pray that the Lord will HELP OUR UNBELIEF…
SO WE CAN BE USED OF GOD FOR MIRACULOUS EVENTS TO OCCUR…
FaithLine, the bible says: “…whatever things you ASK when you pray, BELIEVE that you receive them, and YOU WILL HAVE THEM.”
