John 2:4
His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
REFLECT
Jesus’ mom (my mom too because I am in Jesus) tells me, His servant, to DO whatever He says!
PRAY
Help me my God, hear what you tell me. Help me my Hod Do what you tell me! Thank you Holy Mother for reminding me to listen to Him and obey Him! Amen.
READ
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
REFLECT
No one can see the kingdom unless they are in the kingdom. No wonder there is so much sin. Sinners cannot see or do kingdom living without being in the kingdom. Do not waste your anger on people that cannot see they are doing wrong. Be grieved and pray for them to be enlightened.
PRAY
Jesus, when I disobey or reject a direction I lose some grace. It darkens my mind a bit. I must be completely open to your Spirit and be listening to obey you especially when it’s hard! I can’t afford to block the Spirit, I do not want to walk in the darkness. Help me not resist! Amen.
READ
John 3:11-12
Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
REFLECT
Jesus and the church tell the truth. If I won’t believe him even on a natural level how will I possibly believe on the supernatural level. I must be willing to receive. That is a personal choice. No one can make someone choose to be open to receive truth.
PRAY
Holy Spirit, help me! Help me understand when I am blocking you. I have to choose to be open to receive truth. That is my choice. Please open my eyes to see where I am not open. Help me be open. I want to believe all you came to give me. Amen.
READ
John 3:17-18
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
REFLECT
Jesus cane to save us. It seems our preaching lately has been that Jesus came to condemn if you don’t shape up. But we are dead in our sin. We cannot see we are dead. Jesus came to save us. Believe that he has come to set you free. Believe that he has come to heal your blindness. Believe that he has come to heal your disobedience that has led to more death. Believe he has come to give you power to want and choose life. Believe his Holy Name as Savior from Sin!!
PRAY
Oh my Jesus, I believe you want to heal me. I believe you came to save me from sin. I believe you can open my eyes, heal my disobedience, and give me power to choose life! Help my unbelief!! Amen!
READ
John 3:19-21
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
REFLECT
Light has come to show us how dark we are inside. We are dark because we love evil. We are all practicing evil and we don’t want to come to the light or our darkness will be exposed.
Those who do truth come to the light. They are doing works by being in God.
PRAY
Jesus, help me come to the light. Change me into a person in you so that I can do works in you. I don’t want darkness anymore. I don’t want to practice evil. Change my heart! Only you can change hearts. I give you mine to change. Save me! Amen.
