In John 8:6, a women is thrown down at Jesus feet. Jesus bends down where the woman is at. He begins to write on the stones at the temple. Only God had written on stones. The reality of who Jesus is, caused the religious leaders to leave. I find it interesting that Jesus told Nicodemus, a very religious man, that he must be born again. The man humbled himself and came to Jesus. As believers we are born again of God's Spirit. 1Peter 1:22-23 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, Beloved, love is always willing to stoop down to help another up. Humility is a sign that we are born again of God's Spirit. A humble person will always point to Jesus, never themselves. 1 Peter 5:5-6 Likewise you younger people, submit to your elders, Yes, all of yo...
When Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, He depended on the word of God. Matthew 4:3-11 Now the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God,(HE TRIED TO PLACE DOUBT IN JESUS MIND) command these stones become bread. (He dealt with the Lords natural hunger) But He answered and said, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Then he took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down, for it is written, (From Psalms 91:11, notice the devil misquoted Gods word, and left out "to keep You in all your ways) "He will give His angels charge over you. and, "In their hands their they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. Jesus said to to him "It is written again, "You shall not tempt the Lord your God." Again, the devil took Him up to an exceedingly high moun...
The whole earth is getting ready to rest. To have old things that hindered our growth, removed and to make room for the new growth. In the Spring it will be evident what has transpired. John 15:1-5 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away, and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing. The pruning process will lead us to greater growth in the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such there is no l...
