AUGUST 21 – JOHN 3:8

08/21               John 3:8

8 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 can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.” 

HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit takes us to the Father and fills us with His power so that we can follow Him.  He is not a genie.  He does not operate at our command.  He is God.  The Indwelling Holy God who is in us and equipping us to follow the Lord.

HELL

Jesus has conquered hell.  He is the victor and the fight has been won.  Today we are participants in the last throes of the dying kingdom of the evil one and he will do anything to hurt us.  Jesus is Lord and He will protect us.  Jesus is Lord and we belong to Him.

HARD

Real life is hard.  It is hard every day.  Everyone has a hard time.  Turn to Jesus.  He will stand with you through the hard times and take you home to our ABBA-God when you pass from this life.  Jesus is Lord.  The Holy Spirit fills us with the power of the Triune God.  We have everything we need for life and life eternal in Jesus Christ.

TRUTH

Jesus is the truth.  He shares divine truth with us.  Life here on Earth is passing away much more quickly than we realize.  Eternal life begins when you accept Jesus.  It is while we are here on Earth and when we pass into eternity.  We have life like God’s life.  Jesus is Lord.
