Highlights:


Time mark: 5:24

John 20:30-31 KJV

Many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book, but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name.


Time mark: 6:59

When we're studying all of the books of the apostles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the Gospels, it's important that we take into consideration that these are historical recordings for us to believe and to know that Jesus walked this earth, and He was, and is, the Son of God.


Time mark: 7:21

John 1:35-42 KJV

Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples, and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!"

And the two disciples heard Him speak, and they followed Jesus.

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said unto them, "What seek ye?" They said unto Him, "Rabbi," which is to say, being interpreted, Master, "Where dwellest thou?"

He said unto them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, "We have found the Messias", which is, being interpreted, "the Christ".

And he brought him to Jesus, and when Jesus beheld him, he said, "Thou art Simon the son of Jona. Thou shalt be called Cephas", which is by interpretation, "a stone".


Time mark: 10:49

When you're doing God's work, when you've been charged when you've been given an assignment, you don't have time to play, you don't have time for people pulling on your spirit. You don't have time for people competing with you.

You need people that's going to look and say "I see the assignment on you. I see that God has called you to do a work. Let me get on board, let me recognize, and let me tune myself in and adjust myself to get the work done, to operate, to work with you and to respect the calling that has been placed on your life."


Time mark: 13:44

Sometimes we've got to sit down and be quiet and say "Lord, what is it that I need to glean and learn from this person?" We've always got to recognize this, especially when God puts his children, a man or a woman of God, a person who is after God's heart, when he puts you around them, when you have been placed around them, it's for a reason.

We are gifts to the body. We are gifts to this world. Brethren who have dedicated themselves, that are really holding up the blood stained banner, are gifts and such giftings need to be recognized.

Jesus went to some places and He had to get up out of there because He said He could touch only one or two people, and I have to go because they're not receiving Me here.


Time mark 17:31

Let's appreciate what God has given us. The gifts, the people that He has placed in our lives to be a blessing to us. Recognize the Spirit of God on the inside of them. Look at them. The Word says "Mark a good man. Mark a good woman." The only thing you have to do is watch. Look at their lives. When God puts real men and women in your life, those are gifts, cherish them. Honor who they are. Amen.
