17 March Truly, truly, I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. John 16:23. If you don’t want to pray until you know and feel that you are worthy and qualified, you then must never pray, for our prayer must never be based upon our […]

16 March We know that the Law is spiritual. Romans 7:14. God’s commandment calls not only for outward essence and appearance, rather it grabs into the heart and requires perfect obedience of it. Therefore it also not only requires of a person external change and conduct, but also internal change from the bottom of one’s heart; however

15 March In the days of His flesh He with strong cries and tears offered up prayers and pleas to Him Who could save Him from death, and also was heard because He held God in high esteem. Hebrews 5:7. We should comfort ourselves with such suffering and prayer. For just as He suffered, He also prayed, not only

14 March It is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and discard the intelligence of the intelligent. 1 Corinthians 1:19. If you want to know what is just and unjust before God, the Holy Spirit’s conclusion and judgment is this: Everything that reason judges before God is flesh and blood and is worthless. Everything that is innate

13 March Away with this One (Jesus), and gives us Barabbas free. Luke 23:18. Thus it wanted to go, thus it went and thus it still goes all the time. For that is the world’s custom and way of doing things. For the more noble the treasure and goods are, the more hostile the world and the

12 March He was wounded for our transgressions and crushed for our sins. Isaiah 53:5. Here you see the strict and unchangeable seriousness of God over sin and sinners, in that He also did not want to spare His only, most dearly beloved Son, unless he made the heavy propitiatory atonement for sinners. What will the

11 March Judge for yourselves whether it is right for us to listen more to you than to God. We indeed cannot allow that we should not tell what we have seen and heard. Acts 4:19-20 We probably still could suffer it if in a case of emergency we had to be robbed of our temporal goods,

10 March This most certainly is a true and precious, trustworthy statement, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1 Timothy 1:15. So remember now to arm yourself with diligence, so that you at all times are equipped, not just only when you apart from the external challenges or tribulations are at peace with your

9 March I am going away. John 8:21. That’s frightening if He goes away, for He takes with Him everlasting life and salvation, and everything that God wants to give to those who are His, and He leaves behind death, devil, sin and every misfortune. One can see such among the Jews. Among the Turks He has also

8 March Those who belong to Christ, they crucify their flesh along with its lusts and desires. Galatians 5:24. Dear human being, if you wish to obtain the piety which avails before God, you must completely and totally give yourself over to Christ and accept Him for yourself, so that everything that was His is now
