In my closing of this series, remember to seek the kingdom of God first and all these things shall be added to you. Do not worry about:

  • Your Life
  • What you will eat
  • What you will drink
  • Not about your body
  • or what you will put on

Is not life more than food and the body and more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they?

With the love of God, our Creator and Father, I write whatever I am given from the Holy Spirit.

Love Always, Elder L. Smith

Entering into the Kingdom of God:

NEW BIRTH- John 3:1-8

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

GRANTED- Revelations 3:21 “And I bestow upon you a Kingdom, just as my Father bestowed upon me.”
