MATTHEW 24:12
BECAUSE LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND
On His final visit to Jerusalem, after the triumphal entry, Jesus faced mounting challenges from religious leaders. They questioned Him on authority, taxation, the resurrection, and the greatest commandment. Then came something profound: He pronounced woes upon them, expressing deep grief and regret as He lamented over Jerusalem itself.
From there, His focus shifted to what lay ahead. He began predicting Jerusalem's destruction and revealed the signs that would herald the end of the age. His disciples pressed Him with one piercing question: "When will these things be?"
Jesus painted a vivid picture. Deceivers would emerge, claiming "He is here" or "there," but warned—this was not yet the end. Wars and rumors of wars would erupt. Nations would rise against nations, kingdoms against kingdoms. Famines, pestilences, earthquakes—all indicators of the beginning of sorrows.
As a Spiritually Minded Believer, we can clearly see these things unfolding now. People growing easily offended. Christians facing hatred in nearly every nation. Friends betraying friends. We witness this in today's world across every culture.
But when love grows cold, when common decency ceases to be common, when lawlessness abounds—then comes the final marker: His gospel will be preached throughout the entire world. And then, the end will come.

MATTHEW 19:28
THAT IN THE REGENERATION
As a Spiritually Minded Believer, when we read the gospel according to Matthew, we must always keep in mind that Matthew was a Jew and he was writing to Jews, so when we study the story of the rich young ruler that questioned Jesus saying, "What must I do in order to obtain eternal life"? it will help us understand that we, ourselves, cannot DO anything except choose to believe! Jesus told him to keep the commandments and he asked, "which ones"! ALL OF THEM! And he claimed that he was keeping them all!
Jesus changes his question from obtaining eternal life to being perfect, but this distressed him so much that he went away sad because he loved his stuff! Then the disciples began to wonder if anyone could be saved! Jesus assured them that with God all things are possible! Peter asked Him, "what shall we have?"
Then Jesus began to unfold the plan of eternity that God had shared with Him, letting them know "that in the regeneration", the resurrecting of their mortal bodies into their glorified bodies, that they would sit as judges of the nation of Israel! Whoever had left all of their personal belongings to follow Him would, indeed, receive much more, and then eternal life! Hallelujah!

2ND KINGS 7:4
WE SHALL ONLY DIE
When a Spiritually Minded Believer reads the account of the exploits of Elisha, the prophet of God, they should plainly see that God is for His people and not against them—EVER!!!
In these chapters of 2nd Kings, we learn of a severe famine in Samaria—one so dire that the people had resorted to extreme measures seeking relief. With almost every bite of food consumed, the prophet Elisha declared that the famine would end suddenly. In about 24 hours, he promised, there would be an abundance of food, enough for everyone to have plenty!
However, a high-ranking official in the king's court began to doubt and questioned the Man of God. When the unbelieving hear that God is about to move, they will often cast fear and doubt, attempting to steal away interest from the good thing God is about to perform.
Meanwhile, four outcasts—lepers, to be precise—sat outside the city's main gate. They decided to surrender to the invaders who had cut off their supplies and caused the famine. Either way, they figured, we shall only die. But upon entering the enemy's camp, they discovered it was vacant yet fully stocked with supplies.
That is just like my God—to prepare a table for us in the presence of our enemies!

MATTHEW 18:3
UNLESS YOU ARE CONVERTED AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN
In the Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 18, we read that His disciples came to Him, asking about who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus answered them by calling a small child to Him, sitting with the child in the midst of them, and telling them that if they did not change their way of thinking and begin to fully trust Him and what He taught, they would not even enter into the Kingdom of Heaven! If they would humble themselves and be like little children, full of awe and wonder, they would be the greatest in the Kingdom!
As a Spiritually Minded Believer, we believe without question; we trust without question! Have you ever noticed, while raising children, that around 4 years of age children begin to question everything? If you tell or show them something they begin asking "Why?". They are not asking for a detailed explanation of the inner workings of a complicated issue or even for the finer details of a certain topic. They are simply asking about basic information, so you keep it simple, in terms they can readily understand. A loving parent should never say "because I said so, that's why!"
We must always remember that Holy Spirit is our guide. As we learn to follow Jesus, He will lead us into all truth. He will instruct us as to what to say and how to best represent the Kingdom we have been entrusted to enforce! Little children follow their guide gladly without being unruly or disobedient.
