Amen Marilyn. I echo this prayer. Happy Sabbath to you too my sister.

Amen

Anen this is my prayer too Sis Marilynm

Amen! I echo that prayer too, dear Father!!

Happy Sabbath sister Fletcher. My prayer too.

Happy Sabbath family. Prayers are sought for healing of my children who have a persistent cold lasting a few days now.
As I have shared before children came to us through foster care. We would love to be chosen as their forever family, as they are bonded to us our family and church family. However at this time all signs point to returning their biological mother, which is the primary goal in fostering. I ask for your prayers for them as they start to transition back to their bio mom.

Praying for all of you.

Praying for you, the kids, and their mom.

My prayrs are with you.

I pray the Lord will make the transition smooth for the children and their mother.

I have prayed for the children and for you as the children transition back to the home of their mother. I also pray that God will draw near to her so that she welcome them back, and put their needs ahead of her own.

Praying for your family for healing & guidance. Happy Sabbath.

Thank you Pastor Oliver,for your blog today I pray that not only our understanding will be opened but that we will humble ourselves and love and follow HIM for the rest of our lives. A pleasant and blessed sabbath to all my RBHW family.

Bro. Eddie it is true. There are s many times that we have received miracles and never knew.

True, Eddie. If it were not for His protection, many of us would not be here now. Thank You, Jesus for the things we see You do for us, but especially for the things we don't see.

True, Eddie. If it were not for His protection, many of us would not be here now. Thank You, Jesus for the things we see You do for us, but especially for the things we don't see.

Often, too often to think of. How often I have disappointed God but not seeing all the blessings he does for me. Open my eyes, Father, that I may see all the blessings you have prepared and given for me.

So true

Beautifully said and so powerful Pastor Oliver! With me are no resources but Jesus has the storehouse of heaven at His command and it is all for us! Oh fill us today Lord Jesus with Thyself!!

PRAYER REQUEST UPDATE:
A few weeks ago, I asked for prayers for my friend Waine who the doctors were running tests for, believing that he may have had cancer.
I come rejoicing this morning to report that our prayers have prayed it all away. His last test results came back with nothing there. Our God is so awesome and I thank Him for His healing hands of mercy.
Thank you all for your prayers. They have been answered.

Praise God, sis Jan!!

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord. Thank you for the praise report Sis. Jan. What a mighty God we serve!

Amen. Thank you, Lord.

I may have missed your prayer request. Praise God for healing your friend.

Amen, praise God. Thanks for the praise report.

Praise HIS Holy Name.

Amen Willie. In verses 3 - 5, we also see that when we are in need we should take our cases to Christ and be willing to do whatever he requires of us. Have a blessed Sabbath everyone.

Thanks for sharing. Happy sabbath!

See what the SOP has to say about John chapter 2: 2 (Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 2:51; 4:1-13). Between the Temptation of Christ and the Marriage at Cana—There was to be a marriage in Cana of Galilee.

We had many people at the first night of our evangelistic series. It was located at a local country club north of Corinth,MS near the Tennessee line. I am never weary of the Daniel 2 prophecy. It was instrumental in convincing me in the validity of God's word and of Jesus. Reading and understanding scripture is the basis for people believing in Jesus and being rooted and grounded in Him. I met many wonderful people who came to the meeting...

Where many other churches appeal to emotion (not knocking God-given emotion), our church understands that "...faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." Emotions can come and go, but a faith built on the solid rock of God's word will be consistent and strong when the storms come. It makes us active members of the body of Christ. We will not be "tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming."

This is alluded to in this chapter regarding the disciples remembering something Jesus had said. When the Jews asked Jesus for a sign to signify His authority, He said, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." Later, after the storm of the brutal crucifixion and the glorious resurrection of Jesus, they "remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the scripture and the word Jesus had said." My faith is built on nothing less that Jesus Christ and His righteousness. It is the word that provides the basis for my faith relationship in Jesus. Amen?

My prayer is that as our Evangelist, Joe Circliano, teaches from God's word that many will believe on Jesus. Lord bring revival to our hearts and make us powerful for your kingdom.

Amen. Happy Sabbath to you and family Bro. Geoff.

NEW WINE and NEW TEMPLE

Brethren, in John 2, we see the introduction of Jesus to the world. He uses the wedding in Cana (vs 1-11) and the cleansing of the temple in Jerusalem.

1. New Wine (Jesus replaces the old wine with new wine!)
The miracle was for DISCIPLES - Wedding - a covenant between two parties - subsequently, Jesus wants a covenant experience with us, human beings.

In the first miracle, vs 3 - tells us that the party ran out of wine - Religion in Christ's day had ran out of 'wine'. The vessels were empty - to indicate the state of affairs, in people's hearts.

NEW WINE and NEW TEMPLE

Brethren, in John 2, we see the introduction of Jesus to the world. He uses the wedding in Cana (vs 1-11) and the cleansing of the temple in Jerusalem.

1. New Wine (Jesus replaces the old wine with new wine!)
The miracle was for DISCIPLES - Wedding - a covenant between two parties - subsequently, Jesus wants a covenant experience with us, human beings.

In the first miracle, vs 3 - tells us that the party ran out of wine - Religion in Christ's day had ran out of 'wine'. The vessels were empty - to indicate the state of affairs, in people's hearts.

Yet in vs 4, Christ had to make some clarifications: "My hour has not yet come" - Man will not have any say in Christ's agenda. 7:6 - my time has not yet come... vs 30 - His hour had not yet come. 8:20 - His hour had not yet come. Christ was on a specific mission. John 12:27,28, capt 17 - the hour finally came.

The symbolic meaning behind vs 10 - Jesus keeps the best stuff till the end - bringing back life into religion. From the cold formal practices of the Jews during His day. To fresh sweet wine, rekindling the wedding party. vs 11 - Reminds us that the miracle was for the purpose of the disciples - and the disciples believed in Him.

2. Jesus in the temple (His purpose is to replace the physical temple with His own body)

vs 14 - People selling, money changers doing business. "The confusion is hushed. The sound of traffic and bargaining has ceased. The silence becomes painful. A sense of awe overpowers the assembly. It is as if they were arraigned before the tribunal of God to answer for their deeds. Looking upon Christ, they behold divinity flash through the garb of humanity. The Majesty of heaven stands as the Judge will stand at the last day,--not now encircled with the glory that will then attend Him, but with the same power to read the soul. His eye sweeps over the multitude, taking in every individual. His form seems to rise above them in commanding dignity, and a divine light illuminates His countenance. He speaks, and His clear, ringing voice--the same that upon Mount Sinai proclaimed the law that priests and rulers are transgressing--is heard echoing through the arches of the temple: "Take these things hence; make not My Father’s house an house of merchandise." {DA 158.1}

Slowly descending the steps, and raising the scourge of cords gathered up on entering the enclosure, He bids the bargaining company depart from the precincts of the temple. With a zeal and severity He has never before manifested, He overthrows the tables of the money-changers. The coin falls, ringing sharply upon the marble pavement. None presume to question His authority. None dare stop to gather up their ill-gotten gain. Jesus does not smite them with the whip of cords, but in His hand that simple scourge seems terrible as a flaming sword. Officers of the temple, speculating priests, brokers and cattle traders, with their sheep and oxen, rush from the place, with the one thought of escaping from the condemnation of His presence. {DA 158.2}

A panic sweeps over the multitude, who feel the overshadowing of His divinity. Cries of terror escape from hundreds of blanched lips. Even the disciples tremble. They are awestruck by the words and manner of Jesus, so unlike His usual demeanor. They remember that it is written of Him, "The zeal of Thine house hath eaten Me up." Ps. 69:9. Soon the tumultuous throng with their merchandise are far removed from the temple of the Lord. The courts are free from unholy traffic, and a deep silence and solemnity settles upon the scene of confusion. [BEGIN P.161] The presence of the Lord, that of old sanctified the mount, has now made sacred the temple reared in His honor. {DA 158.3}

In the cleansing of the temple, Jesus was announcing His mission as the Messiah, and entering upon His work." DA . 158

The business in the temple - was representative of how the Judaism was ripping off the people of their divine privileges.

Brethren, has your 'wine' lost its flavour or have you ran out of wine? vs 10 or does your temple stink? vs 19. Jesus is announcing new things, Jesus in this chapter announces RADICAL change. And He radically changed the course of humanity, though He probably never traveled beyond 150 Kms from His earthly home, and died at a meager 33 years.

This theme threads through the entire book of John - New wine and new temple.

God bless you this Sabbath day.

Jesus I open my heart to you today, I need the infilling of your Holy Spirit. Cleanse my body temple oh Lord and forgive me of my sins so that I may be renewed and be able to worship you today in spirit and in truth. Be with the RBHW family in a special way today. May we all experience a spirit filled Sabbath as we worship you in different parts of the world. In Jesus name, Amen.

Amen.

Amen!

Amen Pastor.

Amen, Pastor Derek. Today I totally and unreservedly surrender to obey the Word of God. Peace & Love

Amen

Thank you Willie for your comment. The Jews wanted a sign from Jesus and He gave His resurrection as a sign (see vs. 18-22). On another occasion when the Pharisees asked Him for a sign that He was the Messiah, He gave again His resurrection as the sign that proved His being the Messiah (see Matthew 12: 38-40).
That all the disciples except John laid down their lives because of their belief in the resurrection of Christ, being eye-witnesses, proves that it took place for no one would die for a lie. The greatest proof that Christ has defeated Satan is the resurrection. "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it" (Col. 2:15).
Since Christ has defeated Satan and He is alive, as a child of God, you are secure in a world Satan claims to be his own and he is ravaging, for Christ is with you. Just obey Him always!

Amen brother Onaolapo

Amen Pastor, the sooner we realize this is not own the better off we will..To tell you the truth brother I am feeling very uncomfortable down here,, because the heart of men are so desperately wicked someone could be laughing and eating with you while secretly planning your demise..Our only hope is in Christ the Solid Rock!

Thank you Brother Oliver. I need to surrender entirely and daily to God's will. Everyone have a superfantastic Sabbath day.

Thank you for expounding on the spiritual lessons in this chapter Willie. Possibly in the absence of Joseph, Mary was used to asking Jesus for help in certain situations and seeing a need at the wedding she turned to Him. Although she didn't understand what He was going to do, yet she trusted Him to help. The lesson for me is that when we ask Jesus for help we should submit and trusFjhn%2F2%2F&t_d=Revived%20by%20His%20Word%20-%20John%202&t_t=Revived%20by%20His%20Word%20-%20John%202&s_o=default#" data-action="share:twitter">Twitter
