Necessity of new birth:

Nicodemus went 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.

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.

Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be born again when he is old? Can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother, and be born?

Jesus said, Except a man be born of water and of SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of SPIRIT is Spirit.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Surely He will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,

no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.

For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in Him and He will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for Him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

“Early in the morning, as He was on his way back to the city, He was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said to it,
“May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.

When the disciples saw this, they were amazed.
“How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:18-22

"CHRIST HAS NO BODY NOW BUT YOURS. NO HANDS, NO FEET ON EARTH

BUT YOURS. YOURS ARE THE EYES THROUGH WHICH HE LOOKS

COMPASSION ON THIS WORLD. YOURS ARE THE FEET WITH WHICH HE

WALKS TO DO GOOD. YOURS ARE THE HANDS THROUGH WHICH HE BLESSES

ALL THE WORLD. YOURS ARE THE HANDS, YOURS ARE THE FEET, YOURS ARE THE EYES,

YOU ARE HIS BODY. CHRIST HAS NO BODY NOW ON EARTH BUT YOURS"

Delight yourself in the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all those things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33

Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when

the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied,

"The kingdom of God does not come with your careful

observation, nor will people say 'here it is' or 'There

it is' BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.

Luke 17:20,21

The great spiritual geniuses,

whether it was Moses,

Buddha, Plato, Socrates,

Jesus, or Emerson,

have taught man to look

WITHIN HIMSELF TO FIND GOD.
