Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. (Proverbs 20:11)

 When I was much younger, attending grammar school, I was advised to stay away from certain children. This seemed to be an odd request and was not so easy to be understood by an eight year old boy. However, as time went by, it became very easy to see why I was given this advice and kept my distance.


It's not so much what we say that speaks loudest; but what we do! The voice of our doings not only carries weight in this world, but before the very throne of Almighty God himself. The choice is yours. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." (Revelation 20:12)

And the men which journeyed with him (Saul) stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. (Acts 9:7)

What a marvelous word we have here. Full of insight and revelation. Think about it. One man (Saul) was seeing, hearing and conversing with Jesus; while the others were only hearing a voice. Unable to converse, they were left without a personal touch; not knowing who it was that was speaking. Seeing nothing only enhanced the mystery they were experiencing.

How could this be? Is God so great that people can be gathered in the same room, elbow to elbow, yet one person will see visions from heaven, hear the sweet voice of Jesus, converse with the creator; while others will only hear words. I am fully persuaded that our gathering in Father's house this morning will proclaim this: those that seek Jesus will find him, while all others will only hear words.

Remarkable you may say. Challenging to the mind. After all didn't Jesus say that Father is a God of the heart? Judge for yourself; and love the Lord your God with all your heart........ and so on.

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered and said unto him, "Art thoua master of Israel, and knowest not these things? If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" (John 3:9,10,12)

Oh yes, Jesus! Not like any other man. Heavenly originated, earthly manifested, divinely orchestrated, eternally purposed and certainly life changing. "If I have told you earthly things." Here Jesus was  enlightning all of us to the fact that there are heavenly things and earthly things. These earthly things may not be the ones you or I might think them to be. Jesus was reinforcing with Nicodemusthe element of being born again; God's operation in the natural or earthly realm to reveal himself not only as the creator, but a Father. This as a result of the precarious death Jesus would suffer on the cross. Ushering into our soul the existence of a resurrected life to be lived in this our natural earthly body.

Nicodemus's question was on these lines, "How can these things be?" Perhaps there are some asking similar questions today concerning other teachings Jesus enforced; such as: greater works, all things are possible, as I was in the world so shall ye be in the world, I ascend to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God, andye shall receive the Holy Ghost and so on. These are only some of the earthly things between you and your Creator. So then what about heavenly things? How well does the architect of our soul know us!
