Mt 12:25-29; But he knew what they were thinking and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and no town or house divided against itself will stand. And if Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand? And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own People drive them out? Therefore they will be you judges. But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, the the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Jesus’s statement in Mt 12:25-29 has to do with how he understands the Kingdom of Heaven. He says that a kingdom divided against itself shall be laid waste, and even the children would not be safe. Jesus is saying that if there are two kings fighting for power, then they are both weak.

This passage teaches us that Jesus knows what people are thinking before they even say it. This is because he sees them as they really are deep within their soul, and he knows what lies within them.

Jesus loves me. Say it out loud.

Say it again Jesus loves me.


You are never alone. God Bless Brother Philip

John 3:5 Jesus answered "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit." In John 3:5 Jesus answers the question of Nicodemus, a religious leader and teacher of Israel, about how to be born again. He answers "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit." This passage is often interpreted as meaning that baptism is required for salvation. This interpretation is not universal to all Christian denominations. Some believe that it means that without baptism you cannot enter into the church. While others believe it means just what Jesus said: birth from water and Spirit are necessary conditions for entering into the kingdom of God. John 3:5 has always been an important Bible verse for Christians. This is because it clearly establishes the requirement to enter the Kingdom of God.
