Mary BELIEVED Gods word spoken by the angel that she would have a baby and at that very moment she became pregnant. If Mary BELIEVED that God was only joking(lying) she would never be pregnant. I BELIEVE the bible is THE WORD of God. It is written in Revelation 19: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called THE WORD of God.
It is written in John 1: And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us? When THE WORD (Jesus) dwelt on the earth he said to Nicodemus: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God and Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. What must I BELIEVE or DO to be BORN AGAIN. Satan was not born of water.
I BELEVE the gospel : For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our(MY) sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
I BELIEVE THE WORD in Romans 8 that said : But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. I want to be BORN AGAIN or born of the Spirit. You and I receive by BELIEVING something.
It is written in Isaiah 53: All we(including infants) like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him(Jesus) the iniquity of us all and There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Have you ever watched an infant throw a tantrum. Perfect example of baby with his own will or way. The baby?s will want something he can?t get his way and then throws a tantrum on the floor.
John the Baptist was the only human baby that was filled with the Holy Spirit from birth. When Mary who was pregnant with THE WORD (Jesus) touched Elizabeth, the unborn baby (John) was filled with the Holy Spirit. John the Babtist was the only human baby that did Gods will: John stayed in the wilderness untill it was time to preach. In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ...because He was filled with the Holy Spirit from birth.
THE WORD (Jesus) came to the earth to do His Fathers will not His own will. It is Gods will that all flesh should be filled with His Holy Spirit. King Saul was wicked but when the Holy Spirit came over him temporarily he began to prophecy (God?s will). When the Holy Spirit left King Saul he turned to his own way. He did not seek God. He seeketh the help of a medium. The witch of Endor.
I live in South Africa and the president, Jacob Zuma, BELIEVE that when you have sexual intercourse with HIV infected girl you shower afterwards and you will not get aids. The water from the shower will cleanse you from aids. If Jacob Zuma BELIEVE wrong his actions deeds will be wrong. Black men BELIEVE that when you have aids you have sexual intercourse with a virgin and you will be cured of aids. They will never stop raping virgins because they BELIEVE wrong. Prophet Kobus van Rensburg from South Africa BELIEVED that he was immortal and that the Holy Spirit will quicken his mortal body and he BELIEVED that he would live passed 120 years of age. Today he is in the grave and has not risen since. If you BELIEVE wrong your actions deeds will be wrong.
