The Snake

Once there was a snake. But the snake was in prison. On the day when she was released, the snake decided to become a better person and went therefore to school. As the years passed by, the snake managed to master all grades and finished school as one of the best pupils ever. Her next step seemed to be clear: college – and since the snake improved and developed many skills, even her next step, to go to university, was crystal clear and definite. At university she signed up for many courses, improved again, wrote essays, and articles and published them with great success. Her friends and colleagues, the lecturers and professors admired her, applauded with great appreciation to all what she did. She was the star at the graduation party and after her speech the people applauded again: with standing ovations was she celebrated. As she came down the stage, a crowd was gathered already to congratulate. But as one of her admirers stepped on her tail while she was passing by, she turned and bit him in his calf and he died on the spot. Someone called the police. They took her, dragged her back to court and afterward again to prison; for a snake is a snake and will always stay a snake.

Jesus answered, “Verily, verily I say unto thee, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3, 5.6

For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God – not by works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath beforehand ordained, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2, 8-10

 

Dew unto Israel

Birmingham, United Kingdom 29th March 2007

While praying in a church in Birmingham God showed me this word from Hosea 14, 5 saying,

“I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.”
