3:1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling
 council.

3:2 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from
 God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."

3:3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless
he is born again."

3:4 "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a
second time into his mother's womb to be born!"

3:5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he
is born of water and the Spirit.

3:6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

3:7 You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'

3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where
it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

John 5: 19
Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can
 do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the
Son also does.
John 5: 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your
amazement he will show him even greater things than these.

John 5:20 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives
life to whom he is pleased to give it.

John 5: 21& 21  Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does
 not honor the Father, who sent him.

I find this so cool. Nicodemus can see that even though Jesus is blackballed by his religious

community that God is working miracles through Him. Jesus tells him that
" no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again" You and I qualify for that.
We are born again and that
is how we are able to see what is going on in the kingdom. "God please open our spiritual eyes
 so that we too may see what you are doing in the kingdom" In John 5 19 Jesus further explains
 that "He can only do what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the
 Son
does also." He did not come independently of the Father but in perfect harmony He carried out
the father's will as Jesus will was in complete submission to the Father. " Father we your
 church must see what You are doing so as sons & daughters we too can do what You are
 doing in the earth today" 
  How can we truly do anything for the advancement of the kingdom without seeing what He is doing
and participating with Him in it. Independently from Him should be the farthest thing from our
mind no matter how great our intentions are. There are lots of people doing lots of good things
without having any idea what He is doing. Besides I want to spend time with Him knowing Him
 more & more and introduce Him to my friends who don't know Him either.
  I look at what Todd Bentley is leading in Florida now and can say like Nicodemus that these
miracles can't happen unless it's God doing them. Bless you God and what you are doing in
the revival in Lakeland Florida.
