Can You Hear God's Secrets?

Jesus said:

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

John 3:6

Did you know that your body is not the real you? The real you is the part of you that will live forever. We call it your spirit. Your body is something you live in while you're here on earth.

God is spirit too, and Jesus. Jesus was with God before He was born as a baby in the manger. Jesus' spirit came to earth into a body so He could walk and talk with the people here on earth and then die for our sins.

Before your spirit came into your body, God knew you and loved you. He decided He wanted you in His family a long, long time ago--before the earth was even made!


The way you get into God's family is not by being born in your body, like you did in your earthly family, but to be born-again in your spirit. This means that you ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. Once you do that then your spirit will live forever with God in heaven!

While you are here on earth, God wants to talk to you. He has always talked to people and He had some people write down His words in a book. That book is called the Bible. You can read the Bible and listen to God talking to you from those words.

God will also talk to you from His Spirit to your spirit. This way it doesn't usually go through the ears of your body, but right to your spirit. It's very exciting to hear God speak to you!

Be careful though, because the devil can try and talk to you too. He will try and talk to your spirit just like God does. But the more you know God's voice the easier it will be to tell the difference between God and the devil. The more you read the Bible, the better you will know God's voice.

God has secrets He wants to tell you! He loves you very much and can't wait to tell you things. He wants you to talk to Him too. When we talk to God, that is what we call prayer.

When you get to know God, you will have more peace in your life than you've ever had before. The better you get to know Him, the more peace you will have.

If you have never asked Jesus into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, then all you have to do is ask Him now and He will come and you can start living as a child in God's great big, beautiful family!

The Wind Listens to Jesus!

"Let us go over to the other side."

Mark 4:35

One day, Jesus planned to take His disciples into a boat and go to the other side of the sea. He said, "Let us go over to the other side." Jesus' words are very powerful, and if He says we are going to do something then we are going to do it!

His disciples must have forgot how powerful Jesus' words are because they became afraid when a strong wind started blowing and made great big waves. The waves were pounding against the boat and it was starting to fill up with water! The disciples were very afraid and woke Jesus up. He had been sleeping this whole time! Jesus was not afraid. He knew they were going to the other side of the sea.

When Jesus woke up, He asked them why they were so afraid. Why did they not have any faith? He spoke to the wind and told it to be quiet and still. Do you know what happened? The wind did what He said! It became perfectly calm. Jesus' words will not only keep you safe, but will keep you from being afraid too if you will believe Him.

This story is in Matthew 8:23-27 and Mark 4:35-41
