You can get advice from people who are having all the same problems you are; you can listen to people who don’t know any more than you do about solving them. Nicodemus was smart; he looked for someone who knew what they were talking about; people frequently don’t do that. He saw that Jesus knew because He was different. He understood that no one could perform the miraculous signs He was doing if God were not with him.

Like the billions of people currently on this planet, Nicodemus had seen Jesus help all kinds of people with some of the worst problems he had ever seen. In some very evil countries, Christians are being killed, if they don’t denounce Jesus. Thousands of them have refused to save their own lives by denouncing Him. Why? Because they know Jesus made this universe; and they know He made them. They know Jesus has the power to solve those things that aren’t working for you.

Suppose you had a lot of money and were looking for a bank to put it in. What would be the main thing you would want to know? Could you trust them? That is the same issue you are dealing with about your life. It is the only life you have. Who can you trust to help you make the best of it? Nicodemus was trying to see if Jesus was someone he could trust; that is what you are doing. That is good; because, your prayers are opening the door for Jesus to be able to work miracles in your life. As you keep praying these prayers, you keep inviting Him in to your situation.

In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. Before Nicodemus could ask Jesus his first question, Jesus answered the most important one. He needed to know, how does someone become a part of God’s Kingdom? Why do you need to ask that? What does God’s Kingdom and being born again have to do with the issues you are facing? The things that are messing up your finances, relationships, emotions, and physical condition, also mess up your access into God’s eternal Kingdom.

A lot of the rules and laws of the kingdom or nation where you were born are the same ones God has. They have to do with how you treat people. But, God is willing to empower you to live His laws. The world is only willing to fine you, punish you, or imprison you, if you break theirs. If you are born again, you come under the rules and laws of God’s Kingdom. When He empowers you to live His rules and laws, you live a life that is more than good enough to please the world.

There are people who have been miserable for years because of the policies and rules of the company they are working for. If they think that is their only option, they keep suffering. You have a better option. God’s Kingdom has laws, rules, and policies that make it possible for you to be free from financial, emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual problems. He is able to help you find the right job, the right attitudes toward life, the people you can trust, the health and healing you need, and the spiritual power to live better than you have ever lived before.
