Today we’re in John 2, and we’re leaning into verse 5. The moment where Jesus turns water into wine is powerful, but what stood out is Mary’s response. She sees the need and tells the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
So often we wait for a miracle to find us. We wait for something supernatural to drop into our lap. But in this story, the miracle came through partnership and obedience.
Instead of waiting, Mary leaned in. She listened. She responded. And she partnered with Jesus.
As we continue these 21 days, let’s do the same. Lean in. Listen for His voice. Ask yourself, What is He asking me to do? Where is He guiding me?
Miracles often happen when we partner with Him and step into obedience.
Day 1 of our 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting starts now Let's go, Image family.
“The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and you will see.”
John 1:35-39
Jesus says, “Come and see.”
That’s the heart of God. Come close. Come spend time. Come be with Me.
As we step into these 21 days, don’t just aim at giving something up. Aim at a conversation with God. Come with a question. Come with expectation. Believe that God wants to speak to your story, your situation, and maybe even lead you into something new.
Let’s lean in together.
The Christmas story showcases God's grace toward us, entering our world while we were building one without Him, and Him keeping His covenant even when His people break theirs. On Christmas, God let humanity see what He is really like, He let His glory be accessible to us.

We often form ideas of God to fit our needs and desires that fall woefully short of who God really is. During the time of Christ's birth, God exposed and challenged some of these small ideas of Him, and revealed His true purpose and desire for all creation.

Jesus often displayed values that are counter to the culture of the world, but showed God's priorities and heart. He emphasized people over traditions, being present with Him over performing something for Him, and exemplified true generosity.

When we believed in Jesus as Messiah and God, He marked us as His people by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, who is like a deposit giving a taste of the future world God had promised His people, and an assurance that He will be with us as Lord of our lives.

In Ephesians it mentions "the heavenlies". What is meant by it, and how does it differ from Heaven itself? And why are rulers, authorities and evil spiritual forces also located in the "heavenlies"?

As shown by the Ephesians, often we may know the stories of the Bible, but don't know the why. Apostle Paul explained that all these Biblical writings point to Jesus. And that we are called, not to know the history or events of the Old Testament, but to follow Jesus.
