Seven Signs that Inspire Faith in Jesus
“Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:30-31 WEB)
Whenever you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, you receive a fresh infusion of life.
The word for “life” in Greek is “zóé” which can refer to both physical and spiritual life.
In other words, when you have faith in Jesus the Son of God who was sent by Abba God to be the atoning sacrifice for your sins, you are receiving more life.
Aging, weakness, sickness and ugliness are all manifestations of death.
The opposite of death is life. So when you have faith in Jesus, you’re actually becoming younger, stronger, healthier and more physically beautiful.
There’s something special about the signs (miracles) recorded in the Gospel of John that inspires faith.
Some foods are good for you, but some foods, such as blueberries, are classified as “superfoods” because they are extra rich in vitamins and antioxidants. All of God’s word is good for you, but some portions of Scripture are like superfoods.
There’s only seven signs in the Gospel of John, and they are:
1. Changing water into wine at Cana in John 2:1-11 - "the first of the signs"
2. Healing the nobleman’s son in Capernaum in John 4:46-54
3. Healing the paralytic at Bethesda in John 5:1-15
4. Feeding the 5000 in John 6:5-14
5. Jesus walking on water in John 6:16-24
6. Healing the man blind from birth in John 9:1-7
7. The raising of Lazarus in John 11:1-45
Anytime you need to cast out unbelief so that you can be in faith, consider re-visiting any one of these miraculous signs that speaks to your situation.
These are only called “signs” in John’s Gospel. Signs point to something, and in this case, they point to Jesus being the Christ and Son of God.
Let these signs usher you into faith—you’ll become younger and younger as a result!
Prayer of the Day:
I praise you Lord Jesus, that every time I place my faith in you, I receive more life into all areas of my life. You’re so good and your grace endures forever! Amen.
Join me on a 31-day journey to discover God’s youth renewal promises for every believer. You can turn back the effects of time and see a younger, stronger, healthier, and more beautiful you. Get “Younger and Younger” here: https://bit.ly/younger-and-younger

Be like a cactus!
I saw an inward picture of a cactus, standing strong in a desert.
Did you know that a cactus is able to have normal leaves, but they adapt with spines (modified leaves) in the desert to minimize water loss?
It also performs transpiration at night to reduce water loss.
Cacti are classified as “succulents” because they have thickened, fleshy parts to store more water.
Cacti have an extensive root system that don’t go very deep into the ground because most of the groundwater is on the upper layers due to rain. There are hardly any underground stores of water in the desert.
In a hot desert, most plants cannot survive the harsh, dry climate, but a cactus is able to survive and thrive.
It is adaptable, absorbent, attractive (can produce flowers), and able-bodied (the spines fend off predators). Truly an amazing plant that can live where most creatures cannot.
If we look at the cactus as ourselves, water as the water of God’s word, and the hot desert as this world, then we will understand this faith picture that God has for us.
God wants us to store up water and retain it efficiently just like a cactus. A cactus is designed to maximize water gain and minimize water loss.
In this world that prides itself on its own knowledge, rejecting the kingship of God, we must be like a cactus that finds every opportunity to receive God’s word.
You can retain it better when you meditate on His word. Keep it in your heart, and think about it often. This way, you will take in more, and lose less of it.
“They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough. When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child. All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.” (Luke 2:16-19 WEB)
Mary did exactly this. When others heard the good news about Jesus, they only wondered at it, but Mary kept these sayings, pondering them in her heart. She was like a cactus and retained the water.
“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.” (Psalms 91:7 WEB)
“For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:8 WEB)
In a desert whereby living creatures who cannot adapt just die of thirst and starvation, you will not. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. You shall not even fear the heat when it comes because you are full of God’s word, unceasingly fruitful in every season!

Rainy days call for a cozy bowl of pumpkin soup with clam broth, and Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. Surprisingly, the dark chocolate sourdough bread from @yi_jin_bread goes really well with the soup!🍫

Fun fact: did you know that pumpkin is classified as fruit, not vegetable? Because it contains seeds. Moreover, as you can tell by its color, orange, pumpkin is very high in beta-carotene, a carotenoid that your body turns into vitamin A.

Kawasaki, and Zettozettoarl) manufactures by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in 2006, and is a large-scale automatic ..ZZR1400 (.. two-wheeled vehicle of the ZZR series of four strokes 1352cc (motorcycle) for the export market that sells it. The North America specification is named ZX-14.
Outline
It is a model that becomes the succession of ZZR1200 and ZX-12R. It was developed aiming at a car at the velocity of the world on the market as well as ZZR1100 and ZX-12R that took the strongest name. It is classified from there is ABS specification car while ZX-12R's introducing oneself highest super-sports in the 20th century and having appeared, too into mega-sports with the sea bass and the GSX1300R falcon, etc. in a Japanese market. It is classified into super-sports in the North America market.
Four 1352cc water-cooled parallel cylinder engine is installed in a newly developed monocoque frame. The first restyling in the expression is done for 08 years and three Euro restrictions are clear. The power-up was done to 180ps→190ps as for a Malaysian specification that max power was reimported now and circulated to 190ps→193ps chiefly in Japan in North America and a European specification, too. Moreover, the setting has been reviewed for 08 years in the expression though it was an engine output characteristic with a slow response to open times of the accelerator of the low rotation. All with catalyst.
Background of the development
Kawasaki turns on ZX-12R to recapture the seat of the velocity machine lost by the appearance of HONDA CBR1100XX super-blackbird and sea bass GSX1300R falcon in 2000. ZZR prepares ZZR1200 that changes the route to Zarah inclined to it according to restyling, and takes the system of two the top. However, the speed limiter of 300 km/h restriction is standardized worldwide than 2001, and the significance of existence of No.1 in the velocity machine category has been lost. Moreover, there was the one with loud voice to request a legitimate succession model of ZZR1100 to make an overwhelming performance united to a comfortable high-speed cruise. Feature in which Haispedotsarar and ZZR1400 of combatted form that threw away mildness of the strongest spec in the world and ZZR1200 to answer this in 2006 are put on the market
There is a user who feels the getting on easiness in low speed and the low rotation not have power, too. It seems that engine with a difficult treatment and "Difficult machine" a little an initial type of ZX-12R also influence. The engine characteristic of the GP machine heirloom to which the engine brake doesn't hang so much makes the high rotation keep gentler in the user who uses the power band regularly.
