highlighted James 5:13-16 NLT
Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

highlighted Mark 10:17-27 NLT
As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.’” “Teacher,” the man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!” This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God. In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked. Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”

highlighted Mark 13:1-13 NASB
"aThe gospel must first be preached to all the nations."aWhen they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit."Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death."aYou will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.aAs He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? aNot one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down."As He was sitting on athe Mount of Olives opposite the temple, bPeter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately,"Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?"And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you."Many will come in My name, saying, 'aI am He!' and will mislead many."When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end."For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs."But be on your guard; for they will adeliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged ain the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.

For athe flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, bso that you may not do the things that you please.But if you are aled by the Spirit, byou are not under the Law.Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: aimmorality, impurity, sensuality,idolatry, asorcery, enmities, bstrife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, cdisputes, dissensions, dfactions,envying, adrunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not binherit the kingdom of God.But athe fruit of the Spirit is blove, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, aself-control; against such things bthere is no law.Now those who belong to aChrist Jesus have bcrucified the flesh with its passions and cdesires.If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk aby the Spirit.
