(English) In this message Ps Adrian talks about finding your fig tree.

(Matthew 5:8 NIV) Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.


(Matthew 5:8 PHILLIPS) “Happy are the utterly sincere, for they will see God!


(James 4:8 NLT) Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.


(John 1:43-46 TPT) The next day Jesus decided to go to the region of Galilee. There he found Philip and said to him, “Come and follow me.” (44) (Now Philip, Andrew, and Peter were all from the same village of Bethsaida.) (45) Then Philip went to look for his friend, Nathanael, and told him, “We’ve found him! We’ve found the One we’ve been waiting for! It’s Jesus, son of Joseph from Nazareth, the Anointed One! He’s the One that Moses and the prophets prophesied would come!” (46) Nathanael sneered, “Nazareth! What good thing could ever come from Nazareth?” Philip answered, “Come and let’s find out!”


(John 1:47-48 TPT)When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said, “Now here comes a true son of Israel—an honest man with no hidden Motive!” (48) Nathanael was stunned and said, “But you’ve never met me—how do you know anything about me?” Jesus answered, “Nathanael, right before Philip came to you I saw you sitting under the shade of a fig tree.”


(Matthew 6:5-6 NLT) “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.


(John 1:49 TPT) Nathanael blurted out, “Teacher, you are truly the Son of God and the King of Israel!”


(John 1:50-51 TPT) Jesus answered, “Do you believe simply because I told you I saw you sitting under a fig tree? You will experience even more impressive things than that! I prophesy to you eternal truth: From now on you will see an open heaven and gaze upon the Son of Man like a stairway reaching into the sky with the messengers of God climbing up and down upon him!”
