Born of the Spirit

Born of the Spirit … Holy Spirit that is God…that is the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)

2 Corinthians 3:16-18
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

During an anointed meeting God was “breathing” His Word which is His Spirit and Life, into Your Soul...quickening you…raising you.  Just like when God formed Adam in His image and He breathed His Spirit, His breath, His Word … His Life into that soul and it became a living soul.

John 1 begins with saying “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was Life; and the life was the light of men.

So God breathed His Word… His Breath… His Will into that soul and it became a living soul… male and female He made them.

Then when Adam disobeyed God, death entered in and the spirit of death ruled in his soul rather than life.  Yet God was still over all things, but could not continue to allow Adam to stay in that perfect place, paradise, garden, kingdom where Adam could have perfect communion with God.  So Adam was sent out of the garden of God to labor and dwell in a place of the curse and struggle…. And we know the rest of the story.

Now Jesus Christ, God’s Word, God’s Will of Salvation is come to us to deliver us and restore all souls who will receive His Word.  Every soul can be redeemed back into that Garden of God, that place of rest and no lack.

Continue allowing the Lord to “breathe” His Word, which is Jesus Christ, into your soul, and cause an awakening of your soul unto His righteousness and life, which is now …. In you … and you in Him.

Born of His Spirit and Life … Water and Spirit... John 3:3-5

John 3:3-8
v3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

v5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Jesus was telling them that they must be born naturally, and must be born spiritually by the Holy Spirit who is God, our heavenly Father.  Jesus was not telling them that they must be water baptized….not in this passage of scripture.  Here in John 3:3 and 5 Jesus is talking of the natural birth and the spiritual birth.  Yet being born of God does involve baptism.

Being born of the Spirit of God… John 1:33 states that John was sent to baptize with water and God told him that…. “Upon whom thou shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.” 

Baptism and being Born of the Spirit go hand in hand.  Jesus Christ baptizes each soul as that Word of Truth is spoken and heard, believed and received… and the soul is sealed by the inhabitation of the Spirit of God.   This Spirit is the Power to cause you to become sons of God.  You have received that Seed of Promise and the birthing of His Divine Nature is coming forth in the image of His only begotten Son… being made known in you… and then through you. 

Here are a few scriptures to confirm:
John 1:12-14
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  And the Word was made flesh, …

Ephesians 1:13-14
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Ephesians 5:26-27
That he (Christ) might sanctify and cleanse it (church His body) with the washing of water by the word.
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

1 Peter 1:22-23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

2 Peter 1:3-4 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Now the Lord has apprehended you…to bring you into the Father: Eternal Life.  Back to that place once known as the Garden of God where there is no lack and you can rest and have perfect communion with God in His love and blessings.  Of course, there is much more that could be said on this, but just continue to press in to His Kingdom through His Son Jesus Christ…. Eating of His body and drinking of His blood…. And experience your New Divine Life in Jesus Christ, having been born of God.

Amen.
