MYSTERY BORN AGAIN
This lifelong mystery of the Born Again Experience began at the very young age of between 7 to 9 years of age, when a young neighbor friend invited me to go to church with him. I was invited to come to the altar to receive Christ as my personal Savior. I was told that Jesus Christ shed His Sinless Blood that I might be born again to have eternal life, which caused many questions to come to my curious mind. Questions such as:
What did it mean? What happened that I needed to be saved? Why did blood have to be shed? Who was this Jesus that supposedly had sinless blood that qualified Him and no one else? Above all, how would this act, even if all true, affect my life as I was not connected to any of the events or people involved. Only believing these things for eternal life did not satisfy my curiosity. How could this be? How could just believing completely change my natural life and grant me eternal life? My natural mind had no answers.
Many years later, I discovered that to have answers for spiritual questions, you need to probe into spiritual understanding, of which I never had until I was genuinely Born Again, of which the opening of understanding became limitless. This came by ‘Only Believing’ making it even more interesting. Being Born Again and experiencing a complete new creation of life blossoming inside of me changed all my desires and created a never ending obsession of experiencing Jesus’ personal fellowship, leading, guiding, and comforting me every day of my life. Through all my life changing experiences and revelations, I am still amazed by the Mystery of the Born Again Phenomena and how it takes place. After all, how do you explain a miracle birth from the Spiritual Realm? The more I learn, the more I realize I need to learn. We will never achieve completion in learning of God and His Supernatural Life.
My prayer is this writing will help draw others, who are wanting a deeper, intimate relationship far greater than an intellectual one, with our Lord and Savior. Some may have some of the same questions as I had. My desire is a genuine fellowship with our Loving Lord revealing His great love for us.
The first reality in this discussion is the fact that the only eternal life that exists is found in the Person of God. Yes, He is a Person. Being separated from the Person of God alienates you from His Eternal Life. Scripture informs us of the events that separated us from God in the Garden of Eden, and how man has searched for a way back to God ever since.
(1)
This separation began when Lucifer, God’s created high ranking angel, waged war in an attempted takeover in heaven, and separated himself from his creator, God.
Revelation 12:7-9
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
He led a rebellion consisting of one third of Gods’ angels that he deceived into following him against God and His Kingdom.
Revelation 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,and did cast them to the earth…
The prophet Isaiah clearly shows Satan’s agenda to overthrow God’s Kingdom.
Isaiah 14:12-14
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!
For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the clouds; I will be like the most High.
The war that began in heaven was now to be continued on earth. The Garden of Eden was clearly invaded by Satan. The Scripture has shown his kingdom is under the clouds, under the stars, and under heaven on to earth.
In verse 13 he stated he will sit upon the mount of the congregation. II Thessalonians 2 shows us that he accomplished exalting his throne and sits upon the mount of the congregation.
II Thessalonians 2:3,4
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
(2)
He accomplished this by deceiving the people into believing that he is God, speaking through humans that are leaders of their flocks. Satan perverts God’s Word through an intellectual and/or legalistic Gospel rather than these leaders and their flocks having a direct relationship and fellowship with the Person of Christ through the genuine Baptism of the Holy Spirit. This hybrids God’s Word alienating a true, genuine Born Again experience.
The prophet Ezekiel gives us insight in knowing our enemy, and his desires, and how this war ultimately separated us from God’s eternal life, needing a spiritual rebirth to bring us back to Him.
Ezekiel 28:12-15
…Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Thou hast been in the Garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Verse 13 states ‘the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee the day that thou was created.’ This explains the perverted music that fills the earth today. Satan was the worship leader in heaven and is now controlling the worship on earth. Without the genuine born again spiritual connection with God, we are all vulnerable to all of Satan’s perverted, deceiving schemes as we are only led by our natural minds. Ultimately, there are only two powers, God and Satan. Since only God can create, God alone is the only true power. Satan can only deceive. However, it is still a power that needs to be overcome. Remember Revelation 12:9 told us Satan’s strategy is to deceive the whole world.
When Satan invaded the Garden of Eden, God’s son Adam and the woman were the only two people in God’s family thus far living in the Garden having perfect, daily fellowship with the Spiritual Presence of God brought by the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden. Remember God’s image is Spirit and cannot be seen by any man. Adam
was made in God’s exact Spiritual image. God’s image was and is The Pure Word that created the entire universe.
(3)
John 1:1-4
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 any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Adam would imitate His Father in everything his Father would do and say. Even to name the animals was revelation from God’s thoughts.
It was a Supernatural, glorified body, clothed in His Righteous Word; (“Let us make man in our own image…” Gen 1:26) allowing him to communicate and have dominion over all the cattle, birds and sea creatures. Everything obeyed his voice. Note, it was a chapter after God created Adam in His own Spiritual image that there was no man to till the ground so He formed Adam a body out of the dust of the earth and put His Supernatural Spirit in him.
Genesis 2:5,7
…And there was not a man to till the ground.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
And the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). So He puts Adam in a deep sleep and takes a rib from his side and made a woman. Genesis tells us God got the woman spirit from the man, Adam.
The Hebrew word for ‘woman’ is “ISH SHAH.” “ISH” is “fem of man.” It means “SHE-MAN,” “FEMALE MAN,” or “Man WITH THE WOMB” because SHE CAME FROM MAN.
Satan, by the presence of his spirit, was also in the midst of the Garden known as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:17) offering an alternative choice for life. Satan, being the master deceiver, had a plan to deceive the woman into believing that choosing his headship would grant her greater wisdom that she would be equal with the gods giving her a greater and more liberated life. Interestingly, Eve was only referred to as ’Woman’ until the fall. She then received her own liberated identity as she was called ‘Eve.’
(4)
Satan’s plan was to enter the human race to contaminate the pure sinless bloodline coming from God. His purpose was to spiritually separate man from God, His eternal life, and supernatural abilities, that only God can give. He wanted to be like God and overthrow Gods’ Kingdom. Satan’s plan is to take as many people as he can to the abyss with him.
Satan, being a spiritual being, could not co-mingle with the human race to alienate the Spiritual DNA connection between God and man. Remember the two trees in the Garden were the ‘spiritual’ presence of God and of Satan. A choice had to be made to serve one or the other. One was The Tree of Life and the other the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil ultimately leading to death. Satan knew by perverting God’s Word to deceive the woman into changing their allegiance to him would be an act of high treason against God with no way back.
Satan needed a vessel to infiltrate the human race. The serpent was the perfect vessel as it was the only Beast in God’s creation able to mix seed with a human. Satan, being a spirit being, wooed the serpent into beginning his plan of deceivement. We see even today how people catch the spirit of an influential person and be wooed into acting, talking, and even trying to dress and look like them, entertaining their spirit even to the point of the spirit taking up residence in their being, possessing all the same traits.
As Satan was now incarnate in the serpent, the serpent could and would do whatever Satan commanded of him.
For Satan to carry out his plan, it was necessary to transfer his seed through the serpent into the human race through the woman. His seed would NOT have the benefits of eternal life or supernatural abilities that were only given by God’s Supernatural DNA, as he was a created being and not eternal. By accomplishing this, he would separate man from God’s family by stealing, killing, and destroying the earth and all God’s creation for then and the future, as there was only Adam and the woman. There were no offsprings to carry on the family of God.
Romans 5:12
As by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman,…
(5)
Notice the woman having a conversation with the serpent. Before the fall the serpent had to have been an upright being with the ability to speak, as he had to go to the ground as part of his curse.
The first thing Satan did speaking through the serpent was pervert, or hybrid God’s Word.
Genesis 3:4,5.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
These Scriptures in the original writing describe the true meanings of ‘tree,’ ‘eat,’ ‘touch,’ ‘eyes,’ and ‘fruit.’ All the Hebrew definitions and explanations are laid out in detail in my book, “The Bible And Science In Harmony.”
The serpent was truly a masculine upright being that was able to influence Eve by the voice of Satan dwelling incarnate in him, that she would be made wise to understand good and evil. She would feel confident that he would be a very intelligent guide for her life. With all this temptation, she took the forbidden ‘fruit,’ producing the seed of an immoral act with the serpent in the Garden of Eden of which the contaminated bloodline began.
Scripture tells us Adam partook also and that he was not deceived.
I Timothy 2:14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
God gave Adam His instructions while he was still a spirit being in God’s image (Genesis 1:26), a chapter before He created his flesh body from the dust of the earth, and put His Supernatural Spirit in him.
God commanded Adam to replenish the earth and bring sons and daughters “after His kind” while he was still in the spiritual form. So when sin later came in the next chapter (Genesis 2:7) after Adam was in his natural, flesh body, it was spiritual death that took him even though he sinned in the natural flesh body through passion. Thus, the transgression was the breaking of the Spiritual connection between God and man resulting in Spiritual and natural death, as even man’s natural life cannot live forever without God’s Spiritual DNA in him.
(6)
Adam made a conscious decision to not be separated from Eve, the help meet and companion that he loved and followed after. His decision to rebel against God’s command was an act of high treason against God. God’s law that was written in the stars, plus having close fellowship with God in the cool of the evening clearly instructed Adam with His Word that had always existed, even before the foundation of the world, a woman to lie with a beast must be put to death. Adam was not permitted to take her back as she was guilty of lying with the serpent, recognized in Scripture as a Beast.
Exodus 22:19
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
Adam took her back and lived in the fallen state and had many children after the fall.
The results of partaking of this forbidden fruit was they immediately knew they were spiritually separated from God, and lost their Supernatural Authority over all creation. Without the Supernatural Spirit of God, all his descendants would then be in the likeness and image of him rather than the likeness and image of God. Adam was now in the likeness of the animal kingdom that God created, the very kingdom he once had rule over.
They knew the sin was from the immoral act as they covered their groin areas with fig leaves to hide their guilt. The transgression certainly did not come from eating an apple or they would have covered the mouth as one does when they accidentally say something they are ashamed of.
Genesis 3:7
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
God also completely changed the serpent from an upright creature who could walk and talk in the Garden to a snake crawling on its belly in the dust of the earth as punishment for what he had done. The serpent was the only part of creation we can find in Scriptures that could co-mingle with human blood.
Genesis 3:14
(7)
And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
Till this very day scientists are still searching for the missing link between man and animal. They try through all types of evolution with apes and sea life but can never find any factual scientific proof. Animal blood cannot mix with human blood. All creation produces after its own kind and that never changes. Nothing has ever evolved on its own into something greater. Humans are at the top of God’s creation and no evolution has put us here. He created the first man in His image and we are returning back to that image. The Apostle Paul said God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world. We were with Him before the world began and He had His plan to bring us back.
There are many Scriptural examples of the spiritual influence of this contaminated bloodline down through the ages. In the book of John we find the religious leaders not only recognizing the existence of the contaminated bloodline but also denying any spiritual influence from it.
John 8:41
…we be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil…
It is interesting that Cain is not even mentioned as a son of Adam in the generations of Adam in Genesis Chapter 5 or anywhere in the Bible as he was the firstborn and the firstborn always inherits the birthright. Jude 14 tells us Enoch was the seventh from Adam. If Cain was in Adam’s lineage, Enoch would have to be the eighth from Adam.
Cain certainly was not the seed of Adam, but had to be the ‘serpent seed’ in Genesis 3:15 that caused the fall through an immoral act. One seed was good and the other evil.
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Man constantly looking for a way back to their eternal supernatural life with God realized that the separation was from the perverted hybrid bloodline. Since the hybrid contaminated blood was the cause of the fall, it could only be pure sinless blood to
(8)
redeem man back to God, of which there was none in all the earth. It would have to be created by God.
God’s own law required a price to be paid for redemption through a kinsman redeemer. No one met the qualifications required by the law to fulfill the requirements. No religious leaders, popes or priests, or anyone else could be found worthy. Even an angel could not qualify because it had to be a kinsman. It had to be a ‘human’ with sinless blood.
Then God Himself became a kinsman by taking on human flesh through the virgin birth and shed His blood. Not the blood of a Jew or Gentile but His very own blood. Revelation 5:9 tells us he redeemed us with His Blood from every kindred, tongue, people, and nation.
This is the reason God would not accept Cain’s sacrifice as there was no blood in the offering. Abel offered the blood of an animal and God accepted it. It had to be blood, even though it would come from animal sacrifice, until the pure sinless blood would come.
This pure blood would not come until all of God’s seed that were placed in the earth from before the foundation of the world would have the opportunity to be part of God’s plan of salvation. He promised He would not lose one of us.
Satan has an extremely elaborate kingdom of spiritual wickedness in high places. His spiritual kingdom has been elevated to numerous gods deceiving humans into believing they are the true God. They influence Adam’s race of non genuine born again humans by perverting God’s Word leading them down wrong roads, painting a fake beautiful future, thinking it is the best or easier way to go, but leads to their doom. His plan is to blind God’s people from the truth of His Pure Word, alienating us from the eternal life God has for us. Paul exposed Satan’s plan of deceivement to the Corinthians.
II Corinthians 4:4 (Living Bible)
Satan, who is the god of this evil world, has made him blind, unable to see the glorious light of the gospel that is shining upon him, or to understand the amazing message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is God.
The trail of the serpent, as it spreads and matures, clearly reveals the two opposing natures being displayed from Cain’s and Adam’s descendants. Cain, and all of his descendants had an evil nature influenced by Satan’s spiritual wickedness in high places made up of many gods, manifesting lies, murders, deceit, and all types of evil.
(9)
Adam’s descendants did not have that evil nature. They followed Gods’ commandments the best they could, even in their fallen condition, looking for their way back to Gods’ supernatural benefits and eternal Love.
Genesis 4:25,26
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
And to Seth, to him also was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
The trail of this wickedness in high places influencing humans away from God and His Word began in the Garden of Eden. These trails of rebellion can easily be followed all down through the Bible and history to modern times. His plan has never changed.
Cain had the same nature and characteristics of his father, the serpent. Genesis 4:2 describes him as a tiller of the ground. The spirit of murdering and all types of evil were found in him. He had the nature of a murderer from the beginning. This nature was influenced and guided by Satan possessing his thoughts from the spiritual realm.
Scripture reveals that the immoral union in the Garden brought forth Cain, and his descendants soon followed.
Genesis 4:19 through 23 tells us Lamech, a descendant of Cain, had more than one wife and also committed murder. Genesis chapter 4 also describes Cain’s descendants as knowledgeable, inventors, business men, musicians, and great builders of cities which was typical under the lineage of the ‘Tree of Knowledge Of Good And Evil.’
Not long after the fall of Adam, we find Cain’s descendants included entire races of giants living in the Land of Promise where our Lord Jesus was to be born. These races of giants included the Hittites, Amorites, Jebusites, Kenites, Caananites, and many other nations of giants. Genesis 6:4 tells us that the Sons of God, (Adam’s descendants) co-mingled with the daughters of men, (women from the hybrid seed line, not of God) which spread the immoral seed even further.
Even after the flood, that immoral seed continued through Noah’s family (Ham’s wife). This was all part of God’s perfect plan of redemption as He would use every contaminated seed to the benefit of His chosen people.
(10)
Satan has an untold number of principalities in high places deceiving the spirits of men, making them slaves to Satan’s commands all in the name of service to the greater good.
Nimrod the great grandson of Noah, was a descendant of Cain through Ham’s wife, and was also of the race of the giants. Nimrod’s father Cush, the son of Ham, shortly after the flood, planned with his son Nimrod, a way to rule the world through a wicked counterfeit, organized, one world government, and one world religious system to sway the hearts of humanity. This was Satan’s scheme to use Nimrod to defy God and His authority. This system trails through time to modern day.
Nimrod built the Tower of Babel (Genesis Chapter 10 and 11). They called it ‘The Gate to Heaven.’
The Targum Bible translation says: ”Nimrod became a mighty man of sin, a murderer of innocent men, and a rebel before the Lord.” His name in Hebrew is ‘Marad’ meaning ‘he rebelled.’
Nimrod was so evil he actually married his own mother ‘Semiramis.’ Nimrod thereafter experienced an untimely death by Shem, his great uncle, one of Noah’s three sons, who
cut him up as an example to others for his atrocities. Shem was a Godly man and it is through his seed the Messiah would come.
Different countries and cultures told their version of what happened next. One version says Nimrod’s mother/wife Semiramis, of whom was a great influential being, then began the evil doctrine that Nimrod survived as a spirit being. She claimed that a dead stump came to life as a full grown evergreen tree overnight, symbolizing the new spirit life of Nimrod. Semiramis claimed that on every anniversary of Nimrod’s birth he would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts around it. This is the original Christmas tree as Nimrod’s birthday was December 25th.
In another version she tells that when Nimrod died he went up to the sun, and the sun became a symbol of Nimrod. She told the people that a ray of sun came to her and impregnated her with a child. She claimed this child was actually Nimrod coming back in the reincarnation of the sun god. She named the child Tammuz. These three, Nimrod, Tammuz, and herself, dubbed the queen of heaven, were then worshiped as the personification of the sun god, and this is where we find the origination of the three in one trinity doctrine. Semiramis claimed that her son was both god the father and god the son.
(11)
Through her influential status made up of magic and illusion, Semiramis continued Satan’s deceiving, wicked plan by elevating herself to the ‘Queen of Heaven.’ She then elevated Nimrod to the ‘Divine Son of Heaven.’ Through this idolatrous worship Nimrod also became widely known as ‘Messiah, the Son of Baal, and the Sun God.’ Semiramis and Nimrod, the ‘Mother and Child’ became objects of worship throughout the world of different countries and languages. In Asia, they were Cybele and Deolus. In Pagan Rome, Fortuna and Jupiter. In Egypt they were worshiped under the names Isis and Osoris. Even in Japan, China and Tibet is found the counterpart of the Madonna long before the birth of Christ. In Canaan they were worshiped as Ashtorath, Astarte, Molech and Baal of which names are still commonly known to modern times. Many mergers of doctrine then began to take place in the false Roman, Babylonian church. Under Constantine the pagans were permitted to bring their statues and idols of Semiramis, the queen of heaven, and Nimrod, Baal, the sun god into the church. This pagan worship also required human sacrifice. The names were changed to the ‘Virgin Mary Queen of Heaven’ to replace Semiramis and Little Jesus, the Sun God to replace Tammuz. They consistently honored Tammuz with the sign of the cross recognizing him by the capital ‘T’ in his name, of which is still practiced in modern times.
In regards to the worship of the moon goddess Semiramis, round cakes were made with crosses cut on them in honor of the sun god. This also is still used in worship today commonly known as ‘hot cross buns.’
Jeremiah 7:17,18
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
The forty days of weeping for Tammuz became ‘lent.’
Ezekiel 8:12-18
Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Turn thee yet again, and
(12)
thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshiped the sun toward the east.
Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger:
At the close of Lent came Easter Sunday. The goddess Ishtar, also known as Easter, came to be known as the goddess of springtime as in ‘new life.’ History records her as the ‘goddess of reproduction.’ Pagans would go to a mountain early on Sunday morning
and worship this goddess as the sun was rising in the east. These rituals were known for their immorality and indecency of every sort. Eggs and rabbits were used as types of
fertility for ‘new life.’ In time this was all blessed by the Catholic Church and disbursed to the world.
Satan had trapped the whole world into some form of Baal worship resulting in worshiping many gods and idols.
Nimrod, under the influence of Satan, is the originator of sun worship and originator of untold numerous gods.
Egypt alone had more than 2,000 gods for over 3,000 years. They all have their own personalities of evil characteristics. They celebrated this evil with pornography, same sex unions, drugs, alcohol, riots, unrestrained feasts, and orgies. These celebrations were known as ‘Saturnalia’ after the name ‘Saturn’ which was another name for Nimrod. These and many, many more, being injected into humans by perverting the Word of God making evil acceptable, just as he did with Eve. These are the direct enemies of God. Their whole purpose is to blind our eyes by deceivement away from God’s Eternal Life Giving Word.
This Satanic worship may have different names but still all under the Satanic Babylonian system to sway the hearts of mankind away from the only One True God, The Lord Jesus Christ, and to miss His scriptural plan of salvation.
We have all been born into this Satanic Babylonian system and raised with many things as holy and to be respected as sacred. Yet we never questioned to see where they originated, the Bible or Pagan Idolatry.
(13)
This certainly is not an exhaustive study on these gods and their occult influence on mankind. A quick study of history will reveal a continued trail of this wicked serpent into the day we are living. Please check ancient Bible historical facts on the origination of the Bull on Wall Street, Freemasonry, the Knights of Columbus, the Jesuits, the Illuminati, the Temple of Baal in New York City, and yes, even the Statue of Liberty amongst many, many more. This system was behind Hitler, the Holocaust, the multi-millions martyred in the dark ages for their unbelief in Satan’s religious system.
They may have different names but still all under the Satanic Babylonian system to sway the hearts of mankind away from the only true Word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Satan has come so disguised as an angel of light, that his identity is most often hidden in his deceivement.
But thanks be to God we, that belong to Him, cannot be deceived!
Mathew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
God always reveals His redemptive Word of deliverance to eternal life to His believers that He knew before the foundation of the world. He promised He would not lose even one of us.
The trail of the serpent began in the Garden of Eden and the devastating results are crystal clear through the ages. Satan has been extremely successful deceiving people reaching every corner of the globe into believing his lies and deceit.
It is no surprise for God’s people to not be deceived as they have the true identification of God’s Word living in their hearts giving spiritual discernment to anything impure.
The only way to be safeguarded from this deceivement is to be ‘Born Again’ and filled with His Spirit.
When Nicodemus came to Jesus and asked how he did those supernatural miracles. He answered that you must be ‘Born Again’ to even see the Kingdom of God.
John 3:2,3
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher
(14)
come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
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.
Make no mistake. Jesus said you MUST be ‘Born Again’.
The Apostle Paul clearly informs us in his letter to the Corinthians why we need to be ‘Born Again,’ and that we have two bodies living within every Born Again Christian. The Earthly has no spiritual discernment or access to God’s Spiritual wisdom. The Spiritual body has access to God Himself and all His Spiritual blessings.
You must be ‘Born Again’ of His Spiritual Life, of which Adam lost, to reopen the Spiritual channels to God’s Spiritual wisdom.
1 Corinthians 2:12-14
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 15:46
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1 Corinthians 15:44
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
The only way to open this channel to God’s Spiritual realm is to be ‘Born’ into it which reconnects us to the God Adam was separated from in the Garden of Eden. This gives us the wisdom and power to overcome Satan’s deceivements and all his temptations of his evil, wicked earthly kingdom.
1 John 5:4
(15)
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
God’s plan for redemption through being Born Again is so simple most miss this genuine life giving experience. The term Born Again has become so watered down that many are deceived into believing that just being born in America and identifying with a Christian nation that they are a Born Again Christian.
Many dismiss the subject because they cannot understand it. Make no mistake, the ‘Born Again’ phenomena is a Spiritual act that cannot be understood with the natural mind. Our God is Spiritual, and all His endeavors are in the spiritual realm activated by unlimited faith. These spiritual actions affect all of our human, natural actions.
How do we get there? God has it all under control and orchestrates every step bringing his loved ones back to Him.
First, God places ‘handfuls of purpose’ in front of each one of us revealing more and more of Himself and His love, just as Boaz did for Ruth creating a desire in her for his love when she was gleaning in his field.
Ruth 2:16
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
God knows every detail and desire about each and every one of us that He loves. He orchestrates the details of every event revealing more of His Love, and drawing the ones He desires to falling more in love with Him in His perfect timing.
John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
He then supernaturally draws our hearts toward Him and His purpose for our lives.
Exodus 35:21,22,26
And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing,
and they brought the LORD’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
(16)
And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted,
And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats’ hair.
The stirring of the heart ultimately leads His loved ones to His chosen place of worship. His place of worship has and always will be under the blood. From the time of Abel’s blood sacrifice in the Garden to the priceless, everlasting, sinless blood of God at Calvary. It is a finished work that has defeated Satan and will never change or lose His life-giving power.
Scripture tells us the Old Testament shadows the New Testament. The Old Testament was the natural and The New Testament is the Spiritual.
Hebrews 10:1
For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
In the Old Testament the believer could only worship God as he was positionally placed in the place of God’s choosing. The believer was required to bring his blood sacrifice to God’s chosen place of worship, which was at the door of the Tabernacle of Moses. He had to be identified with the blood sacrifice for a peace offering unto God.
Leviticus 17:3-9
What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
(17)
Man could only worship God through the blood. He had no right to even worship God except when he came to the tabernacle, the place where the blood was offered. There was no promise of answered prayer or even the fulfilling of His promises outside the tabernacle. This was the place designated by God for all believers to gather in ONE fellowship. God came to His Temple to be worshiped where the blood outside the door made the atonement.
At the Tabernacle where the lamb was killed, the lamb was burnt on the brazen altar and the smoke went up. As the smoke went up it left a sweet smelling savor into God’s nostrils.
God came to His Temple in a pillar of fire and went to the Mercy Seat, and all under that blood had a right to worship. This was His chosen place for all Israel to come together to worship.
The Old Testament positioning of the blood sacrifice at the Tabernacle speaks of our Lord Jesus’ Blood that was shed on Calvary and how the believer needs to be properly positioned to identify with His ultimate sacrifice. In the New Testament a believer can only worship God as he is positionally placed in Christ which is under the blood by being Born Again.
The nature of Cain’s descendants and what it produces, compared to Born Again Christians proves without a doubt that we are of two different origins and that we need to be reconnected to our original creator, the Only True God.
We must have a Spiritual Nature change which would change the nature of our natural nature, as the natural always types the spiritual. Our old nature could never come into the presence of God. You can’t expect to be a wolf or any other scavenger and expect the Dove of Peace to dwell in you. He won’t do it. You’ve got to become a submissive, humble Lamb. Our Lord Jesus has a lamb nature as He is the Lamb of God, willing and submissive to do the Father’s will at all cost.
Our nature has to be changed from the inside out from a wolf spirit to that of a Lamb. Then we will look at things differently. We will now be willing to forfeit all the worldly desires that we once enjoyed.
(18)
We were once married to our first nature and loved the world and the things of the world. When we became one with God’s nature, our old nature or husband died out so much that God cast it into the sea of forgetfulness to never be remembered again.
There is a constant stirring and longing in the hearts of believers around the world, supernaturally initiated by God, to be reunited with Him, as He is our Father.
The Old Testament Scriptures prove there was no way back to fellowship with God without Pure Blood, of which there was no one worthy in all the earth to redeem mankind, as all blood was contaminated. Pure Blood was non-existent.
God unveils His perfect plan to supply the Pure Blood necessary to be reconnected with His children. God, all through the prophetic Scriptures, detail by detail, over and over
reveals His plan. We have all been given the privilege of knowing His redemption plan with the power of choice to accept it or to reject it.
God’s plan, plainly written in His Word, to the Israelites, details the qualifications necessary for one to become a kinsman redeemer. Redeem simply means to ‘bring back’ to where we once were.
An interesting thought is that God wrote the Word, with all those qualifications to redeem mankind, before there even was a world or fallen man needing to be brought back.
First, there is that supernatural drawing in our hearts to know our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It becomes a Love relationship, the same as Boaz and Ruth of old, culminating in Bridegroom and Bride.
It has been said that Boaz and Ruth’s love for each other was the greatest love story ever told. A greater love than that is our Love relationship with our Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus Christ, who loved us so much He gave His life for us before we even knew Him.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(19)
The redemptive process required the redeemer to be a blood relative. This is why Our Lord had to be born into the world with pure human blood. He was born in the ‘likeness of men.’
Philippians 2:7
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
God created a pure, sinless, blood cell and placed it in the womb of the virgin Mary. It is the genuine Blood of God that only God could create. The biological Father was God, not Joseph.
This was the first blood cell since the fall in the Garden of Eden that was not contaminated with the hybrid, perverted bloodline.
Another qualification to be a kinsman redeemer was to have the ability to pay the price for the redemption, of which our Lord adequately paid the full price with His Pure Blood Cell being shed on Calvary. This Blood Cell would reach every corner of the earth to redeem all mankind once and for all.
Philippians 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Romans 5:12,19
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
The redeemer also had to qualify by being fully capable to provide in every way for the well being of the person or persons.
Our Lord Jesus adequately qualified to provide for His redeemed Bride, as He takes up residency in each one of us by His Spirit leading, guiding and providing our every need. He is the creator and owner of the earth having the authority to give us access to everything for our lives.
(20)
Our Lord Jesus qualified in all areas to redeem His Bride through the Born Again process. He gave a specific commandment that we Must be Born Again to see the Kingdom of God.
Make no mistake, being Born Again is not a mere catchphrase or categorizing yourself with others, or even a church that claims to be Born Again. It is not a change of habits or a new lease on life. Being genuinely Born Again is a very personal love encounter with our Lord. His love for you and His act of forgiveness is revealed and experienced in your heart. You are washed and cleansed like a newborn baby knowing this is the first day of your New Life. This is the seed germ of Life on the inside of the inside of us. When the Lord, in His time, germinates that seed, it comes to life and a literal Spiritual New Birth with a Godly nature, takes place within you. We now have a new Father and a new Family.
How is this New Birth obtained? Our God is a Faith God. Everything He created and does, He does by Faith including His entire redemptive process. Even the animal sacrifices at the Gate of Moses Tabernacle in the Old Testament were done by faith that their sacrifice would be accepted as a Peace Offering with God.
Hebrews 11:6
But Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
The New Birth is also accessed by the faith of the believer seeking the One that revealed Himself and drew you to that position. God revealed Himself and drew us to Him by His Grace. It is the gift of God as we certainly did not deserve it. We then recognized His Grace and accepted His invitation by Faith in His Word.
Ephesians 2:8,9
For by Grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
When that seed is germinated by God, by His grace, and activated by faith you are Spiritually Born Again. That is the Only way to get into God’s Kingdom is to be Born into it!
1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
(21)
No theological training, intellectual knowledge about Him or trying to come up any other way will work. The Only way is to be Born into His Kingdom.This Spiritual Birth, born from above, is more real than any earthly experience. It is the birth of a supernatural New Creation from above, with a new nature exactly like our new Heavenly Father’s, to live eternally with our Bridegroom! Just five minutes in the Presence of God will change your life forever.
We Born Again believers now have two lives living within each of us. The flesh life is earthly and continually wars with the Spiritual body that was born from above, and treats it like an invader.
Galatians 5:17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other:
The one is earthly and evil, the other is from above and produces the Godly Fruit of the Spirit.
James 3:14-18
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
This is the same war that began in Genesis when Satan deceived man into following him instead of God. This war still rages today between Satan’s seed and God’s Seed.
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Remember in the Garden, Adam was Spiritually separated from God at the fall causing him to forfeit all supernatural abilities and forsaking eternal life. The fall of Adam was in the spirit realm. God is Spirit, and His Spiritual Life is the only eternal life there is. God must reconnect us to His Spiritual Life that Adam separated us from, through the Born Again phenomena.
(22)
The New Birth is so genuine and real that If you could analyze God’s Spiritual DNA and the DNA of our spiritual birth, you may find the DNA of God flowing through our Born Again Spirit Life as it is His Life in us.
Many criticize the supernatural Born Again phenomena and say it is not real, just our imagination or brainwashing. They have just never been Born Again and have no experience to compare it to. Anyone who has been genuinely Born Again through a supernatural experience would never accept that explanation because they know they met their Lord and Saviour personally; not a church belief or someone else’s experience. You could never tell a true Born Again believer any differently or take it away from them as Christ lives within the believers heart, and the believer witnesses daily changes in the deepest part of their soul, overcoming every deceiving trick and temptation Satan has in his arsenal.
The benefits of the Born Again new birth are extremely powerful. Jesus, the Word Seed of God, now living and growing in you gives you the Power that overcomes everything contrary to God’s victorious Life.
Philippians 3:10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection…
This power is not limited to our Spiritual Life only. It quickens our Mortal Body as well. ‘Quicken’ means to ‘make alive’. This is a true Nature change filled with love, power, excitement, faith, and hope shared in the family of God.
Romans 8:11-13
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Romans 6:4,5
Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
(23)
Scriptures tell us that just knowing Him is Eternal Life!
John 17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might Know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
The word ‘know’ in this Scripture is ‘yadda’ in the original text, which translates to ‘intimate relationship’. We become so in love with Him that we become one with Him as a husband and wife who are truly in love with each other. They love and trust each other explicitly, have the same goal, purpose, and desires. They are inseparable. They always watch out for each other and their best interest. They totally become One entity.
He is the Living Word, and as we become intimate with Him, we fall in love with and become intimate with His Living Word also. God is Love. Faith and Love go together. The Word is where the Light and Power is.
Our supernatural overcoming powers grow stronger every day. Daily victories in every area of our lives get greater and greater as we Pray and read His Word. The Word reveals Itself to our New Creation in such an exciting way, by revelation, that it becomes a Living part of us that could never be removed by anyone. We are One now with the Word. We literally become the Word. As the Word was formed in Mary, It also forms in us.
As we keep feeding our New Nature that we received by the New Birth, our character grows and overpowers the old earthly nature. Soon the earthly nature diminishes and has no more dominion of sin and earthly desires over us. The New Love Nature of God completely takes over our entire being until we are inseparable, walking, fellowshipping, and being like minded in purpose.
Psalms 119:105
Thy word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Strong’s Concordance gives a great description of our New Life with Christ, the Bridegroom and Bride. Definitions of genders of key words, in the original text, bring more revelation to this Scripture.
Thy ‘Word’ (Masculine) is a ‘Lamp’ (Masculine) unto my ‘feet’ (Feminine), and a ‘light’ (Masculine) unto my path (Masculine and Feminine).
(24)
Here we find our destiny of the Bridegroom and Bride walking together in perfect harmony of Love and Purpose.
Let’s bow our heads in closing.
Gracious, Heavenly Father, we love You with everything that is in us. Please forgive all our sins and shortcomings and allow us to come confidently into Your presence.
We cannot even begin to fathom Your love and the price You had to pay to spend eternity with us when we are so unworthy. Thank You for drawing us to You and revealing Yourself in Your Word. Thanking You doesn’t even begin to express our gratitude.
My prayer today is that You would open our hearts to a deeper Revelation of Your Word that would draw us to a genuine Born Again Life and fill us with Your precious Holy Spirit. A fellowship much greater than an intellectual relationship of just knowing about You, but an intimacy of knowing and fellowshipping with You personally.
Even while we are still in the world, our greatest desire would be the intimate fellowship we just read about in Psalm 119:105 where we see the Bridegroom and Bride walking in perfect harmony fulfilling Your purpose on earth as it is in Heaven.
Please grant it to each one of us today that we may have the greatest honor of bringing forth fruit for Your Kingdom.
We ask these things Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in faith believing, knowing it will come to pass.
John 16:23
Whatsoever ye shall Ask the father in my name, he will give it you. AMEN!
