Title: Born Again! November 25, 2016
Author: Robert Porter
I was born of flesh before I was born of the Spirit. It was a true born again experience. It was too difficult for my carnal mind to understand at first, but after the Spirit’s continuous coming to teach me about the spirit world, it became clear. But the born again experience starts with sowing the seed of faith into a good ground, a good and noble angel from the Kingdom of God. Other than share how it happened for me, I cannot sow the seed of faith into your good ground. I can only say as Jesus said to Nicodemus: you must be…“Born Again!”
Nicodemus went to Jesus one night to try to get an understanding of what it meant to be born again:
“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 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.” (John 3:1-3, KJV).
Jesus was trying to get Nicodemus to understand that in order for one to see the Kingdom of God, they first had to be born again of this Kingdom. And that Jesus, after His crucifixion, resurrection from the dead and ascension to be on high, would be the baptizer into both the Holy Ghost and this Spiritual Kingdom of God from above called Jerusalem.
Today’s generation too often confuse the emotions that comes from believing that we have been born again of the Spirit, with actually being born again of the Comforter, and cannot see this Kingdom we are called of God the Father and the living God to seek. And when my daughter said in response once when I made the comment:
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: (Galatians 5:22-23), and one must be born again of the Spirit before they can produce fruit of the Spirit,” with, “I know that is something I have to work on,” I knew by those words that she had not been born again of the Spirit, as I have. For you cannot work your way into the Kingdom, only faith will let you in. But we too often confuse our emotional feelings with actually being born again of the Spirit.
To be born again of the Spirit, one must have faith in God and seek this Kingdom that God commanded us to seek when He was One with Jesus:
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33, KJV). Receiving the Kingdom starts with sowing the seed of faith into a good ground: “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” (Luke 8:15, KJV).
The good ground represents an angel from the Kingdom of God that is a companion to one’s soul. It will testify to God on your behalf as to whether you have faith or not, and believe that Jesus has been resurrected from the dead and is at the right hand of God. Even after I was born again, for many years, I was very much like those who received seed on the thorny ground, which, when they had heard, went forth, and were choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and brought no fruit to perfection. But after constantly grinding it out by praying in the Spirit daily, I came to bear fruit.
God would love for all to be born again. For it’s not a fun thing to be lost in this old world making ourselves susceptible to be devoured by Satan because of our unbelief. The angels from God’s Kingdom that are here in the earth to be companions to our souls are depicted as robes. Beautiful white robes that our heavenly Father gives to be companions to our souls when we are just children, that we stain and make unclean by our wicked ways.
But God gave us a Savior to wash our robes with in His blood, if only we believe that our heavenly Father loved this world so much, that He was willing to give His one and only Son to be born of a woman, to be a living sacrifice to atone for the sins of all mankind.
But as much as God may wish for all to be born again, He understands that not many will find this gift of Eternal Life while they live in the land of the living:
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:14,KJV).
When it comes to my daughter, apparently, God saw my concerns about her not being born again as being overblown. For the Spirit revealed:
“As far as precious souls as your daughter, who may not be born again of Me, the Comforter, she will still go in to the marriage of the Lamb, and more than likely will be in that first resurrection from the dead, when Jesus will come into His Kingdom for the millennial reign of peace. Because she believes in Jesus. She loves Jesus. She may not fully understand Him, and may not be born again of MOI, Me, for narrow is the gate, and difficult is the way that leads to Me. Was it easy for you, boo? I don’t think so.
“But so what?” the Spirit continued. “Not every one will wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb before they die from the land of the living. And during the last day of the latter days, the great and dreadful day of the Lord, when God will make Jesus’ enemies in the Antichrist spirits His footstool,” the Spirit explained, “Jesus will no longer baptize souls into the Holy Ghost. For the Church age will come to an end. And one must understand that blessed is the Lamb who came and will come again in the name of the Lord, in order to go in to the marriage of the Lamb.
“And as long as your daughter will understand what that means and will go in to the marriage of the Lamb, what’s the big deal?” asked the Spirit. “For in reality, she may still be alive when the saints, those such as yourself who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb before they died from the land of the living, will be resurrected from the dead and will be in that number with the saints when they go marching into heaven,” revealed the Spirit.
I suspect the Spirit was trying to say that the day of the Lord, this day that I have been called to prepare the way for, the great and dreadful day of the Lord, is near. But no man, not even the living God, knows the time or the hour when His feet will touch down upon the holy Mount of Olives, save our heavenly Father. And if I should be alive when this day begins, I believe I will be caught up alive the way the original Elijah was.
For I believe I will be in that number with the saints when they go marching into heaven, and Jesus will Shepherd our souls as we wait as joint-heirs with Him to inherit the Kingdom of heaven for His millennial reign of peace, while the Lord God Almighty will reign as One in the earth during the last day of the latter days, the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
I love my daughter. She has a good heart. But no matter how much I may love her, I cannot waltz into her house of flesh and sow the seed of faith into her good ground. That is something that only Hillary can do. And this is something the whole world can do. Believe and accept the Lord Jesus Christ into your hearts and souls as your personal Lord and Savior. But one must first have a good and faithful heart from the Kingdom of God.
The Spirit reminded me that I was no longer flesh when She revealed:
“You are a living witness to what it means to be born again. To be transformed by the Spirit. You are no longer flesh. Just as Jesus said to Nicodemus; ‘That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.’ (John 3:6), you are now a spiritual being, made so by Me, the Spirit of truth and righteousness.”
So I say to all the world: Go into your closet and pray to our heavenly Father to let His Kingdom come. But you must first have faith that God will draw you to the Father, before you can pray to the Father, and then our Father will let His Kingdom come to you from heaven, just as long as you seek He who is the truth, the Lord God Almighty.
“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.” (Hebrews 11:6, KJV).
And let His Spirit by Her continuous coming transform your soul the way She has transformed mine. I am a living witness to what it means to be born again. It happened for me, it can happen for you. Just heed what Jesus said to Nicodemus, you must be… “Born Again!”
