Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born? Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit, (The Gospel of John 3:3-8).
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, come and see. So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth, (Revelation 6:7-8).
Jesus is expounding His point to Nicodemus in chapter 3: 14-15, And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Death rode through as conqueror over mankind, however our Great God, the I AM, supplied those who believe a way through death and to overcome it…… by faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, Our King and Savior. However, if we believe, we must be born again from above, by the Spirit of God….. Jesus said…. so it is the truth of the only way and to enter the kingdom of heaven.
You were taking a walk. You hear the Holy Spirit ask you a question. Do you believe that I am a consuming God? Yes, you say. What does that mean, child? You think, well, fire burns up everything, it takes no prisoners. Then you move your thoughts towards God as Fire….. He puts another couple of questions before you….. What does this scripture mean to you written in Colossians 3:11, that Christ is all and in all? What is the reason the Bush in the wilderness that I engulfed with fire did not burn up when Moses was before Me? What happens child, when the Flames of God rests in you? Will you burn up?
Just as you were going to try to answer any of those incredible questions, the rain plummets the earth. You turn and run to shelter. You find an old piece of paper in your pocket. You find a pencil on the ground…. You write down the questions from the Holy Spirit. You know the questions from the Holy Spirit are leading you somewhere, obviously not of this world.
You have learned that as your grow in the knowledge of the purpose and plan of your Heavenly Father, that you also know His will. You also learned that as you know His will, you now live your life in accordance with Him as He has revealed.
You have been living in this great unexplained peace in the heart of your being. That peace never leaves even when turmoil is surrounding you. You realize this is the peace of God resting on you or in you. You are so grateful for Him in your life. You are living with Him 24/7.
When evil comes to attack, He lets you know He is there with you…. The attacks aren’t fun. However, fellowship and knowledge with the One that created the universe that He has got your back is astounding. The truth that He is revealing you to increase in His love overcomes the adversity’s sting.
You wonder if this love of God is how Jesus was so consistently settled in the purpose of the Father. He seemed to coast through the stings and attacks, until the night in the garden. Even after His battle in the garden that night, He still showed complete strength in His Spirit to lay low…… He won! Is that why You told me, Lord, to live in Your love…. to overcome the world?
There is vibrant life that you never knew before that is not visible but very much alive and is leading you closer in your relationship with God. You cannot see this new life, but it really is a gentle Force that cannot be stopped,….. not that you want this new life to stop…… This life of God in Christ Jesus, keeps increasing in you and from you…. though the world seems to be the same.
Each day, you are understanding the scripture that you are walking to glory to glory and to glory. There is no end to His love and strength as you learn to abide in His love! First, the seed, then the sprout, then the stalk, then the corn, then the kernels, then the seed sowing, and life repeats again and again from the seed—– The Word of God. Praise You God! Your Life in the Word of God never ends.
This is weird, but sometimes you actually seem to live in another sphere, a place that is Secret. This place is hidden from the natural eye, but you seem to dwell there. Sometimes, you even think this place where He is and now you dwell …. is heaven. Is that where I am with You? You think, we get to taste the place where our hearts already live yet we do not see? Please do not let anything drive me from this adventure in knowing You, God….Give me the tenacity, Lord, to coast through the stings from evil as You did, Lord. Give me more grace!
Things pertaining to the world, just have lost their interest to you. They aren’t that important as you once thought. Spending time with the Lord and learning is what you now desire because of this Life in the Spirit that flows in and guides you. You want more of it or is it you want more of the Lord? Or is the Holy Spirit directing you to want more of Him so that He gets more of you? You wonder why He always leaves you filled but wanting to know Him more….. There are so many pages to turn yet in the knowledge of God and His love….
Is His Love the consuming Fire of God? You know He is jealous over you. Especially since that one time, you thought you would go back to something that was not bad, but not the best. You remembered how He slammed the door by His wind loudly, then He followed it by a thunder clap! You remember how you shook a little from the reprimand from your Heavenly Father.
Is this what He means that Christ will be all and in all? His consuming presence is all I want….. He is becoming my all and I want to be all in Him,…… Is that what He means in the scripture? I want to know and experience everything about this Great God. I do not want let one page left unturned.
His love is consuming you, but you are still here but are different…. You live by a different Source…. What draws you to Him everyday is His unending love and His presence which teaches you more of Him. This Great Love, your God, the I AM is forever drawing you in His love which is His life. This is His Kingdom that never ends…..
So now we can say to Death and Hades……Where is your sting? Though destruction may come against our flesh, but, our life in Him, in His Spirit will never die! We will be in the Uncreated One’s heart, abiding in His Son. Where Christ will be all and in all for those that are born again from the Spirit of God. Christ is Victor over Death and Hades and we abide in Him.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world- our faith, (1 John 5:4). And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life, (1 John 5:20).
To You, My King, be all the glory and praise and honor and blessing forever and ever!Amen and Amen! Alleluia to Our God, the Divine Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!
You ask the Lord, please continue to show me – You. I want to keep learning of You. You fill me, Lord. There is none like YOU! Then, you realize….. because I love You!
