I suggest that you seek and search the Lord, and cultivate intimacy with Him. Doing this is the start of your miracle and other manifestation of His glory: self-prosperity, BLESSINGS, the Sozu life no missing and lacking! Wholeness! Miracles, signs, wonders, marvels, and supernatural life.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” (KJV).
The term “born again” can be intimidating to some people. Besides, I’ve never heard this word before, even as a Christian in a different denomination. Even though I was studying the Bible at the time, it is as old as the New Testament of the Bible. JESUS made it famous in His days on earth when He talked to a man named Nicodemus. You can read the story in chapter three of the Gospel of John.
Nicodemus was worried that people would find out he was talking to JESUS. He came at night so no one would see him during that time.
John 3:2-3 says, “…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 I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (KJV).
God is a big God, and His ways are mysterious. Still, the truth is that we must be spiritually reborn to experience the kingdom of God. JESUS talked about the mystery of salvation, comparing it to the blowing wind. As we hear the sound of the wind, we can’t see where it’s coming from or where it’s going. In verse 8, JESUS says that’s how it is with those born of the Spirit.
Then John 3:9-10 says, “Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, How can these things be? JESUS answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?” (KJV).
Nicodemus didn’t even know he was the ruler of the Jews. He attended the finest schools of his day and was a ruler of the Jews, yet he couldn’t comprehend this fundamental kingdom truth.
So, JESUS was telling Nicodemus how to be sure to see the kingdom of God by telling him that we must be born again. That’s the reason why Christians use that term.
John 3:5-7 says, “JESUS answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” (KJV).
The Bible teaches that unless we have experienced this new birth, we can’t get into the kingdom of heaven. JESUS made the announcement even more vital. He said, “Ye must be born again.” (John 3:7). There is nothing indefinite about that. He would enter the Kingdom of God and must be born again.
Salvation is not just repairing the original self. It’s self-recreation of God in righteousness (right standing with God) and true holiness.
John 20:31 says, “But these (the Bible) are written that ye might believe that JESUS is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name” (KJV.
I will extract some of these from the book written by Reverend Billy Graham entitled “Peace With God.” This book was my eye-opener, and I was converted by reading it. I found this when I looked in the bookshelf stacked with old books after the worship service in the Uniting Church of Christ in Edmonton, Queensland. Perhaps those books placed there were donated by the pastor or given by others.
I want you to read this letter from Reverend Billy Graham because I found JESUS CHRIST in this book for my salvation. You may see Him in this book and the book I am writing. If you picked up the book anywhere else, please don’t take it for granted; it may be your first step on your faith journey. It’s not a coincidence or accident. Something is driving you in your sacred faith journey. I have a desire and a passion for writing Christian books because I have also found inspiration in the writings of men and women of God. Therefore, I also desire to share this book, as it reaches souls through books.
