1 | Born from above, born of the Spirit? | John 3:6 | Eagles Eye | 27969 | ||
I believe that regeneration as mentioned with the Nicodemus experience with Jesus (John 3:1-21)is indeed a process. In brief, I believe when I man makes a confession of Faith (Confesses with mouth/Believes in heart) that immediately his spirit is regenerated (born again) Adamic nature begins to die and the Spirit man begins to come alive, though according to 1 Thess 5:23 there are 3 seperate entities within your nature (Spirit, Soul, and Body) If spirit is immediately regenerated then what occurs with the remaining. I believe according to scripture that the soulish nature (or mind) must be transformed. That is where the "Continual" Baptismal of the Holy Spirit comes into effect (Acts 1:8) Empowering to fulfill purposes. If according to scripture we are commanded to renew our minds, I believe that inevtiably there is an end to "transform"... if this word is used in proper context, there must be an end result which is transformation. Which I believe is all founded upon the principles of intimate fellowship with Jesus (John chapter 15-17) Which we ultimately join in union with Christ and join in scripture 1 Cor. 2:16 "...but we have the MInd of Christ" Finally there is the last entity, which is the "Body". I personally believe that there is regeneration power available through the Blood of Christ to complete this work on earth. I call this entering in the Baptism of Resurrection and becoming those unveiled Sons of God. This is all made available through Christ's DEATH/RESURRECTION which is HIs reconciling work.(Romans 5, 1 Cor 15:20-28 Colossians 1:15-25, and which we are ministers of Reconciliation to reconcile all men back to God 2 Cor.5:11-21) Other ref.. Philippians 3:1-21 (join with sufferings, die, and join in resurrection.. transform our lowly bodies) Romans 5-8, Eph. 1-3, I implore that you join in agreement with Pauls prayer in Ephesians 1(that you would receive the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation and that your eyes would be flooded with Light that you might know your inheritance in Christ)Also, read 1 Cor 14:8-12 not with an eschatology mentality, because I do not believe there is any evidence to suggest such, but understand when we truly behold His face in our prayer closet that our Adamic nature will break off and truly we will fulfill 2 Cor 3 and all the way back to Gen. where we were transfomred into His image. If you attempt to process with reason and logic originated from men's traditional views then you will not grasp this, but if you go boldy before the throne of Grace with an unveiled heart, like me you to will be transformed and begin to truly see the mysteries of heaven release in the earth.. last thing.. ask the Lord what He truly meant by "the Lord's prayer" Kindgom Come / your will be done in earth as it is in Heaven... |
