The Elite: An understanding heart Part 1 God speak to babes
Hi, I hope you're reading this blog today in good spirits. Jesus is always knocking at the door of our hearts wanting us to get to know Him better. Today I would like to share with you a few things that I have learned over the years of fellowship with the Father through His Son Jesus Christ.
First, let me ask you a few questions if that's okay with you. Have you ever really heard the audible voice of God? Have you ever seen God's kingdom? Would you like to experience God in your everyday life? Today, I am asking the Holy Spirit to teach us more about Jesus and quicken us to the kingdom of God.
John 3 (KJV)
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 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.
3 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.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Here we noticed a teacher of God's laws come to Jesus after he saw all the miracles Jesus did. Jesus then realized this man had been born-again of God's Spirit in order to notice that what was taking place in Jesus' ministry was God's kingdom being advanced.
When you are born of the Spirit of God you become acquainted with God by what you see and experience. You begin to realize and acquaint yourself with the Holy Spirit through His works. The Holy Spirit was present with every believer when we are awakened to Christ and His work. The Holy Spirit was there to help lead and guide you into all truth at your new birth. The knowledge of His will is an ever-growing understanding. See the prayer below that Paul prayed for the saints and new believers:
Colossians 1 (KJV)
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
What we know about God and his will is very limited. You can be a born-again believer and not even understand everything there is to know about God's ways. Just like Nicodemus, Jesus was actually telling him what had to happen in order to see what Nicodemus was seeing. There are some things about God that we perceive but that we don't understand completely. Just as a new born baby is born and new life is experienced. The child feels the parents touch for the first time. Just image babies hearing the voice of their father for the first time.
In the discussion Jesus begins to have with Nicodemus in the book of John Jesus describes how a person becomes aware of the Kingdom of God by becoming born again, This is so important to my understanding of how God deals with us as his children. We all start on our journey with so little understanding all we know is what we perceive through our born-again experience as babes in Christ. These experiences awaken our spiritual senses and they become knowings in our soul and spirit.
Romans 8 (KJV)
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. There is a supernatural birth in your spirit when you realize that God the Father loves you. There is a cry that comes from your heart to him. You can cry out to Jesus to come into your heart with the understanding that God the Father gave his only begotten son for you.
You will believe in your heart Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and has washed your life in his blood. He was raised from the dead for your justification making you righteous in him. Praise the Lord! This knowing or understanding is that you have become his child and that Jesus Christ now lives in you. This is witnessed and confirmed by the Holy Spirit. As you begin to fellowship with him he will begin to show you around the kingdom of God. There is so much to learn and experience as a new babe in Christ.
1 Peter 2 (KJV)
2 As newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
The word of God reveals Christ to us so we can grow in our understanding of this new birth experience is all about. The crown of thorns was placed on his head so that you could be free from mental bondage and stress. Jesus Christ has now given you his mind and life. There is a real and true understanding that is imparted to you as you meditate on what he accomplished for you on the cross. Christ not only wants you to perceive him but he wants that awakening to flourish into a greater understanding of him.
Start your Journey into God's kingdom by acknowledging God the Father in prayer. He will be glorified in Jesus Christ. Become thankful through your fellowship and communion that we get to have with the Father because of the sacrifice of the Son. The Holy Spirit will always glorify the Son Jesus Christ, who is the expressed image of the Father. Look into his eyes and sense his passion.
Keep praying with me that God will give me more grace to write. By God's amazing grace, I get to remain S.I.N.G.L.E.
Love, your sister in Christ.
