The Holy Spirit brings us the words from our Lord Jesus Christ, so we can hear them!!"Jesus said, You must be Born again".
A.) The Holy Spirit of God births the spirit of a (Believer) into God/
"God is A Spirit".
Result?
"New Creation in Christ"
"Son-Daughter of God"
"Seated in Heavenly places"
"having been Translated from darkness.......To Light""
"one with God'"
If we do hear Him by faith, then yes, we are a new creation - someone who not only has us inside them but also the Holy Spirit. And that means we are counted as sons and daughters of the most high. And that gives us access to the King who is the Light. And to so to say we are born again is a correct thing to say.
Yet if you have all that it is because you seek the Lord and His voice. As already covered, you are putting all the benefits before the one thing need, which is seeking Jesus Christ and His voice!!!
And so do you have all that? Are you born again? If born again you are hearing the sound of the wind (the Holy Spirit) and testifying to that - As Jesus explained to Nicodemus. Yet that hearing the sound of the wind and testifying to that is not what I ever find in your posts!!!
My mom had a sister who was considered a high priestess in a new age movement. They felt god was spirit, and felt the were the light, and they had the holy spirit, but they did not claim to know Jesus Christ and hear from Him. They were saying a lot of religious things but did not know Jesus Christ and that He was their Lord who gave them instructions!!
I read what you write, and see that it all sounds very religious and have alot of trouble finding out where you are hearing from Jesus Christ and actually know Him as your Lord. I also know that my Lord, who I believe and know as Jesus Christ, the King of kings had me started posting on this thread. That was His instructions after Him and I went on a walk together the other day.
My advice to you based upon what I hear is: To actually start seeking His voice and listening to what He tells you. Go on a nice long walk with Him and converse with Him!!
If you start really doing that your posts will start sounding like you are into having conversations with Him. They won't sound like religous statements, but will be about getting others to listen to Him. Then you and I could have different conversations, and that about the neat things He says to us personally.
He once told me "My people working together is like putting make-up on the bride".
This thread is about you saying we must be Born Again, and me pointing out that means we hear from Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit!
So you are saying that if a person is Born Again you get the Holy Spirit - concluding that are are born again so you must have the Holy Spirit!
I am saying that I hear Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit so I am born again - a new creation in Christ.
I can see that I am a new creation in Christ because He does in fact talk to me via the Holy Spirit. But I can't see where you are, because you don't promote actually hearing from Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit. Instead you promote those Christian catch phrases; like Born Again, New Creation in Christ, "Son-Daughter of God", "Seated in Heavenly places" - as opposed to actually turning people to Jesus Christ to hear from Him.
You focus on all the benefits from knowing Him but don't actually seem to know Him!!
So I tell you that you don't get the benefits in the cart unless you first know the Lord who brings that cart with Him!!!
Jn 10:1-3 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. “But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. “To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
It seem you are missing the voice who calls us by name!! You are not trying to climb in some other way are you?
