Ezekiel 36:26-27
King James Version
26 A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart
out of your flesh,
and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you,
and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments,
and do them.
What ends ALL confusion?
Being born again does.
All become clear.
All become joyful.
All become wonderful.
Clear, because now, you know GOD's laws.
Joyful, because now, you are saved by JESUS.
Wonderful, because now, your life has meaning.
Before GOD made me born again in 2019, I did usual research.
Read all the books I can.
Bought all the books I can.
Studied all the books I can.
Did I get anywhere?
No closer than when I first started.
NO ONE seemed to be able to CLOSE the "loop".
No one was able to give me ABSOLUTE knowledge.
So, GOD let me exhaust myself.
Allowing me to go around in circles.
Allowing me to study, anything but His Bible.
Not having work, or money, I kept on.
One day, I finally ran "empty".
Exhausted, I sat down, looked to Him, and surrendered.
I was totally out of answers.
I also committed to not sinning anymore.
Just so you know, I did not "trade".
I did not say, "I won't sin anymore, just so long as..."
Nope, did no such thing.
Did not even occur to me.
I had that much respect for GOD.
I was simply sick of self, and sin.
I did not want to sin anymore.
Turned out, THAT was the VERY statement, and moment, GOD waited for.
And that's when His SPIRIT finally led me to Scripture.
He made me open whatever Bible I had at home.
FIRST subject He led me to was prophecy, through Zechariah.
SECOND subject was the four gospels on JESUS.
THIRD subject was Genesis, where it all began.
And when I started reading Genesis, I was committed to studying the Bible.
The first two verses, alone, captivated my heart, mind, body, spirit, and attention!
I knew I was on to "something" --
Genesis 1:1-2
King James Version
1 In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form,
and void;
and darkness
was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters.
That, too, was my VERY FIRST encounter with the "SPIRIT of GOD":
"And the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters."
WOW...
That made me imagine it EXACTLY as GOD wanted me to see it.
He knows I have a childlike heart.
He leads me to a verse, and an article is born.
More often than not, a whole blog is born.
May I write fast enough for SPIRIT.
May I share fast enough for JESUS.
These 62 months have been a flurry of non-stop writing.
Only because this is the task given me.
To write about Scripture.
To write about prophecy.
To write about the Triune GOD.
To write about you.
You should try being born again sometime.
All nonsense drops.
Common sense shows up.
Your heart beams in peace, love, joy, excitement, and contentment.
Something the world can never give you.
But only JESUS could.
What, as they say, are you waiting for?
Pray that GOD opens your heart now.
Become born again, as I did.
ACCEPT the LORD's INVITATION:
John 3:3-8
King James Version
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.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
so is every one
that is born of the Spirit.
