What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:6 TLV
“If I asked you whether you live based on what you see with your physical eyes or from a deeper sense of who you are within, how would you answer?
How do you typically respond to the circumstances you face in life?
Now, imagine this: What if I told you that you can live your best life by embracing a transformation that comes from choosing to work together with God through the pathway offered by Jesus Christ?
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6 NKJV
A life filled with deeper meaning, and purpose goes beyond what can be seen with the mind’s eye. Life is a journey filled with many processes. Every day we are faced with choices and decisions. As we grow closer in relationship with God, we can experience a profound inner change or awakening that alters our current view of life. We undergo a significant transfiguration of old patterns and behaviors upon choosing the Way. Beliefs make an exit as we arise to serve a Higher purpose. This new purpose starts with a choice that stands within the heart of man.
“For I am the Lord, I do not change;
Malachi 3:6 NKJV
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Genesis 2:7 NKJV
Man was brought to life through God’s breath; therefore, we carry the essence of God in us. Thus says the scripture:
for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Phillipians 2:13 NKJV
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
2 Corinthians 6:16 NKJV
When we consciously decide to awaken, transformation begins. The choice is made clear with deciding to choose God above all. This choice requires active participation.
A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9 NKJV
Embarking on this new season in life reflects what someone truly desires within. Growth is a process that leads to surrender and freedom begins through a life surrendered.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8: 31-32 NKJV
Freedom opens the spiritual eyes and allows the revelation of who we truly are to become apparent. Only then will we know the truth and be set free!
Confessing Jesus as Lord through an act of free will begins the journey of surrender. By surrendering, we open ourselves to being led by the Spirit. Our life’s pilgrimage then becomes a continuous process of what living out the choice of salvation means within the believer.
Being born of the Spirit involves learning to live from the inside out.
May God bless you as the journey begins!
“Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV
