[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, but youtiful day?
[00:00:07] Speaker B: I hope you're having a great day.
[00:00:08] Speaker A: Today and I hope you are excited today, because today is the day that the Lord hath made. We'll be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, Be happy to continually give God that sacrifice.
[00:00:23] Speaker B: Praise. Praise and thank him.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: I'm.
I'm still working on this Lord thing. And it's interesting to me because like I said, I was never interested in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.
I was always interested in Romans, through.
[00:00:37] Speaker B: Thessalonians, and in first and actually First John is really great too.
[00:00:41] Speaker A: But I was always kind of interested in that. And I never really worked on the word of Christ. And what makes it so interesting is that you have the laws and then you have Christ coming. And by his words, by what God told him to say, and he said it changed the entire dynamic of the Judean. I don't want to say religion, but what it is, what it means to be upright in front of God, what it is and what it means to be upright in front of God, to be righteous in God's eyes. He broke down the middle wall, the partition, by his words, which God told him to speak that now everyone has access to have God be their God. Both the Judeans and the Gentiles, those that weren't under Abraham's seed.
So I've been reading a lot about that, and I was in John, which I don't know why I like John.
[00:01:31] Speaker B: So much, but I enjoy John.
[00:01:32] Speaker A: If you go to John, chapter three, verse one, it says there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews or Judeans. 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.
We are. Listen, we are reading a testimony of the Acts of Jesus Christ.
What Christ did in that time, I can't even imagine if it was going on right now. Him healing people and raising people from the dead, I mean, it would just be insane. It would be absolute insanity.
So this guy saw that and he immediately gave God the glory. You have to be a prophet or something, because no one can do this without God. Verse 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.
And Nicodemus saith unto him, how can a man be born when he is old?
Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born? I think he was kind of scolding Jesus Christ at this point. If you're born, how can you be born again? Again? This is new information.
And this is what Christ said unto him. 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. Now you have to understand the history of all this before, when you. Before you can read this and really get to, like, have a broad understanding what this means.
When Adam was born, he was born soul, spirit. He was born body, soul and spirit, bodies from the earth, soul he has the living. That thing that goes from blood to blood is the thing that makes you living, breathing, and then spirit, which is the connection with God. Being able to connect with God because God is spirit, right? You can't. Your five senses cannot connect with God.
It's the spiritual aspect that we have reconnected once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ. When Adam transgressed against God, that connection was lost and severed. That's what it means to be dead. You have the body and a soul, but you don't have spirit unless you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, which came later. But anyways, he said, Nicodemus saith unto him, how can a man be born when he is old? Verse 5. And Jesus answered, verily, verily, I say unto you, unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Verse 6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the carnal nature, the five senses is the carnal nature in the five senses. And that which is born of the spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, it goes where it come.
The wind's going to go back into its circuits. And thou hearest the sound thereof, but can't not tell where it cometh and whether it goeth. So is everyone that is born of the spirit.
When you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you are born spiritually new.
You have the reconnection with God, the spoken word of the reconnection. If you go to Second Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 17, it says, Therefore if any man be remaining within the Messiah, there is a new creation of old things are passed away. Behold, they are become freshly new.
Once you believe in the Name of Jesus Christ. Romans 10, 9 and 10. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, you say it. If you believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead and confess that he is your Lord, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're spiritually new. You're a new creation. Verse 18 in all things are of God, who reconnected us to himself by the Christ and hath given to us the ministry or the testimony of that reconnection, to wit, that God was in the Messiah, or Christ reconnecting the world unto himself, not counting their trespasses or the falling short of the law. He hath placed in us the spoken word of the reconnection.
Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you are not under law. Stand. Stand fast in that liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free. And be not entangled again with the weight or the yoke of bondage or servitude to the law. You have the freedom to go where one wants. You are born spiritually new. You are reconnected with God. And that connection cannot come through the five senses. It cannot come through the fleshly nature. It comes the minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ. You are righteous and new. So spiritually new. A new creation.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that this life is spiritual. The weapons of our warfare have nothing to do with the five senses. It's spiritual. That's why you go to God in all things and you lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ.
When you pray, you pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you're fearful, you pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. All those things happen.
You have access to all that.
It's just focusing on the things that actually matter in your life.
Pray the big prayers today again. Pray the small prayers.
In all thy ways, acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path. Go to God. Pray lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ and have a beautiful time doing it. Have a great day today. God bless you and your family. And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Yeah. When the fog.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: Just for today and. And for everything that's going on. I pray that I get these chairs done and they get done today so I'm not. They're not weighing on me. And also that bench and then the big sofa that this.
[00:07:35] Speaker A: That we can knock this stuff out.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: And there's not a lot of pressure. I also pray for the following weeks, not that I'm going to worry about.
[00:07:40] Speaker A: Tomorrow, but that we can.
That it goes easy and that the.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: Travel is simple and we could just knock everything out and those other chairs go well.
[00:07:49] Speaker A: I thank you that we can go.
[00:07:50] Speaker B: To you in all situations and that you take care of us. I thank you so much for your word that we can rely on that word and kind of set it in our mind and renovate our thoughts that we're not living in fear, Father. At least I'm not living in fear. And I thank you again for the moments of my life and for the businesses and that you just take care of each and every person that are. That are. Are in them. And I thank you for the ability to go to you through your son. And yeah, I just thank you what he did. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and savior Christ Jesus.
