FROM WHERE THE WIND BLOWS
Brothers and Sisters grace and peace to you in the name of God the Father And the Son and The Holy Spirit. I thank God for this wonderful opportunity to share His Word with you concerning the new birth. Lord I pray that you be with me as I share your word with my brothers and sisters and with my friends that don’t know you concerning the forgiveness of sin. Lord open everyone’s hearts and minds so that they may understand and come to know Jesus , it’s in Jesus name that I pray Amen.
It wasn’t a question of whether he believed in God, to Nicodemus it was a matter of understanding how could this be? He felt that everything he witness was somehow in conflict with what he understood concernng God. After He saw the miracles Jesus performed and heard the things that Jesus said, Nicodemus new that something was missing in his understanding. Under the cloak of darkeness he secretly came to the only one that could answer his questions. He said to Jesus “Rabbi we know you are a teacher come from God; for no man could do these miracles that you do except God be with him9John 3:2).. Jesus didn’t need for him to tell him what he was there for, so He cut to the core. We can infer from this that God don’t have to wait on us to verbalize what is on our minds before He respond to us.
Jesus knew that which was on Nicodemus mind although he didn’t come right out and say it. Jesus said to Him “you must be born again”. Regardless of the fact that he was very religious man, and very well educated, he must be born a second time. Nicodemus was perplexed, He could not see what Jesus was saying as possible. It defys reason to even imagine a man could reinter his mother’s womb and be born again. Jesus explained to Him, in order to enter this world you must be born of the flesh. In order to enter heaven you must be born of the spirit. Nicodemious became bewildred and said “how could th be?’
Jesus pointed out to Nicodemus that when He explain natural thing to him and he didn’t understand , he wouldn’t be able to understand spiritual things, Jesus told him He is the only one who has come down from heaven and is going back. Jesus revealed to him that only He was qualified to tell him about things that is happening in heaven. In order to enter the kingdom of heaven you must be born of Water and Spirit. Human beings only can produce human beings. Only the Holy Spirit can give new life from heaven. A person must be washed by water in order to cleanse their natural bodies. Like wise in order to be born again one must be washed by the water of the word of God and receive new life from the Holy Spirit.
You do not know where the wind comes from or where it goes nor can you direct its path. The wind goes where it pleases to go. You can not see it but you can track its’ path from where its’ been. So it is with the Holy Spirit, He gives life to who he pleases. You can’t see nor can you direct His path but you can tell where he has been for He gives life to those who has been washed by the word of God. To be cleansed by the word of God you must believe that Jesus is the Son of God according to the scriptures, He died on the cross for our sin, and God raised Him from the dead on the 3rd day of His death according to the scripture. If you believe this statement the Holy Spirit will generate in you a new life, a new spirit That will never die according to the scripture. Lord thank you for the opportunity, I ask that you bless those who read this message, It’s in Jesus name I pray Amen.
My friends thank you for taking the time to read this message, I hope God gives you the understanding you need to believe, your life depends on it. Brothers and sister I hope that this message has increased your understanding and encouraged your hearts to lead others to the hope you have in Jesus. If God has caused you to believe Let me know blog my post, let us rejoice together. If this message has encouraged you Let me know blog my post.
God Bless you,
Love always
