Reference John 3:3 and I Peter 1:22-23
As you begin to read this article, I wantyou to notice very closely that Jesus said that unless a man be born again thenhe could not see the kingdom of God. There is a teaching in the land today thatChrist is soon to come and set up his kingdom on this earth. This teaching issaying that the kingdom of God will be a kingdom that you can see with the natural eye, but Jesus very plainlymade it clear that one could not see the kingdom of God unless he was bornagain. We are told in Luke by Christ himself that the kingdom of God cometh notwith observation. (read Luke 17:20) According to what Christ said here it is very clear thatyou cannot see the kingdom of God unless you are born again of the water and ofthe Spirit. If the kingdom of God can be seen with the natural eye then Christmade a false statement when he said that the kingdom of God comes not withobservation. I for one absolutely do not believe that Christ made a falsestatement about not being able to see the kingdom of God with the natural eye.The teaching in the land today about Christ coming to this earth and setting upa literal kingdom that all could see is very plainly making a liar out ofChrist. Do you believe that Christ told a lie about it my friend? If the kingdomof God comes not with observation and that you must be born again to be able tosee it, why then is it a common teaching in the religious world today thatChrist is coming to this earth to set up a kingdom that will take over the ruleof the whole world?
My friend you cannot see the kingdom of God unless you havebeen born again of the water and of the Spirit as so stated in John 3:5. In order foryou to be able to see the kingdom of God you must be spiritually minded so thatyou can see the kingdom of God with your spiritual eyes. To see the kingdom ofGod with the spiritual eye means that you see it by faith. Faith my friend, isthe evidence of things not see with the natural eye. To see things by faithmeans that you can see things the natural eye cannot see. This is the same ashaving an extra sense besides the five you already have. A dog has a very keensense of hearing that the human being does not have. A dog can hear a very highpitched sound that you cannot hear. Faith is actually possessing a sense thenatural minded person does not have. By faith you can see things that noordinary human being can. In II Kings 6:15-17 we find that the prophet Elisha was compassed about withmany men of the kings army and Elisha's servant was scared and asked what theywere going to do. Elisha asked the Lord to open his servants eyes and show himthe host of angels that was compassed about the king's army and Elisha askedthe Lord to smite the king's army with blindness and the Lord did. By faithElisha saw the host of the Lord's army about him but his servant could not seethem with his natural eyes and so the Lord opened his spiritual eyes and showedhim the host of angels. Faith is revelation from God opening your spiritualeyes showing you things that the natural eye cannot see, nor can the naturalmind understand. In order to be able to see the kingdom of God you must be bornagain of the water and of the Spirit. To be born again is a work performed onan individual by the Holy Spirit. The common teaching in today's churches isthat you are born again when you accept Christ as your personal Saviour at thealtar. My friend do you actually believe that you become a new creature inChrist by your confession on the Lord Jesus as Lord and Saviour and that youcan then see the kingdom of God with your spiritual eyes? Are you aware of thefact that if you can then see the kingdom of God with your eyes of faith thenyou can actually enter into it and become a member of it and possess the powerthat it contains and reveals? My friend you do not possess the power that thekingdom of God reveals do you? You can't by faith do the works that Christ saidyou can do if you believe on him as so stated in John 14:12 can you? I knowfor a fact that you cannot based on the fact that it is because you have notbeen born again of the water and the Spirit. My friend why do you allow Satanto deceive you into thinking you are born again based only on the fact that youconfess to have accepted Christ as Lord and Saviour? How in the world can yougo to some church in your community that denies nine tenths of the Bible andyet confess to be born again Christians? Do you belong to a church thatmanifests the power of God or do you go to a church that denies it? Would youbelieve it my friend if I told you that the churches today are blasphemers ofGod's word instead of being doers of the word? To be born again means that youhave become a new creature in Christ and possess the power of God that theBible reveals you can have. You cannot be born again in an instant like today'schurches are teaching. Please allow their sick and helpless and powerlesscondition prove that this is a true statement instead of thinking that I amjust a person making a statement without having the facts and not knowing whatI am talking about. To be born again is a process that takes time and patience.To be born again of the water and of the Spirit is a process of your obedienceto the revealed word of truth. Do you believe that the church that you attendis teaching the revealed truth of the gospel of Christ? If you believe it iswhy then are you not in the kingdom of God manifesting the works that Christsaid you will if you believe on him as stated in John 14:12? You no doubtbelong to a church that teaches that the miracles and power of God was doneaway with at the death of the early apostles. Am I right about this? How inGod's name can you go to a church that teach this? The average church wouldbore me half to death if I went to them because they are so lifeless that itactually makes me sick to my stomache to hear them confess to be servants ofthe most high God and with the same breath deny that he is the same yesterday,today, and forever. If you truly believed in God and that he is a rewarder ofthem that diligently seek him, then you my dear friend would desire the word ofGod more than anything else in the world because the word of God will transformyou into a new creation in the Lord Jesus Christ placing you in the positionwhere you by faith can do many wonderful works that Christ promised to themthat believe in him. To believe in Christ, in order to do the works that hesaid you could do, means that you must receive the revealed word of truth andobey it and walk in it. Your obedience to truth is how you become a born againchild of God. The Spirit by the revealed word of truth transforms you into anew creature in Christ Jesus placing you in the position where you by faith cando many things through the power of God. Don't you desire this my friend? Whodo you think you are fooling with your penny-enny religion that you claim tohave by being a member of some denominational church? Can't you see thatdenominationalism is nothing but the puny works of man? God will give to youyour hearts desire if you obey his revealed word of truth. You must delight inhis law....(Psalms 1)
