Feel Discouraged–a Word of the Lord

January 9, 2018May 4, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, creative power, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, healing, healing power, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, Power of the Holy Spirit, standing in faith, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

The Spirit of God says to you this day, “You feel discouraged. Your plans have not worked out for you. You wonder where I am. Why have I not responded to you? You are filled with many questions and even more doubt than before. Here is what I would say to you concerning these matters.

Number one, when you come to Me, come to Me in faith. Faith believing that I do listen and I do care. If you would learn to seek My face at all times you would learn to recognize my voice, and know that I am speaking to you. More times than not, you choose not to listen to that still small voice wooing you to repentance. Repentance from unbelief and doubt.

Another reason your plans have not worked out for you, is just that–they are your plans, not Mine for you. You have not taken the time to consider what My plan for you is. Some of you, don’t want to know My plan for you. But if you would trust Me, you would come to the realization that I have designed you for a specific purpose and with that purpose is a specific plan. And to accomplish the plan and to fulfill the purpose you need to consult Me for direction. My plan is not to harm you, but to prosper you. Get the master plan from the Master.

I have promised you that I will never leave you , nor forsake you. My word is firm, it is truth, and I have not left you, you have wandered after the lusts of your own flesh. Flesh and spirit do not mix. Flesh is carnal, it’s temporal, but the spirit is eternal. Seek the eternal plan and the earthly plan will fall into its place.

Learn to seek Me with all your heart, might and soul. Lean not onto your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Me, and I will direct your paths. I will lead you down the eternal paths of righteousness. And this righteousness of My Son, will lead you to the way of the everlasting life.

Be like the deer who pants for the water, and when he reaches the shores of the Living Waters he drinks freely until he is full and overflowing. Allow your heart to pant for My heart, allow it to beat to the rhythm of everlasting life that is found only in Me. Do not seek the temporal things of this World, but be satisfied only with Me and My ways.

Don’t crowd Me out of your heart with these earthly ways. Clear your schedules, and make room for Me. I am the only one that can satisfy you with the goodness of life. The life that I have prepared solely for you with Me.

If you will seek Me with all your heart and in all your ways, you will find Me. And in Me, and only in Me will you discover greatness, not your’s, but Mine. For greater am I in you, than satan who is in this world. It is from of this greatness within you that you will be satisfied with the plans and purposes I have created for you to fulfill.

Some of you are walking completely in the opposite direction than I had planned. And you are unfulfilled and unhappy. Others have veered off just a little, but eventually even veering off the straight and narrow pathway I have designed for you leads you farther and farther away from Me, farther away from the plan and purpose I have for you. And unhappiness gains a foothold in your life.

Turn back to Me My wayward child. And this time, allow Me to lead you and guide you into all truth, into a land of milk and honey, the promised land I have designed especially for you. Turn back, before it’s too late.

Remember, I love you with an everlasting love. My love for you is unconditional. This does not mean you can do whatever you please, but that I love you.

Love your Heavenly Father, your Heavenly Dad.”

Has Your Flame for God Grown Dim?

January 8, 2018May 4, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, creative power, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, healing, healing power, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, Power of the Holy Spirit, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

Has your flame for God gone out? Are you a Christian in name only? Do you say one thing about your walk with God, but do another? Will your example lead others to a living relationship with Jesus? What will it take for you to get right with God again?

These are some tough questions, but we must examine our own hearts and repent from a lukewarm attitude towards our Savior. Let’s ask ourselves the first question, “Has my flame for God gone out?” If so, why has it gone out? Usually it is because of sin issues, and sin issues come in all shapes and sizes. But no matter the shape and size of the sin, without repentance it just produces more sin, and sin separates us from God.

“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear”, Is. 59:2.

Are you a Christian in name only? Unfortunately many people are. I remember years ago, we were hosting a particular team from a Church in the States. And I had asked the team members to share how they came to Christ. We were listening to these wonderful God encounters that lead to the salvation of these people until we came to one of the co-leaders of the team. And this person shared in front of everyone that her salvation was a private matter. We all knew immediately what that meant. This person that was asked to be an assistant team leader was not a true believer, but in name only. So it is better that you deal with this question now, and in the privacy of your own home, then in front of a group of people. Because just as it happened to this woman, your sin of unbelief will find you out.

Another reason why your flame is dim is that you say one thing concerning your faith, but what you do does not line up with your words. In other words, you’re living a lie. And according to the Word, truth sets you free, see John 8:33. And living a lie keeps you in bondage.

I was ministering at a Church and was giving an altar call to receive Jesus, and all these people started to raise their hands to make a decision to receive Jesus as Savior. I felt impressed to turn to the choir which was quite large, and one by one they started to raise their hands to give their lives to Christ. I could tell by the silence in the congregation that the people were surprised that these people were not already saved. But I see this all too often, members within the choir talk, or in this case, they sing the right words, but their hearts are far from right relationship with God. Obviously, you need to deal with this foundational truth first.

And let me be frank here with you, it is not enough to know about God. It’s not enough to believe that there is a God, for even demons believe that there is a God, they know there is a God. But they had rejected, turned their backs against God in rebellion with lucifer, and then it was too late for them, and they were eternally lost. You don’t want to be caught in the end of your life thinking you’re right with God because after all you attend a local fellowship or are involved in service at a local Church, and then hear Jesus say to you, “I don’t know you, depart from Me.”

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matt. 7:21-23.

Another question to ask yourself is, “Will my example lead people to receive Jesus as their Savior?” Once, a young man came with us on a mission trip, and after he had been back at his home in the USA I noticed he had posted an ungodly post on social media. I immediately sent this young man a private message and asked him why he had done this. His response was lame and said he did this so that his lost friends would be able to identify with him and that when they needed prayer they would turn to him for help. I responded to this weak excuse and said that at this point if his friends wanted someone to pray with them that he would be the last choice, or not even a choice to turn to in a time of need. People recognize hypocrisy when they see it. And the Bible is clear we are not to blend into the World, but we are to be separate from it.

“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them”, Matt. 7: 18-20.

And for the final question, “What will it take for you to get right with God again?” The answer is repentance. This is more than feeling sorry because your sin has found you out, but that you ask God for forgiveness and make the decision to repent, make a 180 degree turn and never return to this sin again. And this is what it takes to get back into right standing with him –repentance.

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord”, Acts 3:19.

His Righteous Right Hand

January 5, 2018May 4, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, creative power, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, fear, healing, healing power, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, Power of the Holy Spirit, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

The prophetic word I sense in my spirit to share with you is a word of encouragement that comes from His throne of grace towards you. He says to you, “My righteous right hand is always for you, never against you. I will uphold you when all else fails. I will provide for you if you will allow Me too. I will defend you in the spirit of truth. When the wiles of the enemy rage against you, raise up the standard of the blood. You do not need to fear the enemy and the plans he has formed against you, because greater am I, Jesus, in you then he satan in the world. As you press into Me, you will find the freedom and joy that you so long for. I intercede on behalf of your welfare. I truly do care. And it is out of this care that I demonstrate my unconditional love for you in all ways, and at all times.” Thus say the Father and Jesus to you this day.

Make the Devil Tremble –Pray

January 4, 2018June 25, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, faith, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, Power of the Holy Spirit, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

There are times when God’s people refrain from entering into prayer because they do not believe that their prayers will be heard, or their words are not grand enough for the Lord to listen to. They fear they are not forgiven of past sins, and many other reasons. And this is exactly the plan of the enemy, satan to whisper lies to you so that you will not use this powerful weapon of warfare–prayer. But don’t you listen to that lying thief. If prayer wasn’t so powerful he wouldn’t spend so much of his time to convince you otherwise.

I read a book many years ago called, “Touch the World Through Prayer”, by Wesley L. Duewel. It’s been many years since I read the book and I can’t remember anything about it except for the following, “The devil trembles when he sees God’s weakest child upon his knees.” I say, “Amen!” to this quote.

So, the next time the devil has you hoodwinked into thinking that your prayers aren’t important, quote a few of the following Scriptures at him. And then pray in faith, believing that your prayers really do make a difference.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land, 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them, Mk. 11:24.

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth, Ps. 145: 18.

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered, Rom. 8:26.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Jude 1:20.

Let’s do just that now–pray.

Father God, in the mighty name of Your Son, Jesus, I pray. I pray in faith and thank You that You hear me when I pray in faith. You put importance upon my supplications. When I pray things happen in the supernatural realm and turn the natural world around me upside down.

I thank You, that through Your love and mercy that I can pray for my loved one and You will forgive them of their sin that does not lead to eternal death.

I thank You, Holy Spirit that I can build myself up when I pray in tongues. And I also thank You that when I don’t know how to pray through a situation, that while I pray in tongues You pray through me the perfect will of the Father.

Father God, how great a gift You have given to me, the ability to access the throne of Your grace, anytime, and anyplace.

In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

Joy Unspeakable

January 3, 2018May 4, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, creative power, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, fear, healing, healing power, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, Power of the Holy Spirit, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing, testimonies

There is a joy that Christians can have that does not come from this world. It comes from the depths of our redemption. No matter what happens while on this earth, we possess this unspeakable joy and it wells from deep within. Knowing that in the end of all things we are going to be with our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.

“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls” 1 Peter 1:6-9.

You may not understand what I am talking about. But I tell you the truth when I say it comes from knowing Him, not about Him, but having relationship, fellowship with Him. This joy has carried me through a mountain of sorrows and trials that you will never hear spoken from my lips. I take my deepest hurts straight to the Father in the name of Jesus. I work through earth’s pain in the realm of the Spirit. And it truly is He who makes me laugh.

Some people accuse me of laughing too much. I say, “You can never laugh too much.” This laughter is an expression of my faith working it’s way into the realm of joy for me. And actually I will go farther with this and say that this laughter is a vocabulary. And the Holy Spirit makes me laugh so hard that it hurts physically.

When the pressures of this life are too much to bear for me, I start to laugh. Way back yonder, when the laughter movement hit the Church, my husband and I were on the mission field. We didn’t have internet back then, and what was available was not efficient enough to rely on for communication. But it was back then when everyone was rolling in the isle in hysteria together with the Holy Spirit, that the Spirit was hovering over us as well and I found my joy, and strength again in the Holy Spirit.

It was a time of great change for us in the ministry, we were taking in boys off the streets to live with our family and it was not an easy task. It was spiritual warfare, one-on-one. But it was this unspeakable joy I had found deep in my relationship with the Holy Spirit that carried me through many trials and even greater sorrows. I will never take laughter for granted. And I will not cease to laugh with the Spirit of God.

It was through this spiritual weapon of laughter that the Holy Spirit dropped upon me and my son that chased a way a legion of demons that tried to over take our home via a boy from the streets. It was the most terrifying situation I have ever been in, and all I could do was pray in another spiritual gift that I speak often of, tongues. And while my son and I prayed with all of our might to step back into the natural realm and overtake this spirit of fear that was attacking us head on with a couple thousand demons, out of nowhere, actually out of the throne room of God came this supernatural gift of laughter that chased a legion of manifested demons from our midst.

This is the joy unspeakable that I mention here. It is not a feeling, but a spiritual force, a supernatural weapon that is developed in the refinery of the presence of our mighty God, Jehovah. And I pray you find His joy today. In fact, let’s pray about this now.

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I intercede for all my readers that they will too find this joy that I speak about. That they will discover the powerful weapon they have been given to overcome the pain, stress and trials of this world. That they will be able to take the enemy head on and chase a way a legion or more of satan’s destructive monsters, and send the demon force running away for the fear of hearing the Lion of Judah roar with laughter through one of His servants.

Lord God, You have given us a joy that is unspeakable with human words. And it comes from the center of Your will for Your people. That we are more than conquerors in this world. That this earth cannot bind us to silence with their threats because deep from within us, from the depths of our being is a well-spring of Your joy that is available for us whenever we need it, whenever we want it.

Spirit of God, laugh through them. Allow them to experience Your joy, not occasionally but daily, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Pray for God’s Comfort

January 2, 2018August 24, 2018 Becky Dvorak Christian Living, faith

God’s Word is clear that we will pass through difficult times on this earth, not because He wills pain and sorrow for us, but that we live in a fallen world. “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world,” Jn. 16:33.

But no matter the loss, whether by death, divorce, financial difficulty, or other we have His promises to remain with us and comfort us during times of confusion, fear and sorrow.

Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me, Ps. 23:4, AMP.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, Ps. 46:1.

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning, Ps. 30:5.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds, Ps. 147:3.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted, Mt. 5:4.

PRAY TO GOD FOR COMFORT

And we are to pray and seek His help during these painful times, “I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your word to Your servant”, Ps. 119:76.

Let’s pray according to His Word today.

Father God,

I call out to you during this time of distress. I ask You , Holy Spirit for your comfort during this most troublesome time. According to Your will, show me Your way to overcome sorrow.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

WORD OF THE LORD

The Spirit of God would say to you this day, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you. I have promised to remain with you at all times. You can depend upon Me to see you through this time of tragedy in your life. Lean upon Me, I will hold you up when you feel you can’t. Trust Me, gain your strength from Me to face each new day.”

Leave Your Failures Behind

December 29, 2017May 4, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, faith, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ

You want to move forward, but you can’t seem to get over your past failures. But God says that it is time to leave your failures behind and move forward with Him. No matter what those failures are, it’s time to trust God and fulfill your destiny in Him.

Let’s talk about some common failures that people make, and hold them up to the light of the Word, and see if we can move past the pain of them and into something better.

Your business has failed and it has caused a real financial mess, and great stress upon you, your marriage, and upon your family. Do you give up on your dream? Let’s look at Edison and all the times he failed before he had success. Edison and his team of researchers designed and tested more than 3,000 models of bulbs between 1878 and 1880. In November 1879, Edison filed a patent for an electric lamp with a carbon filament. It took him 3,000 tries at a dream before it came to pass. Do we remember him as a man that failed 2,999 times or for the the 3,000th time he succeeded?

God says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope”.

How many times a day does a toddler fall and get back up? Because he or she falls do we call this child a failure? No, it’s the normal process to learn how to stand up and walk.

The word of the Lord tells us in Psalm 37:23-24 that “the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand”.

You’re discouraged because you have tried over and over again to break a terrible habit, and when you fail you feel guilt ridden. But even though it hurts to fail, should you allow the enemy, the devil and his demons, yourself, or misunderstanding people to beat you up for your past or present failures?

“He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth— praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord”, Ps. 40:2-3.

I thank the Lord many times that He pulled me up and out of the pit of the world. Foolishly, I got caught up in the ways of the world, not because I wanted to, but because I was naive and did not understand the dangers this world had to offer. I was 18 years old and my brother’s Christian seminary friends told him to stop praying for his baby sister because she was too far into the world and would never turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord, he did not heed their ungodly counsel. I actually came into the divine presence of the Lord and my life was forever changed just months after my brother was told to give up all hope for me.

A woman is newly married for the second or third time, should we join ranks with the enemy and beat on her with our judgmental words and negative actions? Where is the compassion of the Lord in our lives? Do we really know all the facts behind the situation? Or should we be supportive of the positive changes she has made in life and let her move forward with God?

Your teenage son has wrecked havoc on your family with his rebellion. Does this mean you give up on him? Or should you seek the Lord more on his behalf? If you were him what would you desire for your parents to do for you? Is it time to seek outside help for him?

Your wayward daughter has brought disgrace upon your name. What do you do? Do you verbally beat her up daily? Is this going to woo her back into the loving arms of the Father? Or do you need to seek the Lord and find the spiritual key to open up her heart towards you again to lead her back to God?

A pastor or elder of the Church falls into sin, sins that many of you are secretly caught up in. It’s not right, and yes, there are consequences to pay, but when is the person released from our unforgiveness and vengeance? When do we allow them to leave their failures behind and begin their walk with the Lord again?

God doesn’t desire for us to do wrong. Sin separates us from Him–this is truth, but the greatest truth of all is that “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”, Rom. 5:8.

Who is the author of the Book of Romans? The Apostle Paul is. He wrote at least 13 books of the New Testament. And how rich in godly wisdom are these 13 letters penned by the Holy Spirit through a man that has a past filled with great failures against God and the Church. But did he allow his wicked past to prevent him from moving forward with the power of the Spirit? No. Do you think he had to overcome his thoughts and the judgemental opinions of others to move forward? Yes, he did. Do you think the enemy left this ex-terrorist alone? No, he had a thorn in the flesh, a demon that was sent to buffet, beat him up, (see 2 Corinthians 12:7).

In all of life’s failures, you are not to give up on life, or on yourself, or your loved ones, but Philippians 3:13-14 does tell us what we are to do, “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Overcome Fear this Year

December 28, 2017June 25, 2018 Becky Dvorak Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, faith, fear

People fear many things such as death, sickness, disease, germs, darkness, lack of provision, being alone, rejection, bugs, spiders, bats, snakes, and the list goes on and on. Fear is very real, and it is more than a negative emotion, it’s spiritual. Let’s see what the authority of the Scriptures has to say concerning fear and how to overcome its rage against you, be encouraged with a Word from the Lord, and pray this prayer and get free from fear this coming year.

FEAR IS A SPIRIT

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind, 2 Tim. 1:7.

WHO DO WE WRESTLE AGAINST?

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places, Eph. 6:12.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go, Joshua 1:9.

In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you, Is. 54:14.

MEASURES TO TAKE TO OVERCOME FEAR

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth, Col. 3:2.

Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you, 1 Pet. 5:7.

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, 1 Cor. 14:4a.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things, Phil. 4:8.

THE RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST ARE RECREATED TO BE:

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion, Prov. 28:1.

AUTHORITY OVER FEAR

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you, Lk. 10:19.

GOD IS WITH YOU

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? Ps. 118:6.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?, Rom. 8:31.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Ps. 27:1.

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand,’ Is. 41:10.

SEEK HIS PEACE

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, Phil. 4:7.

WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO YOU INSTEAD OF FEAR

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid, Jn. 14:27.

DO NOT FEAR TOMORROW

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble, Matt. 6:34.

CAN FEARFUL THINGS SEPARATE YOU FROM THE LOVE OF GOD?

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord, Rom. 8:38-39.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love, 1 Jn. 4:18.

SEEK THE LORD AND BE DELIVERED FROM FEAR

I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears, Ps. 34:4.

A WORD OF THE LORD

And the Spirit of the Lord would say to you this day, “Why do you continue to live in fear? Do you not know that I am forever near? I will never leave you, nor forsake you. I have given My angels charge over you to protect you. I have sent My Son, Jesus to break the bondage of fear. So why do you continue to bind yourself to its wickedness? My Holy Spirit is with you to lead you and guide you into all truth. The truth in My Word will set you free. Come under the safety of My wings, do not leave the perimeters of My presence. Carry my presence with you wherever you go. I love you with an everlasting love, and its My perfect love that casts away all fear.” Thus is My word for you this day.

LET’S PRAY

Dear Holy Spirit,

Teach me how to be free from this spirit of fear, how to overcome the attacks of this evilness in my life. I seek You and Your deliverance this day.

In Jesus’ name, I pray,

Amen.

What Does it Mean to be Born-Again?

December 27, 2017May 18, 2022 Becky Dvorak Christianity, faith

Q: What does it mean to be born-again?

Perhaps you’ve heard others speak of being born-again, and you don’t understand what they mean by this term.

“There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus said to 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?”

Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” (For the full account of Nicodemus read John 3: 1-21).

Perhaps, you are like Nicodemus, and you do not know what it means to be born-again. There was a time in my life I did not understand this either, but I wanted to understand. And that is when someone shared the Good News of Jesus with me, like I am with you.

Someone that has been born-again first believes in their heart and then confesses with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”, Jn. 3:16. And Romans 10:8-10 explains this to us, “But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

And they pray to Him, and Him only, and repent or ask Him to forgive them of their sins, (wrong thoughts and actions). When we pray for salvation or for any other reason we pray to Jesus only. “Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them”, Heb. 7:25.

We are to be honest to God and confess our sins to Him, and then He does what only He can do, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”, 1 Jn. 1:9.

You say to yourself, “But I’m not a sinful person. I’m good, honest, kind and considerate of others.” You may be a good natured person, but the Bible says the following about all people in this matter. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”, Rom. 3:23. Because of the original sin with Adam and Eve, we live in a fallen world and are all born into sin, “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—“, Rom. 5:12.

But we have a High Priest in Jesus who understands all of our shortcomings. “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin”, Heb. 4:15. And He loves us so much, “that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”, Rom. 5:8.”

The beauty of Salvation is this, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new”, 2 Cor. 5:17. And nothing or no one can separate us from His love, “neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”, Rom. 8:38-39.

When we truly repent from a sincere heart He does not hold our sins against us, “For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us”, Ps. 103: 11-12.

By the redemptive blood of Jesus your sins have been washed away and your spirit has become clean, “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool”, Is. 1:18.

And let’s end with this final verse from Revelation 3:5, “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.” Is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life?

Ask yourself the following questions now.

Do I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the one and only way to salvation?
Have I invited Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior?
Have I prayed and asked Him to forgive me of my sins?
Am I sure that my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life?

If you can answer yes to these questions above you are born-again. You are a member of God’s eternal family. You will inherit eternal life. And yes, your name is written down in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

A PRAYER OF SALVATION

Father God,

I come humbly before You, not with fancy words, but with a believing heart and I confess that I do believe that Jesus is the One and only way to Salvation. Apart from Him, there is no other way to the Father.

I ask You, Jesus, to be my Savior, forgive me for all my sinful thoughts and actions. I thank You for this forgiveness, and that You do not hold these sins against me.

And I am truly grateful that I am now a member of Your eternal family, my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and nothing or no one can separate me from Your unconditional love for me.

Holy Spirit, teach me, guide me in the ways of God. Help me to understand all that He has for me.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
