You Must Be "Born Again"--Understanding the New Birth

This particular book is the one I am now working on. It was suppose to have been done a year ago! I encountered some computer problems that set me behind! In fact, my computer had crashed and I did not have a way to back-up my work. So when it crashed, I lost almost 50% of what I had worked on. I wasn't able to recover the files from the hard-drive because it said it was "unrecoverable"! Ouch!

I was able to locate a back-up from an older computer on which the monitor had crashed, but the hard-drive was still good. I finally got an external docking station, and was able to recover my book..but I'm having to basically re-do, and add back in all of that work I had lost.

It's coming along nicely now. I just need to keep working until it's done!

I want to share a "blurp" from it so that you can get a look at it!

Jesus said "You must be Born Again in order to see the Kingdom of God" in John Chapter 3. He spoke that to Nicodemus who was a Jewish leader at the time Jesus taught the people before He went to the Cross. Understanding the need to be Born Again is crucial today in the times we are in. The connection between The Blood Covenant and Jesus going to the Cross to shed His Blood for us is the purpose of this book. It will be an awesome 'evangelistic' tool to help you witness to others!

In this book, I explain the beginning of Creation, what happend when Adam fell and brought the Curse of Sin and Death to all mankind. I teach with the purpose of reaching those who do not know God or don't even believe in God. Many Christians even fail to understand it and many of them either fall away; are still struggling; or do not know how to be a "witness". I cover all the misunderstandings about God, all the Names of God, the Story of Jesus and His Crucifixion in sort of a Bible timeline without dates and times; but in a story line from the Beginnng to the Cross.

Here is a blurp:

 Troubles in the Heaven

Troubles in heaven? How can that be?

Before God created the earth and mankind, there was trouble brewing in the Heavens. God’s highest anointed cherub (which is God’s ministering angel to the Throne) or the “Son of the Morning”-- was Lucifer. He was the highest-ranking angel at God’s Throne. One day Lucifer decided he wanted to be like the Most High God and overthrow God and become Ruler. Well, Lucifer soon found out that you don’t mess with God! That isn’t going to happen! Lucifer had gathered up an army of the lesser angels, convinced them to join forces with him, and he tried to take over God's Throne. God kicked him and his evil army out of Heaven and sent them to the lower parts of the earth, and the earth became void and full of darkness. And Lucifer could no longer come to God’s Throne.

Isaiah 14:12-15
:12 "How you have fallen from heaven, Day Star, son of the Dawn! How you have been thrown down to earth, you who laid low the nation!
:13 You said in your heart, 'I'll ascend to heaven, above the stars of God. I'll erect my throne; I'll sit on the Mount of Assembly in the far reaches of the north;
:14 I'll ascend above the tops of the clouds; I'll make myself like the Most High.'
:15 But you are brought down to join the dead, to the far reaches of the Pit.
 
Luke 10:18

:18  He told them, "I watched Satan falling from heaven like lightning". (Jesus is talking to His Disciples)

That’s fast! Lucifer hit the earth like a bolt of lightning! It happened so fast, he didn’t know what happened!
Ezekiel 28 is a description of Lucifer when he was in Heaven, and God is telling us what he became;

Ezekiel 28:12-17
:12 " Son of Man, start singing this lamentation for the king of Tyre. Tell him, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: "You served as my model, my example of complete wisdom and perfect beauty.
:13 You used to be in Eden--God's paradise! You wore precious stones for clothing: ruby, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and carbuncle. Your settings were crafted in gold, along with your engravings. On the day of your creation they had been prepared!
:14 "You were the anointed cherub; having been set in place on the holy mountain of God, you walked in the midst of fiery stones.
:15 You were blameless in your behavior from the day you were created until wickedness was discovered in you.
:16 Since your vast business dealings filled you with violent intent from top to bottom, you sinned, so I cast you away as defiled from the mountain of God. I destroyed you, you guardian cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones.
:17 Your heart grew arrogant because of your beauty; you annihilated your own wisdom because of your splendor. Then I threw you to the ground in the presence of kings, giving them a good look at you!

I gave the whole account because it describes what took place up there. God’s anointed cherub was Lucifer. He sat in the very Presence of God, in the finest of wealth and beauty--living and abiding at God’s Throne. But because Lucifer decided to overthrow God’s Throne, he convinced a third of God’s angels to join him in battle to dethrone God, God instantly hurled him out of His Presence and kicked him out of Heaven as fast as a lightning strike! He became Satan, and lost his beauty and form, and became a wicked serpent. Darkness and void fell upon the earth that God had created. What God creates is not full of darkness. The earth became that because of the treason that Lucifer committed in Heaven.

More to come soon!
Have a Blessed Day!
