The Bible
Written by: Ahava
The bible is the revealing of the invisible into the visible. God is a spirit and cannot be seen by the natural eye. Words can be seen and read by the natural eye. God used words to provide the way to reveal Himself to mankind.
All generations from the beginning of time until the end of time have been provided written scrolls containing the pure words of God. Let each person read the bible with an open heart and mind and come to their own decision if God is real and if God is true.
There are millions of books on the market. Not one has the power to renew your spirit and bring you into the Kingdom of God. Only the bible/Torah is the pure word of God with the purpose of redeeming mankind. A good translation to read is the New International Version or the Amplified Bible by Zondervan Publishing house.
The first book in the New Testament is the book of Matthew. Following is Mark, Luke and John. Go to the book of John chapter 3. You will see little numbers in the chapter (example 1, 2, 3). These numbers represent the verses in each chapter. If you are reading a book and it tells you to go to John 3:3 that means the book of John Chapter 3 verse 3. Let’s turn there now.
In John chapter 3 verses 3-7 it states: In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again.” How can a man be born when he is old? Nicodemus asked, “Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born.” Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the spirit, flesh gives birth to flesh (the physical) but the spirit gives birth to the spirit (the spirit within). You should not be surprised at my saying, you must be born again.”
In today’s society they have taken this term “Born Again” and distorted, twisted and used it in the false sense but that does not make it untrue. Being a Catholic, Protestant or Jewish is our church denomination or temple affiliation.
Our denomination/affiliation has nothing to do with our spirit within us. When God created Adam and Eve He put them in the Garden of Eden and said they were free to eat from any tree in the garden but they must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, if they eat of it they will die.
Eating from this tree was a willful act of disobedience against God’s word and his warning.
Genesis 2:7 God formed man from the dust of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath (spirit) of life and man became a living being. (2:8) God planted a garden in Eden, to the east and there He put the man whom He had formed. (2:9) God caused to grow from the ground every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food; also the Tree of Life in the center of the garden and the Tree of the Knowledge of good and bad. (Verse 15) God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to guard it. God commanded the man saying, of every tree in the garden you may freely eat; but of the Tree of Knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat, for on the day you eat of it, you will surely die. (Verse 21) God caused a sleep to fall upon Adam and took one of his ribs and made it into a woman and brought her to the man. (3:6) When the woman saw that the tree was good for food she took of its fruit and ate and gave some to Adam and he ate.
Instantly they experienced the change within them.
When God said the day you eat you shall die, how did they live to give birth to Cain and Able after they ate from the tree? God said they would die the day they ate. They experienced spiritual death.
God is a spirit and the bible says the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth (John 4:23) our inner man is our spirit and the truth is the bible. Our lives must function out of the leading of our inner man (spirit) after it has been renewed by the understanding of the bible.
Being born of the flesh is by the natural process of the human act of conceiving a child. Born of the flesh is the physical body of a human being. We have a spirit within this physical body but at the time of birth the spirit within remains cut off from God. The Catholic Church calls this cutting off as the “Original Sin”, that is why they baptize a newborn baby.
In Matthew 10:32-33 it states “Whoever acknowledges me (Jesus) before men, I (Jesus) will acknowledge him before My Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me (by not acknowledging Jesus) before men (while alive on earth) I (Jesus) will disown him before My Father in heaven.”
When a baby is baptized or dedicated to God it is an act of faith on behalf of the parents until that baby grows up and is able to comprehend and make decisions on his or her own. At that time, the baby who is now an adult is responsible to God to believe in Jesus and accept Jesus Christ for himself or herself.
A person can be whatever denomination they chose, Catholic – Protestant – Jewish, etc. but in order to enter the kingdom of God the person must believe and accept that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the one and only Messiah of both the Jewish and non Jewish nations.
To the person who comes to this understanding you will realize the truth within your heart and accept God’s Messiah Jesus Christ in order for your spirit to be restored back to its original state as in the creation before the act of disobedience in the garden.
Adam’s disobedience brought spiritual death to all mankind. This is the reason Jesus came and died on the cross. Jesus restored mankind back to their original spiritual state of being unto God.
In Isaiah 7:14 it states: God Himself will give us a sign. The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and will call Him Immanuel meaning God with man.
In Matthew 1:18-23 it states: This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.
His mother Mary/Miriam was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus because He will save His people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord has said through the prophet, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and they will call Him Immanuel meaning “God with man.”
Notice God said “Jesus would save “HIS” people from their sin.
Before Jesus was conceived God already knew that not all the people of the earth would believe in, accept or belong to Jesus. In John 12:32 it states: when Jesus is lifted up; He will draw men to Himself.
In Romans 8:14 it states: those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.
This is why we are not to disrespect others or argue with people who do not believe in Jesus. God already knows the exact number that belongs to Him through Christ. Those who believe and receive belong to the Lord, those who do not believe nor receive do not belong to Christ and they have been given the right to live according to their own free will. But all people must obey the laws of our government.
Each will reap what they sow at the end of the age of mankind. There is a heaven and there is a hell. During our life time we choose where we will spend eternity while we are still alive on this earth. There is no opportunity of choice once you are dead.
It was necessary for Jesus to be born of the virgin because from the time of Adam and Eve's disobedience, man was disconnected from God in the spirit and there is no natural way to reach God.
When Cain and Abel were conceived, their parents had already disobeyed God and had fallen from their state of being spiritually alive and were now spiritually dead within. When these children were born they came forth alive in the flesh (natural/physical) but spiritually dead because Adam and Eve were dead in spirit.
It was necessary for the Messiah to have a virgin conception because no man ever touched the virgin. No spiritually dead sperm was germinated within the virgin womb.
God’s Spirit hovered over Mary, moved upon Mary and surrounded Mary.
God’s Spirit covered Mary and permeated into the deepest walls of her being.
The spirit of the Lord engrafted the breath of God within her womb, a place never known to any man. The engrafted breath of God began to develop and grow in the womb of purity and holiness.
The breath of God developed into a pure holy spiritually alive new birth child, untouched by any penalty of fallen man. Developing and growing in the spirit of God.
Just as the spirit of God was breath into the form of Adam in the dust of the earth in the creation of a living being (Genesis 2:7) so it was that the spirit of God was breath into the womb of Mary creating the second spiritually and physically alive man, the Lord Jesus Christ.
When this baby Jesus was born, He was born in the natural with the human flesh of his mother and He was also born alive in the spirit because the breath of God was imparted within an untouched womb.
No dead seed was planted inside Mary through a sexual relation with a spiritually dead man. This child Jesus was born spiritually alive as from the very beginning of the creation of the first man.
Jesus came to this earth for one purpose, the restoration of mankind unto His creator God. Jesus walked this earth revealing the reality of an existing God. Where there was blindness, Jesus brought the reality of the original state of man, a healthy seeing man.
For those who were crippled, Jesus brought the reality of the original state of man,
a healthy ability to walk. To those who were deaf, Jesus brought the reality of the original state of man, open ears with perfect hearing.
Jesus was the restoration of God’s original state of creation within mankind in every area of life, spirit, soul, body and mind. Since He was conceived through the spirit of God, Jesus had to war and conquer through the spirit of God. This was a spiritual conception of the redemption of mankind. Jesus had to go to the cross and die in the flesh in order to give life in the spirit.
Jesus came and walked this earth revealing the true created nature of mankind. Man was created spiritually alive, walked and talked with God and had a healthy body with a sound mind. Jesus restores “HIS” people to God’s original state in spirit, mind and body while you are still alive on this earth .
Jesus was tortured and murdered on the tree. He rose again entering the dwelling place of the most high God, the place where mankind calls heaven. He presented Himself as an offering to God for the redemption of all humanity. Jesus death and resurrection presented to God the price necessary for the restoration of man’s spirit coming back into its original state of being spiritually alive unto God.
Death cannot dwell in the presence of God. No dead thing can enter into the Kingdom of God. No human being whose spirit is not restored through accepting Jesus Christ can enter the Kingdom of God at the time of death.
Only the shedding of Jesus blood paid the price for the restoring of mankind’s spirit back to its original state of being. There is no other way to enter God’s Kingdom.
That is why in Matthew 18:23 it states: God said Jesus will save His people from their sin. Only those who accept the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary belong to Jesus and are the people of the Lord. All others are people of their own choices and belonging to whom they chose to serve. God created mankind with a free will.
Do you believe Jesus was born of the virgin Mary/Miriam? Do you believe Jesus is the holy son of God, the Messiah of the world, the redeemer of mankind? Do you believe He died on the cross for your sins and rose again?
In Romans 10:10 it is written “For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. It is not enough to just believe in Jesus. It is necessary to say to God with our own mouths that Jesus is the Son of God.
This is the way you make your own individual acknowledgement, accepting and receiving Jesus Christ into your own heart before death. By Christ only are we redeemed and restored in our spirits and enter into the Kingdom of God.
In order to acknowledge Jesus as your own personal savior and have your spirit restored to its original state of being, open your heart unto the Lord and speak unto Him the prayer provided below or use your own heart felt words of commitment. You must be sincere in your heart. God does not acknowledge empty words. He hears and accepts the sincerity of the heart.
Prayer of Redemption :
God, I open my heart to you. I believe Jesus is the Son of God, the redeemer and Messiah of mankind. Forgive all my mistakes and all my intentional disobediences.
I give you my heart and ask to receive your Holy Spirit and be restored back to the way you created me to be. I receive Jesus Christ as my personal savior and Messiah. Amen.
Romans 4:7
Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.
Psalms 103:12
As far as the East is from the West, so far had He removed our sins from us.
Jeremiah 31:34
I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.
2nd Corinthians 5:17
If anyone receives Jesus Christ, he is a new creature; the old has gone, the new has come. All this from God who restored us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation that God was reconciling (restoring) the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ behalf, be reconciled to God. God made Jesus who had no sin, to be sin for us so that in Him we become the righteousness of God.
Hebrews 8:12
For I (God) will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.
Hebrews 10:17
Their sins and lawless acts, I (God) will remember no more.
The moment you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, all your mistakes and sins up to this present hour are forgiven by God and removed from you. They are cast away forever. You are washed clean by the blood of Jesus.
God will never remember or recall those mistakes and sins again. You are brand new as the day you were born out of the womb of your mother only this time you are born spiritually out of the womb of the Holy Spirit from within.
Does this mean you will never make another mistake or sin again? No. How can you live a life in the spirit when you have no spiritual knowledge or understanding? You must now feed your spirit the spiritual food which is the bible.
The way you were fed the natural food (milk in the bottle) when you were born naturally. As you ate, you grew. As you feed your spirit the word of God by reading it, your spirit will grow and step by step you will begin to understand and apply the word of God into your life and you will begin to be transformed into a new way of living. This is your entrance into God’s will for your life while you are living on earth.
Numbers chapter 6 verse 25
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace/shalom.
God Bless our Mission,
Sincerely,
