As we realize that we're being regenerated, and sitting in Heavenly places with Christ, we enter into His rest whereby the Spirit does the work, as we present our bodies as living sacrifices. God has set us free from bondage, sin and death we've been redeemed and enter into His rest.
I've been trying to drive home about regeneration and born again, in which in the 80's through 2010 the Born-Again movement mislabeling it or what it really is. Getting confused about those confessing Christianity and believing from actually the experiencing of the Spirit working a change upon the person.
There's been years of wrong or misleading teaching on just what born again really is, as some think it is us choosing Jesus or professing Christ, instead of the supernatural work that it is whereas we're placed into the family of God by a regenerating effect of giving new life (a spiritual-birth).
Being born again we should desire the sincere milk of the work, to grow thereby. God has birth us into His family with a plan and purpose for our lives. He has created us for good works, as a new creation in Him we have to learn to walk therein and grow in the grace, knowledge and understanding of our Lord with ever increasing Faith.
We all have heard of the Fatherhood of God, but less about the Motherhood of God. This is part of what He means by taking His yoke upon us and learn of Him. It comes with increasing knowledge of Him and His word, prayer-time, doing the word, meditating on in it day and night, It's what the spirit does in guiding and leading us into all truth's.
When we bring self into worship we begin to build a golden calf (Idolatry).When we focus on stuff and it's acquisition we begin to covet (idolatry). God's word tells us to seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. We need to start to see that worship involves the totality of our lives which the first commandment tells us of God's positioning our lives.
We have to study Gods' word study His regulative principal of worship to come to know from the Old Testament as to how we should worship Him, being He consistently warned His people that they should not worship Him as the prior inhabitants or the other nations worshipped their gods.
We must understand the roll of God essence of motherhood, which He, and Jesus refers to several or more times. As a Hen to her brood to gather us up, His spirit brood over the earth in the beginning. Why is God first seen as masculine and paternal in biblical thought? I don't believe it's in order to negate his maternal, feminine nature.
Just like the physical body needs differing nutrients across the spectrum to grow, the spiritual body needs every word contained in the Bible to grow in the perfect character God desires. We should live by every-word that proceeds, from the mouth of God, we are charged to declare the whole counsel of God. Not just blessings and prosperity, but the consequences' for lack of obedience.
We as born again believers receive out strength by not only desiring the sincere milk of the word, but assimilating it in our lives till it becomes our life, the way in which we live. We can not over emphasize this that we have to continue in His word to be His disciple's and overcome the word, and for Him to bring us through the fire.
