Ordo Salutis: Regeneration

3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again. 8 The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. — John 3:3-8 | American King James Version (KJVUS) The American King James Version is Produced by Stone Engelbrite. It is a simple word for modern word update from the King James English.

Rooney Mara, Terrence Malick: "It was like a new paradise. Forgiveness." - The way to change lies in a sacrifice, the sacrifice of his own anger

Ethel Cain: 'the only real strength you have in this lifetime is your forgiveness. I forgive it all as it comes back to me.'

"This human freedom is symbolized by the door that Jack finds in the desert in 'The Tree of Life' (Terrence Malick), and by the many doors that Faye walks through in 'Song to Song' (Terrence Malick). Freely stepping through this door is the beginning of the eternal, of a new birth. In 'The Tree of Life' we see a short image of the creation when Jack steps through the door. In the same way, while we see BV knocking at Faye’s door we hear her: “It was like a new paradise. Forgiveness.” The free and gratuitous step of human freedom is the beginning of a new creation. In this sense we can say that forgiveness draws us closer to the eternal: it reveals to be one occasion to see glory at work in life, transfiguring nature in a new creation."

"we hear BV: “I don’t know how to change. I want to…. How do you How do you get better?” A voice answers: “Gotta sacrifice something.” Here lies the last step that guides us towards Malick’s answer. BV, despite the anger, recognizes that something is wrong in him, he needs to change — and indeed the way to change lies in a sacrifice, the sacrifice of his own anger. Malick does not have this sacrifice occur in BV’s relationship with Faye, but in his relation to his father. … He sacrifices his pride and goes to his father to forgive him."

A place where writers come.

By: alyssum-prose

A place where writers come is a place where there are none.

We find ourselves at the pushing of a pen(cil) similar to a heartbeat pushing blood.

Every momentous stroke refines the beat of a bleeding heart.

Some Hearts black, some blue, some gray. The ink chosen simply performs an art show on the page to reflect the inner dividends life has to offer.

May the articulate words of a pen lover draw on, for ages and pages to come,

Because the place of inner loops and changes is the Place where writers come.

Our identity is in Christ Part 5

Leaving the old identity and the old life behind

I remember well the joy of my own experience of being born again, the burden of my sin lifting off my shoulders, being cleansed in my heart, it felt like a sauna in that every pore of my heart was cleansed. Being delivered from swearing and bad language. My new life in Christ had begun. The selfishness, pride, greed and pleasing only myself had to come off under the water of baptism. Yet we need to keep the old man of the flesh crucified. He would like to get down of that cross, but we do not need to let him.

John 3:7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” 9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

Nicodemus was around 60-70 years old and had a lifetime of personal failures and character flaws behind him. Yet here was Jesus offering him a fresh start free from the old life of bondage. The picture here to a Jew like Nicodemus, is that of the Exodus, where the wind dried up the Red Sea allowing the Israelites to pass over on dry ground. The main point is that we need to leave the old life of bondage behind in Egypt and the old life of being under the circumstances. Being born again is the only way we can turn back the clock of our lives.

Summary

When we are born again, we are brought into all the victories of Jesus Christ

All our blessings and spiritual riches are In Christ

In Him we have a higher ranking than the angels

In Him we are more than conquerors

In Him we ought to be living in victory

In Him we ought to be behaving like overcomers

In Him we do not have to be under the circumstances

Final Thoughts

But you say sometimes God does require his people to go through suffering, and yes that is true sometimes. But the question is ‘What kind of suffering does God require us to go through?’

The humbling of our pride or reputation, or putting under our fleshly desires?

But does God require us to go through depression or live in constant defeat or fear, downtrodden, always be the tail and not the head?

The answer is an emphatic No!

Prayer and ministry

Brothers and Sisters, it is now time to reclaim your identity in Christ. Let us do it.

Let us pray and ask the Lord to help us leave our old identities behind

and move into our new victorious identities.

The Spiritual Reset: Being Born Again in Christ

Imagine life as a journey where the roads are marked by the choices we make. Over time, some paths may lead to dead ends, others to muddy detours, and some may even feel like an endless loop. What if you could start fresh? What if you could recalibrate your internal GPS and head toward a destination that guarantees peace, purpose, and eternal joy? That’s what it means to be “born again.” The…

🚨 New Birth is in Trouble Again: No Pastor No First Lady

In this eye-opening video we will examine why New Birth's new "First lady" is a massive red flag for the congregation and the wider Christian community. We'll explore the real implications of their actions on the church and how it affects the perception of faith among believers and non-believers alike.

Dr Karri Turner is to be the new first lady of New Birth - hmmmmmm ?

So i wanted to do more Gods/Goddess's to go with my 3 sisters, and so i did Wenet:

Unut, also known as Wenut or Wenet, was a prehistoric Ancient Egyptian hare and snake goddess of fertility and new birth

because of this, i gave her more of an hour glass shape, with more emphasis on her chest and hips due to being a rabbit. On the human plane, she works as a nurse and has healer tendencies.

When she gets flustered, her ears and tail pop out. She is also prone to high anxiety attacks that could lead to palpitations that can cause serious harm.

i am working on her background :).

Wenet is also part of @the-slender-doll

cursed Gods univurse

When we look at our lives in light of scripture and the call of God, we realize that we have learned many things from our families of origin, from our schools and classmates, from our associates at work and from the omnipresent media that have shaped us - mis-shaped us, really - in the image of human brokenness rather than the image of divine fullness. The new birth [promised in baptism] provides us with the gift of making a break from the effects of that mis-shaping process and its hold on our lives… We are children once again, sitting with and learning to imitate the character and mannerisms of our heavenly Parent, who is present to us through his Holy Spirit: “all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another” (2 Cor. 3:18).
