BORN AGAIN…ONE WITH GOD!

“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

John 3:3

Jesus said:  “…that they all may be one, even as we are one…”

John 17:21-22

             

Oswald Chambers in My Utmost for His Highest states:  “Being born again from above is a perennial, perpetual and eternal beginning; a freshness all the time in thinking and in talking and in living, the continual surprise of the life of God…Are you drawing your life from any other source than God Himself?  If you are depending upon anything but Him, you will never know when He is gone.  Being born of the Spirit means much more than we generally take it to mean.  It gives us a new vision and keeps us absolutely fresh for everything by the perennial supply of the life of God.”

 O.Chambers Prayer:

O Lord, breathe on me till I am one with You in the temper of mind and heart and disposition.  Unto You do I turn.  Again, how completely I realize my lostness without You.

My Prayer added to O.C. ~

Fresh!  New!  One with God!  It all sounds like a fantasy and yet that’s what You say, Lord.  Oh, make it so in me – make it real.  Holy Spirit freshen my mind and heart to be new and in tune with You – fill me with Your life so that we can be one – make me fit to be Yours only.

Are we freshly born this minute or are we stale, raking in our minds for something of our own to do?  We become one with God when His Holy Spirit comes to live within us at the moment of being born again by faith…it is not by anything we can do!

Born Again ~ A new breathe of being!
