Mary, the mother of Jesus ~ The Holy Spirit came upon her and created a new life of God
in flesh. When we are born again it is
the Holy Spirit coming upon us and creating a new life of God in flesh. We are just like Jesus when we become born
again. He was a baby having all the needs
of a baby. He needed someone to take
care of him; providing his mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and social
needs…until he could do for himself. As
a newborn Christian we need the same care until we learn how to love God our
Father with all our heart (emotional), soul (spiritual), mind (mental), and
strength (physical) and to love one another (social).
We are given The Spirit of God to live within us to help us;
but we also need others who are mature spiritually to help us learn how to live
in the faith and discipline of a Child of God.
Jesus was 100% man and had all the temptations such as us,
but he didn't sin. He didn't sin because
He listened to The Holy Spirit of God, His Father and said "no" to
sin. If we listen to the same Holy Spirit
that lives within us, we also will not sin.
Do we truly believe that it is the same Holy Spirit of God
that lived in Jesus that lives in us? If
so, what is the evidence? Do we need
some help? Ask The Lord to bring you to
someone who will nurture/mentor you.
My Prayer:
Thank You, Lord, for the new life in You – it is new with every new
day. Thank You that my sinful life is
dead, and I don’t want to revisit it even in a memory. Thank You for bringing
so many into my life to teach and nurture me.
I desire more intimacy with You and the joy it brings, so that I can be
more like You.
