Let's put our spiritual thinking caps on in Jesus Name.
We have been looking into the word of the Lord and studying possibly the most important truth in the bible and that truth is Being Born Again. I call it the most important truth necessary because without this ALL IS LOST. Without being born again, all else is wasted effort and wasted labors and false information and light. Jesus said in John 3:3,5 that if a man is not born again, he cannot see or understand the kingdom of God, NOR WILL HE ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. That in itself makes the subject of being BORN AGAIN extremely vital and one at the top of the Holy Spirits list of needful out poured light.
In this light of being born again we have been, as Paul would put it, we have been comparing SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL (1st Corinthians 2:13). We have reemphasized the fact the God is a Spirit. Angels are spirits. Demons and devils are spirits, and that MAN IS A SPIRIT living inside these bodies that are presently - sinful flesh. See (James 2:26 & 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24).
James 2:26 reveals to us that the body without THE SPIRIT inside it is dead...... Luke 8:55 tell us.....and after Jesus gave the command, it was after that, that the daughters spirit returned to her body and she (her body) came back alive. Jesus Christ the Word of God, raised her from the dead. I want to use these two scriptures to speak to you today, more revelating light on the subject of being born again which by the mouth of the Lord IS ONLY A HEAVENLY THING of the spirit of man and has nothing to do with his flesh. See John 3:6,10-12.
Now just for a moment I want us to focus our attention on the fact that that little girl above in Luke 8:55 that had died, that little girls spirit (while her body was dead), she (HER SPIRIT MAN) was out and about in the invisible world of the spirit moving about in Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22), when her body was upon the earth laying there dead a midst a family who was in great mourning. Jesus, the resurrection and the life Himself, being called upon, came on the scene and he came up to that little girls body and said, daughter Arise. The bible records that the little GIRLS SPIRIT RETURNED TO HER and she (her body) came back alive (Luke 8:55).
I want to use this illustration to point out an heavenly thing (John 3:12), meaning a spirit and spiritual thing and truth reality. I want us to notice the fact that immediately, I MEAN IMMEDIATELY, as soon as Jesus spoke the word of life into her, I want us to notice that her spirit re entered the body and she (THAT DEAD BODY) came back to life. This raising her body from the dead did not take the Spoken Word of our Creator and of our Redeemer millions of hours and days to occur or happen. She, her body that is, came back to life immediately. This was a physical resurrection. Jesus taught that there is a flesh birthing and a spirit birthing. There is a physical body making alive resurrection and there is a spirit of man making alive resurrection also. Neither one can occur by the power of man, or by the will of man, or by the self righteousness of man. Both can only occur by THE POWER OF GOD applied, received, injected, poured and exerted into the both of them, both into the body and into the spirit. Find out what is the POWER OF GOD unto SALVATION and there mix, and plant your faith, hope, and constant trust and obedience to. Hint (1st Corinthians 1:17-25). You will find it also inside these verses, Romans 10:1-13 & Galations 2: 1-14)
* * * * * * * * * * *
God's life giving Word, when it is spoken and when it is believed, and when it is mixed faith with, it immediately has a performance. It immediately makes alive that which was dead. It (Gods Spoken Word) can of itself, make monumental changes, transformations, translations, and even more to things in the speed of the TWINKLING OF AN EYE when such is demanded of it (HELLO- 1st Corinthians 15:51-52).......God said His Word goes forth out of His mouth and where ever it goes, it will not return unto Him void, but it will prosper IN THE THING where He sent it (Isaiah 55:11). Well the Word of God Jesus spoke (John 3:34 & Hebrews 1:1-2) into that little girl, and it certainly prospered in the thing into which Christ sent it. It made alive her mortal flesh (split seconds fast) as her spirit came back from the realm and dimensions of God's heavenly places in the spiritual part of His creation in Abraham's Bosom (Luke 16:22).
* * * * * * * * *
Now with that in mind let's go read Ephesians 2:1 & John 5:24. Eph. 1:1 reads (keep in mind that we are comparing spiritual things with spiritual here and we are talking about the spirit of man being born again as Jesus heavenly taught in John 3).....And you hath God MADE ALIVE who were dead because of your trespasses and sins. Let us ask the question right here. Were all these people, these Christians at the church of Ephesus, were all of them physically dead at one time and that is what God made alive, their bodies? No, of course not. The Lord had already opened up Paul's eyes and his spiritual understanding to the reality of heavenly things and spirit beings(Galations 6:17) and things and spiritual realities (Philippians 2:9-11/Colossians 1:16) and Paul, much like his Master, his words here were of the Spirit of God (John 4:24)and they were spirit words for and about the spirit of man, THE HIDDEN MAN (1 Peter 3:4 & James 2:26). The flesh profited not from them (John 6:63),
In John 5:24 we find Jesus also himself talking spiritual lango or about the heavenly things themselves IN MAN AGAIN, of mans spirit. (Hebrews 9:23). Jesus speaking from the Spirit by the Spirit of the spirit of the BELIEVING ONES He said, "He that hears MY WORDS and BELIEVES, (believes what?) Believes that the Father sent me HAS EVERLASTING LIFE and shall not come unto condemnation, but, (Note this), but IS, IS, IS, IS, not going to be BUT IS, IS, IS, IS PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE". This is a in the spirit change and resurrection.
Now we all know Jesus was not talking here about the flesh body of the believers in this light. But what He was making known is, that man has a spirit inside that mortal cloak of flesh and bone, and he was teaching here, shedding heavenly light on the fact that a MIGHTY THING, I mean A MIGHTY MIGHTY THING and THINGS takes place in and to the spirit of them that believe the gospel of their salvation and that mighty thing is a spirit holy change (Ephesians 4:24), and a spirit in righteousness transformation in it;s nature (see Ephesians 4:24) and a spirit translation (Colossians 1:12-14) and a spirit passing or passage from death into life everlasting (John 5:24), and it all takes place (note this) all at once while that spirit still lives inside the sinful mortal flesh. You ask what is the speed of that holy change, the speed of that transformation, the speed of that translation and passing from death unto life (John 5:24 & Ephesians 2:1-10) and upward? It takes place TWINKLING EYE FAST SPEED and all of these heavenly GOOD things takes place inside man, inside our spirits when we believe the gospel of our slavation.(1st Corinthians 15:51-52).
This last paragraph is what happens when a man is BORN AGAIN in his spirit. Revelating eye opening NOTE HERE. If you will read Ephesians 2:1-10, I want you to know by the Spirit of the Living God that those words Paul penned are the life giving, life saving, the holy changing, the righteousness transforming, the translation, the rapture, and the resurrection of the spirit of the believer. It is what takes place in the believers spirit when he is BORN AGAIN and it fulfills Jesus' own words in John 5:24. All this is done by God, by the Word of the gospel of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:23-25) and his grace in our spirits when we believe the gospel. When we believe the gospel that preaches that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. That he loved us and gave himself for us on the Cross. There he died for our sins and 3 days later God raised him from the dead (SEE 1 John 5:1-5, Romans 10:8-13). This gospel is the word and seed of eternal life sent to us from God (1Peter 1:23-25). That Word, that gospel is sent from the mouth of God into the earth by Jesus Christ as seed to be sown by preachers into the hearts of men. That same life giving Word that lives and that same life giving seed that is alive, it's God empowered, and living, and it's God sent forth calling, purpose, and mission is to make alive (CAUSE TO BE BORN AGAIN), the spirit of every person that MIXES FAITH WITH IT'S MESSAGE TRUTH which was called by Isaiah the prophet THE GOOD REPORT to be believed unto salvation(Read 53:1-12).
We did not earn it, Jesus paid for this salvation, for this new spirit renewal, spirit change, and spirit rebirthing & resurrection from the dead of our spirits with His own blood. No man can rebirth his own spirit, change it's nature, and translate his spirit from death unto life or from the power of darkness INTO the kingdom of God, just as no man can rebirth his own body, nor raise it from the dead, nor change it from a body of corruption to a risen body untouchable by death or decay. God alone and God only has the power to make alive both spirit and body before it ascends into the paradise of God or into the kingdom of Almighty God our Father......
Well enough on this one for now. Lot's of info to chew on. Still much more to say thank God. To God be the glory....Writing more soon.....Amen....deno

Revealing Eternal Life's Everlasting Heartbeat.....deno.....please share freely
1 Corinthians 2:5) So that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
The Cross of Christ and his death was not in vain. The cross of Christ and his sufferings, his blood, his death, and resurrection are together the core, the heart, and the everlasting life's HEART BEAT of all them that are born of God and saved. Remove this truth. Remove this as the way. Remove this which is the true gospel of our salvation which is the unchanging foundation; remove it with the Law of Moses, or any other idea, or religion, or name contrary to the Cross of Jesus Christ and his blood, death, and resurrection purpose and power, and you will suffer a major spiritual heart attack. Remove the Cross of Christ and you remove the POWER OF GOD, the redeeming, saving POWER OF GOD unto salvation. (1 Corinthians 1:17-24)
Paul preached to those at the church of Galatia who left the grace of God unto another gospel of Law, of physical circumcision, and of works for their justification, he preached that they removed themselves from Christ and all that his Cross did for them, and that they had fallen from grace. Friends, that is suffering a major spiritual heart attack. Don't be deceived to do the same. Keep your spiritual heart beating strong and healthy every day. Keep in your heart the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end that by the Cross of Christ and his blood God has redeemed and saved us, and that by his resurrection he justified us unto eternal salvation. Forever let this truth of Christ dwell in you richly every day.
Trust and obey this above rule and love one another as Christ loved us. In all we say and do, and as we grow in our obeying more of Christ Lordship, we do all good things and good works because we know and believe that Jesus loves us and gave himself for us at the Cross; And that God raised him from the dead FOR OUR LIVING REAL HOPE, FOR OUR COVENANT OF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH WHEREBY WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD, AND FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION UNTO LIFE. This is the unchangeable gospel. This is the right way, the right truth, and the everlasting heart beat of eternal life. Christ himself is our ALL.....deno.
Hebrews 3:14) For we are made partakers of Christ, IF WE HOLD THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE STEADFAST TO THE FINISH LINE......The beginning of our confidence is the foundation of our faith. This foundation was, it is, and it always shall be Jesus Christ and him crucified and raised from the dead. No other foundation can be laid but that which from the beginning has been laid.

Being Born Again.....Study #3.....deno......please share freely
Some
people mistakenly think that being born again, or being a new creature
in Christ is a long slow drawn out evolutionary type process or
spiritual transformation that takes like zillions of hours or days to occur. They
think or preach that it takes a long drawn out period of dying to self
so that the new man can be born and that is being born again. But that
is not. What they are talking about is fruit bearing. But I say that the tree has to be born first always and then afterwards as it grows up, then comes forth the fruit in its seasons. This is the tree, being born again. And this is the fruit of the tree, doing what pleases the Lord more and more..
When people preach that being born again is a long drawn out process of gradual change, they are thinking of behavior modifications and not new spirit birthing. But our good works are not what causes us to be born or born again. It does not work that way in our fleshes birth, and neither does it work that way in our spirits new birthing. The right good works come as a result of being born again or created in Christ Jesus (See Ephesians 2:8-10). What that is is learning to obey God more. What that is is growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. What that is is learning to say no to the flesh. What that is is walking in the spirit so that you do not fulfill the sinful desires of the flesh (Galations 5:16).
1 Peter 2:2) Peter hit it on the nail of right and proper revelation truth concerning this light and concerning being born again when he wrote. AS AS AS, notice As, not going to be, but AS...AS NEW BORN BABES, notice with me from the scriptures that they were already born again. They were already NEW BORN babes. He told these NEW BORN BABES...AS AS AS just born again babes, to desire, learn, hunger for the milk of the Word so that you can GROW THEREBY. So that you can more and more learn what God desires of you and to obey and please Him more. He said do that AS AS AS ALREADY BORN AGAIN NEW BORN BABES not some day way down the road if you get good enough gonna bees....
Dying to ones own will, taking up our cross daily, and learning to say no to the sinful flesh and yes to God's will, is decision processes and a day unto day LIFE LONG PROCESS. No new creature in all the creation, not in the natural flesh world, nor in the spirit world is born from ones will power alone, good chores done, or decision alone. Giving life to NEW BORN CREATURES. Giving birth to NEW BORN SPIRITS TAKES A SEED IMPLANTING AND MIXING AND LIVING CREATING POWER. The new birth is a NEW CREATION reality. A spirit man within us resurrection reality. IT IS A HOLY TRANSFORMATION CHANGE OF THE INNER MAN and HIS NATURE WITHIN BY THE SEED OF CHRIST CREATING GLORY OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (See 1 Peter 1:23-25 & 1 John 3:9). It is something Jesus Christ does to us HIMSELF with He Himself being the seed of our new birthing and by his recreating power only in the gospel believed we are made NEW CREATIONS in our spirit man called by Peter the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4)
NOTE THIS..... We all know that there is a resurrection of the body and in that resurrection a great holy change takes place to the body risen as it was in Christ body. There is also a resurrection of the spirit of man, and in that resurrection a holy change takes place to the nature of that spirit risen as well and that is exactly what happens when we are BORN AGAIN, when we are created In Christ Jesus (See Ephesians 4:23,24). When the seed of the gospel recreates us, we become NEW SPIRIT CREATIONS in the hidden man. Our new image in the new creation is righteousness and true holiness as Ephesians 4:23 reveals. As Jesus and the Fathers Spirit are a HOLY, RIGHTEOUS SPIRIT, so are the spirits of the children who are born again by faith in Jesus Christ
None are born again by works of commitment, or by works of human determination, or by our works of righteousness or self holiness, nor by fastings, nor by self discipline (John 5:24) (2 Corinthians 5:16-17) We all, each and everyone the same, are born again by believing what 1 John 5:1,4) reveals...Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ IS IS IS IS IS Born of God, IS BORN AGAIN.Ephesians 4:23-24 in the spirit of our being. What we need to do is to more and more let the new holy spirit created man within rise up and rule. It is a NEW CREATION created by Jesus Christ in our spirit within (See Ephesians 4:23-24). As new Born Again spirits/babes we grow in spiritual strength from feeding off the milk unto the meat of the word until the inner child waxes strong unto stronger in the Lord and arises in strength and in greater and greater love for God and makes it his daily commitment and decision to please God as he takes control of the old man of his sinful flesh and denies the old man daily, takes up his cross or his calling, and do what Jesus has called him or her to do in love and in the light of the gospel.....deno....share freely.

Being Born Again.....Study #2. New revelations awaiting many of you in the light of this study.....deno......please share freely
We learned in our first lesson that being born again is totally of the spirit at present and has nothing to do with the flesh (John 3:5-6). Jesus said, He that made that which is without also made that which is within man(Luke 11:40). We learned that God is a Spirit (John 5:24) and that He is the Father of spirits (Hebrews 12:9,23). We learned that God created man by Jesus Christ with 3 distinguishable parts, spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 & John 6:63). We learned from 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 that from now on, those of us who are In Christ are to no longer only identify and know one another after the flesh. Nor are we to judge all things about another in Christ after the physical senses or after the physical appearance because we know now IN THE INWARD MAN (1st Corinthians 4:16), IN THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART (1st Peter 3:4), IN OUR SPIRIT MAN WITHIN (James 2:26) we have become NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST JESUS IN THE SPIRIT OF OUR BEING. We are A NEW CREATION OF GOD IN AND BY JESUS CHRIST who re created our spirit, our inner man in His Spirit's holy image and holy likeness. That is amazing GOSPEL GOOD NEWS TRUTH....see (John 1:1-3 & Ephesians 4:23-24)). As Paul preached, he said,. Know we NO LONGER each other after our flesh or physical appearances. We now know one another after our inner man, after our spirit where in is the NEW CREATURE.
Listen carefully. He said we now no longer know Christ after the flesh but after the Spirit. We know His Spirits Nature is unfeigned great love. We know His Spirits nature is Righteousness, and we know His Spirit nature is True Holiness. So by our knowing what Christ is IN HIS SPIRIT, in the given light of these basic three attributes of HIS SPIRIT, we identify Him. We know Him, and and we know what is of Him. Love. Righteousness. True Holiness. That is our Masters Spirit.
Now I am about to share something here that I pray your eyes will be opened to see it. With this that was just said in mind, knowing that we, the believers in Christ Jesus are NEW CREATURES, not in our flesh or outer man; But we are NEW CREATURES born again in our inner MAN....IN OUR SPIRIT. (Now it is very important that we remember again that we now only know Christ after His Spirits Nature and not after what he looks like, or dresses like, or smells like in the flesh. We now only know Him thru His Spirit nature and being as we said is Love, Righteousness and True Holiness).
Now let us go and read what the WORD OF GOD SAYS ABOUT THE NATURE OF OUR SPIRITS THAT JESUS HAS RECREATED AND MADE NEW CREATIONS. What can we know about the nature of our NEW RE CREATED SPIRIT? It is by the nature of the attributes of our new spirits created by God in Christ that we are to know ourselves and one another by, In Christ, IN THE SPIRIT. Here in these scriptures to come we can now know one another after our spirit.
Ephesians 4:23-24)
vs23) And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. (Learn to now think after the spirit and not after the flesh. Be renewed in this.
vs24) And that you put on (Let be in control), THE NEW MAN, (the new man is the NEW CREATURE in the spirit of our being)...... NOTE THIS....(read again 2 Corinthians 5:16-18-21)this is how we are and how we are to see and know one another after the new creature in Christ, after the born again inner man, the spirit man within......And that you put on (Put in control of your life...see Galations 5:16-17) the NEW MAN which after God (God is a Spirit), which is like God it's Father in nature) CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS. That's what Christ wants us to see in this light.
Friends in the flesh we all are sinful, evil, and devilish in nature (Read Romans 7:14-25). But in our NEW MAN, In the spirit man within, we are new creatures in Christ Jesus, who in the spirit of our being are not in no way like the nature of our sinful flesh. God has CREATED us who are born again, God has created us in our spirits in the nature and likeness of His Holy, Righteous Spirit. He created us after His Spirits image in Righteousness and True Holiness after the IMAGE OF IT'S HOLY HOLY HOLY FATHER. WOW WOW WOW WOW...When you see that GOOD NEWS GLORIOUS LIGHT, You to will say WOW WOW WOW..... So we may be ugly and awful and sinful in the nature and ways of the present sinful flesh, BUT IN THE REAL CHILD OF GOD WITHIN, IN THE HIDDEN MAN, IN OUR SPIRITS CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS AS WE JUST READ, CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS, WE SEE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND TOTALLY OPPOSITE NATURE, COURSE, AND STORY. So this I say said the apostle Paul, In Christ, Walk by your New Holy Righteousness spirit and you will not fulfill the sinful nature of your flesh (Galations 5:16-17)(Read Romans 7:6-serve the Lord in your newness of spirit......Let us continue.
* * * * * * *
And we learned more.....We learned also that God is a Spirit. Angels are spirits (Hebrews 1:7,14). Demons and devils are spirits (Luke 10:17-20), and that our bodies without our spirit in it is dead (James 2:26 & Luke 8:49-56)). Now in this brief lesson I want us to learn something very important. The knowledge of this will help us understand things we need to see about our spirit that is born again in Christ.
Notice with me God, Angels, demons, and man, all are spirit beings. Man is a spirit. In God's eyes, man is a spirit living within a physical body. He made man unique I say. He made man to where He and man could live and fellowship together as two spirits become one spirit fellowship(1 Corinthians 6:17) inside these physical temples which He created to be a holy habitation, a holy dwelling place for God's Spirit with man's spirit, living, walking, supping, working together from within these physical bodies(Ephesians 2:21-21 & 1 Corinthians 6:17,19-20).
Man was created to where He would have the best of God's taste, presence and fellowship within, and also at the same time man could, with his physical senses, daily contact and enjoy the taste of the Lord that the Lord put of Himself in all the marvels of God in the physical creation and universe; and as mans population increased into the billions and trillions over the centuries of time, God who is always wanting to prepare a place for us for our fellowship with Him, stretched out the heavens, the galaxies so vast so that we would always have far far far more than enough room and space for all our eternity increasing numbers as we continued to be fruitful and to multiply into trillions over eternity.
Well sin and death put a serious damper on the original plan, but thanks be to God for the healing, redeeming, reconciling, restoring, saving power of the blood of our Lord and the exceeding great power of His Cross. It is written, I create all things new (Revelations 21:1,5). And, when the times of restoration and refreshing shall come from the presence of His glory (Acts 3:19-21). Amen.
* * * * * * * *
Notice with me the words we just read that Jesus said, He said, "Behold, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW". Now that speaks volumes. Now with that in mind let's recall the scripture in our study from 2 Corinthians 5:17, it reads. "If any man (his spirit, we already learned that - John 6:63 & John 3:5-7), If any man's spirit be in Christ Jesus, he is...he is what???.....he is a NEW CREATURE OR A NEW CREATION, old things are passed away, behold, look, understand, take spiritual notice, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. Jesus, our Creator and our Redeemer has made something new. IT IS IN OUR SPIRIT. IN THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART. IN THE ONE THAT LIVES BEYOND THE GRAVE.
Friends from the word of the Lord we have the Holy Ghost opening our eyes to the glorious reality that in and thru Christ, God has done something wonderful ALREADY to every mans spirit that is born again by faith IN CHRIST. It is not something that is going to occur in the future, but is a work of His Son's gospels new creating seed, and creating glory that has already been wrought within us, in our heavenly place within, in our spirit (John 3:5-12). I adjure by God and grace that every spirit that is born again in Christ Jesus is A NEW CREATURE, A NEW CREATION. That that spirit that is born again has already passed from death unto life in the power of it's own resurrection by the resurrection life of Jesus Christ implanted into it and with Jesus Christ (John 5:24) (Ephesians 2:1-10) and that born again spirit is as raised from spiritual death unto spiritual life everlasting even as Our Lord's very body was CHANGED AND TRANSFORMED AND RAISED & RESURRECTED BRAND NEW FROM IT'S PHYSICAL DEATH UNTO A NEW PHYSICAL CREATION OF PHYSICAL LIFE EVERLASTING untouchable by death or anything of deaths power.
Christ newly recreated/changed/transformed/resurrected physical body is forever and forever beyond the reach of death. All the destructive powers of Satan and of all the curse in all the universe, if it all came together and blew up in one big massive gigantic explosion right in the face of our risen Lord and His Resurrected Body, the explosion with all the dust of heaven and earth would dissolve and pass away, but our Lord and His Resurrected Body would be fully left in perfect tact, standing totally alive and totally untouched by that gigantic explosion, NOT EVEN SCARRED the least bit, with not one hair lost.
Did you know that the same exact power of God that God exerted from His eternal Spirits everlasting glory and eternal might that He injected and poured into Christ body that was dead in that grave and raise it from the dead to be forever new,, forever changed and transformed and totally UNTOUCHABLE by death, that same power of God God used when He by Jesus Christ recreated our spirits that are within us when we believed and mixed our hearts faith with the gospel (Hebrews 4:2 & 1 Peter 1:22-25 Ephesians 1:19-20). That exact same nature changing, conditional changing, life saving, spirit resurrecting, life sustaining, life keeping, exalting, spirit transforming resurrection Power of Jesus Christ was exactly what God poured into us, into our inner man, into our spirit man that is born again? (read Ephesians 1:16-20). pray to see and understand it.
All the spiritual power of all the law of sin and death, and all the power of Satan and of death, hell and of the grave itself, if it all came together at once against the spirit that is born again, and that Jesus himself made a new Creature in Christ, (in whose spirit Christ is it's seed and it's eternal everlasting spirit life power, life might, and force); if all those evil powers exploded in an all out spiritual attack against that regenerated born again spirit; it is good to note that by the same eternal Law of life and by the Law of everlasting life, might and power that God poured into Jesus' body when He changed it and raised it from the dead and created it untouchable by decay or death, evenso by the eternal everlasting power that is in the everlasting Law now alive and functioning in the being and in the changed resurrected risen body of Christ who is our life (Colossians 3:1-4); that born again spirit will go untouched by all those evil powers onslaughts.
All of them combined have not the power in themselves at all to destroy us. All they can hope for (NOTE THIS), is to try to deceive us in hope that we will turn against our own soul, against our own life, so that by our own choice or by our unbelief, whether willfully or by deception we choose to regurgitate Christ back out of us and out of our lives and future.
They (Satan and the demons) know that they cannot do this. They know we have to. So they war against out knowledge. Against our time. Against out daily agenda's. Against our understanding. Against our will, tempting our desires. Against our believing. Against out light getting and against our light seeing. Against out choices and decision making realms.
If we choose to walk away from Christ in unbelief or rebellion BY WILLFUL DECISION AND WILLFUL CHOICE, then in that decision we commit the sin unto death as written in (1st John 5:16). To do so is the main reason why Satan and all of his wicked deceiving spirits do all that they can do in their wrestling against us, against the church, and against our faith, hope, and love, and against the gospel truth to pervert the gospel. They do this gospel perverting so to make our faith powerless and non effective thru the believing of lies, so that we being deceived with another gospel or another hope, or another so called saving way, we commit spiritual hurts or spiritual suicide by the mix of faith with those lies and errors, walking away from Christ and the hope we have in Him by choice.

.NOTE.
As long as Christ himself is the eternal life force and eternal life glory of the spirit of he that believes, that spirit shall never taste of death again just as Christ eternal Spirit and His resurrected body can never decay, die, or taste of death ever again. But if the believer becomes deceived as Eve was as to believe a spiritual lie that killeth making him regurgitate Christ and leave Christ; or as Adam, who with his eyes wide open willfully and willingly chose the path of disobedience and severance unto death. That once believing soul, for whatever the reason or the how for his unbelief and departure from Christ, he, eating of the forbidden fruit of unbelief again, to the degree of the emptying from himself Christ and grace, then Christ who was his life, being now severed from the branch,( and only by the branches own choice), that branch then cuts ITSELF OFF and falls from grace. He falls from life back into spiritual death. He falls from being Risen with Christ to falling fully under the Lords feet. That branch then is no longer any good. It will be burned by the word of the Lord in the day God burns up the chaff and the broken off branches with unquenchable fire. *See Hebrews 1:13 & John 15:4-6). I know these are strong, tough words but they must be penned.
Supporting scriptures: Hebrews 10:23-39,
Friends, that is why Jesus taught us and warned us and admonished us with his words and with his blood, for us to REMAIN AND ABIDE IN HIM (John 15:4-6 & Colossians 1:20-23) Be not removed from Jesus. The consequences for leaving Him is Satan's fate falling upon you.... There exist no other hope unto the saving of the spirit, soul, and the body outside the Cross of Jesus Christ and his everlasting resurrection. All other religions & theories are fantasies and fables of demons, and of deceiving devils given to the wondering souls and minds of men to mislead. BELIEVE IN CHRIST. REMAIN IN CHRIST. LOVE CHRIST. CLEAVE TO CHRIST. OBEY CHRIST AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST LOVED US.......deno.......please share freely.

Listen carefully. He said we now no longer know Christ after the flesh but after the Spirit. We know His Spirits Nature is unfeigned great love. We know His Spirits nature is Righteousness, and we know His Spirit nature is True Holiness. So by our knowing what Christ is IN HIS SPIRIT, in the given light of these basic three attributes of HIS SPIRIT, we identify Him. We know Him, and and we know what is of Him. Love. Righteousness. True Holiness. That is our Masters Spirit.
Now I am about to share something here that I pray your eyes will be opened to see it. With this that was just said in mind, knowing that we, the believers in Christ Jesus are NEW CREATURES, not in our flesh or outer man; But we are NEW CREATURES born again in our inner MAN....IN OUR SPIRIT. (Now it is very important that we remember again that we now only know Christ after His Spirits Nature and not after what he looks like, or dresses like, or smells like in the flesh. We now only know Him thru His Spirit nature and being as we said is Love, Righteousness and True Holiness).
Now let us go and read what the WORD OF GOD SAYS ABOUT THE NATURE OF OUR SPIRITS THAT JESUS HAS RECREATED AND MADE NEW CREATIONS. What can we know about the nature of our NEW RE CREATED SPIRIT? It is by the nature of the attributes of our new spirits created by God in Christ that we are to know ourselves and one another by, In Christ, IN THE SPIRIT. Here in these scriptures to come we can now know one another after our spirit.
Ephesians 4:23-24)
vs23) And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. (Learn to now think after the spirit and not after the flesh. Be renewed in this.
vs24) And that you put on (Let be in control), THE NEW MAN, (the new man is the NEW CREATURE in the spirit of our being)...... NOTE THIS....(read again 2 Corinthians 5:16-18-21)this is how we are and how we are to see and know one another after the new creature in Christ, after the born again inner man, the spirit man within......And that you put on (Put in control of your life...see Galations 5:16-17) the NEW MAN which after God (God is a Spirit), which is like God it's Father in nature) CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS. That's what Christ wants us to see in this light.
Friends in the flesh we all are sinful, evil, and devilish in nature (Read Romans 7:14-25). But in our NEW MAN, In the spirit man within, we are new creatures in Christ Jesus, who in the spirit of our being are not in no way like the nature of our sinful flesh. God has CREATED us who are born again, God has created us in our spirits in the nature and likeness of His Holy, Righteous Spirit. He created us after His Spirits image in Righteousness and True Holiness after the IMAGE OF IT'S HOLY HOLY HOLY FATHER. WOW WOW WOW WOW...When you see that GOOD NEWS GLORIOUS LIGHT, You to will say WOW WOW WOW..... So we may be ugly and awful and sinful in the nature and ways of the present sinful flesh, BUT IN THE REAL CHILD OF GOD WITHIN, IN THE HIDDEN MAN, IN OUR SPIRITS CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS AS WE JUST READ, CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS, WE SEE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND TOTALLY OPPOSITE NATURE, COURSE, AND STORY. So this I say said the apostle Paul, In Christ, Walk by your New Holy Righteousness spirit and you will not fulfill the sinful nature of your flesh (Galations 5:16-17)(Read Romans 7:6-serve the Lord in your newness of spirit......Let us continue.
* * * * * * *
And we learned more.....We learned also that God is a Spirit. Angels are spirits (Hebrews 1:7,14). Demons and devils are spirits (Luke 10:17-20), and that our bodies without our spirit in it is dead (James 2:26 & Luke 8:49-56)). Now in this brief lesson I want us to learn something very important. The knowledge of this will help us understand things we need to see about our spirit that is born again in Christ.
Notice with me God, Angels, demons, and man, all are spirit beings. Man is a spirit. In God's eyes, man is a spirit living within a physical body. He made man unique I say. He made man to where He and man could live and fellowship together as two spirits become one spirit fellowship(1 Corinthians 6:17) inside these physical temples which He created to be a holy habitation, a holy dwelling place for God's Spirit with man's spirit, living, walking, supping, working together from within these physical bodies(Ephesians 2:21-21 & 1 Corinthians 6:17,19-20).
Man was created to where He would have the best of God's taste, presence and fellowship within, and also at the same time man could, with his physical senses, daily contact and enjoy the taste of the Lord that the Lord put of Himself in all the marvels of God in the physical creation and universe; and as mans population increased into the billions and trillions over the centuries of time, God who is always wanting to prepare a place for us for our fellowship with Him, stretched out the heavens, the galaxies so vast so that we would always have far far far more than enough room and space for all our eternity increasing numbers as we continued to be fruitful and to multiply into trillions over eternity.
Well sin and death put a serious damper on the original plan, but thanks be to God for the healing, redeeming, reconciling, restoring, saving power of the blood of our Lord and the exceeding great power of His Cross. It is written, I create all things new (Revelations 21:1,5). And, when the times of restoration and refreshing shall come from the presence of His glory (Acts 3:19-21). Amen.
* * * * * * * *
Notice with me the words we just read that Jesus said, He said, "Behold, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW". Now that speaks volumes. Now with that in mind let's recall the scripture in our study from 2 Corinthians 5:17, it reads. "If any man (his spirit, we already learned that - John 6:63 & John 3:5-7), If any man's spirit be in Christ Jesus, he is...he is what???.....he is a NEW CREATURE OR A NEW CREATION, old things are passed away, behold, look, understand, take spiritual notice, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. Jesus, our Creator and our Redeemer has made something new. IT IS IN OUR SPIRIT. IN THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART. IN THE ONE THAT LIVES BEYOND THE GRAVE.
Friends from the word of the Lord we have the Holy Ghost opening our eyes to the glorious reality that in and thru Christ, God has done something wonderful ALREADY to every mans spirit that is born again by faith IN CHRIST.

(read Ephesians 1:16-20). pray to see and understand it.
All the spiritual power of all the law of sin and death, and all the power of Satan and of death, hell and of the grave itself, if it all came together at once against the spirit that is born again, and that Jesus himself made a new Creature in Christ, (in whose spirit Christ is it's seed and it's eternal everlasting spirit life power, life might, and force); if all those evil powers exploded in an all out spiritual attack against that regenerated born again spirit; it is good to note that by the same eternal Law of life and by the Law of everlasting life, might and power that God poured into Jesus' body when He changed it and raised it from the dead and created it untouchable by decay or death, evenso by the eternal everlasting power that is in the everlasting Law now alive and functioning in the being and in the changed resurrected risen body of Christ who is our life (Colossians 3:1-4); that born again spirit will go untouched by all those evil powers onslaughts.

We Wrestle....deno.....please share freely
These
two things I heave learned and know to be the truth that fits
everyone's life at one time or another or at many opportune times. They
are these. #1) Satan will much wrestle with you to take the gospel and
God's Word out of your heart and God's promise out of your hope- Mark
4.... #2) He will also wrestle with you to wrestle you out of the will
of God....
For instance......
Let's fast. He responds, No let's eat.
Let's pray. No let's play.
Let's study God's Word. No let's buzz the internet.
Let's talk about Jesus. No let's talk about the American idol.
Let' go to church. No let's go to the movies.
Let's do the right thing. No let's do the pleasure thing.
Let's walk humble with our God. No let's be cocky and puffed up with vanity and pride.
Let's turn the cheek. No let's sue the shirt off their children.....on and on it goes.....
James wrote to us and said. Submit to God. Resist the devil. Overcome evil by doing good...Just a reminder...This word is for some one today....Was it you????.......deno

Updated..Being Born Again...Study # 1)....by deno...please share freely
Before you read this writing and study please pray this prayer.
Heavenly Father in Jesus Name I praise You. I come to you right now asking you to open my eyes that I may see and understand Your bread in this light that I am about to read. Holy Spirit quicken this light to me. Cause me to see what the Spirit of the Lord is teaching and unveiling in this study. Build me up in its truth and goodness. For this I give you praise and thanksgiving Father. Amen....
Being born again or born of God is a new creation reality. It is not of the flesh so get your mind off of that, but of the spirit of man, put your thinking now on that. Put your mind in this study on your real you, your inner self, YOUR SPIRIT, the man or the part of you that lives on beyond the grave. (You do have one you know, that is (a spirit) and he (your spirit) lives forever.
Just as the scriptures say that we must believe that God exist and that God is a Spirit (Hebrews 11:6 & John 4:24), even so we must believe we to are and have a spirit within(James 2:26). You must believe that you have a spirit and that God is the Father of spirits and God rewards the spirits that diligently seek Him and that God longs for His children to worship Him in spirit and in truth, see Hebrews 12:9,23) (2 Corinthians 7:16-17).
Spirits walk, and talk. and commune with spirits in similar ways like flesh to flesh do. Our spirit was created by the Lord in the beginning, to be the spiritual thing and the heavenly place in man, within us, within these bodies where God, who is a Spirit, would fellowship and talk with us and dwell with us by His Spirit in our inner man (John 4:24)....that Christ may dwell in your heart by faith....and again , it is written, Strengthened with all might By God's Spirit in your spirit, your inner man....REMEMBER? Ephesians 3:16-17. Jesus had unhindered, unquenched, ungrieved comminion, conversation, and communication with the Spirit of His Father within his body when on earth. See John 14:19,23, John 5:19-20,30.
* * * * * * * * *
Jesus said YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. Jesus Said, that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:6). Jesus said this is a heavenly thing, it is the spirit of man that is the Lord's primary focus in (John 3:9-12). It is about the SPIRIT IN MAN, in us, not our flesh (See 1 Thessalonians 5:23 mans 3 parts).
Jesus said, A man must be born again. Jesus called our spirit, A MAN. Paul called our inside self, our spirit "THE INNER MAN "(2 Corinthians 4:16). Peter called our spirit, the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4). Your spirit must be BORN AGAIN Jesus said (meaning recreated). He did not say your spirit needs to be born. It already existed (See James 2:26). (John 3:3,5) He said it needed to be BORN *AGAIN*. Again being the key point, meaning changed, meaning recreated. Changed and transformed in it's own resurrection. The NEW BIRTH, Being BORN AGAIN is John 5:21, 24,26 fulfilled of and IN THE SPIRIT OF MAN. Jesus was not speaking here of the bodies resurrection in the end of time. He said of this scripture CONCERNING THE TIME FOR THIS, he said, The TIME for this resurrection NOW IS. IS RIGHT NOW. That is the REDEMPTION OF OUR SPIRIT.
Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:16 that from now on, those of us who are In Christ, we do not identify or know one another anymore after the flesh, referring to/bringing our focus to/our attention to knowing one another after the spirit, after OUR INNER MAN, OUR SPIRITS newly born again. Then he said in vs 17 the reason why. He wrote,... for if any man (meaning the hidden man of the heart 1 Peter 3:4, mans spirit, see also James 2:26, and Luke 8:54-55), for if any man be IN CHRIST, he (his inward man, his hidden man of his heart, his spirit) is A NEW CREATURE or NEW CREATION. He said of this new man that all of it's former things are gone and everything of this man is new and all this new is of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17. Paul was in the spirit speaking after that which is born of the Spirit for such is spirit and not flesh. Did you get that last sentence before this one? Very important light there just spoken. If not, then go back and read that sentence one more time.
Now we all know that Paul is not referring to the outer man above as a new creation for that is evident. We all have the same ol flesh, the same ol wrinkles, or scars, or aging physical body after we are saved and born again as we had when we were living in darkness separated from He that is the light of life. It, the bodies re birthing will take place, yes, but that will take place by the power of God later down the road in the future when it is changed in the twinkling of an eye at the coming of the Lord and in the resurrection as spoken of in (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 & 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 & Philippians 3:20-21). No Paul is heavenly minded (John 3:12). Paul in this new creation born again light, is spiritual now in his wisdom and not carnal. Paul is inward man minded. Paul is out of the mind of the flesh and in the spirit. Paul is walking in the spirit not in the flesh (Galations 5:16-17). Paul is inside spirit minded as Christ was (See John 6:63). We need to be so as well or we will fall short of understanding much of Paul's revelations as revealed in Ephesians 2:1-10) and of other SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS that the flesh does not profit from.
Paul preached, If any man be In Christ he is a new CREATURE. He that is a new creature in Christ, scriptures have been fulfilled INSIDE HIM (Important Point There). He, in his inner man, in the heavenly place of the kingdom of God within, in the hidden man of his heart has been BORN AGAIN, changed in his spirit man, re created in his invisible thing, in his invisible man, in his spirit (See Colossians 1:14-17). The scriptures that have been fulfilled in him, fulfilled on the INSIDE OF HIM IN HIS INNER MAN, IN HIS SPIRIT are these. Read them, study them all, John 3:3,5,6 & John 5:24 & John 6:63 & 2 Corinthians 5:17 & Galations 6:14-16 & Ephesians 2:1-10 & Ephesians 4:23-24 & Colossians 1:12-14 & Colossians 2:10 & Colossians 3:1-4 & Colossians 3:10-11 & 1 John 5:1-4 ( John 3:1-2 & Colossians 1:27).
Well now that we have you inside minded. Now that we have wet your spiritual appetite. Now that we have you spirit of man within minded, we will stop this section of the light and ask that you study the scriptures listed all thru this writing. Familiarize yourself to them. Feast on them until their light dawns.
Friends Jesus taught us about heavenly things. He opened our minds to Spirit and spiritual realities, things and about spirit beings. He even told us that GOD IS A SPIRIT, that Angels are spirits, that demons are spirits. And He taught and has revealed to us that Man He created with 3 parts as revealed in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, it reads.....And the very God of peace sanctify all your parts; and I pray to God that your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. vs 24) Faithful is the Lord that has called you, he will do this.
Friends we all are spirit beings. We presently live inside these physical bodies. Our spirits are the mystery life force to the blood, James 2:26. Our soul is the place in us of our minds and emotions and reasoning faculties. If the spirit is not saved. If the spirit is never born again or re created in Christ Jesus which is always God's creating place so to speak (See John 1:1-3), then ALL IS LOST FOREVER of that person. That is why Jesus so seriously emphasized that YOU MUST, YOU MUST, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
All of Christ glory that they beheld of him (John 1:14) when he walked on earth that made him stand miles and miles above all the rest, was He and the Fathers Heavenly Spiritual Realities so Greatly Manifested, and their Spirit Power, their Spirit Light, their Spirit Love, their Spirit Holiness, Mercy, Compassion, Wisdom, Power and Glory thru the GREAT ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WAS WITHIN AND UPON JESUS WITHOUT MEASURE (John 3:34 & Acts 10:38 & John 14:10)....and this God, who is a Spirit. Our God, our Almighty Heavenly Holy Father has done a great thing of Himself to OUR SPIRITS that are born again in Christ Jesus. Stay tuned to find out. Much more to come about this very subject......Glory to God in Jesus Name, Amen......Love you In Christ Jesus......deno.....please share freely
Heavenly Father in Jesus Name I praise You. I come to you right now asking you to open my eyes that I may see and understand Your bread in this light that I am about to read. Holy Spirit quicken this light to me. Cause me to see what the Spirit of the Lord is teaching and unveiling in this study. Build me up in its truth and goodness.

See John 14:19,23, John 5:19-20,30.

Jesus said YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. Jesus Said, that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:6). Jesus said this is a heavenly thing, it is the spirit of man that is the Lord's primary focus in (John 3:9-12). It is about the SPIRIT IN MAN, in us, not our flesh (See 1 Thessalonians 5:23 mans 3 parts).
Jesus said, A man must be born again. Jesus called our spirit, A MAN. Paul called our inside self, our spirit "THE INNER MAN "(2 Corinthians 4:16). Peter called our spirit, the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4). Your spirit must be BORN AGAIN Jesus said (meaning recreated). He did not say your spirit needs to be born. It already existed (See James 2:26). (John 3:3,5) He said it needed to be BORN *AGAIN*. Again being the key point, meaning changed, meaning recreated. Changed and transformed in it's own resurrection. The NEW BIRTH, Being BORN AGAIN is John 5:21, 24,26 fulfilled of and IN THE SPIRIT OF MAN. Jesus was not speaking here of the bodies resurrection in the end of time. He said of this scripture CONCERNING THE TIME FOR THIS, he said, The TIME for this resurrection NOW IS. IS RIGHT NOW. That is the REDEMPTION OF OUR SPIRIT.
Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:16 that from now on, those of us who are In Christ, we do not identify or know one another anymore after the flesh, referring to/bringing our focus to/our attention to knowing one another after the spirit, after OUR INNER MAN, OUR SPIRITS newly born again. Then he said in vs 17 the reason why. He wrote,... for if any man (meaning the hidden man of the heart 1 Peter 3:4, mans spirit, see also James 2:26, and Luke 8:54-55), for if any man be IN CHRIST, he (his inward man, his hidden man of his heart, his spirit) is A NEW CREATURE or NEW CREATION. He said of this new man that all of it's former things are gone and everything of this man is new and all this new is of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17. Paul was in the spirit speaking after that which is born of the Spirit for such is spirit and not flesh. Did you get that last sentence before this one? Very important light there just spoken. If not, then go back and read that sentence one more time.
Now we all know that Paul is not referring to the outer man above as a new creation for that is evident. We all have the same ol flesh, the same ol wrinkles, or scars, or aging physical body after we are saved and born again as we had when we were living in darkness separated from He that is the light of life. It, the bodies re birthing will take place, yes, but that will take place by the power of God later down the road in the future when it is changed in the twinkling of an eye at the coming of the Lord and in the resurrection as spoken of in (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 & 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 & Philippians 3:20-21). No Paul is heavenly minded (John 3:12). Paul in this new creation born again light, is spiritual now in his wisdom and not carnal. Paul is inward man minded. Paul is out of the mind of the flesh and in the spirit. Paul is walking in the spirit not in the flesh (Galations 5:16-17). Paul is inside spirit minded as Christ was (See John 6:63). We need to be so as well or we will fall short of understanding much of Paul's revelations as revealed in Ephesians 2:1-10) and of other SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS that the flesh does not profit from.
Paul preached, If any man be In Christ he is a new CREATURE. He that is a new creature in Christ, scriptures have been fulfilled INSIDE HIM (Important Point There). He, in his inner man, in the heavenly place of the kingdom of God within, in the hidden man of his heart has been BORN AGAIN, changed in his spirit man, re created in his invisible thing, in his invisible man, in his spirit (See Colossians 1:14-17). The scriptures that have been fulfilled in him, fulfilled on the INSIDE OF HIM IN HIS INNER MAN, IN HIS SPIRIT are these. Read them, study them all, John 3:3,5,6 & John 5:24 & John 6:63 & 2 Corinthians 5:17 & Galations 6:14-16 & Ephesians 2:1-10 & Ephesians 4:23-24 & Colossians 1:12-14 & Colossians 2:10 & Colossians 3:1-4 & Colossians 3:10-11 & 1 John 5:1-4 ( John 3:1-2 & Colossians 1:27).
Well now that we have you inside minded. Now that we have wet your spiritual appetite. Now that we have you spirit of man within minded, we will stop this section of the light and ask that you study the scriptures listed all thru this writing. Familiarize yourself to them. Feast on them until their light dawns.
Friends Jesus taught us about heavenly things. He opened our minds to Spirit and spiritual realities, things and about spirit beings. He even told us that GOD IS A SPIRIT, that Angels are spirits, that demons are spirits. And He taught and has revealed to us that Man He created with 3 parts as revealed in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, it reads.....And the very God of peace sanctify all your parts; and I pray to God that your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. vs 24) Faithful is the Lord that has called you, he will do this.
Friends we all are spirit beings. We presently live inside these physical bodies. Our spirits are the mystery life force to the blood, James 2:26. Our soul is the place in us of our minds and emotions and reasoning faculties. If the spirit is not saved. If the spirit is never born again or re created in Christ Jesus which is always God's creating place so to speak (See John 1:1-3), then ALL IS LOST FOREVER of that person. That is why Jesus so seriously emphasized that YOU MUST, YOU MUST, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
All of Christ glory that they beheld of him (John 1:14) when he walked on earth that made him stand miles and miles above all the rest, was He and the Fathers Heavenly Spiritual Realities so Greatly Manifested, and their Spirit Power, their Spirit Light, their Spirit Love, their Spirit Holiness, Mercy, Compassion, Wisdom, Power and Glory thru the GREAT ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WAS WITHIN AND UPON JESUS WITHOUT MEASURE (John 3:34 & Acts 10:38 & John 14:10)....and this God, who is a Spirit. Our God, our Almighty Heavenly Holy Father has done a great thing of Himself to OUR SPIRITS that are born again in Christ Jesus. Stay tuned to find out. Much more to come about this very subject......Glory to God in Jesus Name, Amen......Love you In Christ Jesus......deno.....please share freely
