5 Jesus answered, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.’ ~ John 3:5-6
We often hear the phrase, ‘I’m not a spiritual person.’ This phrase has become especially popular in the Church. We’re no longer spiritual people. Why? I think it stems from fear. The fear of the unknown. The fear of seeming weird or abnormal. The fear of rejection from others. But why? Why do we feel this way?
Jesus told us that we must be born of the Spirit in order to enter the kingdom of God. Therefore, if the Devil can keep us separated from God, then we will become lukewarm and spiritually die. Ever wonder why we no longer hear of miracles or see healings take place? Could it be that we’ve distanced ourselves from God? From His Spirit? The World has become more ‘spiritual’ than the Church. They seek out Mediums, spells, witchcraft, etc., to satisfy the hunger they have inside of them for more.
When the Church is spiritually on fire again, like the Acts chapter 2 Church, then we will see a revival happen. Don’t allow your fear to keep you from spiritually growing. Press in and grow closer to God than never before, and He will do the same. What we put into our relationship with God is what He will put into His relationship with us. Pray and seek a spiritual revival that we might see the wonder and glory of God in our day and age.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Seek More.
