Listen to this teaching here:
In John 3.1 there was a man of the Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night, he didn't want to show people. He came with secret questions. He was a man with an open heart.
We have many religious people. They are in the church, they are fronting something, but they are not quite secure in the spirit.
So pray that more people can come to the truth about being born again.
Born of water and the spirit
John 3.1
Nicodemus said: Rabbi we know that you are a teacher, come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.
Jesus answered and said to him, most assuredly I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus said to him, how can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?
Jesus answered, most assuredly I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that what is born of the spirit is spirit.
Do not marvel at what I say to you, you must be born again.
The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes.
Nicodemus answered and said to him, how can these things happen?
Or how can these things be?
And you see here that they knew about the wind, what is the wind?
There are a lot of fake thoughts about the winds. It is coming with the wind, it is coming from nowhere, it is no, and it just wishes, where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from.
But it is about being born of the spirit and the living water.
And how can this happen?
Jesus is saying something when he was by the well with the Samaritan woman.
Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisee had heard that Jesus baptized more People than John.
Do you see that the disciple of Jesus, they baptized people after they have been baptized by John the Baptist also.
John did a baptism of repentance.
But the baptism of Jesus is where you become one with him.
So there is a big difference between a baptism of repentance, and to be one with Christ.
At the well in Samaria
Jesus arrived at a city in Samaria known as Shikar, located close to the well to whom Jacob had given a well to the people.
It was in this city that Jacob's well could be found.
Jesus was there being tired from his journey and sat down by the well and it was about the sixth hour.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, give me a drink, for his disciples had gone into the city to buy food.
Then the woman of Samaria said to him, how is that you being a Jew ask me a samaritan woman for anything to drink, for the Jews have no dealing with Samaria
The living water
Jesus answered as said to her, if you knew the gift of God and who is who says to you, give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.
The woman said to him, sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep, how then can you get the living water.
Are you greater than father Jacob who gave us the well and drank from it himself as well as his sons and his livestock.
Jesus answered and said to her, whoever drinks of the water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him, he will never thirst.
But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.
Jesus is the Word that will born you from above.
When Jesus said to Nicodemus to be born again, he used the word that you can translate to be born from above, you get born from heaven.
We were born of the devil
After constantly sin and we turn away from God, we was born by the devil.
God was crying
I will share a testimony or something that happened years ago.
I was in prayer and suddenly I saw God was crying.
Small tears fall down from his eyes on dry cracked mud.
Many of you know very well that in the dry season when the dry mud gets very hard and it gets broken.
Small tears fall down from his eyes down on the dry cracked mud.
Slowly the mud became softer and softer.
Water started to flow from the tree and down on the mud for the soil.
And God is crying.
God is crying for all people on earth today.
It's a lot of sorrow. But God is crying and his tears are falling upon people's hearts.
It is time for revival, it's time for harvest
It's so many people that God's tears are falling upon.
And Jesus is also saying in some Bible words, I take care of the people that the Father has given me.
And the same with us, we can only take care of the people that the Father is giving us.
He has to call upon the people.
He has to pour out his spirit.
He has to let his tears fall upon people's hearts.
In Isaiah 45, God let the living water come upon the earth.
And God created Adam from earth mud.
Listen carefully here.
Rain came down on you from heaven above.
In another translation it's saying, doe rain, soft rain, come down and let the skies pour down righteousness.
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation and let the righteousness bring up together.
I the Lord have created it.
God is calling people
God's tears falling upon people's hearts.
And we need God's tears into our hearts many times.
Because when we are in tribulation, a lot of things getting hard a hearts,
but we need to be softened again by the Lord's grace and mercy.
What you see here is the living water that came down and it was created righteousness.
It's falling on the mud.
It falls upon people's hearts.
God our Heavenly Father call upon people and let the spirit of living water comes upon their heart so they seek salvation.
He creates righteousness inside us
But we must receive it by faith.
So how can we receive it?
We receive things by listening, by reading.
The Word of God in the New Testament is the living water that is giving us salvation.
Jesus is saying whoever shall call upon my name of the Lord shall be saved.
And we need to be saved (rescued) almost every day from all kinds of situations.
Call upon the name of Jesus
They need to call upon the name of Jesus for the situation to come through, because then he will bring and carry us through the problems.
And it's also written in the Bible that those who believe shall be saved.
It is written in Hebrew, if you look at the meaning of the Word to “believe” is to be one with Christ, be one with the Word of God, then you shall be saved.
It's not enought only to believe, but you have to let the Word of God, the living water penetrates your mind, your soul and your spirit.
Then you shall be saved.
Therefore it is also saying you have to work on your salvation with fear. (An ongoing renewing of the spirit of your mind)
In John 7 we can see that Jesus is saying, on the last day, the great day, Jesus stood and cried out saying, if anyone thirst come to me and drink, he who believes in me as the scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
This is concerning the spirit whom those believing in him, because the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
This is the promise that when we receive the tears of the Lord, we receive, he writes into our hearts as He said.
He also poured out his spirit to the apostles. He gave us the Holy Spirit.
So the living water can flow through us.
It's a wonderful promise and it's so important to understand that the living water is not only for us.
It's so the living water shall flow from our spirit into other people's life
Like we are connected with Jesus.
Jesus is the tree of life.
And because we are the fruit, we are the fruit on the branches that give life to people today.
We are the salt.
We are the light today because Jesus is shining through us.
His power, the salt is inside us.
So it's so important to understand, because Jesus is saying that I will come, the Father shall send the Holy Spirit and we shall dwell inside you.
You are a temple of the Holy Spirit
It's a tremendous, tremendous promise.
In Matthew 15: but those things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and they defile a man. Because the heart produce evil
thoughts, murders, adult, fornication, death, full witness and blasphemy.
All these bad things came out of our heart.
But today when you get born again, we get the spirit.
It shall flow from your inner man like living water to bring life to other people.
