Yes, the first one we are discussing here is that of the Spiritual rebirth. The greatest one of them all that can happen to mankind.
You see, God, who is perfect, will only reveal His Essence (their Persons) to those of His creation who diligently1 seek Him, are willing to submit to Him and then do what He asks of them; in love and thankfulness. Moreover, God the Father has chosen to do this miracle
of conversion through the Power and Name of His Son Jesus Christ; who made
the Covenant of His blood with the Father on behalf of mankind, resulting
in death of His earthly body and resultant Spiritual resurrection.
Then, our gentle loving God, who knows the penitent heart, will perform the miracle of the new (Spiritual) birth and a place is reserved in heaven for the converted2 sojourner3. Then, God's creation, whom They made in His image,
for His good pleasure, will be joyfully obedient to please His Master,
and the newly arrived indwelling Holy Spirit shall be able to work in Satan's
world.
Furthermore, after the mustard seed of faith is fed, watered and looked after by each servant, shall other miracles occur; and they shall be performed by God the Holy Spirit through each pilgrim4 for God the Father's glory and furtherance of His Kingdom; which shall surely come sometime soon. And in the fullness of time, after that each pilgrim has run the race that God has set before him (or her), will he receive a crown, and his reserved place of honour. 1 Diligent: Steady and earnest application,
industrious.
James 4:5-10. 1 Peter 1:1-25. With that behind us, I want you to know that the Lord God the Holy Spirit used recorded words by other people to guide me along the path of this discourse on at least two occasions. The subject we are discussing is miracles, not so? Miracle: an event or act which breaks a law of nature - done by supernatural power, very wonderful or remarkable. So, here are at least two.
The first of the other two happened a week or so back
while reading a commentary of a world renowned servant of God. The words
that the Holy Spirit revealed or brought to my attention was the meaning
of the name: Jesus:- Jehovah the Saviour.
Today, now, in time just past, we finished watching and
listening to a Christian DVD concerning the death of Jesus of Nazareth
and the resurrection of Jesus Christ; Jehovah the Saviour, and something
that was fleetingly said made it so clear that the purpose of Jesus Christ
is to save sinners from everlasting punishment.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the time
for the Holy Spirit to come.
Once God's time is right, and prior to Jesus coming the second time, the Holy Spirit departs from this world. Further, the words from the commentary were written in
about 1940, for me to give to you now.
Truly, we worship the Loving Living God who wants all of us converted - that we may know Him - for our eternal benefit - for His rightful glory. Praise You and thank You Lord God almighty! |
