Born Again Jesus

The Father said: I have made it easy for you to identify with Jesus, though many have not accepted the fact that Jesus did not have an advantage that kept Him free from sin. This is a mindset that must be destroyed in the Body. The truth is you don’t have a high priest that was not and is not touched by the feelings of your infirmities. He was tempted in all points even as you are. He simply chose not to sin (Heb 4:15). But you are thinking, that was Jesus, it was easy for him to abstain from sin, He never really knew any sin.

I want you to consider these truths:

• I made Adam a perfect man. I gave him the earth for a dwelling place. He and Eve had no foreign spirit or evil concupiscence working in them that could cause them to sin. I created them perfect, sinless and free. So, what was it that made Adam sin against me? Was it not his choice to do so? You say it was easy for Jesus to walk in the earth without sinning because He never knew sin. But the same was true of Adam. He too never knew sin until he decided to disobey me. You want to find a crack or loop hole in my finished work, but that is impossible. The work is finished indeed. The problem is apparent. My Church has denied its own salvation experience.

You have lived a lifestyle of sin, vacillating in and out of righteousness for so many years until you have forgotten that in the beginning you too had no propensity to sin. You loved righteousness and

your heart was filled with a desire to serve Me, but there was no challenge to your ‘lifestyle’. In fact, this lifestyle was encouraged by a word declaring it to be impossible to live in this world free

from sin. In spite of the work of redemption, men continued to create doctrines that undermined the Truth.

• You say Jesus is unique in that He never committed sin because He had no memory of sin. You claim this to be the reason you are unable to walk holy before Me every day of your life. The truth is

the memory of sin is not captivity. The fact that you remember the things I delivered you from is what provokes your praise. The memory of the pleasures of sin is not a power that holds your will

captive. If so, you would not be selective in your choice of the sins you are purposed to commit now. An earnest response from you would be to agree that there is no foreign spirit continuing to live in you bringing you into captivity as beforehand. You simply sin by choice.

If you are reading this without ever really having had the born again experience, you will not be able to comprehend these principles. The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness (1 Cor. 2:14) unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But, if you have My Spirit in you, then you are charged with these things. Again, I say Jesus is your example in every aspect of the salvation experience. The angel visited Mary and declared she would bring forth the Son of God. But then I so loved the world that I gave my first begotten as the last sacrifice. At birth and death, Jesus was the only begotten. On the way to the cross, He took on the sins of the world. He that knew no sin became sin. The very body I prepared became a body of sin, in that He carried the sins of the world in it. Now the law demands death for the soul that sinneth (Ezekiel 18:20). When the sins of all mankind were laid upon Christ, death was His destiny. This was My plan and My method to keep My promise to the forefathers and also deal with the god of this world.

Hebrews 2:14-18

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; t

hat through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be

a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

My Word is spirit and it must be received by your spirit. Jesus is indeed the Son of Man in the flesh. He was born of a woman, sanctified by My Spirit. He came forth without sin or the nature

of sin. When He took on the sins of the world He became even as a sinner. It pleased Me to slay Him by My eternal law. He died the death of a sinner. After the debt for mankind was paid, I came for

Him again and said, “Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee”. Is not this confirmed in the book of the Acts of the Apostles?

Acts 13:33-34

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second

psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give

you the sure mercies of David.

In that Jesus died, He was born again. He testified of this in the Revelation.

Revelation 1:5

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.

Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood...

He is the first to be begotten from the dead. He is the first of many brothers. It is not true that He was not acquainted with sin. He was made likened unto man in all things. He is indeed the pattern

and example of redemption. Come away from the excuses. I have caused you to have escaped the corruption that is in the world. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for you in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin. It is the mind of Christ you inherited at your new birth. It is a mind that has not allowed sin. To walk in His mind is to cease from any struggles in the flesh. It is the mind that has kept the body under submission to My will. You will no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God (1 Peter 4:1-3). If you embrace these truths, you can come boldly unto the throne of grace and obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
