BORN AGAIN AGAIN !

That is the phrase that came to me yesterday after a wonderful time in The Word with God and communicating with HIM! Actually, it was Monday that something "ignited" in my spirit while reading my daily devotional from MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST, Oswald Chambers. He was talking about our NEW HERITAGE IN JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE OF REDEMPTION! I have heard this all my life since I got saved at 10 years of age in Charleston, SC - Ashley River Baptist Church and was Baptised there. I can still vividly remember that day and the night I was Baptised. I was only 10, but it was something I have never forgotten. Over the years I attended church all the time and my life growing up consisted of Sunday Mornings, Sunday Evenings, Wednesday Evengings,BTU,GAs,YOUTH CHOIR,SWORD DRILLS,CHURCH CAMPS, ETC. in the 50's & 60"s. I was also so involved with school that I never had time to get into trouble and I thank God for my Dear parents who are with Jesus now - for giving me the upbringing they did. I was a cheerleaderin highschool in Atlanta for 5 years and I feel like I am somewhat of a cheerleader for Jesus now!

I strayed from the Lord somewhat when I went off to college even though it was a Baptist College...Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, NC. That is where I met Don and we got married, moved to Union, had three children in Union and got involved in Buffalo Baptist Church where Don grew up...(a mill village church)! Now there is no more mill, but THE CHURCH STILL STANDS! Alan...our middle son, accepted
Jesus as his Saviour at Buffalo when he was 10 and was very serious about it. Over the years our others followed suit in other churches and we were a fixture in the church in Charlotte we attended. It was wonderful, but for me....something was missing and I didn't know I was even missing it until Monday..July 24th, 2010! We started a business and it grew rapidly and we gave abundantly and we continued to grow in the Lord and in Business and had great success financially, however there came a time when we let the spiritual aspect of our lives slide a bit and thus.......lots of things happened which eventually led us back to Union, SC in God's perfect timing and His Plan though I didn't think so at first. Now things are becoming clearer and clearer to me spiritually why things happened the way they did.

I wont go into that because that is the PAST! HALLELUIA! ALL THINGS ARE NEW!

Now to being Born Again Again....I mentioned in one of my previous blogs that I was studying geneology and family history....(natural family). But suddenly....and I do mean suddenly - ithout any forewarning I was reading about "redemption" and what Jesus did for us on the cross...things I had head knowledge of and believed by faith, but for some reason I felt like I was not where I needed to be in the area of having a hunger for the LOST! I had been asking the Lord about this recently and in years past. But Monday morning something happened to me just by reading the Bible and I had a "RHEMA" WORD ABOUT REDEMPTION AND THE CROSS.......ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS! I saw we have a "new Heritage" in him. The old "fleshly" nature is still there, but our Spirits are white as snow and pure just as if we had never sinned.
Now this is nothing new to Christian Terminology...but for me it became a LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!

A funny thing happened to me last Friday while in the library...I only got to use the computer for l hour. So that is why I didn't "blog". I then went to the geneology computers and began to look things up about my natural family and you know, where in the past I had been able to find lots of information and pull it up....I could not find one....not ONE NATURAL Ancestor in that computer Friday!!! Well...that puzzled me until the "Rhema" I received on Monday. I believe the Lord was preparing me for Monday's revelation to me. It emcompasses so much I feel that I have only begun to understand what HE is showing me about this. I think of the man in the bible who asked Jesus if he must "enter again into his mothers womb" to be born again!? Of course that is not what Jesus was saying.

My past is the past....my sins are ALL washed away and I have a NEW HERITAGE IN JESUS! He has given me the Holy Spirit as my comforter to work through me and Jesus himself is my "Spiritual Brother" and HE IS EVER INTERCEDING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER FOR ME !! JESUS IS MY HERITAGE....THE FATHER, SON, HOLY GHOST !
WOW ! What an amazing thought!

HIS GRACE IS EVERLASTING AND WHERE SIN ABOUNDS , GREAT GRACE ABOUNDS !
HIS UNMERITED FAVOR! AND WE ALL HAVE ACCESS TO THAT THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS REDEMPTION FOR US.
