​
People ask what does it feel like to be born again and more spiritually mature?
​
Well it becomes over time like the biggest, longest, best and deepest adventure in love and truth you will ever feel, HE will cause you to walk in his ways, and you will begin to share this love with others as they start to see your light.
​
I have seen many changes in many people, their prayers answered and lives changed from emptiness and sadness to joy and love and the strength and love of our Lord holding it all together and these persons, or families are noticeably ‘different’ in blessings verses the ones not yet received in Jesus.
​
You will probably wonder and ask now, how do you go forward, what do I do now?
HAVE YOUR ADULT WATER BAPTISM IN PLACE
​
WATER BAPTISM STEPS WATCH THEM HERE
​
“Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5)
​
Water baptism is also an important act to do for God, many feel it is moreso a symbolic act - however I can tell you anyone that completes their water baptism most definitely feels a refreshing release, a change and shift from within, and feels renewed. If you haven’t done this yet since your faith baptism prayer then its my firm believe at FaithGodsWay this a way for you to honor the bibles instructions and Gods word. Plan to do this as soon as you can in honor of God, any way you can via a river, stream, ocean or at your local church as they will have water baptism services. You may say well I was water baptised as a baby however your mind at that time was not developed enough to be opting into baptism with your own choice of submission, this is why faith and water baptism is so important to do as an older person who can make his/her own choice. It is more personal with God this way.
​
Jesus makes this comment specifically to Nicodemus, in response to his question about being "born again." There are several possible ways to interpret His comment that only those born of water, and of the Spirit, can enter the kingdom of God. Being born of the Spirit is clearly a reference to accepting Christ, but the aspect of water is less sure. The most reasonable interpretation is that water refers to baptism, but in the context of repentance—this is why John the Baptist's ministry of baptism was a precursor to Christ.
​
It is thought in theology also that Jesus took Johns full dunking water baptism to validate the water baptisms John was doing for people before Jesus’ arrival.
​
We do know however, that faith in Christ is an absolute requirement for salvation and those doing the faith prayer do have changes in their lives thereafter. The physical ritual of baptism is not.
John 3:16, KJV: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
​
John 3:36, KJV: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
​
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Titus 3:5, KJV: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

LEARN THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
Learn the greatest commandments when his disciple asked which is the most important of all.
And Jesus answered him: Matthew 22:37 “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
LEARN YOU HAVE A SPIRITUAL FATHER
Learn that you have a spiritual father and when born again, the spirit comes to abode within you because when you are born again, this is also reconciling God through Christ within yourself.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
John 14:23 the Lord Jesus says, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him.”
John 14:16, KJV: “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;”
John 14:17, KJV: “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”
Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
HE ALSO TAKES CARE OF THE ORPHANED AND WIDOWED
John 14:18 John 14:18, ESV: “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
HE advises he will never leave anyone fatherless, if you are alone, widowed or orphaned then know the Bibles has a total of 43 passages/verses about Fatherless.
Psalm 68:5, KJV: “A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.”
Psalm 68:5, CSB: “God in his holy dwelling is a father of the fatherless and a champion of widows.”
​
UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTION FROM GOD, READING THE WORD, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
​
Before you start to read or listen to the bible, you want to pray for clarity and understanding of the words. Pray as follows.
“Dear father in heaven, I wish to pray in Jesus name to help me read the bible, to have clarity and understanding of your word ongoing, it is with thanks this prayer and gratitude ‘in Jesus’ name, Amen.’
To keep Jesus’ word (extremely important is to stay IN THE WORD). You must learn Gods Word and is best to start reading ‘The New Testament’ first. Do not start with the old testament because the New Testament fulfilled the old testaments laws, read the new testament first! Then read the old testament.
​
zekiel 36:27 NKJV "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them."
​
Romans 10:17 KJV: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
​
So the born again, new creature in you faith prayer, and reading The Word constant daily and staying in HIS word - now 'causes' you to transform your new 2nd birth, your spiritual born again birth.
​
One of the oldest most used Bible types, for the new testament is the King James Version book.
The New Testament KJV audio bible is available free on YouTube for listening and you can start right now.
This is a free Old and New Testament KJV pdf you can download to your computer from here. If you download or load this document, you can search it for keywords using the CTRL+F function - very handy for finding situations you are searching for.
Once you finish the new testament first which is approx. 453 pages, then one should go back to the beginning of God in the old testament, as it will be easier to understand and spot the Lord in the old testament writings and understand what is going on in changes to the laws.
ASK FOR HELP TO LEARN HIS WORD, PRAYER METHOD
Increase your prayer power and closeness with God by learning to pray in Jesus name which allows God the fathers Glory to shine through in Jesus’ works each time a prayer is answered.
For example – “Dear father in heaven, I wish to pray in Jesus name for (deliverance, supplication or petition prayer…XXXXXXX). End your prayer always giving thanks and gratitude and ‘in Jesus’ name, Amen.’
Private prayers are optimal. Pray in secret, alone with your door shut – the father hears you when you pray in secret and He is the only audience that matters. It is not wrong to pray publicly however it is important that performing prayers is not optimal, and if you cannot pray publicly without "performing" for other listeners, it is better for your own good to pray silently or in a private setting, instead.
Matthew 6:6 “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
You should always remember to pray for others in any request as well for yourself, this is in all situations because we love they neighbor as thyself as well.
John Chapter 3 verse 1 says: “The sons of God will become like Christ—Love for others is required to gain eternal life—Obedience ensures us an answer to our prayers. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.”
Jude Chapter 1 verse 25: 25 “To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
