For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter 1:23.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
There are very few people who even begin to realize the closeness you have with Jesus and, in Him, the closeness you have with Me. It was His prayer the night He was betrayed that you would understand this and be One with and in Us.
The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. John 17:22-23.
It was about love shared and love incarnate.
“O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:25-26.
And it was the prayer that My Spirit put in My apostle Paul as well, that you would know the height, depth, breadth, and length of the love that flows between you and Me in Christ. That you would know the unfathomable riches and power that I share with you and work in you by My Spirit in Christ.
As His body, the Church, you become partakers of the divine nature and I am love, love that surpasses all human understanding, it can only be grasped in the spirit realm.
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19.
Jesus came to draw you into Me, your true home, source, and place to be. And you come there through the birth canal of My Word.
There is only one way you can live a sanctified life, and that is by being born again from above by the imperishable seed of My Word. You must receive the Word and plant it in your heart and it will recreate you, that is what I mean when I tell you that you are a new creation in Christ, your Messiah.
Jesus is the Word made flesh dwelling among you, the seed by which you are brought to new birth when you receive Him. It is My Word received in faith that empowers you to become My children. In the beginning I made you from My Word and breathed into you My breath of life but you severed yourself from that oneness by recreating yourself with a lie.
And it was the same Word of truth by which Jesus took flesh but in a different way than you are recreated. He was the second and last Adam formed from above as pure Word, as God and man with an eternal life to give in the flesh to redeem you for Me. But the seed that is sown in you is the seed of My Word operating in you to engender that eternal life in you that you lost in Adam when he corrupted the seed.
The first parable My Son told while sojourning with you on the earth is about this and He told the disciples that if they did not understand this parable they would not understand any of the future parables He would tell. You know then it is important to understand what He was revealing in that parable.
In the parable a sower goes out to sow seed. The seed falls on four different kinds of ground, but only one bears fruit. And even the fruitful soil yields it at different levels, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.
My Son explains this parable in private to His disciples and you benefit from that explanation.
The sower sows the Word, the seed thus is My Word. It is clear from the parable that My seed produces abundant harvest but only one of the types of soil it is sown upon produces. Who is the sower? My Son, I sent My Word to heal you and deliver you from all your destructions. He came to undo the works of the devil and the only way you undo a lie is with the truth. And He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the faithful witness.
My Son explained that the soil represents people’s hearts. Even though the sower sowed the same Word, there were some hearts that received it and some hearts that rejected it. And of those that received it, most of them either rejected it later when trials came that seemed contrary to the Word or they allowed worry and various lusts to choke it off and make it unfruitful in their lives.
“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God. Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved. Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.” Luke 8:11-15.
There are many lessons to learn in this parable. First, whether the Word benefits you or not is up to you. You must receive the implanted Word and cultivate it without giving up each time there is some kind of persecution, trial, or attack from the devil. My Word is more powerful than the devil or any of his unclean spirits that followed him from the angelic host. They must obey My Word and that is why the devil tries to steal the seed of the Word sown in your heart by Jesus. If you belong to Me and you speak it, he must obey it.
Bless the LORD, you His angels, mighty in strength, who perform His word, obeying the voice of His word! Psalm 103:20.
You must answer every attack or test with My Word that cancels it out and then no weapon formed against you can prosper and every tongue raised against you, you will prove false.
But there is more here that I want to delve into with you. For those who receive the Word Jesus sows in them and submit to that Word by agreeing with it and speaking it, these He empowers to be My children.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:12-14.
What did Jesus pray about those who received and believed that He was from Me and received what He spoke from Me?
Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You; for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me. I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours; and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. John 17:7-11.
When you receive the Word that Jesus, the Sower, sows into your heart, that is My seed, for I am My Word, so My seed is in you, and just as you are born of your earthly father’s seed in his image and likeness, so you are born again of My seed in My image and likeness. You truly become My child by the seed planted in your spirit. You are a new creation in Christ, the old things have passed away and all is new. You are then born from above and not from below. You are in the world but not of the world. You are of Me and that is of Heaven above. You are born again as citizens, not of the world, but of My Kingdom. A child is born with the citizenship of the parent.
But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. John 17:13-19.
Look at what Jesus, the sower of the imperishable seed of My Word, told you in this passage He addressed to Me but shared with you.
First, your joy comes from My Word. My Word is life to those who find it and health to all their flesh. My Word heals and delivers you. I am My Word and in My presence is fullness of joy, joy unspeakable filled with glory.
Come to Me through Jesus, which is through the birth canal of My Word once sown as seed in your heart, and you will have peace and joy beyond all understanding as My own special treasure. You will find that you have authority, if you keep and speak My Word, over all evil. Jesus has made you a kingdom, priests unto Me. A royal priesthood and a people set apart that I rescued out of darkness into My own marvelous light. Born again from above you are children of the Word. And My Word is light, the light that enlightens every man. . You are children of light.
There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:9-13.
You are of Me. And you are of Jesus. He sowed the seed into you for He is My Word. Do you understand this now:
But the LORD was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to grief; if He renders Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His seed, He will prolong His days, and the Will of the LORD will prosper in His hand. Isaiah 53:10.
He will see His seed, those born again of the Word.
For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, “I will proclaim Your name to My brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.” And again, “I will put My trust in Him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.” Hebrews 2:11-13.
What am I trying to say to you? You are Mine. You are birthed by Me, loved by Me, held by Me, and cared for by Me. Do not reject My implanted Word, it has the power to save your soul for in it is eternal life. Do not reject so great a Salvation.
He who rejects Me and does not receive My Words, has one who judges him; the Word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” John 12:48-50.
I love you. You have nothing to fear, you who are born again from above, all authority is yours in Heaven and on earth, for I have put My Word in your mouth, and you have taken it into your heart. And it has created you a new creation in Christ.
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. Hebrews 2:14-15.
