BORN AGAIN AGAIN

By Rick Mathes

Romans 7:21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wishes to do good.

I am happy that God chose me to be saved because the old me would never have chosen Him. I tried new starts with the old me time and time again with no improvement or change. I finally reached the bottom and left crime for Christ. Like a caterpillar the new me blossomed into a fulltime butterfly that has been ministering ever since. I was born again and received a new:

PAST:             Your past was the preparation for your future. You are the sum-total of all that has happened to prepare you to be the person God wanted you to be for His glory and honor.

FUTURE:        Finally you have a hop worth living for when you accept and understand the fullness of His unconditional love for you.

IDENTITY:      You will attend your funeral, death to the flesh as you rise to a new life in Him. This is the real you, no false pretense.

GOD:              Humanism is the religion where you are a god and all your values are relative to your beliefs. There is no God but you. This changes when yhou are born again and Jesus is your Lord.

JOB:                You become a minister and your secular occupation becomes the means of financing your ministry.

COURSE:       When you come to Jesus and face Him, your back is to the devil and your life is then turned around and you never go turning back now. Welcome to Christianity!

FAMILY:          Those of like faith become your new family. The blood of your natural family is not as important as the Holy Spirit running through your soul from you new Father.

INHERIT:        Your bank account is in glory flowing over with all that you have done on earth not taking credit for yourself. Do good and let others have the credit.

ASSURE:        You know His promises are true and when He said He was preparing a mansion for you and would return to take you to Him, He meant it.

When you look on His cross that battle within you is won, it is His!
