John 3:1-13  Amplified Bible (AMP)

The New Birth

3 Now there was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (member of the Sanhedrin) among the Jews,
who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi (Teacher), we know [without any doubt] that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs [these wonders, these attesting miracles] that You do unless God is with him.”

3 Jesus answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] seeand experience the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?”
 Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh [the physical is merely physical], and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not be surprised that I have told you, ‘You must be born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].’
 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be possible?”
10 
Jesus replied, “You are the [great and well-known] teacher of Israel, and yet you do not know nor understand these things [from Scripture]?

11 
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we [absolutely] know and testify about what we have [actually] seen [as eyewitnesses]; and [still] you [reject our evidence and] do not accept our testimony.

12 
If I told you earthly things [that is, things that happen right here on earth] and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust Me if I tell you heavenly things?

13 
No one has gone up into heaven, but there is One who came down from heaven, the Son of Man [Himself—whose home is in heaven]

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today 16th November 2015 Power of Christ Daily Power of Christ. Use the power. We use the power to live life in peace, righteousness, peace and joy and live well and wait for our Lord Jesus
Christ to come and take us home.

00:19 Today the title of power of Christ daily is Ignorant Great Teacher of Israel. Ignorant Great teacher of Israel. Brothers and sisters, this is a topic that even the great teacher of Israel was completely ignorant and confused.

00:36 Completely ignorant, confused so much. So in John 3 I first will read John 3:9. Nicodemus, who is a great teacher of Israel, said to Jesus, how can these things be possible? Because earlier Jesus had said, I assure you and most solemnly say to you
in verse 3, Jesus Christ answered him, I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again, reborn from above, sometimes they use reborn from above, born again.

01:14 He cannot ever see and experience the kingdom of God. He cannot ever see and experience the kingdom of God. And then Nicodemus said to Jesus, how can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born.

01:30 Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time when he is old? Jesus answered him again, I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot ever enter the kingdom of God. Now I jump to nine again. Verse
nine says, then how can these things be possible? Jesus then replied, you are the great and well known teacher of Israel, and yet you do not know nor understand these things from Scripture.

02:00 Jesus answered him, no, you are the great and well known teacher of Israel, and yet you do not know nor understand these things from Scripture. Brothers and sisters, if the great and well known teacher of Israel, teacher of scripture, was ignorant
like that, didn’t know, couldn’t understand, what more else? Obviously I asked if I if I used a great teacher of Israel at that time to compare me. I was completely a dumbo.

02:29 He was a great teacher, a well known teacher of Israel, and he was ignorant. What about me? Complete dumbo. Dumb.

02:35 That is why the mercy of Jesus Christ deals with us. The Spirit of God deals with us and draws us to him. Now I’ll go back to the whole scripture to understand this.

02:47 It’s John 3:1 13. John 3:1 13. Now there was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler, member of the Sanhedrin among the Jews.

02:59 Sanhedrin is like a court, like a parliament, like that which is all the great men of Israel will Be there Jews, not the Romans, who came to Jesus at night and said to him, rabbi, teacher, we know without any doubt that you have come from God as a
teacher. He believes that no that Jesus has come from God as a teacher. But he doesn’t believe that Jesus came from God as a sacrificial lamb, as a savior.

03:25 He came as a teacher. That’s why rabbi is a rabbi. So Nicodemus doesn’t realize that Jesus Christ is actually the son of the living God came to save the world.

03:34 For no one can do these signs, these wonders, these accepting miracles that you do unless God is with him. Jesus answered him, I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again, reborn from meaning, reborn from above,
spiritually transformed, renewed and sanctified, he cannot ever see and experience the kingdom of God. Reborn from above.

04:00 Some Bibles say reborn from above, spiritually transformed, renewed and sanctified. Sanctified means separated for salvation by Christ. Sanctified means you are saint.

04:10 That is why we are called saints, because we have been sanctified. Sanctified means separated for salvation. He cannot ever see and experience the kingdom of God.

04:18 Nicodemus said to him, how can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born again, can he? Jesus answered, I assure you and most solemnly said to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, you
cannot ever enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. The physical is merely a physical, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

04:43 So I repeat that now, that which is born, Jesus Christ is saying, that which is born of the flesh is flesh. The physical is merely rigorous. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

04:55 So we have to be born of the Spirit. We already were born of the flesh. Do not be surprised that I’ve told you.

05:01 You must be born again, reborn from above, spiritually transformed, renewed and sanctified. 8. The wind blows where it wishes.

05:11 Jesus still speaking. The wind blows where it wishes. You hear a sound, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going.

05:20 So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. This is very important. The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going.

05:20 So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. This Spirit is capitalized as born of the Holy Spirit. 9 Nicodemus said to him, how can these things be possible? Jesus replied, you are the Great and well known teacher of Israel.

05:45 And yet you do not know or understand these things from scripture. 11 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, we speak only of what we absolutely know and testify about what we have actually seen as eyewitnesses. And still you reject our evidence
and do not accept our testimony.

06:04 If I told you earthly things, there is things that happen right here on earth and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust me if I tell you heavenly things? Jesus asked this question, if I tell you earthly things, there are things that
have happened right here on earth and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust me? Trust Jesus Christ. If I tell you heavenly things, that is. No one has gone up into heaven, but there’s only one who came down from heaven, the Son of man
himself, whose home is in heaven, where Jesus.

06:40 So this great teacher of Israel, well known, was ignorant. I was completely dumb. This issue of born again, whatever God gives like that Satan will take it and twist it and change it this way and that way.

06:55 That’s why you see reborn. Somebody wants to put a new makeup to market. New makeup in the face.

07:02 Be reborn. They will say born, reborn. They use the word reborn.

07:06 Why? The one they’re trying to say, they make up your reborn, your face reborn. Then they got comedies, they got comic books, they got cartoons, they got reborn. You know, they got, I don’t know, cartoon type, didn’t see.

07:18 They have these characters, future characters in the movies and series, reborn. They’ll use these. Hollywood controlled by theater, will come and use what God said and twist it and turn it this way and that way to confuse everybody.

07:34 If it dead, even confused, neglect to use word. Reborn. Reborn, born again, this and that.

07:41 And finally it becomes a nothing word. But this is a very important word. Born again.

07:46 So much so born again has been used by all peoples without understanding. I have been used that I have done rubbish. So now, so whatever.

07:55 Anybody doing rubbish here and listening to this. You have hope, brothers and sisters. You have real hope in Christ.

08:01 He will change you. How will he change you? By looking at the word. That’s related to your condition, your soul condition.

08:09 Get to the Word. The Word. You keep looking at it.

08:11 Suppose you have no patience. You keep looking at the patience. You have no love looking at the verses of love.

08:18 And keep thinking and meditating on the verses of love from scripture. What Jesus said, what the other apostles have said and all, you keep looking at that. And finally the word of God will change you from inside.

08:29 That is why if you go and read My testimony. It’s my story. In the graceoflife.com you will see that when you put yourself against the story.

08:37 Most people will know that I was such a terrible person. No hope, no hope of redemption. Yet Jesus Christ, the son of the living God, called me and drew me.

08:49 The Holy Spirit drew me with various circumstances. Whatever I do, rubbish, things are happening wrong. He uses that to draw us and it changes us.

08:58 And then I become born again. I’m born again. This time from above, reborn from above, spiritually transformed, renewed and sanctified.

09:08 How does this happen when he draws us like that, in all kinds of misery? The misery he didn’t cause. He kept us from dying. He brought us there.

09:19 And then finally you know, in your spirit. Because the Holy Spirit talks to you. You don’t realize it.

09:23 The Holy Spirit talking to me. And you didn’t realize. You think I’m thinking.

09:27 And then I say, I need this God to save me. I need Jesus Christ. He’s the husband of my soul.

09:32 I didn’t know all this. Husband of soul. All I know is I needed Him.

09:36 Only he can settle me. I’m so messed up. I was dying in the physical, died in the spiritual diet.

09:44 Spiritually I was dead. I was talking four letter words, violent, blasphemer of Jesus Christ, adulterer, fornicator, angry, oh so suicidal, all kind of things. And yet he drew me.

10:01 He drew me and finally I had to turn to Him. He makes us turn to him in such a manner. And that is when the veil over our eyes, our heart, our eyes of understanding drops.

10:13 God says there is a veil. Now remember the teacher of Israel was using Old Testament. That’s why he was ignorant.

10:21 So any of us compound focusing on the Old Testament. You need the Old Testament to see what God said and this and that. But you first need the New Testament to become born again.

10:32 The Old Testament doesn’t have born again or reborn from above. It’s only in the New Testament people can be born again. That is because Jesus Christ died and rose again.

10:41 So the born again is an important word. It has become diluted and become like nothing. In fact, many times I dare not use the word born again because people misunderstand.

10:52 So I will say other things for people who do not understand. But finally I have to teach this, as Lord has led me today to teach this about reborn from above. Born again, born again in the spirit.

11:04 We were born in our flesh. What is born from the flesh is flesh, merely physical. Now born of the spirit is spirit.

11:12 Now we are born again. How the Spirit of God comes in and takes home inside us. Jesus Christ is represented by the Spirit of God.

11:19 Jesus Christ is in me. So the spirit of God, when we turn to Jesus Christ, there’s a veil over our eyes of understanding. God has said, you know, and we turn to Jesus Christ.

11:33 But we cannot turn to Jesus Christ by ourselves because our physical nature, our spirit, our flesh, sorry, our flesh, his fallen nature will not want to turn, will not want to say, I’m a sinner. But finally God somehow rather miraculously turns us
to them, to him and say, I’m a sinner. I need you.

11:50 I need you. And you must say, I want you to be my savior. I surrender all from today.

11:56 I know I’m useless, I’m messed up. I need you. And you are the son of the living God.

12:01 I believe that in my heart and speak that from my mouth. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth and you become born again. Born again in the spirit.

12:11 But remember this, because there are people who just spoke in the mouth but didn’t believe in their heart and they continue sinning. Because if you’re born again, sin becomes very sensitive. You know, it is sin, you know, you become very sensitive.

12:25 I don’t want this. You know you’re going to get damaged yourself. You know this sin.

12:29 It’s very distressing when you, when you did sin, when you did fall, do fall into sin. It would be very distressing. So if you’re not being distressed when you tell a lie and all that, then the question is whether you are born again, whether you’re
born of the spirit.

12:44 This is critical. If you don’t feel sensitive to sin that you’re doing, then you better get to Christ. There’s still hope.

12:52 There is still hope, brother, because, sister, you are still alive. There is hope. If you don’t feel sensitive about lying.

12:58 Lying means, oh, I cannot lie. But Jesus Christ is truth. He is the way, the truth and life.

13:03 He is truth and all. His name is not the truth. He is the truth.

13:07 So I cannot lie. So if you do lie, you’ll be bothered because of the Spirit of God, because you are born of the Spirit. Now the Holy Spirit decided that will bother you because he wants you completely without blemish.

13:19 He wants your soul without blemish. So that we are the bride of Christ in a group, as a church, as a congregation, body of Christ. He is the husband of my soul.

13:30 He doesn’t want my soul to be any form, in any way blemished. So that’s why when you Lie or you tell something or you’re angry or whatever, you did something to people, your unforgiveness to those people, it’ll bother you. It will bother you.

13:44 And somebody got something against you, it will bother you. Now if these things don’t bother you, then you must realize from the word from Scripture, I am not condemning you. I am telling you from Scripture.

13:55 And I am telling you still there is great hope. All you have to do is begin to believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God, that only he can save you. Only his blood, pure, precious blood that is spilled can wash your sins
away.

14:09 Only he can turn you around. And the Spirit of God will take residence inside you and you will be born again. Born again in the Spirit.

14:17 You are born of the Spirit and in the Spirit you will walk. That’s why he says in John 3:11, Jesus says, the wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going. So it is with everyone
who is born of the Spirit.

14:36 What happens when you are born of the Spirit? People get shocked because why we want to walk by the Spirit. So when they expect us to do something that the whole world does, we don’t do that. We end up doing something else.

14:47 And then they get shocked. You know, hey, where is the next? What will Krishna do next? They won’t know. They will only know that I will say I will humble myself and leave the place.

14:58 If there’s sin going on, I’ll leave the place or whatever, I’ll humble myself. And then when I’m supposed to talk about Jesus and all the words will come from the Spirit of God will come because. But the words can only come if I’ve been meditating
on the words of God because Jesus said the Holy Spirit will bring to memory.

15:15 I’ll give you a Holy Spirit, a helper. But it’s one part of the God, you know, it’s the Spirit of God. So be pleased, be pleased.

15:25 You please have all reverence for the Holy Spirit. Don’t treat him like nothing. Because even a lot of wayward pastors and all that, they’ll just treat the Spirit, they’ll call the Spirit, they’ll do this for me, do that for me.

15:37 Hey, he’s God. He’s part of God and he’s God. Have all reverence.

15:45 Because you go and grieve the Holy Spirit. You grieve the Holy Spirit, you’re harming yourself. And then those who sin against the Holy Spirit, there’s no forgiveness.

15:55 God says in this age or next age, no. So respect oh reference to the Holy Spirit. He, he is teaching you.

16:02 He is guiding you. He will make you speak. That’s why Jesus said, whatever I have spoken unto you, the Holy Spirit will bring the memory to you at the time when you need to speak.

16:12 That’s why brothers and sisters go and focus on this, study this thing, study the scripture and begin to think about things in your life. Whether you actually born of the Spirit. Now you can be born of the Spirit right now.

16:24 You don’t need anybody. You tell the prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus, I believe in my heart that you are the son of the living God.

16:31 You died and rose again. You sacrificed your life for me. I receive your blood.

16:35 I wash away my sins. Lord, I am a sinner. I don’t want to sin anymore.

16:39 I want to surrender my everything to you. I want to obey and love you. Make me love you, Holy Spirit.

16:43 Make me love Jesus Christ. And then you confess this and begin to tell others that you are a follower of Jesus Christ and you are born in the Spirit and you begin to walk in the Spirit. In Jesus name I pray.

16:55 Amen.
