Getting renewed in the spirit is being born again. It’s not a religious group but it’s living in the dimension of faith. Something beyond a word can describe. It’s an interior experience with the Lord. It’s an experience that comes from the resurrection of Jesus. We simply call it a “Paschal Experience”. It’s His profound interaction with the Father. No words can fathom it.
It’s not a fruit of a personal effort. It’s not a theological explanation. It’s the love experience of the cross that gives new life and new light in all the situations of life. It’s not the absence of pain and suffering but it’s the presence of a stronger love that no worries or troubles can distract.
Paschal experience is the presence of Jesus amidst His disciples. “He is & His being there” : Gave joy to His disciples that on that instance were “lockdown” in the Cenacle. “Being born from above” is becoming filled with the full knowledge of God’s love. His death and His resurrection are the fundamental reasons of ones joy and hope.
It’s not the absence of any problem but it’s the interior conviction that comes from the hope of the Risen Christ. That all things may come and go, but Jesus is with us, whatever will happen He is the hope and He is there to save us. Nothing can break His love. His mercy is stronger than any other forces. He walks with us and He will do everything to save us. The same consciousness He had with His Father. He lives always in our hearts, He dwells in us.
Being born from above, is living continually such relationship with the Heavenly Father. Who provides everything to His children. Who will never allow any dangers to His love ones to whom He offered His Only Begotten Son. Gods mercy is not fruit of man’s goodness and betterment, it’s a manifestation of His true Fatherly Nature. Being born from above is an act of faith, whatever will happen He is Father to me. Everything He will do is for His children, so it means despite of the all the hardships and difficulties, the Father who sent Jesus to save the whole world, is the same Father who created the world, and He will be the same Father who will make a way where it seems to be no way.
Right now ask the Holy Spirit to make this rebirth, BE BORN FROM ABOVE!
It’s the assurance of a dynamic faith. One can be a good preacher but can’t have this glowing experience in the spirit. One can be a Bible scholar but full of pride and arrogance. Or one can be gifted in healing illnesses but he continually feels unsatisfied. Ask the Lord to have this Born From Above Experience, it’s more than any other thing in this world.
Prayer:
Almighty Father, I worship you and I glorify your name;
I magnify you for the gift of faith that you have granted me through Jesus;
I humbly ask in His name so to honor you always to Be Born From Above,
Through Him, with Him, in Him,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours,
almighty Father,
for ever and ever.

There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
He came to Jesus at night and said to him,
“Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God,
for no one can do these signs that you are doing
unless God is with him.”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless one is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus said to him,
“How can a man once grown old be born again?
Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?”
Jesus answered,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless one is born of water and Spirit
he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
What is born of flesh is flesh
and what is born of spirit is spirit.
Do not be amazed that I told you,
‘You must be born from above.’
The wind blows where it wills,
and you can hear the sound it makes,
but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes;
so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
