Let’s pray
Yeshua taught His disciples to pray:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be
thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in
earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, sins, as we forgive
our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen

Today we use the
Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory, from the 1500’s
March 17, 2012
Sad to say… The name of March
comes from ancient Rome, when March was the first month of the year and named Martius after Mars, the Roman god of war.
--------------------------
God has His own
calendar
We are now in the 12th month of
God called Adar àãø,
23rd day.
Esth. 3 [7] In the first
month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that
is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.

Today's Topic:
Do you really
know what born again means?
Do you really
know what being converted is?
This may
seem like a simple study however it is one of the most important studies.
Without being born again, converted, you will not see the kingdom of God.
If people don't see you as a "new, converted" creature, you probably are not a new
creature but the old man or woman that you always were.
--------------------------------
Let's review a few words first:
Converted
G4762 στρέφω - strephō - stref'-o - Strengthened from the base of G5157; to twist, that is, turn quite around or reverse (literally or figuratively): - convert, turn (again, back again (to a child), self, self about). To turn, turn around, to turn one’s self , metaphorically to turn one’s self from one’s course of conduct, i.e. to change one’s mind
G5157 - τροπή - tropē - trop-ay' - From an apparently primary word τρέπω trepō (to turn); a turn (“trope”), that is, revolution - turning.
--------------
David says:
Pss. 51 [10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a
right spirit within me.
[13] Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and
sinners shall be converted unto thee.
ùÑåÌá shûv - to
return, turn back, of spiritual relations (figuratively), to turn back (to
God), repent, to restore, refresh, repair (figuratively), reverse
------------
Yeshua says:
Matt. 18 [3] And
said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be
converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
------------
You should be able to make a conscience list of the things you are doing in your new life.
Here is a short list:
How do you honor the God of Israel?
How do you speak to others?
How do you treat people?
How do you treat your brothers and sisters?
How
do you dress?
How do you act before others?
Where do you like to go?
What do you like to do?
What type of people do you like to be around?
What do you eat, drink or smoke?
Yeshua broke down the Law and the Prophets which contain the 10 Commandments as well as any other commandment in Torah like this:
How do you treat God and how do you treat your neighbors (in the
God of Israel).
Mat 22: 35-40
Then
one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Yeshua said unto him, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
------------
Yeshua
tells a Pharisee, named Nicodemus, a ruler to be born again, born from above!
John 3
[1]
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
[2] The same came to Yeshua
by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from
God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
[3] Yeshua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
[5] Yeshua answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
[7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
[8]
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
[9]
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How
can these things be?
[10] Yeshua answered
and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
[11] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have
seen; and ye receive not our witness.
[12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye
believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Peter says:
1 Pet. 1 [22] Seeing
ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the
brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
[23]
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but
of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth
for ever.
------------------------
Are you a new creature, new man /
woman?
2 Cor. 5 [17] Therefore if any man be in Messiah, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new.
----
Eph. 4 [24] And
that ye put on the new man, which after God is
created in righteousness and true holiness.
----
Col. 3 [10] And
have put on the new man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Here are a few new, converted people
Ruth, Rahab, Hittite and Peter
---------------
Ruth
Ruth 1 [16] And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
[17] Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: Yehovah do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
[18] When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
Ruth 4 [13]
So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife:
and when he went in unto her, Yehovah
gave her conception, and she bare
a son.
[14] And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Yehovah,
which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be
famous in Israel.
[15] And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to
thee than seven sons, hath born him.
[16] And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became
nurse unto it.
[17] And the women her neighbours
gave it a name, saying, There
is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of
David.
[18] Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez
begat Hezron,
[19] And Hezron
begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
[20] And Amminadab
begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
[21] And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
[22] And Obed begat
Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
-------------
David’s army - Mighty men, honorable - Uriah the “Hittite”
--------------
Rahab
Josh. 2 [1] And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
[3] And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
Josh.6[17] And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Yehovah: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
[23] And the young men that were spies went in, and brought Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
[25] And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
-------------
Yeshua tells Simon Peter:
Luke. 22
[31]
And Yehovah said, Simon,
Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that
he may sift you as wheat:
[32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
-------------
Simon Peter is now converted
He says:
Acts 3 [19] Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of Yehovah;
[20] And He (the Father) shall send Yeshua the Messiah, which before was preached unto you:
[21]
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things,
which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world
began.
------------
Paul writes to the Colossians
Col. 3
[1]
If ye then be risen
with Messiah, seek those things which are above, where Messiah sitteth on the right hand of God.
[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
[3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Messiah in God.
[4] When Messiah, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with
him in glory.
[5] Mortify therefore your members which
are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil
concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
[6] For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children
of disobedience:
[7]
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived
in them.
[8]
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath,
malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
[9]
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put
off the old man with his deeds;
[10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image
of him that created him:
[11]
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free:
but Messiah is all, and in all.
[12] Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of
mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
[13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a
quarrel against any: even as Messiah forgave you, so also do ye.
[14]
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
[15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye
thankful.
[16] Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to Yehovah.
[17]
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God and
the Father by him.
[18]
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
[19] Husbands, love your wives, and be
not bitter against them.
[20] Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto
Lord.
[21] Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
[22] Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of
heart, fearing God:
[23] And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
[24]
Knowing that of Yehovah ye
shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord, Messiah.
[25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done:
and there is no respect of persons.

Same message in the letter to the Corinthians
----------------------
We are the temple of God
I will dwell in them, and
walk in them
Some people pollute
God’s temple with drugs, alcohol and other things
1 Cor. 3 [16] Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the
Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
[17] If any man
defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy,
which temple ye are.
2 Cor. 6 [14] Be ye not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light
with darkness?
[15] And
what concord hath Messiah with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
[16] And what agreement hath
the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath
said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people.
[17] Wherefore come out from
among them, and be ye separate, saith Yehovah, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you,
[18] And
will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith Yehovah Almighty.
Rev. 21
[22] And I saw no temple therein: for Yehovah
God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Some
People pollute where God wants to dwell
Ezek. 44
[7] … ye have brought into my
sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and
uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my
house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my
covenant because of all your abominations.
[8] And ye have not kept the
charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my
sanctuary for yourselves.
[9] Thus saith Yehovah Yehovah; No stranger, uncircumcised in
heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that
is among the children of Israel.
----------------------------------
In closing:
Passover / Feast of
Unleavened Bread, Feast of Weeks are coming again,
-------
Are you really born again?
> Are you really converted?
Without being born
again, converted, you will not see the kingdom of God.
It is good to always examine
ourselves and prove all things
2 Cor. 13 [5] Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;
prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua the Messiah is in you,
except ye be reprobates?
1
Thes. 5 [21] Prove all things; hold fast that which is
good.
