These last few weeks we have looked at what it means to be born again. We discussed how the new birth is the entrance into the Kingdom of God, and how it is a multidimensional experience. But what we must realize is that after we are born again, the engagement of the Kingdom is optional. We must choose to engage. Engagement does not just happen. The access is there — we are Kingdom citizens, and we are adopted into God’s family — but we must choose to engage and to participate in the Kingdom experience. We must believe and accept the provisions of the Kingdom, and we must engage the dynamics of the Kingdom and believe for and expect the results we are promised. Our outcomes follow our choices.

This is similar to the Believers that Paul addressed in Ephesus. He asked them had they received the Holy Spirit since they believed. They replied that they had not, and that they had not even heard about the Holy Spirit. He, the Holy Spirit God, was available, but they did not know they had to invite His fullness into their lives.

Have you received and engaged the Kingdom of our God in your life since you believed? This is an appropriate and good question for all followers of Christ. Let’s look further into what our engagement means for our lives.

“By contrast, we have already come near to God in a totally different realm, the Zion-realm, for we have entered the city of the Living God, which is the New Jerusalem in heaven! We have joined the festival gathering of myriads of angels in their celebration! And as members of the church of the Firstborn all our names have been legally registered as citizens of heaven! And we have come before God who judges all, and who lives among the spirits of the righteous who have been made perfect in His eyes!” Hebrews 12:22-23 TPT

With the new birth we have become a citizen of Heaven’s realm, which we know as the Kingdom of our God. We are not strangers or foreigners, but we are legally registered citizens of His Kingdom, and we have access to all that is in the Government of Heaven.

Access is not automatic engagement; it is automatic availability.  Salvation, healing, forgiveness, and every other provision is there, and they are ready, and they are waiting for us to believe, to accept, and to act on our faith.  Expecting the results of our Words. We must have faith. We must believe. We must engage.

Last week, we discussed the fact that the new birth — being born again — is foundational and necessary as the doorway into God’s Kingdom. This week, we will take a look at the passage in Scripture where Jesus teaches about the new birth, and we will see how this truly is a multidimensional experience.

John 3:1-12 TPT – The Passion Translation:

1 Now there was a prominent religious leader among the Jews named Nicodemus, who was part of the sect called the Pharisees. 2 One night he discreetly came to Jesus and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one performs the miracle signs that you do, unless God’s power is with him.” 3 Jesus answered, “Nicodemus, listen to this eternal truth: Before a person can even perceive God’s kingdom, they must first experience a rebirth.”

In Jesus’ response here, he changes the dimension. He goes from the earth and time to heaven and eternity.

4 Nicodemus said, “Rebirth? How can a gray-haired man be reborn? It’s impossible for anyone to go back into the womb a second time and be reborn!”

Nicodemus directs the conversation back to the dimension of earth and time. Listen to how Jesus answers him.

5 Jesus answered, “I speak an eternal truth: Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s kingdom. 6 For the natural realm only gives birth to things that are natural, but the spiritual realm gives birth to supernatural life!

Here Jesus is establishing the reality of a different real, dimension and the necessity for us to engage Heaven.

7 “You shouldn’t be amazed by my statement, ‘You all must be born from above!’  8 For the Spirit-Wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound, but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So, it is the same with those who are Spirit-born!” 9 Nicodemus replied, “I don’t understand; what do you mean? How does this happen?”

Nicodemus is not grasping eternity and the different dimension or realm Jesus is presenting. Jesus continues to explain and to give an example.

10 Jesus answered, “Nicodemus, aren’t you the respected teacher in Israel, and yet you don’t understand this revelation? 11 I speak eternal truths about things I know, things I’ve seen and experienced—and still you don’t accept what I reveal. 12 If you’re unable to believe what I’ve told you about the natural realm, what will you do when I begin to unveil the heavenly realm?”

Jesus establishes His origin and the source of His understanding about the new birth. He declares, “I have seen, and I have experienced eternity, that is where I came from.”

He further declares that we must understand the impact of the eternal on the temporary, or natural, realm to understand the heavenly realm. 

How do we do that? Through the new birth.

We make heaven’s realm the reality in and for our natural or earthly realm.  What a beautiful process and reality.

We must understand that entrance into the Kingdom is on an individual basis and is accessed and is accomplished by the new birth, or by the born-again relationship experience of our human spirit with the Spirit of the living God. Without this new birth of our spirit, we cannot see the Kingdom of God, its administration, nor its dispensation in our lives.

In this new birth experience, the eternal Spirit of the living God facilitates our entering into and beginning our new life on a higher dimensional realm and our having access to a greater authority and power experience for our human life during our existence on the earth.

The born-again experience restores the fellowship and the communication that was lost by humanity through disobedience. This experience is relational and not religious. What was lost by humanity through their disobedience in the garden was relationship.

All dominion and all authority are relational. Think about that for a moment. The Kingdom of God gives humanity — through relationship — access to the throne of God and to the authority of Heaven. Again, this new birth experience is relational for us and not religious. Without this multi-dimensional connection, humanity does not have access to the heavenly realm, nor its authority. New birth gives access to this higher dimension and to the greater power and to the overcoming authority that is there.

The most important question that everyone will ever have to answer for themselves is this: “Have you entered a living relationship with your Creator? Have you experienced the new birth He offers you?” When you do, you become a legally registered citizen of Heaven’s Kingdom realm. You have access to all the power and the authority of Heaven. Is your life lived in the multi-dimensional power connection of the Kingdom?

If you have not done that, do so now. Invite God into your life to be your Friend and your Lord. There is no greater joy that we can experience on our time journey. Do so now. If you would like to speak to someone personally about being born again, you can reach out to the KSAM prayer team here, or email us at prayer@ksam.net.

In all that we are and in all that we do there is a Kingdom plan. Spiritually, mentally, physically, our health, emotionally, relationally, financially and in all that we do and in all that we are.

How comprehensive is the Kingdom plan? Let’s review.

Romans 8:28 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition:

“28 We are assured, and we know that [[a]our God being a partner in their/our labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] a plan that is good for and good to those who love God and who are called according to [His] design and for His purpose.”

His purpose for us is the answer to the question “what is my purpose here?” Nothing else will satisfy our longing for fellowship and for communion with our transcendent power source. Our Creator and our Designer, our Friend and our God has good plans for us that are full of hope.

Even when we walk through challenges and difficult circumstances, we can believe our Father is weaving everything together for our good. Our family has faced some of the most challenging times we have ever been through recently. We are overwhelmed, but not overcome. Through it all we confess and believe that our God is good, He is sovereign, and He works all things together for our good. We do not understand His plans, but His plans are perfect.

How comprehensive is the impact of the Kingdom of our God to be in our lives?

Many believe the Kingdom of God is just for religious or spiritual things.  Is that correct? Scripture teaches that the Kingdom of God is applicable to everything that we encounter, in everything that we do, and in everything about us. There are no excluded areas of our lives that are left out. Who we marry, our vocation, and our callings?  How we worship and how we know our Creator and our God, how we relate to each other, and how we relate to everything in between. The nature of the Kingdom of God is social or community-based and provides common unity for society. As such, the Kingdom is to impact both the individual and society.

The prayer Jesus taught His disciples and modeled for us to pray begins with His Kingdom charge. What did He mean when He said for us to pray for, “Your Kingdom to come, and for His/Your will to be done on the earth as it is in Heaven?” Was He saying, “as it is in Heaven, so be it on the earth?”

Let’s look at a couple of translations of that portion of our governing agreement.

Matthew 6:9,10,13 AMPC:

9 “Pray, therefore, like this: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name.10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 13 And lead (bring) us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

The Passion Translation of the tenth verse says this:

Matthew 6:10 TPT – “Manifest your kingdom realm and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is in heaven.”

Wow!!!  Your every purpose fulfilled on the earth? What does the statement, “Your every purpose” mean? This clearly points to the reality that the Kingdom of our God is not a limited realm or a restricted reign. The Kingdom is not just a partial reign nor is the Kingdom limited to an “only applicable here” reality or functionality.

The Kingdom is not just for religious things nor is the Kingdom just for things regarding church. For everything that we encounter in our lives on the earth, there is a Kingdom application.

Everything that we do as a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a doctor, a lawyer, and an Indian chief. Everything we do has a Kingdom application and a Kingdom functionality. Wherever we are, we are to represent and to birth the Kingdom into those situations. We are to present the face, the plan and the Kingdom will of our God everywhere.
