Jesus replied, “I assure you, NO ONE can enter the Kingdom of God WITHOUT BEING BORN of WATER and the SPIRIT.
Humans can reproduce only HUMAN LIFE,
but the Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE.
You enter the spiritual realm, that is when you got born again
There is no such things that one become christian without receiving the Word
Personally accept Him into your heart
That is called born again
JESUS was talking with Nicodemus who was a leader of the Jewish people and would have known Torah/Tenach, the Old Testament.
Everything Messiah Jesus/Yeshua referred to was in Torah, the Hebrew Scriptures, which is what we call the Old Testament.
The idea is always in man, the desire to be born again. it is already inherit in human being, just that we don't know how to be born again.

In Hebrew, the word for ‘WOMB’ gives us a fresh and beautifully significant picture.
The word for WOMB, is RECHEM, and it comes from the word Racham. Racham speaks of mercy, tender love and compassion.
RACHAM also means WOMB as well as MERCY and is used in the Word of God to speak of His MERCY and LOVE as in EL RACHUM.
H7356
Original: רחם
Transliteration: RACHAM
Phonetic: rakh'-am
Strong's Definition: From H7355; compassion (in the plural);
the womb (as cherishing the foetus); by implication a maiden:- bowels, compassion, damsel, tender love, (great, tender) mercy, pity, womb.
The LOVE / ahav and MERCY / racham of God / Adonai, is like a WOMB / rechem
When a NEW LIFE is being formed, the only real protection is in the WOMB.
Hei means to see or to watch over
When a NEW LIFE is being formed, the only real protection is in the WOMB.
Each one of us have been here for around 9 months.
The letter TET, as the number nine numerically, represents general GOODNESS.
The Hebrew word 'tov' (good) begins with the letter TET.
The first time TET appears in the Torah is in Genesis 1:4, in the word tov.
The numerical value of the letter TET signifies truth and eternity.
By saving us, it started with His love and compassion
It was the will of the parents for the baby to be born
In the womb the baby is protected for 9 months
In the spiritual we are all born again like that
We were all under the compassion and love of God
His mercy compassion was extended to us
Everything is defined by God's word
The womb Rechem is a place of nurturing, tenderness and development of the physical body, in preparation to exist and live within the Earth’s environment.
Every individual needs that or we would never have been born the first time.
He gives us the grace to believe Him
You were born again of the will of God
PSALM 110:3 KJV
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the WOMB of the Morning: thou hast the DEW of thy YOUTH.
The womb of the morning, can also represent a NEW DAY / a NEW BEGINNING;
the day has a NEW BIRTH
wherein His MERCIES are NEW EVERY MORNING.
It’s the Racham of Adonai.
EL Rachum.
Is God's mercy and grace
God has His natural way to protect babies inside the womb
Rakhum is not just an emotion.
It also involves action.
It is through God’s compassion that He would answer Israelites cry for rescue, even though they often failed to be faithful and obedient.
God’s rakhum cares for His people and His provides for their needs.
The emotion God wants us to release is joy and happiness
This is emotion of God
Jesus even compared Himself as a mother hen who would shield her chicks with her wings from any potential harm.
JESUS' RAKHUM compelled Him to enter earth and trade our sins for His righteousness, saving us from eternal death.
Receive His compassion and His grace
JOHN 1:12-13 NIV
Yet to all who did RECEIVE him, to those who BELIEVED in his name,
he gave the RIGHT to become CHILDREN of GOD —
CHILDREN born NOT OF -
natural descent,
nor of human decision
or a husband’s will,
but BORN of GOD.
God created us and He wants us to be born again
Know how much He loves you, how much He paid the price
Trust God based on the Word
Trust God to do His part
We are not convincing someone to become a Christian
JOHN 7:37-39 KJV
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and DRINK.

Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the SAME WAY YOU HAVE BEEN GRACIOUSLY FORGIVEN by JESUS CHRIST.
In the spirit, you have been given the love of God
Begin to ask the holy spirit to show you. Sometimes when He shows us, it looks ugly when our old nature comes forth.
Let the Holy Spirit and the Word of God shows us

If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness
to them.
For LOVE is SUPREME and must FLOW through each of these virtues.

We are always growing and eating, we need to eat spiritual food
Comes up, no more ourselves
The old man died
Love will not pass away. God is love
He put that Love inside us in the womb

Most of us have a strong personalities of ourselves
When we are dead to our personalities, Christ live in us
It is a growing process
Transform and know His love like never before
