THE PURPOSE OF SPIRITUAL BIRTHING
Spiritual birthing is yet a tender and delicate subject within the body of Christ. So often it is misunderstood. When we request a spiritual 'mid-wife', we responded to a natural human need to be assisted or helped in all our endeavors. This is a frailty and weakness found only in humans. Yet man says: "for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring them forth"(2 Kings 19:3). BUT GOD SAYS: "Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to come forth?...shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb?..."(Isa. 66:9)
I am glad the Holy Spirit shows us the instinct of animals...they need no 'mid-wife', they need no help. When God created animals he put within them an 'animalistic' instinct and natural ability to have sex, get pregnant, and then give birth. As soon as that is over, the process begins again, and often time not with the same mate. We humans and Christians would frown upon that because we don't understand nor can we accept the natural(and spiritual) processes that God put in place. That is simply because of our sin nature. We became dependent...the man is dependent on the ground from whence he came, the woman's desire is to the man(her husband) she can't have sons or daughters without his seed. Hence the need to be born again so that we may understand the things of the Spirit(John 3:1-21).
Spirit needs no midwife nor direction to conceive or bring about...(it blows here it listeth..."John 3:8) its a spiritual process...its a spiritual thing. Let me go deeper, and please spare my ignorant indulgence. God saw a virgin in Israel, he needed a vessel to bring His son, Jesus into flesh. And according to Galatians 4:4-5 'in the fullness of time...' It happened. But let's examine the process. An angel appeared, spoke to a virgin who had never known a man, told her she would conceive, and the Holy Spirit came upon her, and nine months later she had a baby in a stable, in a manger in Bethlehem...all by herself and her husband; no indication of a midwife, or crying or any such thing. She had it among the animals...and they understood. The child in her was HOLY. Again forgive my depth of ignorance(Luke 1:26-40; 2:1-21).
Last year I was about to publish a book called: "PROPHETIC BIRTHING". I cancelled the project because the Holy Spirit spoke and said: "this generation of believers are not ready or prepared for such things". We associate everything with flesh and that is how we, even as christians, judge all things. Such things should not be. For 'that which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit'( John 3:6) I hope some of this may help. I would say more, but I prefer to allow the Spirit to speak to you instead. There is much that we in the body must learn if we are to win a generation not yet born to Christ Jesus.
SPIRITUAL BIRTHING IS A PROCESS THAT ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BRING ABOUT. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR FLESH...
IT IS DESIGNED TO BRING ABOUT SPIRITUAL THINGS INTO THE NATURAL...
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN TO MANKIND...
THE WILL OF THE FATHER BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN...
THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS AND DOMINION BACK TO MAN AS GOD GAVE IT...
TO BRING HONOR TO GOD THE FATHER AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST...
THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM TO THE GENTILES...
THESE THINGS ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED... BE BLESSED.
