BORN AGAIN: NOT BY WATER

 BORN AGAIN: NOT BY WATER
by Alan Yusko

Many are confused by this verse because they do not know that water baptism has no part in salvation. Here is the verse...(5)

John 3:
3 Jesus 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 Jesus 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.

Nicodemous was curious.. He wondered how a person could be born again.. One cannnot re-enter the womb to be born again...

Some are mistaken when they read John 3:5. They think that being born of water is water baptism. Sadly, I have heard people make that foolish claim. So let me explain this verse. This verse is speaking of the 2 births available to mankind. The first is born by water. This is human birth. We all come into this world as a baby. Ever hear the term.. "her water broke"... That happens before birth of a baby. Whan that happens the baby is coming. Better go straight to the hospital or wherever you plan to have the baby. So physical birth is being born of water. We all go through that birth.

Next we have another birth. It is a birth by the Spirit. This happens when a person repents and admits he is a lost sinner before God. Next he trusts the Lord Jesus alone for eternal salvation. At that point the person is born again, or born of the Spirit. Look at this verse..

John 3:
3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Now we are all born physically or born of water. But only a few choose to be born again by trusting the Lord Jesus alone for eternal salvation.

What choice have you made? Are you born just once or have you been born twice? Only those born twice will be going to heaven. Make a wise choice.

PRIESTS BEFORE THE LORD

 PRIESTS BEFORE THE LORD By Alan Yusko Are you redeemed? Are you saved, born again, a new creature in the Lord Jesus Christ? If so then here is some very good news for you. Did you know you are a priest before God? Its true. Look at this verse: Revelation 5: 10 “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” This verse says the saved are kings and priests before God. Now as kings we hae nothing to rule in this world. That comes later after the Lord Jesus returns physically to earth. However, right now you are a priest before God. As a priest you can pray and His ears are open to your prayers. This also gives everyone who is saved a minstry before God. When you see a need in this evil lost world, then pray to the Lord about it. In doing so the Lord hears your prayer and can choose to do things as a result of your prestly prayer. Here is another verse: Philippians 4: 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiv

DECEPTION: HAVE THE ELECT BEEN DECEIVED?

 DECEPTION: HAVE THE ELECT BEEN DECEIVED? By Alan Yusko The answer to the question in the title of this post is ... yes you are deceived. Indeed, many who call themselves saved have been deceived in these very last days. Look at these verses: Matthew 24 kjv 24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Mark 13 kjv 22 “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” Now what do I mean that many of the elect, the saved have been deceived? Sadly, many have fallen for satan's corrupted and perverted false modern bibles. They have fallen away from the pure word of God in the kjv. The deceived read, quote, and use bibles based on corrupted documents and claim they are more up-to-date that the kjv. This is the deception of the devil. You see the kjv is both imspired and preserved b

THE TEMPLE WILL BE BUILT SOON

 THE TEMPLE WILL BE BUILT SOON Alan Yusko In mid September 2022, 5 red heifers were sent to Israel. The were first chedked by rabbi's and pronounced clean. Next they were shipped to Israel. The red heifer is used to purify the temple sacrifice and priests. Everything is ready to go. But Israel cannot start to build their temple right now and to reestablish the temple sacrifice. If they try to do so there will be a major war from all their arab enemies. Many of those enemies surround Israel. I'm talking about the plo, hammas, Iran etc. But the Jewish temple is coming as it is a part of bible prophecy in these last days. It is not for the Jewish people as the Lord Jesus died on the cross and paid the price for sin as the passover lamb of God. But there is another purpose for the temple. You see the antichrist beast will be needing that temple so he can commit the abomination of desolation. Right in the middle of the 7 year time of Jacob's trouble, the antichrist beast will en
