Principle of accurate {salvation} regeneration

Jeremiah 9:23-24

23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. KJV

Millions came to accept Christ with different motives and agendas that dose not necessarily represent the ultimate plan and purpose of God for their salvation. The ideology of coming to God to be blessed, healed and prospers without allowing the core purpose of inner redemption and reformation take its full place is an abuse of Gods grace and mercy. you are not saved merely to acquire  material things or get emotionally fulfilled your desire and passion in salvation must be directed to Christ alone. You must allow the ministry of the Spirit to shape you into the Father’s original desire and intent for you life.

This footing and foundation of approaching salvation unfortunately has being the default mentality of most denomination within the Body of Christ and this has definitely crippled the development and perfection of the saints. As much as salvation is a gift to whosoever believes in Christ as the Son of the Living God, yet, on the other side of the coin, this powerful gift is built on a corresponding attitude of faith, obedience and precise spiritual knowledge that continually shapes your response and experience to that of a truly converted believer.

This process requires a constant conflict between your spiritual regeneration and mental dominance faculty. Apostle Paul after twenty years in intense ministry writes to the Church of Rome about his personal inner struggle of sanctification and the sinful nature. He admits in Romans chapter 7:15-25 that the sinful nature living in him operates through a law {principle} that can only be defeated through a higher law of God {Romans chapter 8:1-3}.

When there is no proper clarity on how to deal with this inner struggle one tends to keep fallen into the same chaos time and over again and this eventually leads to frustration and eventually cause many to backslide. Pulling down the strongholds {wrong attitudes and false belief systems} of our past life experiences demands a daily conformity to Christ’s mindset according to Romans 12:1-3, before this predominant template and model of behavioral character starts submitting to the power of inner transformation {change} in the life of the believers.

As long as there’s no deliberate engagement of kingdom truth and its principles toward our default defeated paradigm of thinking; we might indeed be positionally saved and make it to heaven, but will surely lose out of the manifested benefits and inheritance that should flow into your life through your redemptive blessing and inheritance here on earth.{Galatians chapter 4, and 5}

The battle toward the development and actualization of regeneration depends on what you and I do with the reality of this gift of salvation in engaging our old conduct on a daily basis.  The definition of kingdom based salvation is never a onetime event as assumed in time saw past, but a life time experience of a continual development of the incorruptible seed in us, waiting to grow for all to see.

The seed of salvation must birth and produce the required fruit of righteousness in 30 fold, 60 fold and hundred respectively. You can grow in your salvational experience from fold to a full grown hundred fold nature in Christ according to

Ephesians: 4:13-15

till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a full grown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

14 that we be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, (even) Christ; ASV

2. be able to distinguish between salvation and mere religious acts
3. be able to define the knowledge of salvation from the days of John to the present day
4. be able to define the meaning of soul salvation
5. also be able to lead any one to Christ

Basic foundation

Acts 4:12
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” NIV

Salvation meaning so-tay-ree-ah in the Greek; is defined as the act of rescue, deliverance from something, or to be saved from an impending harm either spiritual or mental. In other words salvation covers your health both physical and mental.

There is no doubt that the only key to accessing God’s forgiveness, love and mercy is through genuine salvation-A salvation that is based on the knowledge and understanding of the Father’s love, grace and mercy for each one who comes to him with a heart of repentance. Reconciliation comes through the realization of one’s sinful nature and the will to return to the Lord without excuse. The story of the prodigal Son in Luke chapter 15 reveals the profound love and mercy of the Father to all who have strayed away from his love. Nothing brings satisfaction to the human heart except the return of such heart to his creator.

Isa 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. ASV

The vision and objective of the study

The aim and objective of this material is to firmly build and accurately re-establish the core pillars, footing and foundational values of the ministry of a kingdom based regeneration principle. It becomes highly necessary that we make a clear differentiation of God centered salvation from what is being peddled today in most Christian circles. Without adequate recapture of the mind of God for salvation I do not think we will be able to regain the life and authority waiting to manifest through the seed of redemption. A major omission of truth is taking place in the mainstream sectors of the Body of Christ as it relates to the culture and philosophy of salvation.

Many leaders view the message of salvation as a five to ten minutes motivational word that is given to encourage the listeners after the main sermon is preached. As simple as the gift of salvation may look to most people, it requires a sound and a clear understanding, with precise delivery capacity to adequately communicate its life and truth to the people yearning for God. People respond to salvation’s message for different reasons best known to them, yet it is the duty of the one giving the message to clearly present the truth in a manner that truly represents God and the message without compromising the intended purpose, principle, and process of salvation to its receiver.

The demand and complexity of salvation’s function and intention within the human heart needs to be taught while the receiver is given the opportunity to decide either to accept or reject Christ. This understanding helps us to clearly know what is expected of us and how to respond in time of great trial, discouragement and temptation to draw back. Many people get disillusioned after the euphoria of receiving Christ dies down.

The big question is always, where do I go from here? Salvation is just the accessing door to a bigger purpose and vision the Lord has waiting for us. Perversion and misconception of truth is no longer accepted in our days. The Lord is busy redefining and re-engineering his church for higher impact as he restore’s his truth back to the Body. And the gates of hell {tradition, religion and all forms of human philosophies} that have crept into His Church to stop, pollute and neutralize her power of relevance and advancement will no longer prevail.

What is the power of the gospel?

The principle and process of man’s regeneration’s purpose is of great importance to the whole emphasis of the present reformation and restoration of kingdom truth. The power of the gospel {the good news} is engraved on the life Christ lived before his death, the process of his death on the cross of Calvary, and the message he gave his disciples to preach and teach after his ascension.

This is the message of sound biblical salvation we’re called to export to our generation without distortion. The moment the early church allowed other philosophies and ideologies to infiltrate the sanctity of the message and its principle of delivery, they began to lose the authority, power and life of the gospel of the kingdom. If the world is going to come into true realm of divine transformation and restoration, we then need to first accept and start teaching the present reformation gospel of the kingdom and not of our traditional denominations.

Without the restoration of the truth that guides us back toward the path of rediscovery of the whole teaching on regeneration, we will continue to grope in the darkness of Christian religion activity. One of the reason why sound kingdom based teaching is highly needed in this time, is to bring the Church back to the right spiritual view of Christ’s image in relating to the purpose of his death, burial, resurrection and ascension. Many of the so called charismatic/Pentecostal teachings being preached today in regard to the present prophetic apostolic reformation are misrepresenting the core issue of the present kingdom reformation, which strictly addresses the issue of human blindness and deformity of character. To clearly understand the mission of salvation, I believe we will need to firstly understand its true doctrine and purpose holistically. Unfortunately today, the search to understand and be firmly established on sound biblical doctrine in regards to the Spirit of truth has been deliberately avoided in our quest for materialism.

The commercialization of the gospel has continually robbed many of the power to pursue the emancipation of their soul from the hold of the satanic hold. The Lord promises us to pour into our lives blessing that we will not be able to contain if only we can first find and discover the principle of living which is only found in his kingdom.  But the forty minutes of highly hyped commercialized and entertaining preaching has continually made it very difficult for the truth seeker to know, accept, appreciate and understand the very essence of salvation.

Pure and undiluted salvation will address the issue of man’s restoration, reformation and transformation at all spheres of human existence if we’re willing to follow its path. When the true kingdom based recovery message is clearly understood men will start seeing the actualization of the power of regeneration, dominion and immortality at work again.

2 Tim 1:8-10
8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;
9 who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
10 but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, ASV

Recapturing the truth

One of the most mysterious and profound studies in the word of God is centered on the ministry and doctrine of salvation better known as regeneration. The human reasoning faculty cannot and will not be able to fully comprehend the transforming life experience carried out through the death and ascension of Christ. This salvation –new life in Christ, sets into motion the beginning of man’s ultimate freedom from the inherited fallen Adamic nature through the workings of the power of regeneration and restoration of the new man back to Christ.

When the first man and his wife abdicated their God given position and authority to Satan’s trap of deception and seduction in the garden, the entire human race seed became blind, enslaved and polluted by this one single act of disobedience. Right from that point on the Lord began the journey and process of redeeming mankind through the ages down to the final sacrifice which was paid through the death of Christ on the cross.

Isaiah 53 did not just give us the vivid process and procedure of Christ’s sacrifice for all humanity but also showed us the very principle and pattern of man’s process to freedom from the power of Sin’s nature.  Many have not been told that the word of God is not some kind of magic book of incantation you make when you are in trouble. The word gives us delegated responsibility that we must adhere to if the promise must be ours.

Following the pathway to personal transformation requires a life of complete obedience to the direction and guidance of the Spirit. The scripture says Jesus died for us to show us an example of how to live and grow in our spiritual migration. Many love the promise of the word of God but not the process. Isaiah 53 gives us both the promise and the process of actualization.

The coming of Christ to the world was the turning point of redemption and deliverance {salvation} for all humanity. He came with the message of rebirth, renewal and translation into the kingdom of God via repentance and a lifestyle of obedience, faith and love towards the will Father. Lots of people in his day missed and rejected the message he brought, though they followed him for great miracles, healing and provision of fish and bread as the case may be. Very few followed him for the message of inner reformation and transformation of their lives.

The blind religious order and system of his days prevented most of the people from accepting his message just like we see in our time. Christ’s message was simple and clear for all to see, understand and accept, yet it was the most difficult choice for most due to the soulish template of thinking and the strong religious and traditional philosophy that seeks to control the people.

Remember that the Pharisees and Sadducees were the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who later became the custodians of the Law, passed down to Moses. Their mission was to preserve the law for the people until the coming of the Messiah-the fulfillment of the Law of God which is built on love. They were chosen and assigned to bridge the gap between the old and new that will be manifesting through the message of Christ but the falter in they’re mission.

But when the pattern chosen by God shifted from their old stereotyped pattern of thinking, they became the very stumbling block to the message of repentance and acceptance of the kingdom of God. They fought and stood against Christ their messiah who brought the message of salvation to his people, which was; repent, for the kingdom of God has come near you. Because of their religious and rational thought, they planned and tried to destroy the author of life and very message they were sent to preserve. They indeed missed their day of visitation!

Outside the few numbers of those that got saved during the earthly ministry of Jesus, like the twelve disciples, then the seventy he later sent out, Zacchaeus in {Luke 19; 9} and the blind man in John chapter 9-the in-depth ministry of salvation and redemption was not fully revealed until the early birth of the Church in Act chapter 2, with the first three thousand souls that got saved in just a day; though John and Christ had laid the foundation for this great manifestation of truth boldly proclaimed by the Apostles.

Who are the carriers of the message of salvation?

One of the key ministries of John the Baptist was to baptize people unto repentance. Repentance carries different degrees of meaning, from turning away from Sin to God, to turning from holding unto one level truth to the present revealed emphasis of Spirit God both to the Church and the nations like it seen in Act chapter 3:19-20. Repentance also means a complete turning away from the wrong way of thinking to the required perception of the Spirit.  The word of God can only be clearly understood when there is a genuine sense of repentance in the heart of men. You will notice that Christ message was centered on repentance; He said to the people of his days, repent for the kingdom of God has come near you.

The manifestation or drawing close of the kingdom of God to any generation is strictly based on their ability to completely turn from one point of believe to the required position of the present truth. The more truth is reveal to us, the more we need to repent and migrate to the present emphasis of the Lord for our live, families and community. The ministry of repentance which is centered on kingdom based salvation draws us unto that day of perfection according to Ephesians chapter 4.

True repentance is a complete change of human nature, lifestyle and attitude to God and his environment. The ministry of John was to introduce the people of his day to the key meaning {knowledge}, science or technology of salvation. The prophetic words that went on John’s behalf are, “he will give people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins because of the tender mercy of God. Many who gave heed to the ministry and teaching of John came to be Baptist at the Jordan River. You’ll also notice that is baptism was a remedial process and that prepared the peoples heart from the true baptism that was to be administered by the messiah himself. John said, I Baptist you with water but he that is coming after me shall Baptist you with the Holy Spirit and fire. What a statement!

This scripture and many others seem to suggest that there has to be a clear and precise knowledge of salvation by the people before they are allowed to make such choice. A revelational shift of the message of salvation from the Old Testament concept to the New Testament has to be engraved through sound apostolic teaching in the heart and template of the people before they are given the opportunity.

This explained why three thousand souls got saved in the first preaching of Peter just immediately after the birthing and impartation of the Spirit in the lives of the disciples in the upper room. The community of the new born Church was birthed with the spirit of salvation via the power and ministry of the Holy Spirit. This new life experienced by people who came for ceremonial worship at the template left Jerusalem with new life and hope to their different countries. {Act chapter 2}

Down through the centuries to the present age of the church, the Body of Christ has witnessed a major shift from the doctrinal foundation and the core moral values and principles that builds and enhances the life and Spirit behind sound spiritual development and emancipation from the carnal human nature. Ungodly tradition and humanistic philosophy crept into the heart of the early fathers, who were custodians and ambassadors of the message of truth; they allowed the greed, ambition and quest for political power to creep in and seize and neutralize their position and authority; they forfeited their kingdom mandate to bring reformation and transformation to their generation. This unfortunate turn of events crippled, limited and for a season perverted the whole ideology and essence of what the church is and represents.

Luke 11:52 “Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge, You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” NIV

The Body of Christ is just beginning to witness the restoration of what I’ll call sound spiritual and doctrinal foundation as we see the fundamental {foundational} ministry of the teacher; prophet and apostle being restored back to their rightful place in Body of Christ. These ascension ministries are responsible for the recapturing of the thought and mind of the Father in the accuracy of laying and building sound biblical doctrine of Christ and the whole concept for effective ministry gifts in the development and restoration of the church.

These ministry gifts will rebuild the core structure and life of the Church which formulate the capacity to come into the full maturation of Christ the Messiah. It is important to re-emphasize that the core ministry of the prophets and apostles is to build sound biblical doctrines through the deep and broad insight into the word of Christ for every area of life which include the message of salvation and its intention for global harvest. Unfortunately today, many who claim to be saved might have to re-examine their basis for salvation on the present ascended truth being restored back to the house of God. The lies, deception and falsehood that have been propagated for centuries must come to an end as we press into the heart of the father to open our eyes of understanding again to his will and ultimate desire for salvation.

There is no way the world can be saved or free from the power of hell if we don’t get the whole concept and meaning of true salvation right in our time. It is highly important to understand that salvation is designed to build the footing, foundation and structure that will carry and house the father’s ultimate desire for mankind. This means that human idea is not allowed to interfere with the message and meaning of regeneration less we’re disqualify in the ministry of soul harvest.

Redefining salvation from an accurate restored concept of truth

Salvation is the reforming, realigning and restoring of the fallen, distorted, perverted and corrupt human nature back to its original place and position in God’s divine order, structure and pattern of existence. To put the definition in its right perspective, one would say that it is the rebirthing of God’s kingdom civilization amongst fallen human race; salvation {regeneration} is the process of accepting and internalizing the nature and principle of God’s kingdom philosophy and culture within human affairs.

This culture {way of life} seeks to invade, impress and imprint the divine nature and government of Christ into man’s world, by correcting his perverted default template of seeing and responding to issue both within and outside he’s community. In other words, when you truly accept and understand the meaning of what you meant when you said Christ should come into your life, your entire life steps into a total different realm of existence-it is called kingdom culture. I wonder if 70% of the people who at one point or the other confessed their sins to God truly and sincerely understood what they were doing.

This season of restoring truth must holistically address and deal with the heart beat of redemption and regeneration as it lays the foundation for true apostolic impact globally. If we’re truly serious about teaching and preparing individuals and the corporate Body of Christ to finish strong, we must then step into the heart or realm of pure kingdom salvation- this will ultimately create the pathway of regaining the lost image and spirit of second man, the last Adam. Please ready 1 Corinthians chapter 15

The doctrine of true kingdom based salvation must be restored to the view of all those who genuinely desire to be save and see the appearance of the Lord within their Body. The scripture says ‘only the pure in heart will see the Lord. {Mathew 5} This acquired sight comes when the footing of the father’s intention for salvation is clearly understood by leaders and adequately pass down to every member of the Body of Christ. Our Salvation creates such opportunity to behold the appearance of the Lord not just in our own lives but within the corrupt society as we totally surrender and commit ourselves to the ministry of purity and holiness, enhanced by the life and grace of the Holy Spirit working in and through us.

The battle for true salvation

Righteousness is a nature and posture we have as a result of walking in the obedience and the newness of our restored spirit before our heavenly father. It’s not the act of self-imposed righteous act, due to some good works we perform in our local assemblies or the community around us. As important and necessary our good work is to the Lord and the community, no amount of pithy or any of these charitable works can qualify us to be righteous before the Lord. Our righteousness is based on a lifestyle of obedience to the will and purpose of the Father.

The reason why we still see so many ungodly attitudes and characters amongst those who claims to be saved is due to the lack of understanding the concept of spirit and soul salvation. Many are truly saved in their spiritman but the reality of that spiritual experience has not been transferred or filtered down to the controlling influence of their soul, such that their character or behavior is regulated through this spiritual newness sitting within their inner man. As much as salvation is a free gift to whosoever accept Christ as their Lord and Savior, yet the whole process of its effect and impact in the transformation of our fallen human nature does not come easy because we’re dealing with not just the spirit of the person but also the soul {site of intellect, emotion and will} realm of men.

Yes, the spirit is made alive once Christ is accepted in truth and in Spirit yet this unregenerated rebellious Soul will constantly fight to stop and hinder ones commitment to lasting deliverance already taking place in the spiritman. Satan and his cohorts are very good in using past issues stored in our memory to fight and try to cripple us from growing in our salvation mandate.

True salvation must deal with the three part aspect of the human life-spirit Soul and Body. To only proclaim that all people need is to merely confess Christ and they’re saved is a half truth and this will eventually become dangerous to the person who just accepted the Lord but still fell like a sinner. Lots of people today are disillusioned and frustrated because of the misinformation and misrepresentation of this salvational truth.

Our battle or victory is not really centered or majored on overcoming Satan like we’ve been made to believe through shortsighted knowledge of the word of God; but rather to overcome our fallen carnal, selfish and blind humanistic nature that continually grants Satan leeway into our unregenerated rebellious Soul, the residence of our emotion, intelligence and will. The fallen rebellious human nature is the number one enemy of man. Those who are truly seeking for emancipation, immortality and the appearance of our Lord within their body will sincerely have to learn to turn the sward of the Spirit which is the word of God against themselves.

• 2Co 10:3 Of course, we are living in the flesh, but we do not fight in a fleshly way.
• 2Co 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not those of the flesh. Instead, they have the power of God to demolish fortresses. We tear down arguments
• 2Co 10:5 and every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive in order to obey Christ.
• 2Co 10:6 We are ready to punish every act of disobedience when your obedience is complete.

This powerful scripture gives us a clearer picture of what is required of us when it comes to the dealing with the issues of our past frighten ungodly memories Satan uses most time to cripple the advancement of our redemption purpose. Remember the word of the Lord already told us the mission of Satan over the life of a believer; he is come to steal, kill and destroy.

This means that you must be alert to know how he’s trying to steal, kill and destroy your call to follow the Lord. There are several powerful weapons in the word of God that will help us fight and win the deception and seduction of Satan. The power of the cross is the strongest weapon against the lust of the flesh, the pride of life and the deceitfulness of riches that most time gets us distracted from following the Lord.

• 1Pe 1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep a clear head, and set your hope completely on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

• 1Pe 1:14 As obedient children, do not be shaped by the desires that you once had in your ignorance.

The cross is one of the key weapons given to all believers to carry on a daily basis in order to constantly put the flesh and its passion where they belong or else the fight against the enemy will be lost without remedy. The enemy we’re called to fight and overpower is within us. This truth must be crystal clear to any one sincerely desiring lasting freedom. The implanting and manifestation of the kingdom of God begins with the reality and demonstration of submitting the power of our emotion, will, desire and intellectual faculty to Christ.  The redefinition and re-understanding of the whole concept and purpose of salvation becomes one of the restoring purpose and ministry of the Holy Spirit in our day.

Correcting wrong definition

A wrong paradigm leads to a wrong conclusion while wrong conclusion leads to a wrong emphasis of half truth and its manifestation to people; to experience lasting freedom we have to start by recapturing the whole essence of the mind of Christ for his death, burial resurrection and ascension in our redemptive purpose. Little or nothing will be achieved without precisely taking the whole process and purpose of redemption into account.

Christ had to die spirit, soul and Body for our redemption and regeneration to be accepted and perfected by the Father. Without the shedding of blood the scripture says there can’t be remission of sin. To take delivery of what Christ has done on the cross we have to come via the cross.  Our spiritual inheritance begins with the knowledge and application of the reality found in the life of the cross. The whole essence of salvation starts and ends with following the path the cross of Christ laid down for us.

Essence of progressive salvation {Eph 1:15-19}

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, NIV

As it is made clear through the revelation of word of God that salvation itself is a means to an end and not the end itself. It’s becomes clearer what the Lord desired to achieve through salvation when we sincerely understand the whole purpose of the ministry of death and the reality of the new life in Christ. Salvation is a journey or process to a higher development and dimension {maturity} of existence {life} in Christ, which empowers us to govern and take back our lost position of dominion over self life.  The corrupt humanistic system of the world and the ruling forces of darkness that shapes culture and all forms of ungodly tradition never stop in fighting those who are willing to give-up the self life. Salvation is not just a liaison or passport to heaven as it has been widely preached and believed. We have to press into the spirit realm via the root of the living word to see and hear the ultimate intention of the Father’s counsel for our salvation.

Rom 12:1-2

2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is. NLT

When we accept Christ into our lives, our lost spiritual organs and faculties starts to journey back to their correct position and posture in Christ. The restoration of these organs begins to attract the very nature of the Spirit through the fruit of the spirit taking dominion over the former rebellious soulish and carnal attitude. It is true that our salvation is spiritual yet we also live in a natural realm of life govern by fallen faculties of the human soul. It is in this area of the mind that most of the work needs to be intensified if we must truly enjoy total benefit of our salvation. The character and personality that defines who we are is resident within the nature and faculty of our soul.

The salvation of human spirit, soul and body is one teaching that must be clearly taught and precisely understood from a true apostolic foundation and concept in order to get the broader vision, mission and objective of our redemption within the context of our individual existence. We cannot over emphases this core reality of existence in God’s community, if we must make it into the realm of demonstration of kingdom life and authority.

The struggle and battle of the un-reformed and un-surrendered soul of man has continually limited, blocked and crippled the penetration of force of Christ’s divine light to do a total work of regeneration and ultimate transformation of our original image in Christ. Irrespective of what we know or are informed about within the parameter of our sensory human knowledge, it will do us no good if the life transforming revelation of divine truth has no penetrating capacity {power} to adjust and compel the soul to a state of absolute obedience to the living word.

2 Cor. 10:3-6
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. NKJV

Most people came to the knowledge of salvation as a tool to securing and enriching themselves for a better life on the earth, and also see it as the passport to making it to heaven. Salvation is not an escapist mentality but the key to emancipating you and I from the crippling power of darkness that held us bound in the chains of sin and ungodly human philosophy.

The concept of true redemption was highly preached as the only access key back to God’s original plan and purpose for man’s nature to be transformed and conformed to his original pattern of divine life to subdue and transform the earth. It becomes highly important to know that we are not redeemed for self-interest; rather we are saved to serve as the Father’s vessel of honor and to manifest his ultimate plan and purpose in the earth.

The wrong notion of seeing salvation as a mere key to enriching and advancing our personal interest and agenda ought to be corrected and re-adjusted within the mentality of Church leaders in order to have precise functional template and value system of accepting the Lord as ones personal Lord and savior within the present generation of believers and the next upcoming generation.

When this core truth becomes entrenched in the mind of every new believer, it becomes so easy to accept and allow and transfer the whole process of accurate message of regeneration and transformation to the next order of existence.

The revealed mystery of salvation

The mystery and reality of regeneration, the process and pattern to accurate transformation, is still very much vague in the minds of most preachers and teachers of Christian theology. The reason for this is attributed to the neglecting of the core revelational principle, pattern and system of the ultimate intent of the Father’s purpose for a lasting freedom, which precisely is based on the accurate access into the divine knowledge {revelation} of Himself. Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my father who is in heaven….

When man forsakes the pathway that leads to the light {Christ} to true illumination, every other acquisitions and passionate seeking of power, wealth and wisdom, becomes polluted and corrupted by the deep darkness setting within our un-regenerated soul; the realm that forms our faculty and physical response personality or character.

The pursuance of all types of religion, including Christianity does not have the full capacity and power to sanctify and satisfy the hollow and emptiness of the fallen Adamic nature without a life of total surrender to the path of the Lord. Your salvation is a call to relationship with your heavenly Father and not a formula taught by religious men. Religion was never God’s idea and if you’re going to succeed in your spiritual journey, you must learn to stay away from all forms of human tradition and ideologies that have no sound foundation and biblical continuity.

Regeneration, the principle of the second man, the last Adam

1 Corinthian 15:20-28

20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own turn: Christ, the first fruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24

Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. NIV

It is highly possible for one to engage in rigorous Christian or church activity if you like, and still be highly obscured and blind to the true meaning and definition of what true redemption and righteousness is all about.This inability to walk in the reality of what I call, the power of kingdom life has led many to doubt their salvation. Many today are frustrated because what was offered and defined to be the key to eternal freedom has turned out to be a lie. The heart of most Christians in the church today is still as it was before they joined the church community.

Seeking clearer amplification of regeneration

The concept of this divine regeneration will be more amplified by studying other men of God’s material who the Lord has given clearer insight and understanding in this theme. We will be looking at various materials that I believe will give us deeper revelational knowledge that has the power to clarify this divine mystery of regeneration and ultimate conformity into the lost image of God in the Garden.  I truly believe that only when the truth comes in unity and accurate strategic synergy and symphony of the Spirit can we corporately see the full spectrum of Gods divine {revelation} light manifesting in our dark soul realm.

The three dimensions of salvation will be considered carefully in the light of present revealed truth. The salvation of the spirit is mostly familiar with almost everyone, while that of the soul and Body is still obscured to millions of believers in the Church. Without a full understanding of the salvation of the total man, we cannot step into the realm of fulfilling the essence of redemption and regeneration. As we are about to step into the third day of our spiritual journey back to the place of ultimate restored image, we have to understand the present heartbeat of heaven.

More than ever before, heaven seeks to bring the Church into the realm of grace and discipline to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. This realm deals with accurate character transformation and formation of the seed of truth within the spirit man via the help of the Holy Spirit. The life, power and grace of the Spirit of God are highly needed in this journey to the third dimension of manifesting the glory of your salvation. Like I said earlier, salvation is both spiritual and mental development to the required posture of complete maturity.

The image of God that was lost through the fall of the first man in the Garden is being restored through the ministry of salvation. Seeing perfected men and women stand before the throne of God is the ultimate dream of Christ. The scriptures say the world is waiting for the manifestation of these Sons of God-those who have been totally transformed through their continual conformity to the mind and nature of Christ.

The Father is not pleased with our mere spiritual activity that lacks the necessary spiritual capacity to transit us to the place spiritual maturity that ultimately activates the illuminating light of Christ within us to change our environment. The salvation of the soul is one key issue today that we must get right individually and collectively as members of the Body of Christ if we must make the right and final transition into the place of effective and productive humans. This area of our journey is where most people find themselves struggling and confused due to very little teaching and clarity in this realm.

We need to open up to the ministry of the Holy Spirit to guide, lead and redirect our heart to the place of divine truth as it regards to this concept of freedom in Christ so that we can truly be vessels meet for the master use. The second part of this material put together by a close friend who the Lord has enlighten in this area will give clearer understanding and amplification to the ministry of salvation and regeneration in regards to the present truth of God to his Church.
