Title: “Double Truly”

Scripture: John 3:3
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Observation: What is God saying to me?
What do you see? Jesus put a “Double Truly” on this statement.
Truly, TRULY, I say to you… go up and read the verse again.

Being born again is the only way to see the kingdom of God.
When we are born again, through the Holy Spirit we are able to see things that are hidden to many people around us. How cool is that! What a privilege, right! God lets us in on the family business, He lets us see things that we couldn’t see before.

All around us right now the Kingdom of heaven is making moves, can you see it? If you can’t see it, then you need to lean into the new life God has made available to you.

Seek the Lord while He may be found, call on Him while He is near, He will open your eyes to see mysteries that you can only see in Him.

Application: What will I do about it?
Press into the Spirit. When you do the lights get bright and your sight gets right. Begin to look for the movement of heaven. Become a heaven detector, a person who has been given the ability to see things the rest of the world who is not born again can’t see.

Then blow people's minds by sharing with them the things you see!

Your life will become contagious for the Kingdom and people will begin to long to see what you see. Then the ones you love will become born again like you are and you will enter into new levels of relationship with the world around you.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I want to see what you are up to today so I can partner with You. Thank you for the glimpses of heaven I am able to see, refine my sight so I can see the kingdom more clearly. In Jesus Name. Amen!

I Am Grateful For… new life, new sight and being born of the Spirit of God.
