Born Again


Most people hear the phrase "born again" and think it means "getting saved" or "going to heaven." But what if it’s bigger than that? What if being born again is about seeing life differently, stepping into purpose, and becoming who you were always meant to be?

Seeing the Kingdom: A New Way of Thinking

When Jesus told Nicodemus, "Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3), He wasn’t talking about leaving this world and going to heaven. He was talking about perception—a new way of seeing and understanding life.

To be born again is to wake up to reality—to see beyond the limits of what you’ve been taught, beyond fear, past survival mode, and into something greater. It’s about recognizing that you were created for more.

Created with Purpose: The Original Design

From the very beginning, God’s intention for humanity was clear. In Genesis 1:26-28, He created mankind in His image and gave them five key assignments:

  1. Be fruitful – Grow, develop, and produce something meaningful.

  2. Multiply – Expand, increase, and pour into others.

  3. Replenish – Restore, refresh, and bring life wherever you go.

  4. Subdue – Take control of the things that try to control you.

  5. Have dominion – Walk in authority and purpose.

This isn’t just about Adam and Eve; it’s about you. Being born again is about returning to this original blueprint—living with intention, walking in wisdom, and bringing order where there was once chaos.

The Process of Rebirth: Unlearning and Overcoming

Being born again isn’t just about starting something new; it’s also about letting go of the old.

Many of us inherit mindsets, habits, and generational patterns that work against us. Fear, self-doubt, anger, addictions, broken relationships—these things don’t just happen; they’re often passed down through families, communities, and cultures.

To step into new life, we have to unlearn destructive cycles. We must recognize, confront, and subdue the things that have held us back. This is part of the process—subduing what tries to control you so you can walk in dominion.

The Kingdom Within

The kingdom of God isn’t a distant place; it’s a way of living. It’s about realizing that you are already equipped with everything you need to thrive. Being born again is an invitation to see, grow, and become—to align with the life you were meant for.

Are you ready to step into it?

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - ×™ַ×¢ֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...

Naturally

There’s a phrase that came to me one morning, somewhere between sleep and waking: "You got a natural on the way!" It landed in my spirit with excitement—like a whisper from Heaven. And the more I sat with it, the more I realized it wasn’t just a random phrase. It was a confirmation. I’ve been in pursuit of purpose for most of my life. But if I’m honest, that pursuit was often desperate—striving to prove something, misusing the very talents I was naturally given in an effort to make a name for myself. And while serving time for that pursuit, I discovered things in me that no one taught me. Insights. Truths. Talents, that just came naturally. Then it hit me: that’s the point. Genesis 1:26–28 tells us we were made in the image of God. Before the fall. Before religion. Before shame. We were blessed. And that blessing wasn’t ornamental—it was functional. It was meant to activate our design: Be fruitful Multiply Replenish the earth Subdue it Have dominion We weren’t made to strugg...
