The beginning Scripture on the Road to Healing.

This scripture is the first step to healing. Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus but He was talking to everyone in human race at the same time. Jesus wants us all to come to Him, not just in Church on Sunday morning, but every day of our lives. He want us to partner with Him.
Unless you are Born Again
Being "Born Again" is much more than a term Christians use, it is the beginning of a life full of God. When I was "Born Again" in the Methodist Church in Glenwood Iowa in 1977. It was like my whole life changed in a matter of hours. I was a poker playing, grocery store clerk with a couple of great kids, a wife and trying to figure out what life was all about. One March weekend in 1977 my whole life changed. I was "Born Again".
I remember after the weekend was over - I was so full of God. It was like I had climbed the high diving board at a swimming pool and jumped in! I was totally immersed in God's love.
Most Christians I know say they are born again and they are, but they want to try it first. I went to the high diving board. Some want to enter the pool at zero entry level, then move on to the one foot, then three feet, and do quite well until they get to the five foot level. By then a few trials may have come their way and they start to back off. Not Kay and I, we were totally immersed in God's love and we never have turned back since we were "Born Again". It was the beginning of a life and a very exciting journey we have led for over 40 years.
You cannot see the Kingdom of God
When you become "Born Again" - it is the beginning of the story, an epic of your life. You don't know what or where you are going. It is your first step of "Faith". I was standing outside the Methodist Church, with the long set of weekend meetings over. Our wonderful guests had left and I was all alone in front of the church. I asked myself, "O.K. God, what now?" The big hole in my chest was filled with God's love & I knew what to do.
God began to show me a whole new way of living. Desires I had that were not good, began to leave my life. All I wanted to do was find more of God. I began to study God's Hand Book. A book of instructions (called the Bible) which was full of adventure. The church started bible studies which were the beginning of finding the Kingdom of God. I began to catch a glimpse of the Kingdom of God. It was very exciting to Kay and I during this period of our lives. The rest of the year we began to renew our minds, to the Kingdom of God, versus the kingdom of the world.
