Daily Bible Thought: From the Earth Speak Things of the Earth?

John.3:31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the Earth belongs to the Earth, and speaks of the Earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

These words the apostle John speak above are beautiful and poetic, but have you actually thought about what is implied by Holy Spirit to us? Are we born from the earth, or are we born from heaven?

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

John.3:5 Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!
3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

You see, this is the context of John Chapter Three, that is, being born again, the entire chapter stands as one piece on Christ conversation with Nicodemus in being born a new, born again! Now we are faced with a profound truth, which is, if we are born from the earth, and not from heaven we speak the things of the earth, shocking is it not?

1 Corinthians 14:21 In the law it is written, "By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord."{Isaiah 28:11-12}

Matthew 10:20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

Matthew 13:13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don't see, and hearing, they don't hear, neither do they understand.

Matthew 13:34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn't speak to them.

In other words, reading our bibles does not born us again from heaven, joining a religion does not give us a new birth, so what do we speak as religious people born from the earth? Well, according to Christ who is the truth, the things of the earth, not the things of heaven!

John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

Subsequently, we take all things from God's word and translate them into words we speak from being born from the earth. Where as those born from heaven are translated into the kingdom of the Son's love a vast difference. This truth is profound, it explains why people are under the spell of false religion, why religion always repeats the same weed thinking mistakes, and eventually corrupts into fleshly problems just like the rest of Satan world found in darkness.

1 John 4:5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

Yes, another profound truth, we cannot change a species into another type by feeding it food. We cannot change a person birth family by feeding it food of a new family. Reading the bible only leads us to Christ, then, and only then can a person received life from heaven at God's will, not ours. Once born again, the translation process starts by Holy Spirit helping us understand spirit words because that is the food of a spirit person born from God's Spirit as a new person.

Colossians 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;

Some of that food is found in God's word the bible, it is unlocked into understanding and real spirit food by Holy Spirit. Hence, we have stumbled upon another truth? Those born of earth when reading the bible create yeast a polluted version of truth, the fleshly thoughts and its power changes the truth into a food that the fleshly mind can consume. This is why Jesus told those fleshly teachers of Israel they could not hear him. They could hear his words but then misinterpret his words into fleshly thoughts, and impute evil to Christ, but they could not hear the truth which came from the Spirit in Christ speak the from the power behind the words, Holy Spirit.

John 8:43 Why don't you understand my speech? Because you can't hear my word.

John 8:47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God."

Moreover, the apostle John later was to write that this is how we know if someone is from God or not, how? If they could listen to our words, that is, from those born from heaven.

1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
