Although I am a gentile, I came into the Kingdom of God when Jesus told me: You must be born again, then I heard Him say, I tell you the truth, Bob, unless, you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom Of God. That day when He spoke those words to me I was so excited as I listened. Then Jesus replied, “I assure you, Bob, no one can enter the Kingdom Of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. (Not beyond anyone’s understanding, Bob) So don’t be surprised when I say, You must be born again. The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.” (What can I do, Lord Jesus,) Check Out…Revelation 3:19-20, and certainly John 3:3-8 These instructions were not given immediate attention, but they enlarged my spirit of understanding, and bless the Lord He never released me till the narrow road became clear.
I grew up in a family, the fourth of eight children. We were an average Midwestern American farm family, Most of our lives was spent in and around the farm, or small town environment. Farming, growing corn and livestock were very familiar activities which created much of our family income. Money was always tight – It was a struggle for survival, but it didn’t cause a lack for the things we really needed. Somehow, a happy love was always close to our hearts, and we somehow realized that God was responsible for that.
