Entering into the Kingdom of God:
NEW BIRTH- John 3:1-8
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

This teaching assignment was given to me during the early hours of 6/17/2016:
To seek is to go in search or quest of; to look for; to take pains to find. First is to be before all others in time, order, rank, or importance. The Kingdom of God is the spiritual realm of God, or the sphere of God’s influence. A kingdom is the territory or country subject to a king, the dominion or monarch.
My assignment in my home and wherever I go is to teach men and women who God is. This was given to me over two years ago during my hour of prayer. While looking up towards heaven, I heard these words spoken from the realm of the Spirit: “Teach them who I am. They don’t know me. This is why they are living as mere worms. They have heard about me, but don’t have an intimate (personal) relationship with me.”
During the same time the Holy Spirit was speaking to me, these word were also heard; “I created them in my likeness and in my image. When they find out who I am, they will know who they are and will no longer live as mere worms without purpose or direction. Therefore, teach them who I am.”
The teaching team and I are ready to obey the Holy Spirit without question and with a spirit of excellence!

STATED POSITIVELY:
In the light (1 John 1:7) But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
In Christ………. (Colossians 2:6) As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
STATED NEGATIVELY, HOW NOT TO WALK:
In sin………. (Colossians 3:5-7) Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: Fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
In disorder……….. (2 Thessalonians 3: 6, 11) But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.
