Stop freakn’ out! It’s all “Good.” In fact, it’s “Very Good.” The problem, people are paying attention to the wrong things. The key a person must “Be Born Again” and be willing to move in a good confident direction. I guarantee it; the confidence exists and is waiting for a response.
What does confidence feel like anyway? It means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities, not in an arrogant or self–centered way, but in a wonderfully weird, secure, and fulfilled Way. Confidence isn’t about feeling superior or better than others. It’s about inner freedom that you’re capable of living life “well” with God and others. Confidence comes when a person is anchored in God’s “Goodness” through being born again—revitalized to experience heaven and earth as God designed it to be in the first place.
Reality is exact; if security and freedom are expected, a person must be “procreated from above.” This actuality is shared in the Bible when Jesus said, “Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3 [KJV]).” The verse implies a person is born into an organic family; first, (mom and dad), where choice is not an option. Whereas choosing to repent (See the first command in series) gives a choice to handpick a close and personal relationship with God and others to live life well. It’s the second birth, not the first, that awakens the surety in our souls and says goodbye to worry and anxiety as long as we keep our part of the commitment with God. Again, this happens when a person is impregnated with God’s Spiritual Power by choice, where LIFE can be lived out practically and spiritually, now and forever.
Because feelings come and go, make sure to secure and maintain this unbiased command, “Be Born Again,” in your mind and heart so your soul can continually be refreshed with God’s Security and Freedom. This refreshment helps stabilize your feelings and attitude with God’s truth in your reality, where it nourishes your life thoroughly all the days of your life.
To care for and support the second birth, here are a few things to do to keep surety in your existence. Focus on building God’s kingdom rather than your bank account. Give to the needs of the spiritually poor and those who are practically deprived. Get active in life and function effectively in a “Good” church. Pray for a close relationship with God and others to cultivate "Goodness" in all your relationships.
I encourage all to put effort into getting the command “Be Born Again” into life to experience wonderfully weird success in this life and the next. Doing so will allow you to be fully secure in your soul where anxiety and worry are a thing of the past, and confidence and freedom give you the ability to express a life well lived through the Wonderfully Weird Command: “Be Born Again.”
With Confidence and Freedom,
