If we can only find His promises for OUR day and through faith and obedience see that Word manifesting through us, we will be born again. There is no other way. In each of the Seven Church Ages, God allotted a portion of Word or Spirit, and by foreknowledge, predestinated a people who would fulfill It. Once we're born-again, the Bible becomes a new Book. Suddenly It makes sense .
Former understandings seem childish.
Our victory is assured, but only our soul has been redeemed. It's born a 'spirit babe', unskilled in the Word of righteousness. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart'. We face the same temptations Satan offered Jesus - the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. The Word discerns whether our problem is Spiritual, in our mortal spirit, or our flesh.
