MARKS OF REGENERATION IV

The FOURTH mark of regeneration, which is reminiscent of the Gospel of John in its unique and yet symbiotic relationship to the Synoptic Gospels, is in reality and experience a capstone that hovers upon the FIRST THREE marks of regeneration like the NEW JERUSALEM COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, PREPARED AS A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND [Revelation 21:2], for this FOURTH mark of regeneration is the ELIXIR by which the FIRST THREE marks of regeneration are COMMUNICATED to the soul, the FIRST THREE marks of regeneration being those we covered in MARKS OF REGENERATION I, MARKS OF REGENERATION II, and MARKS OF REGENERATION III respectively.

Indeed, while the FIRST mark of regeneration produces in the NEW CREATURE an OVERRIDING, ABSOLUTE, IRREVOCABLE, BILLOWING, INTENSELY VIBRANT, CASCADING AVALANCHE OF PULSATING CONSUMING LOVE for the MAN Christ Jesus, even the Jesus of the Bible, as opposed to a false Jesus, and while the SECOND mark of regeneration produces in the NEW CREATURE an EXORBITANT JEALOUSY for the GLORY of Jesus Christ, and an EXORBITANT ZEAL for exalting the NAME of the MAN Jesus Christ, and while the THIRD mark of regeneration produces in the NEW CREATURE an EXTREME DESIRE AND LONGING TO OBEY JESUS CHRIST, even the MAN Christ Jesus of the Bible, the FOURTH mark of regeneration, like the NEW JERUSALEM COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, PREPARED AS A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND, now springs forth SUPERNATURALLY from the depths of the spirit of the NEW CREATURE as a CONTINUOUS, PERVASIVE, ONGOING, EFFERVESCENT, AROMATIC, SUPERNATURAL, DIVINELY WHISPERING SPIRIT OF PRAYER.

Mark it -- there is no more RADICAL CHANGE in the BEHAVIOR -- I say, in the BEHAVIOR, though not OUTWARD BEHAVIOR, but rather, INWARD BEHAVIOR -- indeed, there is no more RADICAL CHANGE in the BEHAVIOR -- the INWARD BEHAVIOR -- of the newly regenerated believer than the SUPERNATURAL SPIRIT OF PRAYER, which IMMEDIATELY begins to bubble up like springs of fresh water in a brook from the NEWLY QUICKENED SPIRIT of ALL, ALL, ALL whom the Holy Spirit truly resurrects and indwells upon the MOMENT of regeneration, and there are ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS to this RADICAL CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR as manifested by a CONTINUOUS, PERVASIVE, ONGOING, EFFERVESCENT, AROMATIC, SUPERNATURAL, DIVINELY WHISPERING SPIRIT OF PRAYER in the newly regenerated believer, which is to say, in the NEW CREATURE -- no exceptions WHATSOEVER. For PRAYER -- SPIRITUAL PRAYER -- GENUINE SPIRITUAL PRAYER -- PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST -- whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear -- TRUE SPIRITUAL PRAYER is the very NATURE of the Holy Spirit [Galatians 4:6], [Romans 8:26-27].

Indeed, now INFUSED with an EXTREME LOVE to Jesus Christ, and INFUSED with an EXTREME JEALOUSY AND ZEAL for the GLORY of Jesus Christ and the EXALTATION of his NAME, and INFUSED with an EXTREME DESIRE AND LONGING TO OBEY Jesus Christ, the newly regenerated believer, that is, THE NEW CREATURE -- mark it -- the NEW CREATURE -- and the term "NEW CREATURE" is not metaphorical in any way, shape, or form, but rather, the term "NEW CREATURE" is LITERAL in the VERY STRONGEST SENSE of the word, for the old sinner is quite LITERALLY a NEW CREATURE IN FACT -- I say, IN FACT -- as a result of the SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE OF REGENERATION [2 Corinthians 5:17], [Galatians 6:15] -- indeed, the NEW CREATURE is now INSPIRED and EMPOWERED -- I say, INSPIRED and EMPOWERED -- to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING [1 Thessalonians 5:17], and to do so IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, which is to say, the NEW CREATURE is now INSPIRED and EMPOWERED to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING IN THE HOLY GHOST [Jude 1:20], [Ephesians 6:18]. And lest this precious truth become hijacked at the outset, be it known that I am not even REMOTELY referring to speaking or praying in tongues.

No, I am referring to the MANIFEST -- MANIFEST -- the MANIFEST ACTIVITY OF THE HOLY GHOST HIMSELF IN THE INNER MAN, who HIMSELF INSPIRES a SPIRIT OF PRAYER in the newly regenerated believer, and who thus HIMSELF INITIATES and EMPOWERS the newly regenerated believer to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING in the Holy Spirit in the INNER MAN -- I say, it is the Holy Spirit HIMSELF who INITIATES this prayer [Galatians 4:6], [Romans 8:16] -- indeed, the Holy Ghost HIMSELF INITIATES and EMPOWERS the newly regenerated believer to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING in the Holy Spirit in the INNER MAN, and those who think that the command to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING is nothing EXCEPT hyperbole, or metaphor, or synecdoche, or what-have-you, are in for a rude awakening come judgment day, for that is when they will find out that they themselves have NEVER been genuinely born again, for PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING in the INNER MAN is a NEW CAPABILITY and a NEW DESIRE that is IMPLANTED into ALL, ALL, ALL that the Holy Spirit truly quickens and indwells upon the MOMENT of regeneration WITHOUT EXCEPTION. I say, PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING in the INNER MAN is a NEW CAPABILITY and a NEW DESIRE that is IMPLANTED upon the MOMENT of regeneration by the Holy Ghost HIMSELF into ALL, ALL, ALL who are truly born again, and there are absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS to this WHATSOEVER. None. Wait and see.

In fact, Charles Spurgeon spoke for ALL, ALL, ALL who are genuinely born again when he accurately observed --

Because the newly regenerated believer, the NEW CREATURE, has just been POSSESSED through the SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE OF THE NEW BIRTH by the Holy Ghost with an EXTREME INCANDESCENT LOVE to the MAN Jesus Christ -- and mostly, in fact, for no other reason EXCEPT this EXTREME INCANDESCENT LOVE to the MAN Jesus Christ, who now INDWELLS him and COMMUNES with him -- indeed, because the newly regenerated believer has just been POSSESSED by the Holy Spirit through the SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE OF THE NEW BIRTH -- and the SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE OF THE NEW BIRTH is a GREATER MIRACLE than created the very WORLDS -- mark it -- because the newly regenerated believer has just been POSSESSED through the SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE OF THE NEW BIRTH by the Holy Ghost with an EXTREME INCANDESCENT LOVE for the MAN Jesus Christ, the newly regenerated believer is therefore and thereby CONSTANTLY ENGAGED in a SPIRIT OF PRAYER, both TO and WITH Jesus Christ, and both IN and THROUGH the indwelling Holy Spirit who is PRESENT in the NAME of Jesus Christ, yea, the newly regenerated believer, because of his INCONSOLABLE, CONSUMING, BILLOWING, INCANDESCENT LOVE to Jesus Christ, yes indeed, the newly regenerated believer therefore LONGS, LONGS, LONGS to COMMUNE with Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit CONSTANTLY -- CONSTANTLY -- there are NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER -- mark it -- the NEW CREATURE therefore LONGS, LONGS, LONGS to COMMUNE with Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY [Song Of Solomon 2:4-5], [Song Of Solomon 5:8], and moreover, the indwelling Holy Spirit HIMSELF -- I say, the indwelling HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF -- indeed, the indwelling HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF likewise INSPIRES and INITIATES and EMPOWERS the newly regenerated believer in this ENGAGEMENT OF PRAYER, in this ENGAGEMENT of PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING IN THE HOLY GHOST  -- mark it -- the Holy Spirit HIMSELF likewise INSPIRES and INITIATES and EMPOWERS the newly regenerated believer in this SUPERNATURAL PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST, as ALL who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit KNOW, and KNOW INFALLIBLY, for this -- I say, FOR THIS -- THIS COMMUNION WITH JESUS CHRIST VIA SUPERNATURAL PRAYER IN THE HOLY GHOST is the QUINTESSENTIAL DEFINITION of HEAVEN ON EARTH.

Behold! If you don't know this by EXPERIENCE, then hear it well -- COMMUNION WITH JESUS CHRIST IN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL DEFINITION OF HEAVEN ON EARTH, AND IS LIKEWISE THE VERY ESSENCE OF LIFE ETERNAL -- I say, COMMUNION WITH JESUS CHRIST -- GENUINE SUPERNATURAL COMMUNION WITH JESUS CHRIST IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF LIFE ETERNAL [John 17:3]. And there is not a GENUINELY born again Christian on this planet who hasn't EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THAT, along with also EXPERIENCING the FIRST THREE MARKS OF REGENERATION in tandem with EXACTLY THAT. Not one.

The man who is genuinely born again and walking in obedience and fellowship with the Lord Jesus -- not with the church, or with a principle, or with a doctrine, ad nauseam -- no indeed, rather, obedience and fellowship with the MAN Jesus Christ, even with the LORD Jesus Christ, the man who is not in a backslidden state, but who is standing fast, is CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY in the state of a SUPERNATURAL SPIRIT OF PRAYER by the POWER of the Holy Spirit, and is therefore PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING. Indeed, this man, even while engaged in other tasks, is nevertheless CONSTANTLY in a state of the SUPERNATURAL SPIRIT OF PRAYER due to the NEW CAPABILITY of the NEWLY REGENERATED SPIRIT of the NEW CREATURE, which enables the NEW CREATURE to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, a NEW CAPABILITY that is possessed ONLY by the NEWLY REGENERATED SPIRIT of the NEW CREATURE, and none other, for, as Spurgeon indicated above, this is ALL due to the SUPERNATURAL UNCTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF.

Friend, if the above is not YOUR EXPERIENCE -- mark it -- if the FOUR MARKS OF REGENERATION outlined heretofore are not YOUR EXPERIENCE -- if, when you claim you were born again, you were not INFUSED upon the MOMENT of your supposed regeneration with an OVERRIDING, ABSOLUTE, IRREVOCABLE, BILLOWING, INTENSELY VIBRANT, CASCADING AVALANCHE OF PULSATING CONSUMING LOVE for the MAN Christ Jesus, even the Jesus of the Bible, as opposed to a false Jesus, and if, when you claim you were born again, you were not INFUSED upon the MOMENT of your supposed new birth with an EXORBITANT JEALOUSY for the GLORY of Jesus Christ, and an EXORBITANT ZEAL for exalting the NAME of Jesus Christ, followed IMMEDIATELY by an EXTREME DESIRE AND LONGING TO OBEY JESUS CHRIST, and finally capped off with a SUPERNATURAL SPIRIT OF PRAYER -- indeed, if this is not YOUR EXPERIENCE -- then you have NEVER been indwelt by the Spirit of Christ, by the Holy Spirit, not even CLOSE, and thus you have no portion in Jesus Christ's kingdom. None. Not unless you repent and BEG Jesus Christ to indwell you and make you a NEW CREATURE, and KEEP BEGGING Jesus Christ until he HEARS from heaven and ANSWERS you. Until then, you have NO PORTION in Jesus Christ's kingdom. None. Wait and see.

Would you be born again? GENUINELY born again?

Then take wise counsel -- pick up a Bible based on the Traditional Text -- in English, the ONLY VALID Bible based on the Traditional Text is the King James Bible -- and then read with SOLEMNITY, beginning in the Gospels preferably, and beg Jesus Christ to reveal himself to you, and give him no rest until he does, for if you read the TRUE written Word of God, you will find the Lord of Glory, even Jesus Christ, moving upon the face of the waters in its pages, just as he moved upon the face of the waters when he walked across the Sea of Galilee, and if you follow the advice just given, and if you persist, Jesus Christ HIMSELF will verily MANIFEST HIMSELF to you (for he HIMSELF promises to do this for those who truly heed this advice), just as he MANIFESTED HIMSELF to his disciples when he moved upon the face of the waters as he walked across the stormy sea some two thousand years ago, and just as he did with ME not too many years ago, and just as he has done with a FEW others from day to day since that time, in this very generation, and just as he will do for YOU if -- IF -- you heed my advice, and if -- IF -- you persist therein, for he who promised is FAITHFUL. John 14:21, Matthew 14:25-27
