Flashcast from The Threshing Floor - Randy Maugans: "Water Birthing"
A 5-15 minute blast of spiritual insight and sharing:
Babies born under water...the connection to the mother via umbilical cord delievers oxygen...water babies don't drown, their lungs are deflated. John 3:5 and a missing piece of information:
"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
Being born of the Spirit, which is the Mother, we are attached to the life force of God. As we remain attached, our new life force gives us the spiritual "oxygen"...water and spirit are ONE...it's a metaphor:
Water=wisdom, protection, peace, safety, nourishment, comfort (the Comforter)
Our first birth is through Mother Eve, the second is through Mother Spirit in the water of the spirit. If we disconnect, we then move in our own power and lose the protection and the wisdom, we become "lunch" for spiritual predators...the connection of the MOTHER is crucial in connecting to Yeshua and the Father.
When we are birthed in water, we also become "birthers"...male or female, we are moved into spiritual propagation---there is no male or female in the spirit:
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
The word for "belly" here is koilia, (koy-lee'-ah) - the abdomen; by implication, the matrix; figuratively, the heart:--belly, womb.
A meditation to reconnect...
