Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

We have been talking about learning the language of faith and I have pointed out that only this new heart can receive the words of faith, so it is vital that you obtain this new heart. Without it you cannot receive the word of faith. How do we receive this change of heart?

John 3:3 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.

The born again are born with this new heart. Nicodemus’ response is the natural quest we all must seek.

John3:4 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?

Jesus answered as plainly as He had to with Nicodemus who was very familiar with the Old Testament scriptures, prophecies and instructions. For most of us, the answer still holds some mystery.

John 3:5-6 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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

In order to understand more clearly, we must return once again to the parable of the sower where those first words of faith were spoken. The gospel of faith was planted into the prepared heart.

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

It all begins with the heart that is prepared to receive.
