Picking up where we left of yesterday: The King and the counselor love the born again in the same way, knowing we are helpless to help ourselves in this new life. How can they do that for a babe in Christ that is of an age and experience in the world with conceptions based on a world ruled by the prince of the power of the air, Satan?

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Satan’s realm is fear based. To contrast the world we lived in with the Kingdom of God, fear is replaced with love, mercy, grace and peace. We see these words uttered over and over again by Jesus to His disciples, “Fear not, it is I.”

Since the King and the counselor are new residents within our hearts, every care is taken not to frighten us. He loves us and wants a close personal relationship. The King and the counselor will know how to talk to us so that fear is avoided. We are all different in experience and we cannot expect the King and the counselor to approach all of us in the same manner. What they do is best described as loving us into submission.

The work of getting to know the indwelling King is the responsibility of our counselor, the Holy Spirit. All this is performed on a spiritual level and done with these new eyes and ears. Spiritual eyes and ears are not of this world.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

When we are born of water, we do not see clearly at first. We have not yet learned to focus. We hear the sounds of our parent’s voices but understanding of the language comes with time. We learn the language of our parents. Why do we think that being born again should be any different?
