Lk. 5:8-11
Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Lk. 5 ... 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus 'knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.
And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.
When God reveals HIMSELF to us, everything changes immediately ... and HE is what matters after that.
Acts 9 ... 1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus:and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
We are exactly the same after God reveals HIMSELF to us ... we are changed immediately ... It is like the old man died and a new creature now lives in us and through us ...
This is what it is to be born again.
Only God can do this, create a new creature with a new spirit in him.
Jn. 3 ... Jesus said ... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
... Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
