Born Again of Imperishable Seed
Peter and John both use the words and idea that we are born again, not of corruptible seed (physical), but of God’s incorruptible seed (physical & spiritual). At 60-Fold status, a follower of Jesus has a seed, from the body of Jesus, implanted into his/her heart.
Orthodoxy teaches us that once you are “born again”, your ticket is punched to spend eternity in heaven, after you die.
There is so much wrong about that statement that it makes me shutter!!!
First of all, Jesus did NOT teach “going to heaven or hell”.
Instead He taught us that there are 3 results of hearing His words: 30, 60 or 100 fold resulting yield.
Listen to the words of Peter, John, and James, in their epistles.
But first, before discussion of the seed, let’s look at the fundamentals for growth in the first place. We know we need these three ingredients: 1). Nutritious soil. 2). Water. 3). Light.
Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus gives living water. Now the wild card is the soil, which happens to be YOUR HEART.
Peter
1 Peter 1:23-24 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For,
“All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord endures forever.”
And this is the word that was preached to you.
John
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.
1 John 4:4 Greater is He who is in you…
James
1:18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
So what does this mean? Jesus told us exactly what was going to happen.
John 16:14 He (The Holy Spirit) will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
On the glorious day, the day you become officially “Born Again”, upon your arrival into the 60 fold status, one of the glorified life seeds from the body of Jesus is picked up by the Holy Spirit, directly from Jesus. He then personally brings it to you, and implants it, somehow, somewhere into the soul garment. On this day, you receive the enablement to fulfill the potential within that seed. You now have the full enablement of the Lord Jesus Himself.
Now it’s up to you what you are going to do with the precious cargo that you have been entrusted with.
Jesus
Matthew 5:15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. Are you putting His seed under a bowl, or exercising and growing it daily?
Matthew 25:24-32 Finally, the servant who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what belongs to you.’ ‘You wicked, lazy servant!’ replied his master. ‘You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed. Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received it back with interest. Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance.” The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.
Are you hiding the “talent” of His seed? Or are you gaining a yield with it so that He may be please with your progress?
John 10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father. Jesus voluntarily laid out His hands and feet so men could poke holes in His skin and drain His blood out. Here is the reason He HAD TO do it this way: John 12:24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. He had to die to make His seed available to ALL MANKIND.
John 12:24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
Pruning Branches
We see from this parable of the mustard seed, He specifically mentions “the birds come and perch in it’s branches”. His seed, implanted in your heart, when growing will provide more “branch space” for more “birds” or Godly / correct thinking. Once one of these birds/Godly inclinations have matured, then it is time for you to be “pruned” – but not until mature:
Every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. John 15.:2
What Does His Seed Grow Up, In Us, To Become?
The male seed from your physical dad, is currently being utilized as your brain and spinal column. Once the seed of Jesus is placed in your heart, it CAN begin, if given the right conditions, a procedure where if all of the male seed is saved, then it can be LIFTED UP and transformed into IMPERISHABLE. Then, the now imperishable seed is lifted up further to slowly REPLACE the perishable seed from the physical fathers seed (physical brain and spine), with your own, now imperishable seed. Once this is complete, you will truly have “the mind of Christ”. This is my version of “Replacement Theology”.
Is it possible that His implanted seed in your heart can grow up to replace the physical seed that came from your earthly, physical father? When we cry out to Jesus “you must become greater and I must become less”, I wonder if there is an actual transmutation of some sort that goes on in our physical body, as well as our soul body/garment or spiritual composition. This sounds like the perfect wrap for a Firstfruits Bride of Christ – to be transformed completely – mind, body and soul into His perfect mate.
The Firstfruits group are referred to as “virgins” (Revelation 14:1-5). This is not the correct word here. The better translation here is either “celebates” or “chaste“. This means that these men are saving their seed on purpose. I am wondering about the mixing, or lifting of the male seed, with the semi-physical seed of Jesus. This combination of the Will and the Potential is simply Undefeatable.
It is as if He will crochet a new you, using the yarn of His imperishable seed, mixed with your saved and lifted seed. I am not sure if this is a physical new you, or a soul structure or some sort – or both? I only know how exciting it is to feel His seed grow inside of me daily.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them. Isaiah 42:9
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:19
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Cor 5:17
Then, the growing seed of Jesus in your heart helps nurture the Spirit of Holiness. This is the second part of the Holy Trinity that is available in your heart right now.
Strengthen the foundations of your mind, by giving into The Lord of your heart – the Father of the spirit blazing in your chest.
Orthodoxy treats you like you are a complete moron!! “They tell you to just say the sinners prayer and viola! You are SAVED and going to heaven – the Kingdom of God – forever and ever, after you die.”
Continue coming towards Him and you too will be awarded the greatest possession possible, on this earth, an imperishable seed from Jesus’ body.

Your last comment prompts me to give you this analogy:
Look at the solar system, both in pictures and diagrammatic representations…
You have the Sun, several planets, moons, etc… all circumambulating, orbiting, vibrating, and travelling around the center…
Now look at an atom… Ahhh…. Hmmm… …. We have a nucleus, proton, electron, neutron, codons, anti-codons etc, etc, all doing the same thing …
Now, look at a the earth the same way. We have a semi-permeable crust, several layers of solid and liquid substances, tectonic plates, etc.; and a thermonuclear core..
Lets compare a blood cell… Semipermeable membrane, cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus…
There are MANY such interesting AND REVEALING comparisons….
How very indicative it is, indeed, that the smallest things we can see reflect the biggest things we can see…. Yea, the ancient maxim: “AS ABOVE SO BELOW.” And oh how Physics and biology so prove and substantiate this eh!?!?!?
Now add your DIVINE SEED and human spinal column & skull analogy, and we have incorporated exalted religion and philosophy to the whole! Very good… You know, in many ancient esoteric/philosophical texts the spine and head are referred to as The Path and The Wise Man’s Temple… Of course you’re familiar with the Yogic connections here no doubt… Well, in any event, it is soooooooooo important to the attainment of universal consciousness that this is realized! The superior reflected in the inferior; the divine reflected in the mundane; the God reflected in the man… Ad infinitum…
Have you ever heard the “from mineral to man; from man to God” analogy??? It starts with this axiom: “I died an atom and was born a mineral; I died a stone and became a plant; I died a plant and became an animal; I died an animal and became a man; I died a man became immortal; In transcendence of death I become … …” But there is much more to it… Though I’m sure you get the tenor… However, this is not an exegesis of evolution!!! Not at all, it has more to do with, of course, Karma and reincarnation. The higher teaching along these lines demonstrate that earth IS NOT the only place we, and others, can incarnate…
