About this ebook
Many people fail to accomplish that, which the Lord had installed for their lives. Their process of the journey was hindered, which stopped them from entering into Their Promised lands.
When we come into the world biologically, we have everything we need for adulthood, we just need to learn to grow into it.
The same is for the Spiritual Growth, which we must develop ourselves.
Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
But let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing- James 1:3-4
Kathleen Anne
I was saved by the Lord at the age of thirty eight and have given myself to God and his works. He used me as a vessel to complete this book and gave me the strength to work through it. He has provided the finances for this book to be published and allowed me to share his messages with everyone. The Lord has been good to me as I have been obedient to his requests. There has been hard times during my life and many times I have wanted to give up. But I have learnt through the grace and mercy of God to trust in him and he will be fruitful. He has taught me to love, to be forgiving and to bear fruit. As long as I continue my relationship with God and walk in love daily he will always be there with his hand upon me. He will look after me and provide for my needs. He will help me overcome any trials and tribulations that may await me. He will love me unconditionally and forgive me when I make mistakes. He is the one who saved me, the one who cares for me, and the one who knew me in my mother’s womb. He was there at my physical birth, again at my spiritual birth and has given me supernatural birthing’s to allow me to be the woman I have become today. AMEN

About The Author
DEDICATION
This book is a dedication to everyone who has come and gone in my life. The people I have encountered who have led me to be able to write this book and minister with it.
This book is also dedicated to the Holy Spirit, who leads and guides me and who always teaches me how to grow spiritually and how to dwell in the presence of God Almighty.
INTRODUCTION
The Birth Of The Physical, To The Spiritual, To The Supernatural
Let me start by saying it is the Holy Spirit that urged me to write this book. He revealed three distinctive channels that he brought me through to allow me to reach my current level of spiritual maturity.
The first is our natural birth through our biological parents. The second is our spiritual birth when we are born again. The third is into the supernatural.
As God commands us to fill the earth and to multiply physically, so we too have a spiritual obligation to multiply our spiritual family. This means not only to birth new converts into the Kingdom of God but to raise them to a level of spiritual maturity.
I will share with you about these three births—physical, spiritual and supernatural. It is vital for everyone to undergo these three births, so that they can grow spiritually and be mature in the service of the Lord.
The births are about how we grow spiritually to walk in maturity in our callings, exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit. My spiritual state of maturity today is due to my relationship and walk with the Lord and the challenges I have had to experience and the lessons I have learned.
I am however still growing into his image, as he continues to reveal his greater plan and purpose for my life.
ROM 11:36 ³⁶ For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen
The purpose of life is to discover God’s plan and to glorify him by fulfilling that plan by walking in holy reverence, faithfulness and obedience.
MATTHEW 25:21 ²¹ His Lord said to him ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord’
Life makes little sense without knowing the will of God and understanding exactly where you fit into his eternal purpose.
The Bible often compares the church to the human body. It says:
1 CORINTHIANS 12:12-28 ¹² for as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. ¹³For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves of free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. ¹⁴ For in fact the body is not one member but many. ¹⁵ if the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body’, is it therefore not of the body? ¹⁶ and if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body’, is it therefore not of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? ¹⁸ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. ¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where would the body be? ²⁰ But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no need of you’, nor again the head to the feet, ‘I have no need of you’. ²²No much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. ²³ And those members of the body which we think to be less honourable, on these we bestow greater honour, and our unpreventable parts have greater modesty. ²⁴ but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honour to part which lacks it. ²⁵ that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. ²⁶ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it: or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it. ²⁷ now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. ²⁸ And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
We are born into this world through the physical unto our physical parents, then we are birthed unto the spiritual parents, then we are birthed in anointing unto the Supernatural. The third birth is only made possible by our Father in Heaven.
The Heavenly Father was with us at the beginning of our physical birth, and he longs for us to grow into our spiritual destinations according to his will and purpose.
As you read this book, bear witness to the way that the Lord has led me through the seasons of my life. You will then understand how I have learned and experienced the three birthing stages of the physical, the spiritual, and then the supernatural.
As we go through the process of the three births, we will walk in the fullness of God by being established in the Lord’s vineyard to produced spiritual fruits in the Kingdom of God. This paves the way for us to enter our promised lands.
We are a spiritual being in a physical body, but like everything in the physical realm, it is all about growth. After all, we go through the natural process of being a baby, then maturing unto childhood, and then we enter the teenager stage before becoming an adult.
Throughout this entire process we must learn to crawl, then walk and then run.
You cannot have a baby becoming an adult before they become a child first, as the growth will not be complete. You will then have a case of underdevelopment! It is the same with our spiritual walk—we cannot be a baby in the Lord and want to walk in the supernatural. To be a spiritual baby means not yet operating in the fruits of the Spirit and walking in the integrity of the Lord.
A spiritual baby will not be able to contain the glory of the Lord and does not understand how to handle the anointing. We must go through the birth channels and that is not always easy, as growing up is painful. The cords have to be cut and when something has to be cut it is painful.
When a baby comes into the world, the umbilical cord is cut from the mother. Now, this baby that has been in the mother’s womb—being formed, moulded, protected, comforted, secure in warmth—is now exposed to a world of which this baby has no previous experience. If that baby is not set free, there can be serious complications.
So when that cord is cut that baby cries, the pain of its life has already begun. The baby now becomes reliant on the mother and father for they are the only ones the baby will be able to cling to and to trust, as they will be the ones to provide and protect the child.
As they grow up, they will experience many hurts, deal with problems, all the while trusting the ones that they have been entrusted to. But when these ‘protectors’ and ‘providers’ hurt them, they can become confused because they should be nurtured and not subjected to cruelty.
As they mature, with the people in their lives still hurting and not treating them correct, their hearts become hardened as they deal with the pain. Their emotional, mental and spiritual growth can thus be hindered as they develop within a hostile environment instead of being in a loving one. We cannot change our parents, but there are consequences to such a hostile environment, since hurting people will hurt others. There are no proper guidelines on how to become a parent when moving outside God’s word.
Sadly there are many parents who are dealing with issues
