The Kingdom Of Heaven is the Spirit Realm, which is a dimension of existence higher than that of the space-time continuum in which all physical life exists.
It is not possible for the purely physical to exist in the Spirit Realm. This is why we must be born of the Spirit.
Being Born Of Water means being born into humanity. Angels cannot experience the Kingdom Of Heaven in themselves as Born Again humans may Luk 17:21.
If there is any confusion about the birth by water being Water Baptism the next verse clears it up. He connects the water with the flesh.
Conformity is good when it is to the Word and the Holy Spirit. Otherwise it is evil.
In order for the New Spirit being to manifest in our flesh, we must be transformed in mind, emotions and will (our soul).
When we are transformed we receive the wisdom and power of the Lord to do the work of Christ Jesus in our mortal bodies.
What is the good and acceptable and perfect will of our Lord? ➛ It is that none perish 2Pe 3:9, ➛ it is that all be healed 1Pe 2:24, ➛ it is that all prosper 3Jn 1:2.
How is the Lord`s will proved? ➛ By the manifestation of evidence. What evidence? ➛ salvation, healing and prosperity.
Hence, the only thing holding us back from experiencing the best that the Lord has for us is our minds.
Let the Mind Of Christ be in you. - Phi 2:5
The mind is that part of a person which gains, stores and processes information. It is by default only affected by the 5 senses.
In the New Birth we receive a new, perfect spirit. This is Spirit Salvation.
But our mind still holds the same information, opinions and tendencies it did before we were Born Again.
In order to experience the benefits of Abundant Life our minds must be transformed, renewed so that the Mind Of Christ in our New Spirit takes over our mind.
The Word and the Holy Spirit are the ingredients which enable our minds to be transformed. But we must expose our minds to the Word and we must surrender our minds to the Holy Spirit in Prayer Language for this to happen.
To the extent we do this, our minds are renewed and we experience Soul Salvation.
Our minds will never be completely transformed in this life. We press toward the mark Phi 3:14. At the return of Christ the corruptible will put on incorruption and our Soul Salvation will be complete 1Co 15:50-54.
Jesus made it possible for us to be accepted by His Holy Spirit through His blood sacrifice Eph 1:6. Once cleansed He made it possible for us to receive His Holy Spirit Luk 24:49. The Holy Spirit of Christ is who raised Christ Jesus from the dead Rom 8:11. He told us that greater deeds would we do as a result of receiving that gift Joh 14:12.
But, in order for us to realize our potential we must `realize our potential` 1Jn 3:2. As we think in our hearts so are we Pro 23:7. For me or you to reach our potential in Christ we must believe what He said about us to the extent that we allow it to transform our thoughts, words and deeds Rom 12:2.
The Mind Of Christ is achieved by knowingly and willingly being transformed by the Word and Holy Spirit Phi 2:5. We must desire to have the Mind Of Christ and we must feed on what He fed on to arrive at the same place He did Mat 5:6.
Jesus said the Kingdom Of Heaven is at hand when He walked the earth Mat 4:17. In the Word and Holy Spirit we can manifest heaven on earth Mat 12:28. It is His will but is it yours? Eph 3:20
