The Remnant Awakens - What Does It Really Mean to Be Born Again? Christianity’s Lie vs Covenant Truth

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

shalom family. I'm your brother Pierre Lidji and welcome to another episode of The Remnant Awakens where we don’t really do surface-level, you know? We hunt for the roots, for the truth—the real deal backed with history and scripture. If you’ve been tracking with me, you already know i've tore through bloodlines, the Nations after the flood, the whole story of Shem, Ham and Yapheth. and many more episodes to name it here. But, see, it all counts when you’re waking up to your true identity, right? Today, I want to talk about something everybody throws around like candy at a festival—this phrase: “Born again.” I mean, what does it actually mean? Not what the church or christianity told you, not what you saw on TV, but the raw original source. i'm peeling that back today. Stick with me!

Alright, so let’s go right back to the source. Where did this whole “born again” thing even come from? You hear it, like, everywhere in the so-called Christian world. But—this is funny—most folks couldn’t even point to the verse or the person who said it first. Spoiler alert: It's in the book of Yochanan—John. Yahusha is having a conversation with a Pharisee named Nicodemus, right? Late at night, ‘cause, you know, Nicodemus ain't tryna risk his reputation. Yahusha says to him, “Unless a man is born again, he can’t even see the kingdom.” Now here’s my thing: Yahusha ain’t talking about just saying a quick prayer and then boom!—you are born again or just feeling emotional while singing in church. Nah. family, if we just stuck with what was actually being said instead of what everybody just repeats, people will be a lot closer to the truth. Where was I going with this? Oh, right—the real origin. It's literally a Hebrew concept, not some brand-new, modern, Western slogan. Let’s dig more.

So, how did we get from what Yahusha said—real, literal explanation—to what you hear in mainstream Christianity today? I mean, somehow “born again” turned into this, like, checkbox for getting into heaven. Almost like a club pass. Let me say this with love, ‘cause I know folks might get tight, but I gotta keep it real: Religion, especially church traditions, has redefined this thing, twisted it to mean, “Hey, just say this prayer, repeat these words, and poof—you’re in.” Honestly, sometimes I wanna laugh and cry at the same time on that one. The truth is, Christianity made it more about feeling good, emotionally high, or even a label, right? “I’m born again” or "i've been born again and saved since 1938" they say, but their life don’t even change. There’s no transformation, just, you know, showing up on Sunday wearing the badge. Where is the substance, though? Where’s the obedience? As we talked about in that episode on the Torah and “Mystery of Iniquity,” this twisting—it’s a pattern. History keeps repeating. family, deception’s a slippery thing, for real.

Now, let’s talk about what “born again” really means. Like, actually. It’s not some magic words or church pew gymnastics, nah. It's deeper. It’s about dying to that old you—the one chasing your own way, ignoring what the Most High says, living lawless (torahless), caught in rebellion. Like, the real you, before you got confronted by the truth. Scripture calls it the flesh. And I always mix this up—is it Romans chapter 6 or chapter 7 where Sha'ul goes in, “I die daily?” Don’t quote me exactly, but the point stands: The only way, family, to be born again is to let that old nonsense fall off. You putting your rebellion, your pride, your “I do what I want” mindset to death, and letting Yahusha—the Mashiach—raise you up brand new. Not just new paint, but a new actual heart, a mind that lines up with Torah, with covenant, with what Yahuah designed us to be since the beginning. That’s, like, the whole point. If transformation isn’t happening, you’re just rebranding—not reborn. Simple as that!

And look, Yahusha didn’t come to start some new religions (rome the mother, christianity and her siblings. rome's daugthers). I gotta say it 'cause, like, so many people got this mixed up! He said—clear as day—He came to renew, or “restore,” the covenant that our ancestors broke. That’s Jeremiah chapter 31 verse 31, and Hebrews talks about it too. The “new” covenant isn’t a brand new thing that chops off the old. It’s the same agreement, just rewritten on our hearts this time, not on cold stone. It’s for the same people, the house of Yashar’el and Yahudah (the natural branch), and the wild branch (the grafted in believers) Y’all remember, in a previous episode, we broke down how the Bible was for and to the Hebrews, and the nations are grafted in—not replacing the natural branch. It’s wild cause so many pastors and mega churches preach like Yahusha came in to erase all that, but Yahusha Himself said, “I didn’t come to destroy the Law (torah) or the prophets, but to fulfill (to live it out perfectly or to complete fully).” The real new birth? It’s stepping into that restored covenant, agreeing to actually walk it out, obeying, loving, and trusting Yahuah—just like He always wanted.

Alright, I gotta go here—there’s a counterfeit version out there, and you gotta watch out for it. I know—people gonna say, “Pierre, you’re always calling out deception!” Listen, if I don’t, who will? Much of what you see called “born again” today in churches? It’s really just emotional hype. If we’re honest, a lot of folks—sorry, but it’s true—think feeling sorry at the altar, maybe shedding a few tears or saying a quick prayer, means they’re reborn. But where’s the repentance—the turning away from sin, from lawlessness (torahlessness)? Like, if nothing changes, family, nothing changes. That’s emotionalism, not covenant. You get stirred up, but you don’t step out. Remember, hasatan the adversary don’t mind you feeling spiritual, as long as you stay powerless, torahless and fruitless. That’s why the real remnant, the ones actually waking up, ain’t satisfied with just rituals or empty church speak. We want the real restoration, the stuff Yahusha paid for—not the cheap counterfeit.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

Let me wrap it up here, family—if you get anything from today, let it be this: To be born again is to be restored. Restored back to Yahuah through Yahusha, restored to real covenant, real obedience, real relationship. Not just saying a phrase, not going through some ritual, not checking off a religious box. It’s that deep, total transformation that flips your whole existence inside out—heart, mind, all of it. So, if you’re really tryna be part of the remnant waking up in these last days, chase that. Seek that. Don’t settle for less.
