WILLINGNESS TO BECOME
THE NEW CREATION
Brother James, OIC
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
What keeps many that are called of God from entering fully into this new life and truly becoming the New Creation? I believe its looking back to the things that are familiar, things that are a comfort to the flesh and a lack of commitment to pressing forward to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
The New Creation must live “in today“, in Christ in you, old things are passed away (keep them buried) all things are become new (new attitude, new direction, new motive). The new Creation is controlled by Christ, Gods anointing abiding within. That Anointing which is Christ in you is full of Gods Wisdom, Power and Glory.
There is no mediocre place for a New Creation, a New Creation is never lukewarm. A New Creation continuously goes about the Fathers business. The New Creation walks in the Light of Truth having been crucified with Christ. The New Creation is the same miraculous birth as that of Jesus, as Gods Spirit creates the new life within and causes the New Creation to love others as Christ loved them. Today is CHRISTmas Eve and many that are called have been on the verge of that birthing in their own lives on the eve of walking fully in the Life & Victory that comes when their flesh is fully crucified with Christ. The New Creation does not resemble the world nor values what it values.
Many that are self appointed leaders in the Church today walk in a intellect of scripture and have been trained to infiltrate the worlds views subtly into the Gospel thus never bringing anyone to the Light of Truth nor into the Kingdom of God. Look with me at some scriptures that never fit into their worldview.
1Jn 2:15-18 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Mat 19:28-30 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
To become a New Creation means you have followed Jesus into the Regeneration, now not later and are seated in heavenly places in Christ.
Eph 2:1-7 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Are you willing to become the New Creation?
