1. YOUR NEW CREATION IS THE FOUNDATION Beloved saint of God, The foundation of life of the Kingdom of God in you is the new creation. The strengthening of the new creation in you will lead you into the victory over sin. The new creation will receive the form, character and anointing of Jesus. The new creation will inherit the Kingdom of heaven and all the blessings and riches of God etc. The walk of faith takes followings steps: 1) You need to receive teaching in the reality of the new creation. It will impart to you visions and revelations of the salvation into which Jesus has called you. The revelation of God will lead you into the supernatural transformation, where the mercy and power of God takes you into victory. 2) You are called to stand up as the new creation and to overcome your old corrupt identity. You can either bury it fast and quietly - as criminals are buried - or spend long periods mourning, when the Word of God and the Holy Spirit is putting down your old man. Your goal is clear: the new creation must stand up and start to rule over your soul and flesh. 3) You are called to teach and to deliver others into the life of the new creation. You can give others only what you have received for yourself. If you are uncertain, you sow uncertainty. If you live in the power and assurance of faith, you can strengthen and stir up other. You are called to fight in the heavenly army and to overcome with Jesus. 4) For your growth you will need an active fellowship, where you are supported as a spiritual person and where the life style of the new creation is cultivated. A company always changes members into its likeness. Therefore get rid of deadly religious habits and ungodly connections. Choose life instead! The doctrine of the new creation is the doctrine of Jesus. It
is the teaching of the apostles and the foundation of the church.
This teaching has the true instruction, plan and direction from
the Word of God for your life. Quit speculating in unbelief and
renounce from carnal compromises in your life. As long as you
have any sympathies for sin in your soul, you cannot overcome.
But as soon as a holy anger towards sin and wickedness wakes
up in your heart, you are on the threshold of the victory. Just
throw yourself into the fire of the Holy Spirit and let Him burn
all the remains of sin from your soul! New life in Jesus and
the power of the Holy Spirit is waiting for you! Eph 1:3-7: Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ: even AS HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH BEFORE HIM IN LOVE: HAVING FOREORDAINED US UNTO ADOPTION AS SONS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST UNTO HIMSELF, ACCORDING TO THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS WILL, to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace... God has authorised your new creation to rule and supervise your life. When you got born again He gave you power, right, ability and competence to become a child of God. All the potential of Jesus is hidden in you by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus manifests himself through your new creation. Let His character and the presence of His Spirit fill your whole personality! Your new creation is born from the Spirit and is your real inner man - in other words it is your true identity. You are born from Heaven, you get your strength and growth from Above and your goal is the Heaven. You will live by the power of the Spirit, you will hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and you will be united with Him. The key for spiritual growth and anointing is: 1) receive the Word of God, 2) be filled with the Holy Spirit and 3) focus yourself into the Kingdom of God. Do not let natural and carnal things rule in your life. A believer who lives carnal life is depressed, because his spirit – his true inner man - is not getting enough nourishment from the Spirit and the Word. You will grow and become stronger when you daily study God's Word and have fellowship with the Holy Spirit, praying and worshipping God. The new creation has enormous thirst and potential to grow. 1 Pet 2:1-5: Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that YE MAY GROW THEREBY UNTO SALVATION; if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious: unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious, YE ALSO, AS LIVING STONES, ARE BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. The new birth is a supernatural event. You can not understand it by reasoning. Outwardly you are living as a natural person but inwardly you are a supernatural being. Father God Himself has given into you His heavenly seed, which has a godly essence and character. This justifies you to have this name - a child of God. This supernatural reality dwells in you because of the new birth. The Father God Himself has verified this in His Word. Receive this truth and His enormous mercy for you as His son/daughter in full confidence of faith – in humility and gratitude! 3. YOUR NEW CREATION WILL TAKE THE LEAD IN YOUR LIFE In falling to sin man rejected the tree of life and chose the tree of knowledge of good and evil to be the source of his life. It led him into separation from God and His plan. The glory of the Holy Spirit departed from the man, his spirit and soul got into captivity under the slavery of sin and darkness. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit was broken and the man was left to live in the capacity of his natural power and understanding. Without the salvation in Jesus the man was sentenced to eternal death. In Genesis we are told that God created man from the dust of
the earth and breathed into him the spirit of life. That's why
man is an immortal soul. The New Testament speaks about another
creation which is the birth of a new creation. This will happen
in those who receive Jesus as their Saviour. This means much
more than restoring the old creation. The new creation is a seed
of God, which grows by the power of the Word and Spirit of God. 1 John 5:18-21: We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not. We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. [My] little children, guard yourselves from idols. The new creation in you is the winner of sin and darkness. This brings a new kind of leadership in you. Your natural senses were ruling you, when you were living in the power of your natural man. Your spirit was powerless to lead, because of the slavery to sin. In the new birth 'a new strong spirit' was born in you. This new spirit desires to grow towards the glory of God and join eternally with the Father God in heaven. Realize that you are a new creation. Meditate this daily and recognise in yourself the inner spirit where Jesus dwells. Learn to know the difference between your soul and spirit. You will get the plan and purpose of your life from Jesus through your spirit. Your natural understanding and thought life must yield to serve these purposes. Learn to discern whether your thoughts are coming from your natural mind or from God through your spirit giving you true revelation and direction. Choose to live a life under the leadership of your spirit. You are able and you must subdue your natural understanding and mind into obedience to your spirit. Do not dispute with your reasoning, just decide, that your mind must serve goals and purposes of your spirit. Learn to live according to the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, although your mind would not understand at all! Your spirit is the receiver of the revelation from God. You are able to understand the voice of the Father God, because in the family you have a common language! The Kingdom of God is too large for your natural mind to apprehend. We can understand it only in our spirit - by faith. Our understanding can pick up only fragments from the revelation of God. Perfect recording takes place in our spirit. Rom 6:5-14: For if we have become united with [him] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of his resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; for he that hath died is justified from sin. But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him. For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: neither present your members unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace. 4. TRANSFORMATION OF YOUR PERSNONALITY When you accepted Jesus as your Saviour God give birth to a new creation in you. At the same time your old man became condemned and removed from its office. Power of God is performing this in you - but only with your cooperation. Your responsibility is to actively function in order to remove the old things and to receive the new things. You need to direct your life towards the kingdom of God and reject your old sinful lifestyle. 2 Cor 5:16-17: Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more. Therefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. Paul knew something about Jesus also as a normal person, but he did not get to know Him because he did not receive Him as a Messiah. When Jesus manifested Himself to Paul on the way to Damascus as the King of the Glory, he surrendered and received Him into his heart. Paul learned to know Jesus by the revelation of the Spirit. He received the Good News and the fundamental teaching of the church directly through the Holy Spirit! A rational and reasoning man became a child of God, who started to live and to minister in the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Each born again person is like this. You will know Jesus according to the revelation of the Holy Spirit, because Jesus is a spiritual Person. Your new creation is also spiritual and your natural personality shall not anymore limit you. You are a heavenly person! Therefore you will know yourself and other children of God according to the spirit. You will see through the eyes of the spirit. You will speak plans of the Holy Spirit for yourself and for your neighbours as new creations. Rom 8:5-10: For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. The new creation in you is the winner of sin. By faith you have already been seated in the heavenly places together with Jesus. Proclaim destruction to your old man and strengthen your new creation! Your old man has no future anymore! Your new creation will rise up and rule over your life. Embrace this enormous truth of the Word of God IN FAITH, DOUBTING NOTHING AT ALL and it will happen to you. Live as a new creation, because THROUGH JESUS YOU HAVE GOT THE POWER TO BECOME A CHILD OF GOD! Rom 12:1-2: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your spiritual service. And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. In this passage of the Bible there is a small inaccuracy. The original text doesn't speak merely about renewal of THE MIND but from THE RENEWING OF THE WHOLE PERSONALITY. That's why this request should read this way: "…BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR PERSONALITY, BY STUDYING AND LEARNING WHICH IS THE GOOD, ACCEPTABLE AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD…" When you will find what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God you will face a great challenge of a real change of your life. God's power is provided for you to perform this. He speaks new things into your life. He comes and changes you and your conditions. When you in faith seize upon those truths which God says that you are or have, you are giving Him the way to touch and to change you. He will make it with His great power and mercy. He will change you into the likeness of Jesus, once you are thirsty for it! 5. PRESS ON UNTO PERFECTION! Heb 6:1: Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, LET US PRESS ON UNTO PERFECTION… Carnal religion resists the reality of the Holy Spirit. That's why many believers say, that it is impossible for a man to become perfect. But the Word of God urges us TO GROW INTO LIKENESS OF JESUS, who IS PERFECT INDEED. That's why the old man and it's way of thinking are due to become completely destroyed. THE SEED OF PERFECTION IS HIDDEN INTO THE NEW CREATION. God is bringing up this seed in you by His Word and the renewing power of His Holy Spirit. The reality of Jesus will be formed in your inward man and will reign in you! God has commanded you to be holy and upright before Him. He has appointed you to be His child. You are destined to receive all that transformation, which make all this happen. You can not reach perfection in your capacity but God Himself has decided to give it to you! Just in faith accept THIS POSITION AND GOAL. Rejoice from the enormous mercy of God, which will take you there. Paul proves these orders and choices of God many times. When you receive the truth, God will cause it to happen to you. He does things, which are impossible for men. Your task is to receive and believe the Word! The calling of God will drain your own power, your own possibilities and your own attempts out from you. Yield unto Him and let His transformation power touch you. Your new creation grows increasingly and supernaturally towards the likeness of Jesus and His perfection. Phil 3:12-15: Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. LET US THEREFORE, AS MANY AS ARE PERFECT, BE THUS MINDED: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you... We reach the perfection of the kingdom of God by leaving behind our old life in repentance. Be faith we continually step forward in new things and receive increasing glory. The blood of Jesus covers our former life. Neither other people nor the accuser has any power to bind us in the past. Perfection has not yet manifested in us but we are truly commanded to go through the transformation process which results that WE WILL ACHIEVE THE PERFECTION IN JESUS. 6. DELIVERANCE OF THE NEW CREATION The good news of the salvation in Jesus can reach any man in any condition of the slavery of sin. Any man can give his heart to Jesus after hearing the Word of God. The Gospel has such an enormous power. The heart needs only to hear and receive the Word. The man from Gadara ran to Jesus and worshipped Him even though there was a legion of demons in him. The demon possessed man surrendered to Jesus and thereafter He commanded the evil spirits to loose this man and he became completely sane. The evil spirits can for a long time keep the new creation in captivity through the flesh, although the person is a believer. This can happen if the believer is ignorant concerning the new creation in him and lives unholy life. True repentance will cause evil spirits to lose their power. But in order to get completely free a believer may also need ministry of deliverance from an anointed servant of God. Demons are strong spirits which are able to resist the kingdom of God and the life of a new creation. Some demons can control the soul of a person by evil thoughts and wounded feelings, and other demons can enslave the body of a person with illnesses and diseases. That’s why one of the first tasks in the ministry of preaching Good News is to cast out demons. After a person has received perfect forgiveness and atonement to his own life from Jesus, he needs to forgive all who have hurt him. Then demons lose their weapons and they can be cast out. The most difficult demons to overcome are those who are connected with family curses, because children absorb such yokes 'into blood'. The personality may become deeply spoiled because of wicked models of the family. Profound deliverances require always deep renewal and changes of thought life and the habits of life. God's Word and the Holy Ghost will make this to happen. Heb 4:12: For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. The new creation is not a slave to illness or to evil spirits - he/she is own by Jesus. Demons and spirits of sickness are able to oppress the old man and the body of a person. But because you are truly a new creation, YOU CAN STAND UP IN THE ASSURANCE OF FAITH AND IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT to resist all oppression against your mind and body. AS A NEW CREATION YOU ARE ABLE to resist the devil and it will flee from you. You must reject the thoughts that say you are bound with sickness. Your new creation is free from sickness although your body may be sick. Get strengthened as a pure, healthy and strong new creation and take the authority over the sicknesses in your body. Jesus has forgiven all your sins. You are redeemed from sin, sickness, death and all power of darkness in the name of Jesus and through His blood. Command the demons of sickness to leave your body and mind. 2 Cor 10:3-6: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full. Paul says here, that he is ready to deliver the Corinthians from all power of demons, if they only WOULD COMPLETELY SURRENDER THEMSELVES UNTO JESUS. Demons live in the wounds of rejection, deceit, pride, bitterness
and other wickedness and terrorize life of a person unless they
are cast out. You can act in front of God as an intercessor on
behalf of your family and confess certain sins and wicked practices
of the family line and your own life. Ask forgiveness and cleansing
from God. This action will bring judgement over the demons and
they can be cast out. Then you can invite the Holy Spirit to
fill the life of yourself and your family line. This is how the
new creation will become free to grow into God's plan. Is 61:1-3: The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; HE HATH SENT ME TO BIND UP THE BROKEN-HEARTED, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound; to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified. 7. THE AUTHORITY OF THE NEW CREATION The new creation lives and rules together with Jesus. Therefore
the new creation must lead and reign in the believer's life.
The believer has authority over the powers of darkness in order
to take this position and to lead other believers into this.
The Holy Spirit will confirm with signs and wonders everything
that believer acts in faith and in Jesus - as a new creation
and in obedience. Life in the supernatural presence of God is
normal for the new creation. You are called to perform miracles
and great things with Jesus and to witness His healing power
all the time and everywhere. Rom 8:9-11: But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Mental powers shall not any more have dominion over you, but
instead the inner man - new creation - must rule over your life.
You are the new creation and God has called you to rule over
your life together with Jesus. You are a citizen of the kingdom
of God and YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE AUTHORISATION TO BIND AND
TRAMP OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY. Jesus gave this authorization
for his disciples already before they were even born again or
become filled with the Holy Spirit. In this way Jesus demonstrated
the lordship of the kingdom of God over the powers of darkness.
YOU HAVE THIS AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF JESUS - it means when
you are with Him, in His plan and will. 8. DAILY STRENGTHENING OF THE NEW CREATION Your spiritual man grows and works daily. You need good and nourishing food every day in order to stay in health and to grow towards the glory. The real source of your power is God's Word, praise, worship and prayer life in the intimacy with the Lord. You can participate in the meetings which are anointed by the Holy Spirit, but your real growth and equipping takes place in the confidential and intimate receiving and fellowship with the Lord. Take time to stay in silence with the Lord. Do not let urgency, pressures or fears to steal the life of the kingdom of God from you. Straighten out your perverted time schedule so, that you can begin your day with the Lord. Take daily time for peaceful moments in order to meditate the Word and to communicate with Jesus. This kind of exercise is the true meat and drink for the new creation. This is how you will eat the Bread of Life that will lead you forward in the kingdom of God. Jesus doesn't ask you to serve over your capacity. You need the spirit of wisdom and understanding to discern between the demand of your natural mind and the call from the Holy Spirit. Do everything rejoicing and as to the Master! 2 Pet 1:3-11: seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust. Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge; and in [your] knowledge self-control; and in [your] self-control patience; and in [your] patience godliness; and in [your] godliness brotherly kindness; and in [your] brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. WHEREFORE, BRETHREN, GIVE THE MORE DILIGENCE TO MAKE YOUR CALLING AND ELECTION SURE: FOR IF YE DO THESE THINGS, YE SHALL NEVER STUMBLE: for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Prayer of taking a position of the new creation: With love in Jesus Christ  |
