The New Life

 There is a tremendous difference between you the believer who has surrendered their life to Jesus Christ and received Jesus as their Lord and savior and religious or irreligious people. It is that you are now a new creation. Old things have now passed away and all things have become new. When you received Him, His Spirit came to live inside of you! The omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient Spirit of God now lives on the inside of you! In the old covenant their dealings with God was a visitational one where the Holy Spirit comes on them and departs. In this new covenant where you now stand in Christ, you are in a habitational culture, where the Spirit of God now inhabits you and Christ in you is now your hope of glory. 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! Verse 21: “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God”. Being this new creation means you are no longer the same. You were bought with a price, the shed blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ who died to make you His own. So, you no longer belong to yourself. The scripture above in 2 Corinthians 5:15 says “And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again”. That means you can no longer be ordinary. With Christ being in you and the Holy Spirit indwelling you, all of heaven is attracted to you and the glory of God is now very proximate to you. You must come to a cognitive understanding of this. You are now never on your own because there are now two people in that earth suit you know as your body. There is you and there is the one who said He will never leave you nor forsake you! You are an awesome creature. A majestic spirit indwelled by the Spirit of God, living in a body and with a soul through which you are supposed to operate in dominion empowered by God’s Holy Spirit on behalf of your creator on earth. You are a new chosen generation of people who did not exist before Christ rose again from the dead. You rose with Him. In fact, when a third of the angels defected with Satan, they left a gap in heaven. God knew this would happen so He already perfected His plans such that Satan and these fallen angels have now been replaced by a new, awesome race of creatures, who willingly receive the dominion from God through Jesus Christ their Lord and now exercise that authority over Satan and all his fallen angels. Do you now see who you are? If so, why are you struggling to operate in this authority and new life. It is because your heart, soul, mind and strength are not aligned with God the way it is required to be.
