You Must Seize This One Reality!


"You are a new creation."


Trite? 

It shouldn't be. It cannot be!

You are not the person that you think you are. Dig deeper. You are not the person that you once were. When you were born from heaven you became something new. You are now something else and to understand who and what you are you must learn what God's Word says about you, then seize it!

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

A Platitude?

These words "New Creature" in the scriptures are not a platitude. However, to lay hold of this concept you are going to have to fight for it. Understanding who you are in Christ will bring a liberty that cannot be found by any other means.

The world has to look around and search, and stumble and grasp at who they are. They strive for righteousness. They strive for vanity. Yet neither help them to become who they were created to be.

We have God's Word that tells us exactly who we are, what we were created for and He has given us the tools to do it. Seize it!

Seize it!

Take Action!

Do you feel like you are grasping at understanding who you are in Christ? 
We are with you! The attributes of a new creature in Christ are in you. Let's take advantage of this new nature. Find out what God says about you and BELIEVE IT and then begin to act on it. Do the small stuff first and work your way up to the bigger things.

Do the scriptures say you are patient? Then be patient because you have patience. That is just one of many attributes we will be sharing but don't wait. Go get that information today.
 
What are the first things that come to mind about being a new creation?
Make a quick list of 3 attributes God said you have. Ask Him to bring them to bear in your life.

OneNote is my favorite way to manage my notes. Use paper, use Evernote, use something to track your knowledge. It is an essential part of being an effective, efficient son or daughter of Christ. We have the tools. Let's use them.

Has it sunk in that you are a new creation?
Separate yourself and take time to think about what this means. Pray. Ask the Lord to show you how he sees you. Please, make this a focus over the next week.
Please, add your thoughts in the comment section.

Armor of God | Watchful Perseverance

Image
The armor of God has been a topic that has been difficult to get our minds wrapped around. What it is and how we put it on, has seemed to be a bit mysterious. So maybe by looking at the effect of the armor we can get a better understanding of how to put the armor on. We previously looked at  The Word of God , so let's take the next piece. We're leaving in,  The Effect of Armor,  section here for continuity. The Effect of Armor The most prominent place the armor of God is listed is in  Ephesians 6:14-18 NKJV .  Each piece of armor has an effect. Since it is spiritual armor, and we are physically oriented, it can be difficult to understand what is happening when we have it on. One of the things we know about armor is that once we are in the battle, we shouldn't have to think about the armor. It will passively protect us and we shouldn't have to give it another thought. We inspect, test and repair the armor on a regular basis and ensure it is fitted corr

Galvanize Your Heart

Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. What and how you think about life is extremely important. There is also another aspect of thinking that needs to be considered as well. That would be the priority of thinking. The scripture in Romans 12:2 NLT  does not ask us to change the way we feel. We need to change the way we think. Thinking is the part of your heart that the Lord is working on. So let's put a high priority on how we think. Pray. Think first. The emotions support and reinforce our resolve. The body gets us there and does the physical work. God is glorified. Think Like Jesus Thinks So what and how do we think? Have you ever noticed that when Jesus answered a question, he either asked another question back or answered the question they should have asked to find salvation? Jesus certainly did answer their question but more importantly He would first give another answer to a question they did not ask, but they should have. The q
