Lesson 51 The New Creation

     When we were born-again in Christ Jesus, we were created and made new creations.  Like God created man in the beginning, we are a new creation.  We were created to inhabit a new realm of living and authority.  We, though, mostly see ourselves as "sinners, who were cleansed from our past," instead of seeing ourselves like God sees us, as new creations without a past.  God doesn't look upon our past any longer, He made us brand new in His family.
     We were born of God, placed in right standing with Him, accepted and rejoiced in by God, and given dominion once again, by Him.  When God spoke in the beginning, everything was "dark," but once creation came, it was a new creation.  It was something that had never been until God spoke, Light be," and then there was light.  The Church, the new creation, never existed before God said it should be.  This is the continuing of His new creation miracle, just like the universe and light are a continuing part of His initial creation.  We were created new by the very power of His Word that is "Forever settles in heaven."  Whether or not we actually walk in it here on earth, it remains "Forever settled in heaven."  We will not become anymore of His children now, then when we arrive in heaven.  1John 3:2 (Amplified) says, "Beloved, we are now (even here and now) God's children."
    We might appear different and take on different ways of looking at things, when we leave these earthly bodies, but we won't become more of His children, than we already are.  We are already God's children (a new creation), who have already entered into a new Kingdom and a new way of living (here, as well as there).  Our Kingdom way of life, doesn't depend on the earthly way of providing, but on the Kingdom principle.
     The world says, "The poor get poorer and the rich get richer," but the Kingdom says, "Let the weak say I am strong and the poor say I am rich."  As new creation children of God, we have a new life, a new Kingdom, a new way of speaking and a new ability in Jesus to call "Things that be not, as though they are."  We can witness our words coming to pass before the eyes of the world, like Jesus' Words did.  Through Jesus, we've been given back the new creation realm of dominion and power, in order to speak God's Word into the earth the the lives of people, so that His will is "Done here on earth, as it is in Heaven."  We are from His Kingdom and are to take this new creation (this new Garden of Eden) and establish its riches of glory throughout the planet.  This is what God intended from the beginning.
     Through the Word and the Holy Spirit, we must begin walking in the Light of the new creation Kingdom.  We must learn to walk, talk, and above all hear, only "What we hear from our Father."  Just like Jesus did, we are to do what we see Him do.  This is the Kingdom principle, to enthrone the King once again, in the eyes of the world, according to Ephesians 3:10 (Amplified) which says, "(The purpose is) that through the Church, the complicated, many sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere."
     God is going to show Himself to all other power as Supreme, through His children in this new creation.  We are the Church, the Body of Christ.  We are His Body here on the earth, a new creation people, for God to show Himself to the lost world.
