2Corinthians 5:17 (Amplified) says, "Therefore, if any person is (ingrafted) in Christ Jesus (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether) the old (previous moral and spiritual condition) has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come."
Just as surely as the Word of God created the heavens and earth as a new creation, He has spoken the same powerful Word to create a new creation people. 1Peter 1:23 (Amplified) says, "You have been regenerated (born again) not from a mortal origin (seed,sperm), but from One that is immortal by the Ever Living and Lasting Word of God."
This is the very same Seed that was spoken into Mary's womb, that created the very first of this new creation family. Luke 1:38 (Amplified) says, "Then Mary said, Behold, I am the hand maiden of the Lord; let it be done to me according to what you have said, And the Angel left her." The KJV says, "Let it be done unto me according to thy word." John 1:14 (Amplified) says, "And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human,incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh) lived while among us."
We also read in Hebrews 12:23 (Amplified), "And to the Church (assembly) of the first born who are registered (as citizens) in Heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in Heaven) who have been made perfect." Ephesians 4:22-24 (Amplified) says, "Strip yourselves of your former nature (put off and discard your old unrenewed self) which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion. And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind (having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude) And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God's Image (God-like) in true righteousness and holiness."
God's Word can only produce what He said for it to produce. If you've been born-again, then this new nature and new creation is what His Word has created, in His Image (God-like). In Ephesians 4:24 (Amplified) we are instructed to, "Put on the new nature (the regenerate self). This is for the believer to do. Even though you're created a new creation, it is the understanding that comes from a renewed mind and spirit of the individual to understand enough to "put this new creation or new nature on."
The whole armor of God is the new nature of this new creation, according to Ephesians 6:10-17. This is putting on the Lord Jesus Christ in spirit and truth. The Armor of God is given to the new creation, in order to conduct the warfare we have entered into with our Father, to set the captives free. We are warring against an enemy that Jesus has already overcome, but the world is still under the bondage of the evil one.
Our Father left us "clothed in flesh" as men, so we would be able to remain on earth to do His work in the world. Man was given dominion and has been restored, through this new creation, to take back what satan has declared to be his, by Adam's fall. Jesus (the Last Adam) redeemed and restored and bought back the lost dominion of man. And, by His redemption,the new creation has been once again restored dominion.
We've been given the right and authority through Jesus, in this new creation, to speak (or sow) the Seed of the new creation into the fields of the earth. This new Eden, that was to replenish the earth, has been placed in our spirit and in our mouth, for us to sow. The sower sows the Word. We've become sowers of the Incorruptible Seed of the new creation.
We've discovered that this incorruptible seed works for the new birth, but haven't always been sure it works for everything else. The same Seed, Sperm, Word of God that works and produces this new creation will also work to create a healed body, a clean leper, a free person and a new creation being in the mouth of the believer. I believe that there are so many more miracles and healings that aren't recorded in The Acts of the Apostles. These men were sowers of the seed, for all things pertaining to salvation.
Jesus commented about the centurian and his servant who recognized the authority and power of words and dominion, in Luke 7:6-9 (Amplified) saying, "Neither did I consider myself to come to You, But (Just) speak a word, and my servant boy will be healed." Jesus said this about the centurion's faith in Verse 9, "I tell you, not even in (all) Israel have I found such great faith (as this)."
We haven't understood what this servant knew about authority and dominion. He understood from a natural point-of-view, because he was in charge of others. Jesus recognized that the man "perceived" the authority of a word (from the lips of one who knew it's power) was all that was needed to carry out what was said. This centurion recognized the authority of this new creation Man (Jesus),carried over to everything He spoke. Jesus' Words created whatever was needed.
We've used the Word or Seed to lead others into salvation by Christ (create new creation people), but we've failed to understand that this same Word will create anything the Word says for it to be. You can use the Word to creation a new creation and from the same Seed, can create a healed body, a new hand, enough bread and fishes to feed a multitude or anything the Father desires to produce and replenish the earth.
