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."
We must learn to walk, think and act on a completely different level of Life, because we have become "new creations." Jesus said in John 10:10 (Amplified), "I have come that you should have life in the full abundance, til it overflows." The "Life" He spoke about, was the new birth that would come from being born-again by and through the very Word and Spirit of the Father Himself.
The new creation would be like the first creation of God was new to everything (except God, the Word, and the Holy Spirit Who were in existence before everything). The Word tells us that, "In the beginning was God." Creation came out of the will and Love of God Himself. He created a family and and a home for His family to live in and co-exist with God Himself.
there had never before been done like God's creation. The Heavens, earth, sun, moon, stars, vegetation, animals and fish, were all part of this creation. Man was the crowning glory of all God's creation and God created everything else for His family. Everything still remained of God's first creation, even though it had fallen under the curse of the Law. God didn't need to recreate everything. Jesus gave a revelation to John in Revelations 21:1,5 (Amplified), "Then [John] saw a new sky (Heaven) and a new earth, for the former sky and the former earth had passed away (vanished) and there no longer existed any sea." Verse 5 goes on, "And He Who was seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible and trustworthy) and true (genuine)."
In the above scripture, God did things on a different scale. Instead of creating everything else, before creating man, God created us in Christ Jesus (the new creation) to take back what had been lost. When the new creation man came into being, he was the master again, over all that God had brought through Adam. When God's new creation people took back dominion over His first creation, satan was defeated and brought back under man's feet. God speaks about Jesus and the family of God who would be born from His Seed, in genesis 3:15 (Amplified) saying, "And I will put enmity between you (satan) and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you shall lie in wait and bruise His heel."
Through the cross and resurrection of Jesus, God has brought forth a new creation, who would be a God-filled man. This God-filled man would rule over the first creation (the natural earth) once again and would be one with God Himself again. Jesus said in Luke 19:10 (Amplified), "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost." God's creation wasn't only lost, but His crowning glory (His family) came into the captivity of the enemy.
God never intended for satan to have any part of His creation. God's first thing was to have a new Man, Who was without sin and wasn't under the curse, but under His blessing again. This new creation was not one simply covered by blood and still a sinner, but one who was completely cleansed and perfected, according to Hebrews 10:14 (Amplified) which says, "For by a Single Offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy"
The Father has, through Jesus, brought forth a new creation who would be a God-made like unto Himself. This new creation would take back dominion and would have God's Own Spirit living within him and would live by the Spirit. This new creation is to be different from the first Adam, who was a natural man with an eternal spirit. This new creation would be a Spirit-filled man who was entwined, infused and one with, the Holy Spirit. The new creation man would have a natural body (a house), in which God's Own Spirit would indwell. In essence, this new creation would be the actual dwelling place of God, on this earth. He would become a living, moving, speaking Ark of the Covenant. The glory of God would live in and through him.
Satan would have no authority over this new creation man, because the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, has made us free from the Law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2 (Amplified) says, "Because the claims of justice have been met through Jesus, satan no longer has legal right to rule over the new creation." The new creation (the Body of Christ) have God's Own Spirit living in us and after all things have been put under the feet of Jesus, will tread satan's head underfoot. Satan will then, bruise the heel of this new creation Body of Christ.
Until recently, the revelation of who we are to the Father and Who He is in us, has been blinded by the Church's eyes by satan's lies and deception. In these last days, before the joining together of His Body (by His coming), the Body is beginning to stir and rise up in the power of His Name and Word. When this time is come, justice is decreed and order restored, there will be a New Heaven and new earth. And, God's family (the new creation) will become one family- all in all.
