Lesson 1 The New You in Him

     2Cor.5:17(Amp) 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."

     1John3:2(Amp) says, "Beloved, we are even here and now God's children; it is not yet disclosed, made clear what we shall be hereafter, but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall as God's children resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He really is."

     1Peter1:23(Amp) 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."

     John4:24(Amp) says, "God is a Spirit (a Spiritual Being), and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth (reality)."  Jesus goes on in John6:63(Amp) saying, "It is the Spirit Who gives Life (He is the Life-Giver); the flesh conveys no benefit whatever (there is no profit in it). The Words (Truths) that I have been speaking to you are Spirit and Life."

     Col.2:9-10(Amp) says, "For in Him the whole Fullness of Deity (the God-Head) continues to dwell in bodily form giving complete expression of the Divine nature, And you are in Him made full and having come to fullness of Life in Christ, you too are filled with the God Head (Father-Son and Holy Spirit) and reach full Spiritual stature. And He is the Head of all rule and authority of every angelic principality and power."

     These are just a few scriptures that reveal who we've become now, by being born of the Seed of God.  The Law of Genesis is given in Gen.1:11-12(Amp) which says, "And God said, Let the earth put forth tender vegetation, plants yielding seed and fruit trees yielding fruit whose seed is in itself, each according to it's kind upon the earth. The earth brought forth vegetables; plants yielding seed according to their own kinds and trees bearing fruit in which was their seed, each according to it's kind; and God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable), and He approved it."

     This Law is still true today and everything bears after kind, by the seed.  Corn seed only brings forth corn, the seed of a horse always brings a horse, acorns will only produce Oak trees, monkeys only bring forth monkeys and the species of man, will only bring forth mankind.  God's Word is Seed and that Seed will only bring forth after Kind.  The above scripture tells us that, "God is Spirit."  God's Seed will only bring forth spirit people, who are made in His Image and after His Kind.  The new you is your spirit.  God deals with His children now, by our spirit.

     Many of us have put off the idea of actually being made whole, for when we go to Heaven, but the Truth is that we've been born into the Kingdom now.  We still see ourselves more after the flesh and the world's way of seeing and knowing ourselves, rather than after the birth rights we have in Christ Jesus.  We still believe God deals with us, like He did those under the Law, by the flesh and in natural terms.  Those under the Law weren't born-again by the Seed to produce after Kind.  They were born by the seed of Adam, who was dead in trespass and sin.  We've been born from death unto Life, by the Super-natural Seed of God's Word, Jesus.  God is now our Father and deals with, guides and corrects us through our spirit, by His Word and not the flesh.

     Things arise in our natural bodies that bring trials and even death, but many of them are self-inflicted, because we don't know who or what we really are and how we're to walk with God in the Spirit and His Word.  We've been brought up in religion, so we don't know how to walk in reality.  We still see ourselves as being unworthy and sinners, instead of seeing ourselves as God has made and birthed us to be in Christ Jesus.

     We've believed that the things Jesus has done for us, are for when we get to Heaven, instead of walking by the Spirit while we're here now.  We're born of and by the Super-natural Seed of God, produced through a Super-natural Father, and produced after Kind by God's Word, Jesus.  Luke1:14(Amp) says, "And the Word (Seed) Christ became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed) His tent of flesh, lives awhile among us, and we actually saw His Glory, His Honor, His Majesty, such Glory as an Only Begotten Son receives from His father, full of Grace, favor, Loving Kindness and Truth."

     Jesus, the Word was made flesh, in order to identify with earthly man and to die in our place.  Adam brought death to mankind and Jesus was to die for mankind, in order to restore us back to God.  He gave us Life once more, through and in our spirit.  This is the new you.  Man was responsible for sin and death, so a Man Who was without sin needed to die as a Sacrifice, to restore us back to God.  Jesus has become the Seed, according to Gal.3:16(Amp), which says, "Now the Promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (offspring, His Heirs), He God, does not say, and to seeds, (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, and to your Seed (Descendant, Your Heir), obviously referring to One Individual, Who is none other than Christ (the Messiah)."  We've been born from and are joint heirs with Christ Jesus, the Messiah.

    

Developing the New Creation Lesson 97

     2Cor.5:17(Amp) 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."  There are many things involved in developing the new creation God has made, some of which we never think about, but make a big difference.  There have been many teachings about watching what we say, but some believe this is foolishness.  Jesus said in Mark11:23(Amp), "Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him."

     Jesus didn't say that the mountain will obey what we say, but He tells us that, "Whatever you say and do not doubt but believe, will come to pass."  How many would like all the things we say, including the good and bad, come to pass?  Do we truly believe that the mountain will move?  Or are we believing that, "I doubt I can have whatever I say?"

     We're living in a "Woke" world, that tells us what we can say and what is politically correct.  If we speak out of turn, then we're cancelled, removed from media sites, and sometimes fired from our jobs.  This isn't about politics, but about freedom.  Today's churches aren't allowed to speak out about ungodly things happening in our nation.  Paul writes to the Church in Rom.12:2(Amp), saying, "Do not be conformed to this world (this age); fashioned after and adapted to it's external, superficial customs, but be transformed (changed by the entire renewal of your mind), by it's new ideals and it's new attitude, so that you may prove for yourselves what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in His sight for you."

     The things happening in today's world, are Spiritual and not political.  Americans stand to either choose freedom or free stuff.  If we comply with the ungodly mandates and orders from our political class, then we will receive free stuff, while losing our freedom.  Is God still our Source or is the ungodly government our source?  God instructs us in Prov.22:6(Amp), saying, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and in keeping with his individual gift or bent, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

     There is a struggle happening in our nation, between parents who believe they should have a say about what their children are trained up in and those who believe they should be trained by the woke culture, with it's beliefs.  We must not allow this age and it's woke culture, to train up our children and cancel all that God's done in and for this nation.  This is totally against what God's Word and His Spirit says.  We're not allowed to say, "Merry Christmas," but "Happy Holidays.' today, so we don't offend anyone.  

     If we remove and cancel the things God has done in the founding of our nation, then the next generation won't remember the covenant our founders made with God.  Our founding fathers weren't without fault, no one is, but God could and did use them to establish a nation that He designed.  America has lost sight of the Blessing God pronounced on us, trying to become like other nations.  God's people have never and will never, be like everyone else.  We are a new creation people, made in God's Image and Likeness.

     The ungodly have noticed how there is power in the words we speak.  That's what cancel culture and political correctness are about.  I'm amazed that God's Church has awakened to this revelation.  The entire planet is controlled by the words we speak, but we believe that what we say is "of no avail."  We submit to the world and watch what we say, but refuse to submit to the Power of God's Word in our speech.  If we speak contrary to the world, then we're cancelled and silenced.  Jesus Christ is the Word and will never be cancelled!  Rev.12:11(Amp) says, "They overcame by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony."  

     Psalm12:2-4(Amp) says, "To his neighbor each one speaks words without use or worth or truth; with flattering lips and double heart, deceitfully they speak. May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongues that speak proud boasting. Those who say, With out tongues we prevail; our lips are our own to command at our will-who is lord and master over us?"

     God's Church is supposed to be a Light to the world and salt to the earth.  Salt is a preservative that prevents things from spoiling and decaying.  Sugar cured ham isn't cured by the sugar, but by salt.  Without the Church, the earth is bound to be rotten and in decay.  Jesus gave the Great Commission, telling His followers to, "Go into all the world, preaching the Gospel or Good News and bringing others to salvation."  God's Church can't allow the ungodly things of the world, to be mixed with the things of God.  Our nation will be saved and restored by the Promise and integrity of God, but we have a part to play in this too.  Heb.5:14(Amp) says, "But solid food is for full grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is even and contrary either to Divine or human law."  Some human laws are contrary to the Divine Laws of God's Word.
