New Creation Realities

1 For every new birth, there are realities pertaining to that order (family). A puppy has the realities of a dog, an eaglet that of the eagle etc. So when you are born again, there are realities that pertains to you.

The first is you are NEW. BRAND NEW. You are not a refurbished being. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. God gave you a new spirit. And you have been born into the family of God and your realities are those of your family. Stop expecting the limitations of your previous life to limit you. They are passed away.

You are in Christ now and your life is hid in Christ[Colossians3:3]. That is your reality. You have access to all the blessings reserved for the righteous in scripture because you have been made righteous. So stand on the finished works of Christ for You. 

Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. [2Corinthians 5:17].

For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. [2Corinthians 1:20]

2. Leading through the Spirit of God

As a new creation, God gave us his Spirit to dwell in us and lead us through life. A proof of your sonship is the ability to be led by the Holy Spirit (Rom 8:14). Don't go through life rudderless, enquire from the Holy Spirit within you what to do and when. For a Christian, new testament prophets are secondary /confirmatory sources not the primary.

But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice. They won't follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don't know his voice."[John 10:3-5].

"There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth... He will tell you about the future. He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me. [John 16:12-14]

However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived"— the things God has prepared for those who love him— these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.[1Corinthians 2:9]

3. Peace with and Access to with God

As Christians, we have peace with God. We are not trying to earn his love or acceptance. He is at peace with us. Even when we make mistakes, he calls us to repentance but his wrath is not on us.

Consequently, we have unfettered access to the Father. [Ephesians 2:18] His ears are ever open to our prayers. We can always lift up our holy hands in worship of our king. Glory

Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, "Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased."[Luke 2:13-14]

Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.[Hebrews 4:16] Because of Christ and   our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God's presence.

He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.[Ephesians 2:17]

4. Deliverance from curses, fear and power of darkness

In Christ Jesus, you are seated in heavenly places far above principalities and powers. You have been translated into the kingdom of God.[Ephesians 1:21] You are no more under curses or fears.

The life you have now is the life of God (Zoe) and it is your duty to renew your mind to it through the word of God.

That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.[Ephesians 1:19-21]

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus[Ephesians 2:6]

Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have

lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.[Hebrews 2:14] He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed [us] into the kingdom of the Son of His love,[Colossians 1:1

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus...[Galatians 3:14]

5. Health and prosperity

The realities of the new man includes prosperity of the soul and body. Being blessed with all spiritual blessings (Eph 1:3) and yet resigning to perpetual lack and sickness is contradictory.

Having abundance is part of the realities in Christ Jesus. Divine health and supernatural healing is part of the package. Christ has paid the price, let your soul know it well & keep saying it until you see it.

We're the best of friends, and I pray for good fortune in everything you do, and for your good health--that your everyday affairs prosper, as well as your soul! [3 John 1:2]

And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.[Philippians 4:19]

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.[1Peter2:24]

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.[Ephesians 3:20]

You know how full of love and kindness our Lord Jesus Christ was. Though he was very rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.[2Corinthians 8:9]

And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.[2Corinthians 9:8]

6. Love walk

We are born by love and to love. Love is part of our DNA since God is love. There are no excuses to justify not walking in love. Christ died for us while we were yet sinners and even on the cross, he prayed for his killers.[Romans 5:8]

 You are a love being and you have the capacity to love and forgive those that offend you. Paul was a product of the love walk of Stephen at the point of death.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.[Romans 5:5]

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other...[John 13:34]

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death... This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.[1 John 3:14]

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever.. [1Corinthians 13:4-7]

7. Renew your mind to your realities

The above and many more are the realities of the new birth, but how do we walk in it you ask? It is by renewing your mind to it.

Your spirit is new but your mind is not and it needs to be constantly renewed by God's word. [Romans 12:2] Reset your mindset and thinking with the word.

Meditate on your realities and intentionally confess it to yourself repeatedly.

Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. [Ephesians 4:22-25]

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ[2Corinthians 10:3-5]

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. [Romans 12:2]
