The New Creation Reality
God bless. Take your Bibles and turn to II Corinthians
please. Tonight, being here with you in
Jesus Christ, men and women, in II
Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17.
Therefore if any man or anyone is
the text.
Anyone.
Man is an inclusive noun. Be in
Christ, he is a new creation. Old things
are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. That is new creation reality. For you have Christ in you, the hope of
glory. God was in Christ reconciling the
world unto himself and when you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal
Lord and Savior, it’s God in Christ in you and that’s why you’re a new
creation. Old things, body and soul man,
you’re more than that, those are passed away.
You have Christ in you, the hope of glory who
is eternal life. And the great truth of
what I’ve just shared with you, you can find in II Peter, II Peter, chapter 1. First and Second
Peter, Jude, and then you run out of the Word.
Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a
new creature [creation]: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new. -- II Corinthians 5: 17
Chapter 1 of II Peter, look at
verse 4: The last part of verse 3, he
called us to glory and virtue, power. And then the first word in verse 4 is ‘his own’. ‘Whereby’
is in King James. ‘His own’ is the
critical Greek text in Aramaic. His own
glory and power which are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises that by these ye might be partakers of the divine
nature, Christ in you, the divine nature, new creation reality. A new type of humanity
escape the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Whereby [his own] are
given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust. -- II Peter 1: 4
Partakers of the divine nature. That makes us men and women of
God. And it’s always so wonderful when I
think of who we are in Christ Jesus because Ephesians chapter 2 says in verse
10.
For we are his
workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them. -- Ephesians 2: 10
We are God’s workmanship. The first time I was born I was my daddy’s
and mommy’s workmanship. But when I was
born again I am my heavenly father’s workmanship. And certainly my heavenly Father can do as good or better than my earthly father and mother. And what a tremendous creation that is within
you. We have never unleashed the power
that’s within us because we consistently get talk out of it from the world or
by the environment. How many of us live
day after day knowing who we really are spiritually. More than conquerors, all of
that. With the new creation
reality of Christ within, we are his workmanship and we are created in Christ
Jesus and that’s eternal life. You know,
in my heart and mind, it’s just not enough to lead somebody to Christ. About all that you hear on television and
everything else is endeavoring to lead people to Christ, get them born again or
something, confess their sins. But it’s just not enough to lead men and
women to Christ. But we have to teach the
things about Christ. That’s why in
Matthew 28, verse 19.
Go ye therefore and
teach them in my name. -- Matthew 28: 19 [Literal usage according to the text.]
From the Webmaster of
section 1: [You should take notice of the King James version which says
baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The
scribes and the religious leaders wanted to make the Trinity available. So they added those verses which illustrate
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ was the Son of God.
It’s that simple.]
Go he therefore, and do what? Teach. It’s not just enough to get people saved or
lead them to Christ. That’s the starting
point, but what’s the use of getting people led to Christ, born again, if they
never know who they really are. That they’re a new creation reality. That they are a new type of
human being here upon earth with Christ in them, the hope of glory. That’s why he said go ye therefore and teach. And in verse 20:
Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, low, I am with you
always, even unto
the end of the world [age]. Amen. --
Matthew 28: 20
You see, Jesus Christ is not only
our Savior. It’s not only Christ within,
but he is our mediator. I Timothy, Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews.
For there is one
God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: -- I Timothy 2: 5
He’s not only our Savior, he’s our
mediator. He’s the mediator, one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. And as a mediator, he is also our
intercessor. Romans states that so
beautifully in chapter 8. Romans 8. Listen to
this great verse 34.
Who is he that condemneth? There
are always people hanging around after you’re born again of God spirit who are
always endeavoring to condemn you or make you feel badly. You can’t do that to a new creation reality
to the new type of human that you are in Christ Jesus. That’s why the rest of the verse reads,”
shall Christ who died? Yea, rather is risen again who is even at the right hand of
God, who also maketh intercession for us?
Who is he
that condemneth? It is [these 2 words are in italics and should be scratched]. Christ that died,
yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also
maketh intercession for us? -- Romans 8: 34
What a tremendous blessing it is to
be a new creation reality knowing that it’s Christ who also makes intercession
for us. That’s a lot better than
For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature [created thing] shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which
is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -- Romans 8: 38, 39
So he is our mediator - Jesus
Christ is. He is also our intercessor and
then finally he
is our defense attorney. You see, when
you know the truth of God’s Word, you never need to defend it, all you need to do is to speak it. The Word is its own best defense and that’s
why in I John. We’re sure flipping you through
the Testament, aren’t we? That’s how I
know whether you know your books of the Bible.
I John chapter 2: My little children, these things write unto
you, that ye sin not break fellowship, but if any man break fellowship, we have
an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
The word advocate is a barrister, a
defense attorney. What a wonderful,
wonderful new creation reality this is to have Christ in us as our advocate. We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
Christ, the righteous.
Christ is always fighting for us, always our advocate. Always pleading in our
behalf. You remember how Moses
pleaded for the children of
In John 14, the gospel of John,
verse 23.
Jesus answered and
said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: then my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [The text reads “in
him”] -- John 14: 23
This is speaking relative to the
day of Pentecost when people are born again for the first time because it was
available. That Christ could live
within. In the old
testament, they were sons and daughters,
Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me. -- John 14: 1
In my Father’s house [Jesus said] are
many [apartments or] mansions: if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. --
John 14: 2
Just specifically for those of us
who are His loved children. And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself that
where I am there, you may be also.
And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that
where I am there ye may be also. -- John 14: 3
And whether I go ye
know, and the way ye know. -- John 14: 3
You see I just have no question at
any time about the love of God. And that
Jesus Christ who is seated at the right hand of the Father went there and
prepared for us a place and that’s because of his great love. So I’m Father conscious but I’m conscious of
the love of that Father. Like I was conscious of my earthly father and his love for me. Now not all people have that kind of father
and mother that loves them as I had but your heavenly Father certainly loves
you and you have to get a Father consciousness that he really is concerned
about your welfare in every detail.
Many years ago I’m ministering in
one of the churches in Van Wert and if he would ever think of praying for what Dr.
Wierwille said, he prays to God for he feel like he insulted God. And so when I met him, and I’d heard this, I
asked him, he said that he had said yeah.
Well I said then if I felt like you do, I’d get me a new God. If you can talk to your Father and insult Him
and hurt Him by talking honestly and lovingly to Him, your
heavenly Father. If I couldn’t talk to Him
about every little segment of my life, my work, I’d get me a new God. It just makes sense, wouldn’t it? So if he felt he was embarrassing God, I
don’t think you can ever speak to your heavenly Father and embarrass Him. I think you’re the one that’s embarrassed, thinking about it so quit, quit being
embarrassed. Your
a child of His love, you’re a child of His care. He is more concerned about every fiber of
your life and more about the detail in your life, everything about your life
than you are. And I think He knows you
better than you know yourself. So, not
only has he prepared a love home for the children of His love, but when you
know the reality of God’s Word, it takes the fear out of life and it sure takes
the fear out of death. In John, I John, it’s way back in there again. Chapter 3, listen to
this. The epistle of I John, chapter 3,
verse 14.
We know that we have passed from
death unto life, because we love the brethren.
See that’s the new creation reality.
That word love is the word agapeo. It is not eros, it
is not phileo.
Phileo love is brotherly love and that simply
means, you scratch my back, I scratch yours.
But agape love is the love of God in the renewed mind in
manifestation. That kind of love, honey,
was never available until the day of Pentecost, until the new birth came, with
Christ in you, the hope of glory. You
can love like he loved.
Read it again, chapter 3, verse 14:
We know that we have
passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brethren abided
in death. -- I John 3: 14
You’re killing yourself and that’s
one thing you surely don’t want to do as the new creation reality. Injure yourself. That’s why you just love with the love of God
in the renewed mind in manifestation.
In chapter 4 of I John, verse 6, It
says “We are of God”: A while ago we read that when I started, “His workmanship”. Here it says the same thing. We’re of Him.
We’re of God. He’s that knoweth God heareth us. He’s that is not of God heareth
not us. So whenever I lovingly speak to
people about God and Christ, if they listen to it wonderful, if they don’t,
that’s their problem. If they hear not
us, then we know they’re not of God. Hereby knowing the
spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
We are of God: he that knoweth God
heareth us; he that is not of God heareth
not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the
spirit of error. – I John 4: 6
Beloved, verse 7, let us love one
another for love is of God; and everyone that loveth,
the agape kind of love is born of God, and knoweth
God.
Beloved, let us love
one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth
is born of God, and knoweth God. – I John
4: 7
He that loveth
not, with that love of God in the renewed mind, knoweth
not God; for God is agapeo, love of God, God is love.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for
God is love. – I John 4: 8
The greatness of this love is so
magnanimous and so wonderful to the new creation reality the new type of
humanity. We are the Jesus men and
women. The world has seldom seen Jesus
men and women. They’ve had a lot of
religion, but very few men and women have really walked the talk and talked the
walk of the Word in living. And the
greatest of all is love.
I Corinthians chapter 13: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, which is speaking in tongues, and have not
love. Charity is love, agapeo, the love of God in the renewed mind. I am become as a sounding brass, or a what? A tinkling cymbal.
Though I speak with
the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal. -- I Corinthians 13: 1
Right. Nothing wrong with the manifestation, it’s me. I have the privilege of being born again of
God’s spirit and knowing His Word, reading His Word to put on the mind of Christ and to walk as he
walked. To love as he
loved. People have said to me on
many, many occasions. Do you have any
problem forgiving people? My answer has
always been no. I don’t have. Sometimes I have difficulty understanding
people, but I have no problem forgiving them.
The reason being, I know what He forgave me for and how forgiving God
is, how loving, how tremendous Christ is as an intercessor, as my advocate. That’s why I have no difficulty in forgiving
people. I think we used the illustration
in PFAL or someplace, if you point 1 finger at an individual, you point 3 back
at yourself. And who’s going to point
any fingers for we were all dead in trespasses and sins without God and without
hope before we got born again. But when
we got born again by the love of God, we became new creation realities. That old dead man’s over with. We now have Christ in us, the hope of glory
and we can love with the love wherewith Christ loved by renewing our mind,
putting on the mind of Christ. Go to
Ephesians for a moment. Ephesians
chapter 2, verse 4.
But God, who is rich
in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, -- Ephesians 2: 4
Even when we were dead to sins, whom God
quickens together with Christ by grace ye have been saved.
Even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ (by grace ye are saved;) -- Ephesians 2: 5
And had raised us up together, and has aroused or
awakened us together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus:
And hath raised us up
together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus: -- Ephesians 2: 6
He has made us to sit in the
heavenly places in Christ Jesus because we’re children of His love. We are the new creation reality. We’re the new type of God men and women upon
earth. Men and women
in whom God in Christ dwells.
We’re that new type and therefore we’re already seated in the heavenlies. Whether
you like it or whether you don’t, you’re seated up there. So look down and have a good laugh at the
world. What a tremendous truth. Seated together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus.
So as the new creation reality, as
the workmanship of God, we be followers of the Lord
Jesus Christ the way, because he is the way, the truth and the life. As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we
just have to claim our sonship rights. We have to be Father conscious and realize
how much He loves us. Because
He came in and made His abode in you.
He is closer to you than hands or feet or even breathing. He is the all in the all in every part of
you. Jesus Christ’s his eyes behind your
eyes, ears behind your ears. He is the
all in the all of you. And what a
tremendous privilege it is to be able to walk as God’s men and women. In the midst of a perverse and crooked world. And we’re seated with Him. Nothing can separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. What
a tremendous truth and how we ought to walk forth with the greatness of the
Word in our lives as more than conquerors living this abundant life and sharing
it. Showing the people what Christ
really is and who he is and what he does for them. So I think that was what I had on my heart to
share with the household of
