KEY SCRIPTURE:2 Corinth 5:17 KJV” Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”.

We are of the Spirit and are made of the Spirit of Christ (Rom 8:9). Man is a Spirit who has a soul and lives within a body (1 Thess 5:23). Our Spirit is created after God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:23. The scriptures says further in 1Corinth 6:17 KJV “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit”. We are one with Christ. Our recreated Spirit is the very spirit of Christ. (Gal 2:20). The word says in Romans 8:10, that, “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness”. Christ lives in us.

 The Spirit of Christ is our true identity. When the Christian says I, he or she is not referring to the former self, that is, Mr. A or Madam K. 2Corinth 5:16 KJV says ” Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more”. We do not know any Christian after the flesh. We do not know ourselves after the flesh. We know ourselves after the Spirit which we are. The error most Christians make is, when they say ‘me’, in their mind they are referring to that old human being with all the human weakness.

 Any Christian who sees himself or herself as the human being that he or she has always been is bound for failure. He is failing to apply the scripture that says, we know no man after the flesh. The man who is not born again is not in Christ and does not come into the sphere of people the Bible is talking about in 2nd Corinth 5:16. Remember that, that which releases the power of the Spirit to function in you, is when you acknowledge that, you are one with the Spirit of Christ. From now when you say I, know that you are referring to the new man, who is one with Jesus and has all the potentials of the Lord Jesus. See yourself as very superior to the ordinary individual. Say to yourself, I am a superior breed. God has given birth to me, and I am a kind of the first fruit of His creatures (James 1:18)

CONFESSION

I died with Jesus, but have resurrected with His life. The very life force that powers my body is the Spirit of Christ. I have His abilities, I have His wisdom, He loves through me, touches men through me, Oh what a life.
