The whole purpose and point of these DAILY MEDS is to encourage Christians to actually LIVE out their faith. If we look at the example of Jesus, He didn’t ask His father to do the miracles for Him. He’s the One Who performed them by speaking to the need. And this is exactly what He […]
Category Archives: Understanding the new man
Most Christians understand that at the new birth, Jesus comes to live in their heart, and consequently they have eternal life. However, to understand the true depth of what was done at the new birth, is not something that most Christians fully grasp. Jesus not only lives in us, God’s Spirit dwells in us and […]
There is an underlying message in the New testament that every Christian must fully understand in order to walk into the new creature that God has given them when born again. The new testament talks about the “old man” and the “new man”, or the old self or the new self. Paul in Ephesians 4: […]
Yesterday we talked about DECEPTION and how the devil’s main goal is to deceive people; to lie about what God has said and to get people to disobey God’s Word. Deception sets in motion a process of degeneration: deception produces lust; lust is a perverted, rebellious desire designed to contradict the will of God. Lust […]
We’ve already covered that the old man is corrupt, born from deception, and therefore by default, we were all born a rebel. So, let’s look at the solution for the problem of the old self, since it is a universal problem which each and every one of us faces. First, let’s mention the potential solutions […]
In our last discussion, we talked about God’s solution to not try to repair or revamp the old tree, but rather to cut it down. But let’s talk no more about solutions for trees, but a solution for man’s old self. So there is one solution that God has come up with in order to […]
Yesterday we covered that God’s solution for the old self was EXECUTION. In Romans 6:6 Paul explains that our old self has been crucified with Christ. Meaning that the body of sin has been done away, and therefore we are no longer slaves to sin. That was God’s solution to ending the slavery to sin, […]
Here is a short recapitulation of the different points since the beginning of this dissertation. First, that because of the fall of Adam we were all born corrupted. Second, that Jesus came to redeem us to full relationship with the Father, so that we can be accepted as sons, no longer slaves of Satan. And […]
We’ve talked a fair bit about the VICTORY of the NEW MAN over the old man. How through Jesus, the old man has been crucified and we now live as newly accepted children in the Kingdom of god. We are accepted as sons of the Most High God. WOW… And we have inherited the righteousness […]
Let’s remember Jesus has already defeated Satan at the cross. That was Satan’s total, permanent, irreversible defeat. Jesus has disarmed Satan’s powers and whatever authority he may have over us. He made a public spectacle, triumphing over him by the cross. “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, […]
The battle is already won. Christ won the victory over the devil on the cross. We’re born again in the spirit, but our soul (mind, emotions) and our bodies are not yet redeemed. However, we know the enemy is a deceiver, a liar and an accuser, and since he couldn’t keep us from making Jesus […]
As established in previous discussions, we live in a different Kingdom. And we must live by the laws of the kingdom of light. FAITH is the currency of God’s kingdom. “For without faith, you cannot please God” (Heb 12:6). We were created to PRAISE! It’s a law of God; the more we PRAISE the more […]
I want to do a quick recapitalisation of the 10 different chapters on this discussion regarding “Understanding the NEW MAN” to help you understand where we now stand in the spirit. First we’ve brought out how man was deceived by the devil in the garden. Man was told that he could be as God on […]
In the last few days we have been through a series of DAILY MEDS explaining the VICTORY of the new man and how the old man is DEAD. And how the victory of the Christian is in living in full possession of Christ. Meaning that we should be FULLY possessed by Christ. Yesterday on a […]
