You are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God inhabits you… – Romans 8:9. The New Man is predominantly spirit, as it was in the garden. This is how it is supposed to be now. Life is about consciously living what you believe. It’s about letting your identity manifest. The flesh is only our point of contact to a physical realm. We are created to live in the Spirit and manifest eternity in the world. Our identity is who Jesus is. We are an exact representation of Him, as He is the exact representation of the Father.
God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. – 1John 1:5. Jesus is the true Light, who is everyone’s light… – John 1:9. You are the light of the world… – Matthew 5:14. Jesus is Light. We are one with the Light. We are Light. Light and darkness cannot coexist in the same space. It’s simply not possible. We inhabit the Light and in us no darkness can dwell. We expel darkness everywhere we go. We are the light this world experiences.
Anyone who’s in Jesus is one spirit with Him. – 1Corinthians 6:17. He is in oneness with us. Oneness with Jesus, by the Spirit is: Eternal Life. Reconciliation to the Father. Access to and relationship with the Father. Relationship and intimacy with Jesus. Revelation of the person of God. The mind of Christ. Revelation of the mysteries of Heaven. Access to and habitation of the Spirit realm. Dominion over the earth.
The purpose of Jesus coming into this world to save us, was to restore us back to the Father. The Father is life and He gave Jesus to have life in Himself. Our communion and oneness with Him is Life. When we were separated from God by a nature that was not His, we were dead. There was no life in us. In God’s reality, anything that is not in oneness and communion with Him is dead. He is life.
Living in the Spirit is about consciously living by the leading of the Spirit – it’s about living in the knowledge that you’re in Him and He’s in you. It’s about resting in Him. It’s about letting Him be the source of information, direction, relationship, giftings, etc. Being born again is when the Spirit becomes one with you through the Word you received. Unless you are born of Water and Spirit, you cannot enter the kingdom of God. The Spirit is Life – abundance of Life! He is Eternal Life. We received eternal life when we believed Jesus.
The New Man is spirit. We are not in the flesh. We are One with the Spirit of Jesus – the first born among many brethren. Our identity is rooted in the nature and likeness of our Father. We are sons of God – created just like Him – as Jesus is, so are we, now. Access to the state of spiritual existence lies in knowing and believing this truth. It is as God intended. We are created to live and walk in our true state of being – Spirit!
The Head supplies information to the body. It is the source. The head and the body function together. Jesus is our Head. He the supply of all revelation. We function by the mind of Christ. The body is knit together by the Spirit to perform and function according to the will of the Head. Praise God that Jesus lives and breathes the will of the Father. Through Him we are the perfect will of the Father. You are complete in Him. He is the perfect Head.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God – Romans 12:1-2. All of God’s will is good, acceptable and perfect. There are no 3 different wills of God. It’s just one will. You are His will!
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. – 1 Peter 1:3. Hope for the New Man is not of uncertainty. It’s an assurance of the promises of a loving Father. Sons don’t hope for something that has no definite outcome. Our hope is founded on the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new Spirit will I put within you… – Ezekiel 36:26. The New Man has received the Spirit of God. We are one with Him. He is the Spirit of power, and love, and soundness of mind. Empowered by the Holy Spirit we have nothing to fear. We have the Godhead indwelling us.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. – 1 John 4:4.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God – 1Corinthians 2:12. Being one with the Spirit, gives us access to His mind – the mind of Christ. Every mystery that was hidden from fallen man is now revealed to the sons of God through Jesus. The New Man has been given to experience the Heart of God and His eternal plans through the Spirit. Jesus knows everything about the Father… and through Him we get access into the deep recesses of His heart. Through Oneness we get to experience the Godhead.
…I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. – Ezekiel 36:26-27 (KJV) A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. – 2Corinthians 5:17.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. – Romans 10:4 (KJV) For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. We are no more partakers of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil… we have now come to the Tree of Life. We have come to Jesus. He is Life. Our life is no more about right and wrong choices. The things of this world are not our focus. It’s about living Eternal Life, now. It’s about partaking of eternity – it’s about knowing Jesus and the Father. It’s about manifesting our identity to the world around us.
Everything created waits eagerly in great expectation and longing for the sons of God to manifest their true identity. Creation can experience perfect freedom under the dominion of sons – it was created to serve us. Creation longs to serve the son of God and experience freedom from curse. Being One with Jesus causes glory to manifest to this physical world. As long as our feet touch this world there is hope for blessing and life to flow.
He that is joined to the Lord is One Spirit – 1Corinthians 6:17. The New Man is in absolute oneness with the Father, through Jesus… its inherent! We have the mind of Christ through this oneness. We think and experience the Father through it. By the Spirit within we walk in the will of the Father and manifest all His desires. He lives through us. We experience Eternal Life and Glory by Jesus… we’re IN Him.
Everything physical that is created manifested from the spiritual realm. God spoke and creation materialised. The spiritual and unseen realm is the source from which all physical manifestations take place. This spiritual realm is the habitation of the New Man. Jesus is the way, the truth and the Life. He brought us to the Father who is our habitation today. We live and inhabit the Father.
The New Man has a new heart and a new Spirit… The New heart is not the old deceitful heart of the old man. It is the heart of Jesus that runs after the Father. It is the heart that yearns for more of the Father. After being born again our desires have changed. No more do we desire the dead things of the world. Physical habits may cause worldly things to still look attractive and lucrative, but in our hearts we know we don’t desire it.
The New Man is predominately spiritual, just as Adam was before the fall. He wasn’t as conscious of the physical realm as he was of his spiritual nature. That’s is why he could see and hear God. He even heard the footsteps of God walking up to him in the garden after he fell. Adam was more aware of his dominion before he fell, than after his eyes opened to the guilt of disobedience. Today, we are one with the Spirit of God. We have been restored to a greater place of authority than before the fall of man. We have been made one with Jesus – He is Life.
Romans 8:38-39 (KJV) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We can only truly love God with His kind of Love, if we have experienced His love first. His love is not an emotional love. It may evoke emotions in us when we experience Him, but it’s not emotional when He pours it out. Emotions are a human response.
You cannot be any more like Jesus than you are now. You are exactly as He is… He destroyed all imperfections, weakness and flaws at the cross. He became our inadequacies so we could be complete. You are perfect in everything. You are flawless, whole, indestructible. You are one with the Spirit of Life. You are soaking abundant Life. There is no deterioration or decay of any form in Abundant Life.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil brought about condemnation and guilt in man. Man was subjected to a life of choosing between right and wrong. The purpose of life changed from originally enjoying a relationship with God, to having to choose between good and evil to survive. Jesus restored all things to where the New Man is now living in the abundance of life. Jesus is the Tree of Life.
We are hidden with Christ IN the Father. We emanate Spiritual life to the physical world around us. This glorious manifestation takes place when we are consciously inhabiting the Father. He is the source of life. He is life. The fallen world is in need of repair, restoration and reconciliation. We are portals of God’s glory to this dying world. We are the connection between the Spiritual and physical realms. Sons are life-giving spirits. We exude life wherever we go. It’s in our being. It’s the overflow of relationship with the Father that causes this Life to manifest.
God exists out of time. He sent Jesus to bring us to Eternal Life. A life that does not subject us to time, but rather empowers us to use time as a tool. Time is a created entity. It came into existence when God created the world. He created it to be an indicator of times and seasons. It was designed to inform- not dictate. The fall perverted this tool to produce the curse of ‘urgency’ which in-turn caused a riptide of negative effects in the lives of man.
This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. — John 17:3; You would have read this scripture in the Bible and easily have sailed past it without realising how one word could change its entire meaning. The addition of the word ‘about’ to this verse, changes the very relationship it talks about — ‘knowing You’ misconstrued as ‘knowing about You.’ When christians read this scripture, they almost inevitably, unknowingly and mistakably conclude that it’s talking about gathering information about God — or studying the Bible.
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you… and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority… — Romans 8:9; Colossians 2:10. This world can add nothing to you, and it can take nothing away from you! You are spirit. Your existence is Spirit. Your physical presence here is the connecting link between Eternity and this physical world. Physical creation manifested out of Eternity.
