Therefore
we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life (Romans 6:4).
The Bible declares in 2 Corinthians 5:17,
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become new." The Greek rendering of
the phrase, "a new creation," actually means "a new species of
being!" It doesn’t just refer to a new life in terms of timing; that is to
say, a life that has just begun. It means newness in type and quality. A new
creation is a new type of man; he’s one of a kind that never existed before!
He’s not subject to Satan, and doesn’t need deliverance.
This is who you are, if you’re born again. You’re
not subject to defeat, and cannot be disadvantaged. Walk by faith, because
you’ve already been given the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). Romans 6:14
declares, "…Sin shall not have dominion over you…." You’re a superior
being; you’re no longer governed by sin or bad habits.
You’re not merely someone who has turned a new leaf
or has changed from living the bad life to a good life. No! You’re born anew,
to express the righteousness, excellence, glory, and multifaceted wisdom
of God.
Confession
I’m a new creation in Christ Jesus, holy and
sanctified unto the Lord! I’m a partaker of the divine nature, expressing and
manifesting the life of Christ in righteousness, excellence, glory, wisdom and
power! I reign by grace today, through righteousness, because the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death
and its debilitating influences. Halleluiah!
