The Cross

Get this. You are a NEW CREATION. If I were to say I discovered a new species, it would be implied that this species had NEVER been seen before, and was unlike species that had prviously been known. How much GREATER than is a whole new creation? This CRAP about the struggle with the old man has GOT TO STOP! Seriously. If, as Romans says (about 40 times) that the old you is dead, died, no longer alive, crucified with Christ… HOW is it that people struggle with this old flesh??? IT”S DEAD! The Bible also forbids necromancy… communication with the dead. If you are continually bringing back your dead man, you either dont know that he is dead, or you dont want to let go of that dead man.

At the cross, YOU DIED WITH CHRIST. In as much as Jesus was crucified, SO WERE YOU! I dont know how else to put it. You NO LONGER have to deal with that old self. The nature of the flesh NO LONGER has a hold on you. Romans 7, where paul talks about the struggle of not doing what he wanted to do, and doing what he didnt want to do; COULD NOT have possibly referred to His current state as he wrote the letter (unless Paul was a scizophrenic, bi-polar, double-minded man). The Romans 7 struggle refers to life outside of life led by the Spirit, or life before receiving Christ (who transforms you INTO that new creation).

As Kris Valloton says; “If you are waiting till you die to be perfected and live in freedom, then you have made death your saviour.” Many People like the verse “you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free”. The truth is a Person. His name is Jesus. and He already DID set you free. “It is finnished!” Not “It will be finnished!” Stop asking Him to do something for you, that He already accomplished 2,000 years ago.

Sorry if this is coming out in a harsh way… not my intention… Im just SO sick and tired of hearing Christians begging God to set them free, not understanding who they are, what He did, what they have access to, and why they don’t look any different from the world. There is no longer an excuse to live a lifestyle of sin, shame, boredom, regret, powerlessness, pride, anger, defeat, self-pitty, or LIMITS OF ANY KIND. Believe that what He said was and IS  true. He wouldnt have given you a promise, and then not given you the power and ability to fulfill that promise. (The power and ability come in the form of the Holy Spirit, who is the fulfillment of every promise.) Period.

Thats all. No pictures. Very little punctuation, spelling, or grammer. deal with it.
