The Understanding of who we are in Christ Jesus opens us up to experience the Abundant Life He promised us.
<p>
Not Understanding who we are in Christ does not affect His Love for us, but it prevents us from reaching our potential.
<p>
The NewBirth is not about you being refurbished.  It is about a New Creature - a New being.

<li> John 3:1-21 <br><i>
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
<p>
2 the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God : for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 
<p>
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God . 
<p>
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 
<p>
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit , he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God . 
<p>
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 
<p>
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 
<p>
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit .
<p>
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 
<p>
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 
<p>
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye Receive not our Witness . 
<p>
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye Believe , if I tell you of heavenly things? 
<p>
13 And no man hath ascended up to Heaven , but he that came down from Heaven , even the Son of man which is in Heaven . 
<p>
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 
<p>
15 that whosoever believeth in him should not Perish , but have Eternal Life . 
<p>
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son , that whosoever believeth in him should not Perish , but have Everlasting Life . 
<p>
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be Saved . 
<p>
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God . 
<p>
19 And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light , because their deeds were Evil . 
<p>
20 For every one that doeth Evil hateth the Light , neither cometh to the Light , lest his deeds should be reproved. 
<p>
21 But he that doeth Truth cometh to the Light , that his deeds may be made Manifest , that they are wrought in God .
</ul>
<p>
The Light that Jesus talked aboout is Revelation of who He is by the HolySpirit and the Word of God .  We are BornAgain by the Word and HolySpirit .
<p>
We do not experience the Wonderful things of God through the flesh.  We experience them through the New Spirit being that we are in Christ .
<p>
Our Soul ( Mind and Emotions ) must be Transformed by the Word of God in order for the Wonderful Power of God to Manifest in the flesh.
<p>
 2 Corinthians 5:17 <br><i>
Therefore if any man be in Christ , he is a New Creature : old things are passed away; behold, all things are become New .</i>
<p>
 Satan has convinced many Christians to simply Live a better Life .  We are to Live the New Life that is our Spirit .  This Life is one of Love , Joy , Peace , Power and Abundance .
<br><br>
Don`t settle for less than your inheritance in Christ Jesus !
<p>
Receive the HolySpirit and Fellowship with Him .  Meditate on the Word .  Pray in the Spirit .  The <i><b>real</b></i> You will Manifest to the Glory of Jesus Christ !

20190110 - The Mirror
<dir>
When we look into the mirror of God`s Word we see who we are in Christ - the New Creature.
<p>
But unless we stare into that mirror long enough, when we turn away we will forget the New Creature and remember the old man and so walk in the flesh, in fear and in weakness. 
<p>
It is only the New Creature that can do all things because he is in Christ . We must see it to be it.
