We Believers Really are Brand New!

Jan 23, 2016

I have been enjoying the Word so much lately.  First of all I have re read the book "Born Crucified" (by L.E.Maxwell) which has had a huge impact on my "seeing" what happened on the cross, and how ALL of my sin has been put on there---then put to death---and then a new life given me which is one with the Lord Jesus! I LOVE how this gives everyone a new level playing field!  

 As much as we "see" we can claim to be ours at that very moment!  No wonder the Lord had Moses erect the pole in the wilderness and put a serpent on it; and then tell everyone, "Look and Live!" Look and see how your old, ugly self has been put there! REALLY SEE that and you will LIVE!  It's the good land--our inheritance to walk about in right now while we live on this earth. We simply co-operate with HIS working in us, and gain  the victories He has won!

Another small book called "Victory in Christ" by Charles Trumbull has reaffirmed this truth.  "My grace "IS" (present tense) sufficient for you."

These 2 books, put together with what I have digested from Dan Mohler and Tod White have been such a help in my ability to pray in the secret place...my prayer closet (the car while driving or the treadmill while walking works for me lately.)

Adding to the above, I have been convicted afresh to hide God's Word within me, and therefore have committed to heart, Psalms 103, 25, 34 and 46.  Some are a review...but at this point I can pray through them without looking and the reality of the Lord's Presence while I do this has at times  been almost overwhelming!! I am so very sold on this activity! (good for my aging brain too!)

This also is helping me to pray, to declare with hope, over  saints at Faith, and other loved ones in our lives-- even when some may not yet be living with much victory in the new creation that our Lord has purchased for them.
