For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Hebrews 9:13-14.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
We are still looking at the reward of living your purpose and plan by the power of the Holy Spirit in you and on you. And it all comes from being in Christ. Today I want to look at the fact that in Christ you have passed from death to LIFE.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24
So it is time you stopped taking out dead things to play with them, they will contaminate you. Under the Old Covenant I warned them strictly that touching dead things would contaminate them and the Old Covenant is a shadow of the reality I reveal to you in Christ.
Anyone who touches a corpse, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him. Numbers 19:13.
Depart, depart, go out from there, touch nothing unclean; go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD. Isaiah 52:11.
Always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:10.
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.
Listen to Me now and understand. Under the New Covenant your sins are dead, they are gone. They are not just forgiven or covered over, they are dead and gone. Buried with Christ you died to your sins and former manner of life and were raised in newness of life as a NEW CREATION in Christ.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Your sins, your deeds of the flesh, the old you, the debt you owed Me was nailed to the cross. He BECAME SIN—He took all your sins off you, past, present and future. He died in time as Son of Man but He died outside of time in the spirit as Son of God. He took every sin. He became sin and sin died on the cross. He took your sins on Himself and became sin—past, present and future. They are GONE. So don’t keep pulling out your past and playing with dead things, they are not there anymore, THEY DIED WHEN HE DIED AND YOU DIED WITH HIM TO SIN.
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Romans 6:3-4.
You are alive in Christ. And since you are alive in Him with My life and righteousness you are NOT dead anymore in your sins. The wages of sin is DEATH but Jesus took that death and My gift to you in Jesus is ETERNAL LIFE. You are alive in Christ because in Him all sin and death is gone. He did not just take your sins, He became SIN and got that out of you! Stop tormenting yourself with your past sins and your present ones as well. They are dead, bury them, and go forward in newness of life. You are under grace, My life in you, and sin is NOT your master anymore. You have passed from death to life.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21.
Christ took the sins, He took the death, and He made you ALIVE. Sin is over in your life.
FOR THE DEATH THAT HE DIED, HE DIED TO SIN ONCE FOR ALL; BUT THE LIFE THAT HE LIVES, HE LIVES TO GOD. EVEN SO CONSIDER YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD TO SIN, BUT ALIVE TO GOD IN CHRIST JESUS. ROMANS 6:10-11.
You are LIVING with My life in you and there is no unrighteousness in Me.
When He died, you died in Him. When He rose, you rose in Him. Everything in your life that was dead is GONE. You have beauty for your ashes. Because He lives you live. Sin is dead, gone—past, present and future sins are GONE too for those who are IN CHRIST.
For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Romans 5:6-11.
Even if you do it tomorrow it is DEAD because you are in Christ.
But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 John 1:7-9; 1 John 2:1-2.
Your old self, the sinner, was crucified with Christ and you are no longer the old you, you have been transformed from death to life. Stop playing with dead things and move on to who you really are IN CHRIST. Let Him live BIG in you.
For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin. Romans 6:5-7.
You are ALIVE. That is grace. That is MY LIFE in you. You are no longer dead in sin anymore. You are alive. Sin is dead and gone like it NEVER happened in Christ.
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14.
That is why you are to FORGET what lies behind and press forward to your high calling in Christ, seated above with Me in Him as My masterpiece, created anew in Him for the life of good deeds I prepared for you in advance that you might enjoy them—days of Heaven on earth even now for you are ALIVE.
Have you ever heard how they will mix and master a sound recording of a song? There may be wrong notes or background noise, even a siren going by, and the process of mixing and mastering edits out those mistakes, interference, breaks, bumps, and distractions until there is nothing but pure and perfect song with no note out of tune or static with background interference. That is what I have done with the sin in you. It is like it never was. You are now My masterpiece created in Christ Jesus in the perfection of goodness.
Your life can be beautiful now. The sin is dead. Stop bringing the old man up in your mind to relive the sins, the shame, the abuse, the mistakes made, the opportunities lost—those things are dead, buried with Christ and gone. DO NOT PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS. They will contaminate your new life and draw you back into the miry clay. You are no longer trapped by the flesh, you are in the Spirit now. My Spirit is living in your born again spirit. The past is over. All that is dead. It is like it never happened. Instead it is Christ in you, your hope of glory. To live is Christ and to die is gain!
It is no longer you who live but Christ in you who lives. The old you is dead, you do not want to play with it anymore. It is gone as if it never happened. You are a new creation in Christ, everything is dead that was wrong. You are new. It is time to step up and sing a new song.
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; many will see and fear and will trust in the LORD. Psalm 40:2-3.
O sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him. The LORD has made known His salvation; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Psalm 98:1-3.
When those dead things rise up in you to pull you towards the darkness and death, stand up and face them and say, “You have died and you are staying dead, you will never live in me again. You are dead and you are gone! All things are new for me in Christ Jesus my Lord.”
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20.
Through one man, Adam, sin entered the world and with sin death and it passed down to all men born of Adam, but now through one man, the second and last Adam, sin was done away with and eternal life came into all those who are born again in Him. In Adam all died but in Christ all live. I love you. YOU ARE NO LONGER ADAM’S FAMILY PLAYING WITH DEAD THINGS, YOU ARE MY FAMILY IN CHRIST FILLED WITH NEWNESS OF LIFE – LIFE IN ABUNDANCE. You are in a new bloodline, and it is pure, not contaminated by sin, but as if sin had never been. The life is in the blood. He made peace through the blood of the Cross and made you holy, blameless and without reproach before Me for you are in Him and His life is in you.
After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. John 14:19.
