As I was getting ready to write the blog, I felt a tugging from the Holy Spirit to write these words as encouragement to you. May this short entry bless you and release you into all that Christ has for you!
I heard this phrase:
“I am making all things new.”
The enemy has tried to steal what is rightfully yours. Do not believe his schemes as he attempts to revert you back to old habits and destructive thought processes. He is a liar! Recognize this truth: You are washed in the blood of the Lamb – redeemed, purified, and set apart for My purposes. Nothing can separate you from My love; this is a firm foundation you can stand on.
I have removed your heart of stone and have given you a heart of flesh. You are a new creation! Rebuke the spirit of despondency that disillusions you. Realize that all guilt, condemnation, and shame are attempts to thwart you from fully living for Me.
Shout for joy because the old is gone, and the NEW IS HERE! Yes, my child, that includes you – because you are in Me. Remain in my love and live out who you are supposed to be.
God bless you, in Jesus’ Name!

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. – Isaiah 43:18-19
… He {Satan} was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. – John 8:44
In him {Christ} we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us. – Ephesians 1:7-8
… ‘Absolutely nothing’ will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:39 (see 31-39)
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. – Ezekiel 36:26
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! – 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death – Romans 8:1-2
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. – John 15:9
The mind is a battlefield, yet I cling to the truth, who the Son has set free is free indeed.
Amen!
It is so reassuring to know that we are children of God and that He takes care of us. I declare that I am a new creature in the Lord in the name of Jesus.
Thank you Pastor for these messages which remind us of our Identity as a child of God
God bless you
Randy,
Yes! Our identity is crucial to understanding our place with God and who He has created to be. By being a new creation, nothing from the past is associated with where we are now & what Christ has for us going forward. Thank the Lord!
