The Daily Blueprint for 1-2-08
BRAND NEW: A NEW YEAR - A NEW START
part 4
Ephesians 4:22-24
...That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind: And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
The first day of 2008 is now completed - do you feel like anything has changed? Its really hard to gage much with just 24 hours of 2008 being completed. It hard to tell what the year has for us in the other 364 days we have left - but I do know this - I had a most blessed time in God's word this morning - I must confess I have not read the Word as much as I should in 2007 and it hurt me in many ways - so I made it a point to being 2008 in the Word and in much prayer - and God revealed much to me in just one day! Praise God - one thing is I am going to take a much needed break from the ministry to recharge and seek God more closely - God has done so many amazing things in 2007 and I look forward to what He has planned for this brand new year!
Paul tells us to put on the new man - which is Christ- we must put on the new man in order to live forever with Him - and to have our sins taken away - for if we stay in the old flesh -the unredeemed flesh -we have no hope any long - if we live to ourselves -we cannot also please God - we must make a choice to put on the new man! The old man is just passing away - actually he is already dead in his sins - but the new man is a live now that we have come to know Jesus the Lord! We have put on the new man and the old corruption is now gone - the old man is dead! Praise God - but while we live in this world we will have the flesh we must contend with - at any moment we can go right back to living like we did before we knew Christ if we don't have an intimate relationship with Him - I have seen many walk away from Christ and that breaks my heart - but the good news in Christ is at any moment they can once again put on the new man! Lets make it point to walk in the new man - to ware the new clothes of salvation - maybe your faith has gotten stale - maybe you don't know Christ like you should - there is always hope- today you can be brand new once again -just put on CHRIST and you will be good as new!
a side note: Christ came so that we could be brand new in HIM!
in CHRIST our old clothes have traded for new clothes!
