He has given us the ministry of reconciliation. He has made us ambassadors. We are New Creations. And the same grace that changed how the Father sees us has to change how we see one another. So when prodigals come home, let’s make sure they encounter the Father in us, not the older brother. Because New Creations don't just receive restoration. New Creations have been given a ministry of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (AMP) “We walk by faith, not by sight, LIVING OUR LIVES in a manner CONSISTENT with our CONFIDENT BELIEF in God’s promises” Hebrews 11:1 (paraphrase) FAITH is the assurance of THINGS, we hope for FAITH is the proof of THINGS we do not see FAITH perceives as REAL FACT what is not revealed to the senses Think about it, does God actually expect us to live our lives according to the promises He’s left us? To live outside this natural realm? To govern our lives in accordance with His Word?

John 6:38 (NKJV) “For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME.” Like Peter, as long as I’m here I’m going to remind you of these truths, we cannot follow Jesus and disregard how many people received healing according to their faith.

NEW CREATION isn’t something God does for us but in us. Christianity is 100% God made! Our responsibility is accepting it, then yielding to our new lives. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God IN HIM. (NLT) For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the OFFERING for our sin, so that we COULD BE MADE RIGHT with God through Christ. (MSG) IN CHRIST, God put the wrong on Him who never did anything wrong, so we could BE PUT RIGHT WITH GOD.

NEW CREATION— (Gr. Kainos) brand new, unprecedented and superior This is something God alone can do in us. This isn't just turning over a new leaf or getting your act together. NEW CREATION isn’t something God does for us but in us. MSG- Now we see that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start and is created new. The old life is gone; a new life emerges! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and Him. In Ephesians, Paul tells us to put off the old man and put on the new man, who was created according to God, in righteousness and holiness. SPIRIT— our NEW CREATION SOUL— our will and emotions BODY— our earth vessel, God’s temple

John 20:30-31 (NKJV) And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that BELIEVING you may have life in His name. John’s revelation from the Father is that “The Word” is in fact the self-existent God Himself.

Romans 6:3-4 (NLT) Have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in BAPTISM, we joined Him in His death? For we died and were buried with Christ by BAPTISM. And JUST AS Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, NOW WE ALSO MAY LIVE NEW LIVES. Just like Jesus was raised, so are we, called to live life like Him, and it all starts with each of us embracing our NEW CREATION. Baptism is this beautiful acknowledgment of The Father, The Son, Holy Spirit, and YOU

John 1:1 (NKJV) “In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.” Remember, THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD Jesus is the WILL OF GOD on display in a human, born of the Spirit. So when we FOLLOW Jesus through the scriptures, He’s without question showing us what the Father’s will is. “If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father”

REVELATION CHANGES WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU SEE GOD AS YOUR SOURCE, YOU SEE MONEY DIFFERENTLY

When it comes to following Jesus, more specifically concerning our topic, the first thing any disciple has to get settled is the reality that God’s word is exactly that: GOD SPEAKING TO HIS CREATION. Which means that if we’re ever going to get to the place where we minister healing like Jesus did, this is foundational. THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD

Let’s start with what Jesus told us about tithing. Remember, Jesus is the One who told us, “Give to Caesar things that are Caesar’s and GIVE TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD’S.” Leviticus 27:30 (NKJV) “ALL THE TITHE of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, IS THE LORD’S. It is HOLY to the Lord.” Listen to what Jesus said: “Give to God the things that are God’s.”

You’ve heard me use this phrase so many times, “Until you see it, you don’t,” because by design God created His word to be a living, continually progressive reality that becomes real to each of His children according to their own pace. Remember, Jesus told us, “With the measure you use it, it’ll be measured back to you.” As a matter of fact the Lord told us that as we make ourselves available to Him through His word, our minds become renewed so that we can prove what is the perfect will of God in our own lives.

1 John 2:3-6 (NKJV) Now BY THIS we know that we know Him, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 4, He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5, But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6, He who says he ABIDES in Him ought himself also to walk JUST AS HE WALKED. Knowing about Jesus is in no way the same as knowing Him.
