In Christ I am: NEW CREATION<\/u><\/em>
\nTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.\u00a0 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Believers, the moment we believed and received Christ we became new creations.\u00a0 God\u2019s creative power came upon us and all our old things passed away\u2014thoughts, wants, desires, things we used to do and say, all deemed old, for we were born again, new born babes in Christ, eager to learn and grow.\u00a0 Do you remember that time?\u00a0 It was a glorious moment!<\/p>\n

Yet, as time goes by those old things that passed away somehow sometimes get resurrected by our flesh or by satan, they start trying to come back upon us, but we can fight them off with the Holy Spirit power that is in us and the knowledge that they are no longer a part of us, for we are new creations with new thoughts and desires, covered with the blood of Christ, walking in the Spirit, and seeking to do God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n

A new creation can never be what it was before, so don\u2019t be deceived by satan or tempted by your old fleshy nature, you are new and old things are passed away, live and enjoy every moment of your new life in Christ!<\/p>\n

Look in the mirror and recite this to yourself everyday:\u00a0 I am a new creation in Christ, the old things in me have passed away, and all things in me have become new. <\/em><\/p>\n
