Sunday, November 29, 2009
2CO 5:17, Therefore if any one is in Christ [and they are], [he is] a new creature; the old [things] have lost their power; the old [things - not in the Greek] have lost their power; behold or [now hear this], the new has come [something that has never existed before].
a. One of the the new things which have come The baptism of the Spirit which results in the creation of a new spiritual species and the royal family of God.
b. You have been initiated into the PPOG and have a personal sense of destiny which is unique for the royal family of God only.
LUK 14:27, “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.”
c. You also have a phenomenal portfolio of invisible assets which belongs to you as a member of the royal family of God.
In your portfolio of invisible assets God provided everything necessary for the function in living, dying, eternity, growing in grace, and the execution and fulfillment of the PPOG.

When Adam and the woman sinned, they knew that they had turned against their loving Creator by doubting His words and not listening to His instructions.
