Jesus doesn’t reign in some political system or church denomination, He is reigning in you and me! If you are born again, His peace, righteousness and joy are now a part of your life. There may be darkness all around you, but you are light because the light giver has His home within you. There may be curses all around you but you are blessed! There may be bondage all around you but you are free!

You have the name of JESUS, and every demonic entity and work MUST bow to that name. Don’t get involved in dialogs and methods! When you get this clearly fixed in your thinking, these things will bow at your command because you’re not backing down. Every foe of the plans and purposes of God—sickness, demons, lack, oppression and fear, in all their forms—is under Jesus’ feet, and YOU are the one with the dominion!

Jesus took our shame, guilt and inferiority and replaced it with His righteousness, position and power before God. Protect your self-esteem, because it will surely be tested and bruised. Preserve your value, for the empty crowd will try to trample it under the boots of their insecurities. Find your health and wholeness by enjoying the New Creation life of Christ that He has invited you to enjoy with Him!

As you begin this week, remember the wonderful things that God has done for you. Every one of us who are born again have “super” living in our natural! The supernatural is Christ indwelling our natural flesh, making ALL things possible!

Salvation means so much more than being heaven bound and saved from eternal judgment. Yes, salvation is deliverance from sin—but that deliverance doesn’t stop there! It brings with it healing for our bodies, peace for our minds, joy in our soul, and the confident awareness that we are loved, protected and cared for beyond any human ability. This is New Creation living!

When you allow Christ to transform your life through His Word, you’ll start to experientially know what it means to abide in Him and Him in you. You’ll begin to demonstrate the life a new creation is meant to live in the earth, and the world will come running to know what you have!

When you speak what God says, meditating on the verses and allowing the Lord to write them on your heart, the power of His Word works in you and through you to push out the wrong thinking habits of the old man. Eventually there’s no old man left, and you’re living and walking in the real, New Creation you!

If you are a follower of Christ, then you have His life in you and everything included with it. You have His model of supernatural life, His expectation of answered prayer, His righteous stand before God without shame, guilt, or sin, His heart for lost humanity, His call to give away His free life to others, His victory over the devil, sickness, inferiority and lack. Anything of the curse, you have dominion over!

Because you have the Spirit of God in you—you’re in Christ and He’s in you—you are now the light of the world. You have the dominion and are called to decree the gospel of the kingdom—what Jesus accomplished—and are to speak it so captives are set free, and people are healed and made whole!

Our New Creation life holds no more uncertainty about our future, or of any repercussions from our past. We live in the NOW, allowing GOD to work in us and transform us into the image of Christ.  “And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image” (2 Cor 3:18 NLT).
