Heavenly Beings in the Flesh: Knowing Yourself as a New Creation in Christ

Core Message

Your identity and spiritual power depend entirely on knowing yourself as a new creation in Christ according to the Spirit rather than the flesh, which determines your prayer posture, your ability to receive from God, and your authority as His ambassador.

Key Scripture

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

3 Key Takeaways

1. The posture from which you approach God in prayer is more foundational than the words you pray; a wrong posture makes even a correct prayer ineffective.
2. The moment you look at yourself, others, or God's vessels according to the flesh, you disqualify yourself from receiving anything divine because the flesh profits nothing.
3. After being born again, you must know yourself as the righteousness of God in Christ, not as a sinner, because calling yourself a sinner contradicts what Jesus became on your behalf.

Prayer Focus

Pray that the Holy Spirit would transform your mind and deepen your experiential knowledge of who you truly are in Christ, so that you approach God with the posture of a righteous child rather than a condemned sinner.
