What Is The New Alignment of the New Man

Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Receiving Christ is the word “paralambano”

Lambano is to physically get something, possessing something and making it our very own. Our American “receive' is a mental ascent..its just lip service. The “receiving” of the Bible says “Hey baby, this is all mine!” This must be the breakthrough that we get into our new identity who is Christ. We must not give up until the old man like Jack in Titanic ( Leo De Caprio) finally sinks dead, and out of sight in the cold Atlantic waters. This is the first breakthrough. This is called to break free Then Christ must be fully grabbed, put on like brand new clothes

7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Here is our new identity. The “rooted” is in the perfect tense. This means that once and for all we must be and remain firmly rooted, hooked into, and receive all our vitality and nutrients from the New Man Christ. Our identity must be totally conformed into and around this New Man. This is the second breakthrough. Graham Cooke calls the first breakthrough breaking free. He calls the second breakthrough, staying free.

The built and stablished are in the present tense. This describes a continuing and progressive work. Once that our identity gets hooked into the new man, then this new man, must continually be built in our lives from day to day. Its like building a massive skyscraper on the Miami skyline from day to day until its fully built.

The “stablished” is the word steerizo which is something massive, firm, stable, strong, “iron like”, unshakable and immovable.

This is the completion of our new identity. Ever last thing that we must do must align with our new identity. Much of this new identity is revealed through the study of God's word. This is why we must be students of God's word.

We Must Live Out of Fullness and Not Out of Need

Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Dwelleth, is defined as something which abides in comfort and rest.... such as being “at home.”
The world fullness is the word pleroma.

Fullness, is defined as the identity which makes something to be what it is in this universe different from something else. Fulness are all of the ingredients and attributes which make up an object and make it different to any other object. Christ IS ALL of the attributes and ingredients which makes God to be God, comfortably dwelling in us. He then has the ability to make God visible or manifested to us and in us. This is what it means “the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Verse 10 literally means, that you are completely filled with this fullness of God in you, once and for all eternity.

We do not come from a position of having to get the victory. The victory has already been won. It must simply be revealed. We must live from the position of having the won victory revealed in us.

We do not come from a position of having to get the riches of God. We already have all the riches. They simply need to be revealed.

Likewise, our identity as the fullness of God completely formed. dispersed, and filled within us must be simply revealed by our asking God. We must learn to live out of a position and alignment that all that we need, all the victories, and all of the riches, have been already completely given to us, and we are already filled with them and they remain full in us forevermore. What we need is revelation, not more things.

Eph 1:3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

The words “who hath blessed us” are in the accusative case which is the grammatical case of effect or a final goal. For simplicity's sake let me say that the goal or the funneling power of all of God's blessings is the church. You and I are the receptacle. God has funneled all that He is and all that He has into us. Every fullness and completion of every blessing, and riches ,and benefits have already been funneled into you and me. We are in a state of being completely full, and satiated and saturated with all that we need. We just need to get tons of revelation. This is our new identity and this is what we must align every imagination and thought with. We must operate out of a state of fulness.

This is the second breakthrough, to be molded into this new man.

Ro 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

The Good Measure, Pressed Down, Shaken Together & Running Over Anointing

Lu 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

During our prayer meeting last night I realized that the “good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over,” is an anointing that we can enter in, receive, and operate in, if we are givers by the Spirit of God.

You need to get into the habit of continually sowing by the rhema word of God to see the experiential reality of this. I must confess that I have not seen this because, I am not a great sower. Yes, I give, but I still have fear and I still count my chickens before they hatch, so to speak, when it comes to money. Yet, God revealed this to me and I am excited, and at the same time a bit fearful, which I know it’s not from the Lord. 


Give, and it shall be given unto you; Is in the present tense. We must be giving so that it is given back.

Pressed down, and shaken together; are both in the perfect, passive participle order. This grammatical combination is the most powerful indication of existence, realm, state, or reality in the Greek. In other words, if you are an active sower, the reality or the anointing surrounding your life will be one where God is giving back to you in a manner where blessings are being pressed together and shaken or sifted so He can give you more. This will become your natural mode of living.

The running over or overflowing is in the present signifying a continuous process.

How would you like to live in this mode of receiving from the Lord, and I am not just talking about money. This is God's natural way of being. God is a God of infinite abundance that must be entered into by ever increasing faith on our part. Our hindrance is our unrenewed mind.

Where Christ Is

Col 3:1  If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, WHERE THE CHRIST IS, on the right hand of God seated,

AW Robertson, the great Greek scholar calls this, “the condition of the first class;” or as something that is assumed as being true. Paul, as he wrote this assumes that you and I are endeavoring to live WHERE THE CHRIST IS. In other words, our reality must be that we have risen with Christ from the dead. Since Christ lives up in heaven, we must live where He lives.

Joh 14:3 And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.

Ph3: 20 (AV) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

The kingdom of heaven is a future paradigm as well as it is a present one. Though physically we live on the earth our life is up in heaven. We are transformed by what is called the “reckoning of faith.”

Rom 4:9 ¶ Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Reckoning simply means that what we believe about the Word and receive it, which in the Greek means to make it into our own and to walk in it, it then manifests physically through our lives. The whole Christian life is one of believing first spiritually the position that we have in Christ. What we have believed then becomes physically manifested in this world. This is because faith is a law.

Rom 3:27 Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

We must reckon from the things which are in heaven and not on earth, WHERE THE CHRIST IS.

Ph3: 20 (AV) For our conversation IS in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

“IS in heaven” Paul does not use the simple word for “IS” in this scripture but uses the word “Huparcho”, which speaks about belongings and possessions. Simply speaking, our reality, our mode of being and thus our behaving and all of our possessions are found WHERE THE CHRIST IS.

Phil 3:21 who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.

The Greek says' Who will change the schematics of the body of our humiliation so that it can adopt the same form of the body of His glory. Whereas form has to do with inward change, schematic is more so seen in the outward physical changes, tangible to the 5 senses. In the ploys of the enemy we see many outward and visible transformations, to the physical senses of people. This is why the world gets so easily deceived by what devil brings through our physical senses.

2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves (SCHEMATIC) into the apostles of Christ.

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed (SCHEMATIC) into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed (SCHEMATIC) as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Php 3:21 Who shall change (SCHEMATIC) our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body ( THE BODY OF HIS GLORY), according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed (SCHEMATIC) to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It is amazing then that Paul in Philippians 3:21 can that that the more that we live out of our heavenly possessions, even the schematic of our physical bodies can begin to experience transformational change son this side of heaven through miraculous healing and so forth.

”According to the working of his power”; Literally :According to the energy of His being able. As I taught yesterday, dunamis power is power in ability or success. The energy inside Christ makes all things able.The more that we live WHERE THE CHRIST IS the more that we will see all things being made able.

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed (SCHEMATIC) to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We see the same word for schematic also in Romans 12:2
Literally:
Do not assume the schematic of this present age dispensation but be metamorphosized by the renewing of your minds....then you will be able to know the good and acceptable and mature will of God.

When we are reckoning every possession, every behavior and even every thought from the place WHERE THE CHRIST IS, Christ truly puts off our old man. The schematic of our whole life and even our body progressively changes.

2 Cor 3L18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed ( METAMORPHOSIS) into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The open face is in one which has nothing to hide. It talks about total obedience and total openness to the Lord. The perfect tense of this grammatical structure describes a permanent state. Paul assumes that as believers we live in a continual state of obedience and openness to our Lord.

“Beholding as in a glass” Literally means “down looking” This is a word for a mirror. The more intently that we gaze at our appearance in a mirror, the more that we will see and depict and analyze our own reflection.

The more that we dwell in the place WHERE THE CHRIST IS the more we will be down looking ( intently focusing) at the place where His transcendental glory dwells , the more that we will be able to capture the reflection of His glory and the more that we will be metamorphosied into the BODY OF HIS GLORY.

These things can more definitely commence to happen now, here on earth.

Everything has to do with intensity of our focus to live in the place WHERE THE CHRIST IS.

Let the Accused of the Lord Say So!

Eph 1:3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us (ACCUSATIVE CASE) with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

In the Greek, the accusative case is just what it says. The accusing finger points towards an object that will receive all judgment, sentence, or wrath. It’s a repository into where all is focused towards, pointed to, our poured out into.

If we turn this into to something good, the object, placed in the grammatical accusative case, is the one to whom all benefits are dedicated to.

The church in Ephesians 1:3,  is the accused object to whom all of God's love, blessings, benefits, all that He is, and all the He wants to do,  has His big finger pointed at. In today’s technical language, the church is God’s dedicated or isolated line. I call the church (that’s you and me), the container which God funnels all into, and which He pours all abundantly upon.  

 It’s up to us to increase our ability to receive more, and more, and more in proportion to a mind that is renewed to think in impossibilities, transcendentally and without limitations.

We are the objects of His love, we have been translated into kingdom of The Son, of His Love, and we are His beloved. 

You think about that today.

What Are Miracles?

1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations <1755>, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

1Co 12:10 To another the working <1755> of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

Working or operations are the visible completed manifestations, results, or things effected to the human eye of what has has been energized or worked into a person by the Holy Spirit through prayer or decrees. This is also called a miracle. Strong's number 1755 only appears twice in the the whole Bible. It is the word “energematon” or the completed, tangible and visible result of what has been activated or energized inwardly by the Spirit of the living God.

There is a faith level which our renewed mind will begin to operate in to see physical manifestation happen. 


God has already provided the “energematon”. Its our faith level that needs to get to that point.

You Are A Dispenser of God's Healing Medicines

1 Cor 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
the gifts of healing - “ Charismata iamaton”

The more powerful word for healing in the NT is the word “iaomai”. Apart from a gradual healing this word talks more about a cure.

In 1Cor 12:9 Paul uses the word “iamaton” which only appears three times in the whole Bible. “Iamaton” is a noun and instead of dealing with the curing of a person as a verb, it basically describes the medicine (noun) that effected the cure.

When you are praying for people realize that when the Lord uses you in healing your are dispensing through your hands the medicines of God to effect the cure. Its all a matter of faith.

When you are operating in the gifts of cures or “curing medicines” you must operated in a faith level to know that the person will be cured because you are releasing the perfect spiritual medicine.
