A NEW CREATION!
Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
My dearly Beloved,
Have you ever noticed how nature takes on a new look every time there is a change in seasons? The old is gone and nature looks as new as ever almost as if it has just been created. That is exactly what happens when we make Jesus our Lord and Savior. He transforms you into a new person and furthermore, He gives you a new beginning for every new season in your life.
Let us examine a daily occurrence in our lives, where a shopkeeper accepts a soiled hundred-rupee note while we pay for the purchases we make. The value of the soiled note is same as the new one. Likewise, you and I may be saying, Oh, I am a sinner and am struggling with these problems; Im alone. Everyone despises me
Whatever is your condition, you are still special in the sight of the Lord. He values you more than the birds of the air and the lilies of the field just as the Bible verse says in Matthew 6:26. Man looks at the face; but the Lord looks at our heart (I Samuel 16:7). When we confess our sins to the Lord, He forgives our sins. Besides, He is faithful and just to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
There are several Bible verses that tell us of this truth. Here are some of them that you can hold on to:
I Corinthians 1:8: "
who (the Lord Jesus Christ) will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."
II Timothy 2:13: Our God confirms us to the end. If we are faithless, He remains faithful." In Him are all the treasures.
My beloved, when you see the wondrous work of the Lord in changing the life of and making the husband of sister Vasanthi into a new creation, it will surely encourage all of you who are praying for the transformation of your loved ones. The husband of this sister was totally addicted to alcohol. She had two young children, a son who was suffering from epilepsy and a daughter. Because of her husbands addiction she was unable to take care of her children due to lack of finances. In this situation, she lost her son and was afraid she may lose her daughter as well, so she sent her daughter away to her sisters place. During this time, one day she was watching the Jesus Calls TV program in which I was ministering the Word of God. At that time, I was prompted to pray for deliverance from alcoholism by the Holy Spirit. That very instant, Vasanthis husband was totally delivered and healed from alcoholism. What an amazing touch from Lord Jesus!
Dearly beloved, if you are caught up in any sinful habit, the Lord will deliver you from every evil addiction and slavery to sin, giving you complete victory as the Bible says in II Corinthians 5:17, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things pass away and He makes everything new. He makes us inherit everything. He will fill you with the Spirit of the Lord and divine joy.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, I ask You to cleanse me with Your blood and uproot every evil addiction of this world from within me totally. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and lead me in Your holy and righteous way. Help me to live a victorious life in this evil world for Your name sake. Transform me to be like You and live a life that glorifies You. Thank You Lord for hearing my prayers and making me new. Thank You and Bless You Lord!
In Jesus name
Amen!
