RIGHTEOUSNESS NATURE

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

The problem of sin is not just an act but a nature. Sin is a nature in the unsaved. That is why just a decision to stop doing something cannot suffice because sin is who you are if you are not born again. In the same vein, for the believer, there is a new nature called the nature of righteousness which you received at salvation. You are not a refurbished person at salvation, you are a new creation. This literally means that you are now a new specie of being that has not existed before. That is the mystery of righteousness. While you are seeing yourself as someone that just believed in Yahushua as Lord, the real fact is that you are a new creation that does not have a past. That is because your past was crucified with HaMashiach on Calvary. So, quit feeling the pain of what you did in the past, the record no longer exist at that point you believed and confessed with your mouth the Lordship of HaMashiach, your past was wiped out. You are now a new creation, a new specie of being that has no past. That is not all. You now have a new nature and that is the nature of Yahweh, the nature of righteousness. This new nature is what makes it possible for you to be able to stand before Yahweh sinless and able to accommodate divine presence. This nature of righteousness is why you can live a holy life. Without being righteous, you cannot live righteous. Your being determines your doing. Why does a lion roar? Because he is a lion and it is in his nature to roar. Why does a sinner commit sin? Because he is a sinner and sin is his nature.

The challenge with many people is that they never renewed their mind to align with this nature of righteousness in their spirit. You became a new creation spiritually, in your spirit-man. That did not affect your mind. It is you that will have to do something to your mind by renewing it with the Word of Yahweh. It is your responsibility to control your body by the Word. You have the nature of righteousness in your spirit but for you to live it out, you must renew your mind with the Word and discipline your body to conform to the Word. Romans 12:1-2 says, “1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed 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.”

This is the missing link in the lives of so many children of Yahweh. They are new creation, all right but they are not renewing their minds and surely not presenting their bodies a living sacrifice, so there is no expression to the nature of righteousness on their inside. Wake up!

REMEMBER: New birth brings you into the nature of righteousness.

CONFESSION: I am the righteousness of Yahweh in HaMashiach with the nature of righteousness. My mind is constantly being renewed by the Word and my body disciplined to align with the Word. Glory be Yahweh!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your liberty from the corrupting influences of this world now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
