Former things are past away.
Rev. Peter Tuchyna
Living in the future now. Revelation 21:1-27
New Jerusalem
Jesus revealed unto us that we can be a temple of God and that an eternal Spirit of God can dwell in us.
Every individual who is willing to give his life to God. may have this experience..
We can be today in God exactly what we want to be. All we need to do is to submit ourselves to Him.
When we do submit to Him, we give God the right to put us onto his Potter’s wheel and to make us what He wants us to be.
We profess by our own mouth that we love and appreciate Jesus, that we want his will to be done in our lives and when He begins to shape us in removing all ugliness from our lives , our character and attitude, we feel not only uncomfortable but we fight, kick, resist, hinder and rebel against God and His instrument.
God wants us to be ready in season and out of season.
When man and women is born again, the former things are past away and behold all things are become new.
The check must be made whether I still live in former conversation
Lifestyle, Habits
Ways, Mindset
Attitude, responses,
Desires, motives etc.
or in a new life and identity?
The way from former to a new life goes through trials, tests, hindrances, struggles and in some cases even through persecutions.
The Lord Jesus Christ gave us promise that through any and every temptation he will be with us and that he will make a way of escape for us.
Did Jesus ever brake his promise, changed his mind or simply forgot what he said?
In the time of testing and the greatest trials, suddenly out of nowhere the refreshing Spirit of God comes upon us and we feel fresh anointing touching our lives and our trials seems to grow smaller.
The anointing breaks the yoke!
Whatever happens to us, whatever comes against us is irrelevant. We need fresh anointing, the refreshing presence of the Lord touching our soul daily for in the fresh anointing the yoke surrounding our life shall be broken.
The reason that some souls are defeated is that they pay more attention to their afflictions than to the fresh anointing of the Lord.
They are speaking more about themselves and heir misery and more about others than professing and confessing the Word of God.
Bible declares that the power of death and life is in our tongue.
The revelation John received from God was in the place (Pathmos) where he was sent to wax away, to be forgotten, to be brought into despair and to be defeated and eliminated from influencing others.This something, he never experienced and dreamed of before.
In the place of separation, loneliness and rejection John experienced something; he never experienced and dreamed of before.
Jesus reached towards him when nobody else could. In the place of separation and loneliness the Lord Jesus gave John a revelation of his (God’s) glory and power not only for himself but for the benefit of all like precious faith, experience and tribulation.
God revealed unto us that the devil is the Father of lies.
If we would pay attention to him we would be deceived.
If we would believe him, we would believe lies.
If we would believe lies, we would become one for the Word of God declares: as man thinketh in his heart so is he.
To believe lie means that I sold my life, soul to lie.
John experiencing the persecution and loneliness in exile chose not to believe lie.
He believed that Jesus loves him, that soon the trial will be over. He believed that Jesus was with him, that he is watching, his hand of protection is with him and that the lord will intervene soon.
In the greatest trials – God is giving the greatest revelations.
The enlightenments of the revelation of God’s love and glory in Jesus make our trials and tribulations a fresh experience of God’s salvation.
When the devil things that he gained control over us God is giving us a new revelation, which sparks in us a fresh source of hope, faith and inner strength.
The devil is attempting to separate us from God and his church (body).
Not giving in to the lies of the devil – God is giving us a new revelation, a new beginning, a new anointing, which breaks the yoke.
People walking with God are elevated from the devil’s intended trials into the realm of the supernatural.
Most professed believers are not believers at all, unless we would put them into the category of believers of doubt.
For as soon as the trials come
sickness comes
employment is gone
their monies are gone
their hobby, holiday is gone…
they are grumpy, cheerless, snappy, jealous, sarcastic, easily offended, careless towards others and sadly many are walking away from Jesus and his church not allowing Jesus to give them a new revelation and to perform a miracle.
Without a test there is no testimony.
Without trials, desperate circumstances and experiences there is no miracle
Without death there is no resurrection.
Without slavery there is no deliverance.
Without the lack of bread there is no miracle of multiplication.
Without a sickness there is no healing.
Without separation there is no reunion.
God is more desperate to perform and to give us a miracle, than we are willing to accept trials.
The devil would like us to believe that our days are over.
He would like us to put our brother down rather than to lift Jesus higher.
He would like us to pay attention to our wounds rather than to look at Jesus’ healing
He would like us to pay attention to the faults of our brother rather than to the perfection of Jesus.
He would like us to remember the offence of our brother rather than the forgiveness of Jesus.
He would like us to look back to the past of our brother rather than into the future with Jesus.
He would like us to remember the smell of onion in Egypt rather than to think about the streets of gold in heaven.
Why does a man profess Jesus and resist him then at the same time?
