Jesus brought a new kind of love into the world, a love that is pure, holy and divine. The thing people have called love has been nothing more than sexual attraction. Hardly any higher than that which is seen in the animal world. God is love and so the new birth is the impartation of… Continue reading A new kind of love

Jesus at the Right Hand of the Father
Several times, the Word tells us that Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3 is a good illustration: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged… Continue reading Jesus at the Right Hand of the Father
“It Is Finished”
Probably no other scripture has been more misunderstood than the one that Jesus uttered on the cross: “It is finished” (John 19:30). If it was finished, he certainly did not suffer after he died “in his soul and body”, because then he would have been tormented in hell. When He said it was finished! He… Continue reading “It Is Finished”
The Rest of Redemption
Few of us know the reality of the rest mentioned in Hebrews 4:1: “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.” When Jesus had finished His work, He sat down at “the right hand of the Majesty on… Continue reading The Rest of Redemption
Believing in His Substitution
When we use the fact of His substitution like we would an elevator, then the Word becomes a reality. We never think of faith when we take an elevator. We simply use it. When we are new creation-conscious, just as we use our physical senses to walk in the world, then we would walk in… Continue reading Believing in His Substitution
What Repentance Means
The problem of repentance in the face of modern preaching is a serious one. Look at the meaning of the word that was used by Peter on the day of Pentecost: “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the… Continue reading What Repentance Means
What We Confess About Ourselves
Perhaps it has never taken ascendency in our own thinking, in our own inner consciousness, what we really are in Christ; what it means to have Jesus as the Lord of our lives. We read in Paul’s or John’s epistles what they say about it. John said, “Beloved, now are we the descendants of God”… Continue reading What We Confess About Ourselves
No longer limiting God in Us
The Spirit speaking through Paul in Philippians 2:13 says, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” We must become God-inside minded, to daily remind ourselves that we have Him in us, and that He is there to form Christ into us, to build the… Continue reading No longer limiting God in Us
God Reproducing Himself In Us
Every real father’s desire is to reproduce himself in his son. The Father’s dream is to reproduce Himself in us. You understand that the New Creation has received the nature and life of the Father. We invite the Holy Spirit, (once our spirit is born again with the nature of our Father), to come into… Continue reading God Reproducing Himself In Us
The Renewed Mind
There has never been a great deal of teaching on the necessity of a renewed mind. We have stressed the need of being converted, being born again, but we have left the convert hanging in the wind, as it were. Great enthusiasm and joy come at the new birth, but unless that is cared for… Continue reading The Renewed Mind
The Law of Life
The law of the New Covenant is a perfect contrast to the law of the Old Covenant. The Old Covenant was called the “law of sin and death.” The law of the New Covenant is called the “law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.” One law put people in bondage; the other law… Continue reading The Law of Life
Sharing With Him
In Galatians 2:20, we get one of the richest views of Christ’s ministry for us: 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me… Continue reading Sharing With Him
The Legal and Vital Aspects of Redemption
The Legal and Vital Aspects of Redemption Until one becomes conscious of these two phases of revelation, there will be cloudiness in their understanding and teaching and a lack of solidity in their thinking and living. The legal side of redemption is what God did for us in Christ. It is in the past. Romans… Continue reading The Legal and Vital Aspects of Redemption
“In Whom We Have”
Many believers do not understand what it means to be “in Christ” and therefore do not act as though it is true, so they do not realize what they have already inherited. The Father has declared in the Word what we are in Christ. We find believers seeking to obtain what love has already given… Continue reading “In Whom We Have”
What the Resurrection Gives Us
Here are some of the riches of this blessed truth collected from the Pauline Epistles. What does His resurrection mean to the Christian in his daily life? John 19:31–37 tells us of His death, of the spear-thrust in His side, and of blood and water pouring out of that great gaping wound.It is told in… Continue reading What the Resurrection Gives Us
The unveiling of Christ within
This is an unveiling of what we are before the Father, and how the Father looks upon us in Christ. Jesus said- I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father (John 16:28) Jesus said, “Except a man be born again, he cannot… Continue reading The unveiling of Christ within
What Paul taught about prayer
Paul teaches us about prayer by his prayers. In Ephesians 6:18, he says, “With all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” You notice he uses the expression “with all prayer [or with all kinds of prayer] and supplication in the Spirit.” It is the… Continue reading What Paul taught about prayer
The Four Gospels in Contrast with the Pauline Epistles
In the early days, German philosophy had gained the ascendency in many of our theological institutions, and there came a strange new slogan. You’ve heard it continuously back then: “Back to Jesus.” I didn’t know what it meant. Then I read someone had declared that Paul had altogether too much influence over the church, and… Continue reading The Four Gospels in Contrast with the Pauline Epistles
Treating the Word as Though It Were a Common Book
This title of the message bears the heart reason for spiritual failure. It is the reason why in daily life, the believer breaks down, why the adversary has no trouble in overthrowing them in a crisis; the reason why they are a spiritual hitchhiker, always depending upon someone else’s prayers, someone else’s wisdom, someone else’s… Continue reading Treating the Word as Though It Were a Common Book
The Living Word
What is the living Word? It is God speaking to you directly through an oracle of God, until that word is written on your heart, and you can hear God yourself. Unfortunately, the word being spoken and taught today is a mixture, mostly human and a little of the divine. God’s Words are not human… Continue reading The Living Word

These series of messages on the New Creation Realities paid for through the Legal and vital aspects of the finished work of Jesus on the cross. These messages will begin to transform your life. We are going to explore the “hidden man of the heart.” Our spirit that was born from above through the seed… Continue reading Welcome to The Church of “The First Born”
