There is an operational principle of the New Creation; it's how the New Creation functions! It's this: Look, keep looking and don't stop looking! We are told that the New Creation is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him-Colossians 3:10. The Word, 'Renewed', is the Greek Word, 'Anakainizo', it means to, 'activate, invigorate, to strengthen'. The Revelation-Knowledge of God is what activates the New man! But, how does this knowledge work? 2 Corinthians 3:18, ' But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.' The Glory of God is who we are! Jesus is the revelation of that Glory- 2 Corinthians 4:6! Yet, we look into him as one who looks into a mirror; what a description of who we are! But, here we get to learn how we live the New life we have been granted! James 1:23-25, ' For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein,he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.' We look into our 'Natural face' of righteousness, victory, prosperity etc! As we look, recognizing this is who we are and we keep looking, we are blessed in our deed! How are we doers of the Word? By acting consistently with our revealed nature! We don't lie, not because we want to be righteous, we speak the truth because we are created in righteousness and holiness of truth -Ephesians 4:24! As we look, we become in experience what we are in our Spirits! Just like the serpent was lifted up in Moses' day, and the afflicted were required to look, if only the believer will look and keep looking he would be totally transformed outwardly! Look, keep looking and don't stop looking! #NewCreation #Pleroma
