A New Song

Here's a new song I want to share.  He, The Holy Spirit,  gave it to me this morning, and I thought you might want to sing it, too!   It's very powerful in its simplicity:

                            The Living Word is alive in me,

                            making me whole and setting me free!

Perhaps it will mean even more if you look at it in light of Colossians 2:13-14, *NKJV

13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.  (my emphasis)    

Since He is alive, and He made us alive with Him, and now dwells in us who have received Him, we can most definitely receive our "certificate of debt" having been paid in full by Him when it was nailed to the cross.  And how was it nailed to the cross?  Because HE was nailed to the cross!  According to II Corinthians 5:21 He who didn't sin was made to be sin for us and it was by this act, our sin was nailed to the cross when HE was nailed to it!  This really happened!  He really did bear it all for us to the extent that it no longer exists, so we could be free from the curse, including everything that came with it.  You can read more about this in Deuteronomy 28 where the Blessing and the curse are described, and in the new testament, where Galatians 3:13-14 tells us Jesus bore the curse so we could receive the blessing.  

We who have received Him by faith can indeed take receipt of the benefits of what He accomplished!  Wow, and yay God!  He continuously works with us and in us in order to enable us to experience personally the benefits of The Blessing!

He, The Word was made flesh for us, He was made to be sin for us and now, He lives for us!!!  We can be recipients of it when we choose to start receiving what He says He did and who He says He made us to be, and what He says we can have through faith. The little song He spoke to me this morning is not only a reminder of what He did and who He is, but when we receive it and say the same thing He says, the power for it to bring itself to pass is released in us!  This really is Good News!

I'll close this for now, leaving you with  this link if you'd like to read more of the powerful word in Colossians 2 on which much of this post is based.
