Taking Receipt and Certifying

As I've shared in an earlier blog or two concerning the need  "to take receipt" of the fact that when we  receive Jesus Christ into our lives, we are born again in our spirit man and become a new creation or new creature.  The following scripture statement declares this truth very plainly.

         Galatians 6:15King James Version (KJV)

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

So once again, we are confronted with a choice to receive this truth whether we feel it's true intellectually or not.  I've chosen to believe it is true, and because I believe it is, it has become a foundation to receive greater release from issues I've struggled with from time to time.  It has given me the freedom to receive what the Word of God says about who I am now without as much opposition because rather than trusting in the soul area, I can trust the truth that flows from my renewed spirit where my spirit has access to commune with the Spirit of God.  This is the source from which true revelation flows, and the Word of God keeps us safe because everything we hear must align itself with the written Word. 

I'd like to add  at this point, that God does not force us to believe anything, nor does He overturn our choice, our will.  We always have the right to choose! What a gift that is!  

John the Baptist, said to his disciples concerning Jesus:

John 3:33      *New King James Version (NKJV)

He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.

And by choosing to believe what God says rather than what we've experienced, or have been taught, or maybe even haven't been taught, we can also certify God is true when we decide to receive His testimony- in other words, believe what He says is the truth.   In our everyday world only an expert on a given subject can certify that an object, painting, work of art, legal document is "the real thing".   I find it so amazing, and just like God as I've come to know Him, to allow anyone who would-any man woman or child-to  have the power within themselves to  certify God is true, that He's the Real Thing!  Is this Good News, or what?  I think so; I believe I'll take receipt of that!
