2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP) Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
All of what you were and all you are matter. Refuse shame. God has washed your sins away and every one of your experiences God will use for His glory. Your sins are gone! Receive His forgiveness, grace, and love. You are His beloved. He sent His son, Jesus, to die and live again for you that you may be whole, complete, and fulfilled in Him.
You are His prize and joy. Remember all that He has done for you. Remember His great love for you. Allow Him to write it upon your heart, your mind, and your body. Do not receive fear. Do not receive shame. Refuse the lies of the enemy. Dwell, abide, and flourish in God’s truth of who you are in Christ, in who you have been called to be.
YHVH Bore (the Lord our Creator) is resurrecting the person He created you to be. Be renewed and transformed in the mind and heart of Christ. His blood has covered you, testified for you, and washed you clean. Your sins are forgiven. You have been made new. Receive God’s grace that covers it all. Rest in God’s love for you. Receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit that you may be filled with truth. May that truth fill every part, sealing the transformation. This transformation is you becoming all that God created you to be, making you whole, making you complete, bringing you into the fullness of who you are as a daughter, as a son, through Jesus Christ.
Matthew 3:11 (AMP) “As for me, I baptize you with water because of [your] repentance [that is, because you are willing to change your inner self–your old way of thinking, regret your sin and live a changed life], but He (the Messiah) who is coming after me is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to remove [even as His slave]; He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire (judgment).”
