New Beginning

With Chinese New Year round the corner, I like to talk about what it means as new beginning in Christianity life. When we accepted Christ, we are term as born-again, what this means is Jesus comes into our heart and spirit and live in us. I learnt this from another sermon of Rusty Russell in his website.

We are made up of 3 parts, the body, the soul and the spirit. Soul is made up of will, mind and emotion realm. As a Christian, devil (d) cannot possess us. However, d can come into our soul realm:

- Will: rebellion

- mind: inter lecture pride

- emotion: emotional hurts like anger, hatred, bitterness, resentment etc

All these attacks are termed as oppression, depression and upset. It is a war in the fresh. D cannot get our heart as Jesus has taken it. So, D wants to manifest in our soul to show him. If cannot get the soul, he will go for the body, in term of sickness. We are to fight in Jesus victory ground to get d off us. Once we succeed, d will fall from 1^st heaven onto earth and diminish.

We are to fellowship with God, spirit, soul and body. At any one time, we are walking in 2 kingdoms, earth and spiritual realm, 1^st heaven. God wants to fellowship with us, in worship songs and praises and in bible reading. God wants to be Lord in our life. He wants to be in control, he wants to redeem our life, our soul. We each have a guardian angel with us at any time. We are to focus in our position; we are in the highest most place in heaven, in Jesus body, on the right side of God. We are not to focus on our condition on earth. When we walk closely with God, our soul and spirit will walk together in 1^st heaven.

Ok, back to Chinese New Year.

Gold colour - divinity, prosperity, Christ our divine righteousness.

Red colour – new beginning through Jesus. As sacrifice of animal blood for atonement of sin means life of Jesus died for us and His blood as our sin atonement. As such, we should live our life with no sin and righteous.

Happy Chinese New Year to All
