Say You're New
By
Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin
"I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me" (Gal. 2:20).
I was healed on a Tuesday. That Saturday I walked to town, and I
happened to run into a friend of mine. We had been bosom buddies. But
during the 16 months I had been bedfast, he had seen me only once.
He was the same old creature he had always been - but I had become a
new creature. He laughed about the things we used to do. Pointing to a
building down the street, he said, "Remember the night...." and he
went on to talk about the time I had picked the lock on the door so
some boys could go in and steal candy.
I sat there with a mask-like look on my face, as if I didn't know what
he was talking about. (I remembered it well enough, but I wanted to
use this as an opportunity to witness to him.)
"What's the matter with you? You act like you don't remember - and you
were the ringleader," he finally said.
"Lefty, the fellow you were with that night is dead."
"You're not dead! I know you almost died, but you're not dead! That's
you sitting there!"
"Oh," I said, "you're looking at the house I live in - my body. The
man on the inside who gave permission to the body to pick that lock,
is gone. And this man on the inside is now a new creature in Christ
Jesus."
Confession: I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. I hold fast to
the confession that I am a new creature.
