You know, I was thinking the other day about how most of us live our lives. We spend so much time trying to improve ourselves. We go to the gym to fix our bodies.
We take courses to fix our minds. And in the church, we spend years trying to act like better Christians. But what if I told you that you've been trying to fix a person who doesn't even exist anymore?
What if the you that you are so worried about actually died 2,000 years ago? And I need you to understand something before we go any further. See, we've been taught that Christianity is a self-help program.
But in the high court of redemption, it's not about self-help. It's about a total identity swap. It is called the law of identification.
And this isn't just a nice thought to make you feel better on a Sunday morning. It is a legal reality. In the books Identification and New Creation Realities, E.
W. Kenyon reveals that you aren't just a better version of your old self. You are a new species.
Someone the world has never seen before. You are one with Christ, legally, spiritually, and even in your very nature. If you've been feeling like you're not good enough or like you're still a sinner, just trying your best, this revelation is going to change everything for you.
We are going to look at how your old criminal record was destroyed and how you were joined to the master himself. Let's look into the mirror of the word together. We must begin with the legal dissolving of the old self.
Now, stay with me here because this is crucial. In the mind of the Father, there was a moment in history where your history ended. Most people think the cross was just a place of pain, but it was a place of execution.
Romans 6:6 is the death certificate of the human race. It says, "Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him. " This is not a future hope.
It is a past-tense judicial fact. When Jesus was nailed to that tree, your old man, that spirit that was joined to the first Adam, was nailed there with him. Identification means that in the eyes of eternal justice, you were there.
When he died, you died. When the spear entered his side, your old identity was terminated, but why was this necessary? It was necessary because a repair job wouldn't work.
You didn't need a better version of yourself. You needed a new self. In Identification, Kenyon makes it clear that the spirit of man had become a partaker of spiritual death through the fall.
You couldn't just behave your way out of that nature. You had to be legally replaced. When Jesus was made sin with our sin, he was identifying with our condition so that we could identify with his standing.
This is the great exchange. He took our sin nature and gave us his son nature. Now, we must enter the darkest part of this mystery, the substitution in the underworld.
This is a revelation that most of the modern church has completely missed. Kenyon explains in The Bible in the Light of Our Redemption that the work of identification did not stop when Jesus breathed his last breath on the physical cross. Physical death alone could not pay the price for a spiritual rebellion.
To legally redeem a spirit that was dead, the substitute had to enter the realm of death. He had to be made sin. Second Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin.
" This was the moment of absolute identification. Jesus was not just carrying your sins like a backpack. He was made sin with your sin.
He took upon his own spirit the very nature that made you a rebel. He went into the dark regions of the grave, into the very heart of spiritual death. And in that place, as the substitute, he paid the full penalty for man's high treason.
He suffered the second death so that you would never have to see it. In the mind of the high court, you were there. You were paying that debt in him.
You were suffering that penalty in him. Every blow that justice struck against the substitute was legally striking against you. This is why the victory is so total, because the law has nothing left to demand from you.
You have already served your time in the person of your substitute. But then, the scene shifted. The debt was paid in full.
The claims of justice were satisfied. And from the throne of the universe, the Father spoke. He looked down into the dark regions of the grave and said, "Thou art my son.
This day have I begotten thee. " This was the justification of the spirit. Jesus was born again in the tomb.
He was the first person ever to be raised from spiritual death into life. And because you were identified with him in his suffering, you were identified with him in his rebirth. 1 Peter 1:3 says we were begotten again by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Do you see it? You were born again when he was born again. You were raised when he was raised.
This is the mystery of oneness. You didn't just receive a new life later on. You were legally birthed out of that grave at the same moment as the master.
You are a reproduction of the resurrected Christ. You carry the same DNA of the spirit that walked out of that tomb. Now, let's look at the biological reality of this spirit union.
Most people think of oneness as a poetic idea, but in the spirit realm, it is a structural reality. 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, "He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. " Notice it doesn't say two spirits working together.
It says one spirit. When you were born again, your spirit was not just cleaned up. It was fused into the spirit of the living God.
You were grafted into the very life of the master. Let me show you what this looks like. Think about a graft in a tree.
The life of the trunk flows into the branch. The branch no longer lives by its own power. It lives by the Zoe life of the tree.
Zoe is the Greek word for the life that makes God who he is. It is an uncreated life. It is a life that cannot fail.
It is a life that cannot be sick. And that life is now the life of your spirit. You are a partaker of the divine nature.
This is the end of the human limitation. Identification means that the life of the master is currently flowing through your spirit and it is pushing out the old life of the fall. But here is the struggle for many believers.
They have a self-consciousness instead of a Christ-consciousness. In In His Presence, Kenyon explains this critical distinction. They are always thinking about I.
I am struggling. I am weak. I am poor.
But in the mystery of identification, the I has been legally replaced by he. Galatians 2:20 is the ultimate legal statement of the new creation. I am crucified with Christ.
Nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. Notice those four words. Not I, but Christ.
This is the end of the old self-awareness. Identification means that when the Father looks at you, he doesn't see you and your mistakes. He sees the Christ who lives in you.
He sees his own son. And when the devil looks at you, he shouldn't see a struggling human. He should see a god-man who is one with the Lord of hosts.
If you still see yourself as a sinner saved by grace, you haven't seen the mystery. A sinner is someone identified with Adam. A new creation is someone identified with Christ.
You cannot be both at the same time. We must move into the legal release from the Adam family. When you were born into this world, you were legally tied to the first Adam.
You inherited his failure, his sickness, and his spiritual death. It was in your spiritual bloodline. No matter how hard you tried to be good, you were still a part of that failed family.
But, identification has legally moved you out of that bloodline. Colossians 1:13 says, "You have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of the son of his love. " You don't have to fight the curses of the old family because you are no longer in that family.
You have a new father. You have a new name. You have a new identity.
Most people spend their lives trying to break generational curses, but Kenyon tells us that the cross didn't just break the curse. It killed the person who was under it. If the person who was under the curse is dead and a new creation has taken his place, then the curse has no target.
It has no legal ground to land on. You are standing on redemption ground. You are standing in the family of the king.
Now, let's look at how this oneness affects your righteousness. Most believers think righteousness is something you achieve by being good for 20 years. But, Kenyon reveals in new creation realities that righteousness is a status that comes from your union.
If the head of the body is righteous, then every finger and every toe on that body is righteous. You don't have to feel righteous to be righteous. You are righteous because you are in him.
You can walk into the presence of the Father right now, and he doesn't see a struggling believer. He sees his own son. He sees the same beauty, the same perfection, and the same love in you that he sees in Jesus.
This oneness also affects your communication with the throne. Most people pray as if God is millions of miles away. They shout and they cry trying to get his attention.
But when you understand identification, you realize that you are praying from within the union. Jesus said in John 14:20, "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. " This is a circle of life.
When you speak the word, it is the Father speaking through the Son speaking through the body. Your words carry the weight of the throne because they are not your words. They are the words of the union.
You are the voice of the head on the earth. Think about the judicial enforcement of this oneness. When a sickness attacks your body, it isn't just attacking a human.
It is attacking the body of Christ. Would the Father allow a disease to sit on the head of the Master in heaven? Never.
Then he will not allow it to sit on the body on the earth. You must learn to say, "Sickness, you are touching the body of Christ. I am identified with the resurrected Lord.
There is no disease in him, therefore there is no legal place for disease in me. " This is not a mental trick. It is the enforcement of a legal verdict.
You are refusing to identify with anything that is not in the Master. We must move beyond identification with the cross and into identification with the throne. Ephesians 2:6 says, "We are seated together in heavenly places.
" Notice the word seated. It is the position of rest. It is the position of authority.
You are not fighting for victory. You are occupying a victory that has already been won. You are looking down at the world from the throne.
You are looking down at the devil from the throne. From the throne, every problem looks small. From the throne, every mountain is just dust.
You must develop a throne consciousness. In the hidden man of the heart, Kenyon writes about the importance of seeing yourself from heaven's perspective. You are not crawling on the earth begging for mercy.
You are seated with Christ in the place of all authority. As we continue to look into the mirror of the word, I want you to see the substitution of the senses. Most of our lives are lived through sense knowledge.
We believe what we feel, what we see, and what we hear. But identification demands that we believe what the word says about our union. If your senses say you are weak, but the word says you are strong in the Lord, which one is the truth?
Identification says that the word is the higher reality. You must identify out of the senses and identify in to the spirit. Stop saying, "I am sick.
" That is a lie against the union. Christ is not sick, and you are one spirit with him. Therefore, you cannot be sick in your spirit.
And that spirit life is trying to manifest in your body. Stop saying, "I am a failure. " Christ is not a failure, and you are one with him.
Therefore, you are a success. You must learn to agree with the head. When the head says you are blessed, the body must say, "Amen.
" When the head says you are healed, the body must say, "Amen. " This is the law of oneness. Now, I want to talk to you about the spirit reproduction of the new creation.
Kenyon often said that God literally reproduced himself in our spirits. This is the most shocking part of the revelation. You are not just a follower of God, you are a partaker of his life.
John 1:12 to 13 says we were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, but of God. You have the Zoe DNA in you. You are a God-begotten being.
This is why the world doesn't understand you. They are looking at a human, but there is a spirit inhabitant inside that human body. You are a mobile throne room for the living God.
In the two kinds of knowledge, Kenyon explains that there are two sources of information available to man. There is sense knowledge, which comes through the five physical senses. And there is revelation knowledge, which comes directly from the spirit of God dwelling in your recreated spirit.
The unregenerate man only has access to sense knowledge. He can only know what he can see, taste, touch, hear, and smell. But the new creation has access to a higher source.
You have the mind of Christ. You have the spirit of truth living in you, guiding you into all truth. This means you are not limited to what the natural world tells you.
When the doctor gives you a bad report, you have access to a higher report. When the bank account says insufficient funds, you have access to the covenant that says my God shall supply all your need. When your emotions say you're going to fail, you have access to the word that says, "I can do all things through Christ.
" This is the advantage of the new creation. You are operating from a superior source of information. The world is operating from the basement, but you are operating from the penthouse.
They are getting their signals from the earth, but you are getting your signals from the throne. This oneness is the secret to effortless ease. Most people are working hard to be spiritual, but the branch doesn't work hard to grow grapes.
It just rests in the vine. Identification is the end of the struggle. It is the end of trying.
It is the beginning of being. You don't have to try to be a son. You are a son.
You don't have to try to have authority. You occupy authority. The moment you realize your oneness, the struggle stops.
You just let the life flow. You just let the word speak. In New Creation Realities, Kenyon writes about the importance of reckoning.
Romans 6:11 says, "Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. " To reckon means to count it as true. It means to take an accounting.
It's a bookkeeping term. You are looking at the ledger of redemption and counting what belongs to you. You reckon that the old man is dead.
You reckon that you are alive in Christ. You reckon that you are righteous. You reckon that you are healed.
You reckon that you are blessed. This is not positive thinking. This is legal accounting based on the finished work of Christ.
When you reckon correctly, your life begins to align with the truth. Your body begins to respond to the fact that you are healed. Your finances begin to respond to the fact that you are blessed.
Your mind begins to respond to the fact that you have the mind of Christ. We are moving into the final enforcement of the revelation. Authority is useless if it is never spoken.
Psalm 103:20 says the angels are waiting for the voice of the word. When you speak the word of God, it is not just a man talking. It is the voice of the union.
If a man's head decides to walk, the feet carry out the decision. Jesus is the head and he has decided that you are free. Your job is to be the feet and the voice that enforces that decision on the earth.
Stop waiting for God to do something about your situation. He has already done everything at the cross. He has already paid the price in the grave.
He has already birthed you into the resurrection. Now, he is waiting for you to realize that you are one with the master. Every time you say in the name of Jesus, you are declaring your union.
You are saying, "I am acting as an extension of the king. " You are not a visitor in the kingdom. You are a permanent resident.
Think about the judicial power of your words in the marketplace. When you speak the truth, you are enforcing a contract that was signed in blood 2,000 years ago. When you say, "I am the head and not the tail," you are enforcing the legal verdict of the new creation.
When you say, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper. You are serving an eviction notice to every work of darkness. As we close this masterclass, I want you to look into the mirror of the word one more time.
Stop looking at your mistakes. Stop looking at your past. Stop looking at your limitations.
Look at Christ. And then realize that everything you see in him is true about you. He is your identity.
He is your life. He is your all in all. You are a master over the senses.
You are a ruler over the darkness. You are the light of the world. Not because of what you have done, but because of who you are in him.
The old you is gone forever. The new you is alive in the glory. Now, let's do a practical exercise in identification.
Right now, whatever is troubling you, I want you to see it through the eyes of the substitute. If you have pain in your body, see Jesus on the cross carrying that specific pain. See him going into the grave with it.
And then see him coming out without it. If he came out without it, and you are in him, then you have come out without it, too. That pain is a legal trespasser.
Say out loud, "I refuse to identify with this pain. I identify with the resurrected Christ. I am one with him, and he is well.
" This is how you master the senses. You refuse to agree with what you feel, and you insist on agreeing with what you are. You are not a human being trying to get to heaven.
You are a heaven-born spirit being dominating the earth. Identification is your victory. It is the secret of the ages revealed to you today.
Let me give you another example. If you are struggling with financial lack, see Jesus on the cross being stripped of everything. He was made poor with your poverty.
He became the curse of lack so that you could become the blessing of abundance. In that moment of substitution, your poverty was nailed to the tree with him. Now, see him in the resurrection.
He came out of that grave clothed in glory. He came out with all authority. He came out as the owner of everything.
And because you are identified with him in his resurrection, you came out with him. Your poverty stayed in the grave. Your lack was left behind in the tomb.
The you that was broke died. The you that is alive right now is joined to the supplier of all things. You are not a poor person asking God for money.
You are a wealthy heir reminding yourself of what you already own in the covenant. The same applies to fear. If fear is gripping your heart right now, understand that fear is not from the union.
Second Timothy 1:7 says, "God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. " If God didn't give it to you, then it's an illegal immigrant in your spirit. Where did fear come from?
It came from the old man. It came from Adam's nature. But that nature is dead.
You are not identified with the fearful one anymore. You are identified with the lion of the tribe of Judah. You are identified with the one who said, "Fear not.
I have overcome the world. " Stop saying, "I'm so scared. " That's the old man talking.
The new man says, "I am more than a conqueror. I am seated in heavenly places. I am one with the fearless one.
" Take a deep breath. Feel the life of God in your spirit right now. That life is more powerful than any disease.
It is more powerful than any addiction. It is more powerful than death itself. You are one with the victor.
You are one with the king. Identification has made you a joint heir. Everything that belongs to him is yours.
His righteousness is yours. His authority is yours. His peace is yours.
His courage is yours. His strength is yours. His victory is yours.
Walk out of the mindset of the slave and into the mindset of the heir. Stop talking about what you can't do. Start talking about what he can do through you.
Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. " That Christ is in you. He is identified with you.
You are his hands, his feet, his voice. Go out today and represent him well. Every morning when you wake up before your feet hit the floor, remind yourself, "I am not the old man.
I am not the failure. I am not the sick one. I am not the poor one.
I am not the fearful one. I am one with Christ. His life is my life.
His nature is my nature. His victory is my victory. " When you live from this consciousness of union, the struggle stops.
The striving ends. You are not trying to become something. You are simply being who you already are in him.
Type this in the comments below. I am one with Christ. His life is my life.
His victory is my victory. Establish it in the atmosphere. Let the world know that you have found your identity.
Subscribe to this channel as we continue to build this library of new creation realities. We are moving out of the realm of religion and into the realm of the spirit. The old you is dead.
The new you is alive. The change is inevitable. The power is yours.
Walk in it. Stay in the mirror of the word every single day. Let the word do the work in you.
God bless you. We are the body of the living Christ. The case is closed.
The court is adjourned. Amen.
