Before accepting Christ, your old man was in control. Your old man had free range over your mind, over your heart, over your activities, over your relational attachments, over your time, over your character in life.
The enemy of God, Satan, was the POA (power of attorney) of your old man, signing off on all facets of destructions and destructive behaviors in your life.
The moment you accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and life, the old man is revoked and your new man in Jesus Christ, is Appointed!

THE PROBLEM:
Many of you are still illegally operating by the construct of the old man allowing the old man to influence your ways and direction in life.

THE SOLUTION: (Ephesians 4:22-24)
Take full responsibility of working out your own salvation in Christ.

The bible clearly says, “to put off the old man and to put on the new man.” That means this “action” this “responsibility” belongs to “you” not to God!! (Philippians 2:12)

So, you must operate in the intentional faith of God, yes, God-Faith, to continually and fervently press forward toward the High calling and High places of God. Keep the old man “revoked” in your life— don’t find yourself entertaining the vicissitudes of the flesh-filled life. Know who you are, and Who’s you are in Christ, otherwise the enemy will try to sign off on things in your life, and may get away with it– if you let him.

Be transformed in the “spirit” of your mind.

o Do not conform to the ways, the attitudes, the mindsets of this world (Romans 12:2) or the REVOKED old man will try to dominate you once again. “Abide in me and I will abide in you.” (John 15:7) Clothe yourself with Christ continually putting on the new man and keeping off the old man—it is a WAR, a struggle but pursue godliness and live in Christ with all your strength, your mind, and your heart. (Galatians 3:27, Colossians 3:10)

* Develop and reinforce the fruits of the spirit.
* Engage w/ wisdom and knowledge and understanding in spiritual warfare.
* Equip yourself with your armor of God, using your weapons of spiritual warfare.
* Reject, rebuke, resist, revoke the enemy daily!
* See yourself from God’s viewpoint!
* Pray with understanding, speak, and declare the Word of God, sing psalms, meditate on the commands, the promises, the goodness of God.

DON’T LET THE ENEMY SIGN OFF ON THE OCCASIONS OF YOUR TIME! – THE ENTERTAINMENTS OF YOUR MIND! — THE ENACTMENTS OF YOUR BEHAVIOR!

* Take inventory of your life-what are those things, people, ways, that you need to eject out of your life?
* Cleanse yourself and wash your hands, submerge yourself in the blood of Jesus!

THE BLOOD OF JESUS (our license to stand in dominion over the powers of hell) (Revelation 12:11)
o Life sustaining / life activating
o Power inducing
o Unity and connection
o Mind covering and protection (Psalm 35:1-2)
o Warfare winning!
o Revitalization, healing, stabilizing
o Supernatural advantage
• Focus on heavenly things, rid yourself of dead things and places. (Colossians 3:2-5)
• Christ has been Appointed to you forever!!!!—signed and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.(Hebrews 9:27)

Actions:
• Never look back! Never allow yourself to get mixed up in bad company, bad ways, bad mindsets, bad intentions of the heart! Remove the old man stuff, daily, and apply, cover in, and embrace the new man daily.

• LET CHRIST REPRESENT YOU!

o You must “agree” and “obey” to the leading of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26)
o Christ is Fail Proof!!— He always has the right response, and He always win, therefore with Him you will always win, stay in Him, rooted, and grounded in your Faith. (Psalms 147:4-11)
o Increase your expectation of God for He has no limits, no cap, no ceiling, no box!
o He is, Who He is! He is the Great I AM. Sovereign and Holy in all His ways. All powerful, All knowing, Everywhere at all times.

• Understand who is representing you!

o Jesus is with you, and for you, in you and around you.
o Jesus intercedes for your behalf. He sings with you when you worship the Lord.
(Hebrew 2:12, Mark 14:26)
• Jesus represents you for Life!!
o Appreciate Him for all He has done and is still doing for you.

• Questions to consider:
o How are you glorifying God?
o What are you doing for God?
o What are you giving back to God for all of His benefits?
o How are you displaying your love to Him?
o How are you growing spiritually?
o Are you maturing in Christ?

• LISTEN
o Stop trying to do things on your own!! You cannot represent yourself!
o You have zero authority to represent yourself.
o You have zero wisdom, zero power, zero understanding to represent yourself.

o Let Christ represent you in EVERYTHING!

o Stop allowing the temptations of this world, the pressures of this life to try to null and void your spiritual progress! Remember you have a supernatural agreement and inheritance in Christ, He is in charge!
o Repent! And turn back to God while you still have time, while it is still called “today.”
o You don’t have yesterday, you don’t have tomorrow, you only have today! Tomorrow is not promised.

• GET THIS:
–If you are waiting for the right time to give 100% of your life to God, NOW is the time!
–Stop waiting and making excuses!
–Yes, God is merciful, but He also gets angry, so be made aware, He is a Jealous God!
–Give Him ALL of you. He sent His only Son for you, to represent you; rest in Him and let Him LEAD the way!
–You are not perfect! And there is no perfect time except for NOW!
–Now Faith! Believe and don’t doubt.
–Walk in Christ, run the race, love without ceasing, obey, without questioning.
