I’m a new creature in Jesus but the old is still there!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

This is a common predicament with many Christ followers. Jesus passes the sins from your ancestry on to you. The Bible teaches God visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.

They are genetic dispositions that prevent a believer from achieving the fullness of a new creature in Christ.

The natural man is born with these genetic dispositions. They have to be broken by the work of the Cross and a serious decision to live for Christ. 

The roots go deep into the personality and emotions of a man and require deep inner healing and introspection from God. 

The Holy Spirit is your spiritual therapist who will help you get rid of the past and become a new creature. Submit to the authority and counsel of the Holy Spirit and healing and recovery will come.

The life of a believer is a process of change and transformation into the character of Jesus. It is not a snap decision making everything good. 

The past can be removed through prayer, reading the Bible and listening to the voice of Jesus. The hindrance is many people want to keep these secret compulsive behaviors.

Jesus wants all of you. If a believer holds back parts of his life he will be an incomplete creature in Christ.

The best solution is to seek Jesus out for conviction and change. He will open your eyes to see what you need to change and give you the courage to let go and trust Him.

In the Body of Christ there are many programs designed to help a believer deal with his past and get healing and release from genetic dispositions. Roots is one of the strongest and most detailed spiritual programs in dealing with your past.

Jesus heals and restores but we have to be open to Him without any exclusions.
