2 Corinthians 5:14-20
14) For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
15) He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
16) Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
17) Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, they have become new.
18) But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19) namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20) We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
Philippians 4:8-9
8) Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.
9) The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
James 1:3
3) Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Finally, my message today is newly created and it is from second Corinthians chapter five, beginning at verse fourteen, but that all twenty nine minutes okay though they has a timer back there if you want to know how long my sermons are weather outflows. I'm getting to the end. Just look back through the timer is on account that so it dries that it's I think he tried to keep me in line and it helps looking at the clock doesn't help you know that right now, so being on the clock. That way helps me. Maybe, but were looking at. Second Corinthians chapter five, and it's newly created are in. This is word looking at the message Bible are for a decision to work from this focused center. One man died for everyone that puts everyone in the same boat. They included everyone in his death, so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life a far better life than people ever lived on the wrong souls we think about as we've gone through communion with the understanding of what Christ is done for us. He is one who died for all, and because of his resurrection that same life is in us and eight says it starts about starts out with this focused center so the focus of our life. This newly created life is always Jesus Christ. However, we are forgiven of our sins, that the new beginning and that beginning is life with Christ, urinary, and it is a life with Christ for eternity. Verse sixteen. Because of this decision. We don't evaluate people bubbled by what they have or how they look, we look at the Messiah. We looked at the Masai and that way wanted and got it all wrong. As you know, certainly we can certainly we don't look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, a created new. The old life was gone. A new life versions look at it. All this comes from God, who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world 's square within with himself through the Messiah giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sin. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing, where Christ's representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God 's work of making things right between them were speaking for Christ himself now become friends with God. He's already a friend with you, so I knew creation Christ is that new creation, the one who makes things different in our lives and we are seeing differently through God 's eyes. The focus position of our life is what Christ has meant for us and what Christ has done for us that what a positive approach God has given to us whenever we are to look at ourselves full. It is chapter four, says that we are to think on the things that are true or honest that are pure that are lovely. There are good report, if there be any virtue, breed any praise that the King James version and in the message Bible it says summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do, you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things that are true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious the best and not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly things to praise, not to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard, saw and realized. Do that and God, who makes everything work together will work you into this, not most excellent harmonies. So whenever we see that we are looking at a very focused life. We are looking at a very focused life that we have with Christ. We are a new creation, and were wondering if in this new creation. How is there harmony in my life harmony in my relationship with God, and harmony in my relationship with others. All we find it. First of all in our relationship with Christ. What we put into our minds determines outcome, so if we are looking to find harmony in our life. Well, what are we focusing on the idea that's presented in the Scriptures is first of all, we need to focus on Christ. If we focus on Ghana get things right with God. We then get things right with ourselves if we have things right with God and ourselves. We then get things right between ourselves and others so we can start with ourselves. With the storm got whenever we start with God. We are looking at what God is thinking that some of you is a wall, what is God thinking was not think about us. What is God preparing for our life and what is he have in mind for us, while God 's purpose going back into the creation was that we would be in harmony within that we would walk with him to be friends with you that we know he created us and walk in the garden came and walked with Adam and Eve in the garden in the cool of the day is friend with friend God 's desire higher was to be our best friend and that it would it would be. He would be the one we would tax the most. Imagine sitting to text message to God they got what the VA is just now and I wanted to, and we look at is all I'd ever get these text messages and a back-and-forth can easily picture from up there. So what is the picture. What is the picture that God wants us to focus on what we focus on Christ fill our mind with the words and actions. You know, the Sunday school lesson this morning spoke about that PI is the light of the body that the eye is the light of the body and VI must be single and in and in what it says in the Scriptures. The focus that we are to be focused on what we are looking at and if VI is allowing in full of darkness. The whole body is dark if the eye is focused on what the life is a whole lot of the whole body is full of light, so there was a focus to our life and the life that we are focused on his Christ in verse, taken what we just read says that fill our minds and meditate, fill our minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious the best and not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly things to praise, not to curse MedicineNet that we should have such a focus that our focus is letting emboli that is these action, these attitudes. These perspectives of life around us. Now if there is a problem on the thing problem with some really some of us, the other is a problem with keeping these thoughts that we just read here what we need to stop and consider what we are putting into our minds. We need to stop and consider what our eyes looking at because if we have a focus on the memo focused direction. We know where we are going and we know what we see and what we see is what's going on and what gets replayed in the mind over and over again. You know it's it's a movie that never changes. It's the these scripts that always reads the same as that script that we play over and over again in our minds, so we are to replace replace replace harmful inputs with something that is wholesome, something that is good and we can go even further to replacing that idea those ideas as to what is going on in our internal dialogue what's going on whenever we are thinking about ourselves and thinking about line what the internal dialogue that goes on in your own mind. Now some people never stop talking so well and she's Jesus left. So anyhow, the people were not verbally challenged the eye and that's a good thing. Believe me, that's a good thing, but what happens is then that we talk to ourselves more than we talked anyone else. That's my point matter whether we are very verbal, or whether were nonverbal and not. Not that horrible we are very much, been talking to ourselves every moment of every day. Why, because your mind can stop I know one individual tells me all the time. He says you know what I would think an empty mind is a good mind and I don't disagree because I know he doesn't want to hear, but the idea is that our minds cannot be empty. Our mind is full and it is constantly going even in our sleep. My mind is constantly active, so the challenge is, what are we saying in our self talk. What are we saying to ourselves. These are the things that we meditate on these are the things that we rehearse the last failure, the then, the deep things that have gone wrong, how we think about things, how we feel about things while positive thoughts are not lives. Positive thoughts and online, but quality empowering a firm because we usually talk to ourselves, we usually talk ourselves into what we believe we usually talk ourselves into what we believe that is why whenever we look at our faith that our faith that God is forming wants us to think of the things are lovely with your good report virtue praise you know what you don't want these things in our minds and our hearts result we can think about them so that we can rehearse them so that we can plan for our next event so that we can plan for the things are coming in our life that we can plan for them in a way that's going to be affirming good an outcome that will be admirable about what happens when it does so. We deal with it. We don't want what happens when everything falls apart. We diligently go on the idea is that because the that happened doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to end up that way were still in the process easy all day. If we are rehearsing a defeated message and that rehearsal those that script goes across the screen of my mind. It's like we follow the bouncing ball. We don't know enough to change the channel it out because the beam movies. The movie doesn't change the outcome in what my wife tells me I watch all these old Westerns and all his old movies and you know what, not the outcome. High noon never changes the guy still beats of the ownership. The bad guys happens every time you will and I have seen high noon. It's on all the time so but any other westerns and things like that, or any movie that the ending, never changes in our mind and hearts the end ever change. That's why Christ is come to give us new life. We are newly created every day. The promises of God are removed every day. The promises of God the Word of God is alive and active. It has a role God. God 's word is the role that he wants us to see and to participate in and to be a part, it is becoming an actor. That's a hypocrite. The government is an actor pretending to be something that you're not, but in Christ in new creation. This is who I am and yell faults and failures, and baldness in fatness. The two I have now and that's what we are and so we allow God to continue to work on the new life that is inside of us. It's sad that most of our negative. Most of our negativity in our thinking patterns stem from our childhood. Now we can blame everything on some of L but the Wii idea that we were depending on someone to building bring conference in nurturing and sometimes it didn't happen that way, but we look at this and we look at our life and no matter how we got were whereat it is our responsibility in Christ to look at this new creation in Christ is making enough doing in us a new life is the God who created us and created a loss. The breath of life and man became a living soul in creation is the same God who forgives us of our sins. Who brings Avalos, the breath of life, his spirit and his life is alive in us grading a new heart creating a new life creating regular right spirit within me, creative thoughts at the thoughts. God thoughts become my thoughts on his word be the governing agent of my life so that the Scriptures declare in Christ. I'm a new creation. I'm newly created will they be developed in New York. I'll but I'm where new inside were newly created and that this creative process is something going on every day. Now if we were genetically looking at ourselves and so on that you are not the same person you were last week. All our cells are changed because they have to be really MRR 's are whole body renews and changes. I forget how long it takes, but the whole body renews itself is not the same process on the same cells that were there. They've taken on something they've regenerated the name they continue to renew what what about our mind what about heart went on our perspectives is it we have to do is aware reprogram we think our thinking beyond the book charging the human battery by Mac Anderson. He quotes this William Wolpe says to carry our garage is like being stung to death by one be elected them Monday just keeps you. We just keep using the same thing over and over again, carrying a grudge hate this. What else he says, and this is not a Christian book. This is recharging the battery so it's a hate, anger and resentment are like cancers and when you let them faster. They put an invisible ceiling on your future when it comes to self-motivation. These thoughts can be public enemy number one. William Lord wrote in this book. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the handcuffs of hate forgiveness and forgive, and it takes off the handcuffs and that we can move on with life. So if we look at self-improvement books we look at the individuals who do study how the chains become about this always comes back to the very biblical principles of forgiving of letting go of removing the self-imposed ceiling that we put upon our life, because we think certain ways because we chain about life in a certain perspective forgiveness opens up a new perspective on our life Paul Bowles, BL ESC says forgiveness does not change the path, but it does enlarge your future not a Christian author. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does the larger future. What is Christ, tell us to do forgive forgive ourselves forgive others let it go young love God and love others you were young. We say this pattern of how God wants to do a new work in us, this new creation. In this new creation is about changing who we are changing it for the better because were focused and allowing the light of God to enter into our lives through what we see in the word is what we understand we say we believe it. I believe has a way of doing belief as a way of doing, but suddenly ousted the something while all of this setback and receive it. I'm going to wait until gets here. I member of visiting an individual wants and they said well you know were looking for work. I suspect that's good thing and he said I symbol where have you putting your resume should not haven't done that yet. But what did you write again, this is not having donated as we do need helpful at all. No, no, I don't need help on believing God visible word. Have you talked to anybody about getting work on our to do that would be done is why asked Doctor John Iselin, what did you do did you tell a money did you knock on a door to anybody. Now is no no no, I didn't do that. I believe in God. I think you mean that you're waiting here for somebody knock at your door and offer you a job. If you believe in God. Such an happen because nobody knows that you window and there is a way that there are things in our life that is it is gone and I and we know in our heart were believing and were pursuing, but our belief has a way of putting things into action. It's each of us have abilities to overcome each of us have abilities to take on challenges, age of us have the ability to get that each of us has the measure of faith, and we believe we all believe we believe that we will succeed. We believe that we will fail. It's a belief in our belief system is in God or in are predisposed ideas that we've created. Believing is doing. Believing is dialing. Believing is receiving Abilene is putting things into what actions that will bring about outcomes. So what is your what is our self talk change the self talk to believe for good change the self talk that is pure, change the self talk to something that is lovely. The something is a good report change the self talk to something that is virtuous that is praiseworthy if you have a complement and later in if you think something that is good and don't give if you think to complement what was that the whole thing is my quote like any remember them. If you're thinking of something good you say something good talent. No idea that a a compliment. Left unsaid is a waste of thought there as a compliment. Left unsaid is the wasted thought, why because what is invalid to set the net, but is as it is given. It has been the idea of reproducing something positive. Proverbs thirteen to three says my child to lose sight and good planning. Don't lose sight of good planning and insight this is where the Christian is extremely gifted because we have the spirit of God inside of us, and God has created everything bodyboarding Meo. He will put off on the wrong direction, but not created at all good he has a plan for us is a purpose for us and he knows our past, our feuds are present and our future. And so we pray that God would help us to have insight into our lives. If your own thoughts into our jobs and the things we say the things we do that we would be able to do these things in a way that would be a good steward of everything that we possess is the hang on to then hang on city planning and insight for than a failure with life and bring you honor and respect to pay attention to how you talk to yourself. Pay attention to how you talk yourself exactly what you're saying right now was as being vacant, you know, but what when where you say, how do we say how we talk to ourselves. We start by being by our prayers. Start today by praying that God let this be a wonderful day for just you don't have been no major analyst firms no last question on the concept of how many of us start our day with a prayer, God, thank you for this day God give me life, the good life today. Good thoughts. May I see the good things that are going on and speak about them got thank you for blessing me with this gift. I mean, the only authority about major don't send our prayers and in our own thousand standing and sitting in no discovery about simple processes simple words that influence what we think what were going to do simple expectations. You see the turning point in life. The turning points in life become paths of learning turning points become paths of learning because we're going in a direction that maybe were not so sure. James one three says the testing of your faith produces endurance, there are problems there are pains and there are disappointments. That's a reality of life. Because if you don't have problems paying to disappointment. The major perfect and I give God all the everything on the docks of wine in your bots are in order and how to stand back and gone, you're going to go to heaven. Soon, but no one is without problems, pains and disappointments so we have national disappointments, 9/11 with personal disappointments that even this morning, but in these places, pains, problems and disappointments in these places, we choose to believe we always are believing, but we chose to believe that God is a God of good and all the good gifts and all the perfect gifts for coming to life come by the hand of God. James one seventeen. We chose to believe that every good gift and every perfect gift that comes to my life is a gift from God, Jane James wrote this ten chapter one. Verse seventeen so that I am choosing to believe that the Dragon life has come from God, and therefore I am to focus on God and God 's perfect gift velocities, Jesus Christ, and when Jesus Christ looks at each one. Abbas, what does he think he thinks about that which is true in your life. He thinks about those things that are noble in your life defense about the things that are right up your about you, the lovely things that he admires about you PCs via excellence in your life. He sees the things he wants to praise you about and say well done you good and faithful servant. This is God 's thoughts about us and all we are doing whenever we are looking at ourselves in and looking at how that we can see life differently. All were trying to do is get a perspective that God has on me and on my life on the situation. All I'm trying to do is arrive at a place where I can see the light of God shining in my life, and upon all that I have all that I possess, and all the things of life of all the things of the world time, wanting the light of God to shine upon everything, including my self talk and recognize that I'm a new creation that God will help me see what he sees in me Adonai God for versus I get mean in this focus now I can see life more clearly and what does God see if he looks at me as God looks if you he sees the lovely PCs. The truth he sees the noble and you he sees all the things you've done right. He sees that which is pure in your heart and in your mind PCs that which is lovely that which is admirable that which is excellent that which is praiseworthy and he says, is a proud father. That's my child. That's my child. I love them so much I died for them I love them so much. I'm preparing an eternal home for them, but until they get here. I want you to know this is what I think about you. So is the is forty four seconds left for the printer to be done thirty seven thirty five thirty four UTC praiseworthy God enjoys his kids yelling. I enjoy my grandson is enjoying. I was chairman, Bill, my neighbor, assistant and what you think God looks at us. He enjoys his kids. You he enjoys you he enjoys ocelot customers just he loves us enjoy the enjoyed our company. The enjoyed our conversation. He enjoys our unique way of looking at things, you know you want a unique way of looking at things spent time with a three euro for euro ever really unique way of looking at things. God enjoys the uniqueness of your life, though we we all do and I do the self talk just thus crazy things don't allow your self talk to interfere with God 's self talk of you men can we do that and nobody said anything can we do that answer 's yes. Can we do that, can we do that. So what is regarding it's going to be true, noble rights to your lovely admirable excellent praiseworthy. God help us to think these thoughts of ourselves to see our life completely through your eyes, that we may see the world through your eyes. Bless the Lord, I fray. Let these thoughts PR thoughts. But this creation of God. This new creation newly created person that we are Lord let us continue to build on that image that you have a boss. We pray in Christ name. Everyone said amen. I'm excited. I do this right. I'll I'll yes okay not getting out if they answer correctlyFinally, my message today is newly created and it is from second Corinthians chapter five, beginning at verse fourteen, but that all twenty nine minutes okay though they has a timer back there if you want to know how long my sermons are weather outflows. I'm getting to the end. Just look back through the timer is on account that so it dries that it's I think he tried to keep me in line and it helps looking at the clock doesn't help you know that right now, so being on the clock. That way helps me. Maybe, but were looking at. Second Corinthians chapter five, and it's newly created are in. This is word looking at the message Bible are for a decision to work from this focused center. One man died for everyone that puts everyone in the same boat. They included everyone in his death, so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life a far better life than people ever lived on the wrong souls we think about as we've gone through communion with the understanding of what Christ is done for us. He is one who died for all, and because of his resurrection that same life is in us and eight says it starts about starts out with this focused center so the focus of our life. This newly created life is always Jesus Christ. However, we are forgiven of our sins, that the new beginning and that beginning is life with Christ, urinary, and it is a life with Christ for eternity. Verse sixteen. Because of this decision.

There are good report, if there be any virtue, breed any praise that the King James version and in the message Bible it says summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do, you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things that are true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious the best and not the worst, the beautiful, not the ugly things to praise, not to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard, saw and realized. Do that and God, who makes everything work together will work you into this, not most excellent harmonies. So whenever we see that we are looking at a very focused life. We are looking at a very focused life that we have with Christ. We are a new creation, and were wondering if in this new creation. How is there harmony in my life harmony in my relationship with God, and harmony in my relationship with others. All we find it. First of all in our relationship with Christ.

Now we can blame everything on some of L but the Wii idea that we were depending on someone to building bring conference in nurturing and sometimes it didn't happen that way, but we look at this and we look at our life and no matter how we got were whereat it is our responsibility in Christ to look at this new creation in Christ is making enough doing in us a new life is the God who created us and created a loss. The breath of life and man became a living soul in creation is the same God who forgives us of our sins. Who brings Avalos, the breath of life, his spirit and his life is alive in us grading a new heart creating a new life creating regular right spirit within me, creative thoughts at the thoughts. God thoughts become my thoughts on his word be the governing agent of my life so that the Scriptures declare in Christ. I'm a new creation. I'm newly created will they be developed in New York. I'll but I'm where new inside were newly created and that this creative process is something going on every day. Now if we were genetically looking at ourselves and so on that you are not the same person you were last week. All our cells are changed because they have to be really MRR 's are whole body renews and changes. I forget how long it takes, but the whole body renews itself is not the same process on the same cells that were there. They've taken on something they've regenerated the name they continue to renew what what about our mind what about heart went on our perspectives is it we have to do is aware reprogram we think our thinking beyond the book charging the human battery by Mac Anderson. He quotes this William Wolpe says to carry our garage is like being stung to death by one be elected them Monday just keeps you. We just keep using the same thing over and over again, carrying a grudge hate this. What else he says, and this is not a Christian book. This is recharging the battery so it's a hate, anger and resentment are like cancers and when you let them faster. They put an invisible ceiling on your future when it comes to self-motivation. These thoughts can be public enemy number one. William Lord wrote in this book. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the handcuffs of hate forgiveness and forgive, and it takes off the handcuffs and that we can move on with life. So if we look at self-improvement books we look at the individuals who do study how the chains become about this always comes back to the very biblical principles of forgiving of letting go of removing the self-imposed ceiling that we put upon our life, because we think certain ways because we chain about life in a certain perspective forgiveness opens up a new perspective on our life Paul Bowles, BL ESC says forgiveness does not change the path, but it does enlarge your future not a Christian author. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does the larger future. What is Christ, tell us to do forgive forgive ourselves forgive others let it go young love God and love others you were young. We say this pattern of how God wants to do a new work in us, this new creation. In this new creation is about changing who we are changing it for the better because were focused and allowing the light of God to enter into our lives through what we see in the word is what we understand we say we believe it. I believe has a way of doing belief as a way of doing, but suddenly ousted the something while all of this setback and receive it. I'm going to wait until gets here. I member of visiting an individual wants and they said well you know were looking for work. I suspect that's good thing and he said I symbol where have you putting your resume should not haven't done that yet. But what did you write again, this is not having donated as we do need helpful at all. No, no, I don't need help on believing God visible word. Have you talked to anybody about getting work on our to do that would be done is why asked Doctor John Iselin, what did you do did you tell a money did you knock on a door to anybody. Now is no no no, I didn't do that. I believe in God. I think you mean that you're waiting here for somebody knock at your door and offer you a job. If you believe in God. Such an happen because nobody knows that you window and there is a way that there are things in our life that is it is gone and I and we know in our heart were believing and were pursuing, but our belief has a way of putting things into action. It's each of us have abilities to overcome each of us have abilities to take on challenges, age of us have the ability to get that each of us has the measure of faith, and we believe we all believe we believe that we will succeed.

He will put off on the wrong direction, but not created at all good he has a plan for us is a purpose for us and he knows our past, our feuds are present and our future. And so we pray that God would help us to have insight into our lives.
