wonderful to happen to me i am to you amen beloved you belong to me my son paid a high price so that you could live free in my heart and under my protection all the negativity of life died on the cross and was swallowed up by hell when my beloved son rose from the dead in newness of life none of your old nature made it through resurrection it was left behind beloved you have found favor in my eyes because i only see the new you in jesus the old jew is dead i give you permission to be dead to self and to learn with me how to be alive only to me did you really think that i could be so stupid and uncaring towards my own beloved son that i would accept your death because of his sacrifice and then turn my back on it by treating you as sinners all the old has passed away everything has become new and all things new is my gift to you newness of life and newness of spirit is your secret place in jesus he lives in you and you live in him together with the holy spirit you have become the secret place in my heart says the father the secret place in you is to know the first love that has existed before the world began the secret place is the love that we share together father son holy

and the new man we do not have double vision there is only the one of you living in jesus and learning to be one with him we're not in two minds about you either a double-minded person is unstable in all their ways we we are the same yesterday today and forever we are unchanging in our heart and mind about you we only see christ in you his death purchased a freedom so huge so beautiful so astonishing that the learning of freedom would produce a tangible union and unity with each of us you have been free since your first day as a new creation nothing will ever separate you from my love

no longer your nature it's no longer your nature you're a new creation walking in first love with your god and learning how to live in the secret place of christ within i know that you have been imprisoned by religion and chastised by legalism to believe that you are less than you are you have been taught that i am angry harsh and impatient you've been shamed blamed humiliated and condemned by the by the very people who say they are serving me for that is not how we serve you we serve you by bringing your new man into our sacred place of first love i love you the way i love jesus i see you in him he loves you the way he loves me and the holy spirit loves you the same way as he loves me and my son his delight is to be your helper to empower you to learn the life of abiding with us beloved there's no struggle with the old man the dead are always at rest you are simply attached to a habit a pattern of behavior memory and experience from the world the flesh and the devil that cannot be broken by focusing on it it remains through focus it can only be broken by the new life that is already in you we love to work on the new you so there is no stress there's no strain involved we will work with you to teach you how to abide in first love we will help you surely we will empower you surely we will uphold you by our great love you need to know beloved i am not sin conscious my beloved son dealt with sin once and for all we are righteousness focused our holiness is our gift to you we're making you in our image according to our likeness sin has been destroyed by the sacrifice of one who was sinless now in your life righteousness reigns through grace we love grace grace is our empowering presence living in you our intimacy with one another is your secret place of love and favor all my passion for jesus is directed towards you therefore i declare that you also are my beloved it's your identity to be the beloved of god your destiny is to be free and to be a carrier of freedom in the fullness of love beloved i open your eyes to see yourself in jesus that you would be found living in him in the joy and peace in believing fullness of grace belongs to you as your right why because you are the beloved grace is not undeserved favor those who use this language are themselves not set free they are poor in grace i am rich in grace grace is my empowering presence within you that enables you to become the person that i see when i look at you you are free in jesus to be made in our image grace empowers you to live in our fullness from the place of belonging isn't that wonderful first love means that you love what we love we love purity righteousness loving kindness and goodness this is your inner atmosphere it is the environment we share with you this is our secret place with each other and we are delighted to draw you in to the place of our love and affection we ask that you not be religious with the truth we do not want you to take the truth and apply it to yourselves we want you to learn the practice of abiding in jesus so that his light radiates through you by the power of the indwelling spirit jesus lives in you and you are learning to partner with the glorious holy spirit you are able to do everything with him because his indwelling presence will constantly strengthen you as your fellowship continues to grow because sin has been dealt with at the cross releasing you into resurrection power we are teaching you day by day how to live free in jesus we are not calling you out on what you do that is incorrect we are calling you up into your real identity in christ as a beloved son and daughter religion conditions you to expect little and receive even less the secret place provides a safety and security so that you can learn and grow up into all truth all things are made new in the new covenant one of the best things is that repentance for the new man is entirely different in the secret place of being in christ in the old covenant under the law people had to make an annual sacrifice for sin at the temple and repent for what they did wrong the new covenant makes that obsolete because of what jesus did in himself by becoming the sacrifice for sin now that he is your life he engages with me inside of you so that you are always accepted in the beloved because you're living in the new man you have to learn to repent from that place because the old place of repentance has passed away a new repentance is here the new way works like this if you're learning peace in the new man but keep devot defaulting to your previous habit of anxiety you cannot repent of anxiety because jesus took it away on the cross instead your repentance sounds like this father thank you for giving me a great opportunity to walk in peace i repent that i did not practice your peace and i ask you to give me another occasion soon to increase peace in my life doesn't that sound so much better no guilt or shame no need to condemn yourself instead there is a gentle joyful willingness to realize the potential for the next opportunity and then be ready for it it creates a delight in you for the process of transformation that we love to create in your secret place in christ under the old covenant people repented for doing wrong all that has passed away jesus fulfilled that law in himself by being the sinless sacrifice instead in the new covenant you can only repent of failing to do what is right in the nature of jesus my word says to him who knows what to do but doesn't do it to him it is sin that's james 4 17. sin in the new covenant is defined as falling short of my glory that happens when you do not receive what jesus died to give you which is himself he is glorious life you can't live in him and be ordinary when you default to a response that is less than who he is for you it is the delight of repentance to restore you to the place of increase that beloved is what you need the most i love repentance that renews your expectation of goodness beloved it's impossible to see my glory through the eyes of the old man but in the new man beloved my glory is always present if you simply confess that you miss the opportunity to be christ-like know this i am faithful and just to forgive you and i will cleanse you from not doing what is right and you will be given another opportunity to become like jesus because the secret place in him is also the place of love and safety repentance is your privilege because in the new man context it is also a reminder of how i see you and of who you are in my beloved son who you are becoming by the spirit is a journey of utmost delight for us and therefore for you also it is not required nor even helpful for you to repent in line with something that i have already declared to be dead to repent towards your new nature in jesus fixes your attention on what i am doing now in your present and it also moves you forward into your identity in the future it is my delight to see you looking good now and to see you moving forward we have designed the secret place for your delight it's so important that you relax and rest in my goodness religion is about trying to change your old man behavior legalism requires you to perform by earning your blessing in the new man in christ everything is a gift i give you a gift of righteousness so that you will be empowered to become like jesus because he is your righteousness i am not practicing behavior modification on you i'm not upgrading your old nature i am giving you a completely new life full of the love the joy and the peace in believing i am delighted to see you receiving and being empowered in the newness of the spirit trying by your own efforts disconnects you from my primary purpose which is let us make man in our image and according to our likeness that's the first thing i ever said about mankind in genesis 1. it is my kind intention and will to make you as much like me as possible in this life in that way scripture can be fulfilled as he is so are you in this world beloved i am aware that you have not been taught these truths and have not been mentored in my reality that is why i want to renew you in the spirit of your mind the secret place of life in my beloved son will empower you to learn and grow by abiding in us i love the process of transforming you it is delightful for us to love you

faithfulness faithfulness is the evidence of delight discipline simply means that you know how to keep your breakthrough because you know what to do as you partner with me beloved i will teach you to think in a way that renews your mind the mind of christ in you is the best real estate for new beginnings i love that thought my promises will cause you to thrive in life regardless of the world
