• 0:52
  Constance Lavonice: I am your host, Constance Lavonice.
• 0:56
  Constance Lavonice: Let's reflect on this verse.
• 1:00
  Constance Lavonice: I have been crucified, put to death with Christ.
• 1:06
  Constance Lavonice: It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
• 1:13
  Constance Lavonice: And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God.
• 1:24
  Constance Lavonice: So the old me, the insecure me, the quick-tempered me has been crucified, and I am a new person in Christ.
• 1:40
  Constance Lavonice: The old person is gone.
• 1:43
  Constance Lavonice: That applies to you.
• 1:45
  Constance Lavonice: The old you, shame, guilt, fear, doubt, double-mindedness, unbelief, that person is gone the moment you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
• 2:04
  Constance Lavonice: It's done.
• 2:06
  Constance Lavonice: It's crucified.
• 2:07
  Constance Lavonice: And now you live through Christ who lives in you.
• 2:14
  Constance Lavonice: Meditate on that.
• 2:16
  Constance Lavonice: Visualize it.
• 2:18
  Constance Lavonice: Picture it.
• 2:19
  Constance Lavonice: Allow the Holy Spirit to graft it into your heart that you are a new person, and the old you is gone.
• 2:32
  Constance Lavonice: You're a new person in Christ.
• 2:36
  Constance Lavonice: Everything that Christ has, you have.
• 2:41
  Constance Lavonice: Everything.
• 2:43
  Constance Lavonice: We are seated in the heavenly places with Christ.
• 2:48
  Constance Lavonice: And Christ says that, behold, I have given you all authority over all the power of the enemy.
• 2:59
  Constance Lavonice: We have the authority of Jesus Christ in us.
• 3:03
  Constance Lavonice: This is found in Luke 10, 19, that Jesus says that I have given you all authority.
• 3:10
  Constance Lavonice: We have all authority over the power of the enemy.
• 3:15
  Constance Lavonice: We don't have to fear the schemes of Satan.
• 3:20
  Constance Lavonice: Jesus said that He has given us all of His authority.
• 3:27
  Constance Lavonice: Think about that and meditate on that.
• 3:32
  Constance Lavonice: Because that is a game changer in how we live our life, how we walk, how we speak, and how we perceive everything that's happening around us.
• 3:47
  Constance Lavonice: We have a new mind, we have a new spirit, and we have access to all of the kingdom of God.
• 3:56
  Constance Lavonice: We have everything we need for life and godliness.
• 4:00
  Constance Lavonice: It's already there.
• 4:02
  Constance Lavonice: And all we need to do is appropriate it by faith.
• 4:08
  Constance Lavonice: That's the same faith that we used when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
• 4:16
  Constance Lavonice: And Paul tells us in Romans that we all have the measure of faith.
• 4:23
  Constance Lavonice: So if you have a problem believing or even understanding the word of God, you have a new mind.
• 4:33
  Constance Lavonice: Your mind is able to comprehend the things of God now.
• 4:40
  Constance Lavonice: You have the source of wisdom inside of you because of the new spirit that you have within you.
• 4:50
  Constance Lavonice: And that's a spirit of power.
• 4:53
  Constance Lavonice: So you don't have to give up, you don't have to be downcast, you don't have to doubt yourself.
• 5:00
  Constance Lavonice: You have power.
• 5:02
  Constance Lavonice: And I want you, ladies, to really allow this verse to just get into your spirit, to get into your heart that you are a new person.
• 5:18
  Constance Lavonice: You're no longer that old person that you were when you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior.
• 5:28
  Constance Lavonice: You're a new person with all the power of God for every situation or circumstance in your life to be victorious.
• 5:41
  Constance Lavonice: It's in you.
• 5:44
  Constance Lavonice: And I want you to allow that to be your core identity in Christ.
• 5:52
  Constance Lavonice: When this is your core identity, and it only becomes your core identity as you study it and meditate on it and open up God's word to confirm all of his promises and everything that he says about us when this scripture becomes your core belief, then it will start to change your life.
• 6:25
  Constance Lavonice: And you will experience life through the eyes of God.
• 6:31
  Constance Lavonice: And that's what's important.
• 6:34
  Constance Lavonice: What does God say about you?
• 6:37
  Constance Lavonice: God says that you are loved, you are redeemed, and you were chosen by God.
• 6:45
  Constance Lavonice: Let that sink into your mind and your heart.
• 6:50
  Constance Lavonice: Let that allow it to become your core identity.
• 6:56
  Constance Lavonice: Allow your mind to be transformed by God's word.
• 7:02
  Constance Lavonice: And the only way that you can do that is like I said, to read his word, but not only read his word, but to meditate on his word.
• 7:14
  Constance Lavonice: And I want you to start this week.
• 7:17
  Constance Lavonice: Have a look at Galatians chapter 2, verse 20, and meditate on that verse.
• 7:25
  Constance Lavonice: Meditate.
• 7:26
  Constance Lavonice: What is God saying to you?
• 7:29
  Constance Lavonice: What is the message that he's telling you?
• 7:33
  Constance Lavonice: What does he want you to do with this verse?
• 7:38
  Constance Lavonice: I have been crucified with Christ.
• 7:40
  Constance Lavonice: It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
• 7:45
  Constance Lavonice: And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God.
• 7:52
  Constance Lavonice: You have the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
• 8:00
  Constance Lavonice: So think about it, reflect on it, and allow God's word to become your word and permeate your life.
• 8:11
  Constance Lavonice: And if this message resonated with you, subscribe and share it with a friend who may need encouragement, and then text the show and let me know what's on your heart.
