Pikeun sanajan urang leumpang dina daging, urang teu perang sanggeus daging: (Pikeun pakarang perang urang teu carnal, tapi perkasa ngaliwatan Allah pikeun narik handap nahan kuat;) Ngaronjatkeun lamunan, jeung unggal hal luhur anu exalts sorangan ngalawan pangaweruh Allah, jeung mawa kana tawanan unggal pamikiran kana ta'at Kristus; Jeung ngabogaan dina kesiapan pikeun dendam sagala hal nu henteu patuh, nalika ta'at anjeun kaeusi (2 urang Korinta 10:3-6)
When a person becomes born again in Christ, the flesh dies and the spirit of man is raised from the death, by the power of the Holy Spirit and has become a new creation. The person is born of the Spirit of God and has become a son of God in the spiritual realm (Ieu manglaku pikeun lalaki sareng bikang).
The person belongs to the new generation of mankind, anu dibalikeun (dilakukeun sadayana, cageur cageur) and reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. That was the purpose of Jesus’ datang to this earth, to reconcile man back to God and to restore man in Him.
Ngalangkungan regrumasi, the person has become the new man; son of God and has entered the Kingdom of God. The Lalaki Anyar belongs to the Kingdom of God and not, salaku kanal kolot, ka dunya; karajaan gelap.
The repentance and regeneration of man
Basa maneh tobat of your sins and your life as a sinner, through faith in Jesus Christ and you became born again, you became a new creation in Jesus Christ. Nalika anjeun parantos janten ciptaan anyar, you will still walk in the flesh, but you shall no longer walk the way you walked before your repentance, nalika anjeun masih sepuh, who lived and walked after the flesh in sin and iniquity and pleased and exalted your father the devil.
But now that you have become a new creation and have been made righteous through Jesus Christ, you shall walk after the Spirit and the Word in holiness and righteousness and please and exalt your new Father God.
Although you walk in the flesh on this earth, Anjeun moal deui leumpang sanggeus daging. You shall not be led by the will of your flesh, as you did before your repentance. You shall no longer walk after what your senses, pikiran, parasaan, émosi, nafsu, and desires command you to do (Pikeun. Efesians 2:1-3; 4:22-24, Kolosa 3, 1 Peter 1:14). That time is gone.
Sareng kuring bakal nempatkeun sumanget kuring dina anjeun, sarta ngabalukarkeun anjeun leumpang dina katetepan abdi, and ye shall keep my judgments, sareng ngalakukeunana (Ezekiel 36:27)
Ngaliwatan baptisan jeung Roh Suci, God has given you His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has taken His place in your life and abides in you. Ayeuna, kersa Gusti ditulis dina haté anjeun.
Although God’s will is written upon your heart, there is one thing that stands in the way and that is your old carnal mind, that thinks and reasons like the world. That’s why it’s important to renew pikiran anjeun kalawan Firman Allah. So that you will get to know the will of God and your mind shall become in alignment with the Word and the Spirit.
Basa maneh Asih Gusti Kalayan manah anjeun, jiwa, pikiran, sareng kakuatan, you shall walk after His will and His Word and you shall do, what He has commanded you to do. When you walk after His will, you shall walk as a son of God on this earth.
The spirit shall reign as king in the new man
The flesh in which sin and iniquity dwells and reigns, has reigned as king in your life for years. When you were still the ciptaan heubeul, you were continuously led by your sinful nature, anu aya dina daging. Tapi ayeuna, yén anjeun geus jadi ciptaan anyar, waktos na golérkeun your old carnal nature. Jadina, sumanget anjeun, anu digugahkeun ti nu maraot, shall reign as king in your life.
Al those years, your mind has been dominated by the sinful nature and you have put your mind on the things of the sinful nature.
You have fed your mind with the wisdom and knowledge of the world. Therefore your mind has become aligned with the mind of the world.
But the knowledge and wisdom of this world are foolishness to God (1 urang Korinta 3:19-21). They are enemies of God, because they go against His will and His Word.
Therefore the carnal mind that is dominated by the sinful nature is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the hukum Allah, neither is it able to.
As long as the carnal mind is not renewed, your actions and works shall come forth from your carnal mind and therefore you shall not be able to please God. Instead of being led by the Word and the Holy Spirit and relying on God’s wisdom and power, you shall be led by your sinful nature, anu aya dina daging, jeung you shall rely on your own insights, hikmah, pangaweruh, sareng kakuatan.
Tapi Firman nyebutkeun, that you should not rely on your own insights and that as long as you walk after the flesh, you shall not be able to please God (Paribasa 3:5, Urang Romawi 8:8)
The renewing of your mind with the Word of God
Sareng henteu dikonfirmasi ka dunya ieu: Tapi janten YE dirobah ku pembaruan pikiran anjeun, ye naha tiasa ngabuktikeun naon anu saé, sareng ditarima, jeung Sépé, bakal dewa (Urang Romawi 12:2)
The first step as the new creation is to renew pikiran anjeun kalawan Firman Allah, so that your mind will no longer be dominated by the sinful nature and live after the will of the flesh, but that your mind will be dominated by the Word and live after the will of God. Because by the renewing of your mind with the Word of God, you shall get to know the bakal dewa.
When you get to know the will of God through His Word, you shall find out the truth. When you find out the truth, you shall be able to cast down every imagination, every thought, every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (against His will and His Word), ngaliwatan Firman (kanyataanna). You will bring every thought, that diametrically opposes God and His will, in captivity, kana ta'at Kristus.
By the renewing of your mind with the Word of God, you will lay down and bury your old carnal mind (Cara pamikiran lami anjeun) and the wisdom and knowledge you have gained through tanitik, pendidikan, (sosial) media, televisi, buku, jsb
You shall no longer think, speak and be led by your sinful nature that is present in the flesh and act like the world (putra Iblis). Since you have Pasang lalaki kolot, who is born of the corrupted seed off fallen man and formed by the world.
But you shall think, speak and be led by the Word and therefore act like the Word (putra Allah).
You shall no longer be led by your sinful nature that is present in the flesh, and you shall no longer walk after what your senses, émosi, feelings and the world tell you. But you shall be led by the Word and shall walk after the Spirit. You shall walk in the faith of the Word and therefore you shall walk in the light, instead of darkness.
The eyes of your heart shall be enlightened. Anu hartosna, that the truth of God’s Word; nu Caang, shall reign in your heart instead of the lies of the world; gelap, by which you were led all those years (Efesians 1:17-18).
The truth of God’s Word; the Light shall reveal all the lies of the world, which are present in the hidden places of your life. And then it is up to you, what you will do with the truth and the lies.
Do you believe the truth of God and will you follow the truth of God, by removing the lies of the world from your life? Or do you believe the lies of the world and will you keep following the lies of the world and reject the truth of God?
Walk in the flesh after the Spirit
Éta Roh anu nyegerkeun; Dagingna: kecap anu kuring nyarios ka anjeun, they are sumanget, sareng aranjeunna hirup (John 6:63)
When your mind is renewed with the Word and you do what the Word tells you to do and you are patuh ka Gusti and walk in His will, anjeun bakal leumpang sanggeus Roh
The Holy Spirit shall teach you in the Word and shall reveal the truth to you. The Holy Spirit shall guide you and shall reveal to you the hidden things and the future. He shall show you things, Pikeun. ngaliwatan Firman, that are about to come, to warn you, so that you can pray and/or prepare and become resilient (Pikeun. Lukas 2:26; 12:12, John 14:26; 16:13, Lalakon 20:23; 21:11, 1 urang Korinta 2:13).
The revelations and the knowledge of the Spirit are not meant to exalt yourself and to put yourself on a pedestal or use it for financial gain. The spiritual blessings are not meant for an overload of carnal prosperity and wealth.
But the revelations of the Spirit and the spiritual blessings are meant for the functioning and the building of the Garéja; awak Kristus and to preach and establish the Kingdom of God on this earth. So that lost souls will be saved from the darkness and the bondage and slavery of the devil.
Christians should call those things which are not as though they were
The Holy Spirit shall reveal to you the things to come and warn you for things, kaayaan,s and dangers, which are not yet seen in the visible realm. Jadina, you can call those things, which the Spirit reveals to you and are in alignment with the Word of God, which are not as though they were or to stop it.
Every revelation, every word, every vision, and every dream of the Holy Spirit shall be in alignment with the Word.
If a revelation, kecap, vision, or dream diametrically opposes the Word of God, then you should reject it on the basis of the Word. Because God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are One and will never contradict Each Other.
It doesn’t matter how wonderful and spiritual the revelation, kecap, vision or dream may be, if it deviates from the Word, then it probably comes from the devil, who appears an angel of light (a replica Jesus)
Ku kituna, it’s important to know the Word and to obey the guidelines of the Word.
You won’t have to pray for something that goes against the will of God and His Word.
Unfortunately many believers remain carnal and keep living after the flesh. Therefore they are focused upon themselves and their own wellbeing and prosperity in this world.
Their prayers are carnal and revolve around the prosperity and wealth of the carnal man. The ‘self’ is the centre of their prayers instead of the will of God and His Kingdom.
But as the new creation, you shouldn’t be focused upon yourself, but on the Kingdom of God. Yesus nyebutkeun, that you shouldn’t worry about a thing. Therefore you shouldn’t worry about a thing, because God provides and He takes care of you.
Look at Jesus’ life. Jesus wasn’t focused upon Himself but on the Kingdom of God. Jesus preached and brought the Kingdom of God to God’s people and during His life, God provided in everything. Jesus never had any lack. Therefore be and stay focused upon Him!
The Bible is a Mirror and Compas for the new man
The Bible is the Word of God and is meant for the spiritual man; who walks after the Spirit and not after the flesh.
As long as you are unspiritual, you will not be able to understand and comprehend the Bible. You shall consider the Bible an old-fashioned history book, that is full of foolishness and contradictions and goes against the knowledge and wisdom of the world.
Since many people are unspiritual, many Bible translations are being published in order to make the Bible easier to understand. But it doesn’t matter how many Bible translations will be published, the unspiritual man shall still not be able to understand the Bible.
Only when your spirit is raised from the dead and through the Holy Spirit you will be able to understand the Bible. The Bible shall be your Eunteung and Compass in life.
Lalaki anyar ieu seated di Yesus Kristus
Sareng hath nempatkeun sagala hal dina suku, sareng masihan Anjeunna janten Kepala kana sagala hal pikeun jamaah, Anu awakna, kasampurnaan anjeunna anu ngeusi sadayana (Efesians 1:22-23)
When your spirit is raised from the dead and the Holy Spirit dwells in you, you are no longer seated in the kingdom of darkness, but you are linggih dina Yesus Kristus at the right hand of the Father and you have been given His power of attorney (Efesians 2:1, Kolosa 1: 9-10).
You are no longer an enemy of God, but through this spiritual transformation, you have become an enemy of the devil and his kingdom of darkness (dunya).
Jesus came in the authority of God to this earth and represented, preached and established the Kingdom of God on this earth. He called the people of God to repentance. Kusabab éta, Jesus was not loved by everyone.
Jesus wasn’t loved by everyone
Jesus wasn’t loved by those, Anu kagungan dunya sareng putra-putra Iblis. Gantina, Jesus was hated by them. Even religious leaders, who supposedly were representatives of God turned against Him and rebelled. Which showed that they were not representatives of God, but representatives and sons of the devil.
ceuk Yesus, that the world dibenci Him because He testified of their evil works. And since the world hated Him, putra Allah, who are born of the Spirit and no longer belong to the world, will also be hated by the world (John 3:20; 7:7; 15:18-27).
As long as you stay carnal and keep living after the flesh, you shall not like this.
You shall do everything you can to be liked, loved and accepted by the world. Ku sabab kitu anjeun kedah kompromi sareng dunya. Tapi ku compromising jeung dunya, Anjeun bakal ninggalkeun posisi anjeun dina Yesus Kristus jeung lalaunan jadi tawanan Iblis.
Salami anjeun ngalakukeun naon anu Iblis hoyong anjeun laksanakeun, Anjeun moal ngalaman sagala lalawanan dunya jeung jalma di sabudeureun anjeun, sabab anjeun milik dunya sarta dunya mikanyaah ka dirina.
Tapi mun anjeun leumpang sanggeus Kecap jeung Roh, anjeun moal kapikiran yén dunya hates anjeun. Kusabab anjeun terang Saha anjeun di Kristus sarta yén Allah mikanyaah anjeun sarta yén Yesus geus foretold na warned anjeun. Anjeun terang, that the world, nu hirup dina dosa, moal resep ka anjeun malah bakal hate anjeun.
Ieu teu aya hubunganana sareng anjeun sabab anjeun parantos maot nalika anjeun dibaptis dina cai. Tapi ieu aya hubunganana sareng Anu, Anu cicing di jero anjeun. Siang, Who lives inside of you reproves the world of sin and unrighteousness and the world doesn’t like that (Jn 16:8-11). Jelema-jelema, who belong to the devil and don’t want to repent, don’t want to be confronted with their sins (works of unrighteousness). In your presence, they will be accused in their conscience by the truth of their evil works and therefore they hate the One, who lives inside of you.
The new man has become an enemy of the devil and his kingdom
Kang sasih, janten waspada; Kusabab musuh anjeun Iblis, Salaku singa ngagolér, leumpang, milarian saha anjeunna (1 Peter 5:8)
When you become born again you belong to the Kingdom of God and therefore you have become an enemy of the devil and his kingdom. Ieu hartosna, that you shall be attacked and shall experience resistance of the kingdom of the darkness. It’s not about whether you want this or not, it is a fact.
Lamun anjeun geus dijieun pilihan pikeun Yesus Kristus jeung dijieun Yesus Jurusalamet jeung Gusti leuwih hirup anjeun, Anjeun bakal diserang ku Iblis jeung tentara-Na (kapangéranan, kasusaraan, pamaréntahan gelap dunya ieu, wickedness spiritual di tempat luhur).
Aranjeunna bakal dianggo dina bagian unrenewed tina pikiran jeung kahirupan anjeun sarta ngaliwatan jalma sabudeureun anjeun. Utamana maranéhanana, anu deukeut jeung anjeun. Ku sabab éta, penting pikeun tetep jagjag sacara rohani sareng ati-ati sareng saha anu anjeun percanten sareng saha anu anjeun dengekeun. Kusabab anjeunna malah bisa ngagunakeun baraya deukeut, babaturan jeung kenalan.
Tapi anjeun kudu salawasna inget, yén sanajan anjeun leumpang dina daging, anjeun henteu perang saatos daging sahingga anjeun henteu perang ngalawan aranjeunna, tapi ngalawan Iblis jeung setan-Na, kasusaraan, otoritas, kapangéranan jsb. Aranjeunna parantos janten musuh anjeun sareng anjeun kedah ngalawan aranjeunna sanés jalma.
Lalaki anyar teu ngalawan jalma
Sanajan anjeun leumpang dina daging, anjeun teu leumpang sanggeus daging. Ku kituna, anjeun teu narékahan jeung perang sanggeus daging saperti anjeun teu, nalika anjeun ciptaan heubeul. Anjeun teu wrestle ngalawan daging jeung getih; jalma. Ieu kajadian sababaraha kali, yén jalma dipingpin ku daging maranéhanana sarta asup kana battles jeung jalma sabab teu boga diteundeun handap daging maranéhanana acan.
Tapi anjeun teu wrestle ngalawan jalma, sakumaha ciptaan heubeul dina wangun debat, pertunjungan, gosip, males kajahatan, elasif, nyalahkeun batur, manipulasi jsb. Kusabab pas anjeun ngalakukeun ieu karya, anjeun bakal dipingpin ku parasaan carnal Anjeun, émosi, jeung pikiran jeung leumpang sanggeus daging Anjeun.
Anjeun tiasa nyegah kabiasaan ieu ku henteu masihan perhatian kana kahayang daging anjeun tapi nolak éta. Ieu bagian tina sanctification.
Sanctification nyaéta prosés putting off lalaki carnal heubeul jeung nempatkeun lalaki spiritual anyar.
Ieu tiasa pisan teuas dina awal. Tapi nalika anjeun ngadisiplinkeun diri tina Firman sareng tabah sareng henteu nurut kana hawa nafsu sareng kahayang daging anjeun sareng ngalakukeun naon anu diparentahkeun ku daging anjeun., Anjeun antukna bakal iklas eta turun.
Kadé uninga sarta salawasna inget, saha anjeun geus jadi Kristus jeung naon geus narima di Anjeunna jeung naon battleground Anjeun. Ulah nyerah kana temptations dina daging, ku nurut daging tinimbang Roh jeung wrestle ngalawan jalma.
Yesus digoda sababaraha kali. Iblis ngalakukeun sagalana manéhna bisa wani daging-Na, ku kituna Yesus bakal masihan kana daging. Tapi Yesus henteu nyerah kana godaan, sabab Anjeunna henteu leumpang saatos daging sareng henteu dipimpin ku indra-Na, parasaan sareng émosi. Tapi Yesus dipingpin ku kecap Allah jeung Roh-Na.
Éta sababna Yesus henteu gulat, narékahan jeung debat jeung jalma, pikeun ngabuktikeun Diri-Na. Anjeunna terang, Saha Anjeunna sareng sareng saha Anjeunna diurus. Yesus ieu confronting sarta mindeng ngomong kecap teuas.
Sababaraha kali, Yesus nyarios ka roh-roh jahat, anu nyarita jeung digawé ngaliwatan jalma. Salaku conto, di sinagoga di Kapernaum, lamun aya hiji lalaki jeung roh najis jengkar sarta mimiti ceurik ka Yesus. Yésus ngagebeg roh jahat, ku nyebutkeun nahan karapihan sarta kaluar ti jalma. Roh najis nurut kana sora Yesus sarta sanggeus anjeunna torned jalma sarta ceurik kalawan sora nyaring., anjeunna kaluar tina jalma (Tandaan 1:21-26).
Sarua kajadian jeung lalaki éta, anu cicing di kuburan jeung dumuk di tanah Gadarenes sarta ogé boga roh najis. Roh najis ieu nembongkeun dirina dina ayana Yesus. Yésus ngomong ka roh jahat jeung maréntahkeun ninggalkeun éta lalaki (Tandaan 5:1-13).
Jeung hayu urang poho Peter. Nalika Peter diusahakeun nyegah Yesus, keur indit teh jalan salib. Yesus nyarios ka Iblis, anu digawé ngaliwatan émosi jeung parasaan (daging) ku sungut Petrus. Ku kecap-kecapna, Pétrus jadi musuh Allah, sabab pikiranana henteu ditujukeun kana hal-hal Allah tapi kana hal-hal manusa (Mat 16:21-23, Mar 8:31-33).
Lalaki anyar wrestles ngalawan arwah, pangawasa, kapangéranan, kasusaraan
Medan perang anjeun lumangsung di alam spiritual. Sanajan anjeun leumpang dina daging, anjeun teu leumpang sanggeus daging, Tapi saatos sumanget. Anjeun tarung tina Roh anjeun sareng posisi spiritual anjeun dina Yesus Kristus di tempat sawarga (Efesians 2:1). Kusabab Yesus linggih di sisi katuhu Bapa di luhur unggal kapangéranan, pendominasi, kakawasaan jeung sagala ngaran jeung Allah geus nempatkeun sagalana dina suku-Na, sareng anjeun linggih di Anjeunna, sagala hal ieu aya di handapeun suku anjeun ogé. Anjeun parantos dipasihan kakawasaan sareng wewenang pikeun maréntah di luhur sadaya kapangéranan, pendominasi, kakuatan sarta sakabeh ngaran (Pikeun. 1 urang Korinta 15:27, Efesians 1:20-23)
Salami anjeun tetep dina iman jeung abide ka Yesus Kristus; Kecap sarta tetep dina armor Allah, Anjeun bakal teu kacekel sareng anjeun bakal tiasa ngancurkeun unggal benteng Iblis sareng mareuman sadaya panahan sétan anu seuneu. (Efesians 6:12-17).
Tapi pas anjeun ninggalkeun iman jeung Kecap jeung leumpang sanggeus daging jeung dipingpin ku daging Anjeun (rasa, émosi, parasaan jsb.), anjeun henteu deui ditangtayungan sareng anjeun moal tiasa tuang benteng-benteng ti Iblis jeung mareuman panah seuneu ti Iblis (Efesians 6:12-17).
Éta sabab anjeun henteu percanten sareng ngandelkeun Firman, tapi gantina, anjeun ngandelkeun wawasan anjeun sorangan, pangabisa, kakuatan, kanyaho sareng hikmah, nu kabentuk ku dunya. Anjeun ngadangukeun – jeung ngalakukeun naon dunya nyebutkeun, sarta ku kituna anjeun percanten ka dunya, tinimbang ngadengekeun jeung ngalakonan naon Firman Allah nyebutkeun jeung percaya ka Anjeunna.
Ku sabab dunya téhnik jeung métode anu mawa musibah pikeun jalan putra-putra Allah (jalu jeung bikang (Baca ogé: ‘Iman teknis’).
Kitu, anjeun teu ngalawan jalma, tapi ngalawan kakuatan, kapangéranan, pamaréntahan gelap dunya ieu, kajahatan di tempat luhur, anu manifest sorangan a.o. dina daging; awak sareng jiwa (pikiran, parasaan, émosi, bakal), tetep jalma captivated di karajaan gelap jeung nyoba ngagoda anjeun dosa.
Ngaliwatan kahirupan jalma, éta Iblis ngawangun karajaan-Na. Lamun nempo kahirupan jalma, Anjeun bakal ningali naon kakuatan demonic aktip tur aturan di wewengkon, nu wrestle ngalawan.
Salami jalma tetep jasmani, moal aya atawa saeutik gain
Ngan ku Firman Allah, anjeun bakal ngéléhkeun sarta jadi victorious, sabab anjeun linggih di Anjeunna. Ku nyarios Firman Allah sareng nangtung dina Firman sareng henteu mundur, Anjeun bakal tiasa ngéléhkeun kakuatan sétan tina gelap sareng teu aya anu bakal ngarugikeun anjeun (Lukas 10:19).
Tapi anjeun kudu ngalawan ti posisi anjeun dina Kristus sanggeus Roh. Ku sabab éta penting pisan pikeun terang saha Gusti, jeung saha anjeun dina Kristus jeung naon posisi jeung otoritas anjeun geus dibikeun ka Anjeunna. Sabab lamun teu nyaho saha anjeun di Anjeunna atawa ngalawan ti posisi carnal Anjeun sanggeus daging, Anjeun ahirna bakal leungit tarung jeung kakuatan demonic ieu bakal nyokot ngilikan hirup anjeun.
Salami anjeun cicing di Yesus Kristus anjeun untouchable jeung wajib (tungtungna) ngungkulan, sabab Yesus geus nungkulan. Éta sanés padamelan anjeun, tapi karya-Na. Salami anjeun percanten kana Firman, tetep ka Anjeunna, ngalakukeun Firman sareng tetep nangtung dina Firman, Anjeun bakal meunangna sareng teu aya anu bakal ngarugikeun anjeun.
