Notes
2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Ephesians 1:17–23 NKJV
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Pray everyday at least once for yourself, but preferably twice.
1. THE TREASURE
Proverbs 2:1–15 NKJV
My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8 He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.

Ephesians 3:8 NLT
Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ.
2. WHO ARE YOU?
1 Corinthians 6:17 NKJV
But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him
John 5:26 NKJV
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
The word Life in the Greek is Zoe
– Of the absolute fulness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God, and
through him both to Christ in whom the “logos” put on human nature.
– life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, blessed, in the portion
– life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, blessed, in the portion
even in this world of those who put their trust in Christ, but after the resurrection to be
consummated by new accessions (among them a more perfect body), and to last for ever.
Life is the Zoe this means the very substance of God’s life.
John 3:16 NKJV
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Galatians 2:20 TPT
My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!
You have too much of the Life of God in you to be sick!
3. IDENTIFY YOURSELF
Ephesians 2:4–6 NKJV
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
