New Creature: How the Blood of Jesus Birthed a New Life Form on Planet Earth

By Katie Regan

Everything Has Changed
Now it's your turn...
 
 
"I'm just a sinner saved by grace."
 
You have probably heard this spoken as a great spiritual truth. But, in fact, it is a terrible lie intended to keep you from becoming all that God desires.
 
Because when Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, He rewrote history.
 
Through His blood you have received a new spiritual DNA. The old is gone.
 
Sin no longer has power over you--rather, God wants His power to flow through you.
 
That's why the enemy works so hard to keep you from grasping the reality of your new identity.
 
Walk with Katie Regan as she explores how to live into your true, new self and become the person God wants to use to share His love with the world.
 
Life will still have challenges, but you will face them as God sees you—an overcomer, not a spiritual underachiever who needs to try harder.

INTRODUCTION

HELLO, READER. LET’s go on a journey together . . . a journey to discover lost blueprints, covert plans, declassified revelations, and reality-altering truth. A journey to rediscover His voice in our daily routines and to explore our true identity in Him, planned before the foundations of the world. Let’s go!

As we journey through, remember that you are utterly unique, on purpose. You’re not supposed to look like, talk like, dress like, or express ministry like everyone else. You uniquely reflect different aspects of God, on purpose. Be you, in Him.

Nothing we talk about in this journey is even possible without the power and presence of the Holy Ghost. He’s the only reason we’re here, the only reason why such good promises are available to us, and the only way that the promises will manifest in the physical realm. You cannot live a kingdom lifestyle without the King holding it all together.

Because of the blood of Jesus, there is so much endless more to this present Earth-journey! It’s my desire to impart the revelation of what exactly happened at the Cross, enabling you to see the truth of who you are and where you are so that you can begin walking, floating, singing, dancing, painting, shouting, and releasing the Spirit walk.

As you read, keep in mind three things: first, the stories in the Old Testament are not only warnings and profitable lessons—they are also a physical precursor (a symbol, a shadow of what would take place in the spirit in the future.) They hold many layers of meaning—clues and mysteries—pointing to the spiritual future of this age and the ones to come.

Second, remember that everything in the Bible points to King Jesus. He is the very center of eternity and the very center of our existence. Though He was hidden and kept secret in ages past, He is now made known to us, for us. He is the ancient Name, famous throughout time and space.

Also to enlighten all men and make plain to them what is the plan [regarding the Gentiles and providing for the salvation of all men] of the mystery kept hidden through the ages and concealed until now in [the mind of] God Who created all things by Christ Jesus.

—EPHESIANS 3:9

Third, you may need to start thinking of yourself, this present world, the spirit world, and eternity in completely different ways than you used to. And if you choose to agree with who God says you are, you will need to start making new decisions and practicing new habits of thought, word, and deed.

Everything has changed. Everything is drastically, starkly, overwhelmingly new. The playing field is not what it was under the Old Covenant. God gave me a vision of the new terrain we have authority over:

I saw flat land that was bright white. There was nothing there. Completely bare. The old ruins were wiped clean. Ripe and ready for new green life to spring up and new kingdom structures to be built on solid ground. However, there were many see-through images across the land. They were kind of like holographs, illusions. They were traps and torment machines—dark, cold, and decayed.

They are lies. Lies have no power unless you believe them. If you can see in the spirit, the traps and dingy machines are only illusions meant to enslave. #perspective

Message of GOD, the Master: On the day I scrub you clean from all your filthy living, I’ll also make your cities livable. The ruins will be rebuilt. The neglected land will be worked again, no longer overgrown with weeds and thistles, worthless in the eyes of passersby. People will exclaim, Why, this weed patch has been turned into a Garden of Eden! And the ruined cities, smashed into oblivion, are now thriving! The nations around you that are still in existence will realize that I, God, rebuild ruins and replant empty waste places. I, GOD, said so, and I’ll do it.

—EZEKIEL 36:33–36, THE MESSAGE

Our enemy has been stripped of his power and humiliated across the span of the ages. Desperately, he works overtime to make everyone believe that nothing has changed since the Cross, except that you can now go on willfully sinning and still get to heaven. Not true! Everything has changed!

This book is the result of my journey chasing Truth. I wanted to understand this revelation of the Cross, not just hear it and nod my head. I wanted to really get it, deep in my soul, to digest it. And so I began asking the Lord very specific questions. Yeah, but God, what about this? And what about that? He’s patient. And He’s a great teacher. Ask, ask, ask. Think, think, think. There are some things that we just won’t be ready to grasp in this age, but there are many things that we can understand.

Although the Lord does at times give me prophetic dreams, visions, and utterances, I do not claim that every word of this book is inspired by the Holy Ghost. Rather, this book is my attempt to share the revelations that God has been teaching me over the past few years. It is not the end and fullness of the matter. There is more. There is always more. Our understanding is constantly evolving.

There is nothing that I could hope to teach that is more important than this: to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love others as yourself.

May your journey be fruitful; unique; full of awe and adventure; woven together with bright, shiny, eternal things; witnessed by the cloud; cheered by the One; and wholly saturated with His aroma, that of love and mystery.

Grace to you, in sweet Jesus’ name.

SECTION 1:

WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CROSS?

CHAPTER 1

SALVATION

THE SUN WAS powerful that day. It burned down on my skin, and even the humid wind seemed angry. There was such an eerie silence and stillness as if no one else existed and I was on another planet. Everything around me was blurry and dark . . . except for the scene that lay directly before me.

I looked up to see a man hanging on a cross.
