Chapter 1: Your Old Self Died: The Identity Swap

You know, I was thinking the other day about how most of us live our lives. We spend so much time trying to improve0:07

ourselves. We go to the gym to fix our bodies. We take courses to fix our minds. And in the church, we spend years trying to act like better Christians.0:17

But what if I told you that you've been trying to fix a person who doesn't even exist anymore?0:25

What if the you that you are so worried about actually died 2,000 years ago? And I need you to understand something before we go any further.0:37
37 seconds
See, we've been taught that Christianity is a self-help program. But in the High Court of Redemption, it's not about0:46

self-help. It's about a total identity swap. It is called the law of identification. And this isn't just a0:53

nice thought to make you feel better on a Sunday morning. It is a legal reality.0:58

In the books Identification and New Creation Realities, EW Kenyon reveals that you aren't just a better version of1:07
1 minute, 7 seconds
your old self. You are a new species, someone the world has never seen before.1:17
1 minute, 17 seconds
You are one with Christ legally, spiritually, and even in your very nature. If you've been feeling like1:24
1 minute, 24 seconds
you're not good enough or like you're still a sinner just trying your best, this revelation is going to change1:31
1 minute, 31 seconds
everything for you. We are going to look at how your old criminal record was destroyed and how you were joined to the1:39
1 minute, 39 seconds
master himself. Let's look into the mirror of the word together. We must begin with the legal dissolving of the1:47
1 minute, 47 seconds
old self. Now stay with me here because this is crucial. In the mind of the father, there was a moment in history where your history ended.1:58
1 minute, 58 seconds
Most people think the cross was just a place of pain, but it was a place of execution.2:03
2 minutes, 3 seconds
Romans 6:6 is the death certificate of the human race. It says, "Knowing this2:10
2 minutes, 10 seconds
that our old man was crucified with him." This is not a future hope. It is a past2:18
2 minutes, 18 seconds
tense judicial fact. When Jesus was nailed to that tree, your old man, that spirit that was joined to the first Adam was nailed there with him.2:28
2 minutes, 28 seconds
Identification means that in the eyes of eternal justice, you were there. When he2:37
2 minutes, 37 seconds
died, you died. When the spear entered his side, your old identity was terminated. But why was this necessary?Chapter 2: The Legal Dissolving of the Old Self
2:46
2 minutes, 46 seconds
It was necessary because a repair job wouldn't work. You didn't need a better version of yourself. You needed a new self.2:55
2 minutes, 55 seconds
In identification, Kenyon makes it clear that the spirit of man had become a partaker of spiritual death through the3:02
3 minutes, 2 seconds
fall. You couldn't just behave your way out of that nature. You had to be legally replaced. When Jesus was made3:11
3 minutes, 11 seconds
sin with our sin, he was identifying with our condition so that we could identify with his standing. This is the3:19
3 minutes, 19 seconds
great exchange. He took our sin nature and gave us his son nature.3:26
3 minutes, 26 seconds
Now we must enter the darkest part of this mystery, the substitution in the underworld. This is a revelation that most of the modern church has completely missed.3:36
3 minutes, 36 seconds
Kenyon explains in the Bible in the light of our redemption that the work of identification3:42
3 minutes, 42 seconds
did not stop when Jesus breathed his last breath on the physical cross.3:49
3 minutes, 49 seconds
Physical death alone could not pay the price for a spiritual rebellion. To legally redeem a spirit that was dead,3:57
3 minutes, 57 seconds
the substitute had to enter the realm of death. He had to be made sin.4:04
4 minutes, 4 seconds
2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no4:10
4 minutes, 10 seconds
sin." This was the moment of absolute identification.4:15
4 minutes, 15 seconds
Jesus was not just carrying your sins like a backpack. He was made sin with your sin. He took upon his own spirit the very nature that made you a rebel.4:26
4 minutes, 26 seconds
He went into the dark regions of the grave into the very heart of spiritual death. And in that place, as the4:34
4 minutes, 34 seconds
substitute, he paid the full penalty for man's high treason. He suffered the second death so that you would never4:42
4 minutes, 42 seconds
have to see it. In the mind of the high court, you were there. You were paying that debt in him. You were suffering4:51
4 minutes, 51 seconds
that penalty in him. Every blow that justice struck against the substitute was legally striking against you. This5:00
5 minutes
is why the victory is so total because the law has nothing left to demand from you. You have already served your time5:09
5 minutes, 9 seconds
in the person of your substitute. But then the scene shifted. The debt was paid in full. The claims of justice were5:18
5 minutes, 18 seconds
satisfied, and from the throne of the universe, the father spoke. He looked down into the dark regions of the grave5:25
5 minutes, 25 seconds
and said, "Thou art my son. This day have I begotten thee." This was the5:32
5 minutes, 32 seconds
justification of the spirit. Jesus was born again in the tomb. He was the first person ever to be raised from spiritual death into life. And because you were5:41
5 minutes, 41 seconds
identified with him in his suffering, you were identified with him in his rebirth.5:50
5 minutes, 50 seconds
1 Peter 1:3 says, "We were begotten again by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." Do you see it?5:58
5 minutes, 58 seconds
You were born again when he was born again. You were raised when he was raised. This is the mystery of oneness.6:06
6 minutes, 6 seconds
You didn't just receive a new life later on. You were legally birthed out of that grave at the same moment as the master.6:14
6 minutes, 14 seconds
You are a reproduction of the resurrected Christ. You carry the same DNA of the spirit that walked out ofChapter 3: Substitution in the Underworld
6:23
6 minutes, 23 seconds
that tomb. Now, let's look at the biological reality of this spirit union.6:28
6 minutes, 28 seconds
Most people think of oneness as a poetic idea, but in the spirit realm, it is a structural reality.6:36
6 minutes, 36 seconds
1 Corinthians 6:17 says, "He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit." Notice it doesn't say two spirits working together. It says one spirit.6:49
6 minutes, 49 seconds
When you were born again, your spirit was not just cleaned up. It was fused into the spirit of the living God. You6:58
6 minutes, 58 seconds
were grafted into the very life of the master. Let me show you what this looks like. Think about a graft in a tree. The life of the trunk flows into the branch.7:10
7 minutes, 10 seconds
The branch no longer lives by its own power. It lives by the Zoey life of the tree. Zoey is the Greek word for the7:18
7 minutes, 18 seconds
life that makes God who he is. It is an unccreated life. It is a life that cannot fail. It is a life that cannot be7:27
7 minutes, 27 seconds
sick. And that life is now the life of your spirit.7:33
7 minutes, 33 seconds
You are a partaker of the divine nature. This is the end of the human limitation.7:41
7 minutes, 41 seconds
Identification means that the life of the master is currently flowing through your spirit and it is pushing out the old life of the fall.7:51
7 minutes, 51 seconds
But here is the struggle for many believers. They have a self-consciousness instead of a Christ consciousness.7:59
7 minutes, 59 seconds
In in his presence, Kenyon explains this critical distinction. They are always thinking about I. I am struggling. I am8:09
8 minutes, 9 seconds
weak. I am poor. But in the mystery of identification, the I has been legally replaced by he.8:18
8 minutes, 18 seconds
Galatians 2:20 is the ultimate legal statement of the new creation. I am crucified with Christ.8:27
8 minutes, 27 seconds
Nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. Notice those four8:35
8 minutes, 35 seconds
words. Not I, but Christ. This is the end of the old self-awareness.8:41
8 minutes, 41 seconds
Identification means that when the father looks at you, he doesn't see you and your mistakes. He sees the Christ who lives in you. He sees his own son.8:52
8 minutes, 52 seconds
And when the devil looks at you, he shouldn't see a struggling human. He should see a God man who is one with the Lord of hosts.9:02
9 minutes, 2 seconds
If you still see yourself as a sinner saved by grace, you haven't seen the mystery. A sinner is someone identified9:08
9 minutes, 8 seconds
with Adam. A new creation is someone identified with Christ.9:14
9 minutes, 14 seconds
You cannot be both at the same time. We must move into the legal release from the Adam family. When you were born into9:22
9 minutes, 22 seconds
this world, you were legally tied to the first Adam. You inherited his failure, his sickness, and his spiritual death.9:31
9 minutes, 31 seconds
It was in your spiritual bloodline.9:34
9 minutes, 34 seconds
No matter how hard you tried to be good, you were still a part of that failed family. But identification has legally moved you out of that bloodline.9:45
9 minutes, 45 seconds
Colossians 1:13 says, "You have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of the sonChapter 4: The Justification of the Spirit: Born Again in the Tomb
9:53
9 minutes, 53 seconds
of his love." You don't have to fight the curses of the old family because you are no longer in that family. You have a10:01
10 minutes, 1 second
new father. You have a new name. You have a new identity. Most people spend their lives trying to break generational10:09
10 minutes, 9 seconds
curses. But Kenyon tells us that the cross didn't just break the curse. It killed the person who was under it. If10:16
10 minutes, 16 seconds
the person who was under the curse is dead and a new creation has taken his10:24
10 minutes, 24 seconds
place, then the curse has no target. It has no legal ground to land on. You are standing on redemption ground.10:36
10 minutes, 36 seconds
You are standing in the family of the king. Now let's look at how this oneness affects your righteousness.10:44
10 minutes, 44 seconds
Most believers think righteousness is something you achieve by being good for 20 years. But Kenyon reveals in new10:52
10 minutes, 52 seconds
creation realities that righteousness is a status that comes from your union.10:58
10 minutes, 58 seconds
If the head of the body is righteous, then every finger and every toe on that body is righteous. You don't have to feel righteous to be righteous. You are11:07
11 minutes, 7 seconds
righteous because you are in him. You can walk into the presence of the father right now and he doesn't see a11:15
11 minutes, 15 seconds
struggling believer. He sees his own son. He sees the same beauty, the same perfection, and the same love in you11:24
11 minutes, 24 seconds
that he sees in Jesus. This oneness also affects your communication with the11:30
11 minutes, 30 seconds
throne. Most people pray as if God is millions of miles away. They shout and they cry trying to get his attention.11:40
11 minutes, 40 seconds
But when you understand identification, you realize that you are praying from within the union. Jesus said in John11:48
11 minutes, 48 seconds
14:20, "At that day ye shall know that I am in my father and ye in me and I in you."11:58
11 minutes, 58 seconds
This is a circle of life. When you speak the word, it is the father speaking through the son speaking through the12:05
12 minutes, 5 seconds
body. Your words carry the weight of the throne because they are not your words.12:12
12 minutes, 12 seconds
They are the words of the union. You are the voice of the head on the earth.Chapter 5: Biological Reality: One Spirit with the Lord
12:19
12 minutes, 19 seconds
Think about the judicial enforcement of this oneness. When a sickness attacks your body, it isn't just attacking a12:26
12 minutes, 26 seconds
human. It is attacking the body of Christ. Would the father allow a disease to sit on the head of the master in12:33
12 minutes, 33 seconds
heaven? Never. Then he will not allow it to sit on the body on the earth. You must learn to say sickness. You are12:42
12 minutes, 42 seconds
touching the body of Christ. I am identified with the resurrected Lord.12:48
12 minutes, 48 seconds
There is no disease in him. Therefore, there is no legal place for disease in me. This is not a mental trick. It is12:56
12 minutes, 56 seconds
the enforcement of a legal verdict. You are refusing to identify with anything that is not in the master. We must move13:05
13 minutes, 5 seconds
beyond identification with the cross and into identification with the throne.13:12
13 minutes, 12 seconds
Ephesians 2:6 says, "We are seated together in heavenly places." Notice the word seated. It is the position of rest.13:22
13 minutes, 22 seconds
It is the position of authority. You are not fighting for victory. You are occupying a victory that has already13:30
13 minutes, 30 seconds
been won. You are looking down at the world from the throne. You are looking down at the devil from the throne. From13:38
13 minutes, 38 seconds
the throne. Every problem looks small from the throne. Every mountain is just13:45
13 minutes, 45 seconds
dust. You must develop a throne consciousness.13:51
13 minutes, 51 seconds
In the hidden man of the heart, Kenyon writes about the importance of seeing yourself from heaven's perspective. You are not crawling on the earth begging13:59
13 minutes, 59 seconds
for mercy. You are seated with Christ in the place of all authority.14:05
14 minutes, 5 seconds
As we continue to look into the mirror of the word, I want you to see the substitution of the senses. Most of our lives are lived through sense knowledge.14:15
14 minutes, 15 seconds
We believe what we feel, what we see, and what we hear. But identification demands that we believe what the word14:23
14 minutes, 23 seconds
says about our union. If your senses say you are weak, but the word says you are strong in the Lord, which one is the truth?14:34
14 minutes, 34 seconds
Identification says that the word is the higher reality. You must identify out of14:41
14 minutes, 41 seconds
the senses and identify in to the spirit. Stop saying I am sick. That is a lie against the union. Christ is not sick and you are one spirit with him.14:53
14 minutes, 53 seconds
Therefore, you cannot be sick in your spirit and that spirit life is trying to manifest in your body. Stop saying I am15:00
15 minutes
a failure. Christ is not a failure and you are one with him. Therefore, you are15:06
15 minutes, 6 seconds
a success. You must learn to agree with the head. When the head says you are blessed, the body must say amen. When15:15
15 minutes, 15 seconds
the head says you are healed, the body must say amen.15:20
15 minutes, 20 seconds
This is the law of oneness. Now I want to talk to you about the spirit reproduction of the new creation. Kenyan15:28
15 minutes, 28 seconds
often said that God literally reproduced himself in our spirits. This is the most shocking part of the revelation. You are15:36
15 minutes, 36 seconds
not just a follower of God. You are a partaker of his life. John 1:12-13 says,Chapter 6: Self-Consciousness vs. Christ-Consciousness
15:44
15 minutes, 44 seconds
"We were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, but of God." You have15:50
15 minutes, 50 seconds
the Zoey DNA in you. You are a God begotten being. This is why the world15:57
15 minutes, 57 seconds
doesn't understand you. They are looking at a human, but there is a spirit inhabitant inside that human body.16:06
16 minutes, 6 seconds
You are a mobile throne room for the living God.16:10
16 minutes, 10 seconds
In the two kinds of knowledge, Kenyon explains that there are two sources of information available to man. There is16:18
16 minutes, 18 seconds
sense knowledge which comes through the five physical senses and there is revelation knowledge which comes16:26
16 minutes, 26 seconds
directly from the spirit of God dwelling in your recreated spirit. The unregenerate man only has access to16:34
16 minutes, 34 seconds
sense knowledge. He can only know what he can see, taste, touch, hear, and smell. But the new creation has access16:43
16 minutes, 43 seconds
to a higher source. You have the mind of Christ. You have the spirit of truth living in you, guiding you into all truth.16:53
16 minutes, 53 seconds
This means you are not limited to what the natural world tells you. When the doctor gives you a bad report, you have17:00
17 minutes
access to a higher report. When the bank account says insufficient funds, you17:07
17 minutes, 7 seconds
have access to the covenant that says my God shall supply all your need. When your emotions say you're going to fail,17:16
17 minutes, 16 seconds
you have access to the word that says, "I can do all things through Christ." This is the advantage of the new17:24
17 minutes, 24 seconds
creation. You are operating from a superior source of information. The world is operating from the basement, but you are operating from the17:32
17 minutes, 32 seconds
penthouse. They are getting their signals from the earth, but you are getting your signals from the throne.17:40
17 minutes, 40 seconds
This oneness is the secret to effortless ease.17:45
17 minutes, 45 seconds
Most people are working hard to be spiritual, but the branch doesn't work hard to grow grapes. It just rests in17:53
17 minutes, 53 seconds
the vine. Identification is the end of the struggle. It is the end of trying.17:59
17 minutes, 59 seconds
It is the beginning of being. You don't have to try to be a son. You are a son. You don't have to try to have authority.18:08
18 minutes, 8 seconds
You occupy authority. The moment you realize your oneness. The struggle stops.18:16
18 minutes, 16 seconds
You just let the life flow. You just let the word speak.18:23
18 minutes, 23 seconds
In new creation realities, Kenyon writes about the importance of reckoning.Chapter 7: Legal Release from the Adam Family
18:28
18 minutes, 28 seconds
Romans 6:11 says, "Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ18:37
18 minutes, 37 seconds
our Lord." To reckon means to count it as true. It means to take an accounting.18:44
18 minutes, 44 seconds
It's a bookkeeping term. You are looking at the ledger of redemption and counting what belongs to you. You reckon that the18:53
18 minutes, 53 seconds
old man is dead. You reckon that you are alive in Christ. You reckon that you are righteous. You reckon that you are healed. You reckon that you are blessed.19:05
19 minutes, 5 seconds
This is not positive thinking. This is legal accounting based on the finished work of Christ. When you reckon19:11
19 minutes, 11 seconds
correctly, your life begins to align with the truth. Your body begins to respond to the fact that you are healed.19:20
19 minutes, 20 seconds
Your finances begin to respond to the fact that you are blessed. Your mind begins to respond to the fact that you have the mind of Christ.19:31
19 minutes, 31 seconds
We are moving into the final enforcement of the revelation. Authority is useless if it is never spoken. Psalm 103:2019:40
19 minutes, 40 seconds
says, "The angels are waiting for the voice of the word." When you speak the word of God, it is not just a man talking. It is the voice of the union.19:51
19 minutes, 51 seconds
If a man's head decides to walk, the feet carry out the decision. Jesus is the head and he has decided that you are20:01
20 minutes, 1 second
free. Your job is to be the feet and the voice that enforces that decision on the20:07
20 minutes, 7 seconds
earth. Stop waiting for God to do something about your situation.20:14
20 minutes, 14 seconds
He has already done everything at the cross. He has already paid the price in the grave. He has already birthed you into the resurrection.20:24
20 minutes, 24 seconds
Now he is waiting for you to realize that you are one with the master.20:31
20 minutes, 31 seconds
Every time you say in the name of Jesus, you are declaring your union. You are saying I am acting as an extension of20:38
20 minutes, 38 seconds
the king. You are not a visitor in the kingdom. You are a permanent resident.20:44
20 minutes, 44 seconds
Think about the judicial power of your words in the marketplace. When you speak the truth, you are enforcing a contract that was signed in blood 2,000 yearsChapter 8: Righteousness as Status from Union
20:53
20 minutes, 53 seconds
ago. When you say, "I am the head and not the tail," you are enforcing the21:00
21 minutes
legal verdict of the new creation. When you say, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper," you are serving an21:09
21 minutes, 9 seconds
eviction notice to every work of darkness.21:12
21 minutes, 12 seconds
As we close this master class, I want you to look into the mirror of the word one more time.21:19
21 minutes, 19 seconds
Stop looking at your mistakes. Stop looking at your past. Stop looking at your limitations.21:26
21 minutes, 26 seconds
Look at Christ. And then realize that everything you see in him is true about21:33
21 minutes, 33 seconds
you. He is your identity. He is your life. He is your all in all. You are a21:40
21 minutes, 40 seconds
master over the senses. You are a ruler over the darkness. You are the light of the world. Not because of what you have done, but because of who you are in him.21:53
21 minutes, 53 seconds
The old you is gone forever. The new you is alive in the glory. Now, let's do a practical exercise in identification.22:03
22 minutes, 3 seconds
Right now, whatever is troubling you, I want you to see it through the eyes of the substitute. If you have pain in your22:11
22 minutes, 11 seconds
body, see Jesus on the cross carrying that specific pain. See him going into the grave with it. And then see him22:19
22 minutes, 19 seconds
coming out without it. If he came out without it and you are in him, then you have come out without it, too. That pain22:27
22 minutes, 27 seconds
is a legal trespasser. Say out loud, I refuse to identify with this pain. I22:34
22 minutes, 34 seconds
identify with the resurrected Christ. I am one with him and he is well. This is22:41
22 minutes, 41 seconds
how you master the senses. You refuse to agree with what you feel and you insist on agreeing with what you are. You are22:50
22 minutes, 50 seconds
not a human being trying to get to heaven. You are a heaven-born spirit being dominating the earth.22:58
22 minutes, 58 seconds
Identification is your victory. It is the secret of the ages revealed to you today.23:06
23 minutes, 6 seconds
Let me give you another example. If you are struggling with financial lack, see Jesus on the cross being stripped ofChapter 9: Substitution of the Senses: Mastering What You Feel
23:15
23 minutes, 15 seconds
everything. He was made poor with your poverty. He became the curse of lack so that you could become the blessing of23:24
23 minutes, 24 seconds
abundance. In that moment of substitution, your poverty was nailed to the tree with him. Now see him in the23:33
23 minutes, 33 seconds
resurrection. He came out of that grave clothed in glory. He came out with all authority. He came out as the owner of23:42
23 minutes, 42 seconds
everything. And because you are identified with him in his resurrection, you came out with him. Your poverty23:50
23 minutes, 50 seconds
stayed in the grave. Your lack was left behind in the tomb. The you that was broke died. The you that is alive right23:59
23 minutes, 59 seconds
now is joined to the supplier of all things. You are not a poor person asking24:07
24 minutes, 7 seconds
God for money. You are a wealthy heir reminding yourself of what you already own in the covenant. The same applies to24:15
24 minutes, 15 seconds
fear. If fear is gripping your heart right now, understand that fear is not from the union. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God24:25
24 minutes, 25 seconds
hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." If God didn't give it to you,24:34
24 minutes, 34 seconds
then it's an illegal immigrant in your spirit. Where did fear come from? It came from the old man. It came from Adam's nature. But that nature is dead.24:46
24 minutes, 46 seconds
You are not identified with the fearful one anymore. You are identified with the lion of the tribe of Judah. You are24:55
24 minutes, 55 seconds
identified with the one who said, "Fear not. I have overcome the world. Stop saying, "I'm so scared." That's the old25:04
25 minutes, 4 seconds
man talking. The new man says, "I am more than a conqueror. I am seated in heavenly places. I am one with the fearless one." Take a deep breath.25:16
25 minutes, 16 seconds
Feel the life of God in your spirit right now. that life is more powerful than any disease. It is more powerful25:23
25 minutes, 23 seconds
than any addiction. It is more powerful than death itself. You are one with the victor. You are one with the king.25:33
25 minutes, 33 seconds
Identification has made you a joint heir. Everything that belongs to him is yours. His righteousness is yours. His authority is yours. His peace is yours.Chapter 10: Practical Exercise: Identifying with the Substitute
25:44
25 minutes, 44 seconds
His courage is yours. His strength is yours. His victory is yours.25:50
25 minutes, 50 seconds
Walk out of the mindset of the slave and into the mindset of the heir. Stop talking about what you can't do. Start25:59
25 minutes, 59 seconds
talking about what he can do through you.26:03
26 minutes, 3 seconds
Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ which strengthenth me.26:10
26 minutes, 10 seconds
That Christ is in you, he is identified with you. You are his hands, his feet,26:17
26 minutes, 17 seconds
his voice. Go out today and represent him well. Every morning when you wake up, before your feet hit the floor,26:25
26 minutes, 25 seconds
remind yourself, I am not the old man. I am not the failure. I am not the sick26:32
26 minutes, 32 seconds
one. I am not the poor one. I am not the fearful one. I am one with Christ. His26:40
26 minutes, 40 seconds
life is my life. His nature is my nature. His victory is my victory.26:46
26 minutes, 46 seconds
