Many have stated that I am just a sinner saved by grace . But we are so much more than that ! The Bible says that I am a new creation . 2 Corinthians 5:17 , ESV says , “ Therefore , if anyone is in Christ , he is a new creation . The old has passed away ; behold , the new has come .” This means we have become cherished children of God . We are members of the royal family ! The Bible says we will judge angels . Now is the time to not only claim that we are citizens of Heaven , but to live our lives in such a way that the world would know at a glance that we are ! It is time to stand up , be bold , walk into the dark places of this world , and take God ’ s holy light with us . This world has been deceived into thinking as long as they live a good life , they will go to Heaven . We all know that is a lie from the pits of hell . We need to stand up and tell the devil to get out of our lives and do spiritual battle for the ones losing the fight . We all know the Bible says that by the mere mention of the name of Jesus Christ , the devil and his fallen followers must flee .

It is time we stop thinking that someone else with more knowledge or power will do it . This is our time to stand up , march into this world , and bring the lost to the foot of the throne of God ! We have the power , the knowledge , the

Great Commission , and the backing of God Almighty Himself ! It does not matter what you have or have not done in the past . This is a new year , and you are a new creation . In 2023 , CMA is going to take this world by storm ! We will not back up , back away , or apologize for God or His Word !

I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield ! CMA
