Everyday Genesis

Nika Maples

inviting God to re-create you

Insightful speaker and writer Nika Maples illustrates how Creation week reveals God's pattern to bring us new life--spirit, soul, and body. Are you tired of trying--and failing--to break bad habits? And what about those sins that have been weighing you down for years? Do you often feel stuck ... being you? Starting over is not as difficult as we think. The Genesis account of Creation reveals a divine sequence, showing us the secrets to new life. When we invite the Creator to make us new, we release any blame and regret we carry and embrace His foundation for re-creation, a new life. There we find exactly Who was presiding over the genesis of the earth. He can re-create us with a similar process: first bringing us revelation, then giving us benefits such as purpose and guidance, and finally teaching us to build a legacy. Through the divine sequence of Creation, we can learn simple spiritual disciplines for abiding in Christ and staying in step with the Spirit. If we want to begin again, we start at the Beginning
