Book Cover & Preview Text
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Jesus said to pick up your cross and follow me. For years I struggled to carry my cross and tried hard to figure out what that meant. How do I practically carry my own execution device around with me all day long? Was it to let people walk all over me? Was it to degrade myself as a lowly sinner and continually confess my sins? Was it to berate myself with an I’m just a lousy sinner mentality? Was it to believe that I was an unworthy worm deserving of condemnation and hell? No! Why would Father pay the highest price for garbage? Father so loved us that He sent His Son. Not to have a religion with us but to have close intimate relations with us. So close in fact that the third Person of the Holy Trinity was sent to inhabit us. Holy Spirit can’t dwell in unclean temples. So how then can He dwell in a nasty sinner? He can not and does not. He dwells in F-athers beloved children. He is happy to dwell in us and desires to communicate with us nonstop. Changing our views on how our flesh is crucified brings about great transformation. So back to carrying your cross. It is the identity that Christ affords us that we need to carry through our agreement and our belief system. How do we practically do that? By taking thoughts captive and ending false humility. Let’s drop the I’m a sinner mentality like a hot rock and choose to believe what Father says in His Word is absolute truth. It is make believe to ascertain that our flesh is alive and well and thwarting our transformation. It is a lie to believe that we are dirty filthy sinners. It is false humility to come before Father in prayer proclaiming we are unworthy. He has made us worthy through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. So how do we pick up our crosses. By believing that we are crucified with Christ and that our old nature is dead and it is being imitated by the dark forces in this world to try and convince us that it is still alive, but that is in direct conflict with this truth. It is up to us to decide. Sinner or saint? You choose! Father, I am blown away by Your unfathomable grace and mercy. I’m so grateful that You have transferred me from darkness to light. I am a new creation and the old man is dead. It is not part of who I am to be drawn into temptation. I’m so grateful that You have removed my old flesh completely. I will walk in great confidence and communicate with in-dwelling Holy Spirit more and more. I will listen to Your voice and I will hear You speak. I’m forever grateful. I love You. In Jesus name. Amen.

About the Book
If we embrace the truth that we have been crucified in Christ, the world no longer fulfills our desires. We don’t need applause or adulation from anyone. We only need approval from Christ, the one who loves us unconditionally.
In a sixty-three-day devotional, Keith Murphy guides believers to shed their sinful natures, rewire old mindsets, embrace the Father’s truths, and build confidence in their new creation identity. Through scripture, personal reflections, and inspirational prayers, Murphy leads Christians to develop and nurture a truth-driven belief system that provides greater freedom and a much smaller appetite for sin, encourages a new way of seeing ourselves as righteous and the way our Father does, and praising Him with a clear conscience and clean hands.
Crucified Son is a sixty-three-day devotional that leads Christians away from their sinful natures and toward the Father’s truths while building confidence in their new creation identity.
About the Author
Keith Murphy is a born again Christian, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a contractor. He spent most of his school career, dodging English class and has always disliked writing. In 2016 he discovered that he could get revelation more clearly as he wrote about each scripture that Holy Spirit was highlighting. Revelation became more clear and writing became a joy. Time with Holy Spirit grew more intimate, and these devotional writings are what came out of those transforming times.
It is Keith’s prayer that the short commentaries and prayers would help to shift the way a believer thinks and would facilitate a holy spirit driven transformation.
Healthy identity, and new creation, living with a focus on the ages to come are at the heart of these devotionals. Old mindsets are challenged and religious ways are exposed so that transformation can happen.
