Covenant Matters

This is the Truth Network horses just to inspire you relationship with Almighty God that empowers Congress things you never thought possible. Shirley Weaver wants to take you and now yesterday's episode is something I learned about listening to the Lord for what his direction is for my life are in any situation is that in prayer you can hear and sense the presence of the Lord you can hear his voice, his the impression the strongest impression that he is making on your spirit. So we pay attention to what we hear in prayer and right now there two things that are coming out of the Spirit of God seemed very strong to me just cannot pass that along has to do with the voice and the leading of the Spirit how it affects our understanding of covenant. The power of the new covenant. So first of all, the voice that I hear the voice that I hear. That means that I pay attention to heed take into my heart to integrate into my life and then to apply it to my life. That voice voice that I hear from the outside that really matters. It's Luke 818. So the way that I hear as I hear the way I take in the voice that I hear it matters. And secondly, the voice has a message so the message matters. It's synchronized really the voice and the message are really one so this voice has a message that is said more than once. Anything that I say more than once reinforces what is being said and therefore what I hear, so it also matters that the message is clear is clear is where we get the name for our ministry.

A clear trumpet that is the corporate name of our ministry. It matters the way we communicate.

The thing that God is saying the message he is giving it matters that we communicate that message clearly. So again secondly this message in this voice are one so it matters that it's clear I hear the Lord reinforcing to me this word covenant. His covenant with me and so what difference does it make that I have a covenant with him. He and I have entered into a covenant relationally based on really the fact that I am born again you can do the same thing by virtue of your born-again relationship with him and it really doesn't matter.

So think about it this way, what ever you talk about is the thing you reinforce and therefore it affects the context with which you approach anything that is going on in your life the way God is leading you in the way that you perceive and understand God's response so this is how it works. He speaks to us as we said as we began this episode, it depends what he is saying what you are sensing so it begins with him. He doesn't really begin with you are me. It begins with ham as he speaking what it is he says and how he is communicating with with us so he is talking about something that we hear then we began to talk about what he is talking about Luke 818. It matters what you hear the sons of God are led and therefore talk about what the Spirit of God is talking about. So what does the Lord say about his covenant. This is what I think he applies covenant to everything so it matters what my expectation and understanding of this covenant I have with him what it is everything that I need I draw from the spirit of God, and I do it on the basis of covenant and that incorporates many things that we learn from his word we learn from walking with him but it's it's really covenant in the same way that God quote cut the covenant with the patriarch Abraham Abram the way that he cut the covenant beginning then fast forward to the new God calls a better covenant that is of the Spirit, not just the letter, not the letter of the law. It's a it's something that is written on the heart has to do with relationship. Basically has everything to do with the relationship that I have with him that you have with him, and to that point of relationship to passages in the New Testament say basically the same thing. Luke 2220 and first Corinthians 1125.

I quote this cup that is poured out for you" is the new covenant in my blood. So this new covenant in the blood of Jesus is quote poured out for me. The blood of the covenant is a cup that is poured out for me, it bears repeating this cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. So the truth here is impacted because it applies to our life through the shed blood of the covenant.

A blood covenant because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. So for me it's a way of expressing what's going on in my heart because I understand the power of the blood understand the power the supernatural rendering of a blood covenant.

This blood was poured out was completely emptied in poured out what for me this is a this is covenant language is a common understanding that God Almighty my heavenly father has quote cut a covenant with me because of the blood of Jesus Christ.

So see, that's the point from which my appeal originates again. I don't mean to "overly simplify anything but just to say it really is important how you understand that your relationship with him as a born-again believer is based on a blood covenant where he has set up provision for you from every possible breach anything that life would bring any encounter that you have as you walk with him. We understand that things do not always go well but then they don't always go badly, though we have a big say because we are a covenant partner with him. It's like David the shepherd boy. He understood the character of God. He understood the covenant provision. So the giant Goliath had to come into a perspective that you know was consistent with the fact that God is God and Goliath is not so big as David believed that understood it with the revelation he was able to encounter's a overwhelming odd kind of contest and came out victorious so I think about that a lot and it it should really frame the way that we pray and in the way that we say another thing that strongly believe is that there is power in what we say how we say it, the degree of fate that we have, as we say it, which would resonate as confidence as boldness because it's not the power that I have is his power flowing through me made available to me on the basis of his word promised and I say to every promise of his of his yes and amen his word says to every promise.

Yes and amen I have wisdom to agree with what he says to his promise sell assay what he says yes yes and amen and amen.

Hebrews 1224 Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant. He's the go-between and he is the mediator of a covenant and the sprinkled blood that speaks you see there's power. There's so much power in a spiritual sense.

We understand the value of what we communicate with our words are message should be clear.

It should be easily and well understood.

We should understand that the blood of Jesus that was sprinkled on the mercy seat has a voice and that it speaks and is speaking concerning you. So as you pray, and if she petition the Lord and as you walk with him think that way you have the mind of Christ. That means you think like him are you have the potential to think like him and so you can say, as he says and what he speaks. The same thing the same words and often often say it declare over your household.

The covenant of the blood of the Lamb with Almighty God, that you have by virtue of being a born-again believer who trust in, and it hears to that trust that his wealth of love for you cannot be separated from you. You cannot be separated from but it holds his love for you holds and so we say pray big prayers ask God for everything reach for everything that is in your heart. Don't hold back believe the supernatural God for a supernatural display in and through your life so that the manifestation of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the earth. Looks like him reflects him his love, his power, his kingdom dynamics. Everything poured out, this cup is poured out for you and for me on the basis of covenant. So the voice and the message matter. These two things again the voice that you hear that you pay attention to that you heed that you take into your heart and spirit to integrate it into your life and to apply to your life, the voice matters. Luke 818. The way you hear and apply matters, and secondly the voice is also a message. And the more you hear the voice the more you hear the message you are reinforced in your understanding. It matters that it's clear that you hear clearly and that you hear the Lord reinforcing to you his covenant with you and what difference does it make it makes all the difference. We are in the world but not of it.

We function in a natural environment environment with a supernatural endowment we have the mind of Christ. His thought life and we allow this mind which was also in Christ Jesus to be in us, and the context of that scripture out of Peter is relational. The context is about relationships.

Listen, you need to think about the covenant, the way God thinks about his covenant.

You need to see and perceive it as he does and then implement that let them show you that let him show you that and then let your prayer come this way he he impresses you in your time of prayer with him.

You may hear one word you may hear a phrase you may hear a sentence that is God speaking to you write that down, write it down.

Don't let it get away from you. Don't think you will necessarily remember later because the word says as soon as the word is sown into the heart. The enemy comes to steal the seed of the word list, it become fruitful and productive. So don't wait as you hear him write what he says and then ponder that operate and consider that and then apply and integrate that into your life and then appealed to him on the basis of what he has already sent to you. You see is such a supernatural process. It's not you telling God what to do. It is the Lord instructing you. You respond in hear and obey him, and then you sound just like him and he looked us that he who loves that he said that he would look for me that would stand in the gap.

You know you can't stand in the gap unless your your hearing him and then your steer synchronized with him and his cadence is your cadence and his pace is your pace.

Think about it it's powerful and is possible is possible for you and you know it has no bounds. It doesn't matter where we live, what our status in life is we have the same spirit, the same speaking spirit and we are covered with and affected by the blood of Jesus that speaks a better covenant than anything this going on around us. That's why the martyrs testimony is that his grace is sufficient because they knew him they know him that clearly I want that I want that. I know that's what you want.

So as we were running with horses as we are running with the horses that are pulling the king's chariot.

We have this energy and we have this endowment.

This download of power and therefore we can speak to the culture, what ever it is to our generation. What ever it is to our nation. Whatever it is we are not limited the word of God is not changed. It is not so.

It is unlimited and you are unlimited.

Please think about this.

These two things that the voice you hear is important in the message messenger. The clear voice that you hear is important because it determines within what he will say explicitly if you enjoy this episode and you'd like to help support this project, please share it with others.
