Good
Morning and Merry Christmas!
Well,
I am having to let The Lord "put the bit in my mouth" and
"tighten the reins", because I want to hurry up and get into the
covenant "promises"!
However, He wants to finish laying the "foundation". I
know this is important. It even has to be done "in the natural" when
we are building. Nobody gets real excited about the
"foundation"....it's like "okay, let's get on with it and
finish building so I can start decorating"! You
know what? Without a foundation under your "house", none of
your decorated rooms are going to matter when the
"storms" come! I hope that you can see the spiritual
"analogy" here. This is where we miss it so many times...we
only want to know about the "promises" of God's covenant without
having an understanding about "why" those promises are
secure! How much "faith" can you have in a
"building" if you don't know whether or not it has a
"foundation"?
So,
before we get into the covenant "promises" of God, let us make sure
that our "foundation" for believing in those promises is
the very fact that Jesus shed His blood in order for us to "qualify"
for those "promises! This, my precious ones, will give you the
"faith" that you need to see those promises come to pass in your
life!
If
you have accepted Jesus into your heart, and have made Him the Lord of your
life, then you have a "covenant" with God! Remember
this....it is not because of what you do, it is because of what
JESUS did! When you really believe that the "blood
of Jesus" brought you into a covenant with God, then you have laid your
"foundation" and now you are ready to "decorate"!
To be continued~~~~~~
