Covenant Foundations

God's View:
Heb. 13:20-21 ; Phil. 2:12-13 -No human effort here whatsoever, it is the power of the Blood of Jesus. This is the grace of God, God does it all after all. It is not what I do right or my motives, it is Jesus working through me accomplishing His goals and objectives. My life is not based on what I do or not do, it is based on what Jesus did for me. What He works in me, it is my responsibility to work it out.

Hope:
Lev. 17:11 , 14 ; Heb. 9:22 ; 9:12 ; 10:1-10-Blood is the seal of the covenant. The life is in the blood. The blood remits sin, blood is the only way to God. Through the blood we are ripped out of the confines of humanity and catapulted into the nature of Christ-a one time action, a finality! This revelation comes in degrees, the realization that the covenant is for us to live and to act as God's representative here on earth.

Rev. 12:10-11 ; Eph. 6:11-16 ; Heb. 10:19-23 ; Jn. 14:6 -The Blood speaks over the life of the believer, and all the promises of God are our inheritance. The Blood speaks to Satan because the blood remitted all sins of humanity. Jesus sacrificed Himself to make us free. The armor is the very nature of God Himself. It is God praying and willing through me, He is the source. I don't have to win a war, it is God's battle. Jesus defeated Satan on the cross.

JN. 14:6 ; Heb. 9:12 ; 10:19-23-By the Blood of Jesus, we enter into the pure holiness of God's Kingdom, Not anything I do but by Jesus I have instant access and the confidence to enter. Because I have fellowship with God, I can proclaim and declare God's word.

Change:
Lu. 16:9-13 ; 2 Cor. 4:5-7 -God trusts me because of covenant. He puts into my hands His words and promises. I have a bond and trust with the Lord and He trusts me to carry out His commands. I am in trade with God. My job is to provide revelation knowledge of God and make others wealthy in covenant understanding.

l Jn. 1:3 , 7 -We have fellowship, joint participation and experience with God Himself. We are not inferior to anyone because the Blood of Jesus perpetually washes my relationship. I have no choice but to love. Nothing on earth can break my relationship with God for it is sealed with His blood and promises.

Jn. 6:53-58 ; l Cor. 11:23-26 ; Heb. 7:25 -Blood flows continuously amd perpetually. The Blood brings to mind all covenant actions and promises. Realize the past is remitted completely, the stains of sin removed forever. Thus, dwell always on God's promises. God bestowed life into my life, give this life to others to complete the process. All shame, guilt, defeat and inferiority are gone. I am strong in the power of His might by the Blood of Jesus. No longer co-dependent but completely dependent upon God. I am invincible and awesome in God.
