YouTube - The New Covenant
1
00:00:00,0 --> 00:00:07,607
Dear friends, I want to talk today about the NEW COVENANT
2
00:00:07,607 --> 00:00:13,346
and that is the reason for us being together
3
00:00:13,346 --> 00:00:18,451
It is because God has given us a new covenant in Jesus Christ
4
00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:24,457
and that is the subject of my message today
5
00:00:24,491 --> 00:00:35,335
I want you to turn with me to the Book of Hebrews 10
and I want to read from Hebrews 10
because this is very important for us
6
00:00:35,335 --> 00:00:39,572
The NEW COVENANT IN CHRIST JESUS
7
00:00:39,572 --> 00:00:45,912
what God has given us
If you got your Bible with you please open it at Hebrews 10:5-10
8
00:00:45,912 --> 00:01:02,395
I read verse 5, He says: Therefore, when He comes into the world.
He says, Sacrifice and offerings Thou hast not desired,
but a body Thou hast prepared for Me
9
00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:07,734
:6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
Thou hast taken no pleasure
10
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:16,76
:7 Then I said, Behold I have come.
In the role of the Book it is written of Me to do Thy Will O God
11
00:01:16,76 --> 00:01:28,822
:8 After saying above Sacrifices and offerings and whole
burnt offerings and sascrifices for sin
Thou has not desired nor hast Thou taken pleasure in them
12
00:01:28,822 --> 00:01:33,493
Which are offered according to the Law
13
00:01:33,493 --> 00:01:38,264
:9 then He said Behold I have come to do Thy will
14
00:01:38,264 --> 00:01:44,504
He takes away the first in order to establish the second.
15
00:01:44,504 --> 00:01:55,482
:10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all.
16
00:01:55,548 --> 00:02:06,359
Dear friends the OLD COVENANT required
the sacrifice of bulls and rams for sin
17
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:08,628
but it could not CLEANSE a person
18
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:12,298
And God made a NEW COVENANT
He gave a NEW COVENANT
19
00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:19,372
He sent JESUS CHRIST to be the offering
the propituation for our sins
20
00:02:19,372 --> 00:02:22,208
And whereas the previous covenant
21
00:02:22,208 --> 00:02:28,381
the LAW was written on paper there is a NEW COVENANT
22
00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:34,154
that God has given and that is "Emmanuel GOD WITH US"
23
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:36,723
JESUS CHRIST IN US
24
00:02:36,723 --> 00:02:41,394
And this is exciting because if we go on and we read in Hebrews 10:16
25
00:02:41,394 --> 00:02:48,1
He says :16 This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days says the Lord
26
00:02:48,1 --> 00:02:53,740
I will PUT MY LAWS upon their HEART and
upon their MIND
27
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:57,310
I will WRITE them. He then says
28
00:02:57,310 --> 00:03:02,115
:17 And their SINS and their LAWLESS DEEDS
I will REMEMBER NO MORE
29
00:03:02,115 --> 00:03:09,55
:19 Since therefore brethren we have confidence
to enter the Holy place
30
00:03:09,55 --> 00:03:11,424
I go back to verse 18 He says
31
00:03:11,424 --> 00:03:17,597
Now where there is forgiveness of these things
there is no longer any offering for sin
32
00:03:17,597 --> 00:03:23,636
:19 Since therefore brethren we have confidence to enter
the Holy place by the Blood of Jesus
33
00:03:23,636 --> 00:03:29,309
:20 By a new and living way which He inaugurated for us
through the veil, that is His flesh
34
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:32,379
:21 and since we have a Great Priest over the house of God
35
00:03:32,379 --> 00:03:36,850
:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith
36
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:44,190
having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience
and our bodies washed with pure water.
37
00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:50,897
Dear friends, the important part here that I want to talk about is
38
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:56,936
:16 He says This is the COVENANT that I will MAKE
with them after those days says the Lord
39
00:03:56,936 --> 00:04:01,775
I will PUT MY LAWS UPON their HEART
and UPON their MIND I will WRITE them
40
00:04:01,775 --> 00:04:06,613
:17 their SINS and their LAWLESS DEEDS
I will REMEMBER NO MORE
41
00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:13,219
The previous covenant the Law of Moses
was written on paper
42
00:04:13,219 --> 00:04:18,658
But God has come and has given us a NEW COVENANT IN JESUS
43
00:04:18,658 --> 00:04:21,94
That when we accept Jesus as our Lord
44
00:04:21,94 --> 00:04:25,165
HE PUTS HIS LAWS IN OUR HEARTS
45
00:04:25,165 --> 00:04:28,1
It is not the covenant of death
46
00:04:28,1 --> 00:04:30,170
but it is the covenant of life
47
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:34,674
It is not written on paper but it is in our hearts
48
00:04:34,674 --> 00:04:40,980
so that we shall KNOW JESUS.
Jesus said that M Y SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE
49
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:42,182
they LISTEN TO ME
50
00:04:42,182 --> 00:04:45,919
We don't need to go and SEEK for the TRUTH
51
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:49,556
If we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and our Master
52
00:04:49,556 --> 00:04:51,958
then we KNOW the TRUTH
53
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:55,895
Because He writes His Laws in our HEARTS
54
00:04:55,895 --> 00:05:10,910
He says I will put My Laws upon their HEART
55
00:05:10,910 --> 00:05:13,813
and upon their MIND I will WRITE them
56
00:05:13,813 --> 00:05:19,52
So He puts His Laws in our hearts
and in our mind
57
00:05:19,52 --> 00:05:22,789
So we got to be FOCUSED ON JESUS ALL THE TIME
58
00:05:22,789 --> 00:05:25,258
and then we will HEAR HIS VOICE
59
00:05:25,258 --> 00:05:27,994
We will KNOW what the WILL OF GOD IS
60
00:05:27,994 --> 00:05:32,732
because JESUS IS IN US, He puts His Spirit in us
61
00:05:32,732 --> 00:05:35,902
and therefore when we hear His voice
62
00:05:35,902 --> 00:05:38,204
we must NOT REFUSE HIM
63
00:05:38,204 --> 00:05:39,706
we must NOT IGNORE HIM
64
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:45,45
We must not go look for Jesus in another place
65
00:05:45,45 --> 00:05:52,752
He is not in a church, He is not in a building
He is not betweeen the pages of the Bible
66
00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:58,491
He put His Spirit in us in our hearts and He is livng in us
67
00:05:58,491 --> 00:06:02,929
We must LISTEN and then we will LIVE
68
00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:05,565
We must OBEY HIM every moment of our lives
69
00:06:05,565 --> 00:06:10,937
And that is so exciting dear friends because that is
what EMMANUEL means
70
00:06:10,937 --> 00:06:13,740
CHRIST WITH US
GOD WITH US
71
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:23,516
God Almighty has come and He has made His abode
His house with us, in us
72
00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:26,453
We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit
73
00:06:26,453 --> 00:06:30,957
We are the Kingdom of God because God lives in us
74
00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:35,362
If we open our hearts and let Jesus come in
75
00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:43,269
He says that the Kingdom of God does not come with visible signs
because the Kingdom of God is IN YOU
76
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:46,106
And dear friends, if Jesus lives in us
77
00:06:46,106 --> 00:06:49,175
if He is the Lord of our lives
78
00:06:49,175 --> 00:06:52,712
and we have become the temple of the Holy Spirit
79
00:06:52,712 --> 00:06:55,48
then GOD LIVES IN US
80
00:06:55,48 --> 00:06:57,484
We are His Holy Temple
81
00:06:57,484 --> 00:07:00,387
and that is why we must LIVE in UTTER HOLINESS
82
00:07:00,387 --> 00:07:04,57
and UTTER OBEDIENCE TO HIM ALL THE TIME
83
00:07:04,57 --> 00:07:08,194
The Lord is pressing on my heart to speak about HOLINESS
84
00:07:08,194 --> 00:07:10,230
because GOD LIVES IN A HOLY TEMPLE
85
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:12,932
If we are NOT HOLY
86
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:14,834
then the Holy Spirit will NOT LIVE IN US
87
00:07:14,834 --> 00:07:16,803
He will NOT WORK THROUGH US
88
00:07:16,803 --> 00:07:23,543
There are so many believers that have never had that
REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
89
00:07:23,543 --> 00:07:27,781
They still LOVE SIN
They are looking for ENTERTAINMENT IN THE WORLD
90
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:32,952
The things of this world has such a great appeal to them
it still draws them
91
00:07:32,952 --> 00:07:36,156
They are watching the movies, they are watching the television (TV)
92
00:07:36,156 --> 00:07:39,859
They are so engulfed in the things of this world
93
00:07:39,859 --> 00:07:43,563
they want the things of the world
they want to be part of the world
94
00:07:43,563 --> 00:07:45,565
they want to compete in this world
95
00:07:45,665 --> 00:07:49,35
Dear friends if Christ lives in us
96
00:07:49,35 --> 00:07:56,576
then all these other things become of less significance
they don't matter any more
97
00:07:56,576 --> 00:07:58,545
they don't count to us any more
98
00:07:58,545 --> 00:08:04,617
All we are interested in is LISTENING TO THE MASTER
99
00:08:04,617 --> 00:08:06,52
We HEAR HIS VOICE ALL THE TIME
100
00:08:06,52 --> 00:08:07,921
because we are TUNED INTO HIM
101
00:08:07,921 --> 00:08:12,959
He has put His Laws in our hearts
We know what is right
102
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:15,395
We know what the will of God is
103
00:08:15,395 --> 00:08:20,533
because He lives in us.
But if we don't tune in to the will of God
104
00:08:20,533 --> 00:08:24,237
if we do not Focused on the Kingdom of God
we will NOT HEAR HIM
105
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:30,810
And that is why Jesus also said:
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness
106
00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:34,80
and all the other things will be added unto you
107
00:08:34,80 --> 00:08:41,955
Somebody wrtes today to me He says it is written that we
can ask whatever we will and it will be given to us
108
00:08:41,955 --> 00:08:48,895
Yes it is, but that is ONLY AFTER we have made
Jesus the King of our lives, the Lord of our lives.
109
00:08:48,895 --> 00:08:51,931
If we are SEEKING THE KINGDOM OF GOD
110
00:08:51,931 --> 00:08:56,603
then what we are seeking is to BUILD the KINGDOM OF GOD
111
00:08:56,603 --> 00:09:02,175
to LIVE the PURPOSE OF GOD THROUGH US
112
00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:07,681
because JESUS has a SPECIFIC PLAN with each and every one of us
113
00:09:07,681 --> 00:09:09,849
We are here for a PURPOSE
114
00:09:09,849 --> 00:09:12,85
We are here for GOD"S PURPOSE
115
00:09:12,85 --> 00:09:13,653
Not for our own purpose
116
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:17,290
God has put us in a special place each and every one of us
117
00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:22,429
for HIS PURPOSE. He has made us go
through certain things in our lives
118
00:09:22,429 --> 00:09:26,166
He has custom built us for His purpose
119
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:30,570
but UNLESS we tune into the Holy Spirit and
LISTEN
120
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:34,107
and PUT JESUS FIRST, put Him on the throne of our hearts
121
00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:38,345
we will NOT HEAR, we will NOT UNDERSTAND
122
00:09:38,345 --> 00:09:41,414
Unless we TRUST HIM we will NOT LISTEN
123
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:44,50
because the moment that you DOUBT
124
00:09:44,50 --> 00:09:45,318
you STOP LISTENING
125
00:09:45,318 --> 00:09:50,690
People ask the Lord for things and then it doesn't happen
it will happen, in God's time
126
00:09:50,690 --> 00:09:58,665
We must SUBMIT our WILL, our UNDERSTANDING,
our MIND and everything to GOD
127
00:09:58,765 --> 00:10:01,468
and then He will enlighten us
128
00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:03,3
He will show us His will
129
00:10:03,3 --> 00:10:06,306
He will share His secrets with us
130
00:10:06,306 --> 00:10:10,176
He will tell us where and how He wants to use us
131
00:10:10,176 --> 00:10:13,913
But we have to be FOCUSED ON JESUS CHRIST all the time
132
00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:15,15
NOT on our own DESIRES
133
00:10:15,15 --> 00:10:23,656
Because the FLESH DESIRES against the Spirit of God
The Kingdom of God is us desires to do the will of God
134
00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:28,561
and to bring many, many other people into the Kingdom of God
135
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:32,98
but unless we are FOCUSED ON the KINGDOM OF GOD
136
00:10:32,98 --> 00:10:34,234
unless we are FOCUSED ON JESUS CHRIST
137
00:10:34,234 --> 00:10:37,570
living in us, His Spirit in us
138
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:40,473
we won't hear
we won't observe
139
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:43,109
Many Christians are living in SIN
140
00:10:43,109 --> 00:10:46,546
Jesus said those who are PURE IN HEART
141
00:10:46,546 --> 00:10:48,415
they will SEE GOD
142
00:10:48,415 --> 00:10:50,950
So if we are not hearing the voice of God
143
00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:54,554
if we are not seeing the Hand of God in our lives
144
00:10:54,554 --> 00:10:57,657
and if we are not seeing the purpose of God
145
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:59,426
then it is because our hearts are NOT PURE
146
00:10:59,426 --> 00:11:01,294
We are CONTAMINATED
147
00:11:01,294 --> 00:11:04,864
We have other things that are more important
148
00:11:04,864 --> 00:11:10,170
they are obsticles and they are blocking out our vision
149
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:14,941
our appreciation, our understanding of the will of God
150
00:11:14,941 --> 00:11:19,846
If we PURIFY our hearts and we become HOLY
151
00:11:19,846 --> 00:11:22,482
We say, Lord I am here to serve Thee
152
00:11:22,482 --> 00:11:35,995
Like Jesus said, and we read it in Hebrews 10
He says :9 He says: Behold I have come to do Thy will
153
00:11:36,96 --> 00:11:39,432
And that is what He has called us for dear friends
154
00:11:39,432 --> 00:11:42,168
is to DO THE WILL OF GOD
155
00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:46,673
And therefore He writes His mind in us
156
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:53,380
He puts His Law in our HEART and upon their MIND I will WRITE them
157
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:57,350
The will of God is written inside of us dear friends
158
00:11:57,350 --> 00:12:06,259
The only reason why we cannot observe it, understand it
and know it, is because we are contaminated
159
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:13,600
because we have IMPURITY in us.
We are still concerned about our own things
160
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,702
we are not concerned about the Kingdom of God
161
00:12:15,702 --> 00:12:17,971
we are worried about the things of this world
162
00:12:17,971 --> 00:12:22,842
about our self and therefore we cannot see the will of God
163
00:12:22,842 --> 00:12:28,915
we cannot understand it, we can't get through to God.
Many people say that they have this ceiling above them
164
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:31,551
they cannot hear God, they don't understand
165
00:12:31,551 --> 00:12:34,587
They are busy with themselves, they are not busy with Him.
166
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:39,292
Dear friends, this new covenant is exciting because it is GOD WITH US
167
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:41,94
and US WITH GOD
168
00:12:41,94 --> 00:12:46,399
Us being part of the Kingdom of God,
Hearing His voice and doing His will
169
00:12:46,466 --> 00:12:51,104
The Laws of God are written inside of you my dear friend
170
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:54,641
The will of God is written in your mind
171
00:12:54,641 --> 00:13:02,882
if you open your Spirit and your mind to the Holy Spirit of God
and you PURIFY yourself of self
172
00:13:02,882 --> 00:13:06,353
Say Lord, I am just here to serve You
173
00:13:06,353 --> 00:13:10,23
please show me, and He will show you as clear as day light
174
00:13:10,23 --> 00:13:11,691
He will show you His will
175
00:13:11,691 --> 00:13:14,894
Say Lord what do you want me to do today for Your Kingdom
176
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:17,997
and it will flash clearly into your mind
177
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:20,600
because it is written in your mind
178
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,236
But we got to PURIFY ourselves
179
00:13:23,236 --> 00:13:24,337
LIVE HOLY
180
00:13:24,337 --> 00:13:27,73
SUBMIT ourselves to JESUS
181
00:13:27,73 --> 00:13:29,743
Say Lord I come to you with a PURE HEART
182
00:13:29,743 --> 00:13:32,345
please speak to me, please show me your mind
183
00:13:32,345 --> 00:13:35,782
And then we will BEAR FRUIT and God will use us
184
00:13:35,782 --> 00:13:40,120
Not according to our own mind but according to the Mind of Christ
185
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,990
Because He has put it inside of us
186
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:45,458
We are not in darkness dear friends
187
00:13:45,458 --> 00:13:48,795
God has lit His Light in us
188
00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:51,164
He has put the Light of Christ inside of us
189
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:53,233
but we got to LISTEN
190
00:13:53,233 --> 00:13:56,536
we got to open our hearts to Jesus
191
00:13:56,536 --> 00:14:00,173
and PURIFY ourselves then we will hear clearly
192
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:02,942
and we will live every moment
193
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:05,245
under the GUIDANCE of the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD
194
00:14:05,979 --> 00:14:10,16
May Jesus bless you.
