The Abraham Covenant P2

Study of the Books of Romans. Romans 1:8 (NLT) Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in Him is being talked about all over the world.

John 4, paraphrase- “The hour has come for true worshipers to worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” Spirit and Truth is 100% a heart thing. It’s an act of faith, honoring God with our voice, declaring our gratitude, adoration and devotion.

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.

Hebrews 5:11-14 (NLT) There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. 12, You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. 13, For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. 14, Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. NKJV, to be able to recognize between sound and unsound doctrine.

At some point each of us needs to ask ourselves, are we willing to let Jesus interrupt your our habits, our routine, what we’ve grown comfortable with?

Psalm 37:3-5 (NKJV) “Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” Remember, Jesus told us, “My yoke is easy and My burden is light” Psalm 37 makes light and easy possible. And as a disciple, understanding His ways are different is a big part of our success. As a disciple change is unavoidable, the challenge with change is that it disrupts our routine, and our habits, deceiving us into becoming comfortable with our old problems instead of being uncomfortable embracing a new solution.

Remember, Jesus told us, “My yoke is easy and My burden is light” Psalm 37 makes light and easy possible. And as a disciple, understanding His ways are different is a big part of our success.

1 Corinthians 14:1 (NKJV) “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.”

1 Corinthians 14:1 (NKJV) “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.” This talk is all about making ourselves more available to the things of the Spirit? Exercising our faith, speaking the prophetic over our lives regardless of our situation. “Son of man, can these bones live?” Using God-inspired words to set the course of our lives.

Psalm 133:1-3 (NKJV) “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.” (Like Minded) Unified with one mind and purpose
