“Faith Worketh By Love”

Covenant is birthed out of love and consist of two or more people.
Just for observation sake: 

Matt:26,26-28 this was a shadow of the covenant he would cut when he took his blood to heaven to be excepted by the Father. The blood covenant cut between God and God.

Church folks love to say how much they love God, but if you ask them what about your neighbor it's a different story, in Tx. they say that dog won't hunt. In the bible Jesus said

(Mk: 12, 29-31)

• V-29 the first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel the Lord our God is one Lord.
• V-30 Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all the heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
• V-31 and the second is like namely this, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these

This is nothing new; Jesus was confirming what was spoken to Israel after they came out of Egypt. Ex: 20, 16-17

Rom: 13, 8-9 
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

While talking about the subject of love, some people I speak with find it hard to forgive and forget. For some there has been great devastation caused by people they know, family members, friends and for the moment refused to forgive them. This is to their own hurt, the scripture says:

Ps:66-19 If I regard inequity in my heart God will not hear me. You have to make a decision to release the past and let God work on you with his word, it's a process that takes time, we have to make it happen.

Is: 59, 1-2 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: ² But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

When we come into covenant with God, all of our past sins have been washed away by the blood of Jesus, (Rom:3-25  Rev1-5)

^Rom:6-6 
 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Now we are free to live unto God with a clear consciousness, a clean heart, and a new mind ready to deal with the issues that had us in bondage.

Now we can approach life and the issues we face with the wisdom, God’s word teaches us with his peace without stress, fear anxiety depression and the things that keep us from moving forward.

You do have the ability to forgive and forget, by exercising faith in the word of God.

Rom: 1, 16-17 the just shall live by faith: Faith is the way believers get things done.

Heb: 11, 1-3 …. This is the same faith you and I have; God gave every man the measure of faith. (Rom: 12-3)

Rom: 10, 6-8,17 the word of faith which we preach/ truth is the highest realm of reality. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life

Jn: 15-5… Jesus said I am the vine and ye are the branches, he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without me ye can do nothing.

Unbelief must be driven out of our heart and mines before we can go forth in victory.  When Adam fell from God’s grace in the garden he lost the mind he was created with and received from Satan a carnal mind that all men are born with.

Matt: 18, 18-19/ whatsoever you bind on earth…… God gave the earth to man not the devil.  Our faith secures our authority in the earth to reign over our enemy as we declare faith filled words that are unstoppable unless we doubt.

Matt: 14, 15-17 they had to use faith

2Pet:1-12….Heb:11-40 better promises

Gen: 13-14 all the land you see northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward I give to you and your seed forever. He could only see so much with his natural eyes, God was talking spiritual.

Once you get a revelation of faith it will began to flow like a river.  Revelation is not what you see with these natural eyes, but what you see through the word of faith.

(Matt.: 25-12) In the parable of the ten virgins all have confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior; five are convinced that confession is enough. The other five thought it necessary to do what it takes to enter into the kingdom.

When the bridegroom came, those that were ready went with him to the marriage and those that were not God's reply was I never knew you.

 Ex.2Kings:6, 15-17 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

16And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

17And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

When you walk by faith angels harken to the voice of the word. We are God’s voice in the earth.

 Ps: 103-20/ angels harkening to the voice of the word

#14-8-9  If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

9Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

God called Gideon: Judges: 6, 11-24/ he made excesses low self-esteem.

When you come to the Lord, you have benefits:  

Ps, 103:1-5 (A Psalm of David.) Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

While we are in the flesh there will be a fight against sin and righteousness, your flesh against the word. Once you get saved from your past sins (Rom: 3-25) If you sin and you will, scripture says we have an advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the Righteous. (1Jn:1-9).  If you don’t confess your sins and die in them, you are a candidate for the lake of fire. (Ez: 18, 26-28)

Any believer that will not receive the devils fear has the victory already, why: because (Phil: 4-19)/ my God shall supply all my needs, (2Corth:10-4) I have the greater weapons that are not carnal (1Jn:4-4) Greater is He in me (2Corth:2-14) Thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus
