I AM A MINISTER OF THE NEW COVENANT!

TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED AND I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD. BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD'S WORDS WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD'S WORDS SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD'S SPIRIT SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD'S VOICE SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK.

I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.

I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN, AND I WORSHIP GOD WITH SPIRITUAL WORDS.

ADVENT IS HERE THE FOUR WEEKS BEFORE JESUS CHRIST BIRTH. WHEN JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN GOD SET IN MOTION A PLAN TO RECONCIL ALL MAN KIND TO HIMSELF THROUGH CHRIST. TODAY I AM RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST. I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH THE AUTHORITY GOD GRANTED CHRIST. I AM A MINISTER OF A NEW COVENANT A COVENANT THAT GOD WROTE ON THE TABLET OF MY HEART. I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. BECAUSE I BELIEVE THESE WORDS ARE TRUE.

MINISTERS OF THE NEW COVENANT

BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHO ALWAYS LEADS ME IN TRIUMPHAL PROCESSIONS IN CHRIST AND THROUGH ME SPREADS EVERYWHERE THE FRAGRANCE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST. FOR I AM TO GOD THE AROMA OF CHRIST AMONG THOSE WHO ARE BEING SAVED AND THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING. TO THE ONE I AM THE SMELL OF DEATH; TO THE OTHER, THE FRAGRANCE OF LIFE. AND WHO IS EQUAL TO SUCH A TASK? UNLIKE SO MANY, I DO NOT PEDDLE THE WORD OF GOD FOR PROFIT. ON THE CONTRARY, IN CHRIST, I SPEAK BEFORE GOD WITH SINCERITY, LIKE A MAN SENT FROM GOD.

ARE WE BEGINNING TO COMMEND OURSELVES AGAIN? OR DO WE NEED, LIKE SOME PEOPLE, LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION TO YOU OR FROM YOU? YOU YOURSELVES ARE OUR LETTER, WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS, KNOWN AND READ BY EVERYBODY. YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE A LETTER FROM CHRIST, THE RESULT OF OUR MINISTRY, WRITTEN NOT WITH INK BUT WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD, NOT ON TABLETS OF STONE BUT ON TABLETS OF HUMAN HEARTS.

SUCH CONFIDENCE AS THIS IS OURS THROUGH CHRIST BEFORE GOD. NOT THAT WE ARE COMPETENT IN OURSELVES TO CLAIM ANYTHING FOR OURSELVES, BUT OUR COMPETENCE COMES FROM GOD. GOD HAS MADE US COMPETENT AS MINISTERS OF A NEW COVENANT - NOT OF THE LETTER BUT OF THE SPIRIT; FOR THE LETTER KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE.

THE GLORY OF THE NEW COVENANT

NOW IF THE MINISTRY THAT BROUGHT DEATH, WHICH WAS ENGRAVED IN LETTERS ON STONE, CAME WITH GLORY, SO THAT THE ISRAELITES COULD NOT LOOK STEADILY AT THE FACE OF MOSES BECAUSE OF ITS GLORY, FADING THOUGH IT WAS, WILL NOT THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT BE EVEN MORE GLORIOUS? IF THE MINISTRY THAT CONDEMNS MEN IS GLORIOUS, HOW MUCH MORE GLORIOUS IS THE MINISTRY THAT BRINGS RIGHTEOUSNESS! FOR WHAT WAS GLORIOUS HAS NO GLORY NOW IN COMPARISON WITH THE SURPASSING GLORY. AND IF WHAT WAS FADING AWAY CAME WITH GLORY, HOW MUCH GREATER IS THE GLORY OF THAT WHICH LAST!

THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE SUCH A HOPE, WE ARE VERY BOLD. WE ARE NOT LIKE MOSES, WHO WOULD PUT A VEIL OVER HIS FACE TO KEEP THE ISRAELITES FROM GAZING AT IT WHILE THE RADIANCE WAS FADING AWAY. BUT THEIR MINDS WERE MADE DULL, FOR TO THIS DAY THE SAME VEIL REMAINS WHEN THE OLD COVENANT IS READ. IT HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED, BECAUSE ONLY IN CHRIST IS IT TAKEN AWAY. EVEN TO THIS DAY WHEN MOSES IS READ, A VEIL COVERS THEIR HEARTS.

BUT WHENEVER ANYONE TURNS TO THE LORD, THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY. NOW THE LORD IS THE SPIRIT, AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM. AND WE, WHO WITH UNVEILED FACES ALL REFLECT THE LORD'S GLORY, ARE BEING TRANSFORMED INTO CHRIST'S LIKENESS WITH EVER - INCREASING GLORY WHICH COMES FROM THE LORD, WHO IS THE SPIRIT.
(2 Cor.2:14-3:18)

GOD IS THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER OF THE UNIVERSE AND I THANK GOD FOR BEING MY GOD FOR WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE PROVIDES FOR ME!

"GOD YOU ARE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO ME IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!" AMEN.

MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)

"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
