June 29, 2014

John 19:28-3028 After this, Jesus, knowing that

all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be

fulfilled, said, "I thirst!" 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting

there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop,

and put it to His mouth.

30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up

His spirit.

 1. God's Covenant With Noah 

Genesis 6:9-109 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in

his generations. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three

sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 7:1"Then the LORD said to Noah,

"Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have

seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation."

Genesis 8:1"Then God remembered Noah, and

every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass

over the earth, and the waters subsided."

 

Genesis 9:1"So God blessed Noah and his

sons, and said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth."

Genesis 9:8-98 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: 9 "And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your

descendants after you... 

 2. God's Covenant With Abraham

Genesis 17:1-81 When Abram was ninety-nine

years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am

Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and

you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 "As

for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but

your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many

nations.  

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7 And I will establish My

covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their

generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and

your descendants after you.

8 Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting

possession; and I will be their God."

 3. God' Covenant with Moses

Exodus 24:4-84 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve

pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 Then he sent young men of the children of

Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of

oxen to the LORD.

6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7

Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, "All

that the LORD has said we will do, and be obedient.”

8 And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all

these words."  

 4. God's Covenant With David

2 Samuel 7:12-1712 "When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you,

who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of

his kingdom forever.

14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I

will chasten him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men. 15 But My mercy

shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from

before you.

16 And your house and your kingdom shall be established

forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever." ' " 17 According to all these words and

according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

5. God's Covenant With Us "The Church"

Matthew 26:26-3026 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and

said, "Take, eat; this is My body." 27 Then He took the cup, and

gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.

28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom." 30

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of

Olives.  

6. We Were Chosen Before The Foundation Of The World!

Eternal Salvation, Permanent Adoption, Divine Grace, Divine

Healing, Divine Provision, Divine Favor, Divine Mercy, Divine Appointments, Divine

Counseling, Divine Correction, Divine Connections and a

Personal Relationship with our Creator The Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Ephesians 1:3-143 Blessed be the God and Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual

blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in

Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to

Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the

Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to

the riches of His grace

8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and

prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will,

according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10

that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might

gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him.

 

11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should

be to the praise of His glory.

13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the

gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were

sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee

of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased

possession, to the praise of His glory.

Anger, Unfaithfulness, Divorce, Lying and stealing?

 

 Trust God!

 

Proverbs 3:5-65 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall

direct your paths.

1 Peter 2:9-109 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness

into His marvelous light;

10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God,

who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

  

1 Corinthians 1:26-316 For you see your calling,

brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many

mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to

shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the

world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

28 and the base things of the world and the things which are

despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His

presence.

30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption-- 31

that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."

James 2:55 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has

God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs

of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

Revelations 17:9-159 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also

seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come.

And when he comes, he must continue a short time.

11 And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and

is of the seven, and is going to perdition. 12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but

they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.

13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and

authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for

He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful."
