admin – Walking with God https://bible.nstonedesigns.com How to know God and walk with Him Wed, 11 Nov 2020 17:40:18 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 194908115 The Blood Covenant https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/2020/09/24/post-number-3/ https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/2020/09/24/post-number-3/#respond Thu, 24 Sep 2020 19:38:14 +0000 https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/?p=12 God made a blood covenant with all mankind; to make it possible for men to have a relationship with God and be free from sin. The blood covenant is the most powerful contract ever. It is a “blood contract” that can never be broken. God bound himself to us through this blood covenant. That means He must fulfill all the provisions of the contract which He spelled out in the Bible. Forgiveness of our sins, salvation, healing, protection, prosperity, peace, joy and more. And what does he require of us? Faith, trust, our love. This is a very one-sided contract with all the amazing benefits going to us. What a generous God we serve.

God subjected himself through Jesus to the most brutal treatment in horrific death by crucifixion, to pay for our sins and wrongdoing. Jesus basically said “take me instead of them”, I will pay the price for their sin. Also, it was a price we do not have the ability to pay. Impossible to pay! All he asks is we believe in what he did for us and repent of our sins. That is the measure of faith he has given to all men, to believe in Him. Then faith grows through the word of God. Faith is our positive response to what the Lord has already done for us. For anyone to say “I don’t believe in Jesus” is to be totally ignorant of the facts and to reject God’s personal sacrifice of his own blood on our behalf. That person has justly condemned themselves to eternal torment. God did everything he could to keep us out of Hell. He doesn’t want anybody to go there; but if we reject his plan for salvation then who is the blame?

How foolish does this sound? Someone comes to you and offers to give you everlasting life in a paradise you can’t even imagine and all you have to do is say “Yes I except it, I’ll take it. I BELIEVE”!  But you say “I don’t know, I’m not sure I like that plan, I don’t know if I really want to believe”. REALLY?!!!

It’s hard to believe that if anybody knew the facts that they could choose to reject God’s offer of eternal paradise and condemn themselves to eternal Hell. Many are very mistaken in thinking that because they don’t believe something that it has no bearing on them. The problem is when it comes to what God says – no one is exempt, whether you believe it or not it totally affects you.

To really understand the essence and nature of a blood covenant I recommend reading the booklet by E. W. Kenyon, The Blood Covenant. Very powerful, and enlightening.

What’s the problem? Sin. https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/2020/09/24/post-number-2/ https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/2020/09/24/post-number-2/#respond Thu, 24 Sep 2020 19:38:03 +0000 https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/?p=10 God creates the heavens and the earth; and all that is in it. (Genesis: 1).

God creates Man and woman. Man allows sin to enter the world by disobeying God. God is perfect, no sin can be in his presence.

God makes a covenant with man to make payment for our sins (Very generous).

God comes to earth as a man, Jesus Christ, and spills his own blood, perfect sinless blood, to make payment for our sins (Way more generous).

He subjected himself to the most veil and horrific abuse and death to TAKE OUR PLACE for the payment of sin; our sin, not his (Unbelievable!).

SIN is the problem! Our sin, All of us. Sin Came into the world, and we are all subject to it. No one escapes. The Bible says “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.” Every person born on the earth REQUIRES forgiveness of our sins. The Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus is the blood covenant which God made with all mankind, to redeem us back to his own possession. God’s sacrifice on our behalf is complete, timeless, and absolutely amazing.

So, YOU CHOOSE not to believe;  you reject God’s gracious loving sacrifice for your sins, and reject His offer of Everlasting life in Paradise. YOU CHOOSE to condemn yourself to eternity in hell.
God sends no one to hell! He did everything he could to keep us out of there. But when he created us he gave us the power of choice. Choose wisely!

SIN IS THE PROBLEM. JESUS IS THE ANSWER.

The Word; God’s Word https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/2020/09/24/post-number-1/ https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/2020/09/24/post-number-1/#respond Thu, 24 Sep 2020 19:35:46 +0000 https://bible.nstonedesigns.com/?p=6 God’s word, (the holy Bible) is the way he has chosen to release his power and authority into the earth; through us his people; by the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 55:11). My word will not return to me empty without accomplishing what I desire and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

God’s word (Bible scriptures) are vessels containing unlimited power having no boundaries or limitations of time in distance. When spoken by a Christian believer, with faith, the power is released to accomplish what it says and what God intended. There are no limitations, only our ability to trust and believe. All things are possible to those who believe. “I am the Lord the God of all flesh, and nothing is too difficult for me.” We are the pinnacle of God’s creation; we are created in his image and likeness. We are the only creation of His with the power and ability of speech, to speak as He does, think about this. It can and should change your life.

We dilute and pollute the power of speech with frivolous and profane words. We also talk too much. Choose your words wisely. Speak kindly, gently, but with power and authority. The Lord put His creative power into His words as vessels. They carry his power. Likewise our words have the capacity for creative power, both for good and for bad. The Bible describes words as seeds, you sow them into the spirit and the soil of a persons heart and they will produce after their own kind. So your words can be viewed as containers holding and delivering power, so speak the word of God purposefully, with faith and power. You will see it produce wonderful things in your life and others.

Proverbs 12:14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words, and the deeds of a man’s hands will return to him.

Proverbs 13:3 The one who guards his mouth preserves his life.

Proverbs 21:23  He who guards his mouth and his tongue guards his soul from troubles.

Choose your words wisely and don’t waste them. Believe the word ,Walk in the word, live the word.
