The old has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new

has come!

renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

the good news to all creation.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,

but whoever does not believe remains condemned.

And these signs will accompany those who believe:

In my name they will drive out demons;

they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes

with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison,

it will not hurt them at all;

they will place their hands on sick people, and they will

get well.”

After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was

taken up into the heaven and He sat at the right hand

of God. Then the disciples went out and preached

everywhere, and the Lord worked with

them and confirmed His word by the signs that

accompanied it.

(Mark 16.15-20).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the

message you have heard. Yet I am writing to you a new command; its

truth is seen in Him and you, because the darkness is passing and the

true light is already shining.

Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in

darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is

nothing in him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is

in the darkness and walks around in the darkness, he does not know where

he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.

(I.John 1.7&11).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

resurrection from the dead, aim at the rich eternal treasures above,

where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

And set your minds and keep them set on the higher things above,

not on the earthly things.

For as far as this world is concerned, you have died and your new

real life is hidden with Christ in God.

(Colossians 3.1-3).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

things: anger,rage,bad feelings toward others, curses and slander.

and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances from your lips!

Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self

with its evil practices,

And have clothed yourselves with the new (spiritual self), which is

ever in the process of being renewed into fuller and more perfect

knowledge, after the image of Him Who created it.

(Colossians 3.8-10).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

of unity and harmony. He has made

us both Jew and Gentile one body,

and has broken down, destroyed, abolished

the hostile dividing wall between us.

By abolishing in His own crucified flesh

the enmity caused by the Law with its decrees

and ordinances (which he annuled), that He

from the two might create in himself one

new human (one new quality of humanity out

of the two), so making peace.

(Ephesians 2.14 and 15).

POINTS FOR PRAISE AND MEDITATION

1) Jesus Christ is our peace.

He is the way, the truth and the life.

He is our wisdom. He is the resurrection

and the life. He is also our peace.

2) The wall of separation that existed

under the old covenant no longer

exists under the new covenant.

The barrier is no longer there.

Belief in Jesus Christ allows entering into

the covenant made possible by His

blood. This covenant is made with better,

much greater and everlasting promises.

HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD JESUS!

GLORY TO THE

 with its carnal thoughts and

purposes is hostile to God,

for it does not submit itself

to God’s Law, indeed it cannot.

So then those who are living

the life of the flesh, catering

to the appetites and impulses

of their carnal nature cannot

please or satisfy God, or be

acceptable to Him.

But you are not living in the

life of the flesh, you are living

the life of the Spirit, if the Holy Spirit

of God really dwells within you and

directs you.

( Romans 8.7-8a).

INSPIRATION FOR MEDITATION

Meditate on the following:

1) The thought pattern prior to

spiritual rebirth.

2) The new thought pattern after

being filled with God’s Holy Spirit.

3) The contrast between those two

thought patterns.

For when we were in the flesh,

the sinful passions which were

awakened by the Law were at

work in our members bore

fruit to death.

But now we have been discharged

from the Law, having died to

what we were held by,

so that we should serve in the

newness of the Spirit

and not in the oldness

of the letter.

( Romans 7.5 and 6).

Consider these:

1) Before being reborn of the Spirit,

obeying the letter of the Law was

the order of the day.

2) After your Spiritual rebirth you

can live in new freedom to obey

 our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

by yielding to the promptings

of the Holy Spirit.

3) Daily thanks and praises to God

increase because of our new life.

4) All of this is made possible because

our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

granted us His resurrection life

with resurrection power.
