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 His likeness with ever-increasing flory,
which comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.
(II. Corinthians 3.15-18).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
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 tha 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 His likeness with ever
increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.
(II.Corinthians
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.
He 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.
(II. Corinthians 3.4-6).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
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 lasts!
(II. Corinthians 3.7-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Now there was a certain man among the Pharisees
named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews,
Who came to Jesus at night and said to Him,
Rabbi, we know and are certain that You have
come from God; for no one can do these signs
that You do unless God is with him.
Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly
I tell you, that unless a person is born again, he cannot
ever see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when
he is old? Can he enter his mother’s womb again and
be born?
Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you,
unless a man is born of the water and the Spirit, he cannot
enter the kingdom of God.
What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the
Spirit is spirit.
(John 3.1-6).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Now on the final and most important day of the Feast,
Jesus stood, and He cried in a loud voice, If any man is
thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!
He who believes in Me as the Scripture has said, From his
innermost being shall flow springs and rivers of living water.
But He was speaking of the Spirit, Whom those who believed
in Him were afterward to receive. For the Holy Spirit had not
yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(John 7.37-39).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters;
and he who has no money, come, buy and eat!
Yes, come , buy spiritual wine and milk without money and
without price.
(Isaiah 55.1).
Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water shall be
thirsty again.
But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never,
no never be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give
him shall become a spring of water welling up within him
unto eternal life.
(John 4.13 & 14).
Now on the final and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood,
and He cried in a loud voice, If any man is thisty, let Him come to
Me and drink!
He who believes in Meas the Scripture has said, From his innermost
being shall flow springs and rivers of living water.
But He was speaking of the Spirit, Whom those who believed in Him
were afterward to receive. For the Holy Spirit had not yet been given,
because Jesus was not yet glorified.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Do not cease to give thank for you,
making mention of you in my prayers:

the Father of glory, may give to you
the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of Him,
( Ephesians 1. 15-17)
POINTS OF PRAISE AND MEDITATION
1) The great significance and value of
your faith in Jesus Christ and love for
fellow saints.
2) This faith and love are God’s gift.
3) The importance of praying and
thanking for fellow saints.

MADE NEW IN THE SPIRIT
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.
