Summary:
Today, people don't want to have someone quote scripture and verse to them. They are looking for something alive and real. There must be a people who become the scriptures, so that when they speak it is Christ coming out of what they say. Now is the time for those living epistles read and known of all men to emerge.
Show Notes:
When we speak we must be the scripture, not just quote it.
Those believers in new testament times were writing the new testament in how they walked with God in their time.
Can we create a new age, and new testament?
We are sons of God and He has set us free to walk as Christ waked with the Father.
This walk with Him must always be exciting and new.
We must break out of the box of our limitations and fears.
We started out as babes and had th9se over us who guided us. But then we matured and grew out of the childish state and flowing together with the brethren.
We must read and eat the scriptures until we become those scriptures.
Quotes:
I am so convinced that God wants us to live in the scripture realm, in our heart, in the spirit.
This is what happened to the first New Testament church. They didn't have a New Testament, they were the New Testament.
References:
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all people, revealing yourselves, that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
are you saying of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
For you are all sons and daughters of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
Takeaway:
People who have eaten the scriptures and become them is the answer for the cry in the hearts of men today. No more empty religion and a bible that people don't understand. Living epistles are in the earth again speaking a Word that is living and powerful sharper than any two-edged sword able to reveal Christ to hungry hearts.
