We are all familiar with Palm 103! Look at verses 1-5:
Psalm 103
[A Psalm] of David.
1 BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits-- 3 Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; 5 Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]!
Do you SEE all of the wonderful benefits? Forgiveness, health and healing, redemption, deliverance, provision, restoration, and strength! Did you notice the sub-title of this Psalm? it says "[A Psalm] of David." Do you realize that these tremendous promises of God's benefits were given under the Old Covenant? NOW, look at Hebrews 8:6 from both the KJV and the Amplified Bible:
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
KJV
6 But as it now is, He [Christ] has acquired a [priestly] ministry which is as much superior and more excellent [than the old] as the covenant (the agreement) of which He is the Mediator (the Arbiter, Agent) is superior and more excellent, [because] it is enacted and rests upon more important (sublimer, higher, and nobler) promises.
AMP
A BETTER Covenant, based on BETTER promises than they had! These wonderful benefits that we see in Psalm 103 are only the beginning of the blessings we have in OUR Covenant! Do your realize that while what you don't know might not hurt you, it cannot help you? Study what belongs to you as a born again child of the Living God and then proceed to walk in it! AMEN! I would recommend beginning with Kenneth E. Hagin's "In Him" mini book! Circle or highlight for yourself every Scripture that mentions "in Him", "in Christ", "in Whom", etc. and then BELIEVE that this is who YOU are meant to be! GLORY TO GOD! Here, to encourage you in this, is Hillsong Live with "Beneath The Water (I Will Rise)":
Shalom in Him!
