Shalom,

The Bow In The Cloud
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth. — Genesis 9:13
It is the will of God that human beings should get into moral relationship with Him, and His covenants are for this purpose. “Why does not God save me?” He has saved me, but I have not entered into relationship with Him. “Why does not God do this and that?” He has done it, the point is — Will I step into covenant relationship? All the great blessings of God are finished and complete, but they are not mine until I enter into relationship with Him on the basis of His covenant.
Waiting for God is incarnate unbelief, it means that I have no faith in Him; I wait for Him to do something in me that I may trust in that. God will not do it, because that is not the basis of the God-and-man relationship. Man has to go out of himself in his covenant with God as God goes out of Himself in His covenant with man. It is a question of faith in God — the rarest thing; we have faith only in our feelings. I do not believe God unless He will give me something in my hand whereby I may know I have it, then I say — “Now I believe.” There is no faith there. “Look unto Me, and be ye saved.”
When I have really transacted business with God on His covenant and have let go entirely, there is no sense of merit, no human ingredient in it at all, but a complete overwhelming sense of being brought into union with God, and the whole thing is transfigured with peace and joy.
This is SO good! When we REALLY realize and understand that God has already done HIS PART, then we are in position to walk in our new and better Covenant that was sealed in the BLOOD of JESUS! It is OURS for the RECEIVING! Have YOU received JESUS as Lord and Saviour yet? If so, then you already have beenprovided with everything that you will ever need to succeed in this life and to walk in freedom, protection, provision and safety! Dig into the WORD of GOD and find out what all is IN your CEVENANT! If you have never received JESUS as Lord and Saviour, then what in the world are you waiting for? Pray this prayer from your believing heart:
Almighty God, I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ came to this earth, died on the cross for me, was raised from the dead, and is now seated at Your right hand. I accept and receive Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and I invite Him to come into my heart and become Lord over my life. I thank You now Father, for welcoming me into Your family. You are my Father. I am Your child. Jesus is my Lord! Amen.
NOW you are a child of GOD and a joint heir with JESUS! All that YOU have belongs to GOD and all that HE has belongs to you! Dig into the Word of God and rejoice every day for the wonderful LIFE that HE has given to you! Here is Hillsong with "All This Future":
Shalom in Him!
