Emancipation of the old dad - Leave that fool!

Before we move on to the second principle, I think it’s good to take a moment and share what the Word of God says about the old man in relation to our new life in Christ. So it’s a few verses I wanted to share more than anything speaking about how we have left the past in the past and those of us who haven’t how we should leave the past in the past and move forward in Christ.

Romans 6:6 –

4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

“our old man was crucified with Him”, We have no reason nor right to bring back the old man into our lives, he was put to death with Christ. The sins, the troubles, the shame, the guilt, the hatred, the abuse whatever it may be, they all died with the old man. We need to understand that things of past have past and by stepping into Christ we are born again in the fullness of His resurrection.

We hold onto things in the past often because we don’t trust that they are dealt with, but listen to those words again “knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.”(rom 6:6), not held by those things of old but stepping into the freeness of Christ.

Let’s look at another verse -

Ephesians 2:14-16 -

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.

This is a bit more complicated but in essence saying that what was separating us from God and keeping us outside of having peace with God – Sin, was put to death in Christ, and through Christ now we have peace with God but more so that which held is back is destroyed and we are made new in Him.

There is nothing that can hold back in the newness Christ has for you, if Christ has given you a new life, you won’t experience a new death. His life is eternal life, therefore forget about the things of held, let God be judge of those things and deal with anyone who has hurt you. As a Child of God you must forgive those who have hurt you and move on because God has great things for you, why keep you mind on such matters?

Let’s look at another verse Ephesians 4:22-24 -

22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

“that you put off”, let us put away those things of old, those childish things, those old hates, those old enemies and walk in forgiveness, let us put off those former lusts and be “renewed” by the “spirit of your mind” that is Christ’ working in us, that we may set our minds on the things the new man was created for. That is us being born again, walk in that new birth, that we died with Christ and put off all those things of old, so being born in Christ put on all those things of new. We are the new wine that is placed in new wine skins. “that you put on the new man which was created according to God” not created by our own will by created in the will of God, for His good pleasure!(Eph 1:5) what a beautiful thing it is dependent on the will of God and He is “well please”!

“in true righteousness and holiness”
These some of the foundations of the new man, Righteousness and Holiness, these both come from God. God says “be Holy for I am Holy”(1 Peter 1:16) we could not be Holy if God was not first holy, He leads us into holiness and how can we be righteous? Only by the gift of God’s salvation in Christ. It is Christ’ righteousness that makes us righteous and our obedience that makes us holy and our obedience is empowered by God’s grace so we can fulfill it. It is all God working in us and us cooperating with Him.

The last verse, We spoke about putting away the old man, putting on the new man and briefly on cooperating with God’s grace.

Colossians 3:9-11

9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

There is this relationship between the old man and “his deeds” what the old man does, this is the most noticeable way we put away the old man, through what we do. If we learn to control our tongue by grace, speaking’s the right words not lying to one another nor being deceitful in our words, the rest of our being will fall in place as we trust in God’s Grace.

The new man, the glory that has been set before us as believers and born-again Children of God. “put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him”, Let us renew our minds in the knowledge of Christ who made us, let us set our minds and hearts on Him who cared enough about us, that loved us so dearly that He gave His life for us, that we may have life and opened a way for us through the Cross for God purposed that we would be born again by His power by His strength, that we may rest securely in the blessed place of His rest.

Do not despise God for opening this blessing but rather embrace Him for it because there is nothing you could of done for it but God did all that was necessary. Now the verse says “where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.” There is neither a slave no free man, black nor white man, Asian nor Hispanic man, English nor Scottish, There is none except Christ in all and all in Christ. Amongst you and your brothers and sister, there is no distinction except Christ! How beautiful, there is nothing that separates you from those who have truly been born again of God because “Christ is all and in all” He is the very substance of our being. How precious!

Beloved, I hope this helps you to look forward toward God and away from things old, forgive that which you need to and continue to embrace God’s Love. He has set before you Christ to be the substance of every single detail of your life, how can you not be of great value? Heading towards Great things!

May God truly Bless You!,
Chris.

4. God’s Promise of Land

Genesis 12:1 -

1 Now the LORD had said to Abram:

“Get out of your country,

From your family

And from your father’s house,

To a land that I will show you.

How amazing is this promise. Think of what is being requested of Abram ( Abraham ) to establish it –

“Get out of your country,

From your family

And from your father’s house,

God is asking Abram to leave everything he has known except God, Leave behind everything that he is tied to. It’s absolutely amazing, Faith is what enabled Abram to do that because He trusted in who God is. Often on our walks with Jesus Christ, we need to leave things behind, leave our home environments, loved ones, and more, and Trust in Who He Is. God is Faithful, I believe Abram understood this well.

There is a few layers to this promise.

Initially with have a Promise for land, God say’s that by leaving your country, family, and fathers house, that He will show Abram land, a new home. The next scripture in Genesis 12:2-3, brings more weight to the promise but if God was to stop here and not promise to Abram the further things which were –

2 I will make you a great nation;

I will bless you

And make your name great;

And you shall be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,

And I will curse him who curses you;

And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Would we follow God’s command without any reassurance that God is going to Bless us there, but following and being obedient to God’s command because we acknowledge who He is. Something i’ve struggled with many times on my journey with Christ.

We have so many promises in Jesus Christ, that as and when God instructs us in our lives, God does not always reveal to us what Blessing He has awaiting for us when we get to where He is showing us to go because we have all those promises in His son, Jesus Christ. So we can trust His word and trust that His wonderful Promises will follow us wherever we go. So as we look into this scripture keep in mind that, We have those and more in Jesus Christ.

Abram is leaving his country, his national heritage. The culture that he has known. For ourselves we often find our identity in those around us and how we fit in to those around us and the culture we live in. God does not want that for us, He wants us to seek our identity in Him. We see God instructing Abram to leave his culture, to leave the land he had known. Which unlike today, would have been allot larger request, because there was not the luxuries that we often rely on today. Abram may not of had a clue what lay in the world around him. But what we see later is that Abram trusts in God and that God is able and does. The Hebrew word literally means country, land or nationality.

We see in the next thing God commands him to leave more verification of this. “From Your Family”, This is probably the hardest one for most people, we often think that God would not ask or cause a situation that may be stressful on a family, but this is not true. Jesus Christ spoke about how the Gospel will cause division to take place, We see this often in when a child or in a relationship when one is Christian and the other is not, or when a child is Christian and the parents are not. Jesus Christ spoke about this in Luke 12:51-53 –

51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. 52 For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. 53 Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

Often it is read that Jesus Christ came to bring war, this is not so. To really understand this scripture I believe it’s important to look at the Hebrew meaning of the word Peace. It means to be “set at one again” and be in “oneness”. We know through knowing the gospel that we cannot be joined with the earth and with our Heavenly Father. By Jesus Christ we have oneness with are brothers and sisters in the faith, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and The Father. But to all else we are as strangers because we are no longer of the same kinship as them.

1 Peter 1:1 –

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,

So for God to take Abram, out of his home environment and away from his family is not a big surprise, because God had a plan in mind for him. It’s also important to note that it’s great to see, that God is Faithful. Throughout the entire Bible, God stays and remains the same. Often people say God is different in the old and new testament, This is simply not true. God is Truth and His Truth does not change with time.

Family in Hebrew means - lineage, native country; also offspring, family: - begotten, born, issue, kindred, native (-ity).

Builds a fuller picture of what God is instructing him and what he is leaving. The last command God gives to Abram, is to leave his “fathers house”, Literally meaning house of your family. So it’s very clear that God is instructing Abram to leave his family, and all his that is due to him by his family and that environment.

Why does God command Abram away from his family and home ?

I think this is an important question, but I think we find the question is more so-

Why does God want Abram ( or us ) to separate ourselves from the world we love ?

I believe through reading this, and various other examples in the Bible, the greatest of which would be the disciples, as they are instructed to “follow” Jesus Christ. They left everything in an instance. We are so often influenced by those around us, especially in regards to family and friends. We can often be held back from what God is calling us to and for because we are not willing to boldly seek Him and follow Him and forsake all else for His Name.

In Jesus Christ we have no attachment to this world, God was creating an environment for Abram where he would rely and seek Him alone. God did not break those relationships himself, but commanded Abram to. It’s a beautiful picture of the nature of God, He does not impose anything upon us, He wants us to be willing participants in trusting Him. There is no-one Greater we can trust in.

Mark 10:28 –

Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”

Jesus Christ replies to Him, something that is so in line with Genesis 12:1, and that is found in Mark 10:29-31.

29 So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[e] or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, 30 who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

What is God’s promise to Abram here ?, God will show him to a land.

“To a land that I will show you.”

God’s Promise that He will show him to a land. Show in Hebrew means to advise, guide. We find that God’s Promise is that He will guide him, to a new place, to a new land. It may not seem like the biggest of promises, but I believe there is something God has placed here for us to unpack. God had many promises awaiting Abram in this land, and many things prepared for him but the first step for Abram was to take a step for faith and trust in God and leave all that he had known.

If we look to John 14:1-6, I believe there is so much to be discovered of God’s nature here.

1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions;[a] if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.[b] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

I believe these two scripture parallel each other greatly, We are so Blessed because we know the way to Heaven is Jesus Christ, the Way to Salvation is Him. Abram knew that God was the only Way to His Salvation. He trusted Him to lead his steps and to lead him to a new land. Through revelation of Jesus Christ we have so much assurance in God through Him.

The promise of land, if the promise that God will lead him. It’s an amazingly powerful promise and it’s one I’ve often overlooked but unless we place ourselves in a position where we say and want God to lead us, then we will constantly be trying to walk to places that we don’t know the way to and finding ourselves stumbling, like one walking in the dark.

What God had promised for Abram in this land, was so much stronger than anything physical or relational, But God had a great promise of something Spiritual, During the journey that came about Abram leaned more and more on God and witnessed God do great things and God ultimately established great things through Abram mainly Jesus Christ.

It’s a conditional promise, that he must leave his family, house, land and follow God, this is all too familiar in the new testament to the followers of Christ.

Matthew 10:37 –

“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.”

It’s a beautiful promise we have access to in Jesus Christ. So let us be prepared to leave everything behind, not look towards our family, nor friends nor workplace, nor anything else but only God as our Guide. He is Faithful to lead us, if only we would leave our comforts and follow.

3. God’s Promise of Authority and Sign of Hope

Genesis 9:13 Reads


1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.


6 “ Whoever sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed;
For in the image of God
He made man.

7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply;
Bring forth abundantly in the earth
And multiply in it.”

8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: 9 “And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants[b] after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. 11 Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

This is a very extensive and beautiful promise. It begins with verse 1, which reads

“1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.”

This is important because everything that follows is in this context, God Blessed Noah and his son’s, so God’s Favour was towards them. So what follows in because of God’s favour towards them, It’s reassurance to the Noah and his sons. God commands Noah and His son’s to be “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth”, Which literally means to reproduce and fill the earth with the mankind. We see evidence of this command being fulfilled by man, as almost every region of the earth that is inhabitable is filled. It started under this Promise that God made with Noah. It is repeated in Genesis 9:7. It’s a beautiful command because God’s favour was towards them and He told them to reproduce to build up mankind to grow and expand as a people.

In the next verse, God grants man ( through this promise with Noah ) power of all inferior creatures, both animals of the land and animals of the sky. This is an important note because in the world there are teachings that all creation is as one and equal. This is not true, God gave Mankind dominion over the animals both of land and sky into our hands. This is also the Revival of a previous command of God which can be found in Genesis 1:28 –

28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

But there is a key difference here which we may not see if we’re not careful, that is before we were ruling by the establishment of Love and God’s Order, now we are ruling by Fear, because before we were not fallen into a state of corruption, we lived in a state of peace in the Garden of Eden, animals had no desire to eat us nor for us to eat them but that is no longer true, So we rule in fear because of sin’s influence on the world and the fall taking place. We still have the benefit of this promise. If it hadn’t been for this promise, animals may group up and rebel against man, especially considering if it hadn’t been for the authority over animals that God placed in our hands, we would constantly be in struggle with wild life. While we still suffer incidents with wildlife, animals have been restrained by God’s Command, It’s a beautiful promise because this applies not only to those who acknowledge God both those who do not. Again showing how much God’s heart is towards mankind, that even those who turn a blind eye to Him, He has blessed.


The next verse which is Genesis 9:3 which reads –

3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herb

This is an expansion on something God commanded in the Garden, that was in Genesis 1:29 which reads –

29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

Originally man was created to just eat food from the earth and not intended to eat the beasts of the earth, and the beasts of the earth were also intended to only eat vegetation and so all lived in harmony and peace. This is outstanding because it does make further sense of why God made a promise that the beasts would fear man, because now beasts of the earth also eat on meat. So the introduction of fear amongst the beasts towards man is a very gracious gift from God. Prior to this, it wasn’t necessary but due to the fall and now the nature of even animals changing due to mankind. God says “given” which confirms to us that He holds all things in His Divine Authority even in corruption.



With the Promises of God there is often a condition, now in this promise there is not a condition to the Promise, because God has given this Promise onto all man through Noah, but there is a command attached to it. That is found in Genesis 4:4 which reads –

4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

This is important text, especially in context to old testament law, Because the Blood was of great significance to sacrifices which were used as atonement for there sins, It could not be something that is to be viewed as cheap. The very “life” of man depended upon the blood of the sacrifices. Thus God commanded this to illustrate that anything given up in offering to the Lord cannot be viewed or treated as common. This is why the first fruits are important, because the first fruits of any crop or live stock are before stability has been established to that farm or live stock, so to sacrifice it is risky and uncommon. As we see with Cain and Abel, Abel gave the first fruits to The Lord God ( Genesis 4:4 )



Now in Genesis 9:5-6, We see we are beings under authority, Everything we do will be held accountable to us, this doesn't change when Jesus Christ fulfilled the law either ( Matthew 12:36 ). In the Old Testament, we are accountable to Him. We do not have authority to end our own lives or the lives of another. God says that we shall be accountable to Him, Not only for our lives but also if we were to end another’s life. Prior to the flood, the nation before lived very wickedly archaeologist’s who researched into this time, have found there to be an exceedingly high amount of murders and violent crimes.



Verse 9-11, God establishes His covenant with Noah and his descendants which carries on to this day. I absolutely love this

“And as for Me, Behold, I establish my covenant with you…”

“Behold” literally is a Call to Attention, LOOK!, Observe!. God is saying there is something of importance that Noah is about to witness and must be alert to. What was important is the words that follow. “I establish my covenant with you…” An ever lasting promise from God was poured onto Noah, his family and all his descendants. Our God is so gracious in His actions, He Blesses so many through one person. It’s outstanding what God does for the loved ones of a person who is obedient and has a desire towards God. To this day, we witness this promise; Everyday is a testimony to God’s work through this Covenant. This is a Covenant God made with You.

Behold! -

What are your desires today ? Desire this one thing, to be near and pleasing to God. From that everything else will stem. ( read Psalm 27 )


God says this not for the benefit of His Promise, but to the Benefit of Noah, that Noah may have confidence in the Word God has spoken, that he may know that God spoke a truth, and to the extent of which that truth operates.

( Scientific Speculation ) - It’s believed by many scientists and evident to them that during this time there was a canopy over the earth of water, which would of drastically effected the weather and such. It’s evidence that this canopy is what God brought to earth to bring about the great flood. So imagine Noah, literally witnessed the world change drastically and all by God’s Word and Command.

In verse 11 – God speaks of the promise not to flood the earth again nor harm all the animals of the earth again. In the midst of the world we live in with constant warning of Global warming, we as Bible believing Christians. Holding to God’s Word as Truth, We know that certain things will not pass on the earth due to God’s word as a protection, we witness locational floods and small floods, God isn’t saying that floods won’t befall the earth but He is saying that, the entire earth shall not fall to a global flood as it once did before.



“12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.”

I think the important thing we take notice here of is, why God gives us signs ?

I believe this can be found in our nature, Signs are given to us for our reassurance and to help us believe, They are gift’s from God to help reaffirm our Faith and reminders of God’s Presence. God uses them because the nature of God’s Love is so intense and abstract to our human culture and society, it’s a hard for us to process. God provides these signs to give us security. This is a perfect example of God uses a sign as a point of reassurance of His promise, It’s for our sake, that the Rainbow has become a symbol of God’s Covenant it’s a gift from God to remind us. Jesus Christ said in John 4:48 -

“Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”

I saw a rainbow 2 days ago, and was reminded of Jesus Christ and how His Love allowed us to have a relationship with Him from earth to on High.

We being humans are more affected by our senses than anything else, we can easily be deceived by our senses, that’s why it’s important for us to have a good grounding in God’s word, In His word we find Truth, that isn’t subject to our natural bodies. God has provided us this truth, so that we may be guarded against deception. God also provides signs that testify of His Majesty and in this case His Merciful Love that was Poured upon the earth.

A Rainbow has significance both to non-believers and believers, to non-believers people still see it as a symbol of Hope ( though what Hope they do not know ), We believers of Jesus Christ, Know that this is a Symbol of God’s Mercy and Love, It’s a Symbol of Hope in God’s Order in the world, It’s a Symbol that God is God.



This promise has great significance, As we went through verse by verse, the meaning of what God is saying and what God is giving to us. He commanded into us and blessed us, with authority and protection by His Promise. From that moment onwards there was a New Govern for mankind and new rules amongst the land.


Isaiah 54:9-10 says –

9 “ For this is like the waters of Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

I think Isaiah 54:9-10 illustrates, God’s heart towards His Covenants and more so His Love towards myself and You.

God's FIrst Promise

1. Promise of Enmity and Triumph

Genesis 3:15 -

15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

This is the very first promise of God, and what an amazing Promise it is. It is a foretelling of the Messiah to come, From the Fall of Man, God at the very beginning had a plan for our Redemption and that was Jesus Christ. This at first is quite a confusing scripture, because of the terms used. Enmity can be exchanged for hatred or hostility. God is saying He shall put a hatred between the seed of the serpent and the woman. It is a very deep and beautiful scripture to unpack. What we have here straight after man has rebelled against God, God is unpacking things to come in the future and speaking of the Path to Salvation, That is Christ Jesus.

So it’s said first, there is a hatred between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman, Now the seed of the serpent is the seed of rebellion, throughout the entire Bible, there are those who are rebellious to God. They are the “seed” or “children” of the serpent, or the enemy or satan. So the “Seed” of the Woman, who will ultimately be victorious over the serpents seed, is Jesus Christ, It is also a hint as to the Birth of Jesus Christ, as God said “her Seed” and made no mention of man’s involvement in reference to this Child.
So from the very beginning we have a Division. This is the division between, what is right with God and what is wrong before God. The seed of the enemy and the seed of the Messiah, It is said as seed and not in the pural sense, meaning singular paths. Which does give us insight as to how God views things to a certain extent, because as God has said -

James 2:8-13 says –

8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,”you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.”Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

There is only one who was able to walk Righteously and so Triumph over the enemy that being Jesus Christ. All else fell short of God’s Standard and Sinned. The Seed God speaks of, is the same Seed God speaks of to Abraham and that is Jesus Christ and His Church.

“He shall bruise your head”

I believe is speaking to a fatal blow, The enemy tried from the Birth of Christ to try to kill Him, but was unable to as Jesus Christ reigns now and forever more in Glory being above all things.
A good scripture that confirms this –

Revelation 11:15 -

"The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever"

“and you shall bruise His heel”

I believe this is referring to some of the Family of God falling away, as sadly happens in the church to do, as the enemy is constantly trying to bring the Children of God to stray from His Path.

So we have a Promise both about the Jesus Christ’s Coming and about the Falling away, We also have indications as to the nature God Willed between the two, Hatred. We should have a Hatred for Sin.

Jesus Christ commanded us to be “Perfect” ( Matthew 5:48 ) though we cannot achieve this in ourselves ( Romans 3:23 ), through Him we are made as perfect ( Colossians 1:28 ), that we in Him no longer fall short of Righteousness because we walk in His Righteousness ( Colossians 1:22 ) as the Seed and Family of God ( John 1:12 ).

CHECKY OUT THE SIDE >>>>

There is another page!! haha, Just learn't I am able to do that, so check it out, i'm going to be posting the Promises of God, from Genesis to Revelations, it's going to be very slowly errupting because unpacking God's Promises, The scripture that inspired me to do so is here -


20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

The Him being mentioned is Jesus Christ, so believers in Jesus Christ have access to ALL The Promises of God. It's beautiful to think that in Him we have so much, and as we look through the Promises I pray it encourages you in your relationship with Him and walking out for Him.

May God Truly Bless You,
Chris
