The New Way of the Spirit-Pt 6
Numbers 11:26-29 Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the Tent of Meeting. Yet the Spirit also rested upon them, and they prophesied in the camp. A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!” Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses’ aide since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!” Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put His Spirit on all of them!”
Jeremiah 31:31 & 33 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: …this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people.
We Live In a Relationship Not a Religion
Colossians 2:6-7 …just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
All Human Based Spiritualism Is Useless!
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
Jesus Repeatedly Warned Us
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 24:4-5 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My Name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
24:11 …many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
24:24 …false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible.
The Apostles Warned Us
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Peter 2:1 …there were false prophets among the people, (ancient Israel) even as there shall be false teachers among you, (the Christian Church) who secretly shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
We Are Created & Only God is God
Colossians 2:9 For in Christ all the fullness of Deity lives in bodily form and you have been given fullness in Christ, Who is the Head over every power and authority.
Eating Forbidden Fruit Won’t Glorify Us Eating Christs Passover Does!
Genesis 3:4-5 “You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
The New Covenant Is Implemented AT THE CROSS
Colossians 2:11-15 In Him you were circumcised, putting off the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men; but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; He took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
