We need to realize that when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, God s Law was written on our hearts. The prophets of the Old Testament looked to our day with wonder: Jeremiah 31:30‐33 (KJV) 30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. 31 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: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33 But 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. How much is Jeremiah 31:30‐33 connected to New Testament believers? Verse 31 is where we get the concept of the New Covenant or New Testament. These verses are the prophetic foretelling of the New Birth that Messiah would one day come to give. Part of that New Covenant was that God s Law (Torah or instruction) would be written on our hearts ‐ in other words, encoded into our spiritual DNA are God s core values expressed in the Torah. This is why the Apostle Paul instructs us to walk in what the Holy Spirit encoded into our spirits at the New Birth: Galatians 5:16‐17 (KJV) 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. When we live by the flesh (i.e. ways of this world), we are living in violation of what the Holy Spirit has encoded into our spirits (or hearts). When our actions are not in line with what God has written on our hearts, it produces frustration, inaction, and ill‐effects. Let s look at these verses again in the Complete Jewish Bible: Galatians 5:16‐18 (CJB) 16 What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit. Then you will not do what your old nature wants. 17 For the old nature wants what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is contrary to the old nature. These oppose each other, so that you find yourselves unable to carry out your good intentions. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, then you are not in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Torah into legalism. Can you see now why it is so important for a believer to meditate on the Word of God to learn God s core values and to begin living by them? It is the only way to live by the Spirit and to Biblical Life eMag | Premier Issue
gain victory in our lives. No wonder the Word continually promises blessings and prosperity to those that meditate in the instructions of God! The year 2012 needs to be a year in which you return to the full counsel of God s Word, spending time meditating on the principles you learn and then beginning to make them a part of who you are and how you live. As you do, you will discover: Greater faith: your spirit and soul will be in agreement. Greater results in prayer: powerful prayer is a product of a right relationship with God and a system of living that is in agreement with His Word. (Your heart can believe what you are asking for.) Strategic Positioning: your biblical core values will place you at the right place and at the right time for miracles. More open doors for Heaven to move in your life. Fewer open doors for Hell to invade your life. A better life and a brighter tomorrow await you when God is the One who provides your core values to live by!
