    When Covenants change, so to do the protocols governing provisions within

    that covenant, both naturally and spiritually.

 

    In Deuteronomy 28:1-2 we see how it functions under a covenant of law. The

    essential principal is that if we fulfil certain conditions then God will

    make certain provisions. In other words it is based on our own performance.

 

    Nevertheless Jesus said this is the blood of the New Testament (Covenant)

    and under grace the conditions of personal performance were removed and it

    became about what Jesus has done rather than what we need to do.

 

    Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us

    all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

 

    2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things

    that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that

    hath called us to glory and virtue

 

    Please note that in 2 Peter (above) there are two distinct areas of

    provision (a) Life – our natural physical life & (b) Godliness – our

    spiritual walk

 

    The blood of Jesus in the New Testament was sprinkled 7 times to fulfil the

    prophetic type in Leviticus 16:14-15. Nevertheless they we told in Exodus

    12 to transfer the blood from the basin to the door posts / lintels with a

    bunch of Hyssop and this should be an ordinance to be kept forever. The

    effectiveness of the blood depended entirely on the successful transfer

    from the basin to the door post with Hyssop.

 

    When this was done the blood required 2 things (a) Protection for the

    people of God & (b) the execution of judgement on the god’s of Egypt

 

    We need to be aware of the same principal today.

 

    Revelations 12:10-11 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come

    salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his

    Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them

    before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the

    Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives

    unto the death.

 

    Today the “word of our testimony” takes the place of the hyssop of old.

    When we declare what the blood of Jesus has accomplished for ourselves,

    city and nation we are effectively transferring the blood spiritually to

    the doors and lintels.

 

    In being sprinkled seven times the blood has:

 

    Spiritually (Godliness)

 

    1. Redeemed us 2. Justified us 3. Cleansed us 4. Sanctified us 5.

    Intercedes for us 6. Give us access 7. Eternal Life

 

    Naturally (Life)

 

    1. Restores our will 2. Give us peace 3. Prosperity 4. Healing 5. Authority

    over what we touch 6. Authority where we walk 7. Acceptance and Joy

 

    Blessings

 

    Mike.

 

    Have a great week
