TODAY’S MANNA for Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2016

Have you been adopted or grafted into Israel?

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Hebrews 8:10 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Remember, the house of Israel refers to the Church, The Body of Christ, not a country in the context of the Bible. So many just believe that He was only referring here to the country of Israel, the Jews. Not so, Israel represents the entire Church of God, the Entire Body of Christ. Those who believe in and have made Jesus the Lord of their lives, not just a country. It provides for those who have been grafted in or adopted as sons and daughters through their faith and belief in Jesus Christ.
No, this better covenant, founded on better promises will not be written on tablets of stone. It will not be written in the blood of animals. It will not be hung on the walls of the sanctuary or in our courthouses. No, it shall be written in our hearts and put into our minds. And after God has done this He promises to be a God unto us. But how do you suppose He’s going to put it in our minds and write it upon our hearts? Let me tell you how. Through the washing of water by the Word that renews our minds (Eph 5:26 & Romans 12:1-2). He will use His Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to get His Word in our hearts. He will place you in a local church so that His Pastor can shepherd and feed you. We must first renew our minds and fill our hearts with God’s Word by reading, studying, and meditating it always. We must be willing to give ourselves completely to God and be in obedience to Him and His Word at all times. We must make a sacrifice of our time, our talent, and even our treasury to God.

MY PRAYER…
Father God, give me revelation knowledge of Your Word and of Your covenants with Your people. Open the eyes of my understanding that I may see and understand the everlasting promises that You made with our fathers and that are still ours today. Lord help me to cleanse and renew my mind and to fill my heart with the words of Your covenant to me. Help me to understand the true meaning of Your Word, Your covenants, Your promises, and most of all Your grace and Your mercy unto Your children. In Jesus mighty name, I pray.
Amen
