The Holy Spirit Wants To Rewrite That


The Spirit of the living God is a ready writer! What do you need from God? He is ready to write upon the tablets of your heart.
The Holy Spirit Wants To Rewrite That
-
2 Corinthians 3:3  clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
 -
An epistle is a written message.  You are a written message of Christ.  Not with ink and paper; this was written by the Spirit of the living God on the tablets of flesh.  You got issues?  The Spirit of the living God wants to rewrite the chapters of your life. 
 -
2 Corinthians 3:5  Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,  6  who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
 -
The Spirit of the living God wants to write His truth upon your heart.  When the Spirit is writing it is a life giving flow!  It is time for us the church to arise and heed that which the Spirit of the living God is writing on our hearts.
 -
John 6:63  "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
 -
Hear the word of the Lord!  What He speaks is spirit and life!  Jesus is the life giving spirit!
 -
1 Corinthians 15:44  It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.  45  And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
-
Jesus is the last Adam and indeed He is the life giving spirit! 
 -
2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
 -
The divine order of God is for the old things to pass away and behold, all things have become new.  When the Spirit of the living God begins to write upon your heart there is a taking away of the old and making a new creation of you.  God is not interested in making a new improved old you!  That is why repentance and remission of sin is so important and it is not a step that can be skipped.  One must die to sin in order to be able to live. 
 -
Romans 6:6  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.  7  For he who has died has been freed from sin.  8  Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
 -
Living epistles have died to sin; living epistles have been freed from sin.  Living epistles have a new chapter written and are newly created beings.  It is only through the Spirit of the living God that this is done.
 -
Hebrews 13:20  Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,  21  make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
 -
Living epistles have been brought into the everlasting covenant by the blood of Jesus.  It is time for the living epistles to awaken to the finishing work God is doing in their lives.  Many believers have never walked in victory in their life because they have never been established in the truths of the covenant they have been birth into.  God is a covenant keeping God; learn to walk in the bounds of the covenant and you are guaranteed victory.  Have you ever meet a believer who has no victory in their life?  Introduce them to me and I will show you a believer who does not know how to walk in the covenant of grace and truth.
 -
John 1:16  And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.  17  For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
 -
1 Peter 2:1  Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,  :2  as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,  3  if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.  4  Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,  5  you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.  6  Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."
 -
Living epistles have a hunger for the word of God.  Those who do not know the Word of God can not grow up as that newly created being.  After becoming the newly created creation of God there is a growing up.  Believers are not victims, they are victors.  Living epistle have the object of their faith in Jesus Christ Himself.  Those who believe on the Chief Cornerstone Jesus will by no means be put to shame.  True surrender to Jesus puts a praise in your mouth.  Living epistles are the stones that God raised up to worship and to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God.  John the Baptist told the religious Jewish leader the axe was at the tree and God would cause the rocks to cry out and praise Him.  You and I are the living stones that have been called to cry out. 
 -
1 Peter 2:9  But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
 -
Do you have an area in your life you feel is in darkness?  Put a praise in your mouth!  You are chosen, royal, holy and you are His own special people.  The Spirit of the living God wants to write on your heart victory in every area of life.  Living epistles are always lead into triumph.
 -
2 Corinthians 2:14  Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
 -
Isa 59:21  "As for Me," says the LORD, "this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants' descendants," says the LORD, "from this time and forevermore."  60:1  Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
 -
God is covenant keeper.  He desires to put His Word in your mouth.  Not just your mouth, but your children’s mouth and their children’s mouth.  Many ask why don’t we see the glory of God?  By covenant He wants to put His Word in our mouth and then the glory will shine forth.  The Spirit of God wants to make you a living epistle for the whole world to see.
 -
Romans 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  2  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
 -
Paul was pleading with the church; “in view of God’s mercy present your bodies a living sacrifice.  Not the old man updated and cleaned up a little.  Put on the newly created being and present yourself to God.  It is by transformation and renewing of the mind.  Believe you are a newly created being in Christ Jesus.  Believe the old is gone and the new has come!
 -
Ephesians 2:19  Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,  20  having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone,  21  in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
 -
You are a living epistle written by the Spirit of the living God.  Your citizenship is with the saints and members of the household of God.  You are a living stone that has been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone.  Living epistle have their hope exclusively in Jesus Christ.
 -
Ephesians 4:22  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.
 -
A living epistle knows how to put off the old man and be renewed in the spirit of his mind.  Then there is the putting on the new man which was created in true righteousness and holiness.
 -
Colossians 3:1  If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.  2  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.  3  For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
 -
The living epistles will appear with Jesus in glory.  Set your mind on things above, not on things on earth.  The Spirit of God is trying to write on your heart.  It take a willing heart but the surrender has great reward.
