Today’s Reading:
Hebrews 6
Hebrews 8
Hebrews 10
‘So it is impossible for God to lie for we know that his promise and his vow will never change! And now we have run into his heart to hide ourselves in his faithfulness. This is where we find his strength and comfort, for he empowers us to seize what has already been established ahead of time—an unshakable hope! We have this certain hope like a strong, unbreakable anchor holding our souls to God himself. Our anchor of hope is fastened to the mercy seat in the heavenly realm beyond the sacred threshold, and where Jesus, our forerunner, has gone in before us. He is now and forever our royal Priest like Melchizedek. ‘
Hebrews 6:18-20 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
The Gospel is near. The truth of the Gospel is near. Let it remain close to your heart. Allow no one and nothing else to take its place right there near your heart. The Gospel is the essence of power. The Gospel is the Foundation for faith. The true, pure and simple Gospel is the only firm foundation upon which to stand, upon which to walk, upon which to build your family and your life. Build your life upon Me. Build your life on the pure and simple Gospel. All else is sinking sand.
‘For here is the covenant I will one day establish with the people of Israel: I will embed my laws within their thoughts and fasten them onto their hearts. I will be their loyal God and they will be my loyal people. And the result of this will be that everyone will know me as Lord! There will be no need at all to teach their fellow-citizens or brothers by saying, ‘You should know Yahweh ,’ since everyone will know me inwardly , from the most unlikely to the most distinguished. For I will demonstrate my mercy to them and will forgive their evil deeds, and never remember again their sins.”’
Hebrews 8:10-12 TPT
The Gospel, the New Covenant, is what makes the boundary lines for your life. It is what is etched in your heart and courses through your veins and teaches you everything you need for life and godliness. Christ’s resurrection and your commissioning with purpose into service in the building of Christ’s magnificent Kingdom, the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom that cannot be shaken — that is the message of the Gospel. Salvation is here, available and given freely. Commissioning with purpose, anointing and sonship comes as part of that. It’s a package deal. You are not set free to go back and live life the way you always did. You are set free to a new life, with a new commissioning, a new purpose, a fresh calling.
‘And now we are brothers and sisters in God’s family because of the blood of Jesus, and he welcomes us to come into the most holy sanctuary in the heavenly realm—boldly and without hesitation. For he has dedicated a new, life-giving way for us to approach God. For just as the veil was torn in two, Jesus’ body was torn open to give us free and fresh access to him! And since we now have a magnificent High Priest to welcome us into God’s house, we come closer to God and approach him with an open heart, fully convinced that nothing will keep us at a distance from him. For our hearts have been sprinkled with blood to remove impurity, and we have been freed from an accusing conscience. Now we are clean, unstained, and presentable to God inside and out! So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises! ‘
Hebrews 10:19-23 TPT
The Gospel opens the door to life in the Kingdom and life spent for the Kingdom. What a glorious place to be. What a glorious reason to live. Sing, celebrate, rejoice and live in joy. With Christ as your firm foundation and the message of the Gospel of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection victory over sin, death and Satan, you live in a position of victory. You have been set aside and made holy for Kingdom service. You are an anointed priest, a holy vessel set apart for His use, His purposes, His Kingdom. Live accordingly. Walk accordingly. Delight and rejoice in thanksgiving accordingly.
How to Respond
- Rejoice and be spilling over with thanksgiving for the salvation, Gospel and commissioning into service in Christ’s Kingdom that you have received.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. Breathe afresh on me. Help me to return to the joy of my salvation. Help me to live in thanksgiving and with an attitude of service and absolute pleasure at being your child and being given the responsibility to partner with You to build Your glorious Kingdom.
- Declare, Jesus is the son of God. He’s the lamb who was slain to take away the sins of the world. He submitted Himself as a sacrifice for all mankind, so we could be free — so we could live in right relationship with Him and be seen through the covering of His cleansing blood as the very righteousness of God.
- Decree, because of Jesus’s sacrifice, death and resurrection, because of His victory that conquered sin and shame, I live in total freedom. I walk in freedom with the Lord my God. I will never be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the power that set me free.
