In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes that God is a God of covenant and does not break his promises. He highlights the example of the covenant God made with Noah after the flood, where God promised to never destroy the earth with a flood again. The speaker also mentions that the men of God in the Old Covenant would often pray and remind God of the covenant he made with their forefathers. However, the speaker also points out that there is a difference between the covenants made before Jesus Christ and the new and everlasting covenant that was established through Jesus' death and resurrection.

Well, welcome. Welcome to our program and today we are going to speak about the covenants of God and I think it's exciting because as we look through the old covenant we understand that God is a God of covenant. He makes covenant with man and when God makes covenant with man it does not draw back. It does not draw back. When God says something he stands for what he says because God is a God of truth. He's not a man to lie. When he says something he'll go to the end and he makes a covenant with man. He will not break covenant. Man can break the covenant but God will not break the covenant. That's why many times the great men of God in the old covenant when they were in trouble and they had gone far from God the men of God would pray and he said God remember the covenant that you have made with our forefathers. Remember God did not forget but these men knew that God was a God of truth. That what he said he would not weather. He wouldn't lie and it's interesting to know the difference between God's covenant with man before Jesus Christ came and this new covenant that I started when Jesus Christ died on that cross and rose from the dead and opened up a way for man to enter into a new and everlasting covenant with God. New and everlasting. New and eternal covenant. Eternal not to be stopped. Let's open our bibles this morning in the book of Genesis chapter 9. The first covenant that God made with Noah after the flood. In fact let us read from verse 8. Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him after the flood saying and as for me behold I establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that is with you the birds the cattle and every beast of the earth with you of all that go out of the ark every beast of the earth thus I establish my covenant with you never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth and then God showed them a sign a sign of this covenant and he said I set my rainbow in the cloud and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between me and the earth between me and all men and all living creature that never again God will send a flood on the earth and we can see that God kept his covenant in Genesis chapter 17 verse 10 to 13 God made another covenant with Abraham and his descendants in the flesh the circumcision of the flesh we know about that and every covenant as we are going to look at it now very quickly talks about the things in the spirit every covenant in the old covenant represented something that would happen in the new covenant in the heart of men it would represent something that would happen to every single person that would agree to make a covenant with God under the new covenant and would give him his life and his heart so circumcision of the flesh the covenant that God made with Abraham was established by a circumcision of the flesh and if we read in Exodus chapter 24 verse 4 to 8 God made a covenant through the blood of animals and again that speaks of the blood of Jesus Christ in Exodus chapter 31 verse 16 17 we are not going to go through it because it's going to be too long but then God made another covenant through the Sabbath to Israel and all his descendants in the flesh now we need to understand in the old covenant God made covenant with the people of Israel that's why when he talked to men men of God like Abraham like Moses like David like Aaron when he established this covenant he established with covenant with the people of Israel and his descendants in the flesh it spoke about it spoke about the the covenant the new covenant through the cross of Jesus Christ but it was not a covenant that would be eternal for the world and for all the those who would believe in Christ Jesus it was a sign it was representing something that would be included in the new covenant but in the spirit and in the heart of men and then came the prophets and the first prophets that talked about what would happen after the cross of Jesus Christ the first prophets that would talk about the new covenant the covenant of the heart was the prophet Joel about 70 years before Jesus he spoke about the new covenant Isaiah the prophet was also the first one of the first prophets that talked about the new covenant what would God do and in the book of Isaiah we'll open in the book of Isaiah chapter 55 he spoke about a time the time that would come he spoke about the new covenant talks about the pouring of the holy spirit chapter 55 verse 1 he says everyone who thirst come to the waters and you who have no money come buy and eat yes come buy wine and milk without money and without price why do you spend money for what is not bread and your wages for what does not satisfy listen carefully to me and eat what is good and let your soul delight itself in abundance verse 4 indeed i have given him as a witness to the people a leader and commander for the people surely you shall call a nation you do not know and nations who do not know you shall run to you because of the lord your god and the holy one of israel for he has glorified you now he's talking about the lord he's talking about jesus he's talking about the coming of the lord about a new era a new time a new covenant in chapter 66 of the book as i am it reads like this he said there were men in the old in the old testament that saw in the spirit that saw christ in the spirit you know even abel saw christ in the spirit abraham moses these great men of god saw christ in the spirit but then came the prophets who talked about the time who talked about what would happen who talked about the pouring of the spirit the coming of the lord moses saw in the spirit but then here the prophets talked about the coming of the lord to establish a new covenant for all those who would believe and this is what is important so when we look at the old covenant today we understand we understand why god made covenant with the people of israel because he had a greater plan he had a further plan down the road god had in mind to save the whole world god had in mind to open the door for every man every woman every creature to be saved to be reconciled to the lord to have eternal life and these prophets of old god spoke to them and told them about what would happen that jesus would come that the spirit of the lord would be poured out on this earth and men and women would be able to believe in christ and be saved and be reconciled to god so it's absolutely extraordinary so in chapter 61 isaiah verse one the spirit of the lord god is upon me now it's it's like jesus speaking now and the prophet isaiah gets that revelation from god about the coming of jesus and what would jesus himself would say and do and he said the spirit of the lord god is upon me because the lord has anointed me god the father has anointed me jesus to preach good tidings to the poor he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound to proclaim the acceptable year of the lord and the day of vengeance of our god to comfort all who mourn to console those who mourn in zion to give them beautiful ashes the oil of joy for a morning the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that they may be called trees of righteousness the planting of the lord that he may be glorified now here the prophet isaiah is prophesying about us about our time about the time after the cross that jesus would come and heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free and make a covenant with everyone that would believe and that the lord would come and captivate our hearts so that we would no longer live like the old covenant people but under a new covenant the covenant of the heart you see the the prophet isaiah was was proclaiming a new and everlasting covenant which will be completely different from the old covenant they were prophesying these things god showed it to them that jesus was coming and they even prophesied that the town that he would be born and they even prophesied about what the spirit of the lord would do in these times the prophet joel i will pour my spirit upon all flesh could be a new time a new era a new lifestyle and men and women would now leave by the prompting of the heart by the prompting of the holy spirit let's open our bibles in the book of galatians chapter 3 the people of the old covenant they were living under the law we all know that but i believe it's important for us to understand what jesus christ did when he died on that cross in the book of galatians chapter 3 the apostle paul makes a declaration verse 19 let's read from verse 19 what purpose then does the law serve it was added because of transgressions till the seed should come until the day that the seed should come until until means it was there and then something will happen and it will not be there again until the seed should come to whom the promise was made and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator now a mediator does not mediate for one only but god is one is the law then against the promise of god certainly not for if there had been a law given which could have given life truly righteousness would have been by the law truly righteousness would have been by the law if there had been a law given which could have given life life can you see here that god has another plan another plan that men would carry his life that men now would live in a relationship with him not bound by law not under the obligation of following some law and obligation but in a deep relationship of the heart between god and him and the seed had to come jesus had to come to open the door for that new covenant for that new relationship with god god had planned that well before the foundation of the earth god knew everything he knew that men would sin he knew that he had to find a plan to make a plan to reconcile men to him and he did that long long ago and he planned a day a day that jesus christ would die and when that would happen men would have an opportunity to have a new relationship with god a relationship of the heart unique relationship unique that the people of the old covenant did not have we need to understand that the covenant of the heart is unique men lived with god under the law and now comes the time where men will have fellowship with god with their hearts although god knows the heart of men under the old covenant and he also knows the heart of god the heart of men under the new covenant but now god puts a platform he gives us the opportunity and what is he going to do we're going to see what is he going to do so that we could leave that deep pure relationship honest relationship true relationship righteous relationship with god that's why it is unique and god set that covenant started that covenant when jesus christ came and died on that cross and rose again from the dead so let's look what happened on that cross Galatians chapter 3 we read from verse now 22 but the scripture has confined all under sin in other words everything up to jesus was controlled by sin and law could not deal with sin law could not deal with sin in fact sin was revealed by law but law could not deal with it that's what it says here the scriptures confine all on the sin all you see we cannot run away from the fact that man is a sinner and that sin has got to be dealt with somehow otherwise it's total failure total failure and under the old covenant and under the old covenant god brought the law the law came sin was revealed men knew he was sinning but god had not come to the place where the time was there was a time there was a time that god would deal with sin so that every creature every man every woman even before the new covenant started even before the new covenant started that cross that sacrifice will deal with sin of every single person before or after the cross that's why the bible paul says all was confined under sin and if we do not deal with sin we are failures you can't live with god you can't have fellowship with god it's impossible you can know you are a sinner you can have your own type of righteousness but you can't fellowship with god until that sin is taken care of and the law cannot take care of that sin therefore god brought jesus christ that's why the new covenant is powerful unique and eternal eternal i bless god that when jesus christ died on that cross he took care of sins of those who died even before jesus came and god is going to judge every man according to his own righteousness but one thing is true is that all the sins of the world have been taken care of which the law could not take care how can you see something here that's why every man is going to be judged you cannot be judged unless there is some foundation and the foundation of judgment is a cross the foundation of judgment is the cross every single person will have to face that cross you died before it came someone died before it came still you say i didn't know he didn't know but god is going to judge him according to his justice but his sin has been dealt with so all the scriptures confine all under sin that the promise that the promise which promise made to who abraham that the promise made to abraham that he would be the father of many nations and if anyone would believe would have faith like abraham had faith that's why god justified abraham because of faith because of faith abraham was justified so the promise that was made to abraham is that he would be the father of many many nations the father of the mauritians all those who believed all the mauritians who believed are you following here all the europeans who believe all the indians who believe and are the same faith like abraham had when god justified him then you mauritians europeans indians will be justified the same way by faith by faith but by faith in christ jesus by faith in the work of christ on that cross now we're talking about new covenant but the scripture has confined all understand that the promise by faith in jesus christ might be given to those who believe to those who believe in who in the seed the seed christ jesus and you see hey now we need to understand if you and i understand that the cross has dealt with your sins past present future and you believe and you believe in what jesus christ did on that cross concerning your sin and my sin then you and i enter in a relationship with god as we believe as we believe in christ our savior in christ the lord then we enter into a relationship with him we enter in a deep relationship with him not through our intelligence not with the mind but with the heart with the heart and god made it possible made that possible now open your bibles within the book of jeremiah chapter 31 verse 31 behold are you there behold the days are coming says the lord when i will make a new covenant with the heart of israel and with the house of judah not according to the covenant that i made with their fathers in the day that i took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of egypt not according to that old covenant correct my covenant which they broke though i was a husband to them says the lord but this is the covenant that i will make with the house of israel after those days says the lord i will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts and i will be their god and they shall be my people can you see i write the covenant i write it i write it on their hearts on the tables of their hearts that's what the prophet jeremiah said aiming in the days of jesus to the cross they shall be my people who they shall become my people the bible says we who were not his people we are now his people amen because we were not part of israel we were not part of israel we were not part of that covenant of the old cover of the old covenant but we became now one we take part in the new covenant with god as we believe we were not his people but now we have become his people and the lord says that he writes he writes the law in on the tables of your heart and my heart it's a covenant now of the heart it's unique and i and you know we understand why people do not understand what we live what we live they cannot understand until you experience that miracle that happens in your heart as you believe and you sincerely believe and you understand that your sins have been taken care of on that cross and you become a new creature in jesus christ and your whole life is starts to change completely completely who can understand that no one can understand that if he's not born again no one can understand that if he has not believed in christ and given his life to christ and understand that some all his sins have been forgiven and taken care of on that cross and at that very point at that very point of experience with god you cannot make your own righteousness no you and i now and all those who believe live according to the righteousness of god not according to our own righteousness we cannot just say this is right and this is wrong and then the next one comes and say no this is wrong and this is right no when you get into the kingdom of god there is one righteousness the righteousness of god it's amazing how all our own righteousness is totally upside down i thought that i could do this and that would be okay but when the lord god comes in in that relationship with you then god witnesses to your heart his own righteousness and then you cannot discuss with god you cannot argue with god you cannot and i cannot because when you are born again and you have believed in christ jesus sin is sin sin is sin the same sin to you is sin to me the same sin to god is sin to me the same sin to god is sin to you you can't find that in the world you can't find that with men and women that have not been born again and have put their faith in jesus christ and him alone and have given their lives to him you cannot because each one has got his own righteousness each one each one each one with his own understanding of sin yeah but when you enter into the kingdom of god you cannot have any more your own righteousness and i cannot for myself as well we live now according to one righteousness the righteousness of god the justice of god the truth of god not the truth of men the truth of god the righteousness of god and that comes in your heart it's a witness in your heart can you understand it's a witness in your heart it's unique that relationship with god under the new covenant is unique powerful new everlasting eternal it deals with your sin past presence and future okay let's get back to galatians we've deviated a little bit here but anyway all right verse 23 but before faith came before faith came we were kept under god by the law kept kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed we were kept by the law that's how it goes that's reality we were kept by the law that's what it says we were kept under god by the law it was like a how do you call that a a way to show us a little bit what's right what's wrong can you understand it was a guideline for our lives it was a guideline without being able to make us obey until faith comes until kept for the faith kept for the faith which would afterwards be revealed therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to christ that we might be justified by faith amen that we might be justified by faith that's what we're talking about now now can you go a little bit in the same chapter we look at verse 13 christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law redeemed delivered us is that right redeemed us delivered us from the curse of the law removed the law and all its ordinances and regulations and obligations redeemed us delivered us from it removed it from our life christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law and it says having been a curse for us verse 14 that the blessing of abraham might come upon the gentiles in christ jesus that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith this verse 14 says it all it's like complete complete the blessing of abraham father of many nations he became the father of many nations by faith might come the blessing of abraham might come upon who you and i the gentiles how how in christ jesus in christ jesus you can't receive that blessing outside christ you cannot in christ jesus that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith that's a total sermon here hey that's complete there's nothing nothing left there it says it all it's clear and this is what the lord jesus christ had come to establish he has come to establish a new covenant so that you and i and all those who believe can have that relationship with christ from our hearts from deep down in our hearts real that's where it becomes real you know a man is who he is by what he carries in his heart a man is who he is by what has been invested deposited written on the tables of his heart by the spirit and he's also who he is when nothing of the spirit has been written it's the same in other words a man is who he is by the condition of his heart and if you are saved and you have if you have i've had faith in jesus christ and you've entered the kingdom of god and the lord by the spirit writes on the tables of your heart and my heart the same law you see then it takes our lives then we are who we are according to what has been invested in our lives and this is what makes our relationship with christ the condition of our heart and that's what makes our relationship real or not it's real with christ when your heart is right and that relationship is somewhat broken broken when your heart is not real and pure so you cannot anymore live according to what you do according to the things that you do hiding beyond the things that you do in that new covenant you cannot do that and i we cannot do that anymore it's impossible because we cannot hide anything from god he is the one that knows the depth of our hearts everything that is in there and we cannot lie to god and we cannot uh what you say fool the lord we cannot we cannot try to do things so as to please us and to appease our conscience but whatever is real to the lord and acceptable to the lord is the condition of our heart when it comes from a pure and and and and right heart sincere heart otherwise it's nothing it it does not please god so it's it's no more that type of relationship that the old covenant people had that's why you and i my brothers and sisters it is very important to keep a clean a pure a sincere heart because all our relationship with christ depends on the state of our hearts because the covenant is the covenant of the heart this is where the lord writes his laws it starts from there and we cannot hide before the lord who i am who i am who you are we are in the spirit who have the lord jesus christ by the spirit as deposited and invested and written in your hearts that's the reality that's how you make the difference between a child in the lord and a grown-up in the spirit in the lord that's how you make a difference between an immature christian and a mature christian it's not on how much he knows the bible it's not how much he can talk about the bible it's how much has been deposited in his heart so that he may bear much fruit in the spirit pleasing to god this is what's important under the new covenant we cannot live under the new covenant like the people of the old covenant it's impossible that's why the lord says from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks yeah all our life is hidden when i say hidden you understand hidden in christ for what we carry that's the reality of our life you see someone walking and you say oh well that's wonderful what he's doing but the reality of who he is it's what he carries in his heart it's not what he's doing it's not maybe the way he's doing it but it's the reality of the spiritual investment in his heart and this is what the lord looks at before he looks at our doings our the things that we do the works that we do so it's a completely unique type of covenant of lifestyle now you understand why we don't need the law because that relationship with god by the spirit will will come to we will come to the place where we will accomplish the same law but by the spirit and as we grow and as we mature and as we experience the dealings of god in our lives and as we are prepared to lose our lives for the life of christ we are going to more and more live like him and carry the reality of the spiritual investment in our hearts so it's you see our lives before god does not depend on some type of law that we have done or broken we are all where we are a child in our relationship with god a little bit more mature a little bit more mature but that's not the point can you understand it's not the point because we are not judged by the lord according to some law that we have obeyed or broken it's not the old covenant it's unique it's a relationship with christ and god meets with us as we are as long as deep down in our hearts we are ready to take up that cross and follow him and deny ourselves and take that road god is not worried about if i am still a child or youth or a grown-up in him he's not worried about that no he's not but that's what the law that's how the lord judge you you've done it you're better i've not done it i'm worse can you see what i'm saying you see i put in front of all of us here a set of laws i do nine out of ten and yes there's ten out of ten this one does seven out of seven so who is better here it seems that agnes is the best of all but you see god does not does not judge us in that type of relationship because i'm not as mature as agnes but i'm getting there and god looks at my heart and know the sincerity of my heart you know god cannot judge me anymore by thou shall or thou shall not because the same way as my brother here our sister agnes and me the same way that we are taking up our cross to further the lord we are going to make it and no matter if i make it in one year and she's already made it and it's not because she's already made it that she's better than me we are talking about the new covenant that's how the pharisees looked at the disciple of jesus and tell him why don't your disciples do what we do why don't you and then don't wash your hands before we go to eat you see everything was judged by something that we had to written as a law anything but you see we cannot live like that anymore we cannot live in that relationship with christ anymore christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law being made himself a curse for us as it is written curse is he that is being hanged on the tree that's why we are a family that's why we are family we can love one another hey can you understand where are we now the new covenant living with our hearts you walk you grow you fall you rise up again you forgive someone you repent of the wrong that you've done with your heart with our hearts because that's the only thing acceptable to god because if you only do what i've just said you do without your hearts without the sincerity of your heart it does not count before god if it's just by words you're going nowhere it's with the heart you're growing that's why forgiveness is with the heart that's why repentance is with the heart it's got to be genuine and the only genuine way is when your heart gets involved otherwise it's only words words words if it's not with the sincerity of your heart you're going nowhere if you do it because just it is written you're going nowhere if you do it just because the bible say and you just say a few words and it's not accompanied by a deep brokenness somehow in your life you're doing it without fruits to put your bibles with me in the book of psalms 51 repentance must be of the heart you see if repentance is not from the heart that same thing that you want to repent is going to destroy your life it will be you will carry it in you if you just want to repent for something with a few words that same thing that you are repenting from is going to follow you and destroy your life if there's not a true repentance it's like you're coming in from the back door you're coming from the window you've got to come through the main door the main door of repentance the main door where you feel like david i have sinned against you god creating me a pure heart and the life of david was fully fully completely totally restored read with me chapter 51 verse 5 verse 3 for i acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is always before me against you you only have i sinned and done this evil in your sight that you may be found just when you speak and blameless when you judge behold i was brought forth in iniquity and in sin my mother conceived me behold you desire truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part you will make me to know wisdom purge me with hyssop and i shall be clean wash me and i shall be withered than snow whiter sorry create verse 10 create in me a clean heart oh god and renew a steadfast spirit within me do not cast me away from your presence and do not take your holy spirit from me you see david is asking god to put truth in his heart truth in his heart in verse 12 he said restore to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me by your generous spirit verse 19 then you shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness with burnt offerings and hold burnt offering then they shall offer bulls on your altar you see my dear brothers and sisters this is the heart that god wants to find in us this is the heart that god wants to find in us you know in the book of corinthians chapter 7 the second book when paul writes the corinthians after he has confronted them in the first book in the second book he talks about how repentance is accompanied by work of god in our lives because it's it's done with our hearts maybe we can look at that we'll see how the apostle paul writes to them to corinthians chapter 7 we read verse 9 now i rejoice not that you were made sorry but that your sorrow led to repentance your sorrow led to repentance you see when you've done something wrong when you and i have sinned somehow in our walk with the lord i'm sure that if we are sincere with god there comes a sorrow in our hearts and paul says to them for you were made sorry in a godly manner that you might suffer loss from us in nothing in other words when we experience that sorrow that leads us to repentance it does not destroy or damage our lives you see it does not destroy our lives on the contrary it builds you and i and that is true repentance for godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation when here the apostle paul talks about salvation he's not talking about eternal life he's not talking about being saved being born again because he's addressing himself to the church they are already born again and saved but he's talking about the salvation of their souls he's talking about their their maturity he's talking about their they're growing up in the lord and he says for godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation not to be regretted even if it brings sorrow in your life even if it's hard even if it's breaking something in you it's not for nothing it's not for nothing you cannot regret it but on the contrary we must rejoice because this is true repentance from the heart but the sorrow of the world produces death you see there's something that true repentance produces in us maturity growth when it comes from the heart when you are sincere when it's true when you've broken that relationship with the lord through what you've done and you feel sorrow in your heart and broken that's true it's not just words you know when you read between the lines how david spoke to god after he was revealed the depth of his sin and how he was totally broken there was sorrow in his heart broken and he repented before god and he cried to god give me a pure heart lord and as we grow with the lord you and i we are going to experience true total repentance not with our words not only just i'm sorry but something that comes from the depth of our heart where you feel that god is at work and god is breaking something deep down in your life and you're growing it's unique new covenant is unique and here the david was probably one of the few one of the few that we can say in the old covenant experience true repentance of new covenant god gave him that experience you see it was more than he has just broken a law and then he goes it's more than i understand it's more that seeing okay i've missed it i broke the law okay i'm not going to read again i'm going but when you read david how he speaks to the lord you can understand that god gave him that experience of a true repentance from the heart that's why repentance under the new covenant repentance that comes from the heart is unique my dear brothers and sisters you feel you're growing forgiveness is the same thing it's at the heart you can't just forgive by words when you forgive it doesn't follow you anymore you feel free you feel free are you agree with me you feel free look in mark chapter 11 the gospel of mark chapter 11 we are nearly there mark chapter 11 verse 25 and whenever you stand praying if you have anything anything against anyone if you have anything against anyone in other words where does that that anything lives where does that anything where is it that anything right it's in your heart it's in your heart if you have anything against someone what does jesus says forgive him forgive him fully not words forgive him and then you are free from the brother we are free from the person you are free from the situation you can meet meet that person eye to eye without any problem you don't have to run away forgiveness clears the things of the spirit forgiveness with from the depth of your heart frees you it sets you free it delivers you from that part that situation from that burden how do you believe how do you believe today you believe where you must believe with your heart that's what the bible says if you believe in your heart you shall be saved yeah or not huh you don't believe with your head you believe with your heart it's a new experience it's an inner faith that's why the new covenant is unique everything happens in the heart and no one can hide you hide it to man but you can't hide it to god because the spirit of the lord he knows everything the inner parts of our hearts he knows exactly everything that we do our whole life if with our hearts you love with your heart you love with your heart and it's and it's the love that the lord has put in your heart otherwise you can't love with your heart you live with your head you see love is not an obligation in the of god it's got to be a reality love is not an obligation it's a reality from the depth of your heart that's where it comes from if you don't understand that the new covenant is a life with your heart you may judge people for how they do things you can judge you can criticize you can do all these things if you do not see further than the action if you don't see further than the words it's like you can approve something that god does not approve and you can disapprove something that god approves oh i see that again you can approve the things that god does not approve and you can disapprove the things that god approves because you are no more living by faith and you are no living according to your heart but you are living in the flesh you are living by sight you are walking by sight you can judge you can criticize you can do all sorts of things because you you don't go further than what you see you do not go deeper than what you see and my brothers and sisters we must leave that for the world and we must come to the place where you and i together we walk by the spirit and we walk from by by our hearts and we and we try to feel to feel what's in the heart of men how many of you know that we are not perfect here how many of you know we are not perfect come on now we are not perfect that's why we need to feel the heart that's the reason why we need to feel the heart because you and i are not perfect and we're going to miss it and we're going to fail and we are going to do things that are not right somehow can be attitudes it can be anything but we must not stop there let's go further deeper deeper deeper deeper deeper deeper you know sometimes you can't deal you can't live the way i'm talking to you now i mean the world cannot live like that the world cannot because the world doesn't have a regenerated heart they don't live by the heart no because what their words say is 100% what they are but you and i know because we can miss it they don't have the foundation they don't have the truth there's nothing spiritual that has been deposited on the tablets of your heart their hearts and the product of their lives can only be sin can only be real for what they say but you and i know you know why because i can be angry and say things and god still loves me because he sees the desires and the reality of who i am and what i want hello but when you see someone who does not know the lord getting angry run away because this is who he is but the christian who is angry for for 5 10 15 seconds somehow the holy spirit can control his life are you there we're talking about new covenant we're talking about living with the heart we're talking about living with the heart and this is what god sees and approves otherwise we would be taken out from the roll from the list of those who who are members of the kingdom of god amen that's why it's exciting to be a child of god and to heal and to live from the heart to live from the heart to feel from the heart amen unique my dear brothers and sisters we do not walk and live by you must do that you shall not do that you've got to do that may the holy spirit enlightens our hearts so that we may be convinced that this new covenant lifestyle is genuine when we take that cross and we deny ourselves and we are ready to follow jesus with all our hearts then we experience the new lifestyle under the new covenant which is living with our hearts amen god bless you all and i believe that the lord will help us he will help us leave that type of life as we walk with him every day every single day amen let's stand back
