Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,

“12) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:  13) who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”. John 1:12-13 (NKJV)

We (Believers/Christians/saints/the elect/children of God/heirs of salvation) are in blood covenant with the Sovereign Lord God Almighty. Our confession that “Jesus is Lord” and belief that God the Father raised Him from the dead rendered us heirs of salvation (Romans 10:9; Acts 2:21). In so doing, we were reconciled/restored unto the Father as His children (Romans 5:20-11; 2Co 5:17-18; Ephesians 2:13-19). Jesus the Anointed was the seed sown once for all who will receive Him sent of God the Father; Who walked in perfect obedience to the will of the Father; that by His finished work all that receive Him are restored every right and privilege inherited through Him (Psalm 33:12; Luke 18:29; John 10:10b; Ephesians 1:13-14; Colossians 1:12; Revelation 5:12 [KJV]). Yes, we have an irrevocable covenant ratified by the blood of Jesus, and the only way to opt out is by turning your back on Him and/or blaspheming the Holy Spirit (1Jn 5:16; Mark 3:29) because GOD never forsakes (Deuteronomy 31:6c,8; Joshua 1:5; Hebrews 13:5b).

Our Father – Yahweh/Jehovah – The LORD, is Sovereign; no word is higher and no decree is higher than that of El Elyon – God Most High. Therefore, faith knows: “I am who GOD says I am” and “I can do what GOD says I can do” because faith believes GOD, faith trust GOD, faith has confidence in GOD. In other words, faith is active – speaking in the way of GOD to manifest His promises; The Lord Jesus showed us by example in only speaking and doing as He saw of God the Father (John 5:19, 8:26b,28,38, 12:49-50, 14:10). Faith is powered by divine love and undergirded by patience; fear is the opposite of faith. Patience prevents speak or confessions contrary to faith. Speak or confessions contrary to faith are precipitated by doubt which ushers in fear. All reconciled unto the Family of GOD by the blood of Jesus the Anointed One have been given the measure of faith and the God kind of love by which it operates (Romans 12:3 & 5:5; Galatians 5:6). Yet, each of us must develop our faith. Therefore, since we know that every word from God’s mouth accomplishes everything for which it is sent (Isaiah 55:11 & 45:23), we may know that our faith is strengthened by His Word. It is written, “So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself)“ Romans 10:17 (AMP).

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
