All God’s promises are ours in Jesus!
Ex 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Gal 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
As I listened one night as pastor Sharon Daugherty preached one night in healing service at victory.com, she made the statement: “ALL the Promises of God are for us today, Old and New Testament!”
This aligns with:
2 Corinthians 1: (KJV)
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
Well, I like the promises God made through Moses to the children of Israel here. We see that because Jesus, the Israelite, the Messiah, the Christ, was fully accepted by God in His sacrifice upon the cross as an atonement for our sins, that we, beggerly Gentiles, have been grafted into the covenant of God to the Jews, that we have been adopted into His family, full born sons and daughters, by the new birth in our hearts.
John 1:12 (KJV)
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
We have received Jesus, as Lord and Savior, and God our Father has received us as fully adopted sons and daughters!
These promises are for us, today, if we would but simply, in childlike faith, believe and receive them:
We are borne on eagles wings and brought to Him, His presence, and His pleasure!
You shall be a peculiar treasure unto Him above all people!
Ye shall be unto Him a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation!
Notice the shift here in tense. In the Old Testament, the promises read: You SHALL be, speaking of a conditional promise, based upon obedience.
Don’t get me wrong, we still need to obey God, but our new covenant is receive by faith, and we receive first, THEN we obey!
Through Jesus, as children of the most high God, it is written:
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
Notice this truth! Not, we SHALL be, rather, we ARE!
Welcome child of God to the chosen generation, placed into the kingdom as a royal priesthood, a member in particular of this holy nation, a precious, unique, separated people unto the most High God!
When this goes off on the inside of you, you will automatically fulfill the rest of the verse, and start thanking and praising Jesus for the incredibly wonderful thing He has done for us!
Let’s do that right now!
‘Father, I come into your presence, thanking you for your amazing mercy, goodness, and love! Thank you for forgiving, adopting, and embracing me into your kingdom and granting me royal rank, privilege, and blessing in this holy nation, as a citizen of heaven, exercising your authority and honor here in the earth. I thank you Jesus for your sacrifice, and I praise and exalt you for what you did, and continue to do, and my Lord and King. Hallelujah!”
