Covenant with God

"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." Jeremiah 31.33

It's important to note in the covenant of the Lord with His people, that He puts His law first in their minds and then in their hearts. This has been the main reason why many Christians are failures, not only in their secular life, but much more in their spiritual life. They put the heart in the place of the mind: they live by what they feel or don't feel…

Faith is rational, intelligent. It has nothing to do with emotions.

Exhort

"Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict." Titus 1:9

In the assurance of the Faithful Word and in the full knowledge of the rights granted by the Father, let us help and guide those who are in doubt and stand opposed to the intelligent faith.

In the synagogue

"Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, saying, Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God! But Jesus rebuked him, saying, be quiet, and come out of him! And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him." Luke 4:33-35

This man was in the synagogue and fell to the ground because he had a deceiving spirit. Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and the demon that was in him came out and the man was set free. The Spirit of God lifts the person up and makes him happy. The antiHoly Spirit makes the person fall, be oppressed and ashamed.

Lamp

"The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart." Proverbs 20:27

God knows when the lamp of the man is off, for the light of His counsel is not in his thoughts.

Open Mind

"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." Romans12:2

In other words the Holy Spirit warns us that we must not reconcile our faith with the fashion of this world. The character of God must be manifested in us. This manifests the resurrection of our Lord and glorifies Him in us.

The renewal of our mind means developing the faith to know and execute the will of God.

The tongue

“And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.” James 3.6

To play with the tongue is to play with fire. The good or evil that it speaks actually happens. You need to have the mind of the Lord Jesus not to speak foolish and poisonous things. The power of the tongue is so great that the Holy Spirit teaches us that if anyone wants to love their life and see happy days, they must control their tongue not to speak evil things, especially of people.

First Sign

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” I Timothy 4:1 

The Holy Spirit says that some will leave their faith to obey deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. But more than that, we need to consider those who leave Jesus because of their family, boyfriend, marriage, money, fornication, adultery, glory and pleasures of the world.

This is the first big sign of the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
