I may sound like a broken record sometimes, but this IS\r\nthe Best Day of Your Life!<\/strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nYup! It really is!<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAs we've already commented in the previous posts, Della and I have been\r\nactively praying and interceding over the nation with other brothers and\r\nsisters in the Lord each morning, and of course, over this region in which we\r\nlive. During the past week, the emphasis in prayer has been in the nation's\r\neducational system. We have been lifting educators (school principals,\r\nsuperintendents, teachers, college and university professors, school boards,\r\netc.) before the Lord in prayer, asking God to move with the wind of His Spirit\r\nto bring change -- real change, Godly change! Twice during the past week, we\r\nhave received visions of remarkable events happening in our schools.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAs many of you well know, the ACLU has been actively warring in our courts\r\nagainst educators and schools where the name of the Lord Jesus Christ -- or\r\neven simply Scriptures -- are mentioned or named. This is a spiritual battle\r\nthat has been being waged. We don't waste our time praying against individuals\r\nor naming them in our prayers. Rather, we target the demonic forces and\r\nprincipalities, the rulers of the darkness that pervades our education system.\r\nWhen attorneys who work for the ACLU or other similar organizations become\r\ninvolved in lawsuits against teachers -- and even more recently some students\r\n-- these attorneys are nothing more than puppets whose strings are being pulled\r\nby wicked spirits out to remove every vestige of the Word of God or the name of\r\nJesus from public education and the public conversation.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIt is silliness run amuck to pray against these attorneys because they are not\r\nthe driving force behind this effort. If you want to deal with a problem you go\r\nto the causal force and remove it. The rest of the problem will go away when\r\nyou deal with the cause. Our problems are not with people: they are with\r\ndemonic forces that deceive people, making those people nothing more than pawns.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThat said, I had a waking vision one morning last week in which I saw a group\r\nof young children -- perhaps second or third-graders -- in a courtroom sitting\r\nbehind their teacher who was on trial for quoting Scripture and mentioning the\r\nname of the Lord Jesus in class. The ACLU attorney who was pushing this case\r\nwas standing behind his desk ranting and raving about the\r\n\"unconstitutionality\" and the \"danger to the minds\" of the\r\nyoung students. This attorney was really worked up, in a sweat, and waving his hands.\r\nA young girl of perhaps seven or eight years of age quietly got up out of her\r\nseat some two or three rows back and walked through the swinging doors of the\r\nbarrier between the attorneys and the folks in the courtroom. This young girl\r\nwas so filled with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit that she carried\r\nthe peace of God with each step.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe attorney was oblivious to her and didn't realize what was happening until\r\nshe quietly touched him on the back. The power of God hit that man and he\r\nstopped mid-sentence and began to weep. The young girl just looked up at him\r\nand said, \"It's OK, Sir. You just didn't know Jesus!\" The court\r\nproceedings stopped instantly, and within short order the case was dismissed.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis morning a second vision took place. This time I was given a peek into\r\ndifferent public schools -- primary, middle, secondary and even post-secondary\r\ninstitutions -- where students filled the halls. They were praying for each\r\nother, miracles of healing and deliverance were taking place, teachers were\r\nbeing saved and the Holy Spirit was literally blowing through the classrooms\r\nand hallways with the winds of change and deliverance.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThese were visions, of course, but they gave real impetus and direction to our\r\nintercession. The Holy Spirit gives us these visions in order to direct our\r\nprayers and intercession. If God's people will wake up and begin to pray in\r\nagreement with the heart of the Lord as the Holy Spirit is showing us, the day\r\nwill shortly come when we won't have to fight battles in courtrooms. We won't\r\nhave to face off against specious arguments that are spiritual at their core.\r\nThe catch is that believers are going to have to understand that -- as Jesus\r\nmade clear -- \"All authority in heaven and in earth\" has been given\r\nto us by the commissioning from the Lord. We simply have to use that authority\r\nin agreement with what the Holy Spirit is directing at the moment. When Jesus\r\ncommanded us to pray, \"Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it\r\nis in Heaven,\" this is exactly what He meant.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nUnderstand? Good! Then let's refocus our prayers and begin to target the real\r\nenemy -- NOT people!<br>\r\n<br>\r\nCoffee's on. Pour yourself a cup and pull up a chair. Della made some cinnamon\r\nbuns (vitamins, you know!) on Saturday, and they go great with this dark-roasted\r\nColumbian.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn Part 1 of this series we mentioned Melchizedek's visit to Abraham following\r\nhis spectacular military victory over the armies of <span class=SpellE>Chedorlaomer<\/span>,\r\n<span class=SpellE>Amraphel<\/span>, <span class=SpellE>Arioch<\/span> and Tidal.\r\nIt is recorded like this in Genesis 14:<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>\"And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his\r\ntrained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and\r\npursued them unto Dan. And he divided himself against them, he and his\r\nservants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto <span class=SpellE>Hobah<\/span>,\r\nwhich is on the left hand of Damascus. And he brought back all the goods, and\r\nalso brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the\r\npeople. And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the\r\nslaughter of <span class=SpellE>Chedorlaomer<\/span>, and of the kings that were\r\nwith him, at the valley of <span class=SpellE>Shaveh<\/span>, which is the\r\nking\u2019s dale. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he\r\nwas the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be\r\nAbram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the\r\nmost high God, which hath delivered <span class=SpellE>thine<\/span> enemies\r\ninto thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.\"<\/em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nEver wonder why Melchizedek came out with bread and wine? Why do we not see\r\nthis picture earlier in Scripture? The quick and simple answer is that this is\r\nthe first time we see God making a covenant with a man. We do have an earlier\r\ncovenant mentioned, but it was a covenant with the human race (See Genesis\r\n9:8-17) not to ever destroy the earth again by a flood. That was different\r\nentirely in nature. Whenever a covenant was struck or \"cut\" (as the\r\nterm goes in Hebrew: <span class=SpellE>beriyth<\/span>) that term -- to\r\n\"cut covenant\" -- always denoted a cutting of the flesh (almost\r\nalways the right hand) so that blood would run. It therefore became a\r\n\"blood covenant.\" The blood of both parties to the covenant would be\r\nmingled together making them \"blood brothers.\"<br>\r\n<br>\r\nNot until the <span class=SpellE>Nephilim<\/span> appeared on the earth (the\r\nseed of the fallen angels mingled with the human race) (This is a topic for\r\nfuture discussion, but one we won't get into in this series.) contaminating the\r\nLaw of God, which was written in the hearts of men, do we see any evidence of\r\ncovenants where men would drink each other's blood mingled with wine. God's\r\npeople were forever forbidden to drink blood. Consider first the command given\r\nto Israel under the Mosaic Law, and then we will look <span class=SpellE>a<\/span>\r\n<span class=SpellE>a<\/span> prophetic word that Jacob gave concerning the\r\ncoming Messiah.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>\"And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers\r\nthat sojourn among you, that <span class=SpellE>eateth<\/span> any manner of\r\nblood; I will even set my face against that soul that <span class=SpellE>eateth<\/span>\r\nblood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is\r\nin the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement\r\nfor your souls: for it is the blood that <span class=SpellE>maketh<\/span> an\r\natonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul\r\nof you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that <span class=SpellE>sojourneth<\/span>\r\namong you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or\r\nof the strangers that sojourn among you, which <span class=SpellE>hunteth<\/span>\r\nand <span class=SpellE>catcheth<\/span> any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he\r\nshall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the\r\nlife of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said\r\nunto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for\r\nthe life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever <span class=SpellE>eateth<\/span>\r\nit shall be cut off.\"<\/em> (Leviticus 17:10-14)<br>\r\n<br>\r\nNotice two things in this passage: First, the command NOT to eat (or drink)\r\nblood is based on the fact that <em>\"the life of the flesh is in the\r\nblood.\"<\/em> Secondly, the command is predicated on the Law of God that <em>\"it\r\nis the blood that <span class=SpellE>maketh<\/span> an atonement for the\r\nsoul.\"<\/em> We'll come back to this picture in a minute, but let's take a\r\nlook at Jacob's prophecy.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>\"The <span class=SpellE>sceptre<\/span> shall not depart from Judah,\r\nnor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the\r\ngathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass\u2019s colt\r\nunto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the\r\nblood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with\r\nmilk.\"<\/em> (Genesis 49:10-12)<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBecause of the way the Hebrew often translates into English, it isn't\r\nimmediately apparent -- at least in the KJV -- but this is a prophecy\r\nconcerning Jesus shedding His blood. The very fact that the cup at Jesus' table\r\n(when He ate the Last Supper with His disciples) was wine became a fulfillment\r\nof prophecy. Jesus fulfilled every single element of Jacob's prophecy. The\r\npart, however, that I'm focusing on in this instance is the wine, and the\r\ncovenant nature of the cup.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThere are two things we should remember concerning Melchizedek's visit to\r\nAbraham. The first is that a divine covenant was being established. The seed of\r\nAbraham would be the people of covenant. God would establish His covenant with\r\nAbraham, then make that same covenant with Isaac, and then repeat it for the\r\nthird time with Jacob. This was the \"threefold cord\" Solomon\r\ndescribes in Ecclesiastes 4:12. The picture Solomon draws in Ecclesiastes\r\n4:9-12 is that of covenant, and that was the covenant God was establishing with\r\nAbraham.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe second is that which Paul describes in writing to the Hebrews. <em>\"For\r\nwhen God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he <span\r\nclass=SpellE>sware<\/span> by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless\r\nthee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently\r\nendured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the greater: and an\r\noath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing\r\nmore abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his\r\ncounsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was\r\nimpossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled\r\nfor refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an\r\nanchor of the soul, both sure and <span class=SpellE>stedfast<\/span>, and which\r\n<span class=SpellE>entereth<\/span> into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner\r\nis for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of <span\r\nclass=SpellE>Melchisedec<\/span>.\"<\/em> (Hebrews 6:13-20)<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIf Jesus was a High Priest forever after the order and succession (taxis in the\r\nGreek text) of Melchizedek, then He was following the same pattern that\r\nMelchizedek established when he brought bread and wine to Abraham to signify\r\nthe covenant God was making with him. Let's not forget that the apostle Paul\r\nalso reminds us that,<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>\"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse\r\nfor us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that <span class=SpellE>hangeth<\/span>\r\non a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through\r\nJesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.\r\nBrethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man\u2019s covenant,\r\nyet if it be confirmed, no man <span class=SpellE>disannulleth<\/span>, or <span\r\nclass=SpellE>addeth<\/span> thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the\r\npromises made. He <span class=SpellE>saith<\/span> not, And to seeds, as of\r\nmany; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the\r\ncovenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four\r\nhundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the\r\npromise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of\r\npromise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.\"<\/em> (Galatians 3:13-18)<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOne more Scripture will fill in the missing link to these passages.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>\"And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, \"This is My\r\nbody, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.\" In the same way He\r\ntook the cup also after supper, saying, \"This cup is the new covenant in\r\nMy blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often\r\nas you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord\u2019s death until He\r\ncomes.\"<\/em> (I Corinthians 11:24-26 NASB)<br>\r\n<br>\r\nNow are you seeing it? The Covenant was established with Abraham, confirmed in\r\nIsaac, and tripled in Jacob. The Covenant began with bread and wine through\r\nMelchizedek. Although natural Israel broke the Covenant, Jesus reinstated it,\r\nbut made it available to the whole human race for \"whosoever will.\"\r\nPaul makes abundantly clear that Jesus took the curse that came with the\r\nbreaking of the Covenant so that the blessing of Abraham could be restored.\r\nJesus became our High Priest after the arrangement and succession of\r\nMelchizedek, and at the same time offered the Covenant bread and wine as the\r\nproof that the Blessing and Covenant were again available to those who would\r\nenter into that Covenant with Jesus.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis picture gets even larger and more amplified when you see just what\r\nhappened in the context of the <span class=SpellE>Abrahamic<\/span> Covenant\r\nthrough Jesus' death and resurrection, and how specifically it relates to the\r\nTable of the Lord. That'll wait for our next Coffee Break.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBefore we wrap up today, however, there is one more thing you need to see. This\r\nis the primary connection between the Covenant and the Cup.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nLuke 24:39 tells us what Jesus said when He appeared before His disciples\r\nfollowing His resurrection. Pay close attention to the precise wording of what\r\nJesus says. <em>\"Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle\r\nme, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.\"<\/em>\r\nThink about this!<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWhat was Jesus when He went to the Cross? He was flesh and blood. We know from\r\nLeviticus 17:11, <em>\"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I\r\nhave given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:\"<\/em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nWhen Jesus rose from the dead, the life that was in Him was not blood: it was\r\nSpirit -- that same Spirit that God initially breathed into Adam when he became\r\na living, speaking spirit. What was it that Paul said to the Galatians about\r\nJesus' taking the curse?<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>\"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse\r\nfor us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that <span class=SpellE>hangeth<\/span>\r\non a tree: ......... that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through\r\nfaith.\"<\/em><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSee it? The Cup was the promise of the Spirit. The wine was representative of\r\nthe life of the Spirit. Paul says that as often as we \"eat this bread and\r\ndrink this cup\" we demonstrate, declare, show and preach Jesus' death --\r\nand thereby new life in the Spirit -- until He comes.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThat's where I have to stop today. Meditate on this picture. Cogitate.
