Breaking Old Nature Idolatry, Genesis 3:15, Covenant of Christ’s Blood, Removing Inner Idols, Victory of the Cross

 God’s first miracle in subduing the land of idols was turning the Nile River—an idol of life and economic prosperity to the Egyptian people, and the very foundation of royal authority to Pharaoh—into blood.


When the idol that symbolized Egypt’s abundance and power—the Nile—was turned into blood, Pharaoh summoned the Egyptian magicians, who struck the waters and changed them into blood as well.

But the river became even more corrupt and smelled so bad.


Satan’s strategy is to pretend to solve problems—to imitate or cover them up—yet in the end, he only makes the problem worse.


The world claims to heal anxiety with medication, but instead produces severe addiction.

The church cries, “Lord, Lord,” yet fails to change the framework of the old self—and therefore cannot enjoy the Kingdom of God, growing more and more powerless and impoverished.


The reason people worship idols is fear.


Break free from the foolishness of trying to change the environment without changing the root of the problem.

With the gospel God has given us—in the name of Jesus Christ—tear down the idols within us, the strongholds of Satan, the idol of the Nile River in our hearts.


Moses, who encountered God face to face, recorded in the scroll of Scripture all the signs and wonders, the mighty power and great awe, the works of God performed before the eyes of Israel.


The God of Genesis 3:15, who crushed the head of the ancient serpent, clearly recorded in Genesis the covenant that He is the God who fights for us—the Messiah Christ.


Therefore, stand firm and do not be shaken.

When you engage in spiritual battle in the name of Jesus Christ, nothing in all creation can separate you from the love of God.


“Death, disease, helplessness, and the weak, trembling old nature—be completely shattered in the name of Jesus Christ!

May I overflow with the identity and authority as a child of the living God.”


The power of sin feeds on the law.

Do not live as a slave to the law but reign as a king of grace.

The precious blood of Christ on the cross fulfilled the law.


Jesus Christ—who rescued us from the dominion of darkness, who smites the loins of those who rise up against us and strikes our foes till they rise no more—is the image of God.


From today, tear down the idols of the Nile River within us—the gods of money, success, and ideology that have taken our hearts captive.

Let the blood of Christ’s covenant flow like a river.

Jesus Christ has gained victory through the cross. Amen!

(Exodus 7:14–25; Matthew 7:21; Colossians 1:13–15)

The Thoughts of Re-Creation, The Secret to Becoming Lovable Before God and People

Image
The twelve-year-old Jesus was not an ordinary boy. As prophesied by the prophet Isaiah, Jesus was a shoot came up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch bore fruit upon whom the Spirit of the LORD rested – the Spirit of the LORD, the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. He was the fulfiller of the covenant. Born from the bosom of God, the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. However, Mary and Joseph, after twelve years, lost hold of that faith and searched for Jesus for three days with worry, frustration, and irritation, captured by the thoughts of the flesh. Jesus, the remnant who grew in stature and wisdom and in favor with God, knew he must be in his Father God’s house, the place of grace. However, his parents, who had strayed from the place of the covenant and grace, could not enjoy the blessing even with Jesus the Messiah right beside them. The Virgin Mary, who once sa...

A Gospel Community of Worship Centered on the Covenant: 315 Nation

Image
The descendants of Jacob, who possessed the covenant, were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them. The genealogy of the covenant recorded by Moses is directly connected to God’s work of salvation. To be related to God’s work of salvation means to be headed toward the land of Canaan flowing with milk and honey, the land where the Messiah would come. Though Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, the Israelites who stood within God’s work of salvation and timing were greatly blessed according to God's promise to make them as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand of the sea. When we worship centered on the covenant just as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did, we will see evidence that we will increase and multiply by God’s method. This is the easiest way to overcome the world. We are not of the world, but are chosen by God. We are the remnants who carry God’s mission, the pilgrims who evang...

The Re-Creative Language that Transforms Our Thoughts Centered on the Gospel

Image
To love one another does not require much effort. If our thoughts are properly aligned with the gospel, we can love one another just as the Apostle John loved the elder Gaius. When we transform our thoughts centered on the gospel, we begin to speak the words of the gospel. The re-creative language Christians use brings prosperity to the soul, success in all things, and strength in health. "Beloved, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well." Elder Gaius, who walked in the truth, was a disciple of Christ with the image of one worthy to be called “Beloved,” and used the language of the gospel. The Apostle John’s record of Elder Gaius, Demetrius the witness of the truth, and Diotrephes the hinderer of the gospel was intended to show that the outcome of the walk of faith depends on whether we crush the serpent’s head in the name of Jesus Christ who came to destroy the devil's work. Elder Gaius walked in th...
