The Covenant of My Peace
GENESIS 6:17-18
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. (The very water that is so essential for life was the same thing that God used to bring death to the Antediluvian world)
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant (Why did he establish a covenant with Noah and his group? what was the difference between Noah and his group and the rest of the world? It was to do with their respect to the word that had come through the prophet that God had sent for that hour); and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
(Notice how that it was a family affair of those who were believers in the message for that hour under their messenger Noah. This was the group that was taken out of the judgement of what was coming upon the earth – so we know that this history will repeat itself again in this end time age. That is why we must know the messenger of whom we are under in this day)
ISAIAH 54:7-10
7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. (Notice the nature of God in the contrast of small in judgement but great in mercies)
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
(There is a season of the rebuke of God in your life for your sin, but then after that has passed, then there is only God’s kindness and peace from that time on)
10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed (this is showing a world in turmoil under cataclysmic judgement. Noah’s world came to cataclysmic judgement, and this world is also heading toward another cataclysmic judgement, so there must be a people on earth now that God has established a covenant with as he had done with Noah and his group); but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
The Covenant of My Peace
*God is showing us by these scriptures that as believers of His word that he has sent in this hour by his messenger that he has sent, that He has placed upon our lives a covenant of His peace as he did with Noah and the people of his group that were under his message.
People try to draw peace from many different places – Bomb shelters – preppers, but they are not covenants of His peace. His peace is in His promised word for your day.
SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-22 SUNDAY_ 63-1110M
314 …mercy was sent to them by a prophet. They wouldn't believe it. God is merciful, but, He sent mercy but they wouldn't receive it. He always sends mercy, first.
315 What if they would've knowed that sign was the end-time sign? And when they seen, all at once, salvation let up. Nobody, see. Just, the first thing you know, the door was closed. If they... There was only one person knowed that sign, that was Noah and his group. That was the only one knowed.

138 That's--was in Noah's time. When Noah and his group... see how... When they saw the Message, nothing else mattered. When Moses' group saw It, nothing else mattered. When John's group saw It, nothing else mattered. When Jesus' group saw It, nothing else mattered. When the apostles' group saw It, nothing else mattered. When Luther's group saw It, Wesley's group saw It, Pentecostal group saw It, nothing else mattered, they pulled away from everything. Why? By His foreknowledge He predestinated these things to happen. He chooses His own person by His foreknowledge.
*We have all had our rebukes and our chastisements from God in life, but there is one thing that remains and will forever remain, and that is this covenant of His peace that God has established upon our lives by the power of His sacrifice at Calvary that has come down to this hour by the word of truth that we have received in this day by a vindicated prophet of God.
*As believers of His word in this hour that has come to us through the message, we are supernaturally under the power of that covenant at this time, because the word revealed for this day directly connects us to the sacrifice of the blood that was shed for our full redemption at Calvary – this message is the voice of that blood that has spoken in this day, and when you take the truth of this hour into your hearts by faith, then that is the same spirit that was released by that blood of Christ that is now coming back upon you in this day by the spirit of the word – the message has taught us these things.
**There is a Hebrew word “shalam” {shaw-lam'} which is used extensively throughout the Old Testament, and it means to be in a covenant of peace with someone of whom you had fallen out with over something – maybe they had stolen one of your cows, and this had caused a situation where peace had left your relationship with this person, so to be able to enter back into a covenant of peace, it would be required to make whole/good, to restore, and to make compensation.
*So this is what the work that Christ did on the cross for the human race in order to make whole what was forfeited by the first Adam. Christ paid the full price to make good the error and the penalty of sin that had come in between God and man – so God became a man himself so that he could pay the penalty of sin for mankind and bridge the gap to re-establish peace between God and man again, and this covenant of peace that God has re-established is not a temporal covenant, but an everlasting covenant that is established for eternaty.
THE.WORKING.OF.THE.HOLY.SPIRIT_ PRINCE.ALBERT.SK THURSDAY_ 56-0816
E-36 And He writes the covenant... In the Old Testament back in the holiest of holies, the commandments was wrote on tables of stone. But He said, "After these days that I will pour out My Spirit, and I'll write My covenant upon the tables of their heart, and in their mind." Amen. You see It?
Then God, by the Holy Spirit, confessed faith in Christ, brings the Holy Spirit that writes the covenant of peace across your heart. Then the Spirit that was in Christ dwells in you, and It makes you act the Christlike life. And in there, God has placed in this group of people, which is called his Body: apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors.
**We know that God has been enacting out His great plan of redemption since the fall in the Garden of Eden, and He could have told us everything about it in the first few chapters of the bible, but He spreads it out and scattered it little by little all throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation – in other words He sealed the picture of it up in different portions of scripture.
*He tells us first in Genesis 3:15 to look out for this coming redeemer that will bruise the head of the serpent. Then in Isaiah He tells us that He is coming through mankind (a virgin shall conceive), then He tells us that out of all the nations this redeemer is going to come through Israel, then He tells us somewhere else that it will be out of one of the twelve tribes and that it is going to be through the tribe of Judah, and then out of all the cities in Judah it is going to be out of Bethlehem, and out of all the families in Bethlehem is going to be through the family of Jesse of which He will be the son of David – and so He scatters all this information in small parts of prophecy all over the Old Testament in a way that is very hard to put it all together clearly to form a clear picture, especially if you don’t know what the picture is.
**So God could have written it all together in a narrative type way and made it clear in just a few chapters, but He spreads His mystery plan of redemption all throughout the bible in a way that not even the Devil with all of his smarts can put it together and understand it correctly, and God does this in order to hide his plan from the devil so that His plan won’t be thwarted.
Only God knows how it all fits together, and therefore only He can then reveal it to His children.
**And so when you look at the book of Revelation, it is written in the same way - it can be very confusing, and all the other books of the bible are written in the same way, and this is how he sealed it with seven seals by the way he wrote it – and so the bible also sealed up God’s true character of what His nature really was.
*And so God has written the bible like this to throw a lot of people off the real truth of them seeing Him of what His real character really is.
***So this is why that many people have the wrong concept of God because it is so easy to read the bible and to connect things together in a way that you come up with a God of judgement and wrath who you may think seems to enjoy punishing people and seeing them suffer – but that is a completely wrong concept of God, and so you cannot love someone from your heart that has a character with those types of attributes.
**That is why many people hate God; it is because of the character that they have formed of him in their minds.
**Why do people love the Devil and hate God? - It is because of their deceived minds of the false information that they have received and their lack of the knowledge of the truth.
PSALM 25:12-14
12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. (God has an ordained chosen pathway for each of us to walk in life, and He has ordained to teach you by the lessons and trials that he has planed for you along that pathway that he will lead you in)
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him (The mystery of God revealed to the individual is what brings you into respect towards God); and he will shew them his covenant.
**So if you have respect for God and for His word for this hour, then God will lead you in a pathway that he has chosen for your life to bring you into a place where He can fully reveal himself to you, and this may take Him years of working with you in the pathway that he will lead you through in life, because the real purpose of God for your life is to cause you to see His real character of who he really is.
**Almost every good writer of novels first begin their storied with setting out the characters of the story at the beginning – and then they develop that character throughout the narrative, and as the story goes along, they can make you love or hate a character simply by describing and developing the personality of the character in the words and actions of the character so that you become emotionally entangled with the character.
**And that is how God is able to bring you into a true relationship with Himself over time by revealing to you little by little His true nature and character throughout your life, slowly letting out more and more of His great purpose and plan of redemption.
JEREMIAH 29:10-11
10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
This word “expected” end, means – the things that you hoped for, the outcome of what you have desired all along in your life’s journey – it is God that has put that expected end in you from the beginning.
Joseph was brought though all of his trials to an expected end. Ruth was brought through all of her trials to an expected end.
*And so will you and I also come through all of our trials to an expected end of the peace and contentment that we have desire all our lives.
*God has placed a desire deep within the heart of man for peace and joy and fulfilment and fellowship and prosperity and good times – man wasn’t designed for his end to be that of suffering and hardship, that is only necessary for a short season of your life in order for you to be able to appreciate the contrast of the eternal blessings that God has in store for those that love Him.
ISAIAH 65:21-25
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
That is why as believers of the message we are able to see Lucifer’s plan for this end time hour just as we can see God’s plan also.
And so just like how God had a three-fold purpose, Lucifer also has his three-fold purpose, because he wanted to be just like God.
ISAIAH 14:12-17
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
What was Satan’s three fold purpose?
1- He wanted to be acknowledge as god, 2 – He wanted a bride (like God) that he could have the preeminences in, and the World council of churches will be his bride, and 3 - the earth, rearranged and designed with all its science and all its pleasures and different things, will be his Eden on earth.
Satan and Satan’s Bride, Mr and Mrs Lucifer (married to him by her receiving his false word lies) living together in Satan’s Eden – that was his purpose that he had purposed to achieve in this day.
*And then He (Lucifer) will be the tree in the midst of his Satan’s Eden garden, so that all the inhabitants of his garden will be eating from him who is the source of all lies and death.
BROKEN.CISTERNS_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-13 SUNDAY_ 64-0726E
122 They say today, by joining these things and by making this World Council of Churches, that they're going to make a better place to live in. To my honest opinion, they're going to make a better place to sin in. That's just... The whole thing is sin, anyhow; not to live in, but to die in. Make its place to sin in--sin in, instead of live in.
123 Any other thing, outside of Jesus Christ and His Word of Life, is a broken cistern. Anything that tries to substitute It; anything that you try to do to bring you peace, anything that you try to do to bring you comfort, any kind of a joy that you receive from anything else, as a substitute for This, it's a broken cistern full of filth. He gives perfect satisfaction.
Look at the contrast of the completion of Satan’s Eden in contrast to what God’s Eden will be in the millennium and in the new heaven and the new earth.
THE.GOD.OF.THIS.EVIL.AGE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-9 SUNDAY_ 65-0801M
89 Now let's watch it be manifested. He says he is making a better world for them to live in, by his knowledge apart from the never-failing Word of God. But by his coming together, in denominations, and creeds, and intellectual, and scientific, and so forth, he is making a better world for man to live in, and ignoring the promise of God, that the only time the world will be fit to live in is in the Millennium. You know, my opinion, he's made a better world to sin in instead of live in.
90 Notice. Did he do it? He legalized sin. He legalized whiskey drinking, cigarette smoking. And in the churches, legalized that a woman could be a member of the church, with short hair. Now may you stop just a minute.
91 She can wear shorts, wear paints, and still belong to his religious group, which is absolutely contrary to the Word of God. He says it's all right. See his knowledge? "What's that got to do with a woman?" Just the same as taking the forbidden fruit, or not the forbidden fruit, that's what it is. God said not to do it, but he does it.
92 And she believes him, and she loves him for it. She hates God. Her own actions prove she does. She says she loves Him, but she loves Satan. She worships the god of fashion, the god of the world, the Hollywood goddesses. She loves him, but she hates the true Word of God, which is the only true God there is.
**The true Word of God is the only true God there is.
When you as an individual receive that true word of God for this day, then that is a very unique thing in the eyes of God, that puts you in a specific group of believers, and nothing else should matter to you – and this relationship that you have with God in the light of the truth of this hour is what established this covenant of peace between you and God.
And so God’s covenant of peace concerning you in this hour is His assurance to you that he will fulfil the promise of His word and take you out above the judgement of what is coming upon this world just the same as it was in Noah’s day.
**This is the covenant of His peace that he has given us in this day just as Ruth entered into a rest upon Boaz’s word that was revealed to her at the midnight hour, this is the same promise that we have received in this hour.
**His covenant of His peace is His word of promise to you by the message that he has sent to you for this hour. We are to hold fast to that word of truth of what God has called you to stand for in this day.

138 … When Noah and his group... see how... When they saw the Message, nothing else mattered. When Moses' group saw It, nothing else mattered. When John's group saw It, nothing else mattered. When Jesus' group saw It, nothing else mattered. When the apostles' group saw It, nothing else mattered. When Luther's group saw It, Wesley's group saw It, Pentecostal group saw It, nothing else mattered, they pulled away from everything.
**All the upsets in the message don’t matter, all the disappointments don’t matter, all the troubles in the message don’t matter, – what matters is that you have seen your day and its message, because that is the evidence of the covenant of His peace that is resting upon your life. The Covenant of My Peace that shall never be removed.
