Hebrews 49:1-12 Genesis 12:1-3 Jeremiah 33:20


• The number one reason that things don’t happen in your life - You are not mixing the things you hear with faith

• The challenge you have as a Believer is to believe – It is the job description of a Believer

• Where your responsibility lies - Is where the challenge is

• Peace is rest – When you have peace, you have rest

• Rest is freedom from outside disturbances

• Sleeping does not bring rest until you have solved all of the things that would challenge your peace

• God does not get tired – So if He rested on the seventh day - He was making a point

• God is saying “I’m doing something you need to do and I will set the example by doing it”

• Because of unbelief - You will not enter into rest

• You enter into rest when you cease from your own labor

• What is the rest that God has given to the Believer today?

• It is the walk of faith

• There is nothing that God has left for Human Beings that can be obtained without covenant

• The bible you read is called the Old Covenant and the New Covenant Testament

• The Old Covenant as a restrictive way to conduct life has been done away with

• But the provision, the information, and the history of the New Covenant is contained in the Old Covenant

• We don’t throw it away because it is our reference - It is what we use going forward



• In appreciation to the Man and Woman of God – We have to appreciate that they have a handle on the thing that is to cause us to

1. Believe
2. Enter into rest
3. Obtain the promises of God through covenant

• We are celebrating people that know the covenant

• There must always be a separation before entrance

• The assignment comes before the promises

• God wants to make you a blessing to someone – Before blessings come to you

• God enters into covenant as a way of establishing a semblance of order in the earth

• The covenant from God is heaven on earth

• God wants life for you on the earth to be like it is with Him in heaven

• Everything that God decrees to be important is sealed with a covenant

• You progress by understanding the covenant you have with God

• Covenant has provision

• It’s not all about what God is going to do

• It’s what you need to do
