The Daily Word of Righteousness

Revelation 10:8,9, continued

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: (Hebrews 8:10)

We need to hear from God. We need to know what is written in the little scroll. But in order to hear from God we need to stir ourselves and blow the trumpet in God's ear. We need to let God know we care what it is He wants and that we are not going to be satisfied just going about our business without His guidance.

If you keep on seeking God He will be found of you and will show you His plan for you, by one means or another. Just don't quit. Keep at it. God wants to know if you mean business.

So John went to the angel. He asked for the little scroll.

The angel told John to "Take it and eat it up."

It is time today to eat the Word. There is a big difference between having Christ in your head and having Christ in your heart. It is a good thing to understand doctrine. But there are people, and you have met many I am sure, who have Christ in their head but not in their heart. They could talk the leg off a horse about religious things but there is no love of God in them.

The angel didn't tell John to read the scroll but to eat the scroll!

Have you eaten the scroll or just read it? You have to get Christ and the will of God down into your heart. You have to read the Word and then ask God to make it part of you, to birth it in you, form it in you, work it in you.

Christ is the Word made flesh. You are the flesh being made the Word. This is what the new covenant is.

We carry a book around and call it the New Testament. It is not the new covenant or the new testament. Rather it is the testimony of men who were becoming the new covenant. The old covenant can be written on stone, paper, or parchment. But the new covenant can be written only in the mind and heart of the saints.

The victorious saints are the new covenant of God to be made with the nations of the earth. It is in us that people should see the will of God in Christ, they should see the Word of God wrought in human flesh.

If you have Christ in you, you have the Covenant of God in you. The body and blood of Christ are the new covenant. When you eat the flesh of Christ and drink the blood of Christ you are taking the covenant into yourself. Then you will begin to reveal God's Person, will, way, and eternal purpose in Christ. You will reveal all this in your personality. You will be one of the Lord's witnesses to the peoples of the earth. This is your role in life if you are a member of the royal priesthood, the elect of God.

To be continued.
