Kenneth E. Haggin shared many years ago that the secret to living long is to forgive fast and repent fast.
If we do not adopt that, it is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies first.

Hebrews 11:21
Verse 21: That's the only account of Jacob's entire life. Blessing your children is a great thing to God. To God, that's the greatest thing you did that day.

Hebrews 11:20-21
Verse 20: Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

No one can satisfy your heart with a thing. We are only satisfied by a person. Peace is always based on His finished work. Joy is based on keeping Jesus in your mind always.

There no such thing as a grace message. It is the real gospel. The real gospel is controversial. The gospel has come and Christ fulfilled all the laws. Under the law, it is full of judement. Why? Because Christ has not come. Judgment happens because of love.

Hebrews 12:14-29
Verse 14: This is the word of God. Once we are justified by faith, we have peace with God. This peace is peace with all people. This verse is talking about the revelation of God. We want this in our family. We want holiness so that we can have a fresh revelation of the Lord everyday.
Verse 15: When a root of bitterness springs up, the person goes around defiling many. He goes around blogging, sharing with others. When you read it, you are indulging the other person's bitterness.
Verse 16: "Fornicator" is referring to sexual scene outside marriage. In other words, Esau lived for his body.

Genesis 25:27-28
Verse 27: Esau is a man's man. Jacob is a mummy's man. One is very performance oriented. Esau is trying to gain his father's blessings. It is not the quantity of your actions, it is the quality of your actions.

Back to Hebrews 12:18-29,
Verse 20: This mountain is Mount Sinai, where the law was given. But in verse 18, it says we have not come to this mountain. God has moved mountains.
Verse 22: But we have come to Mount Zion. God is mentioned her for the first time. Angels are also mentioned. Plenty of angels, uncountable are mentioned here. Do you know when you step into a plane, angels follow you.

Law is all about demand. Mount Zion is where the holy spirit descended and the church was born. Grace is all about supply. Law demands righteousness. For law to be law, if it cannot find righteousness, it must curse. Grace suppliws to you what you need. Law demands perfect righteousness. God clothes you with His grace.

On Mount Sinai, God demands. On Mount Zion, God asks people who are heavy laden to come to Him and He will give them rest. This is grace.

Things you cannot see is more real than things you can see. In Corinthians, it says things yo can see is temporal and things you cannot see is eternal. One day you'll have a body that is forever. You have the healing, money. Just claim it. These are eternal.

At Mount Sinai, those who worshipped idols and they all died. Putting yourself under law don't make you holy.

Galatians 5:4
It's a terrible thing when Christ becomes of no effect. Why? If you're trying by your own efforts then this happens.

Back to Hebrews 12:22-29
Verse 23: Christ has been punished for our sins, so the Judge of All demands that we are perfect.
Verse 24: This blood speaks better things than that of Abel. The first murder is due to religion. God accepted Abel because he brought the blood of the lamb. So Cain became jealous. When Abel died, his blood called out vengeance on the murderer. But when Jesus' blood was shed, it speaks restoration, health, healing and wholeness. When they pierced Jesus side, the blood cleanses us.
Verse 25: See that we don't refuse Him. Anyone who rejects His grace, there is no more salvation for you. That is what Hebrews is all about.
Verse 26: Earth will be shaken when grace is proclaimed.
Verse 27: Things that cannot be shaken may remain.
Verse 28: Let us have grace. This is an active voice.
Verse 29: God will consume everything that is not grace.

In the book of Hebrews, Chapters 1 and 2 talks about angels. Chapter 3, God talks about Moses. Compares Christ and Moses. Christ is a servant. Moses is a son. Chapter 4 talks about the greater graces that came. Chapter 5 talks about Jesus is greater than Aaron. Chapter 6 talks about people who are Jewish people who turn their back on Jesus. Chapter 7 talks about the high priesthood of Jesus. It all begins with blessed. Chapter 11 talks about sonship. Chapter 12 talks about looking away from everything and look to Jesus.

In closing,

Wake up every morning with a supply minded mind. Any words taken out of context leaves the word "con" remaining.
