In this place,
The river of the decent.
Is where I died
And my old self washed away.
Where You dipped in and arose -
Is where I find my life anew.
And your love fresh,
For me.
I look up and see Your face,
Hear the Father's loving voice.
They're smiling down on me.
In these waters
My sin stains washed away
In a flow of blood and water,
Of the thorns and nails and
Spear that pierced His side.
My Savoir
that came down for me.
This is where i find grace like a river
decending down to me.
Carries me on His shoulders...
Into the land of rest
I enter in.

The Mind: His jurisdiction in the new covenant...
Among the witnesses and convictions of the Holy Spirit in the new covenant is this much missed one lying in Hebrews 10:
Verse 15, 16 : But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, This is the covenant that I shall make with them after those days says the Lord: I will put My laws in their hearts and in their mind i will write them.
One of the convictions that He comes to deliver to us believers is that He is constantly directing Our hearts and minds. It is a Covenant responsibility on His part on which we rest in His power to 1. give us confidence and establish our hearts that He is the one who constantly renews our hearts and not we ourselves, thus allowing us to turn to Him and recive rest about our minds; and 2. give us Spirit inspired thoughts day to day.
paul says He witnesses to us that He puts laws in our hearts. i can see why the spirit would want to witness to us that He is in charge of our hearts and minds. because we are so prone to taking that upon ourselves. even paul is in need of the spirit to tell him: hey now, im in charge of this. rest and receive my guidance.
i'm beliveing that this mental rest and confidence will grow stronger with prolonged turning to the Spirit and a contant waiting on Him to make this very witness; a major part of what the Spirit comes to tell us (because if you notice there aren't many holy spirit witnesses in the NT probably no less than 10).. and if this is one of the major witnesses; we can trust Him to give us this assurance that he is in charge of our minds and then receive the divine guidance in day to day living instead of relying on our fleshly minds from day to day...
Isa 30:20, 21 yet your teachers shall not be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.
Father, we thank You for this witness of the Spirit. Spirit we ask that You be the one to strengthen Your witness to us that You are the one in charge ofour hearts and minds and no;t we ;ourselves and so bring us into Your land of rest in this area.
We ask and receive divine guidance in the day to day of our lives. divine thoughts who knows what wonderful things You will show us... it Is Your very covenant with us. Make Youir teaching and guidance primary no more secondary, no more sidelined, we live by Your covenant, we live by Your rhema to us. we receive it in Jesus name, amen.

Victory is our covenant position in Christ
Our enemies will never triumph over us...
The Father had His Son take the beatings, oppression and place of defeat on the cross for covenant reasons for us.
The Father then raised HIm up and gave Him all victory. and the same Victory manifests outward through the substance of Jesus' very presence within us.
Because Jesus agreed to take our place, we can take His place.
We, in Christ, as we take our covenant position in Christ possess that same victory.
2Co 2:14 Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Jesus' very righteousness kept Him perfectly sound, safe, protected, and oppression free. His Righteousness given to us, as a grace gift. when Received by us confers the same Victory unto us
Isa 54:14, 15 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
Isaish spoke of a new covenant righteousness only possibly given and received when Jesus Died on the cross to transfer it. The new covenant allows no space for defeat.
I heard Him say this: "I had given one Son up to be bullied so that you (the rest of His sons) would never be bullied."

If you could see...
If you could see with eyes of the spirit
You would see glory all around.
Clothed in Robes of righteousness,
See the full glory of Christ shining within.
The Father preparing a mighty blessing
to pour out on you and I.
If you could see through His eyes - in your heart
You would see the colours of His love for us.
Surrounding, turning about us,
You would see us as most blessed.
See the healing that had already begun,
The flowers blooming in full glory
In the strength of the seed that had been sown.
If you could see with spirit eyes behold
Our Mighty God and angels waging mighty battle;
for our mighty victory.
With spirit eyes see and eat at the table of fellowship
Of the Father the Son and Holy Spirit.
In pleasure divine, eternal.
If you could see with eyes of faith,
You would see our futures safe and most blessed
In His hands.
You would see glory all around.
Clothed in Robes of righteousness,
See the full glory of Christ shining within.
