BREATHE ON ME, BREATH OF GOD - by Edwin Hatch (1835-1889)
                                   Public Domain


           Breathe on me, Breath of God,
           Fill me with life anew,
           That I may love what Thou dost love,
           And do what Thou wouldst do.

           Breathe on me, Breath of God,
           Until my heart is pure,
           Until my will is one with Thine,
           To do and to endure.

           Breathe on me, Breath of God,
           Till I am wholly Thine,
           Until this earthly part of me
           Glows with Thy fire divine.

           Breathe on me, Breath of God,
           So shall I never die,
           But live with Thee the perfect life
           Of Thine eternity.

                           Amen.

          Our Father, who art in heaven,
            hallowed be thy Name,
            thy kingdom come,
            thy will be done,
              on earth as it is in heaven.
          Give us this day our daily bread.
          And forgive us our trespasses,
            as we forgive those who trespass against us.
          And lead us not into temptation,
            but deliver us from evil.
          For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
            for ever and ever. Amen.

         "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
          will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their
          trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! - by Bishop Reginald Heber, 1827 - Public Domain


        Holy, holy, holy!
        Lord God Almighty!
        Early in the morning
        Our song shall rise to Thee!
        Holy, holy holy!
        Merciful and mighty!
        God in Three Persons,
        Blessed Trinity!

        Holy, holy, holy!
        All the saints adore Thee!
        Casting down their golden crowns
        Around the glassy sea;
        Cherubim and seraphim
        Falling down before Thee,
        Who wert, and art, and
        Evermore shalt be.

        Holy, holy, holy!
        Though the darkness hide Thee!
        Though the eye of sinful man
        Thy glory may not see;
        Only Thou art holy!
        There is none beside Thee,
        Perfect in pow'r in
        Love, and purity.

        Holy, holy, holy!
        Lord God Almighty!
        All Thy works shall praise Thy name,
        In earth, and sky, and sea;
        Holy, holy holy!
        Merciful and mighty!
        God in Three Persons,
        Blessed Trinity!

              Amen.


Scriptures And Teachings

The Old Covenant Is Transformed Into The New
And the New Covenant is this: accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour; and follow the Golden Rule, which now embodies all of God's law for mankind.

The Old Covenant, expressed in the Bible's Old Testament, provided strict rules for behavior, plus instructions for making sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins.

The Old Covenant has now passed away, and the New Covenant has taken it's place. The New Covenant is expressed in the Bible's New Testament. The book of Hebrews explains this transformation in detail. Perhaps the best summary of this process is found in these verses below . . .

[6] But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more 
excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it 
is enacted on better promises. 

[7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been 
no occasion for a second. 

[8] For he finds fault with them when he says: "The days will come, says 
the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah;

[9] not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
for they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord.

[10] This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.

[11] And they shall not teach every one his fellow
or every one his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,'
for all shall know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.

[12] For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins no more."

[13] In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And 
what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. 

           Hebrews 8:6-13 (RSV)



Under the New Covenant, all of God's law is now fulfilled by following the Golden Rule, Matthew 7:12.

         _____________________________________________________________
       
      "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
       you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
       (Matthew 7:12 KJV)
         _____________________________________________________________
       


And all of the sacrifices required by the Old Covenant have now been paid by Jesus Christ, so we do not need to make the sacrifices ourselves, if we accept Him as our Lord and Saviour.

The Old Covenant was for God's chosen people, Israel. It was not exportable to other people in other cultures and times. But the New Covenant is exportable, suitable to all people everywhere, throughout time.

And the New Covenant is this: accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour; and follow the Golden Rule, which now embodies all of God's law for mankind.

May the Lord bless this presentation of His holy Word.

Prayer For You

Casting Out

MP3 Audio File at http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/castingout.mp3
Reading by Rev. Bill McGinnis, Free, Public Domain.



HOW TO USE THIS PRAYER:

   First, please read the prayer quickly, scanning it to see if you
   want this prayer said for you or not.  If you do want it said for
   you, then come back and read it again, at the speed of a speaking 
   voice.
   
   As you read, try to hear my voice actually saying this prayer for
   you. Perhaps you should first say your own prayer, something like 
   this:
   "Lord, please hear this prayer for me. Amen." Then read my
   prayer.  You may repeat this process whenever you want.


NOTE: You should use this prayer only if you are prepared for evil
      spirits to be cast out from you, and for the Lord to be
      invited in, to stay. If evil spirits are cast out and the Lord
      is not in you, then the evil spirits may return, worse than
      before.

Casting Out

O Foul and Evil Spirits, hear my voice!
Know ye that I am working for the Lord!
You may no longer dwell within this house.
The Lord is coming here, you cannot stay.
His holy brightness blinds you with its light.
His mighty hand will cast you far away.
So now, be gone and never do return!
I plead the blood of Jesus; now be gone!
The holy blood of Jesus; now be gone!

The fragrant breath of springtime fills the air.
The house is empty of unwanted guests.

O Lord, I pray that you will enter now.
I pray that you will always dwell within.

In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Benediction

As we complete our worship service today, I leave you with this blessing . . .

       EPHESIANS 3:14-21 (KJV)
       
       
        14
               For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
               Jesus Christ,
        15
               Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
        16
               That he would grant you, according to the riches of his
               glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the
               inner man;
        17
               That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,
               being rooted and grounded in love,
        18
               May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the
               breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
        19
               And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
               that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
        20
               Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above
               all that we ask or think, according to the power that
               worketh in us,
        21
               Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout
               all ages, world without end. Amen.

                                     <><
