{"id":1895,"asset_id":2207,"title":"Life in the New Covenant, Part 22 Rick Joyner","alias":"life-in-the-new-covenant-part-22-rick-joyner","introtext":"<h3>Life in the New Covenant, Part 22 Rick Joyner<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src=\"https:\/\/prod.morningstarministries.org\/files\/glazed-builder\/word-for-the-week-banner-overlay_0_0.jpg?fid=13399\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"\" style=\"float: left;\" title=\"\" hspace=\"10\/\" \/>Biblical prophetic scenarios of the end of the age have much to say about the darkness growing darker and the light and the glory of the Lord becoming brighter. Which it will be for us is determined by us.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a biblical principle that we are as close to the Lord as we want to be. We\u2019re promised that if we seek Him, we will find Him, and if we draw close to Him, He will draw close to us. The choice of how close to Him we are will determine the light or the darkness in our life. We choose.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Daniel 2, when the little stone hits the feet of the statue that represents all of man\u2019s empires until the end of this age, the statue begins to crumble, but the stone grows into a mountain. Mountains represent governments in biblical prophetic symbolism, and this rock keeps growing until it becomes a mountain, or government. Then, it grows until it covers the whole earth. Is the realm we are living under crumbling or growing? This reveals which government we are living under.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To some degree, we are still living under the governments of this realm, but this will be less and less as they fall apart and lose control. If all we see are growing darkness and trauma, our attention is on the realm that is crumbling. When we\u2019re born again, we\u2019re given the ability to see the kingdom of God, which cannot be shaken and will always increase. If we\u2019re born again, then the light of this kingdom should be growing. If we\u2019re only seeing the darkness, we\u2019re not using the spiritual vision we were given to see His kingdom, and we have too much of our attention on the wrong realm.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/publications.morningstarministries.org\/word-for-the-week\/life-new-covenant-part-22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continue &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"8","created":"2024-06-04 20:32:29","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2024-06-04 20:32:29","modified_by":null,"checked_out":null,"checked_out_time":null,"publish_up":"2024-06-04 20:32:29","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":1,"ordering":null,"metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":null,"metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"1","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
