GOD’S VIRTUOUS WIFEPART 1

• In the previous sermon I ministered about us being God’s bride.

• In this sermon I want to minister about us as the virtuous wife of God.

• First let’s look at key’s points of the first sermon.

The Sons, the body and the bride:• Important to know if you cannot recognize yourself as God’s son

then you won’t be able to understand your importance as a member of the body of Christ.

• This is one of the main reasons why God could not have an equal helper bride in times past.

• Before God could have you as His bride He needed a body in Christ.

• For God to have a body, He needed many sons not only a Son. Not an only begotten Son, but many begotten Sons.

The Sons, the body and the bride:• Rom 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be

conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

• 1Co 12:12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

The Sons, the body and the bride:• Christ must not only be preached as a singular member. Because

Christ is many membered.

• You can only recognize God as your husband if you can recognize Him as your maker/Dad.

• Isa 54:5 For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.

The Sons, the body and the bride:• God chose to form His equal helper (Cimi) in day seven(7th

thousand year) that’s the reason why day seven was set apart from the other days because from within His rest He formed His equal helper.

• Gen 2:1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

• Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made. And He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.

• Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He had rested from all His work which God created to make.

• You can only be effective from within His rest as His equal helper.

• God could only give the first Adam his equal helper after He formed her from his body in day seven.

• Gen 2:21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

• Gen 2:22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

The Sons, the body and the bride:• The same applies to God he formed His equal helper out of

the second Adam (Christ in man) in day seven.

• God could only sanctify His body the church through the word of truth; the in Christ gospel.

• Hebrews 10:10 By this will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

The Sons, the body and the bride:• Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved

the church and gave Himself for her(the sacrifice), • Eph 5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the

washing of water by the word (Preaching the in Christ message),

• Eph 5:27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

The Sons, the body and the bride:• Our sanctification as a body came by the accurate preaching

of the proceeding word.

• This is the reason God decided to make a covenant with this body (Cimi) to be His wife.

• It is very important to know the most powerful thing we enjoy as a body/wife is the covenant.

• God decided to make know His covenant through us in day three and seven, because we are His bride.

• God wanted a virtuous wife by way of His covenant to give us the mind of Christ.

• A wife with His way of thinking and doing. This is the reason for a covenant to equip us to protect and support our Husband’s purpose and dream.

• The covenant of God helps you to renew your mind, to think speak and act as a god kind in all areas of your life. To be a representative of His kingdom.

God’s Covenant.

God’s covenant:• Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He

does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," [who is Christ.

• Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.

• Gen 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

God’s covenant:• God’s promise was made to Abraham by His covenant.

• Neels also gave Xandre a prophetic word about Him as the antitype of Abraham, because Xandre had to sacrifice the beloved first born son of the church by preaching the distinction between Jesus(13) and Jesus Christ (14) this served and still serves as the circumcision.

• The age old covenant could only be made visible through Cimi (God’s wife giving birth to His seed , the promise).

God’s covenant: Sarai and Sarah

• Lets have a look at the life story of Sarai that was renamed by God to get a better understanding of the importance of the covenant.

• Sarai got a new name Sarah, this is very important with regards to the season we find ourselves in today.

• Sarai had to chase away the bondwoman and her Son. (Genesis 16) She also had to have faith in God’s word and covenant towards her husband and herself..(Genesis 17)

• This is a spiritual truth we (Cimi) also have to apply to our life.

God’s covenant: Sarai and Sarah• Sarai cannot give birth to Isaac. Only a Sarah.

• Let’s read Genesis 17.

God’s covenant: Sarai and Sarah• Gen 17:15 Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your

wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

• Gen 17:16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her."

God’s covenant: Sarai and Sarah• saray• BDB Definition:• Sarai = “princess”• 1) original name of Sarah the wife of Abram or Abraham

• sarah• BDB Definition:• Sarah = “noblewoman”• 1) wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac

God’s covenant: Sarai and Sarah• Why is this important to understand??

• Definition of the word noble:

1. Belonging to rank or birth= Titled, well born

2. Having and showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles= Righteous, virtuous, noble-minded, anti corruption..

• We are the antitype the Sarah the virtuous wife..

God’s covenant: Sarai and Sarah• G16:• agathopoiia• ag-ath-op-oy-ee'-ah• From G17; well-doing, that is, virtue: - well-doing.

• The wife gives birth to the seed.

• Cimi manifesting Christ..

God’s covenant: • A covenant consists of commandments and laws, to empower

God’s wife for God’s purpose on earth.

• When a bride gets married to her bridegroom they cut a covenant.

• Same with God and us.

God’s covenant:• The purpose of the covenant is to enable an individual to come

to know God’s desires and will for this earth.

• It is an agreement between two parties for a common purpose.

• God’s purpose with man is to fill the earth with His glory (view, judgment, opinion).

• God needs our will to become one with His will.

• Mat 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

God’s covenant:• Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no

pleasure. • Heb 10:7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come-- In the volume of

the book it is written of Me-- To do Your will, O God.' " • Heb 10:8 Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt

offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law),

• Heb 10:9 then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.“ He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

• Heb 10:10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

God’s covenant:• God never wanted us to stand still at the sacrifice he

wanted us to accept the sacrifice and move on into His will and wishes.

• Without the church accepting and acknowledging the sacrifice, it is impossible for them to move in His will and wishes.

• This Christ covenant announces God decided to take away the first (Offerings and sacrifices) so he may establish the second. (A church/wife doing His will).

God’s covenant:• Because of the sound doctrine that has been preached to

you, you were sanctified as God’s bride and He decided to marry you.

• You have been set apart to do your husbands will.

• Jesus Christ, God’s first wife, had the same covenant and understood its purpose.

God’s covenant:• Joh 7:14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into

the temple and taught. • Joh 7:15 And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man

know letters, having never studied?" • Joh 7:16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not

Mine, but His who sent Me. • Joh 7:17 If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know

concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

• Joh 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

God’s covenant:• God’s desire is towards a virtuous wife that will manifest His glory (view,

judgment, opinion) this can only happen when we are willing to do His will in all areas of our life.

• To be able to move in His will and wishes we need to be intimate with our husband by spending time with Him in prayer and to come to know His covenant.

• Isa 56:7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."

God’s covenant:• We must understand the covenant of God establishes us as His

sanctified wife within this earth.

• Sanctify = hagiazo

• Thayer Definition:• 1) to render or acknowledge, or to be venerable or hallow• 2) to separate from profane things and dedicate to God• 2a) consecrate things to God• 2b) dedicate people to God• 3) to purify• 3a) to cleanse externally• 3b) to purify by expiation: free from the guilt of sin• 3c) to purify internally by renewing of the soul

God’s covenant:• Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of

God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

• Rom 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

• Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

• Rom 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function.

God’s covenant:• God’s covenant gives His wife:• Authoritative precepts (commandments) and a better way of living, through

His moral instruction especially the precept concerning love (law).

• 1Jn 4:17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. (This is God’s will)

• In this verse we clearly see what the purpose of the law and commands are.

God’s covenant:

Joh 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My

Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."

God’s New Covenant

Laws:

• It is important to understand when I am referring to law I do not mean the Old testament’s law’s and commandments.

• I am referring to the laws of the new covenant.

• This being the law of love, faith, spirit and life, freedom and the law of Christ.

TO GIVE A LAW. TO BE TAKEN TO LAW:

• There are two different meanings for the word law. Let look at an example:

• Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws (G3551) in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

• 1Co 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law (G2919) before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

TO GIVE A LAW. TO BE TAKEN TO LAW:• God wanted to take us to law (G2919) to give us His laws (G3551) in our

hearts.

• This is very important for us to understand, it brings a clear understanding of being a bride and being a wife.

• Bride = a woman on her wedding day. (Receiving)• Wife = a woman married to a spouse. (Implementing)

• Let’s start with the word law (G2919)

TO BE TAKEN TO LAW: G2919• krino• Thayer Definition:• 1) to separate, put asunder, to pick out, select, choose• 2) to approve, esteem, to prefer• 3) to be of opinion, deem, think, to be of opinion• 4) to determine, resolve, decree• 5) to judge• 5a) to pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong

– 5a1) to be judged, i.e. summoned to trial that one’s case may be examined and judgment passed upon it

• 5b) to pronounce judgment, to subject to censure– 5b1) of those who act the part of judges or arbiters in matters of common life, or pass judgment

on the deeds and words of others• 6) to rule, govern• 6a) to preside over with the power of giving judicial decisions, because it was the

prerogative of kings and rulers to pass judgment• 7) to contend together, of warriors and combatants• 7a) to dispute

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:• God choose to separate us from religion unto Him. He chose us

not only to be His bride but His wife, we are carriers of His approval, he wanted to content with us as warriors and combatants because of His glory (His opinion, view and judgment)..

• It’s very important to know that before God could content together with his wife as a warrior and combatant, he needed to equip her with His, authoritative precepts (commandments) and a better way of living, through His moral instruction especially the precept concerning love (laws G3551).

• That is why he needed to write His laws on our hearts. Let have a look at the word law (G3551).

TO GIVE A LAW: G3551• nomos• Thayer Definition:• 1) anything established, anything received by usage, a custom, a law, a

command• 1a) of any law whatsoever

– 1a1) a law or rule producing a state approved of God• 1a1a) by the observance of which is approved of God

– 1a2) a precept or injunction– 1a3) the rule of action prescribed by reason

• 1b) of the Mosaic law, and referring, acc. to the context. either to the volume of the law or to its contents

• 1c) the Christian religion: the law demanding faith, the moral instruction given by Christ, especially the precept concerning love

• 1d) the name of the more important part (the Pentateuch), is put for the entire collection of the sacred books of the OT

• Col 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

• Religious doctrines are focused on the traditions of men and basic principles of the world, making sure the church stays in bondage. This is not God’s will.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• The church is trapped in ignorance because of religious teachings this causes them to be lawless (being without a law or unruly), their minds are blinded, and not unveiled.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• 2Co 3:11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

• 2Co 3:12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech--

• 2Co 3:13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.

• 2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• Religions chooses to be in the power of darkness, a democracy (unruly, without a King and Lord) instead of the kingdom (rules, with a King and Lord).

• Without rules you cannot rule on this earth as a king and a lord.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:• A virtuous wife (you) must understand God’s house, God’s rules.

• A house divided cannot stand.

• Definition of rule: mashal have, make to have dominion, governor, have power.

• The reason the church had no power was because they did not adhere to God’s rules.

• God’s new covenant laws in the heart of His wife always protect His purpose.

• Religion is lawless, they are only interested in their own purpose, that’s why democracy rules in the modern day church. Religion puts a veil on the face of Israel, because their doctrine has no substance and is passing away.

• Their minds are blinded because they left the sound doctrine of Christ in man. They are futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts are darkened. Professing to be wise, they are fools, because they are changing the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• God needed a virtuous wife to protect His dream and desires; thus the reason for the new covenant laws in her heart.

• His purpose is clear with mankind. To fill the earth with God’s view, God’s judgment and God’s opinion. Not man’s view, man’s judgment and man’s opinion.

• God needs mankind to be a God kind. This can only happen when mankind has the mind of Christ. To have the mind you need God’s way.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• Only the sound doctrine of Christ in man will remove the veil and enlighten the eyes of understanding of the church.

• The church was trapped in darkness/ignorance because of the veil that was not removed. Thus a people perishing because of a lack of knowledge.

• It is sad to think most churches cannot accept the sacrifice and believe they are once saved always saved.

• This believe, serves as a veil.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• Heb 10:17 Then he adds, "I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more."

• Heb 10:18 Where there is forgiveness of these (sins and lawless deeds), there is no longer any offering for sin.

• The reason why the church can’t let go of the sacrifice (Jesus 13th) is because they don’t believe their sins and lawless deeds are forgiven.

• God did not desire a lawless bride one trapped in ignorance of her true identity. He wanted her to be enlightened in truth through His covenant and be established as His wife.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• God gave us the new covenant laws to equip us as His wife with the necessary powers to administer His heart on this earth.

• God wanted to enlighten our eyes of understanding by establishing us in the new covenants laws.

- Law of love Mar 12:30- Law of faith Rom 3:27- Law of Spirit and life Rom 8:2- Law of Liberty Jam 1:25- Law of Christ Gal 6:2

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

• Heb 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah--

• Heb 8:9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.

• Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

• Psa 19:8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:

• God took away our lawlessness by giving us the covenant to empower us in our true identity. By removing the veil, God could clothe us with a new garment and robe.

• Isa 61:10 We can greatly rejoice in the Lord, Our souls shall be joyful in our God; For He has clothed us (Cimi) with the garments of salvation, He has covered us with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

GOD’S NEW COVENANT LAWS:
