  1. 2 Corinthians 3:7  New King James Version (NKJV)
    But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious,
    so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
  2. 2 Corinthians 3:4-6  Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
    4 We can say this, because through Christ we feel sure before God.
    5 I don’t mean that we are able to do anything good ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do.
    6 He made us able to be servants of a new agreement from himself to his people.
    It is not an agreement of written laws, but it is of the Spirit.
    The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.
     
  3. 2 Corinthians 3:12-18  Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
    12 We are so sure of this hope that we can speak very openly.
    13 We are not like Moses, who put a covering over his face. He covered his face so that the people of Israel would not see it. The glory was disappearing, and Moses did not want them to see it end.
    14 But their minds were closed. And even today, when those people read the writings of the old agreement,
    [a] that same covering hides the meaning. That covering has not been removed for them. It is taken away only through Christ.
    15 Yes, even today, when they read the Law of Moses, there is a covering over their minds.
    16 But when someone changes and follows the Lord, that covering is taken away.
    17 The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
    18 And our faces are not covered. We all show the Lord’s glory, and we are being changed to be like him. This change in us brings more and more glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters, Power of Christ Daily 5th of August, 2015 titled Ministry of Death. Ministry of death. Oh, this is a serious word, ministry of death. I’ve taken it exactly from 2nd Corinthians 3, verse 4 to 6, but before
that, this is 1, 3, 7, 2nd Corinthians chapter 3, verse 7.

00:27 But if the ministry of death, that’s exactly the Bible, ministry of death. God calls it ministry of death. This is the Old Testament.

00:34 The Old Testament is based on laws, Moses laws and all. And God calls it ministry of death. Now, the New Testament is of course, ministry of life.

00:45 The Bible says if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stone was glorious, it was also glorious, pointed out sin, but people couldn’t get out. So the ministry of life was when Jesus came. When Jesus came.

00:58 Therefore, when I first came to the Lord, I was compelled in the Spirit. I didn’t know the Holy Spirit moving me to just focus on the New Testament, on Jesus Christ again and again. I’ll go and get this.

01:12 We have cassette tapes. We’ll buy the cassette tapes and keep on listening the New Testament on and on and on. I never went to the Old Testament purposely.

01:21 Off and on I may go and listen to some part of Genesis, but mainly 95% of the time will be New Testament. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ.

01:32 Jesus Christ. Because I knew in my spirit that’s where the power is. He came and said to me, come unto me and I shall give you rest.

01:40 That’s the word I heard. And that come unto me and I give you rest. Who are the soul settling for me? So peaceful peace came into my soul and therefore I was focusing on Jesus.

01:53 I’ll use the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus. I’ll begin to read what Jesus said. I began to hear what Jesus said.

01:59 Now, in the meantime, when I was going to church and all churches and also the rallies and campaigns, many times people will be talking about King David, they’ll be talking about Solomon, all that they’re talking about. Mainly many, many places
they’re talking about the Old Testament. And I used to wonder why.

02:18 Because yes, the Old Testament word of God is important. It shows the history. It also shows many times the character of God.

02:26 It tells how Jesus will come. Even all that is important. But when Jesus came, died and rose again, the big curtain and the temple was torn, big curtain was torn so that everybody now got access to Jesus Christ.

02:41 That is why in 2 Corinthians 3, 4, it we can say this because through Christ we feel sure. Before God, we feel sure. You cannot feel sure before God using the Old Testament.

02:54 You can only feel sure when Jesus died and rose again. And we receive him. When we receive him, accept him, confess our sins and say repentance.

03:03 And in our heart, we believe God washes it. Jesus washes it and directs it. It’s the New Testament.

03:10 So many times, this everywhere. Brothers and sisters, if you’re focusing on Old Testament, you’ll find that you do not experience the kind of power you must have. King David, yes, he was anointed by God, by the Holy Spirit, but his population, his
people under him, they were not.

03:28 They didn’t have the Holy Spirit, but you have the Holy Spirit. So focusing on King David, how he danced is not going to solve my problem. So I decided I better go and see what Jesus wants me to do.

03:42 So it was a New Testament. Now focusing on how the inner court, the outer court, how people went and all that. They’ll make big.

03:49 I’ve seen them make big miniature models and show how the inner court was the old outer court, the Jerusalem Temple, in my spirit was very clear. It’s not solving me. What is going to solve me? Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

04:03 Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Yes. I have to read the Old Testament for many things, but the solution for me is in Jesus Christ of Nazareth now, in the Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

04:14 That’s why he says in 2 Corinthians 3:12, we are so sure of this hope that we can speak openly. We are not like Moses, who put a covering over his face. He covered his face so the people of Israel would not see it.

04:27 The glory was disappearing. This is what 2 Corinthians 3:12 saying, the glory, Moses put a covering on his face and the glory was disappearing. So he put a covering on his face.

04:38 So he didn’t want the people, Moses did not want them to see it end. So since Moses didn’t. I’m quoting from Easy Read Version.

04:46 Moses didn’t want the people to see the glory disappearing and end, so he put a covering, a veil, and this veil, so people not looking at Moses covered with his veil. And 14 it says, Second Corinthians 3:14 it says, but their minds were closed. Even
today, when those people read the writings of the Old agreement, Old covenant, their minds were closed.

05:12 This is a very, very powerful statement, very alarming. 2nd Corinthians 3:14, but their minds were closed. And even today, when these people read the writings of the Old Covenant, Old agreement, that same covering hides the meaning that covering has
not been removed from them.

05:35 It is taken away Only through Christ. Yes, even today when they read the law of Moses, there is a covering over their minds. 16 second Corinthians 3:16.

05:47 But when someone changes and follows the Lord, that covering is taken away. When someone changes and follows the Lord, that covering is taken away. The Lord is the Spirit.

05:59 And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And our faces are not covered. These apostles are saying, our faces are not covered.

06:10 This Apostle Paul writing, our faces are not covered. We all show the Lord’s glory. We are being changed to be like him.

06:16 This change in us brings more and more glory which comes from the Lord, whose Spirit. Now, brothers and sisters, if you can grasp this, you will understand how important it is for you to focus on the New Testament. Be rooted in the New Testament.

06:31 God is telling us in 2 Corinthians 3 first of all, 2 Corinthians 3 7, it says it calls the Old Testament ministry of death. Now in 2 Corinthians 3:14 he says, but their minds were closed. And even today, when those people read the writings of the
old agreement world covenant, that same covering hides the meaning.

06:57 Meaning. So you can’t get the meaning, the true meaning of what Jesus came, what God is, the true meaning of God who loves you. You can’t get the meaning of God loving you.

07:07 That covering has not been removed. For them, it is taken away only through Christ. Yes, even today when they read the law of Moses, there’s a covering over their minds.

07:18 But when someone changes and follows the Lord, the covering is taken away. As we continue following the Lord, the covering is taken away. We follow the Lord.

07:26 Now, brothers and sisters, that is why I want to wonder, the many people who are focusing on the Old Testament, I don’t see a real dynamic change in their life. They are not walking with power. They are walking with legalism and captivity and fear
and confusion, and everything shakes them.

07:48 I see this and then I realize, hey, they have been focusing on the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, God calls it ministry of death. Of course it is glorious, God says.

08:00 But he also says, how much more glorious will be the New Testament, which is a testament of life in Christ. Now let us begin. First of all, brothers and sisters, yes, you need to read the Old Testament.

08:12 But first focus on the New Testament where life is given to you. Jesus Christ came, died on the cross, rose again to give you the glory of God inside you, to give you the faith of Jesus Christ inside you. A measure of faith is given to you to walk
in freedom.

08:29 And to be sure of this, to know that God loves you. And when you know for sure God loves you. You are bold.

08:37 So the covering, remember this scripture says, and the covering hides the meaning. So people keep on looking at the Old Testament, how King David danced, how the inner court, outer court. All that doesn’t help them.

08:48 What helps them is the name of Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus Christ. Receive the breath of Jesus Christ.

08:54 Begin to do the breath of Jesus Christ. You are set free. You cast out evil.

08:58 Mark 16 says, in the name of Jesus Christ, those who believe, they will cast out evil spirits, casting out spirit of anger, confusion, lustful thoughts. You can cast out, you can command to bring what is not into being, to call into being what is
not. You can command in the name of Jesus Christ to call into being.

09:17 They call into being of healing health. You are looking at future where the new Jerusalem is going to come and hover over the earth. This in Revelation.

09:30 It’s all in the New Testament. In the book of Revelation, God is saying, you will be co rulers. It’s a New Testament.

09:36 You will become co rulers with Christ. He is not ashamed to call you brethren because it is in the New Testament. He loves you.

09:44 And you will understand the meaning. When you continue to follow Jesus Christ, you begin to understand the meaning more and more. And you begin to be changed like him.

09:53 Verse 18, 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, we have been changed to be like him. So we begin to think about him, we begin to know about him, begin to call on his name. We begin to follow his precepts.

10:05 We want to become like him. So focus on the New Testament and be rooted, brothers and sisters, focus. Yes, you can read the Old Testament from time to time.

10:13 But if we continue just focusing on the Old Testament and about King David and on the Psalms and on the Proverbs. Yes, they are all precepts of Christ. But without the power of Jesus Christ, you cannot fulfill the precept that God has put in the
Proverbs.

10:29 For instance, Proverbs says, of course you should not lie, but people are lying until Jesus power comes and you cast away the spirit of all lies in Jesus name and receive the spirit of truth. And you walk in faith and you know you don’t have to lie
anymore. And you don’t lie anymore because Jesus is there who will settle your needs.

10:49 Seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first and your needs are settled. So the Old Testament, the Psalms. Oh, when you talk about the Psalms and say, I’ll walk through the valley of death.

11:00 Yes. Lean not on your own understanding. Yes, but we end up leaning on your own understanding why that Old Testament is a ministry of death.

11:12 You cannot avoid but to lean on your own understanding. Although the word of God says do not lean on your own understanding, you’ll end up leaning on your own understanding simply because you have no power. The power is in Jesus Christ.

11:27 It is in the New Testament. Now you keep on reading the Old Testament and focusing. Old Testament, the same covering hides the meaning.

11:35 The covering that Moses put the veil he put over his own face so that the children of Israel will not see the glory of God disappearing. Moses put a veil and the Bible says their minds were closed. And even today, those people reading the writings
of the Old Agreement, Old Covenant, the same covering hides the meaning.

11:55 That covering has not been removed for them. It is taken away only through Christ. This is a direct quote from the Scriptures.

12:03 And even today, when they read the law of Moses, there’s a covering over their minds. Brothers and sisters, do not continue with the covering over your minds. No more covering over your minds.

12:12 Get to Jesus. Focus on the New Testament. This is where Jesus Christ, the husband of your soul, is coming back for you.

12:20 He’s talking about you. Your soul being a bride, part of the bride, that’s the church. A bride for Jesus Christ.

12:28 All these wonderful things in the New Testament are here in the New Testament. So when you begin to focus on New Testament and begin to follow what Jesus is saying, the veil goes away. The meanings become clear.

12:39 You will become power in Christ. You begin to walk life with abundant life. No more fear, no more confusion, no more being frightened and knowing your destiny.

12:52 Your husband of your soul is coming back to take you home. The New Testament. Jesus is coming back.

12:58 That’s a fact. All this understanding will begin to understand when you begin to hear the word of God. Take the New Testament.

13:06 Download it from the Internet here, on and on. Or you can even buy it. You buy CDs now, I think, and on and on.

13:15 Put it in a thumb drive, put it in a little computer or whatever. You keep listening to the New Testament on and on. First, start with the Gospels of Jesus Christ and your life will begin to change.

13:26 You read the Old Testament, but remember the Old Testament by itself cannot solve your issue. You have to get to the New Testament. When Jesus died and rose again and gave you power, he removed all power from Satan and gave you the power.

13:39 Now he will compel you. When you begin to hear His Word again and again, you will begin to cast out evil spirits out of you. You’ll begin to care for people because.

13:47 Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. You’re able to do that, why? By the power of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

13:55 Brothers and sisters, we have a great life. Let’s not throw it away. Let’s focus on Jesus and be rooted in him.

14:03 In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
