Those Whom Nobody Can Separate

Romans 8:31-39 / "...neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (39)

Hymn #96 Who, You Ask Me, Is My Jesus (Unified Hymn 94)

Giving worship and praying are ways to raise bartizans. Theologians have said that the book of Romans is a diamond and that the sharp point of this diamond is Romans 8. "The law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." (Romans 8:2) Simply put, this means that you've been given the blessing of changing your fate and destiny. Satan's bartizan has been changed into God's bartizan. Because you've received the Spirit of God and not the spirit of a servant, you can call God Abba Father. No one can oppose you because God, who gave Christ, has given you everything. Christ, who's seated at the right hand of God, intercedes for you. That's why nothing can separate you from the love of Christ.

1. Idol Shrines - A Man of the Covenant
You are a person of the complete covenant who'll destroy the idol shrines of Rome and defeat darkness. God has given you the light and has raised you as the watchman. Through the power of God's Word, you must demolish powerful strongholds, (2 Corinthians 10:4-5) That's why the light was kept on throughout the temple 24-hours every day. Within the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Covenant existed, and inside the Holy Place, the holy artifacts were kept. These holy artifacts represented Christ. In addition, the names of the 12 tribes were written on the priest's ephod. This meant that the servants of the Lord prayed for all the people 24 hours every day.

2. The Three Courtyards
You must prepare three courtyards. (The Courtyard of Children, the Courtyard of Gentiles, & the Courtyard of Prayer) This is the reason for temple construction, the reason for your walk of faith, and the reason for the church. If multiethnic people can come to a church where the light is on 24 hours a day; see what prayer is; (25) and are able to hold onto the covenant and pray wherever they are, they'll never perish, (Eternity)

3. The Bartizans of the 237-5,000 Tribes
In Rome, the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes existed. Bartizans were built there, watchmen were raised, and the light was shined. This light was the "platform, watchtower, and antenna." In addition, a banner was raised so that all people could live.

The witnesses who built those bartizans were the 7 Remnants, the members of the Early Church, Paul, and the individuals of Romans 16. You must use temple construction as the opportunity to start anew in your life and stand as a watchman for world evangelization.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, please grant me new strength this week. May new prayers begin. May all present and future church officers stand as watchmen of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. May I build the temple that'll shine the light toward the entire world. Help me prepare the temple that'll possess the three courtyards. Please bless all the believers so that they can become the watchmen. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
