Do you have a Bible with you this morning?

If not, raise your hand real high.

The ushers have extra Bibles.

We'd be glad to let you use one of ours.

Hold your hand up real high.

And we're going to Hebrews, the 8th chapter.

In Hebrews the 8th chapter, Hebrews 8th chapter, Hebrews 8, the prophecy in verse 10 is, when the Lord says, I'll put my laws in their mind and write them in their hearts, and I'll be to them a God and they'll be to me a people.

Verse 11, they'll not teach every man his neighbor and every man, his brother, saying,

know the Lord, for all shall know me from the least to the greatest.

A prophecy that is fulfilled in these days.

Under the old covenant, the common man, you might say, did not know God personally.

If he or she wanted to ask the Lord something, they didn't just pray.

They went to a prophet and inquired of the Lord.

And the average man or woman did not have any anointing on them or in them. They did not know

experientially the presence of God. But a prophecy came that in a day to come, they'd not have to say,

let me tell you about the Lord, you need to, I can tell you how to know the Lord.

He said, they'll all know me, from the least to the greatest.

And that's one of the biggest things that makes our covenant a better covenant than that one.

Jesus even said to the disciples, the 12, he said, it's expedient.

It's profitable and better for you that I go away.

They found that hard to believe.

But he said, I'm going to send you another comforter, and he's not just going to be with you, he's going to be in you.
