A WORD FOR 2022
FAMILY COVENANT
Want to share highlights from my book I'm currently writing let me know what you think.
FAMILY COVENANT
Initiated by God, the Family Covenant is one of the greatest and most precious gifts a family can receive that will enrich everyone that makes up each member of the family unit. The covenant grows in benefits and expands in the quality of rewards as each member experiences God’s goodness and comes to understand their own relationship with God. Enriched with the power of God’s love, spiritual benefits, each member’s destiny, and purpose is revealed.
Covenant can best be defined as SOMETHING or SOMEONE you can TRUST, RELY ON, ACCEPT, AFFIRM, AGREEMENT, be REST ASSURED or take as GOSPEL TRUTH!
In the book of 2 Kings, I noticed a pattern of broken covenants among the royal families. These fractured covenants became the legacy left by the kings of Israel. For example, the tribe of Judah’s disobedience to God, continued from one royal generation to the next, each generation following the same pattern of disobedience of their forefathers. Remember, we too, are of royal descent. Not only do we serve a King, but our king is also our heavenly Father, and so, we are a royal generation as are our children. Just as we see in 2 Kings, our disobedience can result in broken or fragmented covenants resulting in generational curses of disobedience passing down our family line.
The rulers in 2 Kings influenced not only their inner circle of the family but their entire kingdom as well. Whatever they deemed as law would determine the strength and health of their kingdom. Covenant is built on key components: Commitment: your willingness to devote your time; Promise: to make a pledge with the intent to fulfill it to the best of your ability. When commitment and promise come together under the umbrella of a solemn agreement, a covenant, a spiritual contract, binding each party to the other and to God, is formed.
Disobedience in our Christian walk can forfeit the benefits and rewards provided by the covenant. The spiritual inheritance and legacy we leave to our children are affected. When the hedge of protection is lifted from our Family Covenant, we become vulnerable to attacks of the devil. Our destiny and calling, including those of each member of the family, may not be realized and experienced as originally intended by God.
The Family Covenant is designed by God to strengthen every family member allowing them to grow and mature in faith resulting in God’s favor, blessings, and protection, along with many more Kingdom benefits provided to us through our salvation in Christ Jesus.
In 2Peter 1:3 we find God’s design for our lives and the rewards made available to us when we walk in obedience to Him.
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these, he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
As you can see there is a pattern, a spiritual structure, in this verse first. God has equipped us in every way to live life in His fullness, under His glory and goodness, on the premise that we whole heartily pursue a personal knowledge of Him. Next, we see through this first step, we are led to His precious promises which become benefits to us and our family. We are then positioned to participate in His divine nature which is all of who He is as God. This brings a covering and hedge of protection against the corruption of sin and the influences of the world. A sensitivity to the movement of His Holy Spirit that dwells within us, brings the conviction of righteousness through the power of His Spirit, protecting us from the road of destruction not only for ourselves but for the entire family as a whole.
This spiritual structure is important so that our children are able to experience and have a spiritual reference that will serve them well later in life. They will come to understand the importance of serving Christ and loving God, this will perpetuate a Godly heritage passing from them to future generations as they enjoy the benefits of the Family Covenant designed by God.

SPIRITUAL OWNERSHIP OF SALVATION PART 1
SPIRITUAL OWNERSHIP OF SALVATION PART 2
THE TRUST AND PEACE OF GOD
Today, many are troubled by many things that are filled with uncertainty that have challenged their faith and peace of mind. When we let the negativity of circumstances and issues of people's attitudes towards us inflaming our hearts to a point of bringing depression by letting it fester too long in our minds and heart-affecting the spirit of our good nature which can make us feel as if we are something broken.
Allowing these things to grow can make it seem bigger then what we can handle emotionally seemly, knocking down our self-esteem and confidence in whom God created us to be in Christ. When we allow these things time to grow it can begin to change the course, outcome, and direction of your outlook of life can put you in a place of vulnerability for the devil to steal away your peace.
Don't let circumstances and attitudes of others determined or define who you are in life put your trust in God He's got your life planned out and allow His Peace to take yo to your destination of purpose and promise.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; My own I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Psalm 31:13-14 (Scripture below)

J TORRES MINISTRIES TELEVISED IN MIDDLE EAST
In mid of 2017, we were asked by a Christian TV network in the Middle East to begin to broadcast my programs on their Network. We did a soft launch earlier in the year. I received an early morning conference call from the Middle East which I was told that their Network has now been established and would like to officially begin to broadcast my programs in two languages in Pakistan and other Middle Eastern Countries enabling me to reach many Muslim homes in sharing the gospel...how cool is that. So I'm asking all my friends and family to keep us and our ministry in your prayers as we move in this direction of TV. If anyone would like to donate in assisting us to go to our website at epiclistening.blogspot.com in note area, write Daaim TV thanks, everyone.
