Covenant.2

Don’t know how God works with you but with me he will give me a word or thought that seems simple and make me worry over it like a dog with a bone and pull every drop of goodness out of the original thought...

Sometimes it takes weeks, months and even years.

The Word that God has been hounding me over is COVENANT.

Evangelical dictionary of biblical theology

Of course our first thoughts go to God’s covenant Abram.

Genesis 15:18 KJV 1900

18 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

But the concept of covenant is so strong in the bible that it’s literally the first interaction that God has with man…

Covenant of life

Genesis 2:7 KJV 1900

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

When God breathed that breath of life into Adam he became a living soul and entered into covenant that as long as he would continue to breath, the brain would receive oxygen, organs would continue to work, - LIFE WOULD CONTINUE!

It’s a covenat that God has with man

Life cannot exist outside of the covenant!

b. Covenant of obedience

c. Blood covenants

I came to the place where God began to challenge me on how this applies to me, my church…

The question that God asked me:

What am I in covenant with?

I went through a process that I wont bore you with...

Bottom line: I know the things I am in covenant with because they are the things that I invest the most in.

This is important because what we are in covenant with will determine what side of God’s purpose we find ourselves on.

There is divide that is taking place in America, our churches, our families, and our lives.

In US: Abortion 60-65 million babies since Roe vs. Wade

6 months ago we would have laughed at the idea that we may be able to over turn Row v Wade

Yet, now we do.

Actually have a state that is 100% no abortion right now - even if on a technicality.

The devide?

States giving abortions till birth -

Bernie Sanders Claims There’s ‘No Middle Ground on Abortion,’ Vows to Repeal Hyde Amendment

While California is inviting women to come for abortions, state after state is completely reevaluating their stance and taking more of a biblical view of this issue that has caused God’s stomach to churn for decades!

There is a divide that is taking place…

Where ever people covenant themselves, will determine the blessings or the judgements of God!

I see a dividing that is taking place...

I see it in my church

I see it in our district

Simple question that I ask, who are you in covenant with?
