Our God is a covenant God. He has made a blood covenant with us through Jesus Christ that is an everlasting covenant which will never be broken.
"Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands." Deut. 7-9 (NIV)
"I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered." Psalm 89:34 (NIV)
"As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the Lord, "My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth , or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the Lord," Isaiah 59:21 (NIV)
"I will make a covenant of peace with them…." Ezekiel 37:26 (NIV)
In Old Testament times, friends or families would take an oath before all the witnesses in performing a blood covenant. (This is still being practiced today in other parts of the world) They would announce their purposes for entering into this blood covenant relationship, write down their declarations, and then each party would sign with their own blood, then they would partake together of a sacrificial meal.
A family that was weak in a particular area and strong in another would enter into a blood covenant with a family that possessed strengths that they lacked. These two families would lay out the terms of the covenant which were discussed in great depth. A site was selected and the sealing of the covenant was made.
Gift Exchange
Their coats or garments were then exchanged, representing their authority and stood for who they were. Each representative would say "I am giving you all that I am and my authority." Then each representative took off his weapon belt and they exchanged weapons, and said, "I am giving you my strength, your enemies are my enemies, I will stand with you even unto death. Each family took on the other's name. Their name represented who they were. In doing this they were saying, "Your family is now my family, your name is now my name, and your ways are now my ways."
Covenant Meal
The families joined together for a covenant meal. They brought the cup of wine and bread. They each broke the bread and fed it to one another and partook of the cup together. It was to last a least eight generations of family.
God's Covenant Reveals His Purpose
His purpose in entering into a covenant through the blood of Jesus Christ is to draw us to Himself and to totally depend upon Him and to bring us into a covenant relationship where we are joined together in fulfilling His plan and purpose in this appointed time.
Greetings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus!
As we reflect over the past several months of 2006, we marvel
at God's Grace that enabled us to organize and orchestrate
the Azusa Street Centennial Native American Holy Spirit
Gathering. It was an anointed time of tribal representation from
literally around the world, gathering together to praise and
worship our great Chief Jesus Christ!
