This website contains information relating to Covenants made between God Almighty and various members of His Body of Christ. Sadly, as Christians in various places and times, we have broken these Covenants.

Our interest is Biblical Covenant ie Covenants made by/with God Almighty……1. both those foundational ones recorded in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures… A biblical covenant is a religious covenant that is described in the Bible. All Abrahamic religions consider biblical covenants important. The Hebrew Bible contains the Noahic Covenant, which is between God and all people, as well as a number of more specific covenants with individuals or groups
and 2. those humanity has made ever since. For example, the Christian Wedding Ceremony takes place in the Presence of God Almighty. Promises between the Bride and Groom are given and received by both. Likewise representative tokens eg wedding rings. The Covenant is supported by an Oath declaring the necessity for God’s supremacy eg, ‘so help me God’; ‘as God is my witness’. Modern Court proceedings have long required witnesses to preface their testimony with a statement declaring their intention to tell only truth.
Our enemy Satan, who cannot create only copy, also knows the spiritual power of Covenants and Oaths. He involves his followers in covenants made to him, and usually bound by oaths, including secrecy, which involve serious curses coming on any who break them. Mazzini’s Mafia and English and French Freemasonic covenants and oaths are good more modern examples .
We, the Body of Christ, have broken His Covenants:
- First with God Almighty to His great grief and our great loss.
- Second with the other people within that Covenant, to the great loss of all concerned.
The very serious consequence of this unfaithfulness to God’s Covenant is that we have given our enemy the legal right to enter this broken area and fulfil his only purpose for coming “to steal, kill and destroy” John 10:10a. And we forfeit Jesus’ stated reasons for coming “that we may have and enjoy life, and have it more abundantly”. John.10:10b. The enemy uses people/human beings, who are Yeshua’s highest creation against Him, by seducing and deceiving them to believe his lies and follow his commands. He has no power of his own, only what we give him eg Adam and Eve in Genesis 3.
We must remember that we are not fighting the people the enemy seduces into breaking God’s Covenants, they are not our enemy. We are contending against the despotisms, the powers, [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly [supernatural] sphere. Ephesians 6:12 AMP.

God Almighty’s Covenants and how He relates with them
All quotes from the Amplified Bible
A. He Establishes His Covenants
Genesis 6:18-19 Spoken by God to Noah: But I will establish My covenant (solemn promise, formal agreememnt) with you; and you shall come into the ark—-you and your [three] sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you
19 And of every living thing [found on land], you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
Genesis 15:17-18 God and Abram: When the sun had gone down and a [deep] darkness had come, there appeared a smoking brazier and a flaming torch which passed between the [divided] pieces [of the animals].
18 On that same day the Lord made a covenant (promise, pledge) with Abram.
Genesis 17:1-2 Spoken to Abram: I am God Almighty. Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me].
2 I will establish My covenant (everlasting promise) between Me and you.
Exodus 6:2b-4 Spoken to Moses: I am the Lord.
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob (Israel) as God Almighty [El Shaddai] but by My name Lord I did not make myself known to them [in acts and great miracles].
4 I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which thy lived as strangers (temporary residents, foreigners).
Ezekiel 16:16-20
B. He is faithful to His Covenants
Deuteronomy 7:9 Moses to the children of Israel: Therefore know [without any doubt] that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who is keeping His covenant and His [steadfast] lovingkindness to a thousand generations with those that love Him and keep His commandments.
1 Kings 8:23 King Solomon to God Almighty: He said “O Lord the God of Israel there is no God like You in the heaven or the earth below, who keeps the covenant and shows lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart”.
Nehemiah 9:32a,33 Nehemiah to God in the presence of the returned exiles: Now therefore our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps the covenant and lovingkindness…
33 However, You are just and righteous in everything that has come upon us; for You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.
v 38 Our response to God Now because of all of this, we are making an agreement in writing; and on the sealed document are the names of our princes, our Levites and our priests.
Daniel 9:4 Daniel to God I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed and said “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and extends lovingkindness toward those who love Him and keep His commandments…”
C. He remembers His Covenant
Exodus 2:24 Children of Israel to God: So God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel).
Psalms 105:7-10 The Psalmist: He is the Lord our God; His judgements are in all the earth.
8 He has remembered His covenant, the word which He commanded and established to a thousand generations.
9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and his sworn oath to Isaac.
10 Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
Psalms 111:5 The Psalmist: He has given food to those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence]; He will remember His covenant forever.
Ezekiel 16:60-62 Ezekiel speakingfor YHWH to Jerusalem: Nevertheless I will remember [with compassion] My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant [with Me].
62 And I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord.
Luke 1:70-73 Zacharius at his son John’s Brit Milah: Just as He promised by the mouth of His holy prophets from the most ancient times——-
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hands of all who hate us;
72 to show mercy [as He promised] to our fathers
73 and to remember His holy covenant [the promised blessing].
God Almighty requires the sounding of the rams’ horn, the shofar in Hebrew to seal and ratify Covenants with Him.
