Dangerous Spiritual Covenants | God’s Warning To His Children | What No One Wants To Talk About
the Bible in Psalm 5 verse 4 says for you are not a God who Delights in wickedness evil may not dwell with you he is a God who doesn't Delight in sin he takes no pleasure from it that's why the wages of sin are death the Lord is too righteous and holy for sin to even be in his present he's he's too pure for that and so what happens when God gets angry what happens when people sin day after day and mock him what happens when people forget that the Bible says in Exodus 34 verse 14 for you shall worship no other God for the Lord whose name is jealous is a jealous God what strikes me about the children of Israel is that they were set free they were LED cared for and blessed by the Lord but yet still found a reason to complain their hearts were ungrateful and they sinned with their unthankful attitudes as they murmured and complained now the Bible reads in Numbers chapter 11 verse 1 and 2. and the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes and when the Lord heard it his anger was kindled and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp then the people cried out to Moses and Moses prayed to the Lord and the fire died down the decision to overlook the goodness of God led to an outpouring of his Wrath so you see God is loving but he is not to be mocked he is patient but he is not weak so we should not provoke him to anger you can't deceive him or think that you can pull a fast one on him he is omnipresent he is omniscient and all-knowing I want to talk to you about dangerous spiritual covenants the term covenants is of Latin origin meaning a coming together this can be like a contract or entering a relationship or agreeing on promises you can enter a covenant through words you can enter a covenant through vows or promises or even physical Acts and since the Covenant can also be defined as a relationship in which two parties make binding promises to each other this means that you can even enter a covenant unintentionally if you aren't careful about what you're saying or what you're doing remember that the Bible in Proverbs chapter 6 verse 2 says you have been trapped by what you said ensnared by the words of your mouth you could be trapped by what you say this is a warning you can easily enter an evil Covenant unknowingly because of what you say now a story is told about a certain young woman who got involved with a young man now unbeknownst to this young woman this young man was involved in occult practices and Suits saying he was a man who was under a demonic influence but you couldn't see it with the naked eye to the Natural Eye he was prim and proper now to the young lady this young man presented this World of Magic and fortune telling us a game as light-hearted entertainment they would be at dinner and while they are waiting for their food he would take her hands and jokingly ask if he could tell her future as a couple they only lasted a few months and they went their separate ways but the young woman started to experience strange things unfortunate things even she became seriously ill and bedridden but the doctors couldn't find out why eventually they simply diagnosed her as depressed and in her own words she would say that she felt like she was walking around with big heavy chains around her neck she would struggle to sleep she didn't enjoy anything at all she had explored every possible medical solution and everything had failed so together with the help of her mother this young lady called on a genuine man of God her local pastor she asked him to pray for healing and the pastor agreed but first he wanted to fast and pray before he went to see her several days later the pastor finally came to see this woman during a conversation with the mother and daughter Pastor found out about the young lady's prior relationship and as she was speaking she said a lot of my friends think I'm down because I had a bad breakup the pastor probed a bit more and the woman revealed the nature of her relationship with this young man she confessed to being involved intimately with him as well as playing along with some of his occult rituals the pastor explained to her and said the moment you opened yourself up to his occult games and activity you entered a covenant with him because by virtue of opening yourself up and being receptive of his influence you were in agreement with him and whatever spirit that was upon him that Pastor prayed he declared the blood of Jesus Christ over her and prayed to break that Covenant the very next day there was an undeniable change on this young woman's face and demeanor God set her free and broke the chains that were so heavy on her the moral of the story is that we should all be more prayerful when it comes to who we associate with we must be more careful when it comes to the promises the vows and things we choose to say be careful of entering dangerous Unholy and evil Covenants unknowingly when you have sex outside of marriage you're entering a covenant when you make promises and vows be careful because you could be entering a covenant the Bible talks a lot about covenants Genesis 2 verse 24 says therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife other translations say to be joined or to be United together with his wife and they shall become one flesh now here a man shall commit the act of leaving his father and mother to go to his wife once his wife they shall become one through the act of sex this establishes a covenant between this man and this woman furthermore the Bible says in Matthew chapter 5 verse 37. let what you say be simply yes or no anything more than this comes from evil when I read this I take this as a warning that you shouldn't just promise things you shouldn't just vow to do things or speak an oath without understanding this is because you can enter into a covenant with someone who you should not be in agreement with now if you want to be set free I want to give you two scriptures to remember in Psalm 118 Verse 5 the Bible says in my distress I prayed to the Lord and the Lord answered me and set me free and then Galatians 5 verse 1 says for Freedom Christ has set us free stand firm therefore and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery Jesus Christ can break every chain he can break every evil Covenant when the Lord gives us freedom he not only sets us free from something but to something greater Jesus sets us free not so that we can go on sinning but so that we can go on to become faithful and obedient servants in his kingdom because of him we are free to Proclaim his redeeming work in our lives we are free to care for the physical and spiritual needs of others we are free to use our gifts and abilities to serve the body of Christ we are free to accomplish amazing things in his name but before that can happen we have to lay all our problems at his feet cry out to him today and he will make your burdens light Psalm 1 verse 1 and 2 say blessed is
