Appealing to the God of Covenant
(Thank you for your support given to the Hurricane Helene victims - it continues to pour in. I’ll say more about it tomorrow. And since I record the posts the evening before, I am not yet able to comment on Hurricane Milton. I’ll do so tomorrow.)
There are different types and levels of covenant. Most Christians use the word “covenant” only in reference to God’s covenant with Abraham and his offspring, or when referring to the New Covenant we have with God through Christ. Because of this, many shy away from believing America has a covenant relationship with God. The word for covenant in Scripture, however, has a much broader range of meanings.
The Hebrew word is beriyth. It means “a compact, covenant, alliance, pledge, promise, treaty, agreement, league; a constitution, ordinance.”(1) These usages can refer to an agreement between individuals, as in a marriage or a friendship. The word even refers to a covenant, contract, or alliance between nations. Israel, through their idolatry, even made a covenant with death (Isaiah 28:15, 18)! And, of course, it is used to describe covenants involving God. Simply stated, a covenant is a binding agreement or promise between two or more parties.
Obviously, covenants have different levels and strengths. In God’s eyes, a marriage covenant is obviously more binding than two friends pledging their allegiance to one another. We do not become one with someone through a friendship-type covenant, as we do in marriage. Abraham’s covenant with God rises above most others. The new covenant through Christ’s blood stands above all covenants.
When I state that America is in covenant with God, I am NOT saying the Lord entered into the type of covenant with our nation that He did with Abraham. And I’m certainly not equating it to a covenant like unto what we enjoy with God through Christ. Nor am I implying that it is based on a blood sacrifice of some sort.
I AM saying that early Pilgrims, settlers, and Founders in America entered into sacred alliances and agreements with God. They did so through prayers, declarations, and written documents - including our founding documents. Our Founders made sacred, covenantal promises to function under God’s government and care, to serve His purposes, and to honor Him. This was all based on Christ’s sacrifice and the Scriptures, making it acceptable to God. It was also accepted because God Himself inspired and motivated the actions!
America absolutely has covenant agreements and alignments with God, as well as covenant promises from God! He still honors them, and as we declare them in prayer, they are powerful. We can agree and decree with Hunt’s Cape Henry declaration that the gospel will go from these shores to all the nations of the earth. We can declare and decree with Congress that we are a nation under God. We can decree with Ben Franklin and the Continental Congress that the God of providence founded us and will finish what He started. WE CAN TAKE OUT GIANTS WITH THESE DECLARATIONS!
It is little wonder that satanic forces are trying to revise our history. Satan knows covenant roots are powerful. He knows God keeps covenant and mercy (Deuteronomy 7:9).
Do not be distracted by the lies of those who neither want nor honor these covenantal roots. They will lose; God will win. They cannot steal our history unless we allow it, and we will not do so. Hold fast to it and use it in your prayers.
This upcoming Saturday on the Washington Mall, we will war spiritually for America’s return to covenant (link). The Esthers will lead the charge. Let’s decree now, as well.
Pray with me:
We decree that America was founded by God, under an appeal to heaven, and that an appeal to heaven is giving us a rebirth!
We decree that we are a voice for Him to all the earth, and the gospel of the kingdom will go forth from America to all people!
We decree that we are a nation founded under Christ’s blood and rule, and that we have no king but Jesus!
We decree that Yahweh is our Lawgiver, our Judge, and our King, and that our three branches of government were founded under this truth! (Isaiah 33:22).
We decree we are a city on a hill, shining God’s light, and darkness will not prevail!
We decree that God’s mercy over America endures forever; His mercies are new every morning!
We decree that He who began a good work in America will complete it, that God had a plan for our restoration before we even rebelled against Him!
We decree that nothing can stop our restoration because our trust is in God!
We decree that God’s redeeming power is greater than satan’s deceiving lies, and His truth will prevail!
We decree that God has the ability to save - loves to do so - and takes no pleasure in judgment!
We decree that we are seated with Christ, and satan is under our feet. We are far above all principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness!
We decree that we are Christ’s Ekklesia representing His authority on earth; we have His keys of authority to bind and loose, open and close.
We decree that no weapon formed against America’s restoration, nor against the purposes of God for her will prosper.
We decree that America shall be saved!!!
(And Lord, we pray for Your grace to be upon the people of Florida. We ask for grace, comfort, strength, and provision. We ask and decree all this in Christ’s name. Amen.)

America shall be saved.
An uprising is coming |Prophet Charlie Shamp
I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “An uprising is coming! It has been brewing underneath, but now you will see the uprising as the enemy attempts to remove righteousness completely from the land. Hear me this day righteous remnant in America, you must arise and decree my covenant over your nation. You must arise and declare your birthright for you were birthed as a nation founded upon me. Decree and declare your birthright and fresh breath will enter your weary bones. I will expose the wicked weeds in your government that refuse to repent and bow to me. I am separating the wicked from the righteous seed that has been planted…
Amen! Great message! I don't know all the damages or loss of life and all, from the hurricane Milton but the fact it dropped down to Cat 3 and moved through Florida so fast was a blessing in itself. People there probably don't think so but it could have been so much worse. Thank God for that! Onto another subject this Biden/Harris blame misinformation/disinformation to cover up their mess in the Helene hurricane FEMA money to illegal migrants is another one of their lies! Every time they open their mouth they tell another lie!!!!!!! How about them doing their job and help these people/families in North/South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and all the other states affected by this hurricanes!!!! What…
