OUR COVENANT, Part 4<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

October 25, 2019<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

We continue today with the unfolding\nof the concept of Covenant as it expanded in the life of Abraham and Sarah.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

How would\nyou like to have been in Abraham's place?\u00a0 You cut a covenant with\nAlmighty God, but the cut and mark in your flesh is in a place where you can't\nshow it to the public.\u00a0 God was doing something unique.\u00a0 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The mark\nof His covenant with Abraham -- a covenant which specified that <\/span>\"I\nwill make thee exceed fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings\nshall come out of thee.\u00a0 And I will establish my covenant between me and\nthee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant,\nto be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.\"<\/span> <\/span>-- would be with\nhis reproductive organ for the seed that would come forth thereafter.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Notice\nthat Ishmael had come forth out of uncircumcised flesh.\u00a0 Abraham's natural\nreaction as a father to God's Word is, <\/span>\"Oh that Ishmael\nmight live before thee.\"<\/span> <\/span>(Genesis 17:18, KJV)<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The Hebrew\ncontext actually reads, <\/span>\"Oh that Ishmael might be revived or restored to you [under\nthis covenant] (my addition).\"\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>(RAC Translation\n& Amplification)<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

But God's\nresponse makes clear that He isn't having any part of the flesh incorporated\ninto a covenant race of people.\u00a0 Ishmael was born of flesh, out of an\nattempt on Sarai's<\/span> part to help God accomplish His\nWord.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

It's not a\nwonder that God changed Sarai's<\/span> name from\n\"Dominative\" to \"Noble Woman.\"\u00a0 \"Dominative\"\nin this context is manipulative and acting out of unbelief.\u00a0 Unbelief, and\nthe product of unbelief, will NEVER inherit under God's covenant.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Thus, the\nLord speaks to Abraham and answers, <\/span>\"My covenant\nwill I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time\nin the next year.\"<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

\"Dominative\"\ndoes not get to bear seed under the covenant.\u00a0 \"Noble Woman\" (a\nwoman of nobility, honor, and integrity) WILL bear seed.\u00a0 God's covenant\nis VERY specific!<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Covenant\n-- from God's perspective -- is always based in faith, in believing that God\ncannot lie, in believing that no matter how unsupportable God's Word to us may\nbe from a natural, historical, medical or scientific perspective, when He\ndeclares His Word and heart's desire and purpose to us, the very act of His\nspeaking that Word sets in motion the creative force to bring it about.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

When we\nspeak unbelief concerning the Word of God, when we speak doubt, when we speak\nfear -- and then act according to that unbelief, doubt or fear -- we don't\ncancel out God's covenant; we cancel out our receiving what God has\nspoken.\u00a0 In the first part of this discussion last week, I said that God\ncreated Adam and Eve in His image and likeness and imbued them with the same creative\npowers of speech that He had.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The\ncreative power of our speech is a spiritual law that runs throughout Scripture\nfrom Genesis to Revelation.\u00a0 We may not speak worlds into existence in the\nsame way that God did, but we have the ability to speak life or death.\u00a0 We\ndon't speak worlds into existence in a natural realm although we were\noriginally created with that ability.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The\nScripture does not specifically say so, but there is no other conclusion that\none can draw.\u00a0 Adam and Eve certainly had that power prior to the\nfall.\u00a0 They didn't lose their power of creative speech with the fall, but\nthey lost the place of agreement with the Lord that would have empowered such\ncreative force had God so quickened them.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

We have\nthe ability to create abundance and prosperous living by the words of our\nmouth.\u00a0 We have the power to create and to enact anything that has ever\nbeen written in God's Word -- so long as we do so in concert and in agreement\nwith Him.\u00a0 It is a covenant ability.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

We also\nhave the capacity to destroy for ourselves the receiving of anything God has\npromised.\u00a0 When we speak doubt, fear, or unbelief concerning some promise\nthat God has spoken, God's Word does not return to Him void: it returns to us\nvoid because we destroy our own personal environment, our own success, our own\nlife, our own financial prosperity by the words of our mouth.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

For God's\ncovenant to work in our lives absolutely, unequivocally requires the same faith\nthat Abraham exercised when he believed God in the face of the naturally,\nphysically, historically, medically and scientifically impossible.\u00a0 We\nbecome the seed of Abraham according to God's Word by virtue of believing the\nWord that comes forth from the Lord despite how we might consider it in the\nnatural.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Covenant\nis not one-sided.\u00a0 It requires the total agreement and commitment of both\nparties.\u00a0 Thus, if God promises something to us within the framework of\nHis covenanted Word, it comes forth from His mouth as surely as if He were\nstanding in front of us physically and speaking it.\u00a0 For us to be\ncovenant-partners requires that we not only believe God, but that we speak our\nagreement with what God has said, and then act accordingly.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

To mouth\nour agreement with what the Lord says to us, and then act contrarily is to\nnegate the words that come forth from our mouth.\u00a0 Covenant always begins\nwith speaking.\u00a0 Because God's covenant with Abraham was an eternal\ncovenant, it was made on behalf of, and with, all that seed of Abraham that\ncame forth by faith.\u00a0 We either empower or cancel the effectiveness of\nGod's covenant in our lives by the words which come forth by faith or by\nunbelief.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

There is\nanother aspect of covenant that I want to cover in the next few weeks, and that\nis the force of covenant.\u00a0 Let\u2019s begin that part of this discussion\ntoday.\u00a0 <\/span>Watch.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

I said\nearlier that covenant is not one-sided.\u00a0 It requires the total agreement\nand commitment of both parties.\u00a0 Thus, if God promises something to us\nwithin the framework of His covenanted Word, it comes forth from His mouth as\nsurely as if He were standing in front of us physically and speaking it.\u00a0\nFor us to be covenant-partners requires that we not only believe God, but that\nwe speak our agreement with what God has said, and then act accordingly.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

But there\nis an aspect of covenant I don't think I've ever heard discussed in any church\nor fellowship.\u00a0 It is based in a Hebrew word that really has no direct\ntranslation into English.\u00a0 That word is<\/span> <\/span>\u00e3\u00f1•\u00e7•<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/b>k<\/span><\/i><\/b>heseed<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span> <\/span>with the\n\"k\" sound almost silent.\u00a0 Strong's Concordance is literally all\nover the map with the word, and without explaining why, gives totally divergent\nmeanings.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Gesenius<\/span><\/span>, in his Hebrew-Chaldee<\/span> Lexicon explains the word like this in its primary\napplications:<\/span>\n<\/span>to love with intense desire; to show oneself gracious; zeal\n(towards anyone); ardor; kindness; benevolence; the grace, favor and mercy of\nGod; tender mercies; lovingkindness<\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Depending\non context, this word does have some opposite uses, but these uses are limited\nin Scripture and always occur with appropriate diacritical (breathing)\nmarks.\u00a0 Because those uses are peripheral to our study, I won't try to get\ninto them other than to say that they always occur with antiphrasis -- that is,\nset within the context of communicating a negative article.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u00e3\u00f1•\u00e7•<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/b>k<\/span><\/i><\/b>heseed<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span>,<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span><\/i>therefore, is the\nclosest Hebrew word to the Greek agape<\/i> in usage and meaning.\u00a0\nAppearing most frequently -- actually, almost entirely -- within the context of\ncovenant, it gives us a picture of the kind of relationship the Lord had with\nAbraham, and the extravagant nature of what the Lord was establishing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u00e3\u00f1•\u00e7•<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/b>k<\/span><\/i><\/b>heseed<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span> <\/span><\/i>draws a picture of\nan almost intense rivalry in which covenant partners seek to meet each other's\nneeds, go out of their way to defend, uphold and care for, and to display a\nsense of mercy and lovingkindness<\/span> that knows no\nbounds even in the face of dispute or disagreement.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

In our\nfirst discussion on covenant, we talked about the fact that one of the first\nevents to occur during the covenant ceremony was the exchange of cloaks or\nouter coverings.\u00a0 It symbolized the giving of all that a person was,\nmaking all that he had available to his covenant partner: his wealth, the\nresources of his household, the intervention of his family in time of need or\ndistress, and his personal guarantee or oath upon which the covenant hung.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Consider\nhow the Lord showed His cloak during the covenant ceremony.\u00a0 Abraham is\nput into a deep sleep as the Lord shows up to pass between the halved animals\nand stand in the blood.\u00a0 The KJV puts it that <\/span>\"when\nthe sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning\nlamp that passed between those pieces.\"<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

That's\nsomewhat obscure in the way it gets translated, but the word translated\n\"smoking\" is the same word that gets used in some instances for cloud\nor vapor.\u00a0 Remember the cloud or pillar of smoke that stood guard for Israel<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> when the\narmies of Pharaoh came after them?\u00a0 Now do you have the picture?\u00a0 It\nis metaphoric of the covering, the defense of the Lord on behalf of His\ncovenant people.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u00e3\u00f1•\u00e7•<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/b>k<\/span><\/i><\/b>heseed<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span> <\/span><\/i>is the core of\ncovenant.\u00a0 It describes what we could call an \"alter ego.\"\u00a0\nLet me explain.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

When a\nperson is in a covenant relationship, their covenant partner virtually becomes\ntheir alter ego, their \"other self.\"\u00a0 I might liken it to a\ndescription that folks used to use in referring to Dwain McKenzie and me during\nour Long Beach<\/st1:PlaceName> Christian<\/st1:PlaceName> Center<\/st1:PlaceName><\/st1:place>\ndays.\u00a0 We were so linked to each other in relationship and companionship\nthat even when folks only saw one of us, they saw the other.\u00a0 We were\nfrequently referred to as \"the Bobbsey<\/span>\ntwins\" (a reference to two nearly identical twins in the famous children's\nbook).<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The\nsituation developed to the place where when we were in Barrow (we ministered\ntogether there<\/span> years before we were at Long Beach<\/st1:PlaceName> Christian<\/st1:PlaceName> Center<\/st1:PlaceName><\/st1:place>),\npeople would see me walking down the street and wave at me with a shout of\n\"Hi, Dwain.\"\u00a0 He experienced the virtually identical thing when\nfolks would say to him, \"Hi, Regner<\/span>, Hi, Betty\nJune.\"\u00a0 (Betty June -- since gone to be with the Lord -- was his wife\nat that time).<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

You've got\nto know how strong this identity thing was when my father returned from a boat\ntrip along the arctic coast where he had been ministering in some villages and\nsummer campsites and saw Dwain coming to meet him on the beach.\u00a0 His first\nand immediate reaction was, \"Well, Regner<\/span>, what\nare you doing here?\"\u00a0 Funny thing.\u00a0 I was in Nome<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> at the time, and that's a long ways from\nBarrow.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Anyway,\nyou get the idea.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Within the\nframework of covenant,<\/span> <\/span><\/b>k<\/span><\/i><\/b>heseed<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span> <\/span>describes a\ncondition in which each other's blood flows in each other's veins: so deep is\nthe sense of caring and covering for each other.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Are you\nbeginning to understand my early comments about how the whole concept of\ncovenant has been so diluted and watered down throughout the centuries that\nwe've lost the true sense of it?\u00a0 Now maybe you can begin to get a grasp\non the New Testament (Covenant) and the use of the word, agape<\/i>, as the\ndescriptor by which the Lord commands relationship.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Covenant\nrelationships defined the character and nature of those in covenant with each\nother.\u00a0 So deep was the sense of responsibility and concern for each other\nthat they would gladly die for one another if the situation so demanded.\u00a0\nIt transferred over to the family members within that covenant so that each\nparty to the covenant, their wives, children, grandchildren,\ngreat-grandchildren -- and even aunts, uncles and cousins -- all became\nidentified with each other.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The entire\nOld Testament -- the word \"testament\" all by itself scarcely conveys\nthe whole picture -- is a picture of God's covenant -- His first covenant --\nwith Abraham and his descendants.\u00a0 Everything framed in the Old Testament\nis described within the structure of covenant relationship.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

I want to\npick this up next week to show you just how much of what we have read -- and\nunderstood poorly -- throughout both Old and New Testaments is specifically\nframed within covenant relationship, and how significant the promises of\ncovenant are in our walk with the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

In case you are missing out on real fellowship in an environment\nof Ekklesia<\/span>, our Sunday worship gatherings are\navailable by conference call \u2013 usually at about 10:30AM Pacific.\u00a0 <\/span>That conference number is <\/span><\/b>(712) 770-4160<\/span><\/b>, and the access code\nis <\/span><\/b>308640#.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0 <\/span>We are now making these gatherings available on\nvideo using ZOOM.\u00a0 <\/span>If you wish to\nparticipate by video on ZOOM, our login ID is 835-926-513.\u00a0 <\/span>If you miss the live voice-only call, you can\ndial <\/span><\/b>(712)\n770-4169<\/span><\/b>, enter the same access code and listen in later.\u00a0 <\/span>The video call, of course, is not recorded \u2013\nnot yet, anyway.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n
