".. when the sociopaths next get people to kill for them,

let's just send these war-mongers

off with boxing gloves; ..
so we all can party with their latest "enemy"
with the king of peace and grace ....."
+
I've (Jeff Turner) said this on many, many different occasions, but I feel it necessary to say it once more:

America is not a covenant nation! What I mean, is that America, the good old United States of America (which I am blessed to call my home), is not a nation that is in covenant with God. Now, trust me, I understand that various groups throughout history, from the Pilgrims to modern intercessors, have attempted to make national, contractual agreements with God, but the fact is, such covenants do not hold any weight in the realm of eternity. 

The only divine covenant in existence in that which exists between the Father and the Son, and this is a covenant which has existed throughout eternity. The covenant was in Christ's blood (LK 22:20), and since, in the mind of the Godhead, Christ's sacrifice occurred outside of time (REV 13:8), it is a covenant that predates man's existence. Therefore, from the very beginning, the only covenant that really matters is one that does not depend upon human performance, but upon a divine promise. This covenant flared up in the life of Abraham, and was even spoken of by David, but did not firmly embed itself into the human timeline until the "fullness of time" had come, and Christ's work manifested in this sphere we call reality.

The Old Covenant is actually newer than the New Covenant, as it exists only in time, and came only to show us the futility of trying to appease and please God by our own strength and efforts. (GAL 3:22-25, ROM 3:20) This covenant *WAS* a covenant that existed between God and an exclusive nation of people. It was an "I will if you will" covenant, or, a conditional covenant. (EX 19:5-6) However, in Hebrews we are told that this Covenant was flawed, and therefore had to be set aside. The problem was not with the Law, for the Law was "holy, righteous, and good" (ROM 7:12), the problem was with the people (HEB 8:8). 

What I mean when I say that the problem was with the people, is that the fact that the covenant existed between a perfect God, and an imperfect people made the covenant flawed. *IF* there was ever a nation capable of bearing up under it's burden, and keeping it's dictates, then it would have been all fine and dandy. However, the people were flawed, and unable to keep up their end of the bargain. Since this covenant was conditional, God was therefore not obliged to keep up His end of the bargain, proving that the whole system was flawed, and that it could not possibly work.

Therefore, the conditional, "I will if you will", covenant of Mt. Sinai was discarded, and put to bed once for all when Jerusalem was razed and destroyed. Without a Temple, Priesthood, and sacrificial system, Old Covenant Judaism is literally impossible to observe, proving that the covenant is beyond obsolete, but that it has expired and passed away (HEB 8:13). Therefore, now, the only covenant standing is that which predates man's involvement, and existed exclusively between the Father and the Son!

This covenant is perfect, for it's waters CANNOT be muddied by human error! It exists between two UNCHANGEABLE THINGS (HEB 6:18), those things being God the Father, and God the Son! Since neither One will ever be unfaithful to the Other, the covenant stands firm forever, and can never be broken! It is not a covenant made with nations by pilgrims, or prayer warriors, but a covenant made between a perfectly faithful Father, and a perfectly faithful Son!

This covenant does not lose it's power when men disobey, or pass laws that are immoral. Human governments cannot "kink the hose" of the Covenantal blessings which flow from the union of the Father and the Son! No man sitting in a swivel chair in an oval office can do a thing to hinder this Covenant's efficacy. Only the union of a Father and Son, enthroned above the circle of the Earth matters!

We often talk of how America's (or, insert your nation's name here) sins will be her demise, or of how our governments abandonment of our Godly foundations will be our undoing. We speak as though the covenant existed between God and the founding fathers who, while I'm eternally grateful for what they accomplished, in the realm of religion, were mostly Deists, and not Biblical Christians! We think that it was the strength of their devotion and covenant that ensured the blessings of God upon our nation, but we could not be more wrong! 

God's blessings flow from the Glories of the Eternal Covenant; a Covenant that we call "new" since, in the realm of time, it came after the Mosaic Covenant. However, this covenant predates us all, and was in operation prior to us being given the opportunity to fail or to succeed. Therefore, rest assured that God's blessings, His protection, and His goodness towards you has nothing to do with the decisions made by governments, politicians, or lawmakers, but has everything to do with the Godhead's faithfulness to one another!

Since they are never unfaithful to each other, we can be sure that this New Covenant will never falter or fail! It stands firm forever, and will never be shaken! Regardless of the "Harbingers" spoken of by the doomsayers, or the apocalyptic prophecies of our gloomy brethren, rest assured that God has not changed His mind about His covenant with you! For He does not have a covenant with you, but with Himself!

"I watched an episode of American Greed recently where several victims of a scammer were interviewed who made similar comments of never forgiving the offender and hoping he "rotted in prison for life".

Sadly they all displayed the turned down mouth and hollowing eyes of a bitter spirit. No one had showed them that their apparent virtuous attempts at justice were already destroying their lives while the perpetrator was getting on with his life.

Make no mistake a decision to never forgive is a decision to end your own possibility of freedom. YOUR prison is much worse than any man made building."
