God said to Abraham

I want your son I want you to take your

son your only son Isaac up to the Mount

Moriah and I want you to sacrifice him

to me

Abraham said God that’s the thing I love

the most in this world he’s a miracle

child you gave him to us in our old age

and now you want me to lay him on an

altar and raise the knife and stab him

and burn him and how can I do this how

could any father do that but Abraham

obeyed God because he understood the

power of the blood Covenant he really

believed that if he did it God would

raise him back up From the Ashes that’s

why he he knew the power of the blood

Covenant and when he raised the knife

and was a was about to stab his son

Isaac in the heart an angel stopped him

and God spoke and said now I know you

don’t have to kill him

you don’t have to sacrifice your son and

God was thinking in his infinite mind

I’ll take care of that sacrifice you

don’t have to but I will I’ll send one

with a blood Covenant that will pay the

price but I wanted to know would you

give me your best because in the blood

Covenant is you give your best and God

gives his best

it’s really something when you

understand that God said in blessing now

I will bless you and God said I swear by

my own name that as long as you have

seed on the earth as long as you live

your seed will possess the land and he

made him unbelievable promises that

continue to this day it all started the

Bible started the Covenant that we’re in

through Jesus Christ it all started with

a blood Covenant

Jesus said when he entered into the

upper room with his disciples for the

Last Supper he said in Luke the 23rd

chapter he said this cup is the cup

of the New Covenant of my blood which is

shed for you

do you understand what he was saying he

was saying we’re entering into a blood

Covenant and the old Covenant is the Old

Testament and it’s been all about the

keeping of the law and the rituals and

legalism and you had to earn it and you

had to work for it and you had to

deserve it and it was and if you messed

up you could take the blood of an animal

and the blood of an animal would never

take away your failure it would just

roll it over to a new year

but Jesus said this time on this cross

this day this is my cup this is the cup

of my Covenant this is the cup of the

New Covenant in my blood which is shed

for you and we just read over that we

don’t understand he was saying to them

they fully understood blood covenants

and he said I’m entering in this this

cup is my blood this bread is my body

and I’m entering into this

and what I want you to see is simply

this

in this story there’s something

remarkable that I read I chose the fact

to tell you today and start out in first

Samuel because we see something

beautiful and Powerful in the Covenant

that Jonathan the King’s son made with

day with David

the Bible said that Jonathan said to

David

and David said to Jonathan let’s make a

covenant

and they entered into a blood Covenant

and when they did

because the word covenant means cut

watch this

Jonathan does something strange

he takes his robe off

and he hands it to David

and then he takes

His Garment off it says in another place

if you keep reading it says he took his

garment off and he handed it to David

possessions

and in another place it said he took his

sword his weapons and he gave them

to David

it’s really a powerful thing when you

understand what is that what that really

is about because the robe spoke it was

not just a garment

a regular clothing it was it identified

Jonathan as the King’s son

it was one that wherever he went people

would look and see that particular robe

and it meant royalty and it spoke of his

position

it spoke of who he was it spoke of the

power and authority that he had and

really what Jonathan was saying is I am

the rightful Heir my father Saul is king

of Israel but I want you to take my

position

I want you to take the authority and the

position that I have I’m giving you my

robe

and that came through a blood Covenant

that’s what Jesus Christ has done for

you and me he says when the King’s son

the King of Kings son Jesus Christ went

to the cross the first thing he did is

he traded positions and he said I’m

giving you this place of position so

that you don’t come before the throne as

a beggar but you come as a child of the

king you come as a daughter of the king

a son of the king you come clothed in my

righteousness you come with boldness and

Authority because of what the blood has

done

not only that but he said I’m giving you

my garment and that speaks of

possessions that speaks of meeting the

needs the blood covenant not only

changes your position the blood covenant

not only gives you authority to walk

boldly into the throne of grace because

of the shed blood but it also says that

he will supply your needs that the

possessions that I have through the

cross what are those possessions through

the cross through the blood Covenant

there is healing

through the blood Covenant there is

Deliverance for the mind there is peace

there is Joy there is healing for broken

places in our life all of these

possessions they come through the riches

of the Cross they come because Jesus

gives us his righteousness and gives us

a position that we can receive freely

the grace and the forgiveness and the

healing and the Miracles of God he gives

us all of his possessions in my name you

can heal the sick in my name you can

recover in my name you can see miracles

and then as if that wasn’t enough he

takes his sword Jonathan did and he gave

it to David making the blood Covenant

what a picture what a picture what he

was really saying was from this day

forward since we’ve entered into this

sacred blood Covenant

I give you my sword means this

that whoever fights you fights me

whoever comes against you and tries to

destroy you they’re trying to destroy me

and just like they attack you I will

come and I will fight with you and I

will fight for you because the battle is

not yours alone but I’m gonna fight it

with you in the blood Covenant says I

not only give you position I not only

give you Royal position and possessions

I supply all of your needs healing

Health blessing success goodness Joy all

that you need but the blood Covenant

says through the giving of the sword it

simply says I give you my power

I give you my name I give you the Holy

Spirit I give you the blood and I give

you my sword I give you my word and when

you speak it and when you enforce it the

blood Covenant stands behind it
