Matt 4:8-9 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. KJV

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. KJV

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: KJV (Prince = Ruler)

Eph 2:1-10  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Eph 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; KJV

Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. KJV

The word Lord in Ephesians 6:10 is translated Jehovah in parts of your bibles. Some have come to know that Jehovah means the Covenant keeping God. THERE ARE NO ‘J’s’ IN THE HEBREW

The Hebrew name for ‘LORD’ is (YHWH). How can the born again body of Christ be strong in a blood covenant relationship when we did not make or agree to one when we gave our lives to the Lord?

Years ago when I first produced my handouts, I used the Greek word for Jesus ‘Yeshua’, those who received my handouts from your fellow servant Emmanuel, many of you have it. Our Hebrew brothers use YESHUA also.

What did Paul mean when he wrote ‘Be strong in YHWH? All of the books on blood covenant, that I have read referred to Genesis 17:1-14 (that was not the first covenant, there a verbal covenant)

Gen 17:1-14  And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 9 And God said unto Abraham, thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. 12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. KJV

Abraham was not a Jew or Hebrew or an Israelite, but a Gentile, raised in a family of idolaters Joshua 24:2

Josh 24:2 And Joshua said unto all the people, thus saith the LORD God of Israel, your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods. KJV

Abraham moved with his father to Haran, he was there for 25 years. Haran was the place of the worship of the moon god. She (moon god) was the god of fertility, goddess of sexual love, maternity, fertility, prostitution as a religious rite.

Terah Abraham’s father wanted a grandson and wanted a son. Because they wanted to carry on the family line.

Gen 11:30-32 But Sarai was barren; she had no child. 31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. 32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. KJV

There they offered eggs and Rabbits as Sacrifices to the moon god. She is called the queen of heaven in Jeremiah 7:18

Jer 7:17-20 17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. KJV

Jer 44:16-19 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. 17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. 18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. 19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? KJV

The queen of heaven’s other names are : Isis, Diana Acts 19:24, Ashtoreth, Ashtarte, Venus, the cakes baked to her are now ‘the sweet cakes of fat Tuesday during Lent, and the hot cross bans on Christmas time. “the world is already deceived”

This is where the world got Easter from. While in Uganda one year, I read a newspaper article about a woman who did a sacrifice to the moon god, because her crops were bad.

The Hebrews broke covenant by worshipping the moon god, the queen of heaven. (ADONIM) “who is YHWH the blesser of His people in Covenant relationship, when they stayed in covenant, their crops were blessed.

Gen 12:1 Now the LORD (now YHWH the God of glory, said get out of idolatry and I will be your blesser. This is the first verbal covenant or agreement)

Genesis 12:1-3 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. KJV

Acts 7:1-4 1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, 3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. KJV

Rev 18:4 “come out of her my born again people” add blood Covenant to our relationship, as Paul said be strong in Faith, in a blood Covenant with me YHWH. Abraham was strong in my word spoken to him, TOTAL TRUST, TOTAL FAITH, TOTAL BELIEF, Abraham believed me and it was counted to him for righteousness.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. KJV

In a blood covenant with YHWH, the coronavirus cannot touch you. The 4^th of this month, I heard of a brother in Christ who went to another Nation and was preaching. Christians would not get the virus, he got the coronavirus and they put him in jail, pray for healing for our brother. When did he get out of our pagan holidays and enter into a blood covenant with YHWH?

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. KJV

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. KJV

Meaning “if you make a blood covenant with your mouth and believe in all the report in Isaiah 53, you will be save i.e delivered or protected, (literally or figuratively) healed, preserved, save self, do well, be made whole”.; no plague will touch you.

Ps 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. KJV

Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. KJV
