Step 2: Covenant Restoration (Continued Part 2 of 3)

A Broken Covenant Oath:
If God really is your God, then you should seek Him for every decision. You must know that He is vastly more aware of everything that is going on that affects you, much more than you are. He wants to be consulted even down to the clothes you wear each day. Once you learn to discern His voice, it’s easy to have constant ongoing conversation with Him. If that seems too weird, well, lots of things you do outside of covenant are weirder. Listen, I’m definitely not saying that walking in-sync with the Lord is an easy life, but who has an easy life?

If you were at a military bootcamp, would you be expected to dress exactly as you were told? Would you need to obey those training you? Would you need to eat the food provided for you in the portions provided? Would you need to have intentional focus and expend all your energy in the training maneuvers? Ok, so I’m not saying that obeying the Lord Is constantly difficult to that level, because He is not a hard taskmaster. He does, however, expect to be consulted and obeyed. There are some things in your life that He will be strongly opposed to. He will help you walk away from those for your own good. There is a destiny calling on your life. Don’t you want to be exactly where God wants you to be? God can do things the easy way or the hard way based on your level of cooperation. There is much peace that comes from being exactly where you’re supposed to be at exactly the right time. Only God can give you that.

If you’re in covenant, you can easily follow the Lord through hearing His voice and allowing Him to lead. But if instead, you wrongly chose to obey a different authority as a counterfeit god for the decisions that belong to Him to oversee, you break covenant … and He is no longer your God. You then belong to the false god that you have chosen over Him. I’m not saying that you cannot obey your work supervisor/boss, parents, spouse, laws, or government authority. But if God is in conflict with their directions for you, then you must choose God’s will above theirs. God is expecting you to choose His will above your own and anyone else on the planet. Again, He is sovereignly more aware of your life’s purpose than you are. God wants first-place authority for your decisions.

If you have broken covenant, by choosing to obey a wrong authority (as your counterfeit god), you will want to have a forgiveness conversation with God to resolve the conflict. Without restoration, God will allow the enemy to have access to you. You have chosen the false god and will reap the consequences of your wrong choices. Let me be clear, it is you that abandons God first. So, He has every right to abandon you. Only if you’re in unbroken covenant, will you hear the Lord tell you that He is with you and will not leave you.

“Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” (John 8:47 NIV)

Attached are two pages (of six) from The Rogue Prophet Magazine, “The Covenant Voice of God” (pages 33-34, dated August 2024) that further outline the covenant restoration process. The remaining two pages, “Repent & Renounce” will provide the benefit of my deliverance expertise by providing specific questions for you to ask God so that you can hear directly from Him about right from wrong.
