Sixteen Great Covenants of Scripture

From Understanding the Essence of Scriptural Covenant

God Keeps Covenants

God has kept and always will keep His part of any covenant with any people. Israel was not cursed with defeat, captivity, dispersion, and judgment because God broke the covenant. He told them plainly what He would do if they broke the covenant, so He could not do otherwise (Leviticus 26; Deut. 28). Even yet, God promises that when they repent and keep His covenant, He will restore them as in days of old (Deut. 4:25-31; Deut. 30:1-10; Isaiah 11:10-16; Jeremiah 23:1-8; Jeremiah 30:1-31:40; Jeremiah 32:37-44; Jeremiah 33:3-26; Ezekiel 34:11-31; Ezekiel 36:1-38; Ezekiel 37:1-28; Amos 9:9-15; Zeph. 3:8-20; Zech. 8:3-8,20-23; Zech. 12:10-13:9; Zech. 14:14-21; Matthew 24:31; Romans 11:25-29). God is as quick to accuse and judge (bring justice) when the time comes to do so, as He is to bless. It is God who charges anyone who transgresses with sin, not man (Romans 8:33-34; Romans 14:4; 1 Cor. 11:32). If, like Paul, we are persuaded to let nothing separate us from God, we are secure (Romans 8:35-39); and if we practice Paul's method of keeping the carnal flesh under subjection we shall never be a castaway (1 Cor 9:27); but if we go into sin and continue in sin we shall die spiritually; and if we persist in sin, refusing to repent and live righteously, we shall be cut off from God forever (Romans 6:16-23; Romans 8:12-13; Romans 11:11-29; 2 Cor. 3:16-17; 2 Cor. 6:9-11; Galatians 5:19-21; Galatians 6:7-8; Hebrews 6:4-9; Hebrews 10:26-29; 2 Peter 2:20-21).

Sixteen Great Covenants of Scripture

1. Solaric (Genesis 1:14-18; Genesis 8:22; Psalm 89:34-37; Jeremiah 31:35-37; Jeremiah 33:19-26). This covenant was made between God and man. In addition to eternal seasons of fruitfulness, it promised that humankind would continue forever, as long as the solar system endures. In this connection, definite promises were made to Noah, David, and others as seen in the scriptures above.

2. Edenic (Genesis 1:26-3:24). This was made with Adam and Eve before the fall and was conditional upon obedience (Genesis 2:17). The terms of the covenant were:

(1) Be fruitful, not sterile (Genesis 1:28).

(2) Multiply, increase humankind (Genesis 1:28).

(3) Subdue the earth (Genesis 1:28).

(4) Rule all God's works (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 8).

(5) Till the ground and be a partaker of the garden (Genesis 2:15).

(6) Protect your dominion from enemies (Genesis 2:15).

(7) Freely eat of all things except the tree of knowledge (Genesis 1:29-30).

(8) Refrain from eating of the tree of knowledge (Genesis 2:16-17).

(9) Fear the penalty for sin (Genesis 2:17).

3. Adamic (Genesis 3:14-19). This agreement was made with Adam and Eve after the fall and before the expulsion from the garden. It ushered in the Dispensation of Conscience (Point 10). The covenant consisted of two parts:

(1) The five-fold curse on:

(A) The serpent (Genesis 3:14,15; Isaiah 65:25)

(B) Satan (Genesis 3:15; John 12:31; Col. 2:14-17; Hebrews 2:14-18)

(D) The man (Genesis 3:17-19; Psalm 90:9,10; Romans 5:12-21)

(E) The ground (Genesis 3:17-19; Romans 8:18-23)

(2) The promise in Genesis 3:15. This included redemption and the removal of the curse (Romans 8:18-23; Rev. 22:3).

4. Cainic (Genesis 4:11-15). This was a pledge to Cain of vengeance on anyone who found him and killed him.

5. Noahic (Genesis 8:20-9:29). This contract was made with Noah and the beasts of the field after the flood and ushered in the Dispensation of Human Government (Point 11). The terms of the covenant were:

(1) God would not curse the ground or living creatures any more "while the earth remains" (Genesis 8:22; Genesis 9:12,16)

(2) Humankind should replenish the earth forever (Genesis 9:1,12,16).

(3) Humankind should rule the earth (Genesis 9:2,3).

(4) Animals should be eaten, but not the blood (Genesis 9:3,4)

(5) There should be capital punishment for murderers (Genesis 9:5,6; Numbers 35)

(6) The rainbow should be a sign of the covenant (Genesis 9:12-17).

(7) The covenant would be eternal (Genesis 9:12,16).

6. Abramic (Genesis 12:1-3). This was made with Abram (Abraham) after the confusion of tongues. It ushered in the Dispensation of Promise (Genesis 13:14-18; 15:1-21; 17:4-8; 22:15-18; 26:1-5; 28:3, 10-15; Point 12). The covenant consisted of two parts:

(1) The seven-fold promise:

(A) "I will make of thee a great nation" (Genesis 12:1-3; 13:16; 17:18-20; 24:34,35; Galatians 3)

(B) "Make thy name great" (Genesis 12:1-3; Exodus 2:24,25; 6:3-8)

(D) "I will bless them who bless thee" (Genesis 12:1-3; Matthew 25:31-46)

(E) "I will bless thee" (Genesis 13:14-18; 15:18-21; Galatians 3)

(F) "I will curse them who curse thee" (Zech. 14; Matthew 25:31-46)

(G) "In thee shall all the nations of the world be blessed" (Deut. 28:8-14; Isaiah 60:3-5; Isaiah 66:18-21; John 8:56-58; Galatians 3:16)

(2) The sign of the covenant: circumcision (Genesis 17:1-21; Isaiah 24:5)

7. Hagaric (Genesis 16:7-14). This was a covenant made with Hagar concerning her seed through Ishmael, Abraham's son. It concerned many generations and was in three parts:

(1) Commands:

(A) Return, submit to Sarah (Genesis 16:9)

(B) Call her son Ishmael, meaning "God shall hear" (Genesis 16:11)

(2) Promises:

(A) Seed to be multiplied beyond number (Genesis 16:10; 17:20-22)

(B) Ishmael to be blessed and become a great nation (Genesis 17:20; 21:17-18)

(3) Prophetic revelation:

(A) Ishmael to be a wild man (Genesis 16:12; eventually Islam)

(B) His hand to be against every man (Genesis 16:12; eventually Islam)

(D) Ishmael to dwell in the presence of his brethren (Genesis 16:12; eventually Islam)

8. Sarahic (Genesis 17:15-19; Genesis 18:9-15). This covenant was made with Sarah and promised certain blessings to her and her offspring, Isaac, for many generations. It was in two parts:

(1) Commands:

(A) Change her name from Sarai to Sarah, meaning "princess" (Genesis 17:15)

(B) Call her son Isaac (Genesis 17:19)

(2) Promises:

(A) To be blessed with a son (Genesis 17:16-19; 18:10-15)

(B) To be made a mother of nations (Genesis 17:16)

(D) Abrahamic covenant to be continued with Isaac (Genesis 17:19)

(E) Abrahamic covenant to be continued with Isaac's seed forever (Genesis 17:19)

9. Healing (Exodus 15:26; 23:25). This was made with Israel and all who desired or chose to come under the covenant of God as given to Moses. It was in two parts:

(1) Commands:

(A) Diligently hearken to God's voice (Exodus 15:26; Leviticus 26:14-15)

(B) Do that which is right in His sight (Exodus 15:26)

(D) Keep all His statutes (Exodus 15:26; Leviticus 26:3,14-15)

(E) Serve the Lord (Exodus 23:25)

(2) Promises:

(A) "I will put none of these diseases upon thee" (Exodus 15:26)

(B) "I am the Lord who heals thee" (Exodus 15:26)

This covenant was made a part of the New Covenant, for Christ "took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses" (Psalm 103:2-4; Proverbs 3:7; 4:20-22; Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:17; James 5:14-16; 1 Peter 2:24). See also the New Covenant numbered 15 below, and the following note:

To prove not only that God could heal but was willing to (thus fulfilling His promises and covenants), He healed them all by His word and there was not a feeble person in all their tribes (Ps. 105:37; 107:20). God promised to make everyone immune from all diseases in the future, upon meeting conditions (Ex. 23:22-25; Ps. 91; Isa. 58). Sicknesses and diseases were and still are special curses (separation from blessings) on human beings only when they won't obediently yield or when they fail to understand and appropriate God's provision by trusting (faith) (Ex. 23:22-25; Lev. 26; Dt. 28; Job 33:14-33; Ps. 91; 103:3; 107:17-21; Pv. 3:7; 4:20-22; Isa. 58; Mt. 8:17; Jn. 10:10; 2 Cor. 11:30; Jas. 5:14-16; 1 Pet. 2:24).

10. Mosaic or old covenant; also called the Old Testament (Exodus 20:1-24:8; 2 Cor. 3:6-18). See Old and New Covenant Contrasts

11. Levitic (Numbers 25:10-14). This was given through Moses to Phinehas, the son of Levi, who was zealous for the Lord and executed judgment upon rebels (Numbers 25:1-9). It consisted of two great promises:

(1) Peace and blessing to Levi's house (Numbers 25:12)

(2) An everlasting priesthood (Numbers 25:13)

12. Palestinian (Leviticus 26; Deut. 11:8-32; Deut. 27:1-30:20). This covenant was made with Israel through Moses and was conditioned upon the obedience of the nation. There were seven parts:

(1) Dispersion for disobedience (Deut. 28:63-68; Deut. 30:1)

(2) Repentance while in dispersion (Deut. 30:2; Zech. 12:10-14)

(3) The return of the Lord (Deut. 30:3; Zech. 14; Acts 15:14-17)

(4) Restoration in the land (Deut. 30:5; Isaiah 11:1-12; Ezekiel 37; Matthew 24:31)

(5) National conversion (Deut. 30:6; Isaiah 66; Zech. 12:10-13; Romans 11:26)

(6) Judgment of Israel's oppressors (Deut. 30:7; Zech. 14; Matthew 25:31-46)

(7) National prosperity (Deut. 30:9-10; Romans 11)

13. Salt (Leviticus 2:13; Numbers 18:19). A covenant made with Israel concerning the sacrifices they were to offer forever. See usage of salt in Mark 9:49,50; and Col. 4:6. In Palestine and surrounding countries salt was used in making covenants. If people dined together on food with salt in it, they became friends, though they may have been enemies before. The Arab expression, "There is salt between us," or "He has eaten of my salt," means partaking of the hospitality which cements friendship. Covenants were generally confirmed at sacrificial meals and salt was always present. The covenant of salt pictured the everlasting friendship between God and His people (Numbers 18:19).

14. Davidic (2 Samuel 7:1-17). This agreement was made with David and his house through Nathan the prophet, and was conditioned upon obedience as all other covenants. It was to be an everlasting covenant, containing seven blessings:

(1) A Davidic house forever (2 Samuel 7:13-16; Psalm 89:20-37; Luke 1:32-35)

(2) A Davidic throne forever (2 Samuel 7:12-16; Isaiah 9:6,7; Luke 1:32-35)

(3) A Davidic kingdom forever (2 Samuel 7:12-16; Isaiah 9:6,7; Luke 1:32-35)

(4) A sure land for Israel forever (Genesis 17; 2 Samuel 7:10)

(5) No more affliction from the nations forever (Deut. 28:1-30:10; 2 Samuel 7:10)

(6) The Fatherly care of God forever (2 Samuel 7:14; 2 Cor. 6:15-18)

(7) An eternal covenant (2 Samuel 7:10-16; Isaiah 9:6,7; Luke 1:32,33)

15. Holy Matrimony (Genesis 2:24) This is still in force (Gen. 3:16; Num. 30:10-15; 1 Cor. 11:3; Eph. 5:22-33; Col. 3:18; 1 Peter 3:1-7; Titus 2:4) Understand God’s Covenant of Holy Matrimony here

16. New Covenant (Matthew 26:28; 2 Cor. 3:6-18). This is the one made by Y’shua Messiah (Christ) (Hebrews 8:6). It is still in force and includes all the terms, conditions, commands, promises, benefits, and rights revealed in the twenty-seven books of the New Testament.

The Deeper Picture

At Genesis 3:14, 15: “So the LORD God said to the serpent: ‘Because you have deceived them [Adam & Eve] … I will put enmity [aggression] between you and the woman [Eve], and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”

This is where and when the natural hostility between snakes and humankind originated. And there is also natural hostility between disciples of Satan and God (Mt. 10:34-38; Jn. 15:18-19; Jas. 4:4; 1 Pet. 4:12-19; 1 Jn. 2:15-17; 3:8-12; 4:1-6).

“The seed of the woman:” Genesis 3:15 refers to the seed of the woman, not the seed of man. This could only refer to the coming of the Son of God through Miriam (Mary) (Gen. 3:15; Isa. 7:14; 9:6-7; 11:1; Mt. 1; Lk. 1:31-35; Jn. 1:14; Rom. 1:1-3; 8:3; Gal. 3:16,19; 4:4; Php. 2:5-11; 1 Tim. 3:16; 2 Tim. 2:8; Heb. 1:1-8; 2:9-18; 1 Jn. 4:1-6; Rev. 5:5). The virgin birth is one of the most essential doctrines of the whole plan of God. Without faith in it and in the death, burial, and resurrection of Y’shua Messiah (Jesus Christ) one cannot be saved (1 Cor. 15:1-8; 1 Jn. 4:1-6; the new covenant).

“He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel:” In the future new covenant, Christ shall utterly crush and eternally defeat Satan (Rom. 16:20; Gal. 3:13; Ps. 72:9; Eph. 2:14-18; Col. 2:15; Heb. 2:14; 1 Jn. 3:8; Rev. 11:15; 12:7-12; 19:11 — 20:10). Satan was going to inflict only temporary sufferings on Messiah (Gen. 3:15; Isa. 53; Acts 2:25-26; Heb. 2:14-15; Rev. 1:18; the new covenant).

“Also for Adam and his wife, the LORD God made tunics of skin and clothed them” (Genesis 3:21). God graciously informs us that He ‘covered’ Adam and Eve with skin garments, signifying His divine mercy, substitutionary atonement, and the necessity of covering sin through shed blood—innocent shed blood. It shows God providing for human shame, foreshadows Christ’s sacrifice, and marks the first instance of death required to cover sin.

To make garments of skin, an animal had to die. This highlights that sin results in death and requires a price to be paid.

This points toward the sacrificial system later established through Moses.

Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves with fig leaves (a human remedy), but God provided a lasting, sufficient covering. The garments directly address the nakedness and shame that resulted from the Fall, restoring a measure of dignity through divine action. Despite their disobedience and expulsion from Eden, God still cares for them, showing mercy alongside justice.

It foreshadows Y’shua Messiah (Jesus Christ), the “Lamb of God,” whose blood permanently covers human sin as detailed in the new covenant. (2 Corinthians 5:19; Ephesians 1:7; Colossians 1:12-14, 3:12-14; Hebrews 9:13-15, 26, 27, 10:12, 14; 1 John 1:7-10)

Just as God clothed Adam & Eve, believers are described as being clothed in the “righteousness” of Messiah (Christ), detailed in the new covenant. (Isaiah 61:10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:27; Ephesians 4:24; 1 John 2:29)

The above are vital attributes of the old covenant, first, then the new covenant.

In essence, it is seen as the first “gospel” moment in Scripture—God Himself steps in to reverse the problems of human guilt, shame, stress (fear, anxiety), resentment, bitterness, rejection, emptiness, addiction, despair, habits, relational heartaches, financial headaches, and mental, emotional, and physical health issues. For a complete Bible study on how to access your freedom from such, proceed to here.

We can sit down with our Bibles and find passages that claim God has met not only our personal identity needs but our every need as well. We can enjoy reviewing the following well-known verses as a basis for our faith. There are, of course, many others.

Here is one of the true meanings of the cross. A divinely ordained exchange took place. Simply put, all the evil due to you came upon Jesus that, in return, the good due to Jesus might be offered to you.

God Meets Your Need to be Forgiven of Your Sins

By the walk of Christ in real humanity and yet without sin, He condemned sin in you and me, and made a way for us to escape judgment and condemnation!

“Jesus personally carried away your sins in His body to the cross so you can be rid of sin... (1 Peter 2:24)”

“God has delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. (Col. 1:13-14)”

“God made Jesus who had no sin to be sin [the sin offering] for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Cor. 5:21)”

Under the old covenant, many received God’s wrath because the law of Moses exposed their sin and required judgment (justice) from a holy and righteous Father. The law was necessary to show people that we could never fulfill it on our own. The purpose of the law was to reveal humanity’s sin and our need for a savior. In due time, when Jesus came to earth, everything changed. Through His death, God made a way for you to escape judgment and condemnation. Sin always requires the sacrifice of life. Prior to the cross, animals were sacrificed on behalf of the people to demonstrate the blood price for sin. You can never earn righteousness through performance—your works or moral deeds. By faith—clinging to, trusting in, and reliance—your righteousness is only through the blood of Jesus Christ's death on the cross. You simply need to confess your sins to God. He will restore you immediately.

“If we walk in the light as God is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. (1 John 1:7-10).

“God’s law was given so that all could see the extent of their failure to keep God’s laws. But the more we see our sinfulness, the more we see God acquitting us of our sins and grace abounding and reigning in our life! (Rom. 5:20)”

“Colossians 1:21-23 states, ‘And you, who were once so far away from God. You were His enemies, separated from Him by your evil thoughts and actions, yet now He has brought you back as His friends. He has done this through His death on the cross in His own human body. As a result, He has brought you into the very presence of God, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault—if you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard...’

“In reconciliation, God’s love and wrath join hands. His wrath destroys and consumes the separating barrier. He is a just God. He could not justify [acquit, provide righteousness to] people while sin was still there so there had to be God’s love and wrath together.

“God’s wrath destroys and consumes sin because it has to fall on sin and disobedience. It destroys the barrier and the sin. And when Jesus took the sins of the whole world, God’s wrath reached out, darted forth and struck that sin. Jesus took the full charge because of the sin that was placed on Him during those hours. And now any barrier or sin that would come in between God and any person when the person looks to Jesus in faith, the wrath that would have been reserved for that sin and that would have struck the person because s/he was associated with that sin, the wrath reaches out and consumes that sin. And then turns around because it sees Jesus’ blood and the wrath turns around and hides itself in God’s love [Isa. 61:10].

“God is perfectly just and the vindicator of any person who puts their trust in Jesus’ blood. God’s wrath is still there for sin (Rom. 1:18, 19, 6:23; Jas. 1:13-16) but He can vindicate, pardon, any person because His wrath sees the blood and knows judgment has already struck and it turns around and hides in God’s love. When any person’s faith (trust, reliance) is in God’s Son Jesus’ blood, His wrath cannot penetrate because it has already spent its charge on sin. Any person then can stand before Father God knowing that by His choice He cannot remember against that person’s sins. It’s the eternal covenant that God made with people through the sacrifice of His Son. Jesus, as the High Priest, went into the heavens and blotted out as a thick cloud every record of anything that could be against any person. Written in Jesus’ blood is a new covenant (sacred, promissory union) for any person. The sins and their iniquities (sin’s destructive consequences) will God remember against the person no more, forever (Rom. 5; 2 Cor. 2:19; Col. 1:13-23; 2:11-14; Heb. 10:7-18).

“These truths contain the gentle yet unlimited power to free any person from all stress, fear, anxiety, resentment, shame, guilt, emptiness, confusion, and despair. They can liberate any person from the burdens that they may be going through. They can free any person from their own efforts of trying to lift themselves into a place where they can please God.” —Pastor Roland Buck, author of the inspired book, Angels on Assignment

Is it still possible to sin? Yes. “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. (1 John 1:10; see also Rom. 6:15-23.)” Must we repent when we continue in sin? Yes (2 Cor. 7:10; Rev. 2:5; 3:19). And, there is zero condemnation in this admission, beloved. It’s part of life and maturity to acknowledge what isn’t working. Because of God's grace and mercy, we fall forward, not backwards, when we repent! Proverbs 24:16 states: “The righteous may trip seven times [completely], but each time they will rise again! But one calamity is enough to lay the wicked low.” Be encouraged once again: you can never earn righteousness through your works or moral deeds—performance. Your righteousness is only through the blood of Jesus Christ's death on the cross. You simply need to take responsibility for your sins with God. Again, 1 John 1:7-9 states: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” God is “just” in this because justice has already been served—Christ’s sacrificial death paid the penalty in-full for your sins “once and for all! (Rom. 5; 2 Cor. 2:19; Col. 1:13-23; 2:11-14; Heb. 10:7-18)” No more shame; no more guilt; no more fear or stress; no more resentment, period.

Be reminded, “God saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit…Because of His mercy He made us right in His sight! (Titus 3:4-7)” “The key to the Christian life is not effort. It is union [with Jesus].” —Derek Prince

“Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ… (Rom. 8:1; see also John 3:17; 8:10-11; Col. 1:13-23; 1 John 3:20)”

“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? (Rom. 8:32)” “God changes not. (Malakai 3:6)” The blood of Jesus covers sin, including the ones that wound us. There is so much power in the Gospel!

God’s prescription, detailed in another section, will provide practical, crystal-clear direction on how to appropriate—take possession of—God’s promised blessings and benefits that He has paid for in full. Understand our need to appropriate what Jesus has already paid for HERE

God has given you all the authority you need to live victoriously!

Jesus is crystal clear: “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven…If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them. (Matt. 18:18-20)” Jesus at Luke 10:19: “Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.” The "snakes and scorpions" and "all the power of the enemy" refer to demon powers primarily, although immunity from any harm of vicious animals and from poisons is also promised (Ps. 91; Mk. 16:17-18; Acts 28:5). The passage is speaking of devils, Satan, serpents, scorpions, power of the enemy, and spirits. Our Bible says Jesus has been given all authority both in heaven and in earth (Matt. 28:18), and because you are in Him, that authority is yours. Psalms 8:4 declares, “What are mere mortals that you [O Lord] should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority.”

God Meets Your Physical Needs

“I [Jesus] tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. …Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? …O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the unbelievers run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well [by faith—clinging to, trusting in, and reliance].” (Matt. 6:25-33; see also Col. 2:9, 10; 2 Pet. 1:2-4; Isa. 41:10-20; Ps. 23; Lam. 3:24.)

God Meets Your Need to Know That Tomorrow Your Physical Needs Will Be Met

“Take therefore no [stressed] thought for tomorrow. (Matt. 6:34; see also Eph. 2:14-19; Col. 2:9,10; 2 Pet. 1:2-4; Isa. 41:10-20; Ps. 23; Lam. 3:24)”

“Be anxious [stressed] for nothing; but in every thing...let your requests be made known unto God ... My God shall supply all your need according to what you’ve done His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Php. 4:6, 19; Col. 2:9, 10; 2 Pet. 1:2-4; Ps. 23; Isa. 41:10-20; Lam. 3:24)”

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you. (1 Peter 5:7; Isa. 41:10-20)”

God Meets Your Need for Emotional, Mental, and Physical Wellness

“Beloved, I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2)”

“Jesus personally carried away your sins in His body to the cross so you can be rid of sin and live the right way; by His stripes [wounds] you were healed. (1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:5)”

God paid for and provided for your healing when Jesus went to the cross. In fact, medical science has grouped all sickness and disease into 39 categories, and Jesus took 39 stripes on His body in exchange for your bodily healing! (Deut. 25:3; Josephus, Antiq. lib. iv. ch. viii. sec. 21; Mish., Maccoth, fol. 22, 10.) God sacrificed His only Son so all may access what He provided in doing that; already paid-for in full.

Please notice that in all cases of healing in Scripture, no human remedy was used, but spiritual means were used instead. That is all that God has promised, commanded, and provided for people (Gen. 20:17; Ex. 15:26; Isa. 53:4-5; Psalms 103:3; 107:20; Prov. 3:7-8; Matt. 8:15-17; Mark 5:25-34; Jas. 5:14-16; 1 Peter 2:24; HERE).

Forgiveness and healing go hand-in-hand; both paid-for in full, “once and for all,” by Jesus’ sacrificial death.

On the cross, “Surely Jesus took up our issues, and bore our emotional pains. Yet we considered Him punished by God, stricken by Him and afflicted. But He was debased [defiled] for our immoral sins, transgressions, He was crushed for our rebellious sins, iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5)”

“Healing is God’s children’s bread.” (Jesus at Matt. 15:24-28.)

Recall the woman’s testimony at Mark 5:25-34: “Now a certain woman had a health issue (of blood) for twelve years and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was not [authentically] better, but rather grew worse… When she had heard of Jesus…she touched His garment believing and saying that she shall be whole. And immediately…she was healed. …And Jesus said unto her, ‘Daughter [identity language], your faith has made you whole; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.’”

It’s significant to note that the original Greek word that this woman was believing on is sozo, translated whole in that passage and others. That’s the same word Jesus the healer said, sozo, when He said to her, “Your faith has made you whole.” That’s the same original Greek word translated healed when Jesus pronounced to her “be healed of your affliction.” And that’s the same original Greek word translated salvation at Romans 10:9-10 as well as many other New Testament passages. Your salvation includes healing, deliverance, and wholeness in this life and the next! “Jesus never ever changes. (Heb. 13:8)”

Isaiah 61 states: “The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me [Jesus], because the LORD has appointed Me to bring good news to the poor [afflicted]. He has sent Me to comfort [heal] the brokenhearted and to announce that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent Me to tell those who mourn that the time of the LORD's favor has come, and with it, the day of God's anger against their enemies. To all who mourn…He will give beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair. For the LORD has planted them like strong and graceful oaks.

“…Instead of shame and dishonor, you will inherit a double portion of prosperity and everlasting joy.

“‘For I, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and wrongdoing. I will faithfully reward My people for their suffering and make an everlasting covenant with them. Their descendants will be known and honored among the nations. Everyone will realize that they are a people the LORD has blessed.’ (Isaiah 61)”

God Meets Your Need for Security (Unconditional Love)

“God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners [at our worst, exposed for what we really are, no masks], Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:8; see also John 17:23, 26; 2 Pet.1:2-4)”

“God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loves us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)… (Eph. 2:4-5)”

God Has Met Your Need for Meaningful Purpose (Significance)

“For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long, long ago [before time began]. (Eph. 2:10; see also Col. 2:9,10; 2 Pet. 1:2-4; Isa. 43:7; Ps. 23; Lam. 3:24)” And in Jesus, we don’t do a thing for God, but of God.

“The truth is, anyone who believes [relies] on Me [Jesus] will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. (John 14:12; see also Col. 2:9, 10)”

God Meets Your Financial Needs

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might be rich [by faith—clinging to, trusting in, and reliance]. (2 Cor. 8:9)”

“Beloved, I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2 KJV)”

“And this same God who takes care of me [Paul] will supply all your needs from your good deeds His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. (Php. 4:19)”

“The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and He adds no sorrow [painful, laborious toil] with it. (Proverbs 10:22)”

Covenants of Scripture

Covenants Were:

1. Sacred (Joshua 9:18; Galatians 3:15-17)

2. Binding (Joshua 9:18; Galatians 3:15-17)

3. Upheld with penalty for breaking (Leviticus 26; Deut. 28; 2 Samuel 21:1-6; Jeremiah 34:8-22; Ezekiel 17:13-19)

4. Covenants Were Ratified by:

(1) Oaths (Genesis 22:16)

(2) Blood of animals (Genesis 15:9-17; Genesis 31:43-53; Exodus 24:8; Hebrews 9:19-22)

(3) Feasts (Genesis 21:26-31; Genesis 26:30-31; Genesis 31:46,54)

(4) Monuments (Genesis 28:16-22; Genesis 31:43-53)

(5) Raising of the hands (Ezra 10:19; cp. Genesis 14:22)

(6) Pulling off shoes (Ruth 4:7-8)

(7) Blood of Messiah (Christ) (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 9:11-22; Hebrews 13:11-12,20)

Concerning the old covenant, the Ten Commandments written on stone were kept in the ark, which had a mercy-seat on it as a constant reminder of God's presence and of humankind's obligation to obey them (Numbers 10:33; Numbers 14:44; Deut. 10:8; Joshua 3:3-17; etc.).

The new covenant has an eternal ark (Hebrews 8:1-6; Hebrews 9:1-22; Rev. 11:19).

“No, I will not break My covenant; I will not take back a single word I said.” (Psalm 89:34)

“The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all those who keep His covenant and obey His decrees.” (Psalm 25:10)

“For His divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and goodness. And by that same mighty power, He has given to us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these you all might be partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (2 Peter1:3-4) There are 750 promises in the New Testament alone.

Bible Study Offer

God our Father wants His people to know that following Jesus is not a behavior modification program.

It is a heart-healing process led by and accomplished by the healer, Father God, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Father God must have access to our heart — it is the interface with Him, the power of His love, and His Kingdom (His government system). Broken-heartedness inevitably produces inconsistency.

The Adversary makes sure he sets up traumatic events in each of our childhoods to break our hearts ... generally before we're 11 years old. (That's when we're making decisions on how we're going to live our lives.) And he doesn't stop there.

As a result of Father God healing our heart, our thoughts, emotions, language, and behavior change. These changes happen like a fruit tree bears fruit—naturally—with little effort—and in season.

With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and standing on the work of past effective ministers, the owner of this website has composed a Bible study that comprehensively explains this and provides God our Father’s effective personal prescription. It is all in God's word.
