God’s Covenant Promise
A covenant is a serious binding agreement, sealed
in blood, between God and His people. From the
beginning of time, God has been a covenant-keeping
God. In Deuteronomy we read, “Know therefore that
the LORD your God, he is God, the faithful God,
which keeps covenant and mercy with them that
love him (7:9a).
In Hebrews, we read that Moses “sprinkled both
the book, and all the people, saying, This
is the blood of the testament which God has
enjoined unto you (9:19b,20).
God's covenant promises greatly exceed the value
of any other promises. A promise points to the
future. Covenant promises point to the future based
on Jesus’ completed redemptive work in the past. By
His death and the shedding of His precious blood,
Jesus made possible our complete restoration to all
that we have lost through sin. A covenant promise is
a promise that has the intrinsic ability to bring faith
because it is based on a completed work. It is an
absolute truth that is assured by the covenant-
keeping power of His blood.
5
God’s Word is certain. God’s Word is true.
Whatever God has promised He will do. God's
covenant promises have been sealed by the precious
blood of His own Son. His Words have been exalted
to a place of unequaled, overcoming value by the
application of His own precious blood. The absolute
trustworthiness of these promises go far beyond the
limitations of mere words. They are God's holy,
inspired, unfailing, unchangeable covenant.
God's Word is alive and powerful. It cannot fail.
As you read, meditate and declare God's covenant
promises, faith will leap into your spirit. You will
boldly receive the substance, evidence, manifestation
and reality of God's covenant promises into your life.
If you have not yet entered into a covenant
relationship with God, you can do it now by praying
the following prayer:
Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner.
Thank you for sending your Son Jesus to die on
the cross to pay the penalty of my sin. I renounce
my past life of sin. I accept Jesus as my personal
Savior. Jesus, come into my life and make me a
new person. Thank you for forgiving me and
cleansing me from all of my sin. Thank you for
saving me and bringing me into covenant
relationship with you through your precious
blood.

God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

that are alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness
unto God.

yourselves servants to obey, his servants
you are to whom you obey; whether of sin
unto death, or of obedience unto

in you. John 14:16,17

unto you. John 16:7

what is the mind of the Spirit, because he
makes intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
Romans 8:26,27
My Guide
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for
he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he
~ 57 ~57
speak: and he will show you things to
come. John 16:13
58
contrary the one to the other: so that you
cannot do the things that you would.
But if you be led of the Spirit, you are
not under the law. Galatians 5:16,17,18

say.

the same hour what you ought to say.

Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth. Acts 1:4,5,8

~ 67 ~67

the law is light; and reproofs of instruction
are the way of life: Proverbs 6:22,23

way which you shall go: I will guide you
with mine eye. Psalm 32:8
~ 69 ~69

Ghost. II Peter 1:20,21

toward us: and the truth of the LORD
endures for ever. Praise you the LORD.

My Absolute Authority
And that from a child you have known
the holy scriptures, which are able to
make you wise unto salvation through
faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
72
That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good
works. II Timothy 3:15-17
~ 73 ~73

please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

~ 75 ~75
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper. Psalms 1:1,2,3
Messenger Angels
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them: and they were
sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not:
for, behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luke 2:8-10
~ 77 ~77
And when Zacharias saw him, he was
troubled, and fear fell upon him.
But the angel said unto him, Fear not,
Zacharias: for your prayer is heard; and
your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son,
and you shall call his name John.
And Zacharias said unto the angel,
Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old
man, and my wife well stricken in years.
And the angel answering said unto
him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the
presence of God; and am sent to speak
unto you, and to show you these glad
tidings. Luke 1:11-13,18,19
78
said unto him, your prayers and your
alms are come up for a memorial before
God.
And now send men to Joppa, and call
for one Simon, Whose surname is Peter:
Acts 10:3,4,5
Ministering Angels
And there appeared an angel unto him
from heaven, strengthening him.
Luke 22:43
~ 79 ~79
But to which of the angels said he at
any time, Sit on my right hand, until I
make your enemies your footstool?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent
forth to minister for them who shall be
heirs of salvation? Hebrews 1:13,14
80
And he said unto me, The LORD, before
whom I walk, will send his angel with
you, and prosper your way; Genesis 24:40a
~ 81 ~81
THE ANGELS ARE:
Warrior Angels
And there was war in heaven: Michael
and his angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that
old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceives the whole world: he was
cast out into the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him. Revelation 12:7-9
82
ments, hearkening unto the voice of his
word. Psalm 103:20
~ 83 ~83
And the LORD sent an angel, which cut
off all the mighty men of valor, and the
leaders and captains in the camp of the
king of Assyria. II Chronicles 32:21a
SATAN IS:
My Enemy
Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion
walks about, seeking whom he may
devour.
Whom resist steadfast in the faith,
I Peter 5:8,9a
84
which accused them before our God day
and night. Revelation 12:10
~ 85 ~85
And these are they by the way side,
where the word is sown; but when they
have heard, Satan cometh immediately,
and takes away the word that was sown in
their hearts. Mark 4:15
Defeated
Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he also
himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him
86
that had the power of death, that is, the
devil; Hebrews 2:14
And having spoiled principalities and
powers, he made a show of them openly,
triumphing over them in it. Colossians 2:15
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan
under your feet shortly. Romans 16:20a
Put on the whole amour of God, that
you may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil.
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. Ephesians 6:11,12
~ 87 ~87
For I am persuaded, that neither death,
not life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to
come
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord. Romans 8:37-39

~ 89 ~89
Marriage
And the LORD God said, It is not good
that the man should be alone; I will make
him an help meet for him. Genesis 2:18
90
the husband has not power of his own
body, but the wife. I Corinthians 7:2-4
Husband to Wife
For the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the church:
and he is the savior of the body.
Ephesians 5:23
92
For no man ever yet hated his own
flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even
as the Lord the church;
For we are members of his body, of his
flesh, and of his bones.
For this cause shall a man leave his
father and mother, and shall be joined
unto his wife, and they two shall be one
flesh. Ephesians 5:25,28-31
93
But if any provide not for his own, and
specially for those of his own house, he
has denied the faith, and is worse than an
infidel. I Timothy 5:8
Wife to Husband
Who can find a virtuous woman? for
her price is far above rubies.
94
The heart of her husband doth safely
trust in her, so that he shall have no need
of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all
the days of her life. Proverbs 31:10-12
For after this manner in the old time the
holy women also, who trusted in God,
adorned themselves, being in subjection
unto their own husbands: I Peter 3:5
That they may teach the young women
to be sober, to love their husbands, to love
their children
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home,
good, obedient to their own husbands,
that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Titus 2:4,5
95
give none occasion to the adversary to
speak reproachfully. I Timothy 5:14
96
Unsaved Spouse
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
you shall be saved, and your house.
Acts 16:31
97
And the woman which has an husband
that believeth not, and if he be pleased to
dwell with her, let her not leave him.
For the unbelieving husband is
sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving
wife is sanctified by the husband: else
were your children unclean; but now are
they holy.
But if the unbelieving depart, let him
depart. A brother or a sister is not under
bondage in such cases: but God has called
us to peace.
For what knows thou, O wife, whether
you shall save your husband? Or how
knows thou, O man, whether you shall
save your wife? I Corinthians 7:12-16
98
Cast your burden upon the LORD, and
he shall sustain you: he shall never suffer
the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22
Children
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and
forbid them not, to come unto me: for of
such is the kingdom of heaven.

LORD. Isaiah 54:1

age, because she judged him faithful who
had promised. Hebrews 11:11
Unsaved Children
Train up a child in the way he should
go: and when he is old, he will not depart
from it. Proverbs 22:6
103
Even so it is not the will of your Father
which is in heaven, that one of these little
ones should perish. Matthew 18:14
105
Parent to Child
And these words, which I command
you this day, shall be in your heart:
And you shall teach them diligently
unto your children, and shall talk of them
when you sits in your house, and when
you walks by the way, and when you lies
down, and when you rises up.
And you shall bind them for a sign
upon your hand, and they shall be as
frontlets between your eyes.
And you shall write them upon the
posts of your house, and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9
106
Train up a child in the way he should
go: and when he is old, he will not depart
from it. Proverbs 22:6
107
And whoso shall receive one such little
child in my name received me.
But whoso shall offend one of these
little ones which believe in me, it were
better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and that he were
drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:2-6
Child to Parent
Children, obey your parents in the
Lord: for this is right.
Honor your father and mother; which is
the first commandment with promise;
That it may be well with you, and you
may live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:1-3
108
Honor your father and your mother:
that your days may be long upon the land
which the LORD your God gives you.
Exodus 20:12
Discipline
For I know him, that he will command
his children and his household after him,
110
and they shall keep the way of the LORD,
to do justice and judgment; that the LORD
may bring upon Abraham that which he
has spoken of him. Genesis 18:19
111
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a
child left to himself brings his mother to
shame.
Correct your son, and he shall give you
rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your
soul. Proverbs
29:15,17
Abortion
For you have possessed my reins: you
have covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise you; for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made: marvelous are your
works; and that my soul knows right well.
My substance was not hid from you,
when I was made in secret, and curiously
wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Child Abuse
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kills
the prophets, and stones them which are
sent unto you, how often would I have
gathered your children together, even as a
115
hen gathers her chickens under her wings,
and you would not! Matthew 23:37
116
But whoso shall offend one of these
little ones which believe in me, it were
better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and that he were
drowned in the depth of the sea.
Woe unto the world because of
offences! for it must needs be that offences
come; but woe to that man by whom the
offence cometh! Matthew 18:5-7

Working Women
Who can find a virtuous woman? for
her price is far above rubies.
She seeks wool, and flax, and works
willingly with her hands.
She considers a field, and buys it: with
the fruit of her hands she plants a
vineyard.
She perceives that her merchandise is
good: her candle goes not out by night.
She makes fine linen, and sells it; and
delivers girdles unto the merchant.
Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain:
but a woman that fears the LORD, she
shall be praised. Proverbs 31:10,13,16,18,30

age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
Psalms 92:13,14
127
For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep
in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of
the Lord, that we which are alive and
remain unto the coming of the Lord shall
not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with
these words. I Thessalonians 4:14-18
129
Divorce
They say unto him, Why did Moses
then command to give a writing of
divorcement, and to put her away?
He says unto them, Moses because of
the hardness of your hearts suffered you
to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so. Matthew 19:7,8
But I say unto you, That whosoever
shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication, causes her to commit
adultery: and whosoever shall marry her
that is divorced commits adultery.
Matthew 5:32
For the woman which has an husband
is bound by the law to her husband so
long as he lives; but if the husband be
dead, she is loosed from the law of her
husband.
130
So then if, while her husband lives, she
be married to another man, she shall be
called an adulteress: but if her husband be
dead, she is free from that law; so that she
is no adulteress, though she be married to
another man. Romans 7:2,3
131
For the unbelieving husband is
sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving
wife is sanctified by the husband: else
were your children unclean; but now are
they holy.
But if the unbelieving depart, let him
depart. I Corinthians 7:10-15a

thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God.

minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6,7
257~ 257 ~
And why take you thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of
the field, which to day is, and to morrow
is cast into the oven, shall he not much
more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?
(For after all these things do the
Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knows that you have need of all these
things.
But seek you first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:25-27,29-33

thereby many be defiled; Hebrews 12:14,15
259~ 259 ~
Thou have neither part nor lot in this
matter: for your heart is not right in the

thought of your heart may be forgiven
you.
For I perceive that you are in the gall of
bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

will uphold you with the right hand of my
righteousness. Isaiah 41:10
283~ 283 ~
Frustration
When the waves of death compassed
me, the floods of ungodly men made me
afraid;
The sorrows of hell compassed me
about; the snares of death prevented me;
In my distress I called upon the LORD,
and cried to my God: and he did hear my
voice out of his temple, and my cry did
enter into his ears.
Then the earth shook and trembled; the
foundations of heaven moved and shook,
because he was wroth.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and

my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

believe; help you mine unbelief.

the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned.

believe; In my name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they
drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and
they shall recover. Mark 16:14-18
Worry
335~ 335 ~
Therefore I say unto you, Take no
thought for your life, what you shall eat;
neither for the body, what you shall put
on.
The life is more than meat, and the
body is more that raiment.
Consider the ravens: for they neither
sow nor reap; which neither have
storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them:
how much more are you better than the
fowls?
And which of you with taking thought
can add to his stature one cubit?
If you then be not able to do that thing
which is least, why take you thought for
the rest?
Consider the lilies how they grow: they
toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto
you, that Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
If then God so clothe the grass, which is
today in the field, and tomorrow is cast
into the oven; how much more will he
clothe you, O you of little faith?

339~ 339 ~
Comfort
Blessed are they that mourn: for they
shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4

Love
For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
355~ 355 ~
Herein is love, not that we loved God,
but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be
the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought
also to love one another.
No man has seen God at any time. If we
love one another, God dwells in us, and
his love is perfected in us.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love
casts out fear: because fear has torment.
He that fears is not made perfect in love.
We love him, because he first loved us.
And this commandment have we from
him, That he who loves God love his
brother also. I John 4:10-12,18,19,21
357~ 357 ~
Longsuffering
The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such
there is no law. Galatians 5:22,23
359~ 359 ~
Preach the word; be instant in season,
out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine.

and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I
say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14
361~ 361 ~
Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,

is set before us, Hebrews 12:1

law: and nothing shall offend them.

When a man's ways please the LORD,
he makes even his enemies to be at peace

Fear you not; for I am with you: be not
dismayed; for I am your God: I will
strengthen you; yea, I will help you; yea, I
will uphold you with the right hand of my
righteousness. Isaiah 41:10
Temperance
And every man that strives for the
mastery is temperate in all things. Now
they do it to obtain a corruptible crown;
but we an incorruptible.
But I keep under my body, and bring it
into subjection: lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others, I myself
should be a castaway. I Corinthians 9:25,27
367~ 367 ~
And beside this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to
temperance patience; and to patience
godliness; II Peter 1:5,6

Blessed is he whose transgression is

A fool utters all his mind: but a wise
man keeps it in till afterwards.
Proverbs 29:11
377~ 377 ~
Spend Time in His Word
All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good
works. II Timothy 3:16,17
379~ 379 ~
For the commandment is a lamp; and
the law is light; and reproofs of instruction
are the way of life: Proverbs 6:22,23

glory shall be seen upon you.
And the Gentiles shall come to your
light, and kings to the brightness of your
rising. Isaiah 60:1-3

hearken diligently unto the voice of the
LORD your God, to observe and to do all

you, and overtake you,

389~ 389 ~
and do those things that are pleasing in
his sight. I John 3:22
Walk in Fellowship
Truly our fellowship is with the Father,
and with his Son Jesus Christ.
If we say that we have fellowship with
him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do
not the truth:
If we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship one with
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanses us from all sin. I John 1:3a,6,7

coming of the Lord. Behold, the
husbandman waits for the precious fruit
of the earth, and has long patience for it,
until he receive the early and latter rain.
Be you also patient; establish your
hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws
nigh. James 5:7,8
Live by Faith
Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Through faith we understand that the
worlds were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:1,3
401~ 401 ~
Jesus said unto him, If you canst
believe, all things are possible to him that
believeth. Mark 9:23

Put on the whole amour of God, that
you may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil.
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.
Wherefore take unto you the whole
amour of God, that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith you shall be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and
the sword of the Spirit, which is the word
of God: Ephesians 6:10-17
409~ 409 ~
Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword?
Nay, in all these things we are more
than conquerors through him that loved
us. Romans 8:35,37
411~ 411 ~
God's Plan of Salvation
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered
into the world, and death by sin;
Romans 5:12a
For all have sinned, and come short of
the glory of God; Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
