A contract is broken by failure and depends on performance. A covenant is kept by love. God made a COVENANT with you. Not a contract. He keeps His word regardless of your performance.
BERITH comes from the root BARA meaning TO CUT. Both parties cut animals in half, laid the pieces out, and walked between them declaring: if I break this covenant. May this happen to me. The most binding agreement in the ancient world.
Genesis 15:17.18. A smoking oven and a burning torch passed between the pieces. That was GOD. Abraham was asleep. God walked through alone. This is the mystery of grace. God signed the covenant by Himself on your behalf.
You cannot be faithful enough to earn it. You cannot pray enough to deserve it. You cannot perform enough to qualify for it. God already signed the covenant. Your name is already on the other side. That is the revelation.
Step 1. Position yourself. Get into right standing. Step 2. Stand still and rest. The Hebrew word YATSAB means to set yourself firmly and wait. Step 3. Sing and praise. As they praised. God set ambushes against the enemy and God's people spent three days gathering the plunder.
YATSAB means to place yourself firmly and wait. Not passive waiting. Firm, expectant, rested waiting. When you are in a place of rest you can hear God. When you are in panic you cannot. This is why rest is a covenant weapon.
They remembered the encounter with Jesus Christ when He gave them the key to dismantling the spirit of worry. In that encounter Jesus danced with Gaius and said: whenever you are going through any situation. And it should be a life style. Just dance! So they gathered the bills and danced on them as an act of faith and covenant.
They prayed and called the same office. A lady answered. She told them exactly what they needed and faxed that document. When they called back to confirm, they were told no one by that name works at that location. Because an angel sat at that desk.
Jehovah Jireh means The Lord My Provider. He sees your need and has already prepared the provision. When you call on this name you are not saying a nice title. You are invoking God's covenanted nature as your Provider. He cannot deny His own name.
God is OBLIGATED to provide for you not because of your performance but because of the covenant He signed alone. He walked between the pieces in Genesis 15. He is bound by His own nature. He cannot deny Himself. The deal is done.
