BLESSED IN BINDING COVENANTS

My Dear Precious Child, When Abimelech met Isaac, someone whom he perceived would be evil, Isaac asked him who he was and where he came from. Abimelech told Isaac that he had seen that I was "with Isaac", so therefore they could have an oath between them upon which to make a covenant because they were both determined to do good in their lives. (Genesis 26:28) That is the basis upon which My children can make friends and fellowship with people who seem to be of a different "tribe". When there is an effort to do good and to refuse to do evil between two people or denominations or nationalities, then that is a sound basis upon which you can worship and fellowship together by swearing an oath to be loyal to each other, thus making a covenant with them. (Genesis 26:27-28) Abimelech said that it was clear that Isaac and his tribe would not hurt Abimelech's people because they had not even touched them and had done nothing to them but good actions and they had sent them away in peace. He said that Isaac's people had been blessed by Me, so they would make an agreement or a covenant to live in peace with each other. As a result, Abimelech made a feast and they ate and drank together. (Genesis 26:29-30) That story is a good example of your relationship with other believers in Me who may not have the same doctrines of belief. Jesus said later during his ministry that if people are not against you then they are for you and worthy of your making a covenant with them by swearing an oath not to hurt them. (Luke 9:47-50) The devil seeks to divide but I seek to unite. There are people of Abraham's family who have not accepted the ministry of Jesus Christ as being the Messiah, but yet they are in unity with Me and My prophesies of the coming of the Messiah. You can be in unity with those people because of their unity with Me. However, the Pharisees, Sadduces and priests are often hypocritical and ignorant of the truth about the coming of the Messiah and His ministry of Love, so they opposed Jesus as My son and still do. Unity with those children of Abraham's fleshly heritage must be approached with wisdom and truth as your guide or you will be deceived and poisoned with the lies of returning to the Jewish Law as a means of salvation when you know that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. My Holy Spirit will alert you to the danger of being in unity with people who are closely united to truth but are deceived by false prophets. However, there are believers who do not attest to the ministry of My Holy Spirit who are still seeking Him and have not bound themselves to false prophets. It is easy for you to become in unity with those people because of the elements of a covenant being that you will not hurt them and they will not hurt you, that your relationship is based on truth and on Me. My Holy Spirit of discernment will alert you to people with whom it is safe to share in the Good News, even if it is their belief that it is still to come. He will let you know the people who will not hurt you and the ones whose purposes are to hurt you. That's what He does is protect and provide your daily bread of truth. Your Father of All Truth
