I posted this word below in early 2016 when the majority of us were just waking up to the corrupt systems aligned against us. Who would have thought that the truths I outlined would become so tangible and consequential in just a few years. I encourage you to consider any “covenants” you have made with lesser things and determine to focus on the power of God’s covenant. He always fulfills His promises, but we must do our part in preparing the way…
This is a new season that requires a new perspective and new strategy. I believe the Lord is asking believers to “reset” their hearts and minds in order to properly interpret what is happening around them. There are dark forces at work in the root system of this nation due to unholy alliances and covenants between individuals who seek power and control. These are anti-Christ alliances that have been at work for decades slowly infiltrating our collective mindsets causing widespread deception and unbelief. Though we have rampant immorality in the land, the major problem in this nation is not a morality issue, but a covenant issue.
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. (Deuteronomy 7:9)
God is looking for believers who are free from control and manipulation in order to pray effectively and discern rightly. If we want to walk in the Truth and rightly distinguish between what is of the Spirit, the flesh, or the Devil, we must clear our own hearts of any ungodly alliance, covenant, or soul tie that would hinder our ability to perceive correctly.
Just as we can have soul ties with individuals (Proverbs 22:24-25), so we can have soul ties with organizations, denominations, genders, races, even ideologies that are no longer applicable (see Scriptures below). Some of these alliances may not even be “bad”, yet if we depend upon them for security, reputation, or identity, we must free ourselves from their hold on us. Even good causes can become idols in our lives if we let their influence become greater than the current working of the Holy Spirit. Much of the lack of discernment in the body of Christ right now is because of these types of alliances (agreements), both in mind and spirit, that are keeping many in the dark.
To be specific: if you have pledged allegiance to a certain denomination, the enemy can use that to blind you to any other expression of truth. If you are bound to a particular political party (because of family history or lifelong record) the enemy can use that to limit your ability to see any other perspective. You can also be bound to social issues that keep you so focused on one idea that you are not free to see anything else (social inequalities, racial justice, sexuality, etc.). Causes are not necessarily “wrong”, but they can have a hold on us. If we are not able to adjust to a new perspective because of past affiliations, agreements, or alliances, we are bound and have limited spiritual perception as well as limited spiritual authority in prayer. Until these unhealthy agreements are broken, God’s blessing cannot come.
For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been (I Kings 11:4).
Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces such bitter poison. When such a person hears the words of this oath and they invoke a blessing on themselves, thinking, “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way,” they will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry. (Deuteronomy 29:18-19)
God blesses covenant relationships where parties are walking in obedience to His Word and submitted to His Spirit. Any covenant or alliance that puts the influence of others over and above the Holy Spirit will not only block God’s favor and blessing but also work against it and blind us to His Truth. This is true on a personal level and it is now being played out on the national level.
Here are some prayer points with Scripture that address this issue. Pray these over yourself as well as the nation so that we, as believers, will be truly free to have the mind of Christ, the heart of the Father, and a heavenly, eternal perspective on the days we live in. Renounce any unholy alliance or mindset and declare your allegiance to the Lord Jesus and the Spirit of Truth.
Ask the Lord to help us…

Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. (Psalm 86:11 NIV)

Thank you James for posting this blessed word. Many believers are in dire straits because of such hinderances in accessing blessings of Abraham and new covenant blessings which is our inheritance in Lord Jesus Christ.
