Here in the prayer wall we talk a lot about Israel. We do this not only because Israel is a close ally with the USA, but also more importantly because the nation of Israel is very important to God. God made a covenant with Abraham thousands of years ago, and Scripture proves throughout its pages that the Jewish people have a special place in God’s heart.

This theory, called “replacement theology,” It says that God replaced the children of Israel the Jewish people with the Body of Christ, making Christians His covenant people instead of the Jewish people being God’s covenant people.

Here’s why the Jewish people were never replaced: The Bible is full of story after story about how Israel loved God, then stopped loving Him. They were faithful to God, then they cheated on Him with idols. This broke God’s heart over and over, but He didn’t abandon His children of Israel. That’s why He told the prophet Hosea to go marry a prostitute. Then to go find her and take her back when she cheated on him. Through Hosea, God was showing the world a picture of how faithful He is to His covenant children, even when they were unfaithful.

When His people were unfaithful to Him, Scripture records that God did something about it. Yes, He disciplined them and corrected them. But, He also took a trick out of His sleeve that defeated the devil. God always has the last say so!

I created them with free will, so I’m going to let them make their own decisions. But, I’m going to work it all out for the best in the long run. In order to work it out for good, I will add additional people to this covenant who DO want Me. I have the legal right to do that, since My original people don’t care about My covenant and have not been faithful to Me!

That way, ALL the people on earth who want Me can have Me, through My Son; and they can ALL have the benefits and blessings of the same covenant that I gave Abraham and his children. That way, I’ll get all My children as My inheritance, even though the devil tried to steal them. I’ll end up with more faithful children than ever before.”

I know that’s just modern day vernacular, but that is basically a paraphrase from the book of Romans. The book of Romans tells us that we Christians are only grafted into the covenant of blessing that God gave Abraham. God didn’t get rid of the original covenant; He just added more people us Christians to it. And it’s a curse to believe otherwise.

Have you ever had someone speak mean words to you, telling you that you AREN’T something that you actually ARE? For example: If you’re a talented visual artist, have you ever had someone tell you that you can’t draw or paint? If you have ninja-level planning skills, have you ever had someone tell you that you AREN’T gifted in administration at all?

Yes, that’s right. When someone tells you that you aren’t something which you actually are, they are pronouncing judgment on you based on a lie. They are actually speaking a curse over you; and, unless you verbally reject that curse, refuse to come into agreement with it, and pray it off to break it, then you will be impacted by that curse.

When God sent Abram–who later became Abraham–out of his homeland and into the land of promise, God spoke a blessing over him. He also appeared to Abram/Abraham on multiple other occasions to make him covenants and promises. Those promises and covenants assured Abraham that he and his descendants were God’s special people, chosen and set apart as God’s inheritance. It was not a covenant of salvation, but it was a covenant of blessing. And through the covenant God made with Abraham, He assured Abraham that His covenant would continue through the line of Isaac, Abraham’s son of promise. God placed His blessing on His people forever through the line of Abraham. He said that He would bless those who bless Abraham, and curse those who curse Abraham.

Beloved, We must not forget that we are only grafted in. If you are a Christian, God has made you a spiritual Jew. As the apostle Paul wrote under divine inspiration in Romans 2:29: For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God Romans 2:29 Jesus is still the only way to salvation. But we receive His blessings because we have been added into His covenant of blessing the covenant He originally gave to Abraham. You were grafted into that covenant the moment you believed in Jesus. And while every person on earth can still ONLY be saved by believing in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, as the apostle Peter preached in Acts 4:12

So, my Beloved, I urge you today: be careful with your tongue. Be careful whose narrative you believe. Be wary of propaganda and utterly reject replacement theology, for the enemy roams the earth like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. What better way to devour than to get people to bring curses down upon their own heads by convincing them to speak falsehoods against the children of Abraham? The enemy is a liar, a thief, and a trickster. And he is stealing, killing, and destroying many Christian’s lives because he has successfully gotten them to believe in replacement theology.
