Scripture: Genesis 12:14-17

                Is God really willing to war on our behalf?  He promised Abraham He would.  Genesis 12:14-17 states, “So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful. The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh’s house. He treated Abram well for her sake. He had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels. But the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.”  God went to war for Abram even when Abram was not totally truthful with Pharaoh.  But because of the covenant, He went to war and Sarai was restored.  The covenant we have with God is the foundation of everything that we do.    Ignorance of the covenant in the last days will stop the church from being all it is called to be.  We cannot afford to be ignorant.
