A BETTER COVENANT.

But now hath be obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of the better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
HEBREW 8:6

All through the Old Testament, we find men who understood and took their place in the covenant Joshua could open River of Jordan. He could command time to stand still. Elijah could bring fire out of heaven to consume not only the sacrifice, but the altar as well David's mighty men were utterly shielded from death in time of war as long as they remembered the covenant. When read about them, you think you're reading about "supermen." Nearly all the prayer in the Old Testament  were prayed  by covenant men. Those prayers had to be answered.
   The believer today has the same covenant rights as believers who lived
Under the Old Covenant, in fact, we have better covenant established upon better promises. Therefore, we ought to be able to do all that they did and more, because we have a New better covenant, established on greater promised.
