Introduction: The Ark of The Covenant originally is in heaven and still is there. However, God instructed Moses to make an Ark that would be on earth(Exodus 25:8-22), The Ark of the Covenant represented God's Will on Earth as in Heaven(Matt. 6:10;Rev. 11:19).  The Angel on the Ark represented God sitting between the Cherubim(Prayer of Hezekiah -Isa. 37:16-20). The Man of God, Isaiah assured his King, not only has God heard your prayer about the Assyrian King Senacherib(Isa. 37:21; 35-38). God will defend this city for David's his servant's sake.

      On that night, God activated the Ark of the Covenant, one Angel from the Ark, killed, 185,000 Assyrian Soldiers, and that King went back to Assyria and was killed by his sons. This goes to show, You cannot mess with this Covenant((Pillar of Fire By Night-One Angel on Left Side, Pillar of A Cloud By Day-Angel on the right side.).That is why Jesus told the mother of Zebedee's Sons, about her sons sitting on the right and left hand of God in heaven, that it wasn't for him to give(Mark 10:40); because Michael and Gabriel, the Two Archangels( -Cherubims sit on the throne with God dwelling between them in awesome power. You Cannot Mess With This Covenant(Exodus 13:21-22).

        Faith is a Govenant. It is God putting his favor, power, grace, angel and faith upon man and/or nation. When God call a person out he calls them in three parts:Faith, Covenant and Vision. Looking at the Life of Abrahmam; he had all three of these:

                Faith------------Heb. 11:9;Gen. 12:1

                Covenant----Gen. 12:2,3

                Vision---------Gen. 15:1

Whatever you do in life, don't break rank with this covenant. The covenant; especially when you know by means of the Holy Spirit; you can activate the Ark of the Covenant in your heart and mind(John 6:63; Romn. 4:17).

             Faith Helps you deal with anxiety, covenant helps you deal with stress, and vision helps you deal with depression. Five types of people who can ruin your church are people who don't respect the Covenant:

              Disobedient People---Put a limit on God

              Liars---------------------Imitate the truth and power of God

              Haters----------------------Replace God

              Hypocrites/Critics-----Ridicule God

              The Proud/Pious------Dictiate To God

That would be some church.There are church cliques and political systems who have an evil plan:

              Set you up-------------------Curses

              Shut you in-----------------Breakdown

              Shut you out---------------Loss

              Shut you down-----------Failure

              Shut you from------------Calamity

But all it takes is for five strong people who are:

              Obedient----Break the Curse------Covenant

              Love----------Destroy Calamity-----Favor

             Truth----------Breakdown--------------Breakthrough

             Humility------Failure--------------------Success

             Holiness------Loss----------------------Open Door

CONCLUSION: Some unsaved people realize the Covenant of God; better than some believers. That is why, Gamieliel a great teacher of the Law(Acts 5:33) stood up to the Sanhedrin, be careful how you handle this matter(Acts  5:35,38,39) lest you find yourself fighting against God. And I conclude with the words of Gameliel the Pharisee, Don't Mess With This Covenant.
