Galatians 3:11 “….The just shall live by faith.” Do not wait to use faith AFTER sickness, disease and poverty strike.  Begin NOW by meditating the Word so you will be strong in the Lord.  The attacks will still come from the enemy, but YOU WILL BE STRONG.  You will be VICTORIOUS over his attacks.  God would rather His children develop and mature in His Word while everything is going well rather than when the pressure hits.  When your foundation is solid, built on the Word of God, no storm of life will be able to destroy you.  YOU ARE WELL ABLE!

Today’s trivia: Who build the first altar? Hint: Genesis 7-8.

John 15:7 “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”  This is not just a once in a while thing, it is a living communion.  By staying in fellowship with the Father you will be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.  Jesus said that the Spirit of Truth will guide you into all the truth (John 16:13).    You can take control of those things in the spirit before they ever get to you.  Keep the Word before you and take your mind off what you feel, think and see.   Then when the flood comes, your house will be solid and nothing will destroy it because you have made a QUALITY DECISION to stand on God’s Word. When your foundation is solid, built on the Word of God, no storm of life will be able to destroy you. 

Yesterday’s trivia: Noah, Genesis 8:20.

Today’s trivia: What military leader was killed while holding on to the horns of the altar? Hint: 1st Kings 1-3.

Hebrews 4:14 “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens.  Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.”  Fear activates satan the way that faith activates God!

Romans 4:16 “Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all.”  Abraham is the Father of Faith in the Word of God.  He laid hold of the promises of God.  He believed them with all his heart.  He believed them and acted upon them and received the desired results.  When we see someone who has success in an area, it might be a good idea for us to pay attention to what they did so we can get the successful results that they did.  For instance, if you need marriage counseling I don’t believe it is a good idea to go to someone who has been divorced seven times.  No, look for someone who has had a successful marriage and see how they did it.  So, I want to ask you a question today, what do you believe are the TWO MOST IMPORTANT SCRIPTURES IN THE WORD OF GOD? (my answer tomorrow)

Praise team practice tonight at 5:00pm.

Today’s trivia: What king of Judah tore down Jeroboam’s altar at Bethel and pounded the stones into dust?                                                  Hint: 2nd Kings 20-23. 

WOW! YOU ARE NOT ONLY BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING, YOU ARE WELL ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO IN JESUS NAME!

Genesis 1-2, 5, 7-10, 15-16, 19 “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty god; walk before me and be thou perfect (blameless). And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.  And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an EVERLASTING COVENANT, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.  And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.  And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and THY SEED AFTER THEE  in their generations.  This is the covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you AND THY SEED AFTER THEE; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.  And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.  And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.  And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.” (emphasis mine) The covenant (agreement) was the basis for Abraham’s faith.  The Almighty God, Who cannot lie and it is impossible for Him to lie (Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:1`8 which I believe are the two most important Scriptures in the Word), mad a covenant with a man who only had to do what He asked him to do and He would bless and prosper him mightily. In Galatians 3:16 and verse 29, the Word declares that if you are in Christ Jesus, then the promise made to Abraham is yours! SHOUT AMEN SOMEBODY!

Today, there are still tribes that make covenants with each other in other parts of the world.  The covenants are for various purposes, of course, and the covenant is only as good as the tribe’s word.  In times past if one tribe member broke their word the other tribe would literally hunt them down and kill them.  Covenants were a very serious thing.  People are only as good as their words.  If their word is not good, they can’t be trusted.  If we are not in the habit of keeping our words, then it is almost impossible to trust God and His Word. Can I get an ‘oh-me?’

Yesterday’s trivia: Moses, Exodus 17:15.

Today’s trivia: What kind of stone was, according to the Law, not supposed to be used in making an altar? Hint: Ex. 18-20.

Proverbs 25:19 “Confidence is an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.” 

Have you ever tried to eat with a bad tooth or walk on a broken foot?  IT HURTS!!!!  So will trying to depend on an unfaithful man.  God NEVER, NEVER, NEVER breaks one of His Words.  God is faithful to His Word.  If He ever broke His Word (Covenant) He would have to destroy Himself (remember, He said that He swore by Himself). EVERYTHING would become non-existent.  But thank God HE WILL NEVER BREAK HIS WORD..not even to man.  It is impossible for God to lie…He won’t do it….GOD IS FAITHFUL!  We need to get that fixed in our hearts! And practice keeping our words. 

ARE YOU GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY?

God is a covenant-keeping God.   Remember this covenant with Abraham was an everlasting covenant; not unless I change My mind covenant.  God means what He says and says what He means.  We need to practice doing that ourselves.

Abraham knew about covenants.  The people in his day practiced them.  Abraham knew Who he was in covenant with…ALMIGHTY GOD!  Abraham did try to get God to do things his way.  He tried to convince the Lord to go ahead and bless Ishmael his son through Hagar his concubine.   Abraham and Sarah even laughed about the idea about them having a child together, because he was ninety-nine and she was ninety years old.  However, God said I will bless Ishmael, BUT THE PROMISE IS THROUGH ISAAC. God doesn’t change His Word.

Praise the Lord for His Presence in our service yesterday…..GOD IS SOOOOO GOOD!

We’re back sorry for our server being down, we all probably have this “love/hate” relationship with computers. Having said that, let’s see what the Lord has for YOU today as we continue in looking at God’s covenant and Abraham.

Abraham was in covenant with God, which was his basis for faith.  Now, let’s look at what Abraham did to obtain the promise of God. 

Hebrews 4:17-21 “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations.)  Before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.  Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet they deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith giving glory to God;  And being fully persuaded that, what he (God) had promised, he was able also to perform.

I believe that we can glean loads of information from these Scriptures, however I would like to point out that Abraham did FOUR THINGS to obtain the promise made to him. 

NUMBER ONE: He had the Promise of God regarding the matter. In verse 17 it says: “As it is written….” It is important that we have the promise of God regarding our situations.  If we do not, then we have no basis for faith. (to be continued)

Tonight: Praise and Worship team practice @5:00pm, followed by WARFARE ON WEDNESDAY @7:00pm
