Making a New Start (A New Start)

It is a new start. I got stopped at 3 and first one and I'm reading from the King James version, which says to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven This is a starting point today, although we're not going to spend a lot of time on there, but whether it's good or bad or indifferent to everything, there is a season. Time is finite here on Earth, we have different seasons. So stages in life in so many different ways and tons of age. For example, baby toddler teenager right through to old age and to each seasonal, stay there is purpose. We can look at season's end times about working life and retirement such as we do, however, need to learn to live with eternity in mind. We serve a God who is beyond time his love and his word is eternal and two invites us to spend eternity with him. God's love for us is eternal as said so, repeatedly throughout the Bible, including in Psalms 136, if you read that in the Holman Christian Standard Bible, he left us before time began. He chose us before the creation of the world as it says in Ephesians 1, buses for 25. I got to read this from the message version. Long before he laid down as Foundation. He had us in mind that special don't know as the focus of his love to be made whole and holy by his love. Long long ago. He decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ his son. Jesus death on the cross was all punishment for Austin that he took upon himself as it says, for example, in Romans 3 verse 25. Fitness simply choices that we make the praise. The Lord of love. Love God, love others. Love yourself. When Jesus rose again in picture of a death, which then brought into this world on the Depo. This victory was a tunnel train. We get to share in this Victory when we all seek Jesus to be Lord Of My Life. In John 3:16 in the end, I say we have adjusted five a very well-known with us for God. So loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish be destroyed fraternity, but have eternal life. If you've never invited the Lord into your heart and ask Jesus to be Lord of your life. Now it's a good time. You don't have to wait until you feel good enough. You never will. You don't have to wait for anything. Come, so you all enough, Jesus, quite simply to forgive you for all the wrong things you've ever done and thank him that he has already paid the price for them. If you say out loud, Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart, that God raised him from the dead. Then you'll be safe from a channel that I guess I haven't forever when your life is over. It's that simple. Life when suddenly be perfect. Now that you have your maker, The God, Who created the whole universe, including mankind, the guy G3, Life by Price, which is talk. And next thing to him, but they said idea, I'm through his was, the Bible, which like him, it's a tunnel. I'm by his Holy Spirit, who now lives in. So, I G. Yeah, I need in this life is change. It's all God. Who is love never changes as it says, for example, in Malachi 3, verse 6, The biggest, the most important you saw will ever make its inviting Jesus into a heart. The Lord led me to the story of Abraham in the Old Testament, which was the start of his relationship with the one true God, this took place approximately 2000 years BC. His father Tara meant to go to Canaan. Broadly speaking, if I understand it, in terms of more than geography kind and with the land which included Israel as well as parts of Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. Sara took his son, Abraham and his wife, Sarah and blocked his grandson by his lights on her arm. It says in Genesis 11:30. Won't she get out from school? Are the Chaldeans to go to Canaan but when they came to her, run they settled. I wondered whether her and was named after Sarah's son, according to one source of found on the internet and Hebrew, the spelling of the place named does very slightly for the hustle. apparently the place named coming, talk this more likely to mean road across tried on the puzzle name means Mountain, if it might be helpful one night for Christmas, Sarah's plan was to get to Canaan, but there's no indication as to why, oh, why they stopped where they did. This brings us to the primary passage for today. Genesis 12 vs 12 full reader from the new King James version, that's Genesis 12 verses 1 to 4 Now the Lord said to Abraham from your family and from your father's house to Orlando. So I will show you I will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and I will cut him because if you and then you all the families of the Earth shall be blessed. The Atrium deposited at the Lord has spoken to him and lot went with him and Abraham was 75 years old when he departed from Haram Summerfest pointed. It was God's idea for a run to make this new stop. Abraham Abraham didn't make such a radical change to his life and that of his family on a whim or because he was bored. In Genesis 12 verse one, it says now the Lord had said to Abraham that's not your country from your family and from your father's house to Atlanta. So I will show you I believe that the Lord is saying, sometimes I speak to people in different ways about change. It might be a sense of dissatisfaction, with the status quo with life, carrying on, as normal, and the need for New Beginning. you can check whether it's me or not in many ways, for example, through prayer, both talking and listening to me, the states that are generally talking than listening to me, because they don't expect me to reply, I always will. Sometimes I reply immediately. Sometimes you'll hit me later. And sometimes, for example, the reply will come in a change of circumstances that occur sometime later. There's always a reason for my timing, you don't always need to know it. Sometimes I speak to people free reading my what? John 1:1 in the Amplified version says in the beginning Before Time with the word Christ, and the Word was with God. And the Word was God himself. When people take the time to read my word, that taking time with me, I take that personally, it gives me real pleasure. Not trying out speak to him through it. I cannot be separated from my word. You may not feel like you've had me particularly full-time, like something left of the page at you. Every time you read my word, but it doesn't always need to to feed you. I'm glad you're thinking. There are many different ways that I speak to people. I am the creation of all things and I know each of you intimately and completely and I understand J. That's why I speak to you the way that I J. Genesis 12:1. Now the Lord said to Abram country from your family and from your father's house to a land that I will show you. it was a huge move and you stop away from the family, home guilty because God had told him Yeah, I know if he called your background Study Bible make some really interesting points about this. One reason, God my headphones die from to leave behind his City, his country, his people, and his father's household, it's because that will worship tended to be National City guards, in other words country, but clammed old people or ancestral girls. In other words, ancestors who were believed to have taken place in the Divine weld in severing. These ties, Abram would have had a brown would have had with other deities, the one true God, cuz I'm still the resulting Floyd as he only got a brown wood made. I believe that the Lord is saying and you saw can be big and permanent, it can be a minor change and temporary and everything in between I love to be involved in a little bit. Sometimes I will more obviously initiate things than others but I would never initiate anything that contradicts my word. Some of you thinking that's really basic, but keeping my word. First place old times in your heart is a work-in-progress for all of you. You have committed yourself to me. 9. My word is the starting point living at out, is what the hell you spirit is that to help you with. And you stopped can be as simple as little Cheese's of my stuff again. I'm so sorry. Please wipe the Slate clean with your blood that you showed me on the cross when you took the punishment for my sins and died, please help me to live for you. I'm we all need to do that pretty regularly. Same way. There's someone that's named, who is facing a very big change. This is not about making, it's not that choice and isn't something that they want to J. I believe that the Lord is saying to you. Be strong and take her and wait for the Lord that song 27 verse 14 in the NIV, the whole the whole bus in the Amplified translation rate weight for a expect, the Lord be strong and Let Your Heart. Take courage. Yes, wait for confident, Lee expect the Lord, when you wake your strong because my Christ, my favor, and loving, kindness and mercy. My grace is sufficient for you. For my power is made. Perfect in weakness. That's two Corinthians. 9:12 in the NIV in the passion translation. What? The Apostle Paul said, you wrote the letter to the Corinthians is written this way. My grace is always more than enough for you and my power Finds Its full expression for your weakness. So I will celebrate my weaknesses. So when I'm weak I sent Modi play The Mighty power of Christ Living in me. The Lord is saying you will find my Everlasting Arms underneath game. I'm not since you trying to be 3327, you will not always feel me that, but I will carry you through this. This will not break you. You will come through to the other side effects.

The Foxhole passage God in this initiative is nice off Abrams, but sometimes you have to do with Nu salt because of decisions made by others. We can trust go to see us 3, Genesis 12 episodes, 1, 2 3. Now the Lord said to Abraham your country from your family. I'm from your father's house to Orlando. So I will show you. I will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and I will cast him who cusses you. And didn't you all the families of the Earth shall be blessed. The lord gave Abrams erection in verse 1 and 2 verse is 223. He made Abramson promises which would result from a France obedience. The nature of those promises would not Abrams idea. It was a little slow jam on my old looked impossible from a natural human perspective but of course nothing is impossible with God at the angel said to Mary and Luke from 37 after announcing to this young virgin that she would give birth to a child. His son Jesus. I believe that the Lord is saying that the agents to me will always bring blessing. It's a consequence of your obedient but sometimes looks great in the hair. Now sometimes the blessing will come after a period of time and there will be more intensive the Eternal reward that you were raped and maybe it'll be a mixture. See but it will always be worth it but I can promise you. Think about this for a minute in times of a brown, I will make you a great nation that promise is ongoing. We have Israel and the Jews. Abraham didn't see it in his lifetime.

What he did say was just a thought about in terms of Isaac the child of Promise, going to Abraham. And his wife Sarah, whose names, the Lord changed to reflect that Destiny's before Isaac was born.

Abraham meaning father of a multitude and Sarah, meaning princess, I'm not going into the whole story of Abraham right now but the Fulfillment of God's promise, a great nation started with just one child. Abraham to bijan's Brook for an amazing inheritance, which he didn't get to see while still on Earth. But was and still is such an important part in God's plan to mankind. We going to receive the results of our agents but it's so precious to God, it still matters. Did the Abraham know, Sarah met, this amazing, an impossible looking promise of God with great faith. In the beginning. In Genesis 17 17, it says the Abraham fell on his face and laughed. a sudden his heart, shall I shall be a hundred years old and she Sarah, who is 90 Sarah had it for herself later. In Genesis 18, she also lost herself. But God didn't break his promise to these people because of that. And I believe I have to say Abraham. Did subsequently got himself? A man of his household. So I can say in Ephesians 2, what cold Bend, but which was all the sea. Nice move thing. Despite Abraham's initial reaction he follows up with radical obedient. But my point is, God, didn't give up on Abraham and Sarah because of their initial reactions to his promise. What I will say that Abraham went from that to watch. It says, and Raymond school bus is 22-21. I'm going to read it from the Christian Standard Bible, That's Romans full 2221. Abraham did not waver in unbelief, but God's promise, but was strengthened in his face and gave glory to God because he was fully convinced that what God has promised. He was also able today, When we are fully convinced that what God has promised in our lives, he's away with today. Also, I feel lost I be strengthened and it's important that we all stick is glory to God before. And after we say his promises come to pass and the classic M25 translation says he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God, this is really helpful because praising God before the Fulfillment of his promises and our life is a show where strengthening outside It's also a sacrifice, but we won't be able to make when we get to heaven, because they'll be no tears, No Pain. No Life.

Yesterday morning, despite the very limited. So I might have by that point to start preparing since today. I thought this is what you wanted me to attend our monthly women's group online, just because you don't need to come to this church to attend. You just need to be female. By the time, the meeting was finished on you. Why? I was trying to share something of what came up. So thank you, ladies for your contributions to today's message. I guess it's always something that I shed. I was in a long-distance local post office yesterday morning and there was a key, so I had to wait till tomorrow, I'll around me but the shelves stocked with all kinds of different good. Tell me my heart towards the Lord, I said him and my heart knows. It is quite distracting having so many different physical around me, and the Lord said, look up,

Two, very plain ordinary ceiling. But what I major in the United States has the light and the sense I got was to focus on where he'd like to shining on what he's highlighting in front of you, to understand what is yours today, we can have so many distractions around us. Remember his word is a light 12 pack and the lamp to a feat as it says in Psalms, 119 verse 15 and Jesus or role model in life. That I only do what I see my father doing and John 5 best 19th. And these will help us to understand what the Lord is for us. Let me keep an eternal perspective on my life easier said than done drunk, as we all have to deal with distractions. That frankly we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us to help us with that. But when we changed and internal perspective on life, it'll help us to find ye what is really important and pay less attention to avoid. No internally That which we do for love is what will stand the test of time? And of course, that includes, when we obey God out of love for him, in the big things, I'm the small and everything in between where the others are watching, will not because that's when we represent God.

In Genesis 12 verses 1, 2 3, the lord gave Abraham direction to make him some promises. The question that was all supposed to the women's meeting but I'm not right there with you. Is what is daughter asking, if you what direction is he giving you a lots of what promises is he giving you? We were thinking times has plans for this year with it being the soft venue. Yes, but up to is not limited to that. How are you going to respond? If someone says the Lord is not a gentleman. I'm going. Nothing on me. As we seek God we find out what we need to do. Sometimes he called us to do what we want today to do things that we not truly gifted enjoy and sometimes not. But he will always give us the grace to do it. I need someone years ago, who was a primary school teacher and then clearly directed her to go into teaching infants. She's so he didn't want to do it. She cried out to the Bajan. She did it and she loved that.

Is not the only example I know if it's night, but both know you suspected that we know. So no surprise that he made us. I can't guarantee that you'll love everything that little told you today but he will give you the grace to do it, he will enable you and he might just surprise you

In Proverbs 3:16 this is the first time yesterday and someone shot that becomes fire passion was really helpful. It says, Rollie Works upon the Lord commitment, trust them wholly to him. He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to his will and social plans, be established. I'm sexy.

Back to Genesis 12, verses 1, 2 3 country from your family and from your father's house to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and I will cut him. He passes you. And in you all the families of the Earth shall be blessed. And then I have a cultural background Study Bible. It says it goes promises his Covenant with Abram, but it wasn't coming to this point but essential elements of identity in the foggy system of the ancient near East. Laundry connect to on survival and livelihood. Family, link to the past present and the future. Give me the Myspace sixth sense of identity. Inheritance fixed ones, place in the family, when Abraham gave up his place in his father's household, he forfeited his security. He was putting his survival, his identity his future until security into the hands of the Lord. And I say that is the safest place for us to put hours. What does it mean for you to put your identity into the hands of the Lord? What does it mean for you to put your future and security into his time?

Maybe that's the point for discussion in table, talk with your point, but she puts on our church.

I was just saying, what does God say about that? When we put these very real life issues in to go time, we need to know what good is sang on the most fundamental ways to know that all to pray and to read God's word. I thought you said the number of occasions trunks is the greatest gift that we can give to anyone. He wants to give a dog a great gift, trust him, especially in the dark time when you can see how things are going to turn out. rabbi Kirt Schneider said something, but I think it's really helpful about trust Rabbi Schneider. It's a mess antique. Jay-Z beliefs like we do that. Jesus is the Messiah. The savior of the world loan promised by God in the Old Testament. His testimony about how he became a Christian and the different seasons in his life and Ministry is a great week in his book called too, bright red.

this is what he says, the Lord clinic in one day by the Holy Spirit, and all such a question that he had previously The reason you say, my people falling and failing is better than not trusting me. The Rabbi says, when he said the word Trump beloved one, it was filled with Revelation, I understood exactly what you meant. Within the concept of trust is the idea of clinging to God the Hebrew word for this. It's ever could, it means attachment to cleave to claim to hold in fact, to Modern Hebrew. We got the wood glue from this word. To me about such acts are in a stration of what trusting God is about. Because song in essence, go to sang, people are fooling the note saying success getting breakthrough because then don't clinging to me and not practicing. A constant awareness is named Felicia in the Lancet, me, talkin with me all the time. I'm not inviting me and continually and saving up is, if we want breakthrough, we need to claim to God all day long. Every day, looking for him, for guidance, for wisdom, and for the leading of the Holy Spirit, as we Jesus, we going to get right Trey Jesus said he who abides in me, and I in him, he says much fruit. That's John 15 verse 5. I think it's really important to say that this is not a note of condemnation but rather encouragement that there's so much more to this life in Christ. Whilst we here on Earth and Sunday I currently been experiencing and I'm sure I'm not the only one. It's about each one of us taking that time a side with the Lord or not asking what changes do I need to make? What does trusting you father, God more look like. Trust is fundamental to any new star with the Lord, whatever format you start type. It's a rap like a saint to say, going through it, my intention is to continue growing. In my ability to live by the spirit of God. He was in May I Want To Live From the Inside Out.

Sabri place my lost Point Grandpa main passage for today without looking. How old was Abraham, when he left her on with lot of the Lord has spoken to him. Fun. Cheer famous bungee 5 genesis 1200 with him and Abraham was 75 years old when he departed from her on. Abraham was 75 years old when he made this new stop, what does that tell us about how God feels about age and you saw, there is no age is not limiting factor in whether people are old or young it's faith and obedience but count. Let's pray. Father God, thank you. That's in you. We always have an opportunity for a fresh start because of what Jesus has done for us.

Almost all parties that we don't miss any of your plans for us. We also seen Jesus name, Frankie on that. Thank you.
