That Type of Faith - Trust: Genesis 22:6-14
That Type of Faith - Trust: Genesis 22:6-14
Abram (Abraham) is considered to be the “Father of Faith” why - because he first did as God commanded when God said: Genesis 12:1-4 for him to leave his country, from your family - leave comfortable and certainty, and walk by faith in The Word that I Am speaking to you!
Abram did leave as God commanded - notice God looked past a fault; God instructed him to leave his family, yet he took his nephew with him, but God saw his faith, because Abram did not hesitate - he immediately heeded The Word of The Lord!
Aren’t you glad that God did not hold your disobedience against you?
Aren’t you thankful that although you walked by faith, you still did not surrender all of you to Him and He yet remains with you - comforting and keeping you!
Abraham - Really walked by faith to the mountain, taking his son with him, not considering what - how - when or where; he just rested on The Word of God; but remember, when he went into Egypt, he left The Way and went in there with self-effort, thus causing chaos because he lied about his wife!
I have believed that I had to fix everything and help everyone, according to my knowledge and my opinion of what I believe God desires! My entire life I have been that individual that had to be there for everyone, even before my eyes were open to The Kingdom - I thought I had to handle it all - which was a good thing, but all was not a God Thing!
Today - I still have this yearning to ensure everyone is alright, which has caused me to become overwhelmed, but yet I continue on because I believe that God Will Provide! Now my thinking has changed, knowing now that God’s Glory will be revealed through my life; therefore, I cling to The Promises of God - regardless, because He has the final say!
God told me that I need to stop holding myself in prison, because of my mistakes, and I do so by the imagination!
We quote the scripture but do we exercise The Word? “Bringing every imagination into captivity!” Here is the revelation: What you imagine is going to be - God is working outside of that!!
God said to me: “The only reason you say it is hard, because you are trying to walk in 2 places - Galatians 5:16–17 “16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.”
This is what Jesus says: Luke 12:22-31 - Focus and Follow The Way, for He cannot lie!
When you give “Thanks” for the
What happens when you speak; “God Will Provide” and know it? Abraham spo
Identify The Interruptions
Identify The Interruptions
Faith requires consistency - We have partial devotion masquerading as full surrender! How can I expect God to continue on, when I stagnated myself because I take God for granite - How can I be consistent when you are inconsistent - Just because you know that I Will Do It, does not mean you remain in your own opinion!
The reason you lose power in your home is because there is a break in the current that provides power, an interruption because of storm, or an accident, possibly, but keep in mind, the Power never stops sending a current, something has interrupted it, thus we lose power!
God never stops giving! Many of us hinder The Power of God because we feel as if we have enough! If God says I will do exceedingly, abundantly, above all you can ask or even think, then I must not be asking!
God told the Israelites in Deuteronomy 6:5 “5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” And Jesus reiterated this message in Matthew 22:37 “37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’”
If you are not careful, you will convince you that where you are now, is enough!
When we compartmentalize our faith—giving God our heart but not our mind, or our soul but not our strength—we create gaps in the very foundation He calls us to build upon.
Then we wonder why we miss moments of Joy - unspeakable - Because you missed the moment to be in His Presence and then you will implement self effort, instead of an immovable faith!
God set the land before them and instructed them to go in and posses it, but they saw on the way - the terrible wilderness in the mounts of the Amorites, but instead of them seeing that God brought them through, they became faithless and stopped! Telling Moses that they will send men into the land to search it out and bring back word - that is self effort, not full surrender!
God Always Comes Through!
God Always Comes Through!
You cannot see the current, but it remains consistent - 1 Corinthians 2:9 “9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.””
Galatians 3:29 “29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
When it seemed as if all hope was lost - God Provided:
The Right Source
In The Right Place
At The Right Time
John 13:15 “15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.”
Although Jesus knew what must be done, and being in the Power of God, He did not forsake The Will of God for what the flesh was presenting - Yet, He remained on The Cross. . .
