Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice to praise. Praise him and thank him and be joyful. We, you know, we had another fellowship. Fellowship is kind of like a home. I don't know, it's like 12 people maybe.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: And you just go over the word.
[00:00:36] Speaker A: And it's a real blessing. And we started doing it and I was reading and for those of you who came, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna go back over it. But I was reading over the weekend about God's magnified word and how, just how, just how much of a blessing it is that we live in the administration of gr. We don't live in the administration where we're waiting for Christ. We don't live in that administration where we're under law. We live in the administration of grace. Where once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous. And Abraham, Abraham was the father of believers. He was the first one to believe God. And God counted it to him for righteousness. He counted Abraham's believing as righteousness. And then the laws came. And then everybody was under, was waiting for Christ to come. Then Christ came. And now we live. Now this is how we live. But I wanted to go over the promises that God made to Abraham. If you go to Genesis, chapter 12, verse 2, he says, and I will watch us do verse 1. Now the Lord has said to Abram, get thee, and this is Abraham, get thee out of this, of thy country, and from thy kindred and from thy father's house unto a land that I will show thee. He told him to leave his brethren. Verse 2. And I will make thee, of thee, a great nation, and I will bless thee, and I will make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. What's incredible about this is this word was written during that time. It's not like they went back. This is what God told him. And look, when God speaks, it happens. God said Abraham would be a great man, a great name, and God would put on him great blessings. A nation would be born out of him. Well, that's the Jewish nation. And we're still talking about Abraham today. When God says it, it's the truth. Verse 3. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee. And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
God said he would be a God to him, to his seed. In their time, Christ came from Abraham's seed.
What's incredible about that is that all nations are blessed as a result of Abraham, because his son, because Christ died in order that we can live free. And how wonderful is that? I also love the fact that I will bless them that bless thee. When people work, I mean, we. I've experienced this in my life. When you're around believers and you are just. You're thankful to be around them and you bless, they are going to be blessed. The people that work with us are blessed. And it's not because of who we are. It's because God. It's just the way it's set up. If you work with believers, if you are a believer, you're going to see prosperity around you. If you jump over to Genesis, chapter 18, verse 17, it says, and the Lord said, shall I hide from Abraham the thing which I do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation again. Look at the Jewish nation. And all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him, for I know him. And he will command his children and his household after him. And they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath Spoken. Spoken. God knew Abraham. God knew Abraham's heart. God knew that he would teach his children's children's children to believe in God. What are you teaching your children?
What are you teaching your children? Are you going to teach your children? Does God know that you're going to teach your children to believe? Not that it matters, because they're righteous once they believe in the name of Jesus Christ. But it's important that you're teaching your kids. And I love the fact that he knew this in Abraham. But we have these blessings. If you jump over to Genesis, chapter 28, verse 15, and behold, I am with thee. God is with you just like he's with Abraham. And look what happened to Abraham in his life. He is just as with you, if not more. Abraham ended up, all these people were under law. You are under grace again. And behold, I am with thee. And I will keep thee or guard thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land. For I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have spoken of.
God is not going to leave you. You are blessed. You have many blessings applied to your life because you believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ. Once you're righteous, you live in the administration of grace. Christ died and was raised again in order that you can live free and have a God. That's your God in your time. Right now, you have a God behind you. You have Christ in you, the hope of glory. You have a company of angels surrounding you. You have the Holy Ghost, the power from on high in you. You've been given all things. You just got to learn to live it, to live as a born again believer, standing on the principles of God, knowing who you are and developing the relationship with God in order that you can find that peace and live and understand that grace that's been given to you. That's what fills you up, makes you full. It's the instrument of getting to know God and get to know God through his word and having a personal relationship with him and his son. Have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers. Pray the small prayers. Lift them up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, you pray to God. It's a specific word. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
