Podcast: Words which God spoke to Abraham

 

 

Adam was created by God from the dust of the ground. 

Genesis 1

First God created everything the man and woman would need :  The heaven and earth, plants, animals, fish and fowl, trees for fruit.  

Then God created man.  

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in HIS own image, in the image of God created HE him; male and female created HE them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

31 And God saw every thing that HE had made, and, behold, it was very good.  And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 2

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

18  And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

21-22  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and HE took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

After Adam, multitudes of people were born as sons and daughters of men of the earth.

Enoch was a friend of God and did not see death for God removed Enoch from the earth.  

Hebrews 11:5  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Noah found grace in the sight of God and God kept Noah from being destroyed in the flood.  Genesis 6

God called Abraham and removed him from his father's house and from his people.  Genesis 12

God spoke to Abraham several times promising Abraham a seed that would be great nations and even more than the dust of the earth if it were possible to count the dust, and as the number of stars in the heavens.

Here are some of those promises and words which God presented to Abraham.

The focal point is on "that which God spoke" ... that is what is important!

To each of us the focal point in our lives is "That which God spoke to us."

Genesis 12

1  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Genesis 13

14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

Genesis 15

1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

5 And HE brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and HE said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

7  And HE (God) said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

13 And HE (God) said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Genesis 17

1 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.

2 And I will make MY covenant between ME and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

4 As for ME, behold, MY covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

5 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.

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7 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.

8 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.

9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep MY covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

10 This is MY covenant, which ye shall keep, between ME and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

16 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.

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

19 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.

20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

21 But MY covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

(Abraham was 99 when he was circumcised and Ishmael was 13.)

I think it is so interesting to see the Words God gave to Abraham and to see the promises of God and how all that God spoke to Abraham was fulfilled and how Abraham obeyed God in all things spoken by God to him.

God speaks to us today by HIS Spirit and by dreams and even by angels.

Write out those things you can remember God saying to you although there are so many things the Holy Spirit says, yet some words will really stand out to you even years after God spoke them to you.

Every one of the words spoken to us by God will happen.

Also as we share those words God spoke to us and those things God did for us we show God working in our lives and other people are also blessed by our testimony.

Philemon v. 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

When we tell what God has said and has done in our lives, our faith becomes "effectual" and others see God through our testimony.
