on the of he sa for us become of God Christ Jesus he went to the cross and shed his blood for remission of our sins [Music] has all I whatever for walk by faith through faith and patience we continue to obtain the promises as we sit down and hear the word of God [Music] [Music] attentive to hear Holy Spirit of God has for us today just this morning I began to meditate upon this scripture we know that from time to time God Ops this world to teach us something maybe there's somebody that God wants to talk to not just Rel somebody I believe God wants to talk to all of us today as as you are here are you also signing online wants to to you he wants to speak to you it's something God wants to teach you it's an instruction he wants to give to you it's a direction he wants to give you so Hebrews 11 from verse 17 Say by faith Abraham so you see come by faith Abraham so is trying to tell us whom he is referring to what he did and that is Abraham it means we should also be open specifically what he did in this particular case he said by faith Abraham when he wased which me so when he wased offer of Isaac the scripture was telling him give back to me what I gave you said give back to me what I gave said when he was offered up Isaac and re the promises offer of this only begot son and this promises we are talking about is TI down to this is son say offer he oby us without Fai impossible to pleas God those who come to God must come believing that he is and he a reward of [Music] those so telling us by faith Abraham Abraham started with God by faith listen the walk you are walking with the Lord is a work of faith if you miss that point you miss everything from the day God called you out of darkness and you set into his marous life you have began a walk of Faith there's no time it will stop until I called home so the first encounter with with with God God with Abraham and Abraham with God was when God called him to leave his country leave his King I simp you leave the word and come to me he came and going make promises to him in blessing I bless you and who you bless shall be blessed Abraham previously in that Genesis 17 ver God told him this I will give unto thee and to th SE and to th SE after the the land weing that at a stranger all the land of Canaan for Everlasting possession and I'll be their God this were so the promises God releasing releasing upon him and if you also go to ver 19 of it and God said Sarah thy wife shall be a son indeed and I shall call his name Isaac and I will establish my C with him for Everlasting Covenant and with SE after him so basically whatever Abraham to be transferred to who Isaac and he said and he SE after him so you can appreciate what the writer of the Hebrew is saying here he said by faith Abraham when he was offered up Isaac he offered the promise that same SE God said this will be where we establish Everlasting Covenant with you this is the seed I use to make you fruitful and to multiply and to occupy Abraham how have to offer it he gave it back to him who called him how many of of us do that say I can't go this do you know what is so many people die for making progress in life they don't let go this one I have got no I can't let it go so they hold it tight and as they keep holding it tight they become tighter they become tighter in their situation in their problems they where they are no progress cuz from that point they have said God I can't trust you you that gave me this this what I have now I you for another one I'm [Music] going and at the end they lose that in their time when you lack understanding of what faith is or what it means to walk with God you will never make progress the life you have been called into as a child of God is a life of Faith a walk of faith we walk by faith we don't walk we don't walk by sight as we live by faith walking by faith we also fight a good fight of Faith lay hold on eternal life Abraham have head to this and that's why man as the he was e Faith must be you say you believe God any that is not right is not fit your faith must be thed have I gone through trial of Faith many times did I understand that was the trial of my faith yes most of the time people don't understand the difference between the trial of their faith and temptation and that's they miss it God does not anybody whe what you claiming you really is is really true you prove yourself you come to realize truly you don't have faith at all you don't trust God at all cuz your faith must be PR by said Abraham when he was thed the scripture tells us the tri of our faith in First Peter 1 verse 7 that is of your fa be much more precious than of God that perish it that nothing you l so much you're holding onto it is of your is more precious than that gold I thought you wisdom is what whate more precious than good wisdom will make you to understand that the T of youri is more precious than good that you are holding on to I can let go so do be th with fire might be foundto what praise and honor and Glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ so when we talk about to testify to share our testimony it's a is a of your if you not TR if your faith is not tried and tested it is not Faith at all you believe in God the say yes the demons they believe the Devils they believe and they the difference between you and the devil is that you believe and you do so to say oh I believe God I believe God if you believe God I want to show me I Believe by action by do the word of God so that the of your be much more precious than of gold that perish it be with fire might be found onto praise and honor and Glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ whom having not seen you love even though you see him not believe he rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of Glory so we don't walk by side we are not seen God but we believe what he has said in his word for the beginning was the word and the word was God and the world was God there was nothing that was ever made that was made through the word of God so we believe his word we believe what he has said and if I said it in his word I'm ready to do it cuz it's more precious than whatever that that word of God is trying to make me or I feel that I'm being Deni of it's better to me to do the work and to go that that will draw me back from serving the lord in spirit and in truth so that ver he said receiveing the end of your faith even the salvation of your souls of his salvation the prophets have inquired and dently who prophesy of the grace that should come unto you the grace as long as you Fus to walk with the Lord and walk in obedience the grace of God is always sufficient it's always sufficient for you people miss it when they want to W their minds by their own thinking and not by what the word of God is saying and that's why the Bible encourages us to present our bodies and Living Sacrifice holy acceptable onto the Lord and be not conformed to this world but being transformed by the renewing of your mind your mind needs to be renewed for your mind to have the mind of Christ to have the mind that Abraham had to just believe God and do what God has told you to do that's why you see in the same church in the same place the same people the Bible said they ate the same food food they spiritual meat they Dr spiritual drink which is Christ and some he profited some did not profit because they did not have to it they did not believe what was being said they were just with their own mind okay you have finished I do what I want to do that was not how and when you begin to say Abraham blessings are M they will be louder than the ones who are doing itess bless Abraham bless how can Abraham blesses be first of all go and know what Abraham did and letar to do what Abraham did then you can begin to saying that Abraham bless so like I said there's a difference between Temptation and the trial of your faith which you must understand as the scripture shows us in James chapter 1 from verse 12 blessed is the man that endureth Temptation for when he is th he shall receive the Crown of Life which the Lord have promised to them that love you if you love God you keep his word and that's the simple way you can endure Temptation that's the simple way you can resist temptation that's the simple way you can escape Temptation if you love God you purpose to do what the word of God says and if you do what the word of God says you'll be able to stand in Temptation let me tell you nobody on this T still on the flesh we say that Temptation also come to you it comes in different forms but is what you do to the Temptation that's what makes the difference in your life say blessed is he that endure Temptation in the years that resist is coming say no this is pleasant but no so the battle is in your mind oh this is Pleasant for me to do no I love God I not go against the word of God I'll do what the word of God says to do because the battle is is in the mind if anybodys me here that from time to you noted one Li the truth is not you as long as you still on this Earth will come to you even when you don't desire it it may come before you and say see me here take me do with me what you want to do with me is your responsibility listen I love God I can't do this he came to Joseph he came he was a m in the house of second was listen tell me do what you want to do with me said no I can do this wickedness I Fear God the is I love God I keep what the word of God s I'm not go against the word of God so did Joseph deserve for Temptation no he just came to him that's what he say here blessing is a man that endur Temptation from when he ised he shall receive the Crown of Life did just receive the Crown of Life he did appr God knows how to pay back he said from he shall receive the of the promised to love the tell your neighbor listen if you love the Lord Keep what continue to fight a fight of fi lay hold of eternal life so 1: let no man say when he is temped and temped of God for God cannot be tempted with evil nether temped he any man did you hear what the scripture say God can never tempt you he will not tempt you with evil never so when temptation is coming you know where it's coming from from the beat of hell that's where he's coming from and your is to resist him say resist the devil and you feel so trial of faith is different from Temptation we must know this and you must be able to discern so you be able to know what to do at each tell when the day shall come call it what it is don't say it's trial of your faith cuz if you call it trial of your faith you miss it when it's Temptation call it in name it's what Temptation from where from the of hell when you give it the right name you understand that oh I don't want to be D to the P of it will help you more to be able to to resist it it will help you more to be able to stand firm in the faith so let no God canot with evil neither any verse 14 but every man is tempted when he's dra away of his own L and L of the eyes L of the Flesh of so whenever you see lost just qualify immediately in the Bible when just L assuming you should know what he talking about based on what happened in Genesis the loss of the eyes the loss of the Flesh and the pride of life which means any of these things can take you away from walking by Faith by believing and doing what the word of God says said that every man is temped when he's dra away of his own loss and he dies the when L have conceived in the mind because it's in the mind when it's conceived and you have accepted it listen there's nothing wrong with it coming into your mind but everything is wrong when you conceive it when you not begin to meditate upon it now begin to dwell on it and that's whens s my and when it comes oh no no no God forgive me I can start this imagination and every that to ra up say against the knowledge of God I bring this thought to captivity to obedience to Christ and the grace of God will be made available for you because you have taken captivity that thought listen this thought I don't need you it can not help me I bring you die I bring you into captivity my mind must be to the mind of Christ obey what the word of God says and it will submit so when has con bring for when it is finished bring it forth what death that's why Temptation takes you to repeat ofair it destroys your future if you eat or eat was Christ tempted he was tempted if Christ was tempted who are you that you go through Temptation so when he comes don't say oh that temptation is coming to you does not say it's that when you now say I have rejected Christ when it comes it may be he wants to see whether you really truly you are in Christ so I said note the difference Temptation and the trial of your faith you must know so if God is telling you to do something based on his word he said no no no no this temptation lying to yourself are you getting what I'm saying if it is the word of God you supposed to obey and you not obeying it and you are casting it out you doing what you lying to yourself a tri of your F said by faith Abraham when he was D offered up Isaac the confidence seed that is to continue the promise of God for generations to come so let's look at it briefly from Genesis 22 from verse one what and it came to pass after this that God that there represent test test [Music] not God did try Abraham and said Abraham I said behold here I am so why do I know that his test not because he said God did mean God told you to do something God spoke his word ab and he said beh here I am verse two I said take now thy son thy only son Isaac whom thou lest and gave the into the land of and offer him de for B upon one of the mountains which I will tell the of God was very specific God is always specific in his instructions are you hearing what I'm saying his instructions are specific and they are very direct say here he said get into the land of Mor but he didn't stop them he said upon one of the mountains not all the mountains said upon one of the mountains which I tell you said that is where you offer him there for a b offering so go was specific listen if you're in the spirit and God is speaking to you is God is telling you to do something you show it to you in the world as you listening also you can receive it from the word of God as you listening and you will be very specific God is not an author of confusion he will not direct you in [Music] confusion when he's telling you to do something it will be specific and direct why do people Miss what God wants them to do because they're in a hurry if you're in a hurry and you not hear what God is telling you you know what [Music] told when God called him he told what to said when you hear again speak for does what which means if God is telling you something they must must be a sign to show that you are here God will expect a sign from you to show that you have heard what he has said however in a way of seeking councel concerning that like some s the Council of a or in a way of trying to begin towards that which God has told you then go will not is the next thing people draw just when God say hello said hello and begin to what did go tell you he said hello what next hello what next hello how communicates with his God is a and he lies to R things as it to be very clear to even the child remember the Bible said was there a child so if God could reveal it to him that became very clear as a child as as a child of God as an adult you should be able to wait to hear all the things that God is is telling you go to the go to the mother and they say specific Mountain I will show you that's way you will offer this young son if Abraham just had oh God said I should go to L the L and he reaches the L and he begins to go everywhere you know he now decides on himself to choose the position where he wants to that sacrifice will not be complete and it will not be acceptable unto the Lord vers three go ahead and Abraham rose up early in the morning and S his ass and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son and cl the W for the burn offering and Rose and went onto the place of which God had told him he went onto the place of which God had told him verse four then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place a far off remember the first thing we read in verse four that he went to the place which God had told you which me he went to the land morning but he has not located place he has entered the land more and once he enter the land more he said on the day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place which me he waited for the vision just like he prayed the vision will speak it's for an appointed time and it's for his specific place so when Abraham entered say he lifted up his eyes what was he LIF his eyes up his just to see his he lifted up his eyes for where come my help my help coming from the Lord he saw the face of the Lord that's what the scripture is telling us there he saw the face of the Lord have arrived to the L the way is the specific Mountain so many of the times people get a vision they get a blessing they think that's the end of it they get a promotion they think that's the end of it they get opposition they think that is the end of it when God has brought you there he who brought you there you still need to keep seeking his face something I have ared I don't need God again you need to keep seeking face because there are yet things you don't know in the land he has brought you into in that position has brought you into that promotion he has brought you into there are things you need to know and need to seek his face and that's what abrah said then on the 10 day abrah lifted up his eyes and saw the place a far off with me where he's going to fulfill the was still far off that which godos for you whenever he brought you is still far off you are not yet arrived you need to keep seeking the face of the Lord for the vision is for appointed it will speak but you need to wait upon you need to that is simply me waiting upon the Lord Prayer leave him according to the word of God don't say oh I've been praying for this this has ared have come to my hand now that is the beginning tell that's the beginning what you have received there is still something ahead which God wants to show you and which God wants to perfect concerning you so you need to wait upon the Lord it verse five he said and Abraham said unto his young man abide here with the ass and I and the L will go Yonder and worship and come again to you Abraham Le what did he learn the first time the Lord called him he went and he took a lot and he had learned something different we need to learn he has Le something said oh God did not call me with this people he did he said I should take the young L these people have helped us to come up to this land but they will not follow us to the place listen there are baggages you might have been carrying all these years and God wants to take it to another level you must sh to baggages all those weight that stop you from entering into the promise of God for your life you need to share them you need to cast them you need to keep them where they belong you need to tell them let me go I'm going with the Lord for the Lord wants to do great things for me and with me that's what Abraham did said listen with the ass and I and will go y worship and come again to you six go ahead and Abraham took the wood of the B and it from Isaac and he took the fire in and the knife and they went both of them together emphasizing they went what both of them together listen Isaac is a son of Promise the work of Fai youing you must need to keep going with the word of [Music] God if you want purposes to be fulfilled in your life and through you you must continue toide in the word of God and let the word of God toide in you don't do anything as what the word of God says Temptations will come resist it if is the tri of your faith fight good fight of f hold on life abah took of the B offering and La it upon his son and he took the fire in his hand and a knif and they went both of them together remember was sah now still alive did they go with Sarah they didn't go with sah go told him specifically I'm not saying you should not go with your wife when you're doing things but when is specific when there are things God is saying you should do you should know to do the ask God say so that's why he also leared the lesson of his life of not going with those young men that help them with the ass to bring the wood now Isaac became the ass that will carry the wood I then when both of them together verse S and is spake onto Abraham his father said my father he said Here Am my son I said behold the fire and the wood where is the L for a bound offer a very genuine question where is the L for the born offing before now I Isaac has said nothing he were just obediently following his father and they came a point he had to ask question cuz the Lord L that cuz God wants to reveal something to us which many of us know said and I SP unto Abraham his father said my father I said yeah my son and he said beh a fire and where is the L for a b offer verse 8 and Abraham said my son God will provide himself a l for a b offering so they both of them together what did he reveal to us the question of Isaac to Abraham was that Abraham trust in God he believed in God he believed that what ever God says he knows how to make it to come to pass so that was his confidence that when God told him take your I said okay I will take you give it to me I will take said I should take it to the land of I will take he said that you show me the specific Mountain where I offer myself yes I'm going you believe God say don't have believe God and it was counted for him for righteousness he believed God that's what this thing showed us that when his son asked him the wood is here the fire is here what is the love for a b offing and ABR said my son will provide himself a lamb for a b offering so they both of them together and they came to the place which God had told him of and Abraham buil and La the wood in order and B Isaac his son and La him on upon the w why did Isaac not resist why did Isaac not ask questions this is a time should ask question but he didn't resist he didn't ask questions I can in is that God must have spoken to ISAC you he what said I provide a lamp for the B offering so not only The Obedience of Abraham was fulfilled The Obedience of Isaac was fulfilled and the Bible say when your obedience is fulfilled full and filled God will punish every Disobedience around you so if Satan was expecting that Abraham will commit Mother by killing his son God showed him the difference when I heart is me to God God will show us the difference God will show that he's God that he will not break his word God will not break his Covenant but most of the times our heart are not full our heart is not full of obedience and we are not ready to do the will of God so we don't discover whom God is in our situation Abraham discovered God Isaac discovered God that God will give his promise as we can see now verse 10 he said and ab said for his hand and do he me to slay his son we never heard that ISAC scream look at what happened in verse 11 and the angel of the Lord called onto him out of heaven and said Abraham Abraham and he said here am I verse 12 I said lay not thy hand upon the L do thou anythingto him for now I know that th Fe is God see with th s that only son from me some God has not even asked them their son God has asked them to give their lives to come to serve him in spirit and Truth said no Lord I need this my life I need to enjoy the pleasures of life I need to do this I need to do that and how will God fulfill that concerning you when you haven't even given your life when you have not surrendered life and I said Jus for you on the cross of Cal if you have not surrendered your life that's why is difficult for you to even surrender what you have in your hand how can you give when you haven't given your life it's difficult it's difficult how can you lay down that which you so much value when you have not given your life to Christ is this but you can Lear on anything if you have truly given your life to Christ what will you withhold from serving the lord in spirit and in truth if you have totally G your so Abraham did exactly what God did say for God so love the world he came his only begotten son that who believe should not perish he have everlasting life that's why that book of Hebrew was in that Hebrew 1117 he said by faith Abraham when he was offered up and he that received the promises offered up his only begotten son that's why he Ed that word his only begotten son so is was a kind of Christ me as I if Isaac was the kind of Christ are you ready to ler your life for the word of God Christ laid down his for us the said how we ought to lay down our lives for he laid down his life Abraham believe God the scripture PS Us in dark James want us to read it and qued it James chap 2 from verse 19 that believe that there is one God that do well the Devils also believe and do what so when the word of God comes said oh this is the no no no I can't do this you trembling you just representing who the devil tell said the trth don't don't don't pretend that a child of God if the word of God comes across your way and you CLA you have received it and you're not doing it deceiving yourself so verse 20 we know man that F without is dead verse 21 was not Abraham Our Father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar as far as God was concerned Abraham already offered as he offered him on the alt because he raised his hand to K but God will never break his word say no I know you will obey me to the end no you shall not me mother I make a Val a and that so when you holding on to something and say God I'm waiting for the lamb and you're holding it like Isaac and God is said let go now let me see God sees your heart he knows whe ready to let go or not busy waiting waiting is the this the I want to e where is the knows that you not to of God many people delay their future by the L of the eyes the L of the Flesh and the Bride of life because they holding on the little they have seen forget the greater things God has to release to them was not Abraham Our Father justified by work when he offered Isaac the son upon the altar 22 see thou how Faith WR with his works and by wordss was Faith made perfect your faith is only made perfect through obedience to the word of God 23 and the scripture was fulfilled which say Abraham believed God and it was imputed onto him for righteousness and was was called the friend of God 34 you see then how by works a man is Justified and not by faith only show me your faith and I show you my faith by my works so the scripture that Hebrew chapter 11 verse 18 He said of of whom it was sa that in is shall thy see be called in [Music] Isaac so all the seed all the blessings all the Covenant blessings were TI down to Isaac yet Abraham was ready to let it go so he was ready to let go all the promises all the blesses of go as long as you will obey God many people want to hold on to the promises and the blessings of God and not obey go it doesn't work C it doesn't work down Romans 9 verse 6 tells us this Roman 9 6 but as though the word of God have taken none effect for they are not all Israel which are of what Israel listen carefully verse S NE because they are the seed of Abraham are they all what children but in Isaac shall th see be God not all I claim there are Christians that are really Christians it's only those who are ready in the Covenant promise of God walking in obedience to the word of God John the Apostle talking about Jesus Christ had this to say God revealed this to him in John 1 from verse 10 say he was in the world and the world was made by him and the world knew him not but he came his and receiv him not daily basis this same word is still applicable to you say he came into his own his own not talking about Israelites but is still coming to you as somebody who is claiming you are a child of God the word of God is still coming to you to know whether you receive what the word of God is saying he said he came into his and his not receive him ver 12 that as many as received him today gave him power to become the SS of God to that believe on there is power in receiving the word of God there's power in obey the word of God there's power in doing what the word of God says there's Authority there's sufficient Grace to fulfill purpose when you obey and do what the word of God says so the word of God is still coming to you on daily basis don't just take it oh it's only refering to the people of Israel there when came today still coming to you each time you hearing the word of God or you studing the word of it's coming and to see what you do with it he said he came into his his own but those who received him he gave the power he gave the anointing to fulfill purposes by faith Abraham when he was tried offered up Isaac and he that received the promises offered up his only begotten son Verse 18 of whom it was said that in Isaac shall I see be verse 19 that God was able to raise him up even from the dead from when also he received it in a f so you believe God today that even if this one go I increase that you have utmost trust in the ability of God in what God can do because you are puros to it doesn't matter whatever you're going through have that faith that God will fulfill what has promised if you are a child of God our walk is a work of Faith Roman 4:1 17 says this concerning Abraham and Sarah and is Roman 478 say as it is have made a father of many nations before him whom he believe even God who be the dead and call those things we be up as the were he remember the B said in the beginning was the word and the was and there was the word so things into existence if you believe God he knows how to call things into existence for you for your situation Many Many Nations that's the promise that God made to Abraham before will be believe even God who be the dead and col those be not as though they were Verse 18 who against hope be the hope that he might become the father of many nations according to that which was spoken so shall thy SE be verse 19 and no weak in faith he consider not his own body now dead when you understand what he's saying was like like he was unproductive physically he didn't consider his own not dead he said when he was about 100 years old never yet the deadness of [Music] s so when talking about blessings remember all the not only [Music] Abraham he came for as good after I been tried I come for as good let the TR of your faith bring forth honor and praise in your situation don't give up consider his was about 100 Years of the promise ofel was strong for giving glory to God fully persuaded that what he promised he was able also to perform [Music] why do people doubt God CU they think that God is alive that what he has promised he cannot do so they want to do things of their lying to themselves when you call God liar you actually lying to yourself verse 22 and therefore it was ined to him for righteousness because he believe God he was persued that God is able to per that which is promis let me tell you I'm young now I'm good I'm still very young if you look at me you admire me and know that I'm very young you know I have not seen the righteous for he SE Bing bread that God has promised you you will fulfill it if you continue to walk by faith and fight a good fight of Faith lay hold on eternal life God can never fail amen so don't fail yourself by not obeying the word of God am in Jesus name am [Music] Hallelujah we thank God for his word without faith it is impossible to please know for he that comes to God must believe that he is God and he's the rewarder of those who relig seek Him amen we need to walk in faith you know Abraham gave Isaac was ready to give himen he did not hold him back we shall not hold back anything in worshiping God and serving himen know let's let's quickly look at Genesis 15:1 you know as as we see why or how Abraham was able to give Isaac Genesis 151 says after these things the word of the Lord came unto Abraham in a vision saying fear not Abraham I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward amen so God had already told him know the greatest thing you can have is your relationship with me that is the substance of everything else amen as long as you have me amen you have everything amen so Abraham knew this and he said add your Shield I will also keep you protected and keep you shielded so Abraham was able to give and if you look at Job 1221 you know job as well he went through trials you know and if you look at Job 131 he says and said naked came I out of my mother's womb and naked shall I return to them the lord gave and the Lord has taken away blessed be the name of the Lord can we see the next verse in all this job said not not charge God foolishly amen so they all knew that you know whatever we have is from God Amen he gives he can take away what he has given is Abraham's case he asked him back for that which he has which he had given him but he was able to give amen so we're going to pray that you know we shall give God everything amen shall not hold back anything from God whatever we have we receive from God you know and and it doesn't help us to hold it back because we heard that you know many of us are unable to make that progress because we are holding on to things amen you know we have given our lives to the Lord if you've not given your life to the Lord this is also the time to give it amen and if there's anything else that you're holding back as you heard the word know open up your mouth and speak and say Lord I give all to you I trust you whatever I have I received from you there's nothing that I have received through My Own Strength let's pray father God we thank you for your word father Lord we pray Lord that we shall continue to operate in faith my father Lord Lord we shall not hold back anything in serving you my father God lord Our Lives my father our talents our Treasures our time my father whatever it is Lord L let us give it to you my father Lord we have we don't have anything that we have not received from you Lord every good and perfect gift is from above father Lord you have given given it to us Lord and Lord we cannot do anything without you father Lord Lord help us to have this attitude Lord this mentality my father of giving ourselves holy unto you my father God Lord we thank you and praise you God lord we shall come forth with testimonies Lord as we implement this word into our lives my father God as we walk in the knowledge of this word my father our testimony of breakthrough shall come my father God Lord we thank you and Praise You Lord in Jesus name we pray amen and we know that faith without works is dead you know and let's look at that 27 James 2:1 17 pastor already read it read verse 19 let go to 27 it says even so faith if it do not works is dead being alone can we look at 18 also yeah man may say thou has faith and I have Works show me thy faith without thy works I'll show the my faith by my Works amen so faith without works is dead and in Matthew 7 let's just open that as well Matthew 7:24 Matthew 7 so this is Jesus speaking he says therefore whosoever hear these sayings of mine and doeth them I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock let's go to the next one and the rain descended and the floods came and the wings blew and beat upon that house and it fell not for it was founded upon WR next one and everyone that hears the sayings of mine and doth them not shall be likened into a foolish man which built his house upon the sand next and the rain descended and the floods came and the wind blew and beat upon that house and it fell and great was the fall of it amen so we have heard the word amen and we shall do amen and our house the house that you're building amen the life that you're building it shall remain Amen in the midst of that Tempest that trial that storm it shall remain as long as it's built on the word of God and Jesus said how how do you build that he that hears his word and does it amen he's the one who builds on that strong Foundation amen so let's pray that we shall continue to have faith with Works amen we shall not just have empty words but we shall have actions amen based on the word of God let's pray father God we thank you for your word father Lord Lord help us to be that wise man and that wise woman Lord who continues to build their lives upon your word my father God those who do your work word in obedience my father Lord let us not be people who just say it for the sake of it my father but let our actions speak louder than our words my father God Lord help us Lord strengthen us that we may continue to trust you completely Lord and to give ourselves holy un you my father doing your will my father even when it is convenient even when it's inconvenient God Lord let us learn to encourage ourselves in you my father God as we are going through those tests my father God Lord let the trial of our faith my father bring forth the precious something that is precious my father something that is valuable my father Lord Lord let us not fail those tests my father but Lord let us continue to advance my father through through the victory that you give us Lord as we wait on you as We Trust You Lord we thank you and Praise You Lord in Jesus name we pray amen and we also heard that we need to wait to hear all that God has to tell us amen you know and as we wait we know that Isaiah 40 31 says the youth shall faint and be weary and the shall fall but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall bound up with wings as eagles they shall run and they shall not faint amen so we're going to pray you know as we wait on the Lord he does not just leave us there amen as we wait to hear from him he strengthens us amen he leaves us the power to hold on Amen and you know we heard Isaac was not troubled you know he did not resist you know that sacrifice know and we heard that Pastor said God would have spoken to him know God is not the author of confusion ution amen so if he has planned it he also knows how to make things to fall into place amen so as we obey you know God shall also help us amen you know as to to continue in that obedience amen so there's nothing to worry about as you are facing those situations because if you're doing that trusting God if you are putting your faith into action it shall surely you know come to a very good ending amen so let's pray father God we thank you Father Lord Lord we pray that we shall wait to hear from you Lord Lord we shall not be in a hurry my father God lord we shall not just run at the first word my father but Lord we know that you give clear instructions Lord you give Specific Instructions Lord Lord we need those instructions Lord to continue with our lives my father to do that which you have purpose for us Lord Lord let us not be in a hurry my father for as we wait on you my father we shall see the salvation of the Lord my father Lord Lord we shall see my father the way to go to profit Lord as we wait on you father God and Lord we know that you not the author of confusion my father but Lord even when you are involved my father things shall be clear my father things shall shall obey my father God things shall surrender my father God to your will and to your plan Lord we thank you we praise you Lord in Jesus name we have prayed amen amen [Music] [Music] [Music] because mighty I am hallelujah hallelujah might H Hallelujah hallelu Hallelujah Hallelujah
