HEBREWS 11:13 TPT
These heroes all died still clinging to their faith, not even receiving all that had been promised them.
But they SAW BEYOND the HORIZON the FULFILLMENT of their PROMISES and gladly embraced it from afar. They all lived their lives on earth as those who BELONGED to ANOTHER REALM.
We are spirit being born again and we can live in spiritual realm.
HEBREWS 11:13 TPT
These heroes all died still clinging to their faith, not even receiving all that had been promised them.
But they SAW BEYOND the HORIZON the FULFILLMENT of their PROMISES and gladly embraced it from afar. They all lived their lives on earth as those who BELONGED to ANOTHER REALM.
HEBREWS 11:14-15 TPT
For clearly, those who live this way are longing for the appearing of a heavenly city.
And if their hearts were still remembering what they left behind, they would have found an opportunity to go back.
HEBREWS 11:16 TPT
But they couldn’t turn back for their HEARTS were FIXED on what was FAR GREATER, that is, the HEAVENLY REALM!
So because of this God is not ashamed in any way to be called their God, for he HAS PREPARED a HEAVENLY CITY for them.
God prepared ahead of us.
HEBREWS 11:17-19 AMPC
By FAITH Abraham, WHEN he was PUT to the TEST [while the testing of his faith was still in progress],
HAD ALREADY BROUGHT Isaac for an OFFERING;
he who had gladly RECEIVED and welcomed [God's] PROMISES was ready to sacrifice his ONLY son, [Gen. 22:1-10.]
Of whom it was said, Through Isaac shall your descendants be reckoned. [Gen. 21:12.]
HEBREWS 11:17-19 AMPC
For he reasoned that GOD WAS ABLE to RAISE [him] up even FROM among THE DEAD.
Indeed in the sense that Isaac was figuratively dead [potentially sacrificed], he did [actually] RECEIVE him BACK from the DEAD.
Treasure God’s Word
GENESIS 22:1-2 NKJV
Now it came to pass after these things that GOD tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”
And he said, “Here I am.”
Then HE SAID, “Take now your son, your ONLY SON Isaac, whom you LOVE , and GO to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a BURNT OFFERING on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
Abraham talked to Sarah
God and you is a relationship
GENESIS 22:3-4 NKJV
So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.
Then on the third day Abraham lifted his EYES and SAW the place AFAR off.
Offer to God is worship to Abraham
We always worship God with our giving. From our hearts
He believed that God will bless him back
GENESIS 22:5-6 NKJV
And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.”
So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.
GENESIS 22:7-8 NKJV
But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”
And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
And Abraham SAID, “My son, GOD will PROVIDE for HIMSELF the lamb for a burnt offering.”
So the two of them went together.
Abraham said God will provide
Today we have a true God
GENESIS 22:9-10 NKJV
Then they came to the place of which God had told him.
And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
God wants to show us. He wants to bless us.
God’s Word was enough for Abraham.
He is connected to God. Not the blessing
GENESIS 22:11-12 NKJV
But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear GOD, since you have NOT WITHHELD your son, YOUR ONLY SON, FROM ME.”
Money always represent a big part of our lives
Abraham lifted his eyes and looked
Then Abraham LIFTED his EYES and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns.So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
GENESIS 22:14 KJV
And Abraham called the name of that place JEHOVAH-JIREH : as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be SEEN.
And Abraham called the name of the place,
THE-LORD-WILL-PROVIDE ; as it is said to this day,
“In the MOUNT of the LORD it shall be PROVIDED.”
GENESIS 22:13-14 NKJV

FAITH OFFERS BACK TO GOD AFTER HAVING RECEIVED FROM GOD
BECAUSE FAITH'S EYES ARE FIXED ON GOD, NOT THE BLESSINGS
FAITH SEES BEYOND THE BLESSINGS TO GOD HIMSELF
There is so much more
Not seek the blessings or promises but seek God Himself
Seek the Giver. The Blesser
The world seek the blessing from God
We seek the God who bless us
Seek a God who is ever ready to bless us
Do the impossible for me
Raising the dead is an example of only God can do
Whatever is dead in your life, God can raise back the business. God can bless.
Seek Him and obey Him
Focus on God who will do the resurrection for us
