[Sermon Note] GOD GAVE HIS WORD TO BLESS US WITH EVERYTHING HE HAS, BLESS AND BLESS AND BLESS - FORE

Pastor Stephanie

HEBREWS 6:13-18 MSG

When GOD MADE HIS PROMISE to Abraham, HE BACKED IT to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line.

He said, “I PROMISE that I’ll BLESS YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE —BLESS and BLESS and BLESS!”

[So he said, “Have no doubt, I PROMISE to BLESS you OVER and OVER , and GIVE you a son and MULTIPLY YOU WITHOUT MEASURE!”

Hebrews 6:14 TPT]

He can do what He says He wants to do.

We need to know Him. He can back it up.

His supply is abundance and overflowing

Holy Spirit is forever faithful.

As long as the Lord says something He will do.

The promise came to pass. The miracle happened according to God’s Word.

HEBREWS 6:13-18 MSG

Abraham stuck it out and GOT EVERYTHING that HAD BEEN PROMISED to him.

When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they’ll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up.

Today u have a Guarantor. He is God!

When God wants to guarantee His promises, look at how He guaranteed

His promises is unchangeable.

HEBREWS 6:13-18 MSG

We who have run for our very lives TO GOD have every reason to grab the PROMISED HOPE with both hands and never let go.

It’s an UNBREAKABLE SPIRITUAL LIFELINE, reaching past all appearances right to the very PRESENCE of GOD where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.

HEBREWS 6:19-20 TPT

We have this CERTAIN HOPE like a STRONG, UNBREAKABLE ANCHOR HOLDING our SOULS to GOD HIMSELF.

This HOPE [this CONFIDENT ASSURANCE ] we have as an ANCHOR of the SOUL

[it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]—

Faith is a confident assurance of what God said He will do.

HEBREWS 6:19-20 TPT

Our ANCHOR of HOPE is FASTENED to the MERCY SEAT which sits in the HEAVENLY REALM beyond the sacred threshold, and where JESUS, our forerunner, HAS GONE IN before us.

He is NOW and FOREVER our ROYAL PRIEST like MELCHIZEDEK.

REVELATION 1:10 AMP

I was IN THE SPIRIT

[in special COMMUNICATION with the HOLY SPIRIT and empowered to receive and record the revelation from Jesus Christ] ON THE LORD’S DAY,

and I HEARD BEHIND ME a LOUD VOICE like the sound of a trumpet,

His spirit is communicating with God

There is no one who cannot communicate with Him unless you are not born again

REVELATION 1:11 NKJV

saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

REVELATION 1:12-13 NKJV

Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me.

And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.

REVELATION 1:14-15 NKJV

His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow,

and His eyes like a flame of fire;

His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace,

and His voice as the sound of many waters;

REVELATION 1:16 AMP

In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword [of judgment];

and HIS FACE [reflecting HIS MAJESTY and the SHEKINAH GLORY] was LIKE the SUN SHINING in [all] its POWER

[at MIDDAY].

Power in resting upon His army.

REVELATION 1:17 AMP

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead.

And He placed His right hand on me and said,

“Do not be afraid; I AM the First and the Last [ABSOLUTE DEITY, the SON of GOD],

and the EVER-LIVING One

[LIVING IN and BEYOND ALL TIME and SPACE].

When we magnify how great He is, His glory come down.

Each time we declare how great He is. Start with God. Not start with us.

God always tell us don’t be afraid

Jesus is beyond time and space.

REVELATION 1:18 AMP

I died, but see, I AM ALIVE FOREVERMORE , and I have the keys of [ABSOLUTE CONTROL and VICTORY over] death and of Hades (the realm of the dead).

Jesus lives in the realm beyond time and space.

God is not limited by time and space like us.

Supernatural can happen. He has absolute control.

We have the key. Each key to unlock certain situation in our lives.

Sundial, the earliest type of timekeeping device, which indicates the time of day by the position of the shadow of some object exposed to the sun's rays.

As the day progresses, the sun moves across the sky, causing the shadow of the object to move and indicating the passage of time.

In order for time to exist there must be a sun rise and sun set

JAMES 1:17 AMP

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the FATHER of LIGHTS [the CREATOR and SUSTAINER of the HEAVENS],

in whom there is NO VARIATION [no rising or setting]

or SHADOW cast by HIS TURNING [for HE is PERFECT and NEVER CHANGES].

God does not change His mind.

When He promises to bless you, He does not change His mind.

JAMES 1:17 NKJV

..with whom there is NO variation or SHADOW of TURNING.

The sun stays there. We are on earth we see as of the sun moves. But actually we are moving.

On this earth when we are under midday sun, there is no shadow. But when we move there is shadow

Then Joshua SPOKE to the LORD on the day when the Lord handed over the Amortisation to the sons of Israel, and Joshua said in the sight of Israel, “SUN , STAND STILL at Gibeon, And moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”

So the SUN STOOD STILL , and the moon stopped, Until the nation [of Israel] took vengeance upon their enemies.

Is it not written in the Book of Jashar? So the sun stood still in the middle of the sky and was in no hurry to go down for about a whole day.

Joshua 10:12-13 AMP

Joshua spoke to the Lord.

He knows the sun is like talking to God

The earth stopped moving when the sun stood still.

No rising and setting for one whole day.

God is unchangeable.

Joshua spoke to God

Time stopped. Joshua was able to speak to time. He moved in the realm of Holy Spirit where time don’t exist.

You are acting on His word.

There has not been a day like that before it or after it, when the LORD LISTENED to (HEEDED ) the VOICE of a MAN ; for the LORD WAS FIGHTING FOR ISRAEL .

Believe in your heart and speak God’s Word

PSALM 23:4 AMP

Even though I walk through the [SUNLESS] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me;

YOUR ROD [to PROTECT ] and YOUR STAFF [to GUIDE], they comfort and console me.

The sun did not move. We walked out.

The Lord will protect us and bring us back even though we walked out.

GALATIANS 3:15-18 MSG

Friends, let me give you an example from everyday affairs of the FREE LIFE

I am talking about.

Once a person’s WILL has been ratified, no one else can annul it or add to it.

Now, the PROMISES were made to ABRAHAM and to his DESCENDANT.

In Abraham, all the nations shall be blessed

GALATIANS 3:15-18 MSG

You will observe that Scripture, in the careful language of a legal document, does not say “to descendants,” referring to everybody in general, but “to your descendant” (the noun, note, is singular), referring to CHRIST.

This is the way I interpret this:

A WILL, earlier ratified by God, is NOT ANNULLED by an ADDENDUM ATTACHED 430 YEARS LATER, thereby negating the promise of the will.

GALATIANS 3:15-18 MSG

You will observe that Scripture, in the careful language of a legal document, does not say “to descendants,” referring to everybody in general, but “to your descendant” (the noun, note, is singular), referring to CHRIST.

This is the way I interpret this:

A WILL, earlier ratified by God, is NOT ANNULLED by an ADDENDUM ATTACHED 430 YEARS LATER, thereby negating the promise of the will.

GALATIANS 3:15-18 MSG

No, this addendum, with its instructions and regulations, has nothing to do with the PROMISED INHERITANCE in the WILL.

What is the point, then, of the law, the attached addendum?

It was a thoughtful addition to the ORIGINAL COVENANT PROMISES made to Abraham.

GALATIANS 3:15-18 MSG

The PURPOSE of the LAW was to keep a sinful people in the way of salvation until CHRIST (the descendant) came, INHERITING the PROMISES and DISTRIBUTING THEM to US.

Obviously this law was not a firsthand encounter with God.

It was arranged by angelic messengers through a middleman, Moses.

But if there is a middleman as there was at Sinai, then the people are not dealing directly with God, are they?

GALATIANS 3:15-18 MSG

But the ORIGINAL PROMISE is the DIRECT BLESSING

of GOD,

RECEIVED by FAITH.

GALATIANS 3:21-22 MSG

If such is the case, is the law, then, an anti-promise, a negation of God’s will for us?

NOT at all.

Its purpose was to make obvious to everyone that we are, in ourselves, out of right relationship with God, and therefore to show us the futility of devising some religious system for getting by our OWN EFFORTS what we can only get by WAITING in FAITH for GOD to COMPLETE HIS PROMISE.

For if any kind of rule-keeping had power to create life in us, we would certainly have gotten it by this time.

Own effort u r already religious

We sometimes act and make decision from the flesh.

GALATIANS 3:23-24 MSG

Until the time when we were mature enough to respond freely in faith to the living God,

we were carefully surrounded and protected by the Mosaic law.

The law was like those Greek tutors, with which you are familiar, who escort children to school and protect them from danger or distraction, making sure the children will really get to the place they set out for.

GALATIANS 3:25-27 MSG

But NOW you HAVE ARRIVED at your DESTINATION:

By FAITH in CHRIST you are IN DIRECT RELATIONSHIP with GOD.

Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start.

It also involved dressing you in an adult FAITH wardrobe—

CHRIST’S LIFE, the FULFILLMENT of GOD’S ORIGINAL PROMISE.

We in Christ can inherit more

GALATIANS 3:28 NLT

There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female.

For you are all ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.

GALATIANS 3:29 NLT

And now that YOU BELONG to CHRIST, you are the true children of Abraham.

You are HIS HEIRS, and GOD’S PROMISE to ABRAHAM BELONGS to YOU.

JAMES 1:18 TPT

God was delighted to GIVE us BIRTH by the truth of HIS INFALLIBLE WORD so that we would FULFILL HIS CHOSEN DESTINY for us and become the FAVORITE ones out of all his creation!

By His mercy, is not by law anymore. We are blessed.

JAMES 1:23 TPT

If you LISTEN to the WORD and don’t LIVE OUT the MESSAGE you HEAR, you become like the person who looks in the mirror of the Word to discover the reflection of his face in the beginning.

JAMES 1:24 TPT

You perceive how GOD SEES YOU in the MIRROR of the WORD,

but then you go OUT and FORGET YOUR DIVINE ORIGIN.

The divine seed is who you are today.

JAMES 1:22-24 MSG

Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but,

letting the WORD go in one ear and out the other.

ACT ON WHAT you HEAR!

Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like.

Act in what you hear.

Faith comes by hearing.

Keep on hearing the message of God. Who you are in Him.

Act on what you hear.

JAMES 1:25 MSG

But whoever catches a glimpse of the REVEALED COUNSEL of GOD —

the FREE LIFE!—

even out of the corner of his eye, and sticks with it, is no distracted scatterbrain but a man or woman of action.

That person will find DELIGHT and AFFIRMATION in the ACTION.

JAMES 1:25 TPT

BUT THOSE who SET their GAZE DEEPLY into the perfecting LAW of LIBERTY are fascinated by and respond to the TRUTH they HEAR and are STRENGTHENED by it—

they EXPERIENCE GOD’S BLESSING in ALL that they do!

When we give it is telling God i trust you

God only act on faith and not fear

What you fear will come to you

Whatever you need, as you go into Word of liberty. Freedom in Christ.

You do things out of truth and not of fear.

Malachi 4:2 AMP

But for you who fear My name [with awe-filled reverence] the SUN of RIGHTEOUSNESS will rise with HEALING in its wings. ["RAYS"]

And you will go FORWARD and LEAP [JOYFULLY ] like calves [RELEASED ] from the stall.

And you will go OUT and FROLIC like WELL-FED CALVES .(NIV)

If I take God at His Word, the responsibility of fulfilling His promise does not lie with me, but with God, who made the promise.

Spurgeon

God prepared earlier. God has all the power to make good every word.
