First Loved
It was Abraham's life God was asking for. God was asking for his complete and devoted trust in His word, that he would trust God and love God above and beyond any earthly possession or attachment.
Knowing myself as I do. I doubt seriously I could offer up a sacrifice of my sons or daughter. When I read his word, I was astounded, hurt, and dismayed. Because I knew in my heart that is... NOT the kind of God I serve. I know, and YOU know, Jehovah is a loving God, a compassionate and righteous Lord to serve, because His love endures forever. It was a test children. A statement made to prove loyalty, unswerving faithfulness for the trials to come. At no time was Jacob in danger of losing His life. The faithfulness of Abram proved to God that His children can be trusted to carry out His divine plan. The stage was set for the Father of testers to prove His enduring love and unswerving faithfulness to disobedient and sinful children. He experienced the pains and joys of humanity, ultimately suffering in our place as a sacrifice for our sins. While Jesus never gave up His divinity, He chose to take the form of a human to show the full extent of His love.
Where is there a Father on earth who would have the bigness of heart to carry out such a scheme? There was no other way, no other route to take, no other name to claim our salvation; committed, anointed, and blessed throughout heaven and earth; bruised, pierced, thrashed, and mocked to save such wretched souls. A marriage made in heaven, blessed and sanctified. “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.” How far we have come. By grace we have been delivered; by mercy, first loved above all others, through an enduring everlasting Love, we are and evermore, thought of - First.
He is present in the lives of each believer in Christ (Galatians 2:20)
God is present on His throne (Revelation 4:2)
He was present at the Jewish temple (2 Chronicles 7:2)

Enough
Psalm 100:4-5 NLT
Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.

Faith
 |
Your Faith Must Be Unshakable. Little by little the veil is being drawn aside, revealing My truths. You are beginning to realize that all power, all wisdom, all understanding, is right there within you. You can draw from the very Source any time you choose to do so. Nothing will be withheld from you when you seek Him earnestly with a real true desire to find the truth, Live the truth, and BE the truth. Believe in My name and you can ask for anything. and it is yours, but you must believe. Your faith must be unshakable! It grows and grows as you witness My wonders coming about in your daily lives.

I Am Going To
But forget all that - It is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. For I am about to do something new. Isaiah 43:18-19 NLT

The Peacemaker
Power is the special and distinctive prerogative of God, and God alone. Power belongs to God. God is God: and power belongs to him. If he delegates a portion of it to his creatures, yet it still is his power. The sun in the heavens, although it is “…like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course” [Psalm 19:5], yet it has no power to move through the u...
niverse except as God directs it..... We will look at the power of the Holy Spirit in three ways this morning. First, the outward and visible displays of his power, second, the inward and spiritual manifestations of his power, and third, the future works of his power. I trust that the power of the Spirit will be clearly presented to your souls.
