  2. will light up your day if you have your Bible turned to Genesis chapter twelve

  3. and you're like fine handedisen transity. The topic for today is what is your

  4. isaac? Thinking? Woman? To some much certainly that is that isaac can

  5. represent many things in our life. Now it's okay, just a type of

  6. don't see And today as I share it, what of God? I pray

  7. he will reveal to you what you should do with your isaac. Now like

  8. you finish, are you gaining what you like? Genesis chapter twelve Versus one

  9. to three says, now the Lord has said to Abraham, get out of

  10. your country, from your family, and from your father's house to a land.

  11. I will show you that this sun down, this deep and one.

  12. As people of faith, we must understand that our life is under the guidance

  13. of God. The way sinking the eager moment. You are something so woman

  14. centered in doubts. When God gives a commandment, when God gives an instruction,

  15. our part is to obey as the whole womanful. The greatest gift that

  16. God has given to mankind is the gift of free will relate. That means

  17. God has given you the ability to choose for yourself. When you compare us

  18. to other creations, be their woman relate. They do not have to choose.

  19. They do not have free willer chain. But human beings we have three

  20. will because it lay in. A woman told you a chain. So God

  21. told Abraham, get out of your country, from your family and from your

  22. father's house to a land. I will show you now, yo type and

  23. deep into food. How many of you this morning you want God to show

  24. you where you should go? Tell your manoa, y'all like rounds dyaling woman

  25. she shot out higher woman, Either to show you the next destination you should

  26. be in life, to show you a decision that you should make, or

  27. to show you about your future. Woman telling you that she run food.

  28. What's a center? Woman away like? Stay close to him. He will

  29. show you now, sing in conci it must to God promised Abraham. I

  30. will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name

  31. great, and you shall be a blessing Nadi that will be your need or

  32. beziful the mean way that the food. I will bless those who bless you,

  33. and I will curse him who curses you, and in you all the

  34. families of the earth shall be blessed. We bef the food. So this

  35. is called the Abrahamic blessing hand two fold. We know Abraham to be a

  36. father of faith, tongue man singing. In fact, the entire nation of

  37. Israel and Israelites came from him easily. You and I today may not be

  38. Jews, tyrant. We are known as the gentile, but because we are

  39. people of faith. Because the woman sing the rein our lineage is also from

  40. Abraham. Woman Tau is his home. So when God promises Abraham this Abrahamic

  41. blessing, so it douns like she to for yap Han taker. It is

  42. not just for the Jews, tyrant, it is for us to a gay

  43. woman following me so far man. So Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken

  44. to him, and Lord went with him. So Lord is basically Abraham's nephew.

  45. And Abraham was seventy five years old when he departed from Herran now Yai

  46. Lord yap land uh Uh now Yabolan Highland her Nan say. So God spoke

  47. to Abraham. There was a promise. He stepped out by faith. Now

  48. y like not hydipin sl So to me, faith is about following God.

  49. Now they were in constration, and in this following, it's about getting out

  50. of our comfort zone, knowing that our dependence on God is one hundred percent.

  51. Not the constray it had as it isn't a guardian. It had to

  52. the sus She without so much she eat by baying the same license. Because

  53. Abraham was probably comfortable in his own country, probably comfortable where he was when

  54. I didn't hansuful and God didn't told Abraham, I will show you Canaan.

  55. Now the whole sern him gas away around. Then I will show you Jericho.

  56. We're gonna saw a yearly girl, I will show you better time.

  57. You're gonna show battle tofund Just say to a land, I will show you.

  58. That's the way. Show cheat out the eager tifund, meaning when Abraham

  59. went out, he didn't have God didn't show him a specific lands. The

  60. whole nursing circuit cheated. Not it quite deep. That is faith, not

  61. to the same thing. We are people of faith. You're seeing sing the

  62. rest say with me, I'm a person of faith. Yeah, that we

  63. walked by faith and not by side. Woman sing seeing opinion, because if

  64. Abraham were to be walking by his side, he wouldn't have went out has

  65. pinioning eating. Too many Christians are living in a comfort where we tell God,

  66. God, you showed me exactly what first before I'm the decision to go

  67. hand way Jill Sney sing the functionally what tied ship? Too many Christians are

  68. living, Show me an answerface before I decide the way, surney and what,

  69. show me what to do before I do? Neon she run? What

  70. kinda was she? More? What she too? But when you clearly hurt

  71. from God that mahanting to the Johnson nineteen. It's all about obeying him.

  72. That's full time faith. It's about hearing from God and acting on what we

  73. have heard, saying sing that use tingings listening woman, So hearing from God

  74. and not acting on it is called fitlessness, no roga manting gins listening.

  75. I always tell people who ask me pass, how can I listen from God?

  76. Now that she won't turned out linking. Obviously God's voice has really been

  77. recorded in the Bible. First reference is always the written word of God eating

  78. cent. So we must start there, and I A wills tell them if

  79. you want to listen from God. My next question is are you ready to

  80. obey him when he speaks to you? What's the way shurn? Because if

  81. you're not ready to obey him regardless of whatever he will tell you, then

  82. what's the point of wanting to listen to him? Now? How your life

  83. shurned for nineteen the summer year. How we need the voice of God in

  84. our life because without his voice, we won't have a direction of where to

  85. go. You put, Without his voice, we won't be confident in making

  86. key decisions in our life. Yeah, who are you in the department sing

  87. things? So we need to come to a place where we hear accurately from

  88. God and step out in obedience. Now, deeple juices the treating and listening.

  89. Every one of you can hear from God may eager and every one of

  90. you is a child of God. Manager, you must understand that Christianity as

  91. a pretty earlier It's not just a religion the woman serve to women. Remember,

  92. Christianity is a relationship with God, and what grows a relationship is called

  93. communication. Did do toga? Guanti turns under God longs to speak to you,

  94. curt faith on God longs to let you know how much she loves you,

  95. and what are his plans and his purposes for you? Sur face on

  96. home, moder your life. She juns and tak Curgain. That is young.

  97. We need to do our part to pursue him, to hear from him

  98. and linking from his word the Bible, from his spirit, his Holy Spirit

  99. who is living in you so Doman, and from his people. How are

  100. you harding? Were your leaders, your friends? Woman upon your woman?

  101. And so it's seventy five years old. Abraham stepped out by faith in being

  102. God now yah and had his shahids. The being sings in tATu. You

  103. know when people get older that you're like, you're allowed your show. It's

  104. harder to change like us, guy Pin, it's hard to embrace new things

  105. like DNA seeing the out Uh those are older from me. You you can

  106. disagree, but this is my general observation. Is he who is you pull?

  107. Because that guy, it's a very natural thing scene because as people are

  108. older, we like what is comfortable for us in wayn woman so much going

  109. true food. We prefer something that is very predictable because that speaks about stability.

  110. Well, maybe it's a thing that don't see even one thing. You

  111. can observe this even in your marketplace. Okay, it's when a person has

  112. worked for a very long time in the company Tiger, and it's very hard

  113. embrace change that the leadership would like to drive now linked out and harm the

  114. guy ben So seventy five years old. Abraham was an old man, loud,

  115. but he didn't give himself excuses like you know, I have lived life

  116. long enough to say that God, you are wrong and I'm right, because

  117. how mad okayon her ticle, you're aading. He chose faith and he stepped

  118. out the scene sing it taed to the nipoo. Abraham didn't tolll God,

  119. God, go, please select other people. Yeah, Americans, and they

  120. probably select the younger ones onion and select someone who is twenty five and five.

  121. Young people, they have a lot of strength, they have a lot

  122. of courage, they have love energy. God. Perhaps when you select the

  123. young one, they will chung for you, They will go for you.

  124. How now, okay, son us say the Igoran and I had rainy tom

  125. So I'm trying to say is that h is not affected. Sooner girl,

  126. he where they are young or God can still speak to you. James Chapter

  127. twelve, verse seven. Then the Lord appeared to Abraham and said, to

  128. your descendants, I will give this land. It is there he built an

  129. altar to the Lord who appeared to him thirty again the whole yearinly wait wait

  130. time. And he moved from there to the mountain east of Battle, and

  131. he pitched his tent with battle on the west and eye on the east to

  132. tay. Don't be understand that dunpan water, so don't be I I there

  133. he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord

  134. praternally over yeah into a panch your yeah. Mean. When you read this

  135. scripture, it gives you a good gleams of Abraham's lifestyle, danny like you

  136. can't ya. Subsequently, when you read to Gene Sis thirteen, you realize

  137. that Abraham consistently built altar for God whenever there was a significant life changing moment

  138. for him. Nah, that woman take just you you get to un thirteen.

  139. This's a whole had they evations to Tan and he will always call on

  140. the name of the Lord. That turns on the way that she choke out

  141. and me. So building an altar in biblical times or contexts was a symbolic

  142. act of worship and dedication to God. That's in the bathing sounds in the

  143. thing. By the same waydation, awation and authors back then it's used as

  144. a place of sacrifice, not each year the t tana just like she and

  145. to have communion with godfan So the althar that Abraham builds now yeah, were

  146. typically made from what we call an huge stones, not just a ton high

  147. mad thousands that they basically stones that hasn't been cut by humans, just payron

  148. she stones that hasn't been shaped by human hands. Mayo Young run this show

  149. like she was negating round. So next Zodus twenty twenty five, God told

  150. Moses back then, So Moses came hundreds of years after after Abraham, but

  151. back then got really had this. He said, if you make me an

  152. old stone, you shall not build it off heustone, for if you use

  153. your tool on it, you have profaned. The time was ta yeah,

  154. Borland, the nugger type hold tay down, show down, the roadway war.

  155. It was the time booker you thousands in Joe Batan ser So it takes

  156. a lot of effort to build an altar. So you know, yeah,

  157. like she to eager. Think about the size of the stones, you think

  158. about the ability needed to place the structure of the altar. She ton eager

  159. more than nine. And for Abraham it serves as a physical markers for his

  160. significant encounters with God. N Yeah, y b l D. Now you

  161. might be asking me, so past do we need to build an altar?

  162. Now? Was like she just a tan figure relatively speaking, you should now

  163. just it holds you on the founcers that the modern day altar on the contemporary

  164. place of altar for earth to me is our personal devotion spaces. Now uh

  165. tina just a woman d Lincio. Defund your devotion time, your prayer time.

  166. Are you like Abraham who have a habit of calling on the name of

  167. God? Gausen, Do you know why Abraham is able to hear from God

  168. accurately in some way hunting the Johnson linking man? Do you know why Abraham

  169. is able to have the courage to step out in faith because he had always

  170. had that lifestyle of seeking God into sun word. So Abraham obviously was a

  171. God fearing man. Naya. He depended on godound elisen, he remembered God

  172. Tartans sometimes in life it's so easy to forget godundas at the height of your

  173. success, gentleman, just turn gonna twig out from her. It's so easy

  174. to put God at the shelf. Then that's a faith woman, ju bas

  175. and found the apn. Abraham was really successful when God spoke to him.

  176. Yeah, dancing her. That's the whole No, she said her down so

  177. faith big family. His family was small, but eventually when he moved on,

  178. he had a lot of servants. He had a lot of livestocks.

  179. Downs the whole tire hand the son show hi you daughter diggers saren that she

  180. full hand. But despite the prosperity that God gave to Abraham, because they

  181. never forsoo God, because the down Sair said the normal dog gate Hi one

  182. Sason, so seventy five Abraham went out. Now that ye true? True?

  183. Chill if I tell you Abraham what you usually think of downward, give

  184. me a shout, sam I is that Isaac? You usually think about Isaac?

  185. Because Abraham was very old. Sarah his wife was also old. Now

  186. now is that so? Now? Uh y Salah? So you go to

  187. Genesis chapter fifteen, Man, can transity issue down some number of years have

  188. passed by now isn't called the halt. And many things happened, from Abraham's

  189. life being threatened in Egypt to how his nephew Lord was rescued from Sodoma when

  190. God rained brimstone of fire into these two cities. Now just fastened halt answers

  191. just ya Thai man bayk her boothhood, the sitting fashion, so inst woman.

  192. He says, after these things basically means after all that I've mentioned just

  193. now, after these things, the word of the Lord came to Abraham in

  194. a vision, saying, do not be afraid, Abraham, I am your

  195. shield, your excellently great reward. Na that s the boohood. Yet in

  196. the tune pie dam said, Lord God, what would you give me,

  197. seeing I go childless and the hair of my house is Eliza of Damascus.

  198. Yab yeah yea. Yet then Abram said, look, you have given me

  199. no offspring. Indeed, no one born in my house is my heir.

  200. Ya mayor gay earth nation, read the hosts and behold, the word of

  201. the Lord came to him, saying, this one shall not be your heir,

  202. but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.

  203. This is Yeah, what are you doing your it has s children people,

  204. Germany, the whole center tie Germany the host. Then he brought him outside

  205. and said, look now towards heaven and count the stars if you're able to

  206. number them. And he said to him, so shall your descendants be ituly

  207. titled that one man is sure can sing them through the glima. You do

  208. it, Jana roots And he believed in the Lord, and he accounted it

  209. to him for righteousness. Ye eats weight hard e. Abram always wanted the

  210. sun for someone to inherit and carry on his legacy and lineage. Yea face

  211. uncle, that she try it. Both him and his wife have passed the

  212. physiological state to be able to produce Salah and na hant. So actually his

  213. wife was physically uh can't produce anymore, but Abraham still can because Abraham had

  214. a child with Hagar, which is Ishmael nat Salah. Tell you either took

  215. a uh. Probably this will be for another topic, but basically, in

  216. my opinion, Abraham tried to engineer God's promises. She she is seeing she

  217. so at the age of eighty six, ty pa, you say, Hagar

  218. bore Ishmail to Abraham. Uh siad Yeah, imatern this is this is in

  219. Genesis sixteen sixteen. Just today transity this, okay, So let's fast forward

  220. again. God told Abraham that you will have a child. Now we will

  221. look at verse Genesis seventeen, verse nineteen. Oh my life can't transity this

  222. this? Yeah? So God said, no, Sarah, your wife will

  223. bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will

  224. establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him.

  225. Salah yao again say is well? Yeah? Things so the y the

  226. u uh Chapter eighteen was eleven. It says, now Abraham and Sarah were

  227. all well at once in age, and Sarah had passed the age of child

  228. bearing. Salah my uh shaht right. Then God needed to assure all of

  229. them by saying it was fourteen. Is anything too hard for the Lord?

  230. Yeah, the appointed time. I will return to you according to the time

  231. of life, and Sarah shall have a son Di disiou yachiyo nant meaning answer

  232. shadah being speak now. One one to say is that they were in an

  233. impossible situation. Now suhamada to this may or mayo konkan. They had a

  234. desire haman you kwan it was impossible for them to have it because it's a

  235. turner. May male non lead, don't go to you. Down to Is

  236. twenty one, verse five, it says Abraham was one hundred years old when

  237. his when his son Isaac was born to him the transitya and by stray,

  238. so Sarah was actually ninety years old. Salon hold you. And in verse

  239. seven it says, who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children?

  240. For I have borne him a son in his old age? Shandon isay

  241. heine in wait, put yourself in Abraham and Sarah's shoe found you always wanted

  242. a child Talmad He not fulfill his promise Inunahammad to give you a child like

  243. she gain me. He would the child be precious to you? Say your

  244. height? Would you love the child? Wait? Right, who doesn't?

  245. You're right? So they loved Isaac tamer whey i isa But in Genesis twenty

  246. two was one down the idiot coming to the crux of the message like ours

  247. don't did now. It came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham

  248. and said to Abraham Abraham, and he said, here I am down idiot,

  249. so that yeah, yea hand yeah, hand journey. God will always

  250. test certain time eating like she k woman Robert test us. We must be

  251. found ready when the time comes certain ways say yeah woman downy woman in says.

  252. Then he said, take now your son, your only son, Isaac,

  253. whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him

  254. there as burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you

  255. s sny that doesn't need the earth situtional need to send the earth needs to

  256. either one mona ty war the sun sound bat way fancy? I mean,

  257. like, what type of God is this? Asked me to sacrifice my son,

  258. this my younger son. You think about it logically, mhm, we

  259. will think that God is a cruel God. Now questions hand coulded right.

  260. I'm gonna shed later on some inside of why Abraham knew he can pass the

  261. test? Now the what do you? Andout way? God take you?

  262. And I probably have heard our friends say God is testing me. I'm a

  263. station in life where God is testing me. What's defunse? So when we

  264. say that we are tested by God, what does it really mean? That

  265. woman just the Bason kow Yen this is the whole that is someson. Do

  266. we actually know what we are saying? That's some more man, because when

  267. we say that we are being tested by God. Basically, God will always

  268. test you in the things that you love. Woman, woman's hold on not

  269. eating the fund man means woman, God will always test you in the things

  270. you always always hold dear to not eating. Don't see the woman. That's

  271. how you know. It's a test from God. No needs, You're determine

  272. your level of knowing God. Do you really know God? Lie around?

  273. It? Can't Andy turned the for the audiation. I believe Abraham really knew

  274. God something face handed something in the back of Abraham mine he knew God.

  275. It is God is for life. Do you the face something that has see

  276. her down? Gods and means perhaps he knew it was a set up,

  277. but he choose to obey God because that, like she just the test of

  278. God will also reveal your level of trust down. Uh, woman, take

  279. a she beout that woman the seing think how the shaping? Can you trust

  280. God? License? Because if you don't know God, you can't trust him?

  281. Because even woman audition goes back to knowing God. That woman, if

  282. you really know God, you were trusting actually seen light? If it also

  283. show where is the level of your relationship with God? You can't say,

  284. woman, one one see the digger because your level of trust is the barrel

  285. meter of your relationship. Even woman and God see I'm seeing her sink a

  286. yat. Level of trust is high. Relationship is good. Now woman think

  287. hou the tigger turned to. Level of trust is slow. Level of relationship

  288. is low. Woman, woman, don't have a quantity us foot. But

  289. also determine your placement of value. Do you value God more than what?

  290. Or do you value the Isaac more than God? You pant, woman,

  291. but I found a way to marcerf for Canton to you woman, that is

  292. can don't eat out question. So tests will always reveal what is in your

  293. heart way that she's duncing woman in Sancho the true thing and God often tested

  294. so that when it is revealed, he will give us the opportunity to either

  295. correct it like yeah, woman not wait, or to remind us that he's

  296. got and not that she is teasing woman. So tasks. So we have

  297. to remember, if you want to hear from God, you must be like

  298. Abraham. Now Intenna have a lifestyle of building an altar. Now your takes

  299. a d nd d T. You must know how to sacrifice. You must

  300. have a lifestyle of calling out to God. Your got choke out Sunday doesn't

  301. for function. You will hear clearly from God in a posture of worship that

  302. is being diligent and not lazy way, So your team out Lune. When

  303. I say have your personal altar, that was true girl, and the times

  304. to help. It means you're going to a place where you disconnect from your

  305. phone, You disconnect from anything that is distracting to you, and you call

  306. on to the Lord. What is it like thirteen needed wasn't around in Ferncy?

  307. That don't see that one? Child? Friends, I know you can

  308. find God through YouTube's t I G Real Facebook and you listen to all this

  309. wonderful message Fami like Chen. But you must take your own personal responsibility,

  310. like what Jesus says, Go in to that secret place, shut the door

  311. behind you, pray and sick for God. Conserner woman, Yeah, yes

  312. for woman that he meits the troubaman guangshan like changing that changed your sin.

  313. So Abraham obviously knew it was a test yeah. Faith. In Hebrews,

  314. Chapter eleven, verse seventeen, it says by faith Abraham, when he was

  315. tested, offer up Isaac. And he who has received the promise, offered

  316. up his only begotten son of whom it was said in Isaac, your seat

  317. shall be called, concluding that God was able to raise him up even from

  318. the date from which he also received him. In a figurative sin sibili this

  319. interesting based yes, hold you by exacting san Juan seiling so intry earth sang

  320. learn how to earth to turn yours don't EXAs and the ties to tie turn

  321. away need the whole tai EVAs hand and Gildrian tones city food ti fund food

  322. to the way tired earth lie. You need to know the promises of God

  323. are fatal fataleteen to instes summer, because at the point of being tested,

  324. you can be comforted by God's promises without basic Yes, that's the whole you

  325. know in the center insuy like she bad and food. What did God promises

  326. Abraham in Isaac your seat shall be called? Now it's like you gay need

  327. What did God promises Abraham that your descendants will be as numerous as the stars

  328. and the sand? You know, take the whole. So from Abraham to

  329. Isaac two numerous descendants, this means remember what I said, God will always

  330. test you for what you know. Just a certain she tettlement, don't.

  331. The family means woman, God will always test you for what you know.

  332. The family means he's a fair. He won't test you things that you don't

  333. know. Don't see when you go to the exam hall, counc defounders her.

  334. Most of you are tested by what you have learned or what you have

  335. read houses. So just a wait, just the county, don't if you're

  336. entering the exam hall and you're being tested out of six questions, all questions

  337. came up from things that you have never studied before, how would you feel

  338. tremblilty? Woman? It is my belief that God, when he tests you,

  339. he always tests you in the areas that you already know. Were eating

  340. with the family a woman. So what Abraham know? Now? Y Abraham

  341. knew that the promise is found in Isaac like ying she just said. And

  342. if God were to be able to say, to sacrifice Isaac at the altar,

  343. but isa like she face, And if it's indeed that Isaac was sacrificed,

  344. and he's no longer alive, not real God. And how that will

  345. mean God is also breaking his covenant. Now you're eating portolo because there's no

  346. longer Isaac that you But God told Abraham in Isaac, that's where your seat

  347. is. Because the whole, the whole title to that. And if you

  348. know God long enough, you will know that God is always consistent and God

  349. doesn't contradict his nature. Now generally the way way fun So when Abraham was

  350. at the point when he was tested Sedian, he choose to trust God.

  351. She is seeing license and above all he understood the promises of God that soil

  352. it sound. So in verse five twenty two, he says, Abraham said

  353. to his young man, stay here with the donkey the lad and I will

  354. go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you. Yeah her

  355. side, she bye bye hoa it down. You know, Bible study,

  356. we also have to look at what we call the first mentioned in the Bible.

  357. Now that some man your life, she can't ye, it's uh so.

  358. So the first mention of worship in the Bible is found here. Now

  359. certain manou thing why first mention is important is because it's significant now, uh

  360. bay, something significant in the sense that you have to look at the context

  361. of why the worship was used. Can take painting. So the root word

  362. for worship here basically means it is to prostrate, to bow down. The

  363. act of bowing down in homemade buy and inferior before a superior being a ruler

  364. social was more superior socially economically to one who bows now. It is a

  365. common term also for coming before God in worship, and it also applies to

  366. other God's idols and such. Now think by eat out you say like you

  367. gesy that you you gone tyrun run linked the same way just like sound I

  368. mention, think by that God. So so in this context, worship also

  369. signifies a form of surrender, So that a bath so thin by is because

  370. what was Brand supposed to do? He was supposed to go worship and then

  371. sacrifice that you're gonna right, So every time you enter into presss of God

  372. to worship elements you think by every time you go to your quiet time,

  373. your prayer time, person, you build your personal altar, you're the tag

  374. and hip that k her. Essentially, what are you surrendering? Die?

  375. Since the systemer I have this fear about contemporary modern churches today or even since

  376. you sin die for you is it? I hope you don't grow up knowing

  377. that worship is just about singing songs. Well, niga uh, just a

  378. jedus thing by just because we can sing until our lungs come out, we

  379. can sing until our face turned blue. But if our heart is not surrendered

  380. to God, nothing changes. Housing use when the single one back and if

  381. our heart doesn't change, if we didn't surrender what we are supposed to surrender

  382. to God, then it's just a cara okay session now urgle women seeing male

  383. interest? Guy, so ya young? Not so when whenever you look at

  384. the word worship, you gotta look at it as it's an act of bowing

  385. down to God. So now, man, candn't think by the shona just

  386. a seeing a woman? Don't you see that? Take the same way?

  387. And I don't want actually like to be a church where during worship time,

  388. right, we are so distracted. Well if you're a woman, actually I

  389. used tamika, I think by the whole face fun scene, the worship leaders

  390. here singing when the thing by dining thing by that is hungered as well.

  391. We are scrolling through for taking picture here and there. Now, if you're

  392. serving in our media team, is okay because that is your worship. You're

  393. serving. If you're not serving and you're not doing anything, focus on godet

  394. need at the point of worship. If you're busy replying your message unnecessarily,

  395. you're saying that God, you're not superior. I am superior. Ruin is

  396. it? I think by the Just's he is a type of certainly may or

  397. not. That's at the point of prayer. Even in your personal altar.

  398. The kirentity tines help. If you're phoned by your side, you're saying God,

  399. you're not worth my time, You're not worth my attention, because how

  400. can you pray? And sadly? Oh, then you reply? You think

  401. about it, right, It does look foolish the dark around here. So

  402. camp she concerned since she said the face dinner naga because there's no revere,

  403. there's no reverence given to God. May send the eager chong. It was

  404. twelve when Isaac wanted sorry, when Abraham wanted to sacrifice that God called out

  405. and he said, do not lay your hand on the let or do anything

  406. to him. For now I know that you fear God since you have not

  407. withheld your son, your only son, from me. The changes this changes

  408. book at and book her height. Even the earth is usually gate war.

  409. So why did God tested Abraham like it is to see if Abraham would God

  410. turn? Your life? Can't had point where you think wisten. So the

  411. context here fear basically means is to stand in awe, not a simple fear,

  412. but in reverence, whereby the individual recognizes the power and position of the

  413. individual revered, meaning you recognize God's power, you recognize God's position, and

  414. you render God proper respect that I think Way, it's something just a high

  415. path, Think Way, don't just eat think Way. Eager and her Tva

  416. bing gay. You tied into the n and you're able to submit to a

  417. proper ectical relationship to God. God like you turn, for it hasn't for

  418. you. You listened in your tea and see the day you lose the fear

  419. of God in your life now God likes you think, that's the day your

  420. life will go spiraling down at and just Neider right. The day you lose

  421. reverence to God, the day you lose seeing God as someone who is special

  422. is the day where you're in danger, you're eating. It's the number number

  423. more nineteen just face by the atn The wisest king ever lived, King Solomon

  424. in eclasis this chapter five, verse seven, say four. In the multitude

  425. of dreams and many words, there is also vanity the tran Solomon one you
