Genesis 12:1-4 (NASB). “Now the LORD said to Abram, ‘Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I Will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." So Abram went forth as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.”

“When God Says “Go” By In Touch Ministries:

“Our faith in God grows when we choose to obey even when it’s hard.”

“In verse 1 of today’s passage, the English translation “go” doesn’t capture the emphasis suggested by the verb in Hebrew, the original language of the Old Testament. This word is not a suggestion, a statement, or a request; it’s a command—”Go! Now! Get up and move!”

The rest of verse 1 underscores precisely what God’s “Go!” would look like for the aging Abram. The Lord was calling him to leave everything he knew—his land, his family, and his home—to head into the unknown without a map. God had a destination in mind for him and his future descendants. And He promised to show the way and let Abram know when he arrived.

Verse 4 tells us Abram went. Though it’s possible he may have had second thoughts, Scripture doesn’t record them. Instead, the account tells us God commanded and Abram, in faith, obeyed.

Are there things God has commanded us to do that we treat as mere suggestions, statements, or requests? We sometimes look for loopholes or choose a semi-committed “maybe” in response to something God has instructed us to do. Abram understood there was only one righteous response to God’s imperative “Go!” That was a “Yes, Lord”—which he promptly demonstrated with his full obedience.”

The Lord Was With Him (1 Chronicles 11:1-9)

The Lord almighty was with David. And that is what made all the difference.

All Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’” When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron…

Forgiveness in Action

Forgiveness is the act of pardoning or releasing someone from an offense, wrongdoing, or debt. At the moment someone sins against me, it’s important that I forgive them and let the matter go. When I forgive, the matter is transferred to God, and the offender must deal directly with the Lord, and the Lord with him. By faith, I have fulfilled what the Lord requires of me. To ruminate on the offense…

Malachi 2:5 A Reason For God's Covenant

My covenant was with him, one of life and peace, and I gave them to him that he might fear Me; so he feared Me and was reverent before My name. Malachi 2:5 Treaties are made all the time between two nations for peace. Various agreements are made to keep two groups from fighting each other. Both sides have to agree to the treaty and obey it in order for it to be effective. As both follow the…

Obedience is doing whatever God asks without reservation or hesitation.

Do Not Reason with God

The main reason for us, to not reason with God, and not argue with him, is because he knows everything and is perfect, and we know only something and are not perfect. God does not make mistakes, but we do. If God is perfect, then what he says is perfect too. Even if we do not like sometimes what God says to do, he knows better, and sees much more and better than we do. He always knows what he is…

#279/280 Title: Stonewall House upon the Rock Description: Faith Expression Artwork or Image for Bible Verses Luke 6:46-48 and Entitled, “Stonewall House upon the Rock”; About Knowing and Obeying the Words of God Bible Verse: “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.” (Luke 6:46-48 / KJV)

Imagine meeting your favorite demon brother, getting to know him, developing a massive crush on them and the two of you eventually start talking/dating.

When you first met him your impression was “this dude fucks” but the more you talk to him you start to wonder “wait…has…has he ever actually fucked???” The way he blushes and gives this nervous laugh when you make inappropriate jokes and how he seems so much more shy and innocent than you ever pictured a demon being makes you start to think he really is a virgin.

Then eventually a conversation one day reveals that no, he is not a virgin actually, but he’s so fucking intimidated by your beauty, personality and sheer aura that you make him feel like a virgin. Constantly second guessing himself and not knowing how to handle such an amazing creature. If he thinks too long about how this little human has absolutely broken him, brought him to his knees and made him want to worship them??? He becomes an absolute blushing mess.

The thought of just holding your hand and kissing you makes him uncontrollably horny, and the thought of actually getting to fuck you sends him over the edge every single time.

Congratulations! You may not have felt like the most stunning person in the human realm, but down here you’ve managed to take a demon fuck boy and turn him into a puddle who dreams nightly of you, all without lifting a finger.

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” —Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

“...for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” —Philippians 2:13 (ESV)

“What does Philippians 2:13 mean?” By BibleRef.com:

“In verse 12, Paul commands the Philippian Christians to “work out [their] own salvation”, meaning they are to put the truth of their belief into practice. What they are in Christ needs to be “worked out” through their actions and attitudes. The reason for this command is given here in verse 13: God is acting through the lives of these believers. This understanding should lead believers to a deep sense of awe and appreciation.

Paul then adds two areas in which God operates in the life of the believer. First, God works in us to “will” His good pleasure. This includes the idea of placing desires or leading a believer to serve the Lord.

Second, God works in us “to work” for His good pleasure. God's Spirit in the believer gives both the desire and the strength to live for the Lord.“Work” appears as a common theme in this letter (Philippians 1:6; 2:12, 25, 30; 4:3). The idea of “his good pleasure” involves obedience (Philippians 2:12) according to God's Spirit. This is not the legalistic obedience of the law that Paul speaks against in the false teachings of the circumcision group, but rather obedience based on a love for God based on the Spirit living within the believer.”

Zechariah 6:15 Diligently Obeying God

Even those from afar shall come and build the temple of the Lord. Then you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.
