  Genesis chapter 15, let us pray. Our God is greater and our God
• 0:07
  is higher. There is none like our God, the
• 0:10
  God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we thank you, the God of
• 0:14
  Israel, We thank you for all of the many blessings that you're
• 0:19
  already pouring out. Lord, we enter your gates with
• 0:22
  praise and Thanksgiving. God, we have clean hands and a
• 0:26
  pure heart. We've not bowed down to idols or
• 0:29
  swore by a false God, for this is the generation that seeks thy
• 0:33
  face, O Jacob. Lord, pour out your spirit, God.
• 0:39
  Bring revival, God, all across this globe, every nation and
• 0:44
  every people group and every continent.
• 0:47
  God, pour out your spirit. God, I pray that many sons and
• 0:53
  daughters will come into the fold.
• 0:57
  God, I pray for the Spirit of Prophecy to break out.
• 1:00
  God. Dream dreams see visions God and
• 1:04
  visitations God. Visit the places where you are
• 1:08
  outlawed and banned and the Bible is illegal.
• 1:12
  God, I pray you'll continue to reveal yourself to them in the
• 1:16
  mighty name of Jesus Christ. Call them unto yourself, Lord,
• 1:20
  Bring them in the fold. God.
• 1:23
  Save the elect, Lord, and then elect some more.
• 1:28
  We love you, King Jesus, we thank you for your holy
• 1:33
  scriptures. We thank you.
• 1:34
  They're alive and active. We thank you for access to the
• 1:37
  holiest of holy places. Continue, Father, to speak
• 1:43
  boldly and mightily unto us, or reveal your eternal plans
• 1:48
  through your Word. God, take the blinders off.
• 1:50
  Unstop our ears. God, heighten our senses so that
• 1:54
  we can know that we know that we know that we know that you are
• 1:57
  for us and not against us, that you're fighting our every
• 2:01
  battle. And you are more than a
• 2:02
  conqueror. And God in Christ Jesus we can
• 2:07
  see you Lord, and we can be near to you Father, and feel the
• 2:12
  touch God, and touch the hem of your garment Lord, and look upon
• 2:16
  you and gaze upon you. Lord, purge out all of the dross
• 2:20
  and the impurities and refine us in the refiners.
• 2:24
  Fire God, sanctify us. Consecrate this temple, God.
• 2:28
  We get rid of all of the self-made idols, Lord, we rebuke
• 2:35
  Mammon and the love of Mammon. God.
• 2:41
  Lord, I pray that you'll continue to help us to step into
• 2:45
  the reality that you're moving mightily all around us.
• 2:50
  Lord, help us to know that you are near to us.
• 2:55
  Help us to know that we are the peacemakers.
• 2:59
  But we pray for the strength of the ekklesi of the called out
• 3:02
  ones. We love you, King Jesus, send
• 3:05
  your holy and precious name that I pray.
• 3:07
  Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 3:14
  After these things, the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a
• 3:17
  vision, saying, fear not Abram, I am your shield and your
• 3:21
  exceedingly great reward. What did he have to be afraid
• 3:25
  of? Well, it could be that he just
• 3:27
  kicked the tail of the victors there, old Chad Lammer and all
• 3:33
  of his Confederate armies. And you could see here that
• 3:37
  there could have been some retaliation and he was fearful.
• 3:40
  But what did God say? He came in.
• 3:42
  Anytime we're fearful, we can be consoled by a loving, all
• 3:46
  powerful God who can instill fear into the hearts of men
• 3:52
  where they do not retaliate. Praise God, I've seen it with my
• 3:55
  own eyes too. And Abram said, Lord God, what
• 3:59
  will you give me, seeing that I go childless and the steward of
• 4:03
  my house is Eliezer of Damascus. So here real recognizes real.
• 4:09
  And you see that Abram is like, thanks God for protecting me,
• 4:13
  but what does it even matter in the end?
• 4:16
  I'm going to die childless and you promised me a child.
• 4:19
  And now if I do die, it's going to be Eliezer that takes over my
• 4:23
  state. 3 And Abram said, Behold to me, you have given me no
• 4:29
  seed. And lo, one born in my house is
• 4:32
  my heir. O Eliezer somehow has become the
• 4:36
  heir. For And behold, the word of the
• 4:39
  Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be your heir, but he
• 4:45
  that shall come forth out of your own bowel shall be your
• 4:48
  heir. So God is promising him again
• 4:51
  that he's going to give him a child five.
• 4:55
  And he brought him forth abroad and said, look now towards
• 4:58
  heaven and tell the stars if you are able to number them.
• 5:03
  And he said to him, so shall your seed be.
• 5:06
  He said, look up to the sky and count the stars and see if you
• 5:10
  can number them. And of course he could not.
• 5:13
  But God knows them all by name. And he says that he's going to
• 5:17
  have more descendants than there are stars in the sky.
• 5:22
  And that is you, friend, and that is me, and that is the
• 5:25
  Jews, and that is the Gentiles who come in to the fold. 6 And
• 5:35
  he believed in the Lord, and he counted it to him for
• 5:38
  righteousness. It was accredited to him, his
• 5:42
  righteousness, because he believed the Lord.
• 5:44
  And what he said, he took him at his word.
• 5:47
  He did not doubt it. He did not try to ask for any
• 5:51
  kind of sign. He just says OK.
• 5:54
  And then God put it in his account that he was righteous
• 5:58
  because of his belief. And it's no different for you
• 6:01
  and for me. We believe upon the Lord Jesus
• 6:04
  Christ is our salvation, and then He credits us the Holy
• 6:11
  Spirit. He credits us the name written
• 6:14
  in the book of life. He credits to us eternity,
• 6:17
  friends, because we take Him at His Word.
• 6:20
  We believe Him on faith. It is faith, friends.
• 6:25
  It is grace through faith that saves us.
• 6:29
  And that's what's happening here for Abraham. 7 And he said to
• 6:37
  him, I am the Lord that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees to
• 6:41
  give you this land, to inherit it.
• 6:43
  So he takes them, and he says, look around, look up, look all
• 6:47
  around, I'm going to give it all to you and your descendants. 8
• 6:53
  And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall
• 6:57
  inherit it? So here he does ask for a sign.
• 7:00
  He says, How will I know? 9 And he said to him, take a
• 7:05
  heifer 3 years old, a female goat three years old, a ram 3
• 7:11
  years old, a turtle dove and a young pigeon.
• 7:13
  So here Abraham would have known what this was about.
• 7:17
  This was in our day, in our hour.
• 7:20
  What we would do is we'd go down to the bank and we'd get a title
• 7:23
  deed and you'd have it notarized.
• 7:26
  And that's what's about to happen.
• 7:28
  God is saying, listen, we'll make a covenant.
• 7:30
  We'll cut a covenant together, you and I Let's see how it goes.
• 7:37
  10 And he took to him all these, and he divided them in the
• 7:40
  midst, and he laid each piece one against the other, But the
• 7:44
  birds he did not divide. So here he would have cut the
• 7:48
  goat, the ram and the bull in half and laid the pieces on one
• 7:53
  side and laid the other pieces on the other side, and the two
• 7:57
  would pass through the middle. In this bloody mess.
• 8:01
  They would pass through the middle.
• 8:03
  And what it would signify is that if you did not hold up to
• 8:07
  the your end of the bargain, what happened to these will
• 8:11
  happen to you. This was serious business,
• 8:16
  friends, and Abram understood what God was after.
• 8:20
  So he did what he asked, and then he waited for him.
• 8:24
  And when the birds came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove
• 8:28
  them away. What does this signify, friends?
• 8:33
  He has been waiting so long that now these birds are trying to
• 8:37
  come down and mess with this sacrifice, and it seems as if
• 8:41
  God is late. 12 And when the sun had gone down, a deep sleep fell
• 8:48
  upon Abram, and lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
• 8:57
  So this is so serious, friends, that God has put him into this
• 9:02
  trance, and he's seeing this horror that is going to happen
• 9:07
  upon his descendants. Be careful what you ask for,
• 9:11
  friends. 13 And he said to Abram, Know of a surety that
• 9:19
  your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and
• 9:23
  shall serve them, and they shall afflict them 400 years.
• 9:28
  So here Abram's seed is going to prosper and become a great
• 9:34
  nation, and then in a famine we're going to see it later.
• 9:37
  But in a famine there drove down to Egypt and into slavery for
• 9:41
  400 years. And that is what is referenced
• 9:45
  by God to Abram before he even had his own child, much less a
• 9:50
  nation. 14 And also that nation whom they shall serve I will
• 9:57
  judge, and afterward they shall come out with great substance.
• 10:01
  So you can see here that God prophetically tells Abram that
• 10:06
  his seed will become a great nation and be driven down into
• 10:10
  Egypt. But when they come out, they
• 10:12
  will have many wealth, much wealth, and many goods with
• 10:16
  them. 15 And you shall go to your father's in peace, and you
• 10:23
  shall be buried in a good old age.
• 10:26
  What an amazing thought. Abram has the promise that he
• 10:29
  will not die prematurely. 16 But in the 4th generation they shall
• 10:36
  come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not
• 10:40
  yet full. You could see how long-suffering
• 10:43
  God is, and he gives us plenty of space to repent and to turn
• 10:48
  towards him and to let go of all of our disgusting practices.
• 10:52
  But by and large, we self destruct and God saying that the
• 10:59
  Amorite's time to be judged has not yet come.
• 11:03
  And what you need to know is that inept leadership is the
• 11:08
  first sign of judgment upon a land.
• 11:11
  And it's given people the time and the space to repent, to turn
• 11:16
  it around into put godly leaders into positions, and to stop
• 11:23
  listening to false prophets and false teachers and actually get
• 11:27
  in tune with what the word of God says.
• 11:30
  And that is what we need desperately in this time, in
• 11:33
  this hour. 17 And it came to pass that when the sun went
• 11:39
  down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace and a burning
• 11:45
  lamp that passed between those pieces.
• 11:49
  This is the fire by day, in the pillar of cloud by night.
• 11:53
  This is the Shekinah glory of God coming and manifesting
• 11:58
  between the pieces of the animals, and he passes through
• 12:01
  them with fire and smoke. And God, when he could find no
• 12:10
  greater to swear by, he swore by himself, and he actually went
• 12:17
  through it by himself. And he did not even ask Abram to
• 12:20
  pass through it or to make any kind of agreement, because he
• 12:25
  knew that sinful man could never live up to their end of the
• 12:29
  bargain. So He sent Jesus Christ, His
• 12:33
  only begotten, to save us from ourselves, save us from a sin
• 12:39
  debt that was piled so high that we could never pay back.
• 12:43
  And this is the good news and the grace of the Lord Jesus
• 12:47
  Christ upon us. And there is nothing that we
• 12:50
  could do to earn it. And it was everything that He
• 12:52
  did for us on that cross. And you can see it here.
• 12:57
  It is modeled by God Almighty El Elyon, passing through this
• 13:05
  title deed, passing through this covenant.
• 13:08
  He cut the covenant and he swore by his own self that he will
• 13:14
  make good on his end of the bargain, and didn't even ask
• 13:17
  Abram to pass through. 18 In the same day the Lord made a
• 13:24
  covenant with Abram, saying, unto your seed, I have given
• 13:27
  this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the
• 13:32
  river Euphrates. So here you can see that this is
• 13:36
  still in effect today. Friends, this is the title deed,
• 13:41
  this is the will, this is the land markers and the boundaries
• 13:47
  for the nation Israel. And what a sad state that we are
• 13:54
  in whenever we believe that this is not their rightful land that
• 14:02
  God has given to him. And God will make sure that they
• 14:07
  are able to live in the land that he allotted to them.
• 14:11
  And the satanic revolt and the satanic practices of trying to
• 14:16
  believe that God is not real and that the Jews are second rate or
• 14:22
  that they don't deserve to be in that land or to actually inhabit
• 14:27
  it. That is so incredibly wrong from
• 14:33
  a biblical sense. In a biblical point of view.
• 14:37
  You can see the boundaries here, friends, that rightfully belong
• 14:41
  to them. And we're not the ones who came
• 14:44
  up with it. It was God Almighty and he is
• 14:46
  the one that you'll have to take it up with if you have an issue.
• 14:50
  And you can still see today miracles breaking out in the
• 14:55
  mighty name of Jesus Christ, miracles breaking out.
• 14:59
  And you can see the preservation of that ethnic group, the Jews,
• 15:05
  God's chosen people. What an amazing thought,
• 15:07
  friends. 19 The Kenites and the Kennesites and the Cadmanites
• 15:13
  and the Hittites and the Parasites and the Raphaeans will
• 15:16
  end on 21 and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the
• 15:20
  Girgashites and the Jebusites. So you can see here that God is
• 15:26
  going to move out all of these nations to make room for the
• 15:31
  nation Israel. And during Solomon's time and
• 15:37
  shortly after, these landmarkers and boundaries were in effect.
• 15:43
  And what a sad state we're in today, friends, whenever we have
• 15:48
  mainstream politics and we have mainstream media that do not
• 15:54
  understand what is biblically accurate and what does the word
• 15:59
  of God tell us about the boundaries for the nation
• 16:03
  Israel. And that's why we're in such a
• 16:06
  mess today is because we're fighting against a holy God who
• 16:12
  will make good on this covenant with Abram and with his
• 16:16
  descendants. And that is a period.
• 16:18
  And that is a fact. There's nothing that we can do
• 16:24
  to argue against it. You will be fighting against a
• 16:27
  holy and righteous and powerful God.
• 16:30
  And that is no place that any human being or any nation or any
• 16:34
  government or any people group on planet earth ever wants to be
• 16:39
  in. I sure hope you've been blessed
• 16:42
  by this amazing chapter in God's Word.
• 16:45
  I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
• 16:47
  of you. I love you.
• 16:50
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 16:51
  God bless you.
