The Story of Abraham in the Bible

Introduction

Abraham is one of the most important people in the Bible. He is remembered as a man of faith, obedience, and trust in God. His story is found mainly in the book of Genesis, chapters 12–25.

Abraham was originally called Abram. God called him to leave his homeland and go to a land that God would show him. God promised to make him a great nation and to bless all the families of the earth through him.

God Calls Abraham

One day, God spoke to Abram and said:

«“Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.”»

God promised Abram that He would make him into a great nation, bless him, make his name great, and make him a blessing to others.

Abram obeyed God. He left his homeland with his wife, Sarai, and his nephew Lot, and they traveled toward the land of Canaan.

When Abram arrived in Canaan, God appeared to him and promised to give that land to his descendants.

Abraham and Lot

As Abram and Lot became wealthy, their servants began arguing because there was not enough land for all their animals.

Abram did not want conflict. He gave Lot the opportunity to choose where he wanted to live.

Lot chose the fertile area near Sodom, while Abram remained in the land of Canaan.

After Lot separated from him, God renewed His promise to Abram. God told him that his descendants would be as numerous as the dust of the earth.

God Promises a Son

Although Abram was growing older, he still had no child. He wondered how God's promise of a great nation could come true.

God told him that he would have a son of his own and that his descendants would be extremely numerous.

Abram believed God, and the Bible says that his faith was counted to him as righteousness.

God also changed his name from Abram to Abraham, meaning “father of a multitude,” and changed Sarai's name to Sarah.

The Birth of Isaac

Abraham and Sarah waited many years for the promised child.

When Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was very old, God fulfilled His promise. Sarah gave birth to a son, and they named him Isaac.

The birth of Isaac brought great joy to Abraham and Sarah because God had kept His promise despite the long years of waiting.

Abraham Is Tested

One of the greatest tests of Abraham's faith came when God commanded him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice.

Abraham obeyed and took Isaac to the place God had shown him. Isaac did not understand what was going to happen, but Abraham continued in faith.

Just as Abraham was about to sacrifice his son, an angel of the Lord stopped him.

God provided a ram caught in a thicket as a sacrifice instead.

Through this test, Abraham demonstrated his willingness to trust and obey God even when he did not understand God's plan.

God then reaffirmed His promise to bless Abraham and multiply his descendants.

Abraham's Later Years

Abraham continued to live as a man of faith. After Sarah died, he made arrangements for her burial.

Abraham later married Keturah and had more children, but Isaac remained the son through whom God's covenant promise would continue.

Abraham eventually died at the age of 175. His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him beside Sarah.

The Legacy of Abraham

Abraham's story is one of faith and obedience. He did not always understand what God was doing, but he continued to trust God's promises.

His life teaches us several important lessons:

1. Trust God even when you cannot see the whole plan.
2. Obey God when He calls you to something difficult.
3. Be patient while waiting for God's promises.
4. Faith sometimes requires sacrifice.
5. God is faithful to His promises.

Abraham became known as a great man of faith, and his story continues to inspire millions of people around the world.

The story of Abraham reminds us that when God makes a promise, we can trust Him—even when the answer takes longer than we expected.

SERMON TO LIVING ONES IN THIS LAST AGE: THE CHURCH BOUGHT BY BLOOD — THEREFORE BELONGS TO CHRIST — RED 7 VISION l SAW THREAT TO SATAN & HIS WORKS ..!

Text: Acts 20:28, Rev 12:11, 1 Pet 4:17

---

INTRO: THIS LAST AGE — LIVING ONES — HEAR

Heb 9:26 — But now, once at end of ages, He has appeared to put away sin by sacrifice of Himself.
Joel 2:28 — I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh in last days.
1 Pet 4:17 — For time has come for judgment to begin at house of God.

We are living ones in this last age — not dead — not dreaming dead folks — alive to hear.

I, witness Reagan — born again — true Israel — Believer not practising sin — l saw Red 7 vision in sky after it vanished.

Red = Blood — 1 John 1:7 — blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin.

Red 7 = Complete purification of house of God first.

1. CHURCH BOUGHT BY BLOOD — SO BELONGS TO CHRIST — NOT MAN

Living ones, hear truth in last age:

Acts 20:28 — Take heed... to shepherd church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
1 Cor 6:19-20 — You are not your own, for you were bought at a price.
1 Pet 1:18-19 — redeemed not with silver and gold... but with precious blood of Christ.
Eph 1:7 — In Him we have redemption through His blood.
Col 1:18 — He is head of body, the church.

Therefore — No pastor can say "this is MY church" — 1 Cor 3:11 — No other foundation can anyone lay than Jesus Christ.
Matt 16:18 — I will build MY church, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

In last age, many say my ministry, my church, my people — That is theft from Blood — Heb 10:29 — who has counted blood of covenant a common thing.

Church belongs to Christ because Blood bought it — Ministry belongs to Christ — Your life belongs to Christ if you are born again.

I proved it: Accident — motorcycle l was carried on hitting dog — body wounded but not given to death — Ps 118:18 — Job 2:6 — my life spared — Why? Because bought — hedge bleached l had prayed,& believed that l received it for testing my faith 1 Pet 1:7 but not removed — preserved because Christ owns.

2. RED 7 VISION WAS THREAT & DESTRUCTION TO SATAN & WORKS OF SATAN

Red 7 was not threat to satan— and was threat to works of Satan.

1 John 3:8 — For this purpose Son of God manifested, that He might destroy works of devil.

What is destroyed by Blood of Jesus with it's finished work on the cross John 19:30 — It is finished?

Col 2:15 — Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in cross.


a) Voices heard when no one present — accuser — Rev 12:10 — accuser of brethren cast down — 2 Cor 10:5 — casting down imaginations — Blood silences.

b) Dreaming dead folks — covenant with dead — Isa 8:19 — Should not a people seek their God? Should they seek dead on behalf of living? — Deut 18:11-12 — Blood breaks — Heb 9:14.

c) Dreaming snakes — serpent — Luke 10:19 — I give you authority to trample on serpents — Blood crushes — Rom 16:20.

d) Attacking ministry / Pastors saying my church — Rev 12:17 — dragon enraged, went to make war with those who keep commandments and have testimony of Jesus — Blood reclaims ministry for Christ.

Blood destroys Satan + Blood destroys works — Because Rev 12:11 — They overcame him by blood of Lamb and by word of their testimony.

That is key for last age living ones.

3. WHY EVIL ALTAR ROSE BEFORE ACCIDENT — Eph 6:12

Evil altar attacking me before accident — voices — Eph 6:12 — we wrestle not against flesh and blood — I fought with Word Eph 6:17.

Why? Because my calling fought Satan & works of Satan— Acts 26:18 — to turn them from darkness to light, and from power of Satan to God., 1john3:8.

Aim: persecute me to fail my calling before God — abort Green 7 Vision, -- abort Red 7 Vision— abort skeleton Vision & abort 144,000 dream— Rev 14:4-5 — not defiled... without fault. Of a servant a witness of Jesus appointed by Jesus to testify to what I have seen him in visions l saw after they vanished.
But accident was testing of my faith -- & faith wasn't failed -- Gold came out pure-- job23:10 -- l shall come forth as gold -- Zech13:9.

Now new order/ speaking of SON . Heb1:1-2, through Green 7 vision -- aims doing matt6:33 -- much more be added on you as living ones in this last age -- look at being undefiled sealed. Rev14:1-5. Repent obey& live son says through visions l saw Or will face his judgement of end times & perish. Rev9, rev16, if fail to repent.

THE EASTERN GATE — WHEN THE DOOR OPENS

I have walked through Jerusalem many times during my archaeological journey, stood among its ancient stones, explored its history, and watched the city change beneath the light of the Judean sun.

Yet there is one place that still causes me to stop.

The Eastern Gate.

Standing across from that magnificent sealed gateway, I have often simply stared at it in awe.

The gate we see today is not the gate through which Solomon walked. Jerusalem is a city built layer upon layer, generation upon generation. Beneath our feet lie the remains of earlier Jerusalems—some excavated, others still hidden in the earth.

And the Eastern Gate has its own archaeological mystery.

In 1969, James Fleming was examining the area outside the present Golden Gate when the ground beneath him gave way. Below the modern ground level, he observed and photographed an earlier arched structure associated with the gateway.

What exactly was it?

How old was it?

Could still earlier phases of Jerusalem's eastern entrance survive beneath it?

Those questions remain debated. Archaeology has not established that Fleming discovered Solomon's gate. Extensive excavation of this extraordinarily sensitive area has never been possible.

And perhaps that mystery is partly what makes standing there so remarkable.

What we see above the ground is only part of the story.

There are stones beneath the stones.

There are gates beneath the gate.

There is history beneath our feet.

But whenever I stand there, my thoughts eventually move beyond archaeology.

I look across the Kidron Valley toward the Mount of Olives. I look back toward that sealed entrance in Jerusalem's eastern wall.

And I imagine a day archaeology cannot excavate.

The coming of the Messiah.

Imagine standing there when Yeshua returns to earthly Jerusalem.

Imagine the sound of the shofar echoing across the valley.

Imagine the King approaching Jerusalem.

Imagine those ancient stones witnessing something greater than all the kings, armies, pilgrims and empires that have passed before them.

And then I remember something Yeshua once said:

“I am the door.”

— John 10:9

Suddenly, the image of a sealed gate takes on another meaning.

A stone gateway may be closed.

But God's Door is open.

Yeshua did not describe Himself merely as someone standing beside the entrance or someone pointing toward it.

He said:

“I am the door.”

The message is profoundly simple.

THE DOOR IS THE WAY

A door separates two places.

You stand on one side, but the door provides the entrance to the other.

Yeshua presents Himself as the entrance to salvation and life with God. Wealth cannot purchase that entrance. Archaeological knowledge cannot unlock it. Religious status cannot earn it.

The invitation is through Him.

THE DOOR IS PROTECTION

The imagery becomes even richer when we remember the shepherd.

In the ancient world, sheep could be gathered into an enclosure where the entrance provided controlled access and protection. Against that background, Yeshua speaks not only about a door but immediately afterward about Himself as the Good Shepherd.

The One who provides the entrance is also the One who cares for the sheep.

THE DOOR LEADS TO LIFE

Yeshua continues:

“He will come in and go out and find pasture.”

The Door does not lead into imprisonment.

It leads to life.

To fellowship.

To belonging.

To walking with the Shepherd.

And that is why the Eastern Gate continues to fascinate me.

As an archaeologist, I see ancient masonry, buried architectural phases, unanswered questions and thousands of years of Jerusalem's history.

As a believer, I see something else.

I see an illustration.

The world can build walls.

Men can close gates.

Empires can rise and disappear.

Stones can be buried beneath metres of earth.

But there is one Door no human being can seal.

Yeshua is that Door.

Perhaps one day I will no longer have to stand across the Kidron Valley imagining the King coming to Jerusalem.

Perhaps those ancient stones will witness the moment themselves.

Until then, the sealed Eastern Gate remains there—silent, ancient and mysterious.

And every time I look at it, I am reminded:

The gate may be shut.

But the Door is still open.

Yeshua said, “I am the door.”

Good morning everyone. today is God’s day. well let’s be honest, EVERYDAY is God’s day.
Ya know sometimes we forget that our purpose is serve God, not man. Matthew 22:37 says “And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
‭‭ How often do we forget that we are to love the lord with all our heart? how many times do we simply forget to say thank you?
In this day and age, it’s so easy to get caught up in the worries and stresses of the world. It simple to just live our daily lives as we are use to it. But if anything changes, we are knocked off gaurd. we have to readjust to allow the change to happen and to also adapt it into our lives. But during that process, we slip away from recognizing God and all he has given us. Without him, we wouldn’t have any of the things he has given us.
In conclusion, don’t let the things of this world, the constant changes in life, deter you from showing your love to God daily. Don’t let changes eliminate much needed time with God. he is our supplier, our provider, and our savior. Every moment you get, give him praise and continually trust him. he deserves so much more than we can give. Have a blessed day.

Amidst the challenges of your job search, take heart in Isaiah 40:30-31.

Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength and soar like eagles.

Daily Devotion — August 27 | Acts 21:33 (NKJV)

God Is in Control Even in Trials

Acts 21 records Paul's arrest in Jerusalem after an angry crowd falsely accused him. Before the situation became even more violent, the Roman commander intervened and had Paul bound with two chains. Although Paul appeared to be a prisoner, God was still carrying out His perfect plan. This arrest became the beginning of Paul's testimony before rulers, governors, and kings, just as the Lord had promised.

From a human perspective, Paul's circumstances seemed discouraging. Yet God was using this difficult moment to open doors for the gospel that would not have existed otherwise. What looked like defeat was actually part of God's greater purpose.

For believers today, this passage reminds us that God remains in control even when our lives take unexpected turns. Trials do not mean God has abandoned us. Often, He is preparing opportunities for His glory that we cannot yet see. We can trust Him because His plans are always good and His purposes never fail.

Reflection Questions

1. Do I trust God when life does not go as I expected?

2. How has God used difficult circumstances for good in my life?

3. How can I remain faithful during seasons of uncertainty?

Prayer

Lord God, thank You that You are always in control, even when my circumstances seem confusing. Help me to trust Your plan and remain faithful during every trial. Give me peace, knowing that You are working all things together for Your glory and my good. In Jesus name Amen.

Practical Application

● Trust God's purpose even during difficult circumstances.

● Pray for faith instead of giving in to fear.

● Look for opportunities to honor Christ in every situation.

Takeaway Thought

God is always working behind the scenes, even when we cannot see His plan
