[The following are notes from one of Dani Johnson's christian training calls. I can't find the permalink to the audio. The call is dated 01-02-06.]
- you MUST humbly come before his throne
- rise in OBEDIENCE & do it
Genesis 12 (story of Abram/Abraham):
- Told to leave house and go to unseen land, foreigner (they were accustomed to worshipping multiple gods and had not heard from God in years) God planted the craving in him and then called him to that craving
- Drought comes (after following God) are you in a drought? death, finances, famine, relationships
- God will destroy EVERYTHING until you turn to him (idolatry) and then He will help you rebuild
–> Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son because of idolatry
1. Abraham understood the sovereignty of God
Isaiah 45:7
sovereign = nothing above, no one else before Him
He is the absolute head of all things, including darkness
- many are blaming the devil for things he hasn’t done. God can use the devil for disaster
His faith was not waivered on whether or not things were good or bad. His faith was not waivered on what he could see. His faith was waivered on the sovereignty of God.
Is your faith waivered?
(i.e.) struugles in life, new customers, how you feel
His promises are: he will prosper us, bless those that bless us, curse thos that curse us
- a lot of times he brings disaster to get our attention
-what will be rooted out and planted?
You have 2 choices:
1. get bitter
- or -
2. get better
disaster = to bring light out of dark places
2. Trust
Do you want your legacy to be alive many years from now?
Psalm 37:4
-all things work together for good for those who are in Christ
- He has your best interest in mind
- He put a craving in you
3. OBEY willingly
*Job 36:11
- look for blessing in it
4. Believe step out in faith
*Genesis 15:6
righteousness = believing God
being perfect is not righteousness
proof: parable of talents
Genesis 8:10, 14
5. Abraham PERSISTED
James 1:12
crown of life
crown = honor, signifies loyalty
life = production, growing
Proverbs 14:24
