FERTILE HEROES OF FAITH
ABRAHAM AND GOD
Holy Spirit showed me a great parallel between Abraham's and our personal meeting with the Father. God became human just to visit Abraham and bring him good news. 😯Gen 18,1. "The Lord appeared to Abraham …while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day." Gen 18, 10. YLT "returning I return unto thee, about the time of life, and lo, to Sarah thy wife a son." About the time of life= in 9 months!!!
They ate together, spoke like friends, exchanged ideas almost like equals. God was interested in Abraham's thoughts, requests. God loved how Abraham referred to grace when he was interceding for the people in Sodom and Gomorrah. And when God came as a person to Abraham, not in a vision, his breakthrough came too and Sarah fell pregnant. 😮
HEAVEN IS ACCECCIBLE
God came as a human in the form of Jesus to us too – and says the same truth to us! Now is the time of redemption and His help and healing! I pray we dare to believe it! 2 Cor 6, 2.
Jesus is the same today as when He came with mighty miracles and healings and we are surrounded by testimonies, revelations full of power.
But what does it mean - that God became a man? It means that we don't need to strengthen our faith and reach up to heaven. Jesus brought heaven down, close, right into our hearts and bodies, He has already fulfilled His promises to us. He is our YES and AMEN. 2 Cor 1, 20.
YOU ARE GOD'S TREASURE!
It is no coincidence that God chose Abraham's "child blessing" as an example to teach us! This event is similar to an even greater and even more important blessing- the redemption through Jesus- who also came as a "baby blessing"! How sweet is the desire of our hearts to Him! And we get more than "just" getting our heart's desire! We received a calling! He sent us as His ambassadors to bring heaven and Jesus close to people. So that our life, our babies can be touched by people. This way healing can flow. 🌊Hallelujah.🙌 I
BLESSING
I bless you to know His kingdom is in you, His yes is accessible and as real as Abraham's blessing. Get hold of Jesus' love and presence now!
Abraham& Sarah-part 2
Let us
continue to study this story- bearing in mind that we have a better covenant than
Abraham- thanks to Jesus!
VICTORY IN WARFARE
Gen 14. 14. Abraham beat the armies of the kings who had taken away his relative, Lot. By that time he had a strong army. Similarly to Abraham, the spiritual weapons of our warfare are wonderfully strong to silence the beaten enemy. We are constantly in touch with our Heavenly Father through Holy Spirit, who is strengthening us with the bath of regeneration, life-giving power. When we speak the Word in faith, the Word penetrates all obstacles and tears down all hindrances like a hammer can tear down a wall. We can speak life! We are the redeemed, we have sozo (overall redemption), protection is included. Nothing can harm us, our bodies, our babies. Luke 10, 19. Whenever we exercise our authority, people can witness how blessed we are and we are strengthened by the Lord, we are learning to trust Him, who has given us all power to see victory on earth in our life.
PASTORAL BLESSING
Gen 14, 19. Abraham got blessed by Melkhisedech, a holy priest. By grace we also get the chance to get prayers, encouragements, counsel from those who have already experienced victory, baby blessings. Thank God we have each other. I often hear healing ministers talking about how many times they got prayed for, were taught by people who were more mature in faith- and how it boosted their ministry and how much more results they saw. It is not a requirement, as we have our high priest in Jesus, who is enough for all, but it can help much.
THE COVENANT
Gen 15. In this chapter we can see how Abraham finally poured out all his sorrow to God. He had been missing to see his child… at this moment they made their covenant, agreement. Likewise our covenant, agreement is in Jesus, we have the birth right, the inheritance of children, our bodies, the perfection of our reproductive system was purchased, granted, we gained perfect protection and strenght to conceive and give birth to healthy children, we are righteous and whole.
NEW NAME!
Gen 17. Abraham and Sarah were called the father and mother of nations! We are called joyous mothers/fathers of many children. Children of God. Priests and Kings. Chosen. Favoured. United with Jesus! When we are meditating on our new identity, we are resting in Jesus, Holy Spirit is blessings our wombs! In this chapter Abraham was circumcised. It sounds like God was telling him: I can make a miracle in the most intimate part of your body, too! Holy Spirit, you have done wonderful mriacles in our wombs, ovaries, hormones, eggs and the sperm! Our bodies are FREE of all oppression! Sin, waiting, imperfection and disease got cut off from us.
IN 9 MONTHS….
Gen 18. This is one of the highest point in God and Abraham and Sarah's RELATIONSHIP! God/ God's angels visited this elderly couple. Even if Sarah laughed, they were told God's plan for this pregnancy in detail- to avoid any misunderstanding. By grace Sarah was told to conceive in 9 months.
YOUTHFUL
Gen 20. Sarah must have been a beauty at 90, by grace she got divine strength to be beautiful, as she was desired by a king! Abraham had to put aside his own needs and pray for this king's people to become fertile again, as God had punished them for kidnapping Sarah. Abraham's heart was good, caring, pure, as he could pray for other people's baby blessing and finally he could see the manifestation of his own son.
