The God Of Abraham Isaac And Jacob

The Christian life is based upon the irrevocable promises of God, the enjoyment of all that God has prepared for us in Christ, and the transformation that results from the loving discipline of the Spirit. In The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Watchman Nee draws upon the experiences of the Old Testament patriarchs and presents their lives as an allegory of the complete Christian experience. From our response to God's promises by faith to our ultimate transformation into sons who are conformed to the image of Christ, we must pass through the same life experiences of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like Abraham, we have been given the promise of God for the inheritance; like Isaac, we can enjoy all that God has planned for us in Christ His Son; and like Jacob, we must experience the discipline of the Holy Spirit for the sake of our growth and transformation.

God’s covenant promises do not fail. This book is written to help you achieve all God’s promises for your life. It is a careful and elaborate study, with personal testimonies, on the ability and willingness of God to perform all his words towards us. He said that He watches over His words to bring them to pass. Here, we will critically look at the dynamics of a divine promise; how it is established, maintained and nurtured to fruition. Every covenant promise has its beginning, timing and conditions. We must always know this to be able to perfectly and comfortably key into God’s will for our life. Indeed, all things are possible with God!

What does God require? A humble heart, a willing spirit, and a life that He can control. God called Abraham to be His chosen vessel. And from him came Isaac and Jacob, and Jacob became Israel, from whom the Messiah was born. Through the obedience of one man, God accomplished what He wanted. He loved His creation too much to let them be, so he came down and rescued his chosen ones from their own self destruction. God Almighty called Abraham when he was a pagan, deeply involved with the cult of his father’s era. He desperately wanted to get out, but that was his culture and attempting to escape would have left Abraham with nothing. His father owned everything and was in control of Abraham’s life. And if he left, where would he have gone? How about you? Are you trying to escape from the One that can give you what world can’t give you? The Bible is my inspiration. I took a journey with my Savior and He has guided me to write this book to let others know how much He loves us. God is serious about saving souls, for it is said in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life.”

Callaway brings his unique pen and personality to a stimulating re-examination of 'the stars' of the book of Genesis. He is uninhibited and downright irreverent in unmasking the likes of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel. His purpose is to make the critically important point that even the most heralded humans have been anything but perfect-far from it. Yet the irony is that God not only shows grace but actually chooses to make use of "losers." Callaway exhibits unusual range in telling the story with skills that reflect his academic and pastoral expertise, along with a rich abundance of humour. The result: a thought-provoking, entertaining, and uplifting treatise that warrants a wide and varied audience.Reginald W.

Born and raised in a small town, author Zarah Everly grew up in poverty and was regularly exposed to sexual abuse and harmful addictions at a young age. As she learned about God, she prayed to Him in the hope of leaving the tough situation. In The Faithful God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, she shares her life journey, speaking of her evolution as a Christian woman, broken, fallen, and in desperate need of saving. In this memoir, she talks about her intimate walk with God as a sinful, yet justified, individual. Everly chronicles the realities she faced and how she had become an adulterer, fornicator, liar, thief, murderer, coveter, and idolater who was hateful, envious, gossipy, proud, disobedient, unmerciful, and unthankful. And, she describes how by God’s grace she was delivered, healed, sanctified, perfected, and made complete. She became a holy, blameless, and justified friend of God. The Faithful God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob narrates how God answered Everly’s prayers and tells of the warmth and comfort she received in times of desperation, hurt, and pain.

When we rewind history back to Abraham’s era, we encounter people who concocted false superstitions to explain the unexplainable. Powerful kings claimed to be gods, building massive pyramids to achieve immortality. Out of this mass of misunderstandings, one man emerged. The man we know today as Abraham not only claimed that one true Creator existed but also staked his entire life on this belief. Why, thousands of years later, are we still discussing the faith of this desert nomad? One of America’s most popular Bible teachers Pastor Chuck Swindoll answers that question and many more in this compelling and insightful biography that will inspire your own faith.
