Some of you are just in camp, getting down to your fighting weight. Be not weary in your well-doing. On due season, you will reap. You don't give up. A couple things really practically. Every time I teach now, I take my notes, and I put them on my sub stack so that you can go back and you can listen to the message, the audio, you can watch the video, and you can go to the sub stack. I create that resource so we can stay connected. You can keep chewing on it, and they'll put a QR code up there. You can do that there. I want to pray for some people. Here's where I'm at.

… and God tells him he says Abraham he says because you wouldn't keep this from me even your only son watch this he says blessings I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you I am going to multiply your descendants he just it was incredible why what was it about Abraham he wasn't perfect Sarah talked about a few Sundays ago he wasn't perfect he made all kind of mistakes what was it about him he would not keep back anything from God he trusted him and when you trust God on that level there is nothing that he will withhold from you and Abraham if you get back to the end of his life study the end of Abraham's life Genesis 24 he was old and advanced in years and the Bible says and the Lord had blessed him in every way in all things why because there was nothing standing between him and what God wanted to do. So as it relates to hearing God for your life, and I know that you asked a layered question and I want to answer as much of it as possible, you tap in by, one, believing that you can, by, two, getting still enough to perceive God's voice from all the other voices, including your own, getting in that word. …
3. Those who are in a state of salvation are to attribute it to sovereign grace alone, and to give all the praise to him, who maketh them to differ from others. Godliness is no cause for glorying, except it be in God. 1 Cor. i. 29, 30, 31. “That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” Such are not, by any means, in any degree to attribute their godliness, their safe and happy state and condition, to any natural difference between them and other men, or to any strength or righteousness of their own. They have no reason to exalt themselves in the least degree; but God is the being whom they should exalt. They should exalt God the Father, who chose them in Christ, who set his love upon them, and gave them salvation, before they were born, and even before the world was. If they inquire, why God set his love on them, and chose them rather than others, if they think they can see any cause out of God, they are greatly mistaken. They should exalt God the Son, who bore their names on his heart, when he came into the world, and hung on the cross, and in whom alone they have righteousness and strength.. They should exalt God the Holy Ghost, who of sovereign grace has called them out of darkness into marvellous light; who has by his own immediate and free operation, led them into an understanding of the evil and danger of sin, and brought them off from their own righteousness, and opened their eyes to discover the glory of God, and the wonderful riches of God in Jesus Christ, and has sanctified them, and made them new creatures. When they hear of the wickedness of others, or look upon vicious persons, they should think how wicked they once were, and how much they provoked God, and how they deserved for ever to be left by him to perish in sin, and that it is only sovereign grace which has made the difference. 1 Cor. vi. 10. Many sorts of sinners are there enumerated; fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind. And then in the eleventh verse, the apostle tells them, ” Such were some of you; but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” The people of God have the greater cause of thankfulness, more reason to love God, who hath bestowed such great and unspeakable mercy upon them of his mere sovereign pleasure. …
