More from Joanne Lamb this time on Genesis 17

Joanne Lamb

Hi Godbless.

So no matter how many times you read your Bible from beginning to end. When you start it again from the beginning, something new always stands out. So I've started from the Old Testament book, Genesis, that I've read before, and I didn’t notice until this time how God changed the names of Abram and Sarai, — to Abraham and Sarah. I thought their names were always— Abraham and Sarah. So that is another reason why we should continue reading our bibles, no matter how many times we have read it before, as we learn something new every time. Yes Amen 🙏. 

So I’m going to share Genesis 17:1-16 which says,

” (1)When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am Almighty God; walk before me, and be blameless. (2)And I will make my covenant between me and you and will multiply you exceedingly. (3)Then Abram fell on his face and God talked with him, saying: (4)As for me, behold, my covenant is with you and you shall be a father of many nations. (5)No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for i have made you a father of many nations. (6)I will make you exceedingly fruitful: and I will make nations of you and Kings shall come from you. (7)And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. (8)Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger all the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession and I will be their God. (9)And God said to Abraham as for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. (10)This is my covenant which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you. Every male child among you shall be circumcised. (11)And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. (12)He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant. (13)He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. (14)And the uncircumcised male child who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant. (15)Then God said to Abraham, as for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai but Sarah shall be her name. (16)And I will bless her and also give you a son by her, then I will bless her and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her." 

Yes Amen 🙏 . So anyway the Lord told Abram, I am Almighty God: walk before me, and be blameless. 

And God has the same message for us today. We are to obey the Lord in every respect because he is God, the Lord Almighty. God is the only one with power and God does meet all our needs, so we should want to be obedient to our good Father God who loves us unconditionally, God is so worthy. So anyway God revealed to Abram several specific parts of his covenant.— God would give Abram many descendants.— And many nations would descend from him.— God would maintain his covenant with Abram’s descendants.— And God would give Abram’s descendants the land of Canaan. So anyway God changed Abram to Abraham, (Father of many). Shortly before the promised son was conceived. So from this point on the bible calls him Abraham. 

So anyway God required circumcision, as a sign of obedience to him in all matters and as a sign of belonging to his covenant people. Once circumcised there was no turning back, the man would be identified as a Jew forever. As a symbol of” cutting off” the old life of sin, purifying one’s heart, and dedicating oneself to God. Circumcision, more than any other practice, separated God’s people from their heathen neighbors. In Abraham’s day, this was essential to develop the pure worship of the one true God. 

Yes, Amen 🙏 Glory And Honor to our God Almighty in Jesus Christ's precious mighty name. 

Yes Hallelujah. Thankyou love always Joanne lamb xxx

A plea for help

 I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people. Praise the Lord, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel! For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.

Psalms 22:22‭-‬24 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.22.22-24.NLT

I will answer says the lord almighty 

My face is always toward you 

With open hand I shall come to you

For I am the God of all creation

My Spirit lives within the you, says the Lord

I have heard your pleas for help

They have come before me like a sweet smelling aroma

Taste and see says the Lord Almighty

Not one of your bones shall be broken

O Lord my God you are more than I have asked for

Let your peace reign within my soul

You are my beloved children says the Lord

I shall answer says the Lord 

My angels shall come to you 

They shall bring keys to doors locked long ago 

Ceilings shall be lifted and you shall soar to the heights 

Amen

Beginnings and Gods Spirit,text kindly taken from Joanne lamb

 Hi Godbless. So I’m back to reading from the Old Testament, which is Genesis first book in the bible.-

Learning about our ancestors can help us understand ourselves,'Adam and Eve’ our first ancestors were the highlight of God's creation— the very reason God made the world. But they didn’t always live the way God intended. 

And through their mistakes, we can learn important lessons on how to live rightly, as Adam and Eve teach us much about the nature of sin and its consequences. Yes Amen 🙏. 

I’m going to share Genesis 2:4-7 that says” —.       

(4)This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. (5)Before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth and there was no man to till the ground. (6)But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. (7)And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being. 

Yes, Hallelujah, Amen 🙏. 

So anyway— "of the dust of the ground” implies that there is nothing fancy about the chemical elements making up our bodies. The body is a lifeless shell until God brings it alive with His "breath of life". And when God removes his life-giving breath, then our bodies once again returns to dust. 

Therefore our life and worth come from God’s Spirit. So in reality our worth comes not from our achievements but from God of the universe, who chooses to give us the mysterious and miraculous gift of life, so we should value life’ as God does. There is no other like our good amazing God. Hosanna in the highest, yes Amen 🙏. 

Glory to God in Jesus Christ's precious powerful name, yes Hallelujah.

 Thank you love always Joanne lamb xxx

He rescues his children

The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken! Calamity will surely destroy the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be punished. But the Lord will redeem those who serve him. No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

Psalms 34:19‭-‬22 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.34.19-22.NLT

I shall deliver you says the lord almighty

Those who trust in me shall be redeemed

My child trust me use your authority and activate my power for I shall honor my promises 

Not so the wicked I will cut them off 

They shall be cursed 

Nothing they plan will come to pass 

For I shall frustrate their council

But the righteous will prosper

In my name I shall cause them to be a blessing to the my people 

They will flourish in the desert and find peace amid turmoil 

For my peace shall rule in their soul

Amen

Everything you need

Be amazed at my outpouring in these days

I am eager to show my delight in you

My love is poured out for you 

I am amazed at your faithfulness oh lord

Amen.

See have I declared you free from accusations and judgements

Ask me for bread will I not give freely with open heart

Ask me for help will I not send my angels to attend you

Ask me and  I shall give freely because you are my beloved child 

Amen

For I am generous and delight to show you my favour 

I will show you my power in these days

Kinsman redeemer

 May the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.”

Ruth 2:12 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/rut.2.12.NLT

Ruth went with her mother in law after her husband died

She changed her culture and became a foreigner in a strange land 

The land of israel became her home

You as gentiles have been grafted into the house of Israel.

You are that foreigner but you have also been adopted into the Israel

You have the same birthright as blood-born children

Yet many of you still live under a percieved seperation

Yet Jesus came to create one new man out of Jews and Gentiles

This new man is more powerful than either on their own

Take your place in the family of God

You are more powerful that either Jew or Gentile for you are new creation

Amen

Amen

The guilty

 The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet. The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him. But he will sweep away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue his foes into the darkness of night.

Nahum 1:3‭, ‬7‭-‬8 NLT

My power runs through your veins like blood 

Have you not read that blood is life

Power and blood go together

There is no power or authority without sacrifice and blood

Let us yield to his reign for his name is above every other name

Romans 11:36 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/rom.11.36.NLT

Who has given God so much that he owes it back? 

Does God owe anyone anything?

By no means

For He is the creator of everything

Everything exists for His glory

Indeed it is He that geñerously gives us out of his riches simply because He loves us

His wisdom and knowledge surpass any wisdom we possess indeed our greatest wise men are fools compared to Him

He delights to give to us for He is rich in mercy

Ask him to pour out His riches into your life 

You will not be dissappointed 

For you are His beloved children

Amen

Life abundant

 My dear children I came to bring you life and abundance

Come into my presence 

Death is vanquished and life is full of vibrance 

Still your soul and come into my presence

And find life in all its fullness

I create from nothing and make it something

I shall take the weak the ones the world despises and make them into great children of God 

Remember how far you yourself have come 

Look at yourself and see what I have made 

You have every reason to be confident

The work begun in you shall be finished

Nothing I work on goes to waste 

I tell you your journey has not finished yet

I make crooked roads straight and rough roads smooth 

I make high mountains  like level ground

I turn the desert into fertile land 

I calm stormy seas 

I tell you speak

to your desert 

to your mountain 

to your stormy sea

And watch how I respond

Amen

Victory is yours

 Every time the commanders of the Philistines attacked, David was more successful against them than all the rest of Saul’s officers. So David’s name became very famous.

1 Samuel 18:30 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/1sa.18.30.NLT

Just like David I am with you 

When your enemies attack you 

You shall defeat them 

Boldness shall carry you to victory

Endurance shall be your possession

Go forth and take the land I am giving you for you and your children and all that follow.

The land is good and rich in nutrients 

Whatever you plant there shall reap a harvest of such size that your barns will overflow

This is what I declare before God

You shall reap where others have sown

You shall gain the riches of the wicked for it is stored up for the righteous

You plant and reap 

You shall be given a harvest full and overflowing with goodness

Take action and watch me respond

Plant and sow and reap the harvest I have planned for you 

You are my beloved child and I have nothing but good planned for you.

You shall use the sword and the sheild I have given you

Train yourself to weild them in battle

Amen

A new Season

No longer shall closed doors barr your way 

Lost opportunity will be restored to you 

Heaven has always been open to you

open skies will come the clouds will part and the sun will shine upon you.

Examine your heart 

See have i not declared you free from accusations and judgements

Ask me for bread will I not give freely with open heart

Ask me for help will I not send my angels to attend you

Ask me and  I shall give freely because you are my beloved child 

Amen
