We are walking in today:  Five Smooth Stones, Genesis--Why Abraham?

Witnessing the commandments throughout the Bible: Exodus 24:12, Leviticus 4:2, Deuteronomy 7:9, Psalm 103:20, 111:10, Isaiah 48:18, Amos 2:4, Matthew 5:19, 19:17


Have you ever wondered why Elohim picked Abraham?  We have in scripture that the Savior will crush the enemies head, would come through the seed of the woman.  Abraham was chosen because Adonai knew that his children would keep His word.  That he would be who Yahweh would establish His people through, leading up to coming of the Messiah.  The Abrahamic covenant is of faith and salvation.  Hebrews are those that have crossed over.  Abraham was not born a Hebrew but in obedience to Yahweh, crossed over and became a Hebrew.  This covenant was ratified in blood and the sign of this covenant is circumcision.  We have to understand that covenant with Adonai is not a contract, but a promise!  Salvation is a gift by faith in Yeshua as our Lord and Savior.  When we confessed (agreed) that Yeshua is Lord--we are given His faithfulness! Fiveamprayer, you know that we didn't make right choices on our own!  Yet you were chosen by Elohim.  We have been given grace for the wrong that we have done unknowingly, not as a free pass to sin intentionally!  We are to obey--hear in order to do!  We are taught by our Messiah, Jesus Christ that we are to take on His yolk.  In Hebraic understanding the yolk means proper training or partnership.  Which is described as easy and light.  Won't you take on God's teaching and instruction?!  You will find it easy and light!  Abraham had to leave what he grew up in to cross over in obedience to what Yahweh directed him to do.  Come up out of those man made traditions, those erroneous practices of old.  If there is any question, the word of the Lord settles it!  Dig into the word of God and mine for truth, His understanding and apply it to your life!  No more doing things because everyone else has.  Like the old saying if all your friends jumped off the cliff would you also?  We have to stop and seek Adonai.  Stop and ask Holy Spirit to lead and guide you and then be obedient!  That is how we get out of this mess and confusion!
There are four alters that Abraham built, they were firstly for worship.  They were also a place of testimony and communion between Elohim and man.  The four are obedience, pilgrim walk, separation and sacrifice.  Abraham was chosen by God because of His character.  Fiveamprayer we gotta check our character--listen to hear, hear to obey!  To hear this again click here.
