FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER – WEEK SIX
ABRAHAM ARISING PART TWO
Greetings dear saints of God and welcome back to the Prophets Chamber. Please take a moment and share this Bible teaching as widely as possible to expand the reach of the Truth. On Monday (1st of March) as I sat with the Lord thinking about what He might give me for today, the following phrase rose up in my spirit. “An Abraham is arising; indeed, many Abraham’s are arising.” Perhaps like you just now, I said, Ok, what does this mean? Very quickly He brought a few things to mind. First was the slaughter of the kings in the rescue of Lot and He coupled this with David and the episode at Ziglag. In both cases all was recovered. A question that comes to mind is this; was it necessary that anything be lost? Short answer is “no” but over the course of a few weeks we will unravel this.
The next morning, the Lord reminded me that in the process of time Abraham brought forth Isaac (child of promise) by faith, faith in God. However, prior to that a tryst with Hagar (bondwoman) brought forth an Ishmael (child of the flesh), and again delayed the plan of God. The Seed, our Redeemer, came through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and so on down to Joseph and Mary. What happened on Mount Moriah in Genesis chapter twenty-two invoked the Law of Reciprocity and assured mankind the Messiah was on the way. Now, let’s break down these events and discover what the Lord is saying to us today.
After Abram and Lot returned to Canaan from Egypt strife arose between the employees of Abram and Lot. Abram told Lot we cannot have strife so they were to separate and Lot was to choose whatever land he desired.
Genesis 13:10 (KJV)
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
Was the Holy Spirit leading Lot, or his love for his uncle Abram? No, he was completely led of the flesh. What about you and me? Lot chooses what looked like the best land and choose to live among sinners. This is what the Church at large has chosen as well.
Genesis 13:13 (KJV)
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Then war came as it always does when our hearts are not completely His.
2 Chronicles 16:9 (KJV)
9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
Genesis 14:10-13 (KJV)
10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12 And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
Lot is taken captive in this war along with many others along with their goods, but Abram comes to the rescue. Lot represents the organized traditional Church and Abram represents the Rising Remnant. God in His mercy always has a remnant. Think about all the Judges of Israel, even think about Jesus and His disciples. Jesus and His disciples were a small group (remnant) compared to the traditional established Church of the day. That traditional established Church would meet and go through their traditions and rituals but nothing was changed, and people were taken deeper and deeper into bondage just like today. The people were taken not only deeper into bondage to the ways of the world but the control of the Church traditions. They were depending on the eye, their own understanding, the ways of the world, and not God, just like Lot. Please don’t look at this as some nice little teaching about Abram and Lot, this is about you and me today.
We are far from done, Lord willing, I will pick up right here next Saturday.
2 Chronicles 20:20b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Until our next publication, as your Bible Teacher and a Prophetic Voice in your life I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
