I will make you a great nation
Gadol Goy
Genesis 12:1-2
Now the LORD had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
Fiery hands of God
Our God has it all
He gave all the secret of success to us
He is the One who gives us the power to get wealth
God created us super power human being in Christ
Be strong in the Lord
In the power of His might
God was going to make Moses strong by God’s supernatural power
Deuteronomy 10:17-22
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name. He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen. Your fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.
Jews remember their heritage
Eternal God
Eternal things are what matters
This whole life will end in glory
You are a spirit eternal being
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
God set eternal. Divine purpose and plan
We are conscious
Our lives is connected with Jesus Christ
We need the holy spirit to answer our questions of who God is
We value the things that are eternal
The spirit was to connect with God
Soul - social
Body - enjoy the fruits and blessings
God never meant to create an earth and make people suffer
Things in the earth, somebody “created”
Today we are “possessed” by the Spirit to enjoy
God wants us to enjoy spirit soul and body
Sometimes we cannot see how big our God is. God calls things that are not as though they are
We are healed by His stripe
Exercise the faith
God’s Word is hidden from people who are not His

The Promise of the Holy Spirit
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
