Good morning brother,   Topic: God's promises are bigger than our circumstances Gen. 16:2-6, Romans 4 Question: The cultural practice of using a maidservant to bear children reflects societal norms that can conflict with divine promises. Christians are called to discern and prioritize God's will over cultural expectations. How does the cultural context of Sarai's decision to give Hagar to Abram challenge us to consider the influence of societal norms on our faith decisions? Summary: In the biblical narrative, the tension between cultural pressures and divine promises is a recurring theme that highlights the challenges faced by believers in maintaining their faith and obedience to God amidst societal influences. This dynamic is evident throughout Scripture, where individuals and communities are often confronted with the choice between conforming to the prevailing cultural norms or adhering to the promises and commands of God. 05:12:45 From victor perez vip3 to Everyone: GOOD MORNING ETERNAL BROTHERS CHOSEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH Dennis Thicklin, Juan Wyatte, Manny Ramos:❤️ 05:13:22 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai said. So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress. Then Sarai said to Abram, “You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.” “Your slave is in your hands,” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭16‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭ 05:14:26 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭ 05:14:54 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: ““Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them.” Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness. Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭12‬ ‭ 05:15:29 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression. Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭ 05:15:55 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭25‬ ‭ 05:16:56 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: http://spot.fund/2s884lsc Zoom Battle Prayer Monthly Fund: Dennis Thicklin:❤️ Dennis Thicklin:🙏🏿 05:16:56 From Dennis Thicklin to Everyone: Good Morning My Anointed and Bold Brothers!!!  Our Good GOD , who is BIGGER, BETTER and MIGHTIER Than ANYTHING has Done it Once Again ( Woke Us Up Once More )!!! ❤️📖🙏🏿 Juan Wyatte, Dennis Thicklin:❤️ 05:23:23 From Harry to Patrick (direct message): Good morning brother,   Topic: God's promises are bigger than our circumstances Gen. 16:2-6, Romans 4 Question: The cultural practice of using a maidservant to bear children reflects societal norms that can conflict with divine promises.

Juan Wyatte, Dennis Thicklin:❤️ 05:34:44 From JC to Everyone: I’ll see him today and let him know. 😊👍🏽 Dennis Thicklin:❤️ 05:37:41 From Patrick to Everyone: Sometimes our impatience and lack of trust is the author of the strife we find in our house. GET RID OF THE SLAVE WOMAN. Dennis Thicklin:❤️ 05:48:12 From victor perez vip3 to Everyone: A REAL CHRISTIAN MAN TAKES WHAT HIS WIFE SAYS AND THINKS ABOUT IT, KNOWING SHE HAS GODLY INSIGHT OR INTUITION MAYBE. BUT HE KNOWS GOD WILL ASK THE MAN ABOUT EVERY DECISION, GENESIS 3 ADAM WHERE ARE YOU

Good morning brother. Beautiful time in His Presence as always.MerryChristmas brother. 05:06:14 From Harry to Everyone: Good morning brother, Topic: If You Love Me. Do you love God? John 14:15-30, Mark 10:17-27, Matt. 7:21-23 Summary: Christ reassures His followers that faith in Him is faith in God. To know Christ is to know ''the way, and the truth, and the life'' (John 14:6). The words, actions, and miracles of Jesus should give Christians confidence to trust that He will make good on His promises. Among those are His guarantee that He is preparing to come for us, so we can be where He is. Jesus also predicts the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This is only available to believers, and this Helper acts to guide, teach, and remind us. Both for the disciples, and for future Christians, these words are meant to be comforting during hard times. Since Christ knew, in advance, what would happen, we can be even more confident to trust Him. 05:09:13 From Dennis Thicklin to Everyone: Good Morning Mighty Men of GOD ALMIGHTY!!! ❤️📖🙏🏿🙌🏿🔥👑🩸 Dennis Thicklin, Juan Wyatte:❤️ 05:11:01 From Harry to Patrick (direct message): Good morning brother, Topic: If You Love Me.

It’s CHRISTMAS 🎄 EVE!!! 😳 Juan Wyatte, Dennis Thicklin:😂 05:16:47 From iPhone to Everyone: Good morning brothers Juan Wyatte, Harry:❤️ 05:18:37 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: http://spot.fund/2s884lsc Zoom Battle Prayer Monthly Fund: 05:20:58 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: ““If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭21‬ ‭ 05:23:00 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭22‬-‭26‬ ‭ 05:23:22 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me,” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬-‭30‬ ‭ 05:24:31 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’” “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭ 05:24:56 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭22‬-‭27‬ ‭ 05:25:54 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: ““Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭ 05:30:57 From Manny Ramos to Everyone: Keeping the commandments of Jesus does speak to our personal morality, yet His emphasis was on love for others and faith in Him as demonstrations of obedience to His commandments. 05:44:14 From Harry to David Fry (direct message): Good morning brother, Topic: If You Love Me.

Topic: Habakkuk – Wrestling with God’s Timing: Hab. 1:1-4, 12-17. Eccles. 3:1 Summary: In the face of injustice and violence, Habakkuk expressed his anger towards God, questioning why He allowed such acts to persist. Habakkuk’s dialogue with God ultimately led to a deeper understanding of God’s sovereignty and the assurance that justice would prevail in due time. Dennis Thicklin, Juan Wyatte, Manny Ramos:❤️ Dennis Thicklin, Juan Wyatte, Manny Ramos:👑 Dennis Thicklin, Juan Wyatte, Manny Ramos:🙏🏾 05:11:03 From Dennis Thicklin to Everyone: Good Morning ☀️ Zoom Battle PRAYER Brothers!!! 🙌🏿❤️🔥🦅📖👑 Juan Wyatte:❤️ 05:11:52 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received. How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.” ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭ 05:12:29 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “Lord, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, Lord, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish. Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? You have made people like the fish in the sea, like the sea creatures that have no ruler. The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks, he catches them in his net, he gathers them up in his dragnet; and so he rejoices and is glad. Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, for by his net he lives in luxury and enjoys the choicest food. Is he to keep on emptying his net, destroying nations without mercy?” ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭ 05:13:13 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭ 05:13:44 From Harry to Elvin Ramos (direct message): Good morning brother, Topic: Habakkuk – Wrestling with God’s Timing: Hab. 1:1-4, 12-17.

There is an initial interaction called a tie or a collar tie. It is the first interaction to kind of gauge the opponents strengths and look for a hold. Our "why" may be the thing the causes us to engage why God . I bless God (or should bless God) for the ugly things that have happened to me because if I am going to get tangled up with someone I d rather it be him. 05:39:18 From Dennis Thicklin to Everyone: Be BETTER, Not Bitter!!! ❤️💪🏾📖 Juan Wyatte, Dennis Thicklin:❤️ Dennis Thicklin:📖 Quick recap The group discussed the importance of faith, trust in God's timing, and the concept of seasons in life, using the example of the prophet Habakkuk from the Old Testament.
