You Work On Doubt by Walking it Out - Audio

Have you ever watched Judge Judy or any of the other Judge shows? Back in the day, it started as The People’s Court. People would have an issue that needed settling and would agree to come before the judge to get it settled. Often, the judge would ask if they had an agreement and if the agreement was in writing. If they did not have an agreement in writing, often the cases would be dismissed or at least not as strong. This is the second part to a two part revelation about Abram and his belief in God. Abram had some issues he needed settled. He was told by God that his offspring would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. But Abram did not have a son to begin this long lineage, but he believed in God for a son. God further promised Abram he would inherit the land to raise his people. Abram asked God about it and God made an agreement with Abram. But each promise by God needed a step from Abram. Abram had doubt and he work on doubt by walking it out. Step by step with God. God made a covenant, a promise or as it was known, a contract. That contract or covenant was ratified by God with Abram. And what a contract it was. Most of us have probably never slaughtered and animal, much less walked between pieces of the animals that have been slaughtered. That was the custom at the time to ratify a blood covenant or to cut a covenant. The two parties would walk between the cut pieces in the blood and if either one was not faithful in the covenant, what happened to the animals could happen to the offending party. Abram had to work on his doubt by walking or taking steps of faith, but Abram did not have to walk through the pieces of the animals to secure the covenant. God did. God did it for him. You work out doubt by walking it out…..God did the walking this time. A fire pot and torch sealed the covenant by God. We have that covenant for us through Jesus. It is important because the covenant we have with Jesus takes away the penalty for sin in our lives. This message will help you und
