God appeared to Abraham and called him out of his land and out of his house to a land that He would give to him and to his seed after him. If we read the record in the book of Genesis, we see that Abraham sojourned in the land of Canaan, having God’s appearing and […]
God’s Appearing Issues in our Consecration: our Life is for God and God is our Life
Abraham was a man just like us, not necessarily seeking God or being for God, until God appeared to him. When God appeared to Abraham, something changed in him: he left his homeland and his family, and he followed God’s instructions to go into the land of Canaan living a life of the altar and […]
