For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God]. 1 Corinthians 13:12 AMP
To A Young Man of God, Blessed be the name of Jesus Christ by whom we have eternal life  #BeBoldBelieveBig

Abram Journeys to the Negev then to Egypt Blessed but Deceptive

​
Genesis Chapter 12 

​Now [in Haran] the Lord had said to Abram,

“Go away from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house,
​

To the land which I will show you;

Promise One
2 And [a] I will make you a great nation,

Promise Two
And I will bless you [abundantly],

Promise Three
And make your name great (exalted, distinguished);

Promise Four
​And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others];

Promise Five
3 And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you,

Promise Six
And I will curse [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you.

Promise Seven

And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed.”

Abram at 75

4 So Abram departed [in faithful obedience] as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his nephew] left with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. 

5 Abram took Sarai his wife (age 66) and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions which they had acquired, and the people (servants) which they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 

6 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, to the [great] terebinth (oak) tree of Moreh.

Now the [b] Canaanites were in the land at that time.
 

​
7 Then the Lord appearedto Abram and said, 
“I will give this land to your descendants.” 

So Abram built an altar (at Sheckem at the great oak tree of Moreh) 
there to [honor]

​the Lord who had appeared to him. 
8 Then he moved on from there 

Between the House of God and Heap of Ruins

to the mountain on the east of Bethel (house of God), and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai (heap of ruins) on the east;


and there he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord
 

[in worship through prayer, praise, and thanksgiving].
 

9 Then Abram journeyed on, continuing toward the Negev (the South country of Judah).
​

10 Now there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down intoEgypt to live temporarily, for the famine in the land was oppressive and severe.

11 And when he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, 

“Listen: I know that you are [c] a beautiful woman; 12 so when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me [to acquire you], but they will let you live. 

13 Please tell them that you are [d] my sister... so that things will go well for me for your sake, and my life will be spared because of you.” 

14 And when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful. 

15 Pharaoh’s princes (officials) also saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken [for the purpose of marriage] into Pharaoh’s house (harem).


16 Therefore Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake; he acquired sheep, oxen, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.


17 But the Lord punished Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 

18 Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 

19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her and go!”
 


20 So Pharaoh told his men concerning him; and they escorted him on his way, with his wife and all that he had.

    The Crossroads Initiative is one of the great resources of christian Faith to evolve on the 21st Century Landscape of Today's Church. Dr. Italy, N.Y.Times Best Selling Author, and the D'Ambrosio Family have been a valuable resource in my life and I hope you will visit often.

    This was a Campus Crusader who wanted Early Church authenticity - I was called into the ministry under the street preaching of this wonderful Man of God in Berkeley, CA in 1971. He was a founder of God's Love household for Street Christians, the publisher of the Jesus People's Movement called "Right On" and through an amazing series of transformations throughout his ministry He was a founder of The University of Orthodox Theology (now called St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology) and oversaw the creation of The Orthodox Study Bible before the Lord moved him to his new address in heaven. Thanks Fr. Jack N. Sparks, Ph.D The Witness of Jack and his estimed Associates from Grace Haven Farms, New Covenant Apostolic Order, The Evangelical Orthodox Churches and theis eventual assimilation into the Antiochian Orthodox Church of America is truely one of the Great Church Histories of the 20th and 21st Century.

    Luke 3:16 "He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire."  Ask Jesus to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire today.
    Another significant influence in my life is the life and ministry of Winkey Pratney. His lifelong commitment to the study and application of Revival as both an apologist and polemicist raised the bar for me and he accomplished what I only dreamed - to Produce the Revival Study Bible. He has also been an intrinsic Man of God from the days of the Jesus People Movement and a part of my experience as a visiting teacher at Christ for the Nations in Dallas in 1975 and one of the principles in Y.W.A.M. Youth With A Mission that has had a direct impact on my sister, daughters, nephews and grandchildren. Thanks Brother Winkey for the legacy you have deposited into my life and the life of so many others.
