The Presence of God Part 4

In this episode we discuss the altar of Isaac and his son Jacob's altar. You will discover:

1. God not only provides a place for His presence but fulfillment and fruitfulness in His presence.

2. Isaac built an altar to the Lord with gratitude (Ps 116:17).

3. Isaac demonstrated that we as believers must abide and dwell in the presence of the Lord.  There we find shelter, refuge, safety, strength, hope, and peace.

4. Jacob built an altar. Gen. 35:3

5. God identified himself to Jacob as El-Shaddai, the Almighty God.

6. Our real struggle is realizing and acknowledging our weaknesses and using it as fuel too seek God's favor and blessing with all our heart, soul, and might.

7. Jacob's altar demonstrates the beauty and grace of surrendering to the process in which God uses to lead us to His purposes, promises and will.
