The Filling Station – Genesis 19.
theunfetteredpreacher.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/wpid-wp-1421844848087.jpeg?w=1429″ />
This series is a look at the Natures of the Godhead, I believe the Lord in the Old Testament is the Father, Jehovah or Yahweh, and God, Elohim is the Son, Jesus . As we go through the interactions with man we see how they are always in agreement but differ in speach and Temperment.
Genesis 19:
The story of Sodom said Gomorrah, Note: Yahweh told Abraham what was going to happen, Abraham prayed not to destroy the city if there were 10 righteousness people. “Would you destroy the innocent with the guilty?”
Yahweh did not enter the city, the two angels alone went in. Lot saved them from the men
and young boys who would rape them by offering his virgin daughters.
The angels pulled Lot inside and blinded the people so they could not find the door.
Lot Leaves Sodom, and the Cities Are Destroyed
12 Then the men asked Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—any in-laws, sons, daughters, or any other relatives in the city? Get them out of here 13 because we’re going to destroy this place. The complaints to Yahweh against its people are so loud that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”
14 So Lot went out and spoke to the men engaged to his daughters. He said, “Hurry! Get out of this place, because Yahweh is going to destroy the city.” But they thought he was joking.
Note: Yahweh was saving Lot and all who would go with him.
15 As soon as it was dawn, the angels urged Lot by saying, “Quick! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you’ll be swept away when the city is punished.” 16 When he hesitated, the men grabbed him, his wife, and his two daughters by their hands, because Yahweh wanted to spare Lot. They brought them safely outside the city. 17 As soon as they were outside, one of the angels said, “Run for your lives! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stop on the plain. Run for the hills, or you’ll be swept away!”
The angels grabbed them by the hands because Yahweh (The Lord), wanted to save them. Why? Because of Abraham’s love and prayers.
Jude 22
22 Show mercy to those who have doubts. 23 Save others by snatching them from the fire of hell. Show mercy to others, even though you are afraid that you might be stained by their sinful lives .
Lot only went to a city close by instead of fleeing as the angels told him, Yahweh did not destroy that city for Lots sake.
23 The sun had just risen over the land as Lot came to Zoar. 24 Then Yahweh made burning sulfur and fire rain out of heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah. 25 He destroyed those cities, the whole plain, all who lived in the cities, and whatever grew on the ground. 26 Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a column of salt.
27 Early the next morning Abraham came to the place where he had stood in front of Yahweh. 28 When he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land in the plain, he saw smoke rising from the land like the thick smoke of a furnace.
29 When Elohim destroyed the cities on the plain, Elohim remembered Abraham. Lot was allowed to escape from the destruction that came to the cities where he was living.
Yahweh and Elohim destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. The Father and Son act as one, in agreement. Since the men engaged to the daughters stayed, the daughters slept with their father.
We find in Deuteronomy that Yahweh had land set aside for Lots children as well as Esau decendants.

Are there Giants in the land?
Are there Giants in your life?
Before I accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, I was constantly fighting the Giants that had me enslaved.
Loneliness, alcoholism, fear, depression, ineptitude, lust, pride, nicotine, rejection and probably many I can’t name.
“There were giants in the earth in those days;”
Everywhere I looked, walked or worked. Everything I heard, read or spoke. I was nothing, then the best. I was brilliant then a dunce. I was around people but always alone.
I lived in “the land of giants.”
There was no escape, no relief, no hope.
Then I was introduced to Jesus. Oh happy day, the Giants have gone away!!!
I wish….
I had accepted Jesus as my Lord…I experienced the Peace that passes understanding, the Joy unspeakable and full of Glory, the Comfort and Love of the Holy Spirit.
Life was great!!! Until it wasn’t.
The Giants were creeping back. Those…

Hebrews 12:26
Names of God Bible (NOG)
26 When God spoke to your ancestors, his voice shook the earth. But now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the sky.”
Gods voice shook the earth and He has promised it will once again.
Meanwhile the voices of His people barely cause a ripple.
We shout out from the gates of the city: Repent, seek Wisdom, turn from your wicked ways.
The crowd continues on by…..paying no heed, seeing no need, sinful indeed.
They cannot hear our words over the noise of our lives.
We look, walk, speak and do the things of the world and imagine we are set apart, sanctified, holy. (We are not).
We must stand fast in our faith, act like men and see the Salvation of God.
Be strong, fear not and proclaim the love and faithfulness of the Lord to save, heal and comfort whosoever will.
Whosoever will, will never know, if we never tell them.

Genesis 18:
The Lord’s Sixth Promise to Abraham
18 Yahweh appeared to Abraham by the oak trees belonging to Mamre as he was sitting at the entrance of his tent during the hottest part of the day.
3 “Please, sir,” Abraham said, “stop by to visit me for a while.
This is interesting to me, Abraham has been walking before the Lord for 24 years….He has heard Him, spoken with Him, Worshipped, built alters, yet here the Lord appeared in bodily form and Abraham doesn’t recognize Him.
The Lord speaks:
10 Yahweh said, “I promise I’ll come back to you next year at this time, and your wife Sarah will have a son.”
Sarah happened to be listening at the entrance of the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were old. Sarah was past the age of childbearing. 12 And so Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “Now that I’ve become old, will I enjoy myself again? What’s more, my husband is old!”
13 Yahweh asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really have a child now that I’m old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? I will come back to you next year at this time, and Sarah will have a son.”
15 Because she was afraid, Sarah denied that she had laughed.
But Yahweh said, “Yes, you did laugh.”
The Lord Tells Abraham about His Plan
16 Then the men got up to leave. As Abraham was walking with them to see them off, they looked toward Sodom. 17 Yahweh said, “I shouldn’t hide what I am going to do from Abraham. 18 After all, Abraham is going to become a great and mighty nation and through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed. 19 I have chosen him so that he will direct his children and his family after him to keep the way of Yahweh by doing what is right and just. In this way I, Yahweh, will do what I have promised Abraham.”
20 Yahweh also said, “Sodom and Gomorrah have many complaints against them, and their sin is very serious. 21 I must go down and see whether these complaints are true. If not, I will know it.”
The Lords words to Abraham :
* He will know my plans he will be great and mighty nation.
* I have chosen him; so he will show the way of the Lord.
* I will do as promised.
* Lord going to Sodom and Gomorrah to see if sin is true.
The Lord already new, He was giving a chance of reconciliation.
22 From there the men turned and went on toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing in front of Yahweh. 23 Abraham came closer and asked, “Are you really going to sweep away the innocent with the guilty?
Abraham stood in the way of the Lord, stopped the Lord….we have power to change things, to save life.
26 Yahweh said, “If I find 50 innocent people inside the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
27 Abraham asked, “Consider now, if I may be so bold as to ask you, although I’m only dust and ashes, 28 what if there are 45 innocent people? Will you destroy the whole city because of 5 fewer people?”
Yahweh answered, “I will not destroy it if I find 45 there.”
32 “Please don’t be angry if I speak only one more time,” Abraham said. “What if 10 are found there?”
He answered, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the 10.” 33 When Yahweh finished speaking to Abraham, he left. Abraham returned home.
Prayer for others….he stood in the Lords way….what power we have when we’re not thinking about ourselves.

The Filling Station – 16 – 17 Genesis – 16 – 17
Genesis 16:
In chapter 15 we have that great verse: “Abram believed the Lord and it was counted to him for righteousness.” He believed the Lord would give him an heir but decided to help Him along.
He and Sarai decided on their own plan. Without consulting the Lord. So we have Ishmael, and a warning to wait on the Lords timing and plan. Our ways are not the Lords ways.
Genesis 17:
Here we are Abram has loved, worshipped and obeyed the Lord for 24 years. He has heard the name of God from Melchizedek, and heard Gods voice in a dream. Now he will meet Him.
Genesis 17
Names of God Bible (NOG)
The Lord’s Fifth Promise to Abraham
17 “When Abram was 99 years old, Yahweh appeared to him. He said to Abram, “I am El Shadday. Live in my presence with integrity. 2 I will give you my promise,[a] and I will give you very many descendants.”
Please read carefully, words mean things.
* The Lord (Yahweh ), appeared to Abram.
* Introduced Himself as El Shadday (Almighty God)
* The Lord said “live in my presence with integrity”. (walk before me and be ye perfect). “I will give you many descendants.”
Then we see how he reacts to meeting Almighty God for the first time:
3 “Immediately, Abram bowed with his face touching the ground, and again Elohim spoke to him, 4 “My promise is still with you. You will become the father of many nations. 5 So your name will no longer be Abram [Exalted Father], but Abraham [Father of Many] because I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will give you many descendants. Many nations and kings will come from you. 7 I will make my promise to you and your descendants for generations to come as an everlasting promise. I will be your Elohim and the God of your descendants. 8 I am also giving this land where you are living—all of Canaan—to you and your descendants as your permanent possession. And I will be your Elohim.”
Abram mets Almighty God:
* Abram bows down in Worship (didn’t happen when first meeting the Lord)
* Almighty God repeated the Lords promises
* Almighty God made no demands, He saw the love in Worship.
* Almighty God gave Abram and Sarai new names
9 “Elohim also said to Abraham, “You and your descendants in generations to come are to be faithful to my promise. 10 This is how you are to be faithful to my promise: Every male among you is to be circumcised. 11 All of you must be circumcised. That will be the sign of the promise from me to you.”
* Circumcision was Instituted
To me, this is the moment Abraham met Jesus, Worship, new names, circumcision of our hearts…only requirement is love.
15 “Elohim said to Abraham, “Don’t call your wife by the name Sarai anymore. Instead, her name is Sarah [Princess]. 16 I will bless her, and I will also give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will become a mother of nations, and kings will come from her.” 17 Immediately, Abraham bowed with his face touching the ground. He laughed as he thought to himself, “Can a son be born to a hundred-year-old man? Can Sarah, a ninety-year-old woman, have a child?” 18 Then Abraham said to Elohim, “Why not let Ishmael be my heir?”
19 “Elohim replied, “No! Your wife Sarah will give you a son, and you will name him Isaac [He Laughs]. I will make an everlasting promise to him and his descendants. 20 I have heard your request about Ishmael. Yes, I will bless him, make him fertile, and increase the number of his descendants. He will be the father of 12 princes, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But I will make my promise to Isaac. Sarah will give birth to him at this time next year.” 22 When Elohim finished speaking with Abraham, he left him.”
Abraham’s Household Circumcised
23 “So Abraham took his son Ishmael, everyone born in his household, and everyone bought with money—every male in his household—and circumcised them that day, as Elohim had told him. 24 Abraham was 99 years old when he was circumcised. 25 His son Ishmael was 13 years old when he was circumcised. 26 That same day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. 27 All the men of his household, whether born in the household or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.”
Immediate obedience: Notice when the Lord first called Abram :
Genesis 12
King James Version (KJV)
12 “Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:”
The Lord had said : To me it seems the Lord had to mention it more than once. After years of service, he learned to follow immediately.

Genesis 14: Abram meets Melchizedek the priest of God :
Melchizedek Blesses Abram
17 After Abram came back from defeating Chedorlaomer and his allies, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Shaveh Valley (that is, the King’s Valley). 18 Then King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of El Elyon.
(El Elyou means God most high).
19 He blessed Abram, and said,
“Blessed is Abram by El Elyon,
maker[b] of heaven and earth.
20 Blessed is El Elyon,
who has handed your enemies over to you.”
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and keep everything else for yourself.”
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I now raise my hand and solemnly swear to Yahweh El Elyon, maker of heaven and earth, 23 that I won’t take a thread or a sandal strap. I won’t take anything that is yours so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ 24 I won’t take one single thing except what my men have eaten. But let my allies Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.”
This is the first mention of God in Abrams life. Some say he met Jesus, stick around I have another idea.
Genesis 15
Names of God Bible (NOG)
The Lord’s Fourth Promise to Abram
15 Later Yahweh spoke his word to Abram in a vision. He said,
“Abram, don’t be afraid.
I am your shield.
Your reward will be very great.”[a]
2 Abram asked, “Adonay Yahweh, what will you give me? Since I’m going to die without children, Eliezer of Damascus will inherit[b] my household. 3 You have given me no children, so this member of my household will be my heir.”
(Adonay Yahweh means Sovereign Master, Jehovah ).
Suddenly, Yahweh spoke his word to Abram again. He said, “This man will not be your heir. Your own son will be your heir.”
” 6 Then Abram believed Yahweh, and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abram’s approval by Yahweh. 7 Then Yahweh said to him, “I am Yahweh, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land so that you will take possession of it.”
8 Abram asked, “Adonay Yahweh, how can I be certain that I will take possession of it?”
12 As the sun was just about to set, a deep sleep—a dreadful, deep darkness—came over Abram.”
Elohim speaks to Abram in a dream :
13 “Elohim said to Abram, “You can know for sure that your descendants will live in a land that is not their own, where they will be slaves, and they will be oppressed for 400 years. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve, and after that they will come out with many possessions. 15 But you will die in peace and be buried at a very old age. 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, because the sin of the Amorites will not have run its course until then.”
17 The sun had gone down, and it was dark. Suddenly a smoking oven and a flaming torch passed between the animal pieces. 18 At that time Yahweh made a promise[c] to Abram. He said, “I will give this land to your descendants. This is the land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates. 19 It is the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

In chapter 12 Abram meets Yahweh :
Genesis 12
Names of God Bible (NOG)
The Lord’s First Promise to Abram
12 Yahweh said to Abram,
“Leave your land,
your relatives,
and your father’s home.
Go to the land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation,
I will bless you.
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you, I will curse.
Through you every family on earth will be blessed.”
The Lord’s Second Promise to Abram
4 “So Abram left, as Yahweh had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran.
. 7 Then Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I’m going to give this land to your descendants.” So he built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.”
8 “He moved on to the hills east of Bethel, and he put up his tent—with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. He also built an altar to Yahweh there and worshiped Yahweh. 9 Abram kept moving toward the Negev.”
Abram Deceives Pharaoh
13 “Please say that you’re my sister. Then everything will be alright for me, and because of you I will live.”
14 “When Abram arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw how very beautiful his wife was. 15 When Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they raved about her to Pharaoh, so Sarai was taken to Pharaoh’s palace.”
17 “However, Yahweh struck Pharaoh and his household with terrible plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 Then Pharaoh called for Abram. “What have you done to me?” he asked. “Why didn’t you tell me that she’s your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She’s my sister’ and allow me to take her for my wife? Here’s your wife! Take her and go!” 20 Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram. They sent Abram away with his wife and everything that he had.”
Genesis 13
Names of God Bible (NOG)
Abram and Lot Separate
13 “Abram left Egypt with his wife and everything he had and went to the Negev. Lot was with him. 2 Abram was very rich because he had livestock, silver, and gold. 3 He traveled from place to place. He went from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the area between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been originally, 4 where he had first made an altar. There Abram worshiped Yahweh.”
8 Abram said to Lot, “Please, let’s not have any more quarrels between us or between our herders. After all, we’re relatives.
10 Then Lot looked in the direction of Zoar as far as he could see. He saw that the whole Jordan Plain was well-watered like Yahweh’s garden or like Egypt. (This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
12 Abram lived in Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain, moving his tents as far as Sodom. 13 (The people who lived in Sodom were very wicked. They committed terrible sins against Yahweh.)”
The Lord’s Third Promise to Abram
14 “After Lot left, Yahweh said to Abram, “Look north, south, east, and west of where you are. 15 I will give all the land you see to you and to your descendants for an indefinite period of time. 16 I will also give you as many descendants as the dust of the earth. If anyone could count the dust of the earth, then he could also count your descendants. 17 Go! Walk back and forth across the entire land because I will give it to you.” 18 So Abram moved his tents and went to live by the oak trees belonging to Mamre at Hebron. There he built an altar for Yahweh.”
Please note Abram has delt with and built alters and sacrificed only to Yahweh he has not heard the Name of Elohim.

The Fix-it Shop – “Depart from me , O Lord !”
“for I am a sinful man,”
Peter had just seen a miracle. They had fished all night with no results. Jesus told him to let down his nets again, he did and the fish filled two boats almost to sinking.
Peter, James and John were astonished. Peter cried out: “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
Have you ever asked the Lord to depart, to leave you because you are unworthy.
I am worthy to be in the presence of the Most High God, only by the blood sacrifice of Jesus.
Now I can go boldly to the throne of grace and receive mercy and grace in my time of need.
I can go boldly,…. but do I? Do any of us really practice, being in the presence of God?
When we spend time with God are we always petitioning Him for our needs or the needs of others. Do we really know how to love Him? He certainly loves us, He died for us, are we willing to die for Him.
I knew a man for years, I knew he was a Christian and I assumed he knew I was also. He did not know of my love for the Lord. Not by my words or actions, my witness was sorely lacking.
I had fallen away, I let the devil knock me down and keep me down for a number of years.
I loved the Lord but I wasn’t in His Word or presence.
I was relying on old knowledge of Him. Remembering His Love and Grace instead of experiencing it anew. I was Saved but Spiritually dead. I needed to be quickened once again.
The Lords mercy is new every morning. We need to seek His face with every new day. Experience His love, comfort and peace to understand His plan for our life.
The manna The Lord gave them in the desert was food for that day only. (Except for the Sabbath). They collected what they needed, a little or a lot and they had what was needed that day.
The Word of God is our manna today, we must collect what we need to stay in His presence. We must have new manna daily, The Lord will cause you to see and understand the workings of the Word, if we hunger and thirst for Him.
Jesus promised Peter, James and John that they would become fishers of men. Here they are with their biggest cstch ever.
“So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him”.
Have we?

In chapter 10 we have no real interaction except Yahweh blessing a mighty warrior / hunter
Genesis 10:8-9
Names of God Bible (NOG)
8 “Cush was the father of Nimrod, the first mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter whom Yahweh blessed. That’s why people used to say, “He’s like Nimrod, a mighty hunter whom Yahweh blessed.”
Genesis 11
We have Yahweh on earth checking out the tower of Babal.
Genesis 11:5-8
Names of God Bible (NOG)
5 “Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that the descendants of Adam were building. 6 Yahweh said, “They are one people with one language. This is only the beginning of what they will do! Now nothing they plan to do will be too difficult for them. 7 Let us go down there and mix up their language so that they won’t understand each other.”
8 So Yahweh scattered them all over the face of the earth, and they stopped building the city.”
It is interesting to note tongues were used to scatter people, at Pentecost used to bring people to unity of the faith.
Then once again people split instead of growing together.

God Blesses Noah and His Sons
9 Elohim blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fertile, increase in number, and fill the earth.
God’s Promise—The Sign of the Rainbow
8 Elohim also said to Noah and his sons, 9 “I am going to make my promise[a] to you, your descendants, 10 and every living being that is with you—birds, domestic animals, and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ship—every living thing on earth. 11 I am making my promise to you. Never again will all life be killed by floodwaters. Never again will there be a flood that destroys the earth.”
12 Elohim said, “This is the sign of the promise I am giving to you and every living being that is with you for generations to come. 13 I will put my rainbow in the clouds to be a sign of my promise to the earth.
17 So Elohim said to Noah, “This is the sign of the promise I am making to all life on earth.”
28 Noah lived 350 years after the flood. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years; then he died.
Here again we see the Lord and God in perfect harmony. Their speach is definitely different from the other.

We are still dealing with Noah and the flood. I find this interesting :
Genesis 8
Names of God Bible (NOG)
God Remembers Noah
” Elohim remembered Noah and all the wild and domestic animals with him in the ship. So Elohim made a wind blow over the earth, and the water started to go down”
Then Elohim spoke to Noah, “Come out of the ship with your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives. Bring out every animal that’s with you: birds, domestic animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth. Be fertile, increase in number, and spread over the earth.”
“So Noah came out with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives. Every animal, crawling creature, and bird—everything that moves on the earth—came out of the ship, one kind after another.
“Noah built an altar to Yahweh. On it he made a burnt offering of each type of clean[a] animal and clean bird. Yahweh smelled the soothing aroma. Yahweh said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of humans, even though from birth their hearts are set on nothing but evil. I will never again kill every living creature as I have just done.”
“As long as the earth exists,
planting and harvesting,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never stop.”
Again we definitely have conversations with two separate members of the Trinity. We will see almost all offerings are to the Lord….because Jesus is the ultimate offering. This is the first recorded burnt offering.
The covenant of the rainbow was made by the Lord….
