It's so wonderful to be here with you.

I got to work from God today.

In fact, I want to move right into it.

I want you to turn in your word to Genesis chapter 15.

If you have a difficult time finding Genesis,

meet me after service and we'll pray for you.

Genesis chapter 15, we're going to read quite a few verses therein.

That will establish the thought that I have for today.

We're going to read Genesis chapter 15 verses 1 through 11

and then we'll jump down to verse 17 and read 17 and 18.

It says, after these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision,

saying, do not be afraid, Abram.

I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.

But Abram said, Lord God, what will you give me seeing I go childless?

And the air of my house is eliaser of Damascus.

In other words, I'm struggling because you made some promises to me.

And one of the promises that you made is that I was going to have a child.

And I don't see no child.

And I understand that in order for me to have legacy,

the child has to be born in my house.

And the only one that's in my house to carry on my legacy is my servant,

eliaser. I'm struggling with this.
