  Genesis chapter 16. Let us pray.
• 0:06
  Lord, my God, our Father, our everything, our boss and our
• 0:10
  king. We love you, Father, we love
• 0:12
  everything about you. God, come in, come in, come in.
• 0:15
  Lord, fill this space. God, fill this temple with the
• 0:20
  train of your robe. God, we cry out.
• 0:22
  Holy, holy, holy. We want to see a different facet
• 0:25
  of who you are. We want to see your majesty.
• 0:28
  God, we want to see your kind of glory.
• 0:31
  Father, come and shine upon us. God, make us bright as the sun.
• 0:36
  Lord, help us to go out and be your hands and feet to be the
• 0:40
  light of the world. God, help us not to sit
• 0:43
  underneath a lamp stand. God, help us not to sit
• 0:47
  underneath the shade. Lord, help us to go out, Father,
• 0:51
  to take the whole word to the end of the earth.
• 0:54
  Father, for all people in all generations, for all tongues and
• 0:59
  nations, God, for all of the people in this world.
• 1:02
  Lord, 8 billion souls, God, bring them unto yourself.
• 1:06
  Lord, I pray that you'll draw them unto yourself with dreams
• 1:11
  and visions and visitations. God, I pray that you'll continue
• 1:15
  to reveal yourself mightily where your word is outlawed and
• 1:19
  banned, God, for they cannot contain you.
• 1:22
  You are at all consuming fire. God, break in, God, break in
• 1:27
  today. Lord, speak to us.
• 1:30
  Lord, speak to your people. Speak to those who are called by
• 1:33
  your name. Father, save them to the utmost.
• 1:36
  God, bring us out of the fire unharmed and unscathed, not even
• 1:41
  smelling like smoke. Father, I pray that you'll help
• 1:44
  us. Lord.
• 1:45
  Help us to gird up our loin so that we can stand in your
• 1:48
  presence. Help us to charge the hill God.
• 1:51
  Help us not to shrink back in fear.
• 1:54
  I pray against anxiety and depression.
• 1:56
  In the mighty name of Jesus, bind the enemy from off of this
• 2:00
  time, God. Bind the suicidal spirit God,
• 2:03
  and cast him into the judgment that you have a waiting for him.
• 2:06
  Father, I pray God that you will come and that you will reveal
• 2:11
  more of who you are to us, God, more of your personality, more
• 2:17
  of your thoughts, more of your mind, the mind of Christ.
• 2:20
  Lord, I pray that you'll continue to help us to
• 2:24
  understand Your word. Help us, God, give us sound
• 2:27
  doctrine and sound theology. Hide me and hide my words.
• 2:31
  Hide my thoughts. Lord, it's all about you.
• 2:34
  It's always been about you. It'll always be about you.
• 2:38
  Shekinah, glory. Father, come, Yes, Lord, come.
• 2:41
  You are our everything Lord, we cannot even minister because of
• 2:47
  your presence. Father, come and wreck us God,
• 2:50
  come and ravage us. Father, I pray that we will
• 2:54
  yearn for more of you Lord, more of your presence, more of a
• 2:58
  touch God, more of an all consuming presence in our lives.
• 3:03
  Lord Holy Spirit, fill us today. Not just a little, not just
• 3:08
  halfway God, but overflowing God, I pray that it's all about
• 3:14
  you, Lord, You are our everything.
• 3:17
  Show us your eternal paths. Take us down these paths of
• 3:21
  righteousness. Take us down these corridors.
• 3:25
  God of your love and your mercy. God, take us down into the
• 3:30
  depths of your heart. Father, break our heart for what
• 3:34
  breaks yours. Help us God, Help us to know
• 3:37
  you, to see you, to learn about you, God, and not just to have
• 3:41
  an intellectual knowledge of of who you are, but an applicable
• 3:45
  knowledge. God.
• 3:46
  Help us to apply it to real life, Lord, to those that are
• 3:50
  hurting and dying and going by the wayside, we pray against
• 3:53
  addiction. God, in the mighty name of
• 3:56
  Jesus, let us be addicted to you.
• 3:59
  Lord, you are everything. We love you, King Jesus, it's
• 4:04
  all about you. I decrease as you increase.
• 4:14
  The Spirit and the bride say, come, we look up, we see our
• 4:22
  redemption drawing near. Come, Lord, come in Jesus
• 4:27
  Christ, holy and precious name, I pray men.
• 4:32
  Well, let's start in verse one. Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore
• 4:39
  him no children, and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian whose name
• 4:43
  was Hagar. So here's one of Abraham's
• 4:47
  troubles as he goes down into Egypt and they come out because
• 4:52
  Pharaoh kicked him out and rebuked him for telling him that
• 4:55
  Sarai was his sister and not his wife.
• 4:58
  And then he leaves out of there with many riches, but he also
• 5:02
  leaves out of there with Hagar. Let's see how it goes to.
• 5:07
  And Sarai said to Abram, Behold, now the Lord has restrained me
• 5:13
  from bearing, I pray you go in to my maid.
• 5:20
  It may be that I may obtain children by her.
• 5:24
  And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
• 5:27
  So here you need to understand the breakdown of the leadership
• 5:30
  of the family. And here Abram should not have
• 5:34
  listened to his wife and as wonderfully insightful and
• 5:40
  empathetic that women are to the world around us, full of the
• 5:49
  wisdom and full of the knowledge and full of information and
• 5:57
  information overload contained within the woman.
• 6:01
  And as she brings all this information to the man, he must
• 6:05
  make a decision if he's going to listen to her and the advice or
• 6:11
  to God. And God has not told him
• 6:13
  emphatically that he should go in unto Hagar and Egyptian.
• 6:19
  And here we can see the mess that the world is still dealing
• 6:23
  with today. Friends, this Ishmael and the
• 6:26
  descendants of Ishmael and the Muslims that came out of
• 6:31
  Ishmael. And you can see here that it is
• 6:35
  such a point of conjecture, a complete point of opposition
• 6:44
  towards the Jews and towards all of the things of Yahweh.
• 6:49
  And they both trace their lineage back to Abraham.
• 6:54
  Both the Jews and the Muslims have a father, Abraham.
• 6:59
  What an amazing thought that we can actually see real world
• 7:03
  today, these things laying out before us.
• 7:06
  And if you have the context and if you understand where the
• 7:11
  lineage and the genealogy go back to, you will actually have
• 7:16
  the upper hand to understand why things are that the way that
• 7:19
  they are. And all of the little nuances
• 7:22
  that you might not be able to understand in the world today
• 7:27
  can be explained through the lens of the Bible.
• 7:31
  If we will just get our nose into the Bible, if we will just
• 7:34
  learn the ways of Yahweh, if we will attach ourselves to the
• 7:40
  biblical narrative, all of the things in the entire world, all
• 7:45
  around the globe, to the universe makes sense.
• 7:49
  They are all fitting together perfectly.
• 7:52
  But it is the ignorance of the Word of God that is plaguing us.
• 7:56
  And we want to approach this world through the lens of
• 8:00
  morality. We want to approach this world
• 8:03
  through the lens of what we think is right and through this
• 8:07
  progressivism. And you need to understand that
• 8:10
  the Bible is relevant today and it's just as applicable to our
• 8:15
  time that it was over 2000 years ago.
• 8:20
  And that is the fact and that is the truth.
• 8:24
  And if you will learn the Bible and learn what the Word of God
• 8:28
  says, you will not be LED astray by all of the things that are
• 8:36
  happening in the world that try to tell us that the Bible is
• 8:40
  hateful and that it is archaic and barbaric and it needs to be
• 8:44
  done away with. That is a satanic attack,
• 8:46
  friends, trying to get us to leave the faith, to leave the
• 8:51
  word of God. And here's what you need to
• 8:53
  understand that we are the only ones, the Christians are the
• 8:58
  only ones who try to play both sides.
• 9:02
  If you are attached to another religion, the Muslim faith, they
• 9:07
  are very much in tune with what is the mandate for them.
• 9:14
  And it is the duplicity, and it is the being tossed to and fro,
• 9:21
  and it is the lukewarmness that is plaguing Christianity,
• 9:25
  plaguing our faith. Friends, we need to be resolute.
• 9:30
  We need to stand firm. We need to stand on what the
• 9:33
  Word of God says, unwavering, unapologetically.
• 9:37
  And that is the plain truth. 3 And Sarai, Abraham's wife, took
• 9:49
  Hagar Hermaid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt 10 years
• 9:55
  in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be
• 10:01
  his wife. What a complete disappointment.
• 10:06
  Here we see this father of faith.
• 10:09
  We see him operating in wins and he is actually doing what God
• 10:16
  has told him to do. And then here, through a moral
• 10:20
  failure, through distrust, and through him not waiting well, we
• 10:26
  see that he steps out from the will of God and God has a plan
• 10:32
  for it all. And he doesn't excuse it, but he
• 10:37
  can use it in the same way that he did with Judas.
• 10:45
  He does not excuse Judas actions, but he used Judas
• 10:51
  actions. And in the same way we're going
• 10:53
  to see him not excuse Abrahams actions, but he's going to use
• 10:59
  it. Let's keep moving, four.
• 11:03
  And he went into Hagar, and she conceived.
• 11:06
  And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was
• 11:09
  despised in her eyes. So here is some immaturity on
• 11:13
  the part of Hagar. And all of a sudden, because she
• 11:16
  sees that she is pregnant with her master's baby, all of a
• 11:21
  sudden now she has disdain for her mistress.
• 11:25
  She has disdain for her. And it is showing and it is
• 11:30
  manifesting within the community.
• 11:34
  Let's see how it goes. 5 And Sir, I said to Abram, My wrong
• 11:40
  be upon you, I have given my maid into your bosom.
• 11:45
  And when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her
• 11:49
  eyes. The Lord judged between me and
• 11:51
  you. Look at the breakdown here.
• 11:53
  Because Abram was not the spiritual leader of his
• 11:56
  household, and he listened to his wife's ridiculous notion,
• 12:04
  and you would think that she would take some responsibility,
• 12:07
  but it's not her responsibility to take.
• 12:10
  And this is a perfect picture of what happens whenever we allow
• 12:16
  the wife to rule the roost and to lead the family.
• 12:21
  There is disunity, friends, and it is not the way that God has
• 12:26
  intended it. If the man will submit to God in
• 12:29
  God's ways, then the woman will have no she will have zero
• 12:36
  problem with being submissive unto her husband.
• 12:39
  And you will see the children in the house being obedient unto
• 12:43
  her. And whenever we step out of the
• 12:46
  line, when we step out of this perfect plan of God, this is
• 12:51
  where you see so much breakdown within the family.
• 12:54
  And here you can see that Abram should have interjected and he
• 12:59
  should have told her, no, this is not what we're going to do.
• 13:04
  But what did he do? He listened to her.
• 13:06
  And now look, go and read the text.
• 13:08
  Look, she turns it around and she blames it on him, friends.
• 13:12
  And this is a perfect picture of what it looks like whenever we
• 13:17
  try to allow women to lead in a place where they're not supposed
• 13:22
  to. And that is plain and that is
• 13:25
  simple and that is truthful, friends, regardless if it is
• 13:29
  popular. And you need to also understand
• 13:33
  that if a man will not lead, a woman will.
• 13:36
  She'll step up and she has it within her.
• 13:39
  It's innate. It's an innate ability for her
• 13:43
  to step into leadership roles, but it is not the way of the
• 13:48
  Lord. 6 And Abram said to Sarah, behold, your maid is in your
• 13:58
  hand, do with her as it pleases you.
• 14:01
  And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
• 14:05
  Here Hagar is still pregnant friends.
• 14:09
  And to add insult to injury, Abram says do with her whatever
• 14:15
  you want instead of him stepping up and trying to make the best
• 14:21
  out of a poor situation. He made it even worse and he
• 14:25
  told her to do whatever she felt like she needed to do and here
• 14:29
  she's dealing with her harshly. It was her idea to begin with
• 14:33
  and now everyone is paying the price for stepping out of the
• 14:37
  line of what God has planned for them.
• 14:40
  And now you see this pregnant Hagar fleeing from Abram and
• 14:45
  Sarai's presence. 7 And the Angel of the Lord found her by a
• 14:51
  fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in
• 14:55
  the way of sure. So here you need to understand
• 14:58
  this pregnant young woman is fleeing from the presence of
• 15:04
  Sarai Abram. And here Jesus Christ, a
• 15:08
  Christophany, the Angel of the Lord, comes and wants to speak
• 15:14
  to her. Eight.
• 15:16
  And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come and
• 15:21
  where do you go? And she said, I flee from the
• 15:25
  face of my mistress Sarai. So look at how Christ, he's
• 15:30
  already telling her that he knows who she is.
• 15:34
  He sees her friends. He calls her by name.
• 15:38
  He tells her that he knows she is Sarai's maid.
• 15:42
  He already knows where where she has come from and she he already
• 15:46
  knows where she's going back to 9.
• 15:49
  And the Angel of the Lord said to her, return to your mistress,
• 15:54
  submit yourself under her hands. He's saying repent, go back,
• 16:00
  trust. Go back and do what it is that
• 16:04
  you're supposed to do. Do not leave in this condition.
• 16:09
  10 And the Angel of the Lord said to her, I will multiply
• 16:13
  your seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for
• 16:18
  multitude. This is the birth of the Muslim
• 16:24
  world right here, friends. This is the Arabic world,
• 16:28
  friends, and you can see where there's so much of the conflict
• 16:35
  within from the Muslims and the Jews.
• 16:41
  You see that they're actually brothers and their father is
• 16:45
  Abraham 11 And the Angel of the Lord said to her, Behold, you
• 16:51
  are with child, and shall bear a son, and shall call his name
• 16:56
  Ishmael, because the Lord has heard your affliction.
• 17:00
  So here, this is what you need to understand is that we pray
• 17:08
  for the Muslim people and we pray that God will visit them in
• 17:13
  dreams and visions and visitations, the man in white
• 17:18
  and save them friends. And there is so much fruit that
• 17:24
  comes out from these Muslim nations, where they have seen
• 17:30
  both sides, and they realize that Jesus Christ is the Lord,
• 17:35
  He is God Almighty, and he's not just a prophet. 11 In the Angel
• 17:44
  of the Lord said unto her, Behold, you are with child, and
• 17:47
  shall bear son, and his name shall be called Ishmael.
• 17:51
  So here he names him and gives him his purpose and direction.
• 17:58
  Here, friends, 12 And he, he will be a Wildman, His hand will
• 18:05
  be against every man, and every man's hand against him, and he
• 18:10
  shall dwell in the presence of all his brothers.
• 18:14
  So what an interesting fact here.
• 18:17
  He's calling him, God shall hear, and then he's giving him
• 18:25
  the mandate of being a Wildman and always being at conflict.
• 18:33
  And we see that playing out even to this day. 13 And she called
• 18:41
  the name of the Lord that spoke to her, the God who sees me, For
• 18:47
  she said, I have I also here looked after him that sees me.
• 18:52
  She's looked upon the Lord God who sees her in her affliction.
• 18:58
  Elroy 14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahi Roy because it
• 19:06
  is between Kadesh and Bered 15 and Hagar bore Abram a son, and
• 19:12
  Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bore Ishmael.
• 19:16
  So here we can see. Then she goes back to Abram, she
• 19:20
  goes back to Sarai, she tells them all about the Angel of the
• 19:24
  Lord that met her at the well, and what he had said, and what
• 19:28
  he told her to name him. And then Abram honored it and
• 19:33
  allowed it to happen, and let his name be called Ishmael.
• 19:39
  God shall hear 16 will end here and Abram was 86 years old when
• 19:47
  Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram they put the fun and dysfunctional.
• 19:59
  We can only imagine a world had Abram not gone down into Egypt
• 20:03
  during the famine and brought Hagar with him.
• 20:07
  We can only imagine a world where.
• 20:10
  Sarai had not told him to go into her handmaid.
• 20:15
  But God has an amazing plan for the Muslim people, friends, and
• 20:21
  He's rescuing them left and right.
• 20:24
  And we pray in the mighty name of Jesus that they come into the
• 20:28
  fold in the same way that we do through Yeshua, the Way, the
• 20:34
  truth, and the life. I pray that you've been blessed
• 20:38
  by this amazing chapter in God's Word.
• 20:41
  I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
• 20:44
  of you. I love you.
• 20:52
  So does God. Stay prayed up.
• 20:58
  He's worthy. He's worthy to be praised.
• 21:03
  Don't slack off. Don't slack up.
• 21:06
  Don't backslide. Stay rooted and grounded,
• 21:10
  steadfast, pressing towards him, towards the light, pressing
• 21:16
  towards eternity. Live in light of eternity.
• 21:23
  Do not let this world overcome you.
• 21:28
  Do not allow a lukewarm, watered down gospel to infiltrate the
• 21:35
  camp. We stand firm on what the Word
• 21:38
  of God says to the end. Praying for you.
• 21:45
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 21:47
  God bless you.
