We are people hungry to 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000 encounter God through worship and His Word being witnesses to 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,520 the world around us. We pray this teaching blesses 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,080 you and trust God will reveal Himself to you in a new way 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,079 today. And if you need prayer for 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,360 healing or breakthrough? Want to find out more about 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,360 Omega? Get to our website or Facebook 8 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:26,120 page through the links below. So we continue with our study on 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,960 the Book of Galatians, chapter 4, verses 21 to 31, 21 to 31. 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,880 Now in this yeah, I would like to ask this general question 11 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,160 again. Has anybody come having read 12 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:43,240 this passage? Ah, good. 13 00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:44,800 All chocolates will go. Very good. 14 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,520 Please somebody take the I see improvement. 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:56,560 That's really good. Now tell me somebody, was it 16 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,760 easy? Easy to understand. 17 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,040 Very easy to understand. Yeah, that is good. 18 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,840 Well, I know the Bible is not a simple book. 19 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,680 And this passage is more complicated, very complicated, 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,080 because it goes against the common sense. 21 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,800 It goes against the common sense because you do not tell somebody 22 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,880 who is been rejected and who is looked down upon as the no, That 23 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,440 person is you. You look down on somebody and 24 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,760 say no, no, no, That person is you. 25 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,120 You don't like to be compared like that, isn't it? 26 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,840 So that's what Paul is actually doing here. 27 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Now, what he says here is that the words he uses here, Where is 28 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,840 that? Yeah, I'm going to get the wrong 29 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:59,520 place. Yeah, 21 to 31 who I'm looking 30 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400 into first. I said that's wrong, so why 31 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:10,479 don't I see it? So sorry for chapter 4 was 21 32 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:13,680 onwards. Tell me, you who want to be 33 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,240 under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 34 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,160 Basically he is arguing. You know, in the previous 35 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,080 message we have talked about why these people want to go back to 36 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,960 Jewish laws, practicing the Jewish laws, and he was telling 37 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,800 them please don't do it, please don't do it. 38 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,680 He was giving many reasons. And now he comes with one final 39 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,320 reason why they should not go back to Jewish system. 40 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,320 So he says, tell me, you know, it's just engaging them in kind 41 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,360 of a dialogue. Tell me, you who want to be 42 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,280 under the law, are you not aware that what the law says for his 43 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,760 return, that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and 44 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,560 the other by the free woman? His son by the slave woman was 45 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,040 born in the ordinary way, but his son by the free woman was 46 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:06,320 born as a result of promise. Ah, that's really beautiful. 47 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,520 It's very, very beautiful. This story is very, very simple, 48 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,280 common. Every Jew knows the story, but 49 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,760 the meaning that Paul is bringing out is not what they 50 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,240 had in their mind for 1500 plus years. 51 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,160 I would say even 2000 years, 2000 years, they knew the story, 52 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,800 this they grew up around the story. 53 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400 But Paul says hey, you think you know it? 54 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,480 No, I am going to give a different meaning to it. 55 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,040 So he reinterprets what is a common knowledge. 56 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,360 He gives a new meaning and then he says what does he say here? 57 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,680 These things may be taken figuratively. 58 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,120 For the women represents 2 covenants. 59 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760 In another class it says they are allegories. 60 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,000 What is an allegory? Allegory is an extended metaphor 61 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,320 that you can compare many things. 62 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,600 It is more, it is a metaphor. You know this is one of those 63 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,800 things. And do we have freedom to 64 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:18,839 allegorize everything? It is good we should have some 65 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,040 kind of a broad guidelines about how to allegorize things, 66 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,240 particularly with when it comes to studying the Bible. 67 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,120 When something is allegorized from the Old Testament and is 68 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,800 talked about in the New Testament, it gets a sanction 69 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,480 already because the Holy Spirit has used that particular apostle 70 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,320 or that particular disciple to do it. 71 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,000 We cannot just take a particular in the first few centuries. 72 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,880 There are few people like Oregon and you know another guy and who 73 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,840 were allegorizing everything. I will give an example. 74 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,200 They will say the Good Samaritan story. 75 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,320 When they talk about the Good Samaritan story, the four legs 76 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,240 of the donkey or the four gospels and he gives 2 coins. 77 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Now one is the Old Testament, another New Testament. 78 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,120 Already you are laughing. Why it is not right is not 79 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,720 right. So we don't allegorize 80 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,680 everything. We need to have some boundaries 81 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,240 to do it. And the boundaries is the Bible 82 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,360 itself is the boundary. And Paul here goes out of his 83 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,120 way to explain and allegorize and he says these are two people 84 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,080 there, two women and their children are allegories for us. 85 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,320 They stand like stories. But then I want to tell you what 86 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960 the deep meaning is, is what Paul is trying to say here. 87 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,640 But before I go launch further into it, I want to give an 88 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:44,160 illustration about what is the power power of the word promise. 89 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,760 Do you see there in verse? Why do I struggle every time? 90 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:59,320 Galatians 4 There it says by, but his son by the free woman 91 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,000 was born as a result of a promise. 92 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,840 Everybody say promise. What is a promise? 93 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,800 What is a promise? We break promises, do we? 94 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,120 It's very common for us to break promises. 95 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,760 But when God makes a promise, it is never broken. 96 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,200 When God makes a promise, it never fails. 97 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,560 It will come to pass. Whatever he says, he will come 98 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,880 to pass. So question is we have to hear 99 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,800 from God is more important not assume he has spoken now so many 100 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,040 times Christians have one big problem is they guess I think 101 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520 God has said it yes to this matter. 102 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,800 And then after down the line, after a few months and years, 103 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,760 they say, oh, it's not working. So very what's wrong. 104 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,920 What's wrong is you assumed God spoke when he has not spoken. 105 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,360 That's why you're disappointed now. 106 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,400 So This is why we need to learn to hear God, cultivate the habit 107 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,800 of hearing God. And the promise is never going 108 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,880 to fall to the ground. From the book of Genesis to 109 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,920 Revelation, every promise has been kept and fulfilled. 110 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,040 And that is what is going to happen when he, he is going to 111 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,000 come back and we are going to be raised up with new bodies. 112 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,360 We are going to meet Him in heaven. 113 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,720 And if he is going to come down and we are going to reign, what? 114 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,120 What? All these things are promises 115 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,560 but yet to be fulfilled. But promise is coming out of the 116 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800 character of God. It is His nature. 117 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,480 And when it is, when you hang it on His nature, upon His 118 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:43,080 unchangeable, faithful nature, that promise is definitely going 119 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,000 to happen. It will never, it will never 120 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000 become a mirage. You know something that looks 121 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,280 like water. It is not water. 122 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,240 It is never like that. It is never. 123 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800 You go and drink and you are not satisfied with your thirst. 124 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,800 It is not going to happen. If it is God, it will come to 125 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,640 pass. But if it is not God, it may 126 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,560 pass by you. That is the reason why we need 127 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,880 to learn to receive promise from God, from God. 128 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,400 And when you stand on it, even though it does not make sense, 129 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,280 you stand on it, He will fulfill it because that is the nature of 130 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,640 a promise. The nature of a promise is it 131 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800 will not make sense when you are standing on it. 132 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,960 Think of you, think of Abraham at the age of 75. 133 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,240 God says, OK, leave your people, your country, come show, follow 134 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:38,880 me. I will show you. 135 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,600 I will take you where I want to take you. 136 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,559 I will bless you. I will give you the land. 137 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,400 He starts following him and then after a few years he's still not 138 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,280 having children. He talks about it to God. 139 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,440 God said, no, I'm going to give you a son. 140 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,480 And then still he doesn't have a son. 141 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,760 And wife says, I know what what he means. 142 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,160 Take my servant and you will have a son. 143 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:02,760 And that servant, when she bears son, there will be my son. 144 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,880 And that's what God had in mind. Where does it come from? 145 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,040 From the flesh, not from the Spirit of God. 146 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,520 And Sara started the problem and even today we have big problem 147 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:22,320 because of that. So suppose your friend of 148 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,840 Abraham, you met him when he was 87. 149 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,720 Let us say let us go little back 84 when he was 8485. 150 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,160 Hey, did you say God told you you are going to have a son? 151 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,480 Yeah, 10 years are over. What are you talking about? 152 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,360 Why does it take 10 years for God to give you a son after 86? 153 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,520 He has one son through Hega and then he loves him so much for 154 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,440 nearly so many years. And then again God comes on the 155 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,520 scene when he was 99. I am going to bless you. 156 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,920 Don't talk about it, Sir. He was a said. 157 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,080 He was a said to God. God, please don't talk about it. 158 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,080 I waited for so long, 24 years. What are you talking about? 159 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,640 And you are his friend. You would have gone to Abraham 160 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,680 and said you I doubt whether you are really following God. 161 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:19,640 Who is your God 24 years, you don't have a son. 162 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,080 I tell you, this is the nature of a promise. 163 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,880 Is this that you must have patience to possess the promise? 164 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,640 Say I need to have patience, to possess the promise. 165 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,480 I'm telling you, my friends, this is my experience. 166 00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:45,680 I have gone through it and we have started Omega. 167 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,240 Not because I want to start a church. 168 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,080 You ask my wife, you ask my people. 169 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,720 I even don't buy a magazine because I don't want to waste my 170 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,840 money. I'm that kind of a guy. 171 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,520 Once I make a decision, I never do it. 172 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,960 I said I won't write a book. I don't want to start an 173 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,200 organization, don't want to start a church. 174 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,880 But why do we start a church? Because of what? 175 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,360 A promise? In the year 2000, He gave me a 176 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,800 vision, but I did not start a church immediately. 177 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,360 God spoke, Let's start a church. That's not my way of doing 178 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,040 things. We take our hands off. 179 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,840 When God promises, He fulfills. He makes it happen not because 180 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,960 you want to do it. He wants to do it. 181 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,880 He will do it. That's what he did. 182 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,920 After 20 years, 2020, we have Omega. 183 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,400 Omega, you know I am. I am telling you the few things 184 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040 just to get the inside of who where you belong to. 185 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,120 You belong to Omega. You must say thank you God for 186 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,760 making me part of Omega. Why we don't do things here on 187 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,320 my own decision. God is the leader. 188 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,800 He is the one who guides, including the name. 189 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,640 I did not decide upon it. I was just praying. 190 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,000 And one day he says many people have not many churches, but this 191 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,360 one will be called last one. To understand if it took us long 192 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,760 time, but then when we the time came, we said, OK, let's call it 193 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,880 Omega. Let's call it Omega. 194 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,800 He is the last one. Jesus is the last one. 195 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,440 So this is the place where you belong to. 196 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,760 I want you to know this is where you belong to. 197 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,840 And the promise is God's promise and we will possess it. 198 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,320 We will see the revival in the city through Omega. 199 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,920 Why? It is His promise, not my word, 200 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,960 is not my imagination. It is His promise. 201 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,720 If it was valid for Abraham to wait for 25 years to get a son, 202 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,760 we will wait if it takes 25 years to see the revival. 203 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,720 But we are based on our life is based on the promise, not a 204 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:57,800 guess work. So, you know, individualize, We 205 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,360 can have promises from God. Hang on, hang on, hang on. 206 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,920 Why? If it is God, it will come to 207 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,080 pass. If it is God, it will come to 208 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,920 pass. I was thinking about this word 209 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,080 promise. I said I don't know why I 210 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,400 hovered on that word and studied more. 211 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,000 And the more I said, I said it is rooted in the nature of God, 212 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,200 is rooted in the character of God. 213 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,840 And that will not fail. And you, if you had seen me 214 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,440 yesterday when I was thinking those things, and if you had 215 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,800 touched me, I would have been like become like a stone. 216 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,240 Why that was making me strong. When you think the thoughts of 217 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,000 God, you will not be the same. You will be changed because you 218 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,560 are thinking the thoughts of God. 219 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,320 OK to now he takes this common figure. 220 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,840 Ishmael is rejected and he was sent away along with the mother. 221 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,560 So the basic problem that we need to understand here is the 222 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:04,280 keyword key thought do that helps us to understand this 223 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:11,840 passage is a son's position is determined by the status of the 224 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,520 mother. The mother was a slave, son is a 225 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,720 slave and the mother is free. The son is free. 226 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,600 Am I communicating because Hagar was a slave? 227 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,200 Ishmael cannot be a free son, cannot be a free son. 228 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,840 Abraham loved him, not one day, not one year, almost 1415 years. 229 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,640 And then God says throw him out. How painful that would be. 230 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,600 There comes a time we have to let go the most dear things, but 231 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,080 the decision is not ours. We have to let God decide. 232 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,280 If God says get rid of the woman, slave woman, you get rid 233 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,400 of the slave woman and her son. So now you take that example of 234 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,880 something that is negative and Paul says the whole nation of 235 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,120 Israel are thinking they are the children of Abraham, children of 236 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,040 Abraham and Sarah. And he is now telling them, hey 237 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,200 guys, you think you are the children of Abraham and Sarah? 238 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,880 No, no, no, you belong to Hagar and this Jerusalem belongs to 239 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,240 Hagar. The present existing Jerusalem 240 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,040 is Hagar. Why is he saying that? 241 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:38,000 When you are a son of promise, the promise is fulfilled by the 242 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,680 power of the Holy Spirit, who fulfills the promise is the Holy 243 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,840 Spirit. Power of the Holy Spirit 244 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,320 fulfills the promise. And here is son Isaac born to 245 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,320 Sarah by promise, by the power of the Holy Spirit. 246 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,680 And he says to the Christians, you are those people who belong 247 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:06,560 to Sarah. Hallelujah, we are say we are 248 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,600 children of Sarah or children of Abraham through Sarah, children 249 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,560 of promise basically, and we are free. 250 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,240 It simply means we are free. We are not like Ishmael who is 251 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,680 in a slave in slavery. We are Born Free into this. 252 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,200 This is really good, good stuff, but we do not have the freedom 253 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,160 to allegorize as we like. But if the apostle has done it 254 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,840 because he had revelation to talk about it, I will tell you 255 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,000 something. I will tell you about it. 256 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,960 How much powerful is what Paul did? 257 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,240 It is two things. It is two things. 258 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,360 Imagine, imagine the Old Testament Tabernacle or think of 259 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,480 the temple built by Solomon. You got the three compartments, 260 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,560 outer court, inner holy place, most holy place. 261 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,640 It is like just tearing that wail and letting you see the ark 262 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,240 of God. It is something that's not going 263 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,240 to happen at all. And what Paul is doing is he is 264 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,079 doing so violently, staying off the wail and making you to see 265 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:32,000 into the Holy of Holies, to get a glimpse of the holiness of 266 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,400 God, to get a glimpse of the glory of God. 267 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,720 Gospel is the glory of God. You cannot believe in the gospel 268 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,920 and not partake in the glory of God because it is the power of 269 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:53,620 God. It is in the Old Testament you 270 00:17:53,620 --> 00:17:58,220 had high priest wearing a E4, EPHOD E4. 271 00:17:59,020 --> 00:18:01,020 If my pronunciation is wrong, pardon me. 272 00:18:01,420 --> 00:18:04,780 So what is the E4? He had something on which you 273 00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:08,840 had 12 Stones, 33334 rows of three, I think. 274 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,120 Whatever, Numbers 1212, Yeah, 12 anyway. 275 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,520 But when he wants to find out the mind of God, he wants to 276 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,720 check out the will of God. He will use the effort to find 277 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,760 out whether it is God's will or not in some matter. 278 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,680 For example, during the time of Solomon, when they wanted to 279 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,440 check out some of the priests, whether they really belong to 280 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,000 the priestly line or not. I think after Solomon's time, 281 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,760 and they were waiting for a priest who knows how to use that 282 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,880 effort, because not everybody knew. 283 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,360 It's the privilege of the priest. 284 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,840 But how does it happen? He wears the effort. 285 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,240 What is he trying to do? He is bearing the 12 tribes, 286 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,960 names of the 12 tribes on his heart before God with his 287 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,000 ministering. I tell you, this is how a pastor 288 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,040 should be. A pastor should carry the church 289 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,880 on his heart before God. And when matters are coming 290 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,960 before God and you are waiting there in the presence of God, 291 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,200 ask a question, is this happening? 292 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:15,400 Is this right or wrong? And the effort will shine with a 293 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,200 brilliant light. And then the then he knows it is 294 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,640 yes and is a they had they are actually Orim and Tamim as well. 295 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,000 And one shines is yes, one shines. 296 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,960 It is no something like that. What Paul was doing here is he 297 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:37,920 is shining the light on that effort, which is lifeless and 298 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,200 is, you know, this things if it is difficult, don't worry, you 299 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,800 just keep it aside. What I'm teaching sometimes, you 300 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,360 know, some, some people have told me already that I sometimes 301 00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:51,520 speak at a graduate level or postgraduate level. 302 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,360 So it's something like that. So don't worry, but stray in 303 00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:55,560 your mind to understand these things. 304 00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,120 This is the privilege of children of God to grow into the 305 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:03,040 knowledge of God, to understand the deep things of God. 306 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,440 This is a call for each Christian. 307 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,840 And we can improve our capacity to understand the spiritual 308 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,280 things by thinking about it, meditating upon meditating upon 309 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,360 it and pursuing it. We can grow into it. 310 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,280 And here is a glimpse into the Holy of Holies. 311 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,160 Here is a glimpse into the heart of God is a glimpse into the 312 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,960 character of God you are. Born Free. 313 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,360 You are Born Free. If that sinks into your whole 314 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:33,000 heart, job is done. That's all we need to know. 315 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,960 You are Born Free. So he took this. 316 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,360 These things we were taken figuratively for the women 317 00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:41,760 represent 2 covenants. 1 covenant is from Mount Sinai and 318 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,840 best children who are to be slaves. 319 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,160 This is Hagar. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai 320 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,720 in Arabia and corresponds with the present city of Jerusalem. 321 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,600 This is just that one sentence we need to understand is he is 322 00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,520 changing the meaning of what is, what is held, what is understood 323 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,600 by common masses. He is saying, guys, you don't 324 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,400 understand it. You have to understand 325 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,880 differently. You are thinking you are free, 326 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,320 but you are not because the Jerusalem at that time when Paul 327 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,400 was writing was under the power of Roman rule, it was not free. 328 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,560 So he was saying it is like present Jerusalem, you are not 329 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,360 free. You are not free, but if you are 330 00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:27,120 a if you are a believer, when you believe in Jesus Christ, you 331 00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:30,480 are of the Sarah and you are Born Free. 332 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,080 Amazing. So he goes forward again, and he 333 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:40,280 quotes from Isaiah 54 verse one be glad or bear a woman who 334 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,040 bears no children. Break forth and cry aloud. 335 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,200 You have no labor pains because more of the children of the 336 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,080 desolate woman than of her who has a husband. 337 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,800 It is again difficult to understand. 338 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,880 It is again difficult to understand why it is difficult 339 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,280 to understand Isaiah when he was talking about it. 340 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,200 He is talking about be glad of barren woman who is a barren 341 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,960 woman. The Israel in captivity is 342 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,560 compared to barren woman. Israel in captivity is compared 343 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:23,280 to a barren woman because comparing it to the status of 344 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,080 Sarah before she had a child, she was barren. 345 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,080 So longing for a child she has grown old. 346 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,120 No power to conceive and no power to deliver. 347 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,000 It is 90 plus years. It is impossible for a woman to 348 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,520 bear and deliver a child at that age. 349 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,200 But what he is saying is OK, you are like this barren woman who 350 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,680 bears no children. Break forth and cry aloud. 351 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,440 You who have no labor pains, you have not gone through it. 352 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,080 I don't think he means C-section because more of the children are 353 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,640 the desolate woman than of her who has a husband. 354 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,920 So who is this the one who has husband? 355 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,560 Hagar, because she had a child through the natural means. 356 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:12,840 But Sarah has delivered a son by promise. 357 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,800 So what he's saying is you, you are going to have more children 358 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,680 than the one who are husband. Now think, look at the world 359 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,920 today. How many Christians are there in 360 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,000 the world? How many Christians believers 361 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,920 are there in the world? They all belong to Sarah because 362 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,000 your children will be more than the one who had husband. 363 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,680 That is who belong to the old covenant, who belong to the, I 364 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,920 mean the Jewish people, handful of people today only few 365 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,200 millions, but you have got hundreds of millions of 366 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,440 believers all over the world and that is the fulfillment of 367 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:54,440 Isaac. 54 verse one. Now you brothers like Isaac are 368 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,760 children of promise. What a powerful words they are. 369 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:07,000 You are like Isaac, a child of promise. 370 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,640 No one chooses to be saved by himself. 371 00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:15,400 It's God who chooses you. He looks at you and He has 372 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,040 determined to save you before the foundation of the world. 373 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,440 He set His love upon you and saves you. 374 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,960 I tell you, this is mystery. It's amazing to me. 375 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,440 When I look into my whole life, it's amazing to me. 376 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,560 I have so many relatives, hundreds of them, but I am not 377 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,560 in touch with anyone because they don't like to connect with 378 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,400 me because I'm a Christian. Basically, they don't like me. 379 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,720 They don't visit us, we don't visit them. 380 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,720 It's very simple. When you believe in Christ, 381 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,320 something happens to you and that sometimes turns you against 382 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,600 other people as well. I'll tell you one story about a 383 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:59,280 soldier who was ferocious, a fighter, and anybody picks a 384 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,000 quarrel with him that will he will beat him till they are 385 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,840 dead. So he had such a reputation, but 386 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:11,040 one day he wandered into the Chapel where the preacher was 387 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,520 preaching the gospel and this man got converted. 388 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,560 He believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. 389 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,120 He said, Lord, I'm so sorry, I make you my Lord, come into my 390 00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:22,040 heart. Then after a couple of months, 391 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,840 he was having food in a mess. When he was sitting at the table 392 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,560 eating food, there were people who were afraid of him before to 393 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,880 fight him because they knew he was powerful. 394 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,200 He will beat them to death. They were afraid of him. 395 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,080 But after these two months, one of them says, I will check it 396 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,360 out whether he has become really a Christian or not. 397 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,280 So he took the hot soup bang he throws on his chest. 398 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,520 So the hot soup lands on his chest. 399 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,600 It burned him. And then what did he do? 400 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:54,880 He got up, tore his upper garment and wiped off his chest 401 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,920 and then looked at the people, bunch of people who were trying 402 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,160 to cause trouble. This is what I am called. 403 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,720 This is what happens when I when I become a Christian. 404 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,320 This is what happens to a Christian, and I'm happy about 405 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,040 it. And they were stunned to see the 406 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,240 transformation. He was like a lion before, and 407 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,520 they thought when he threw the soup, the lion is going to rise 408 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,440 up from inside, but he was like a lamb. 409 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,800 The gospel brings transformation, and that's very 410 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,040 powerful transformation. And we are the children of 411 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,520 promise. We ought to be like the lamb, 412 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,760 not like the lion that is not dead. 413 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,280 So here the children promised at that time, the son born in the 414 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,400 ordinary way persecuted, the son born by the power of the spirit. 415 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:54,040 But there's also a tussle going on the the Son of a slave is 416 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,520 persecuting son born by the Spirit by promise. 417 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,320 And this thought carries on into his writing. 418 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:07,560 In chapter 5, he talks about how there's a tussle going on inside 419 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,360 the heart, how the spirit lusts after the flesh and flesh lusts 420 00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:13,880 after the spirit. There is a King James language 421 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,920 and he gives you the list of things that are come out of the 422 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,240 flesh and he gives you a fruit of the Holy Spirit and gives you 423 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,400 a list. And he expands his idea further 424 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,760 in the next chapter. We will wait for it at that 425 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,600 time, but this is just a glimpse. 426 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,560 So there should be a place and time when we should get rid of 427 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:41,120 the slave woman and her son. The key is very, very simple. 428 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,640 Listening to the voice of God is the key. 429 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,240 Listening to the voice of God is the key. 430 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:50,520 Whatever God said to Abraham, he just did it. 431 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,480 God says offer your son as a sacrifice to me, Isaac, He did 432 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,400 not say, let me go and talk to Sarah. 433 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,160 God told me to kill our son. Offer him as a sacrifice. 434 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,000 What you would have said you're out of your mind. 435 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,160 I thought you are a great man, my great husband, but today you 436 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,720 are a mad guy. Why will God tell you to 437 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,840 sacrifice him? And he himself has given you the 438 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,200 son. I do not think Abraham must have 439 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,160 considered her. You are just took the fire, pot 440 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:28,040 of fire and some wood and few servants set on told the son let 441 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,280 us go and offer the sacrifice and he says, oh you have got the 442 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,640 fire, we had the wood, where is the Lamb? 443 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,000 God will provide. See that is a mark of a man who 444 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,160 he has got. There is a mark of a man who he 445 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,960 has got. I wish we all are men and women 446 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,360 who hear the voice of God and obey him, because that is the 447 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,040 only time you will see revival. We ask, We want revival. 448 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,680 So many times these days I am hearing this question, why is 449 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,320 Omega not growing? Why will it grow when we are not 450 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,960 serious about it? Everyone must be serious about 451 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,040 it. Pray about it. 452 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,840 Agonize. God, I'm going to this place. 453 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,640 I want to see your glory manifested. 454 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,360 I want this gospel to impact the city. 455 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,080 I just don't want to warm the chair for 30-40 minutes and come 456 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,480 home. No, I want to know you. 457 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,120 I want to know the power of resurrection. 458 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,480 I want to know the power of the Holy Spirit in my life. 459 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,360 If there is that kind of a hunger in you, this church will 460 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,640 multiply. It's not one, one person. 461 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,320 It doesn't depend on one person. And we have not grown to that 462 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,080 stage where we can pray and hear God and be guided by him, be 463 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:50,440 directed by him. If you know, there's a man 464 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,160 called, I think Larry Cunningham. 465 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:58,680 Cunningham, he wrote a book. God, Is it really you? 466 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,480 If you can find it in the second hand book stall, find it and 467 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,920 read that book. They make decisions because they 468 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,240 hear from the Holy Spirit. Not one person. 469 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,520 All of them pray together, fasting and praying until they 470 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,080 hear God and they it has to be verified by at least two people. 471 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,000 There can be 100 people praying, but what one says God is saying 472 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:27,480 should be confirmed by one more. Until then they pray and then 473 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,320 they decide do it. What God says they do it. 474 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,760 I tell you, I was so impressed by that model. 475 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,920 We are nowhere nearer to practicing it. 476 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,800 Nowhere nearer anyway. That is how we should be. 477 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,680 So they were thrown out basically. 478 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,640 Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but 479 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,680 of the free woman. We are children of the free 480 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:58,200 woman, and that is he. He makes a powerful statement in 481 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,960 chapter 5 verse one and he says it is for freedom that Christ 482 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,120 has set us free. Stand form then and do not let 483 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,360 yourself be burdened again by yoke of slavery. 484 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,440 Don't go back to Jewish system, don't go back to Passover, don't 485 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,040 go back to circumcision. Don't go back to doing all 486 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,400 things in the Old Testament. God has set you free from it. 487 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,080 Don't go back. It's very simple but very 488 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,800 powerful way Paul has brought the arguments. 489 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,160 And if some of you want to catch up with what really Paul was 490 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,840 saying in this chapter, you can listen to our podcast. 491 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,800 The previous versions previous messages explain more of Paul's 492 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,800 heart. So now it's time for us to pray. 493 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,160 Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord, thank you Lord. 494 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,040 Before I close, I think I have something here. 495 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,520 This is from he talks about Hagar and Sarah and the 496 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,160 covenants. And this is again, a little bit 497 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,200 deeper truth. When I say deeper, just by 498 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,240 listening once, we may not understand it. 499 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,880 You may have to read or hear more than once. 500 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,680 So please feel free to listen to the podcast again when you go 501 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,320 home to understand what I'm reading it out here. 502 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,920 This is from Warren Wisbe, a great pastor and teacher. 503 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,280 And he said Hagar was not married again. 504 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,520 She was thrown out, but she didn't marry again. 505 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,360 God never gave the Law to any other nation or people, 506 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,880 including His church. For the Judaizers to impose the 507 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,480 Law on the Galatians Christians was to oppose the very plan of 508 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,800 God. In Paul's day, the nation of 509 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,280 Israel was under bondage to the Law, while the church was 510 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,720 enjoying liberty under the gracious rule of the Jerusalem 511 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,800 which is above. Judas wanted to wed Mount Sinai 512 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,600 and the heavenly Mount Zion. But to do this would be to deny 513 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,400 what Jesus did on the Mount Calvary. 514 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,680 Hey, God is not to be married again. 515 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,320 Hey, God is not to be married again. 516 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,120 We don't go back and create the Old Old Testament system again. 517 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:10,560 We can try to change them. This must fall, for we cannot 518 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,920 change either the law or the old nature. 519 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,400 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and we might add, it 520 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,440 always will be flesh. God did not try to change 521 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,600 Ishmael and Hagar either by force or by education. 522 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,840 Neither can you and I change the old nature and the law. 523 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,520 We cannot change our old nature. We cannot change the law by our 524 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,640 own effort. It is a work of the Holy Spirit. 525 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,600 We badly need the work of the Holy Spirit. 526 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,400 Very deep work in our heart. I do not have much time to talk 527 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,840 about the heavenly Jerusalem, which is coming down from here, 528 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,960 from the sky, from heavens. Maybe I'll try to cover in the 529 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,840 next message, somehow fit in. So let's just bow down our heads 530 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:09,280 and pray. Father God, this morning we 531 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,040 praise you, we praise you, we praise you for your word. 532 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,120 Your word is established in heavens and Your word is 533 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,639 eternal. Your word is unchanging. 534 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,320 We thank You, Father, You are God and you are on the throne, 535 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,159 and we are humans. We are trying to do a little bit 536 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:33,239 of things that we can do, but we need your power to believe You. 537 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,360 We need your power to obey You. We need Your power to do what 538 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,320 You want us to do in the short time, to the glory of Your name. 539 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,360 So bless each one of us. Bless each one of us that we may 540 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,880 pursue with a passion, we pursue with that hunger and thirst 541 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,600 which will not bindle away with time, will keep growing with 542 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,280 time.
