Chism | Balaji

You're listening to a message to go from ext Church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

I just wanted to talk to you about the patterns

in the Bible and what is that meaning to you

and to me. You needed to understand there is always

always a place where God will allow you to go through.

Remember the last in the last week, the preacher was

telling the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He

leads me beside stillwater. He restores my should and then

the third person suddenly becomes though I walk through the

valley of shadow of death. If you see that there

is this clear division, there is three up and three down.

Does it make sense? You will see the pattern again

in our Father in Heaven, Holy be your name, your Kingdom, Come,

your will be done. On, come on, talk to me, la.

Let's start again. Our Father. Yeah, it's quiet, our Father

in heaven. Then follow us, give us. Yeah. Leaders, So

can you see again there is a pattern. It goes

up and then it goes down. If you remember the

ten Commandments, there is up right all first five is

I am the Lord that God do not make all

about five is about God? And then there is five

about people do not come here, do not do this,

do not do this. So there is always a pattern

that we will be able to find out. So the

good news that I'm going to bring you this is

if you are hit a rock bottom and your balance

is almost zero, your strength is almost null, and there

is no hope. When the doctor says this is what

you have to live with it, and when the lawyer said,

no more chance and hope to fight bad. When there

is a place where you are your career has stuck

to a place and point, the good news that I

have to bring you is it is not the end

and it is a beginning. This is what had happened

throughout the men and women of God, so for them,

so I have titled this message as chasm or chasm.

That is always a pattern. You can see there is

a what do you call this glass? How glass? There

is up, there is middle, and then there is down

and that narrow point. Maybe some of us are being there.

And the good news that I'm going to say is,

once you pass through these narrow point there is a

place of enlargement. There is a place of enlargement. We

will stick to the place of enlargement. Let's run to

the place of enlargement, not be stuck here. So I'm

going to take first two chapters of Ruth and try

to move back to the other chapters. So if you

go to the Ruth chapter one, this is the whole

of Ruth. Can you go to the next chapter, place

next light, and then we will come to this. So

if you see this, I just wanted to run with

this for your understanding. I try to be a teacher today.

So the Book of Ruth in your new King James version,

can you tell me between which two books it is present?

Go back to the index. The Book of Ruth is

between two books? What are the book? It is between

the judges and the king? Because who has to bring

the king? It's going to be the Ruth, which she

is the one to going to be. So you may

be in a place where many people ruled over you,

but let me tell you, many consequences have happened to you.

But let me tell you are in a place where

the king is going to be born and he is

going to rule the earth in peace. Makes sense, many

things have happened. So again, according to the Hebrew Bible,

it is not actually between the judges and the kings.

According to Hebrew Bible, it is between the lamentation, Songs

of Solomon and the Lamentation. This is the placement. According

to the Hebriic Bible, that means to say, song of

Solomon talks about the love covering everything is all about

the love, and the lamentation talks about the love is

not lost. And then they it is this book which

talks all about the love and the kindness. I just

wanted to run through a couple of minutes in chapter one.

I've been in chapter one and two for many many

times in this church, but I just wanted to tell

this pattern. You will see, there is a famine in

the land. There is a famine in the land. Many

of us might have found that you and I are

in a famine. This famine could be finances, this famine

could be the knowledge. This famine, you know, like Pastor

Jack and I when we are talking to each other,

because he is doing his masters and my pH D,

I reveal a secret to you. When we prayed for

each other. He asked me for the wisdom to submit

his assignment, and I ask for as wisdom and time

to submit my thesis. So that means to say, there

is not any he is a principle, that's the irony,

and there is there is something that we all there

is a famine, and sometimes we feel pastor I think

you will feel I don't know what to write, and

that's exactly I was doing when I was doing my thesis. Also,

so there may be a famine in your finances. There

may be a famine in your health. Doctor have pronounced

no more child, doctor have pronounced no more cure. Doctor

might have said anything. They may be a femine. You

might have a broken relationship. You might have your boyfriend

or girlfriend leaving, or you might have had a broken

you know, marriages, whatever it is. They may be a

barrenness and the famine in the land. And these guys

move from the Israeli to the to the moa by

which is not allowed bye bye, bye bye by the

Israelis because they say you can never ever go back

to that. Sometimes we might have had a wrong association.

Sometimes our friendship in the past could be wrong, your

ex things could could have come into your mind, so

they may be there may be a wrong choices that

you and I have made in the past. So what

happens is when they go there, there is a lot

of loss. There is a lot of death. This lady Naomi,

I hope there is no naomis here. Don't blame me

if you are in Naomi. So this Naomi has lost

her husband. This woman has lost two sons, and she

is absolutely zero. There is no chance that she could

have anything. And interesting, there is a verse which says

that I cannot have any more child. Naomi here says

I am too old to conceive. So you will see

that she leaves Maya from Bethlehem, and then Naomi will tell, hey,

you know what, both of you leave. Both of you leave,

both the daughter and loss leave to your home country.

But then one will stay the other will remind. So

the point that the Bible scholars tell, what is the

breaking point, what made her the whole thing turn around,

is she came to a point of barrenness, meaning to say,

Naomi came into a place of barrenness. Naomi came into

a place of no hope. Remember if you are if

you are a widow in the old in the olden days,

you're not valued. You don't have son and daughter to

take care of you. You are next to zero, and

there is no land because you lost everything. You've given

up everything in the previous time, so there is absolutely

no need to go back to your home country and

lo and behold. Somebody else is saying I wanted to

follow you, so she says, don't follow me. I don't

have a womb. I'm barren. I cannot bring forth the child.

But you will see that there is a reverse. There

is a reverse that you will see the famine in

the land. The end of the chapter, you will see

there is a badly harvest. Right. Can somebody read one

twenty two Ruth, chapter one, verse twenty two. Please you

read Ruth chapter one, verse one and read chapter one

and twenty two for me, please, sorry, please, And the

last worse brother twenty two. May God bless you. Your

famine is over and there will be a harvest. You

can see, you can see it right, you can see.

She leaves more Bethlehem to Moe and there is a famine,

and the last verse reverses it. She goes back from

Moye to the House of God, the bread of house,

the House of Bread to there is a reversal, and

God is best in the reversal. And may I tell you,

God is reversing you. God is renewing your strength like

an eagle. God is renewing your hope. God is renewing

everything that you have lost. Maybe you have creaated the

rock bottom zero. Trust me, God has begun the new

work in you. You will see that there is an

immigration from Bethlehem, and then you will see emigration to Bethelehem.

You will see moyev for Bethelehem and entering. The most

interesting thing that you will see here in this chapter

is the pleasant woman min Naomi. Naomi means pleasant. That

pleasant woman will call herself as a bitter woman. Is that?

Is that clear? Do you do? You know? Something very

interesting thing that the Lord has taught me is the enemy.

Do not have a creative power? Certain, do not ever

ever have a creative power. God has a creative power

because you are born in the image of God. Wait

can wright buster So, because you are born in the

image of God, you have the creative power that has

been given. So whenever we speak we are creating power.

I hope I will not fall sick. Aha. We are

giving enemy the chance to fall you sick. Rather than

that we would positively say I am healed. And healthy. No, oh,

sickness can touch me. So the creative power. So what

happens many a time? This Naomi is the one who

wanted to be called as a bitter. If you realize

so you call whatever you call yourself is what is

going to happen in your life. There is an interesting

chapter in Genesis, chapter twenty eight and chapter thirty two.

You will recognize that we are not going to go

over there. In chapter thirty two of Genesis, this guy Jacob,

I like him the most. He is the best exact

detO of me. He is a cheater. He cheats his father,

he cheats his brother. He runs away from the problem.

He do not want it to see anyone. Gita, you're laughing.

You're also like Jacob. Never mind, it's okay. So what

happens is when this guy runs over he is getting

cheated by his father in law, he is getting cheated

by his own wife. And then he comes back and

there is a place where he will have to wrestle

with the Angel of the Lord, which we feel this

is God. And when he was wrestling with the Angel no,

he will say, don't go without blessing me. And the

Angel of the Lord will ask him he will not

bless The Angel of the Lord is asking him, what

is your name? Seriously? Man, seriously, I just hold my caller.

It's okay. My daughters will just whack you. I have

three mind you, okay, so hold. So imagine if I'm

holding like this and I am saying bless me. Indeed,

what should he say is I will bless you or

I will not bless you. But the angel is asking

what is your name? Seriously? Did you hear what I

said bless me? But then the Angel of the Lord Allah,

he held my jacket. Okay, So the Angel of the

Lord is saying, you know, what is your problem? My problem?

Your problem is not that I want to bless you.

Your problem is what is your name. I am a supplanter,

I am a cheater, I am a pauper. So the

revelation that the Angel of the Lord has given is

your name is no more going to be Jacob. Your

name is no more a supplanter. Your name is no

more a cheater, your name is no more a runner away.

So from today you will be called as Israel, the

one who is prevailed against God. And man, you get

what the Angel of the Lord is holding on to say, Hey,

that is your problem. Your problem is what you say

about yourself. What you say about yourself determine what the

enemy can use against or not against. I am wonderfully

and beautifully made. My name is carved in the hand

of the Lord. I am in the image of God.

You know that's what. And the enemy will attack it

the worst. The enemy want to attack your image. Your

image is made by God. Remember this, Your image is

called out by God. Imagine if there is not one

fish which has a belly and which does not have

a tooth, Jonah would have been chewed. You know that

that belly is the one that saved him. Probably many

people whould have teased him saying why why why shark?

Or why fish? You have a big tummy. That fish

is what we are talking about. Imagine that that shark

had a lot of teeth like you and me. Maybe

Jonah would have come out with the scratches. God has

made the teeth to be, to be, to be there,

not there, because Jonah could be said, Remember, you are

perfect in the image of God, and God has a

plan and purpose. But Satan would hit you at the worst. Oh,

you are not like pastor Jack oh, you are not

like Andrew. You does not you? My hair is not.

So the spring hair becomes the long hair. The long

hair becomes the spring hair. They will be foundation, they

will be base powdered, they will be red powder, they

will be pink powder. Come on, you are in the

image of God. I'm not talking about people in our church. Okay.

So what happens is there is a pattern that God wants.

So Naomi says, can you see there is a famine

in the land, there is a barley harvest, there is

immigration from Bethlehem to Mayer, and then there is a

movement from Mayer to Bethlehem. So you will see a pattern.

And this is going to be the private point that

means to say. She says, I am too old to

get a child. Do you know what it does mean

to the Lord? The Lord says, Aha, you said it

is not possible. Do you think only way to get

your child is barrying a child? But let me give

you a blessing, not one child, but the kings will

come out of your own To those who have been

praying for a child, to those who have been praying

for an extra child, to those who are asking for

something more than that, Let me prophesy your child woomb

will bring forth not a child but the king and

the kings makes sense, I mean, go to the previous slights. Please.

The whole book of Ruth is in this in this

in this pattern. The whole book of Ruth is in

this pattern. You will see in the Book of Ruth.

Can somebody help me to read Genesis chapter one? I

mean one, I think brother has read there is a

famine in the land, right and there is ten years?

You will read it. Can you see in your Bible

that there is in Genesis chapter one there is a

famine for ten years? There is a famine four ten years?

Can am I right? Just check out your Bible? Sorry

book okay, Book of Ruth chapter one. Can you see

that there is famine for ten years? Is there between one? Two? Six? Yes,

no famine? How many years? This is a good Bible, Stadia.

How many years? Ten years? Am I right? About ten years?

If you read about Ruth chapter four, verse eighteen to

twenty two, there will be ten generation that will be listed.

Let's do the reading accounting whether it is right or not? One, two, three, four?

Is there is there ten generations of birth mentioned between

Ruth chapter four eighteen to twenty two. Yes, can you

see a pattern exactly? It will be a replica of it. Remember,

Naomi is too old to conceive. We saw in chapter one.

Can you read four seventeen Ruth chapter four verse seventeen

Ruth Chapter four, ver seventeen. Somebody will prophesy to them

Ruth Chapter four was seventeen. Yeah, can you see the

woman who said that I cannot conceive the family? The

generation will say, A son is born to you? Isn't

it like it's It's not the end? Your end is

the beginning of God. Your health failing is the beginning

of God's healing. Your son's or daughter's sickness is the

beginning of God's glory in his life or her life.

You will see that possible if you see. The whole

of book of Ruth is in this pattern. But the

breaking point that you will need to do is the

plan is laid by Naomi and have been given to Ruth.

Is that right or not? Here comes You need a

discipler called as Naomi, and you need to be a

disciple like Ruth. You may think that you can do everything,

but they should be a Naomi. May i bless you.

May I prophesy over you. May I shout out cloud

in her life. May you find that Naomi who will

lead you not only into your promised land, but they

will be an abundance of provision in this season. May

you find that person who will tell you I am

going not only remember this guy. Boys. Boyas is an

interesting character. You know what Boyas tells Ruth. He says,

you stay here in this land. You work in this land.

I think in the last time when I preached, I

was preaching in this He said, don't go anywhere. You

stay in this land. You work in this land. I

have told my people that they should not harm you.

And he turns around and tells his servant leave extra.

You know what in that few words, very simple words,

what Boyas is telling. Boyas is telling you know what, Ruth,

I'm going to give you product. I am going to

give you providence. But that protection and providence is not

anywhere else. God has placed you and me in this country.

God has placed you and me in this situation. God

has placed you and me in this church. And God

wants us to work in this land because it is

in this land, in that homes, in that church in

that pastor. That is where your provision is coming from.

That is where your providence is coming from, and that

is where the protection is coming from. The minute we

jump from one place to another place, Satan can attack you.

It is a tree that is rooted by the riverside

that brings forth the fruit, not the tree that is

shifting here. And they, may I bless you that you

will be rooted in the Word of God, rooted in

the House of God, rooted for the world. And when

the man and the Woman of God asks you to serve,

we will serve joyfully because there is providence and there

is a protection. If you are a foreigner like me,

and if you are someone who feels very insecure, may

I tell you, as long as I am rooted in

the Word of God and in the House of God,

I have the providence and I have the protection because

the gates of Hades cannot prevail against the church. Is

that making sense right? So are you in that private

point which says, hey, I'm almost barren? Aha, there is

a blessing that is coming. If you are going to

be saying, are you in a place where my health

has almost or failed me? This is where your blessing

is coming from So the whole book of Ruth by

itself is in this child, in this mood, there is

a replica. Can you see a pattern that God has

been giving? Is there a place if you are in

that place where you are and the shortest neck of

the Howard glass, Your enlargement is coming, Your blessing is coming,

Your own generation is coming, your own famine is getting over.

There is plenty and just for those who are Bible. Uh.

When you hunt Bible west, you will see, like Naomi

will enter into the promised land during the barley harvest.

Barley is something of cheaper one. Sometimes they say it

is given to the animals. And he will meet Naomi,

will meet Ruth, and things will happen during the Harvard season.

Of that means they are going from so from from

barley to a rise. That means do not stop, to

not stop. So what did the minute you accepted Lord

Jesus Christ as a Lord and savior. There is a providence.

Of course, there is going to be a challenge. It's

not going to be the blood of roses. And there

is a protection that has been given. But that is

not important. When we are talk in the Kingdom of God.

What is important in the Kingdom of God is what

had the Lord told me as the last commandment. Go

He preached a gospel, making disciples in all nations, baptizing

them in the name of the Father and of the

Son and of the Holy Spirit. That means to say,

God is not satisfied only with Jack. God is satisfied

with Jack through Jack. There are many many generations that

has to come. So not only do understand this principle,

you are in this difficult situation. You are not in

a place where you feel comfortable. There is a challenging

period because God is not interested, not too only to

provide for you. God is not only interested to give

you protection. God wants a posterity through you. Is that okay?

There is something that he wants to work in your life,

that in your life I am working through that through

your life we will be working. I repeat it, in

your life, I am working, But through your life we

are working to bless someone else. He does not want

to bless you with the providence because I mean boya says,

stay in this land, and he tell the workers leave

something extra so that she can take back home. But

the most important thing that Naomi. I mean, Boyas is

telling is, hey, let me see if you're satisfied only

with the providence. Let me see if you are satisfied

only with the protection. Because Boyas may have known you

also needed to understand this concept. When Boyas says, can

you go back to your book? And I just wanted

to know did the first time did Boyas see Ruth?

Or Ruth see Boyas? Who's go back to your bible?

I told you today we are in a teaching mode.

Ruth saw boys or boys saw Ruth? Boys saw Ruth?

And do you think Ruth is in a pretty dress

like you guys are? She was doing what she was gleaning.

And I'm sure if the hair is like Delise, there

will be some barley thing stuck into their am I right?

Do you think the Delise, I'm your brother, Delise? Okay,

imagine she's not and it is a sunny day, correct

or not? It is windy? Do you think her hair

is nicely straightened? Or hair is all missy? And do

you think she is nicely with a diodrent and fragrance?

Come on, it's a fact, man, the reality? How is she?

How will she be sweaty? Dirty, all a rose, powder,

pink powder, foundation, powder is all gone. But then that

is where the Ruth was seen by boys. God has

not seen you at the best here. God sees that.

But God sees at the place where you are sweaty

and tired. Say, God, I can't work anymore? What else

should I do to increase the salary? What else should

I do to increase my family? If you see that

yourself a mess in a sweaty place, and if you

are in a place where you are dirty and there

is nothing but just to go behind some men, you

feel that you have been in a place where I

have to lean on somebody for their mercy. You know

what God is telling? That is the place God will

see you like the way boys saw Ruth and Naomi Ruth. Right, okay,

you're following me, God bless you. So there is a

path that we may need it to understand. The minute

you say I have everything, you lost God. And when

you say I have nothing, you have God with everything?

Is that is that is that making sense to you?

Am I speaking to your life? So there is a

place where we can't open file. Thank you so much.

Never mind, So when God sees us, he does not

see you at the brikest victory, but he has seen

you at the biggest brokenness, because it is in the

broken vessel that he can eliminate. His life in him

was a life in life. In him was the Word,

and the Word was the life. The minute you feel God,

I have nothing, I'm going to turn to the Word

of God. The word of God will bring forth life

and the life in abundance. That is the place, you know,

like if doctor could say, like, okay, Elijah, you came here,

then there is one oh appendecds, It's okay, take some

Sorry you're not having appandices only I'll say take this,

go drink some tender coconut. You're okay. Ok Now, she

may not have appreciated for the wisdom of God for Andrew.

Andrew will not appreciate the office. Andrew will not You know,

what God is doing. God is not only satisfied in

healing somebody. God is talking about glorifying him through the

God and through the Word of God. So this is

the place where we are talking about and here comes

the second part of next Okay, interesting, I just wanted

to go through this. Also in chapter two you will

again see Naomi house. Naomi's house is entering into the

badley harvest. Remember I told you badly is given to

some animals, But then we will be having the wheat

hovest in Chapter two, verse twenty three. Can somebody quickly

see whether I am right or not? Chapter two, verse

one and two, vers. Twenty three Is that right? Barley

is one season now and then wheat is another season?

Is that right or not? They say badley is given

to inferior, it is for the animal, and then the

wheat is for the people. Is that right? Verse one,

verse twenty two, Yes, not a WhatsApp? Verse twenty two

says what is it? A wheat? Our west? Twenty three

it says wheat howst So you will say the conversation

between Ruth and Naomi, But then the conversation will turn

between Ruth and Naomi in expressive. So the most important

thing that you may need to understand isody read Chapter

two is one two and three. Please, it's a blessing

that is waiting for Chapter two, verse one two and three. Yes,

a relative of her husbands a worthy man, and you

have a worthy man. You have a worthy kinsman, redeemer.

His name is Jesus. He is rich, he is willing,

he wants to bless you. Right, please past up right.

So yeah, and the.

Mobile said to Naomi, let me go to the field

and glean among the years of great after him, in

whose sight I shall find.

May you be filled with favor this season to come.

You know what is favor. Favor will make you to

be placed in the right place at the right time,

to meet the right people. That his face shall shine

upon you.

Right.

May you be in a situation where you will find

favor fast.

So she sat and she happened.

Oh, she happened. Come on, May this season be a

season of happening to you. May you be in the

season of happen to meet the right person? To those

who are not married, happen to meet ya. We needed

to clarify. Oh I see him married, No cannot. May

you find the right person if you're not married. May

you may it happen that you find the right lecturer

who teaches you correctly. May you find a right headsha

person who hires you. May you find a right job

that gives you a blessing. May you find the right

partner who will marry you. May you find the right

doctor who will say you are conceived and you are blessed.

May you find the right bank that will give you

more interest. May you find the right child who will

listen and obey. May you find the right place that

it happened. Let this be a season of happening. Yeah past,

when I say we meet the men and women, that's

where the girls and the boys were happy. Okay, right past,

Please so it happened. Continue pasta happened. So season of

happening is here.

Okay, to come to the part of the field belonging

to pos.

Right, so you have a clan, and that clan is

Jesus clan. You are blessed. This season is where there

is not a badly enough, of badly enough, of enough.

But this season is be the season of more than enough.

May this season of badly be wover? May this season

be the season of a wheat? Howist is that? Is that?

Okay with you? Right? Should I continue? I am I

making some sense to you? Right, Let's go to the

next part of the story. So, now that we have

seen the I leave it to you. Try and go.

There is a pattern that you will see throughout the

book of Ruth. They will be a pattern that you

will see the book of Book of Psalms, the book

everything there is a pattern and you will see. Right. So,

my responsibility as a teacher of the Word of God,

I said today I'm not a preacher teacher of the

Word of God, is to trigger your passion. Maybe you

should find there is a pattern that you will see.

So as I mentioned to you, I'm going to go

to the next part of this pattern. And this season,

as remember I told you, this is a season where

where the new year is beginning twenty thirds of September

for the Israelites and Jews, and then there is a

year end and there is a beginning. Let this year

end with the blessing, and let next year come out

with much more blessing because there is no not so blessing,

because you will have life and life in abundance. The

path of the righteous man shall become brighter and brighter.

There is no lighter and brighter. No, there is a

brighter and brighter. So this is a season. And if

you know some of the history, so what they meditate

between the last day of this month and the beginning

of the next month. They are going to meditate on

Genesis chapter twenty one where Isaac was born. And on

the next day, the New Year day, they will be

meditating on Genesis chapter twenty two. So Genesis chapter twenty

one will talk about the birth of Isaac, will talk

about the birth of the blessing that they have been

waiting for. Sarah will say that I have conceived right.

So you will see in Genesis chapter twenty one. Sarah,

who has been a baron for so many years, about

ninety ninety or ninety nine, how many years she was barren?

She got the promise at seventy years and the child

was born ninety rudn't help me here ninety or ninety

nine ninety, So for that twenty years there is a promise,

but it is not seen. There is a promise that

it is not see. So for Sarah, probably whenever she

goes for a wedding ceremony, whenever somebody calls her for

a baby shover, I think that is going to be

very so poign for her. Is that right? Many of

us may feel that we have had a promise, but

we could not have borne. And the reason that God

allows you to die is so that he will live.

The reason that He allows you to die is that

he will live. So what happens is there is Isaac,

which means laughter. The laughter is born out of barrenness.

Is is that okay? There is a laughter that will

come out of your brokenness. There is a laughter that

will come out of your weakness. There is a laughter

that will come out of your sickness. That there is

a laughter that will come out of your bank balance zero.

There is a laughter that was waiting, so that your

end is his beginning. Is that okay? Right? So you

will see when Isaac, which is a representative of the

spirit man bond, the flesh will start mocking. But the

most interesting factor that they will say is in Genesis

chapter twenty one, verse ten to twelve. They say, the

Bible scholars say, cast out the bond woman. This is

the fight that you will see throughout the Bible. There

is a problem between the flesh and the spirit. Remember

that verse which says, for we shall not wrestle against

the flesh and the blood, but against the principalities and

the power. If you are a good Bible student, you

will see the whole Book of Romans will be differentiating

between the law of the law and the law of

the grace. You will see there is always Therefore, chapter

one to seven will be talking about what is in,

how is sin? What does the sin do? How we

are separated from the Word of God. But chapter eight

will start with this interesting phrase, Therefore, there is no

condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Is that

is that? Okay, that's it's done. May I tell you

therefore there is no condemnation in your life. There is

no wrong mistake in your life. There is nothing that

you needed to struggle because God has changed. So Ishmael

is cast out you you you go and read here.

You will go and read here. So Ishmael, who is

in a place of mocking, will be casted out, and

he will be thirsty without water and will be weeping.

You know what, God will repay a word for word.

When you give a man of God a cup of

water in the name of the prophet, that's a hint

to give me water. When you give a man of

God a cup of water, that means you will receive

the blessings of the prophet. That's what the Word of

God says. So the minute the man of God says, hey, Andrew,

can you carry this chair and put it behind or

do you know who I am? I am the accountant.

Do you know who I am? I am the husband

of a CP. No, when you bring and leave the

chair behind me, someone will bring a chat and ask

you to sit. That's what God does because you are

a blessing. So God hears and provides water. So even

to Ishmail, God is kind. So the place that we

have been talking about is where you have come to

a place. Remember, at that point of time, Abraham is

in a fix. Man I shouldn't have listened to my

wife and married this woman. He might have said, Man,

I wish because his love for Ishmael is still there

because still it is his son. Maybe not Sarah's son,

but it is his son. Many of us may be

in a place where we have entangled in something which

is not right, and God is in a place to

say you needed to untangle, you needed to get out

of it, and God will bring us to a place.

Do you know, like I just wanted to spend one

or two minutes in this. You know, this Ishmael in

your life is your past. It could be your past.

You know, like God will be saying, ay, do not

talk about the past. Forgive him, but you will still

bring out in your anger. Do not say things that

are supposed not to be said. But he provoked me,

She provoked me. Do not go to the place you

know the enemy will bring down your Ishmael, the flesh

in you, so that you will react that you will

not be a blessing. This is a place where you

and I needed to meet that Ishmael and say, yes,

I have given birth to you. Yes, I have given

to the bitterness. Yes, I have be given birth to

the lost. Yes I have given birth to this relationship.

Yes I have done this. But I am letting you go.

I am letting you move away from this. May this

place be a place of blessing and that will lead

to the next chapter of Genesis twenty two. You might

have I might have thought, Okay, Ishmael is the flesh.

Ishmael is not the promised child. But then the Lord

will ask Isaac to be commanded to be blessed. Hey,

this is unfair, flesh. I made a mistake. It's okay,

I give it. Why should I give up the Isaac

which is a blessing to me? Correct or not? You

and I may be in a rightful place to say yes,

I will fight for my right. No, there is no

right in front of God. Remember what is the most

challenging pace in the life of Jesus Christ. The most

challenging pace in the life of Jesus Christ is not

my will, but your will be done. Are you in

a place to do that? Not my will God, but

your will be done? Can we repeat it?

Not?

Now that's not enough. Let's go one more time. It's

in the garden of Getsumini. Do you realize when Isaac

was taken back, when Isaac was when Isaac was was

taken back with with Abraham and it is about three

days journey. Do you know the pain and the challenge

that Abraham would have had. Hey, this is my promised child.

How could this be? And when he was taken back

and Isaac, I think Bible says somewhere between seventy to

forty years is him? He's not the three year old

baby in the manger you put him and qua Qua crying.

That is all only for the story and for the

Bible reading. No, but originally they say he is between

somewhere from seventeen to thirty or forty years old. So

Isaac grows that there is and he says a promise.

Interesting that there is knife, there is fire, and where

is the lamb? And the Father makes a prophetic statement,

the Lord himself will provide for himself. Jehovah Chirah my provider,

he is your provider. I just wanted to run my

thought wildly. Maybe it is that ram. You remember the

ram was caught in the ticket. Do you think that

fell down from the heaven. No. I think by the

time Isaac and Abraham work, I think the ram had

already started walking. You don't know. You can't see the

ways of God. Like Olivia said, my ways are not

your ways, my plan or not your plan. Ask the

heaven is high. So is my plan than your plan?

If your plan has been broken in the past, Praise

the Lord. A higher plan is coming, Amen, a higher plan,

a higher calling, a higher blessing. And so this guy,

Isaac was lying down, and then this, this ram is

caught in the thorn. This lamp is caught in the torn.

So imagine, I don't know. I'm just giving my wild gase.

Where did this thorn come from? Maybe this is the

thorn and the thistle that God has cursed the land.

God cursed the land. Am I making the connection. And

do you remember Jesus wote the thorn on his head. Therefore,

my brethren, offer your body as a living sacrifice. Right

by how by renewing your mind transformation, by renewing a

mind the word of God. If you have been constantly

hit by the negative things that I may fail, I

may not get a job, that I may have sickness.

They needs a transformation of your mind. And that transformation

happens today. That transformation God is telling you know what,

your end is not the end, but your end is

the beginning of new thing. So what happens is God

provided a ram and he provided a covenant reaffirmed. Do

you know like one of the things that they do

one of the during this to this new year, they

blow the ramp and they blow the ram. Right do

what is this means? That means if that if that

horn has not caught in the thorn, nice, if that

horn has not caught in the thorn, you and I

may still be struggling. So that is an empty horn

that brings the noise? Is that is it? Okay? I

just just wanted to say something interesting. Maybe your horn,

your horn of me, your horn, you know the horn

with which you fight, the horn of me myself. Oh

you know what, I got a PhD. Nobody can stop me. Hah,

that is a horn, you know what. I'm so handsome them.

Uh huh, that is a problem. You know what. I

will apply and I will get a job. Hard work

always wins, Not so my brothers and sister. God's work

will win. Is that is that? Okay? Right? Maybe the

horn that you have grown up is your past. You

know who My father is. In my father's house. There

are ten servants in my father's house. My mother carries

me in the arm. You know. The thorn may be

your hurts, your past, your forgiveness. The thorn may be something.

But Jesus is inviting this. Whether we believe not is

not important. But we have a better rosa Shanna, which

is Jesus. He bored the cross. He bored it the

day probably when when when they casted his thorn on

the crown, Jesus might have said, today, the curse of

hard work is broken. Remember, like hard work was a

curse in the garden when man sin. When Jesus was

carrying it, he said, no what, No more hard work,

no more sweats, no more pay my children will be happy.

He's calling us to that promise land. When when, when they,

when they, when they, when they, when they hit him,

when they whipped him, he says, by my stripes they

are healed. We are in a place where we are

ready to cross Rover, and this cross is calling you

so that you will lay down your crown and take

out the crown.
