The Miracle of God’s Word
Galatians 4:23
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Anything that is only of our flesh and not the work of the Holy Spirit in and through us is actually at enmity with the Lord, for He cannot be pleased by the flesh, but only faith (Romans 8:7-8, Hebrews 11:6). Abraham never staggered at the promise (Romans 4:20), but he sure staggered at the avenue through which it would come, and when he got ahead of God, he trusted in what he himself could do, and that is always the work of the flesh. Ishmael was born of the bond woman after Abraham’s fleshly attempt to bring about the promise of God. It never has, nor will it ever take place, and this is the vast difference between the Law/Bondage and Grace/Promise/Freedom.
Many today sit and listen to messages that give an answer to our many problems as “trying harder” or “finding the new thing that God is doing in that Church or this Church.” Make no mistake about it Brother’s and Sister’s, if it is not faith in the cross, we are not going to find that daily victory, peace and joy that we know is ours, but will have to fake it until we make it. This makes many mad, but the humble will hear it and come running back to the Cross of Jesus Christ, as I speak from experience. It is either the Cross and the Holy Spirit, or it is anything other and the Sin Nature and flesh (Romans 6:16). I choose again today to deny myself of whatever it is that would hinder my trust in and taking up of the cross alone to be able to follow my Jesus according to the Scriptures (Luke 9:23, 14:27).
