Introduction
Since chapter 12 we have been discussing one thing and one thing only.
The Abram and Sarai would have a child.
Why is this so important?
It would be a miracle because of their old age and Sarai is barren.
Abraham’s seed will bring forth a son.
That son will bring forth a nation.
That nation will bring forth the Messiah.
The Messiah will save the world.
The Messiah is Jesus.
This is important stuff.
This is God sized stuff.
This is change the world stuff.
There are times that God calls us to some crazy things, Incredible things, miraculous things.
Isn’t it good that God has given us a brain so that we can Help God Out.
I mean, God didn’t raise no dummy.
I’ve got skills.
I can see where he’s going and what he told me he was going to do, so I will just jump right in and get my hands dirty and just HELP GOD OUT!!
Isn’t that they way we think.
If it going to get done, I have to ________________ do it myself.
So we plan and we scheme and do what we can to Help God out.
There is a problem.
You can’t do the impossible!
You can’t preform miracles!
The only thing you do when you try and help God is get in the way and mess stuff up!!
Let’s look at Genesis chapter 16 and see how Sarai tried to help out God.
Gen 16:1-
The Things of the Flesh will Never Substitute for the Things of the Spirit.
God had limited their resources on purpose.
If Sarai and Abram could have had kids they would have doubted the miracle of God.
They would have always asked the question: Was it God or was it me.
Sometimes we pray, “God if I just had all the resources then I could really serve you.”
Instead of, “God you are the only resources that I need.
If I have you I have everything.”
(Oh you did not hear me this morning.)
God Pleasers: By faith we will please God as we trust him with our lives.
Be careful of the voices you listen too.
God had already spoken.
He didn’t stutter or stamper.
He was clear and concise.
Another voice just brings confusion.
He listened to the voice of his wife.
(Move on Pastor Bill, Just Move On)
Even the voices closest to you need to be drowned out by the clear voice of the Lord.
Gen 16:
What You Produce in the Flesh always breeds Contempt with the Spirit.
The flesh always looks down on the Spirit.
the feeling that someone or something is worthless or beneath consideration.
contempt
