Abraham's sons Isaac and Ishmael represent birth by the Spirit and birth by the flesh (human effort). That which is born of the flesh is enslaved and will not enter God's kingdom. But that which is born of the Spirit will last forever.

This principle exists on both large and small scales. For example, Jesus promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. This promise will come to pass, but it will be as God sends the reviving power of the Holy Spirit in response to prevailing prayer--not because Christians developed an ingenious strategy to make it happen.

This Isaac/Ishmael principle also holds true in our lives. For example, if you're fully given to Jesus, then you will eat, dress, conduct yourself, clean, and speak to others as you're led by the Spirit. There will be no "Ishmael" areas of your life. Likewise, the conversion of others depends primarily on the moving of the Spirit of God--not the way I articulate the gospel, or the expression on my face, and so forth.

Are you in the freedom of God's promises, or are you bound under the law?

The Terrifying Third Commandment

The Terrifying Third Commandment https://youtu.be/1raIzROKo14 This ... https://youtu.be/1raIzROKo14 This is truly a terrifying message because we've grossly misunderstood the third commandment. Please listen to the message with a soft heart, one willing to repent. We've reduced much of the teachings in the church to intellectual understandings, something which will ultimately just gussy up the flesh and allow us to be somebody and continue in our wicked ways. Please avoid that trap as you listen closely to this message and ask the Holy Spirit to identify any areas where you may be taking the name of our Lord in vain. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=31852&feed_id=4820

The Jacob Generation

The Jacob Generation This is a clarion call to be a part... This is a clarion call to be a part of The Jacob Generation. Find out what means and how you can participate by listening to the message and then simply obeying what the Holy Spirit tells you to do. We'll provide a hint or two by including the short that we made from this message. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.
