 PRAYER - "Useless Prayer"



WARFARE
Most people will not acknowledge the fact that "God is angry with the wicked every day," (Psalm 7:11). Unrepented sin separates us from Him. It really cuts off our communications with God. The only prayer God really wants to hear from a sinner is repentance. Sincere repentance opens His heart and ears again.Jeremiah 7:9,10 - "Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name?"  Let's read the story. Bible



PRINCIPALS - "Abimelech of Gerar"


Touch Not Think Not
Abimelech took Sarah from Abraham. God shut the wombs of the women in his household. Then God told Abimelech he was a dead man if he touched Sarah - she was a man's wife. Abimelech asked Abraham why he said she was his sister. "I thought they would slay me for my wife's sake." Abimelech returned Sarah unharmed, gave Abraham sheep, oxen, menservants, womenservants and a thousand pieces of silver, then said, "my land is before thee, dwell where it pleaseth thee." Divine intervention!
Genesis 20:7 - "...restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet." Let's read the story. Bible


PRINCIPLES - "The Glory of Barrenness"
  

Believe it or not, there is glory in barrenness. Barrenness exemplifies the limitations of the flesh, but God's power overrides it. Barren Sarah bore Isaac. Rebekah bore twins. Rachel bore Joseph. Hannah bore Samuel. Elizabeth bore John. God favors the barren. He who sent Manna from the sky sends fruitfulness to the faithful.
   Isaiah 54:1 - "Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD." Let's read the story. Bible 
False Teachings
PROPHECIES - "Hagar's Exile"

Islam diabolically contradicts many Biblical truths concretely established for 2000 years before Mohammed was born. The Bible says Ishmael still lived with Abraham and Sarah at thirteen. The Koran says angel Gabriel took Hagar and suckling baby Ishmael on a flying horse (Al-Buraq) to a well named ZamZam at Mecca, Saudi Arabia where they say Abraham built the Kaaba (house of Allah) around a meteorite stone, on a foundation built by Adam and Eve. Never happened!
Genesis 17:25 - "Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin."
Let's read the story. Bible
