[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for listening to another faith-generating word by David Entry. God has packed life in the words of an anointed man of God. Pay your heart to receive and for your life to change through this anointed message.
[0:14] Be blessed. The Bible says that, And the Lord visited Sarah as he has said. Genesis 21.
[0:25] The Lord visited Sarah as he, if he said it, don't worry. In fact, this is what happened.
[0:37] An angel of God. In fact, it's called, normally the expression and the phrase is, The angel of the Lord.
[0:48] So when you read the Old Testament and you come across the phrase, The angel of the Lord, most of the time he talks about it's meaning referring to God himself. So in Genesis chapter 18, Abraham saw three people coming.
[1:03] And he told the wife, Hurry up, prepare some nice meal. Do something for, let us. And he told them, please come. We are sacrificing a lamb or we are preparing a meal.
[1:15] And they ate. And so whilst they were eating, Don't told you offering doesn't move heaven. Verse 12 of verse 7.
[1:25] Okay. And Abraham ran into the head and fetched a calf. Say calf. God likes sacrifices that have blood. A tender calf. Good.
[1:36] Tender and good. And gave it to a young man. And he hastened to dress it. So he gave it to the man. He himself caught it. He said, go and prepare it for these personalities that have come to me.
[1:49] What happened in the next verse? And he took butter and milk and the calf which they had dressed and set it before them. A personality.
[2:00] Three personalities. Set it before them. And, I can't hear. Yeah. Before them. And he stood by them under the tree and they did it.
[2:12] God, the father, the father, the son, the father. Three personalities. They came. And they did it. What happened? And they said unto him.
[2:28] Where is your wife? Because they are aware of the condition at home. They are aware. They are aware of the condition at home. They said, where is Sarah?
[2:40] And, you are Sarah's wife. And he said, not Hagar, your concubine. Your wife. And he said, behold, in the tent.
[2:51] She was in the tent preparing the food. Like an usher. Or a security person dealing with a car whilst we are before the Lord.
[3:03] She was in the tent. And then, watch this. And, and he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life.
[3:15] Not according to the process of time. There is a certain time of life. God never is late on that time. Amen. He said, me.
[3:27] I will certainly visit you. He said, I will. I will certainly. Say certainly. Certainly. Say it like you want to mean certainly. Certainly. In other words, you can't change it.
[3:40] I will do it. No condition can change what I want to do. He said, I will certainly, definitely offer truth. I will certainly visit thee according to the time of life.
[3:54] And no, Sarah, your wife, shall have a son. What? This is a done deal. They know Sarah can get pregnant. He said, I will visit you according to when?
[4:07] According to when? I have a feeling that this fasting period is somebody's time of life. It's interesting when you read it from verse 1.
[4:20] They were passing. They were passing. They look like they were passing. It says that, and the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre. And he sat in the tent door.
[4:33] And in the heat of the day, look at what happened. And he lifted up his eyes and looked. And lo, three men stood by him. The Lord visited him by three men.
[4:46] Three men stood by him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door and bowed himself towards the ground. He knew that this is a supernatural personality.
[4:59] So he approached them. They stood there. He approached them, bowed. You always want to be called, to be invited. Sometimes when you see God awake, you pursue.
[5:10] And what happened? And said, my Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.
[5:20] What should I do? Let a little water, I pray thee, be fetched and wash your feet and rest yourself unanedely. He begged them that don't go.
[5:31] If I have found favor, please, I want to do something. Please, just, I want to wash your feet and fetch water. And then when they decided to come, he just went around and fetched a tender calf.
[5:47] Tender and good. And he brought and sacrificed it and prepared with butter and milk. With proper, I mean, those days, butter would be proper, organically better.
[6:00] Fresh on the farm. And set it before them. And they ate. The Bible said they did it. Anyway, Abraham set it before them.
[6:11] They didn't say, oh, we are supernatural. When a woman brought her small money to the temple, widow's mite, they call it.
[6:23] She brought the least. She gave little. Jesus called the disciples and he said, you see, that woman has given more than all. Because she has given all her living.
[6:36] Jesus, you know it's all her living. Let her take the money back. He didn't tell him to take your money. Because your money at Elijah's feet is what will determine how you will be sustained supernaturally.
[6:51] Abraham saved them. They did it. And then when he ate, the first question is, where is your wife? And then he said, oh, you see, in the tent, he said, I'm telling you, certainly I will visit according to the time of life.
[7:08] And she will conceive. They have not discussed anything. But the fact that Abraham hosted them, went out of his comfort.
[7:19] You know, it's not easy to catch a calf. Went out of his comfort. And prepared for them. He said, according to the time of life.
[7:30] And when Sarah heard that they said she was going to have a child, she laughed. So the meaning of Isaac is laughter. Sarah laughed. Sarah, thy wife, shall bear.
[7:41] And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind Abraham. The next verse. Now, Abraham and Sarah were old and well streaking in age.
[7:54] Sometimes God wants to give you a house. He waited for the time you lost your job. Old and well streaking in financial hardship. And that is when God came to.
[8:07] So Abraham and their wife were old and well streaking in age. And it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. I hope you are. She stopped making, having menses.
[8:19] So if you don't have menses, you can't have a child. Because menses is ovulation and the egg comes to pass. And then another one will come. When if the egg is not fertilized, the egg will pass.
[8:29] And every month the new one will come. So ideally women fertilize. Oh sorry, ovulate 12 times a year. So Sarah has stopped menstruating. So that means she can't give birth.
[8:42] That was when after she stopped menstruating, God came. And he said that you have a child. Look at the verse 12. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself saying, After I am wax old, shall I have pleasure, my Lord being also old?
[8:57] How can I enjoy anything since we are all old? It can't happen. Then the Lord said to Abraham, why did your wife laugh? And the Lord said, you see now he said the Lord.
[9:10] He said they. In the beginning he said God appeared. Abraham three men. And then he says that it's faithful for them. They did it. And then he said, I will visit. And then Abraham, Sarah began.
[9:24] And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh? Saying, shall I of a surety bear a child which I am old? God came to say something which seemed humanly impossible.
[9:39] And then when he said there was an initial normal human reaction. And God reacted to the human reaction. And he said, those of you, just in case some people are doubting.
[9:52] There are people here who are wondering that can God do this? He said, is there anything too hard for the Lord? If you are believer, this should be your motto. Abraham is her father. Genesis chapter 18 verse 14.
[10:03] Is there anything too hard for the Lord? At the time I pointed, I will return unto thee. According to. You said it's not possible because you are dealing with the process of time.
[10:13] God makes it possible because it deals with the time of life. The time of life. The time of life. He said, I will come according to the time of life.
[10:24] And Sarah shall have a son. That's where this whole thing started. And in Genesis chapter 21 verse 1. It said, and the Lord did. Because he has already said it.
[10:36] They thought it was not possible. But thank God Abraham chose to believe. After God preached to him. The reason why we preach is so that you can stop unbelieving. And start believing.
[10:49] That's why we preach. That's why we preach. Preaching is supposed to help someone. He said, the word of faith which we preach is in your mouth. And it's in your heart. So we are preaching it for faith to rise up in your heart.
[11:02] Angel preached to Mary. When Mary said, I can't have a child. Angel told her, Elizabeth is already on the road. And with God, nothing shall. Luke 1.37.
[11:13] Nothing shall be impossible. Sarah 2. The Lord himself said to Abraham. Is there anything too hard for me? Why are you behaving like I'm not God?
[11:24] I think I'm talking to somebody. Why are you behaving like he's not God? You are pushing into God. Don't be worried. Don't be afraid. I see God fighting for you.
[11:37] Your amen is too weak. I see God fighting for you. I see God showing up in your life. According to the time of life, God is showing up. In the name of Jesus.
[11:52] If you believe in, shout it. Believe in amen. Amen. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry. You're welcome to Connect with David Entry on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.
