Speaker 1 (00:07):
Ah, God bless you. God bless you. God bless you.
And when I say God bless you, I mean God,
the true and Living God, the one who created you,
the one who created the universe, created universe. As I
mean he in particular, bless I mean bring you joy, answers, happiness,
(00:32):
conc resolutions, solutions, conclusions. I mean God bless you, you
in particular, you and your plans, you and what He
ordained for you, You and your joy, You in your family, You, you, you, you.
I don't mean it is just a saying in a
(00:56):
I mean God, the God of the universe, bring you joy,
happiness in every area of your life, the areas you understand,
misunderstand and don't understand it and completely understand. Yeah, bring
you joy and happiness. Now. I want to look at
(01:17):
something today and only because for me it was something
that I wanted God's understanding, because whenever I would read it,
I read through the Bible at least once a year,
Genesis to Revelation and normally three times in the year,
(01:40):
and every time I come across this passage, I don't
like it because I know God to be all that
that I just said to you, the creator, the one
who made all things, knows all things, is all things.
And then when he introduced Lord God, or I always
(02:03):
say yahweh Elohem, that's the one. I say yahweh Elohem
to always remind myself not get so used to saying
Lord that I at any time forget that He is
the ratifier of the covenant, the maker of the covenant,
(02:23):
and the keeper of the covenant. And that's in always
times and relationships and anything else you can think of
and throw in there. He's the one. And that's why
I say yahweh to remember that aspect of him, because
when we get used to using certain terms, we get
(02:44):
so used to it that we forget or we overlook
or don't apply right when it's super important. And as
a matter of fact, I wrote it for me, although
people have asked me to publish it, but a Home's
Names of God's Study Bible, where I actually use the
(03:06):
names in the language that it was given, so that
for me, it's the whole idea of understanding from the
way and the sequence in which God revealed and reveals.
(03:27):
For example, our Bibles today we start with the pentituke,
we start with Genesis, and yet in Genesis you get
to see right away with Adam and Eve, and you
get to understand that they knew some things that we
(03:49):
don't have written. How did canaanable Mota to bring a sacrifice?
And apparently they knew it at the same time they
had the same timing, if not the exact same day
in time or even speaking of day and time, we
could all hung up on Sabbath, whether we're hung up
on it or hung up off it? How much how
(04:12):
much do we recognize that the first mention burden me
of Sabbath? God was talking about him himself, not not
the law that He gave about it for us or
for Israel or whatever. That's why I said it that way,
(04:33):
whether you hung up on the Sabbath or hung up
about the Sabbath. You know what we today call pros
and cons. And even that I used an expression pros
and cons. And I was going to use an expression
in something. And I was going to say, use a phrase,
(04:54):
a phrase that we know is a phrase that doesn't
mean it exact a figure of speech, and the figure
of speech was going to be like a broken record.
And I was going to say, how many times you
might have heard me about something? And I to myself,
(05:15):
I'm like a broken record. The only thing is I
realized that for the age I'm in and the generation
that might be listening to me, that figure of speech
may mean something totally different than what I mean when
I'm saying it. I grew up with records that were
(05:37):
not records kept in data and on a database, so
that when I say broken record, I'm not talking about
information that's been broken or messed with or messed up.
And someone hearing that expression, hearing me that I sound
like a broken record to myself, might take that expression
(06:01):
to mean something very different than what I mean. And
yet you heard me say it, so that you know
that you heard exactly what I said, and I said
broken record, and you can come to all kinds of conclusions,
whereas I would tell you that's not what I said,
and you would tell me you said exactly that. And
(06:26):
for those of you who do know when records were played,
I don't even even explaining it on a disc, and
I'm not talking about the little square floppy disc even
to explain. And I'm saying all of this to let
us know that when we look at things in the word,
(06:48):
we do want to recognize what's an expression, and we
want to know how that expression was used in the
time that it was written. That makes means doing a
little research. It's worth it. It's worth it because the word
of God, and I do want to say it right,
but it's sharp and powerful other than any twit or
not even that one. Finished that one, go ahead, finished
that one, but that study to show yourself approved unto God.
(07:16):
And I can get so into the idea of being
approved unto God that I don't say the rest of
what God said there and all of that to say,
we're going to look today at fountain first mention, and
(07:41):
the rule of first mention is that the first time
a phrase or a word, a saying, the first use
of it in scripture is the nucleus of it, the
core of it, every time you see it in the word.
(08:05):
So that even when God is building upon or expanding
upon what he gave, what's there the first time he
mentioned such a thing, whether it's a person, a phrase,
a situation, that's there every time. And with that, we're
(08:27):
going to look at Fountain and I hope, I hope,
my hope being in God. I'm not even going to
say that because then I want to go to the
first time he mentioned hope, and right now, what I'm
(08:48):
remembering about hope is that hope makes not ashamed. However,
if I go to that verse, you're going to see
that it's a lot like what I'm going to deal
with right now about the first mention of fountain, that
there's a whole lot to it that takes a whole
longer to get through it than what we human beings prefer.
(09:14):
And that's when we know what we even think when
we're dealing with society. Excuse me just a minute. I'm
going to go off camera to get ah. I want
to put this on top of here so my phones
(09:35):
people call, I have it on mute, but I can
hear it. And I don't want you to have to
hear that, Okay, And that even reveals something to you
about my personality that certain things upset me, certain sounds
upset me. Okay, here we go. So the first mention
(09:58):
of fountain is in Genesis sixteen, and I'm going to
see if this helps keep me on point. I'm a
theologian and I like to study a thing inside out.
That's a phrase upside down, in and out and every
(10:21):
different way now to clarify what I mean by that phrase,
I take it from Ephesians, where God says about with
the saints, not just me all by myself, but with
the saints moving in the love of God, knowing the
love of God. And he gives parameters and look it
(10:44):
up because the order matters. Remember Jesus said, man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceeded out of the mouth of God. And I have
learned that the order that God gave a thing matters.
And then I used to be on my case because
there's a lot of things that I'll memorize or think
(11:06):
I memorized, and I memorize the order differently than the
way God gave it, and then I'd be on my
case for it. And God's always telling me I may
not be on my case, because remember God doesn't shame
or blame. He doesn't and he doesn't want us shaming
or blaming ourselves or anybody else. But it took me
(11:27):
a while, Like this thing with fountain, it took me
a while to finally get to not just understand that,
but understand it well enough to be like him and
stop doing that. So the aspects of things that I,
as a theologian, tend to understand things and even examine things.
(11:52):
Is like what it says an Ephesians about with the
saints knowing the love of God, and he says the height, length, depth,
and breath. And even as I said it, just now
I remember I gave myself an acronym. And now that
I am not recalling the acronym, I realize it's because
(12:13):
I said it out of order. However, I look at
the height of things, and I look at the depth
of things. When I'm studying it, I look at the Okay,
you get the idea. So when even I go to
first mention, that's what I'm looking for. Well, an example
(12:35):
that I give often is that in the Seven Churches,
after they're talked to, each one is told he who
has an ear. That means if you know how to listen,
if you want to listen, if you have okay, he
who has an ear, let him hear here, listen what
(12:56):
the spirit sayeth And that you know, King James, that
etch has to do with it was that way, It
is that way. It's going to keep on coming that
way to the churches. So I just explained to you
how I study and how I understand good to know
(13:16):
you want to know that about yourself. However, what God
says if you have an ear and he doesn't even
give you the if he who has an ear, which
means you're supposed to be able to recognize that a
fool doesn't casell fool. There's three different words for a
fool in the Hebrew. And the cassel fool is the
(13:40):
one that I call I use the word stupid, uh,
the one who only believes himself, only hears himself. And
the casselfool probably thinks he has an ear, doesn't know
that he doesn't. And that's a he or she, by
the way. So we're going to look at first the
(14:02):
first mention of fountain. And I'm not one that likes
to give my testimony, but God keeps letting me know
that that's not him, that's me. That's my way. And
I'm always saying I want your way, yahweh, I want
your way, and He lets me know, No, me and
(14:26):
my not wanting to give testimony and not liking to
tell my testimony, that's my way. That's how I am. Oh.
And then I want to tell you something about I
am because most of us remember that God called himself
I am. However, early in his word he said, don't
(14:48):
take the name of the Lord in vain. Don't take
the name of Yahweh in vain. And when we say
I am and say something other than what he created,
Remember he created man in his image and he says
it twice. That's something to get to know about God.
That when he says it twice, that's how it is immutable, irrefutable.
(15:11):
Can object all you want, you can fast and pray
all you want, But when he says it twice, that's
how it is. So that he made us in his image,
so that when we go saying I am, I'm about
to drop a heavy one on you. We're taking the
Lord's name in vain. He puts his glory on us,
(15:36):
marked his name. How dare we say something else? And
so this particular book, whenever people just see the cover
I am, they think it's about the I am Him.
This particular book is about you, all the ways that
(16:03):
you are. As a matter of fact, the subtitle you
probably can't see it here. I am who God says
I am. And in this book are all these different
statements and scriptures about who God says I have another
book just like this. It says you are you are
(16:24):
who God says you are, and God had me write it,
you are me talking to you or him talking to you.
And then understanding, I am so either way who God
says you are. That's what's so, that is what's true.
(16:45):
That is what we want to live, what we want
to say, what we want to believe, what we want
to hope. Okay, so here we go. First mention a
fountain and actually I'm a back up, so it's sixteen seven,
(17:10):
So I'm going to read verse seven, but then I'm
going to go back and read the process Genesis sixteen
seven and the Angel of the Lord found her by
a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain
(17:30):
in the way to Sure. Now, there's a whole lot
going on there just in that one verse, and when
we read them, we're not living them, even though we
have in the New Covenant and also in the Old Covenant.
But we have in the New Covenant that talks about
us being living word. So I'm going to read this
(17:54):
and I'll tell on me now as far as my
testimony about it is, whenever I read this, I didn't
like it, and I didn't want to agree, except for
that I had sense in a I'm not a fool.
I had sense enough to know to agree with God
and agree with his word. But I also recognize that
I didn't like it, and I didn't agree. And I
(18:16):
kept asking God, as I do whenever I see something
that's Him and I don't like it and I don't agree,
I ask Him to work that in me. I repent,
even though I know that that's a false repentance because
repenting is a turnaround. And I still think what I think,
(18:37):
and I don't like it. And yet the other day,
well the other week. Now, sitting next to someone who
lives in she doesn't know that she moves in, lives
in what I term prophetic revelatory or the the prophetic revelatory,
(19:02):
and just sitting down next to her, and we don't
get the fellowship much just sitting down next to her.
Something came up. This was in a pastor's group, all
pastors and leaders. Something came up about Fountain Hill, an
area called Fountain Hill, and automatically, me being me, I
(19:26):
went to the first mention. Since I know that where
God first mentions it in his word, that's the nucleus
of it everywhere. Now, mind you, they're not even talking
about his word. They're talking about a municipality here where
I am, And I want the definition God who made
(19:50):
the heaven and earth, the heavens and the earth, and
then gave us dominion in the earth and the heaven. Well,
because I know what I know about that, I right
away went to see the first mention to understand something
about this little triangular municipality called Fountain Hill, to know
(20:11):
something about this church in Fountain Hill. And so I'm
going to read verse seven again just to help connect
the dots, and then I'm going to read the whole
living out what God said about the fountain. But sixteen
(20:33):
Genesis sixteen seven and the Angel of Yahweh found her
by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the
fountain in the way to share. Now, right there, you
see that the first mention of fountain, there's some things
at least two different things that are mentioned about it
(20:58):
as to the location and all that. So most of
us don't recognize that our lives are like that, the hope,
our hopes are like that, our faith is like that,
our desires are like that. So sixteen one. Now Sarah,
(21:19):
I'm gonna call her Sarah. I know the pronunciation is Sarah.
I Sarah Abram's wife. Notice that's Abram, not Abraham. He's
not Abraham yet. Sarah, Abram's wife bear him no children.
And she had a handmaid. And this isn't a slave
in case, I don't get to look all that up
(21:40):
for us, because there are okay, she had an handmaid,
an Egyptian important whose name was Hagar. And Sarah said
to Abram, now, Yadweh hath restrained me from bearing I
(22:06):
pray thee go in to my maid. It may be
that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened
to the voice of Sarah, I oh, pardon of Sarah.
And Sarah, Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian notices.
(22:30):
He lets you know that more than once after Abram
had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and
gave her to her husband Abram, to be his wife.
I don't know if you see these changes here. And
he went in onto Hagar, and she conceived. And when
(22:52):
she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised
in her eyes and Sarah said, unto Abram, my wrong
be upon THEE. Your fault. Pardon. The scripture doesn't say
it's your fault. That's what she's saying. Though, my wrong
(23:15):
be upon THEE. I have given my maid into thy bosom.
And when she saw that she had conceived, I was
despised in her eyes. Yahweh, judge between me and you,
me and THEE. No, she's not kidding. But Abram said
(23:37):
to her, Sarah, behold, thy maid is in thy hands.
Do with her as it pleases THEE. And when Sarah died,
hardly with her. And it doesn't say harshly the word
is hardly mean the same thing. She fled from her face.
(24:01):
And the Angel of the Lord, pardon me. The Angel
of Yahweh, the founder by a fountain of water first mentioned,
first mentioned fountain, found her by a fountain of water
in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to
(24:21):
sure And he said, he I'm talking about the Angel
of Yahweh. He said, Hagar, Sarah's maid. Whence camest thou
where are you coming from? And where wilt thou go?
(24:44):
Where are you going? And the way he asked it,
it's like, and where do you think you're going. And
he said unto her, Hagar, Sarah's maid, whence camest thou,
And whither whither wilt thou go? And she said, I
flee from the face of my mistress Sarah. And the
(25:07):
Angel of the Lord said, unto her, return to thy mistress,
and submit thyself under her hands. And the Angel of
the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly,
(25:30):
that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the
Angel of the Lord said, unto her, pardon me. And
the Angel of Yahweh said unto her, behold thou art
with child, and she'll bear a son, and shall call
his name Ishmael, because Yahweh hath heard thy affliction. And
(25:56):
he'll be a wild man. He will be a wild man,
his hand be against every man, and every man's hand
against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of
all his brethren. And she called the name of Yahweh
that spake unto her. Noticed a change, and she called
(26:21):
the name of Yahweh that spake unto her, thou art Eloheim,
pardon me, Thou Eloheim seest me. And she said, have
I also here looked after him that seeth me, she's
(26:43):
making a declaration a question. Have I also here looked
after him that seeth me? Wherefore the well was called?
And let me see if I can have away pronounce
right vera ha LeRoi behold, it is between Kadish and
(27:06):
buried or buried, And I actually well, I can go
to the end of the verse. And Hagar beer Abram's son,
and Abram called his name his son's name, which Hagar
beer Ishmael, and Abram was fourscore and six years old
(27:29):
when Hagar bear him Ishmael. Okay, So I read the
whole chapter on that one. Now, there's a whole lot
of stuff going on in there. In the first mention. Now,
the first thing that I want to mention to you
is that when you're going through a thing and you
just want you're asking God for the resolution and for
the solution and for the area understanding and to bring
you out, you're not necessarily expecting the Angel of Yahweh.
(27:56):
And sometimes when you look up angel of the Lord,
sometimes it's an angel a messenger of Yahweh. And the
difference between a messenger of Yahweh he's it's kind of
like the police carrying their badge that represents the whole
police force or represents you know, all of that, not
just him standing there. Sometimes the Angel of the Lord,
(28:20):
it's like that. It's a messenger, whether it's a spirit being,
a host of heaven or a human being messenger of Yahweh.
But he's got that badge that represents the whole thing
of Yahweh. And I do want to remind you that
(28:41):
when God introduced Yahweh Lord, he didn't introduce Yahweh by itself.
The first name or title, whatever you want to call it,
God introduced God introducing is Elohem, God capital g. Second
one is Rua Eloheim. Oh. I know, we like to
(29:03):
say Father's son, holy ghost. However, when you look at
what God revealed in his word, it is Eloheim, Rua Eloheim,
and then Yahweh Elohem. And I'll give you a heads
up because in Isaiah we learn and the government will
be uponished shoulders. He says it twelve times twelve was
(29:26):
the number of governments. We don't know it right then
when he says Yahweh Elohem, we learned that. Further, however,
the third revelation of Lohem of his name titles whichever
way you want to call it. The first is Eloheim God,
(29:47):
the second is Rua Eloheim spirit of God. The third
is Yahweh Lohem, Lord God. So back, this Angel of
the Lord. Lord is the one who ratifies covenant and
keeps covenant. Remember Jesus said, I'll never leave you nor
(30:08):
forsake you, even unto the ends of the earth. So
he keeps the covenant. He's the one who gives the covenant.
But he's the one who keeps the covenant. And so
it's the Angel of the Lord. Now you're gonna know.
I'll give your heads up. Now you're gonna know that
(30:30):
this is him. This is him. He's coming with a
message and one of the things that we may not
know yet. But message, it doesn't go away. It resonates
with you. It stays with you. If you got it
in your head, if you received it in your head,
it's gonna stay in your head. And if something causes
you to lose it out of your head, like forget,
(30:51):
you're gonna need to know about those things what God
says about forgetting. However, the message, when it resonates in
your heart, when it's given and it's in your heart,
it stays in your heart. It's there. It's there when
you're thinking about it, when you're not thinking about it.
It's there when you feel it, and when you don't
feel it, okay, and when you get it in your
spirit or your soul. And I just did a course
(31:14):
on soul and spirit to understand because I'm hearing people
lately mix up the two or say the one, but
then bring a scripture for the other. And it's not
that they're wrong anyway. I want you to know that
when God's giving message, when the Angel of the Lord,
(31:35):
the Angel of Yahweh, when he comes, and it's he
himself when he comes as an angel. The whole aspect
of message and messenger is that it resonate, is that
it stays, and it doesn't stay the same. It grows,
It expands height, length, death, and breadth. Okay. And then
(31:57):
there's other arenas and avenues to know and understand things
of God, things from God, things about God, things about
things that are God's. All of that, and more importantly,
all of that is lived. Some of it's lived out
you and me right here and now. Other of it
(32:19):
is lived out in our generations or and in our
time times and timing. Remember, God made a promise to Abram,
and you can go study it so that if you
know it, you know it, and if you don't know it,
you can go find it out. God made a promise
(32:41):
to Abram, and it had a time schedule to it,
and here Moses is born in that time, and you
know God does this. You might not know that you
know God does this, but you know. The scripture lets
you know that Jesus was born in the fullness of time.
And like this first mention of fountain, the fullness of
time has more to do with than the fact that
(33:03):
he's fully god fully man. I mean to even get
to know and understand that a woman actually carried him
in her body, in her womb. A man did not
(33:25):
what's the word I'm looking for, the modern word I'm
looking for. Anyway, it was not the essence of a
man that fertilized the woman's egg, the mother's egg. You
want to understand these things, All of these things go
(33:45):
on when the first mention is there. So here that
first mention a fountain. It has to do with the
backstory that all these years have gone by. Sarah knows
that she's chosen, She knows that she's to beloved, So
(34:07):
why no children? Whoa what? And she also knows society,
the society she lives in. She knows the rules of society.
And if you're blessing, if you're all that, you're going
to have a ton of children. I want to use
a scripture of the analogy a myriad of children. But anyway,
(34:29):
and now it hasn't happened, and there's a shame on you.
Oh yeah, there's judgmental there's a judgmentalness on you. And
people feel justified in their judgmental And here's another thing.
You want to know about that, because it's how everybody thinks.
Everybody knows that. Well, you want to go by the word.
This is why I'm in the habit of going to
(34:51):
the Word to find out the nucleus and the ongoing
what God revealed. Especially, and I mean not because of
what everybody else thinks, because I know that I have
a thought about it, and I want to think what
God thinks. And when I read this, when I read
this passage, I didn't like it. I didn't like it
at all, because I live on a day and time
when somebody treats you bad, and that's where you live.
(35:13):
We have whole homes, whole houses, whole apartment complexes dedicated
for people who aren't treated right in their home, where
they can go and don't have to be treated harshly.
And the Scriptures says it here so that we know
Sarah dealt with her hardly, and that doesn't mean hardly
(35:34):
at all, harshly. Do I need to look it up
for you, You can look it up. And Sarah's want
to set this up. She's someone who came up with this.
We God's people. We come up with ideas and solutions
to things, and maybe they're God's solution and maybe not.
(35:55):
We normally think they are. We think the things that
we come up with are good ideas. And to stay
with what I want to bring to you today, the
first mention of fountain to let you know that there's
a whole lot to it. There's a backstory to the
(36:15):
things going through right now. I'm dealing with people, and
each one thinks they're the only one that I'm dealing
with in that way. I'm dealing with people who are
different from what we'd like to call the average person,
and each one of them keeps insisting that they're not different.
(36:37):
We're all the same. We're just like everybody. Well, no
you're not, and each one of them, taking them through
the scriptures, everybody isn't the same as everybody else, even
with us all being made in His image. Come on,
(37:01):
let me give you a quick example so that I
can move on to a fountain. I already mentioned the
churches in the Book of Revelation. He who has an heir,
let him hear what the Spirit says to the church
as well. In the first chapter of the Book of Revelation,
you find that that is the revelation of Jesus Christ,
and it's the revelation that the Father gave to him,
(37:25):
and he gave it to him for a specific purpose,
which looks like it could be different or added to
the purpose. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
from Isaiah. Okay, when you look at that first chapter
of Revelation, there is a complete well I don't want
to use the word complete for the way that we think.
(37:48):
I want to use the expression. There is a head
to toe description of Jesus Christ. And I don't mean
that literally, because if you look at it literally, he's
going to show you that he revealed some things about
the head and not just being the head, but about
(38:09):
head that we could learn we don't usually, but anyway,
and he revealed some things about his feet head to toe.
That literally, but I just now used it as a description.
So when you go to the seven churches and Jesus
is talking to the seven churches, each one has a
different revelation. Seven churches, each one has a different revelation
(38:34):
of Jesus Christ than the other one. No wonder he
says he was in hear. Let him hear what the
spirit says to the church is because my revelation of
Jesus Christ, I'm saved, safetified, filled with the Holy ghost.
And back when I got saved, that that phraseology filled
(38:56):
with the Holy ghosts offended. And I'll say it, it
offended Japath in the earth. Now you need to go
to the scripture where God names who Japeth is. It
offended because they had taught each other through Europe fourteenth
(39:19):
to eighteenth century Europe. They had taught each other what
to think and how to think about mankind, and had
taught that what we today call indigenous people were stupid
and don't know anything, and savages and so on and
so forth, not knowing and realizing very much. So indigenous
(39:41):
people moved in the revelation of God. Like Hagar here
had experience with the Angel of Yahweh, and enough experience
that she grouped the name. Remember I told you in
Genesis and Elohem reveals names. It's the Angel of Yahweh
(40:11):
that spoke with her and dealt with her. And when
she gives a name to the fountain and the place,
she says, Eloheim, So she knows something that we kind
of have forgotten today over the ages, that they're one. Oh,
(40:32):
we know they're one, but we know it our way
Father's son, holy ghost. And by the way, when Eloheim
introduced rual Halloheim, he didn't say holy. Oh he's holy,
Yes he is. However, the aspect the nucleus that he
(40:52):
wanted us to understand about him rule Hellohem, the spirit
of God had to do with that, because we already
understand that Eloheim is holy and the aspects of him
are holy. Are holy? Want you to understand that so
(41:19):
that when you get to places or people or things
in the world where people look like they're moving in
God's power but it's not holy. Everything about him is holy.
So if it's about him it's holy. And if it's
power and it's not holy, it's not him. And guess
(41:40):
what he reigns. When I say rains, I'm talking about it.
He's in control, has control, hasn't lost control, hasn't given
up control. And if you're seeing some power manifested and
you know that it's not holy, oh, he's in control.
(42:00):
And I want you to know one of the ways
God brings judgment because he's always just and holy. Remember
the time of the Emirates were not yet full that
he didn't judge the people and people's but he made
a promise to Abram. Remember Egypt, the Pharaoh. God knew
(42:28):
his heart. God let him show it out. God let
him do the evil that was in his heart. So
he judges actual action, not judging a thought. Judging the
brings judgment upon the actual action. So that when God
(42:52):
destroys a thing, you understand that that was a cancerous thing,
that was a dead thing, that was a thing that
couldn't continue to go on. You don't just think so
because you believe God, because you have faith. God is just.
(43:15):
He wants us to know this, and he's not trying
to prove himself. He doesn't have to prove himself to anybody.
Justice is like that. Remember, when you want to bring
about about justice, you don't just let it be a thought. No, No,
that thing has to show itself to be what it
(43:39):
is to be to take to qualify for judgment sentence. Okay.
In the United States, that's the way and the why
our laws started out the way they are. We've gone,
(44:00):
We've gone so askew in so many ways. However, we
started out governmenting. Yeah. I didn't mean to say that,
but yes I did. Government team God's way, and we
learned it from the Hebrews. We learned it. Okay, So
(44:24):
here we go, Angel of the Lord, and oh, I
was about to share with you how we know that
it was actually him, actually yahweh, and not just a messenger.
He's coming as messager because all of those things about
messenger are at play here. There's some other things to
(44:44):
know in your head, to know in your heart, to
know in your soul that are supposed to activate your
spirit and activate your mind, which, by the way, neurology
today lets you know, activates different things in your body
and your nervous system and your muscle system in your
I don't know what to call it, but your blood
system and especially in a lot of things need to
(45:07):
be hydrated in order to work right. And because hydration
is so simple to us, we don't pay attention to it.
And neurology is now recognizing that a whole lot of
knee surgery, bone surgery wouldn't have to be if we
would just hydrate. However, the interruption, like feelings and emotions
and going through a whole bunch of stuff, if you
don't remember what God said so that your faith is
(45:28):
in action and instead fear is in action, it blocks
different systems, something as simple as a system that makes
it so that your knee gets hydrated, and when your
knee doesn't get hydrated, certain other things don't happen, and
the knee muscles mess up to the point that your doctor,
(45:49):
your surgeon, is going to say you need surgery, and
what you need is hydration. What you need, anyway, is
to remember his promise, and if you don't know it,
to remember it, then ask him and ask him for wisdom,
because he promised he'd give it to you without fussing
(46:10):
at you. And I realize right now I sound like
I'm fussing. I don't like being one of those kind
of preachers at Fussus. However, I want us to get
rid of, get rid of everybody type thinking, society thinking,
get rid of what the Europeans, how they taught us
what to think and how to think and what to
(46:31):
thinking about. And we don't even know that we've subjected
ourselves because so much time has gone on, and that
brings me back to the fountain. Time has to play
out here and we don't like it that way. She
ran away because she was being treated harshly, not just
(46:52):
being treated badly, being treated harshly. And Abram I think,
I think in this as a husband, he was wiser
than most husbands know how to be. Just agree with her.
I'm not so sure that for the way that the
(47:13):
scripture records that he said it to her, I'm not
so sure that he got it from God, because later
when it happens and Sarah says, I don't like it,
and I'm not putting up with it. It was Eloheen
that told Abram do what she says. But right here
this isn't that way. And I think Abram's being a
(47:35):
wise husband and just let her have a way, let
her do what she wants to do so again. Whenever
I would read this, I would be so upset with it,
because why wouldn't. She's already gone, she's already out, Angel
(47:56):
of the Lord. How come you don't make a way
for her, show her back to her hometown. She was
on the way to her hometown. She was on the
right in the right desert to get to her hometown.
Why do you send her back? And then I used
to used to not like it that for what I
know about what when God calls you by name, and
(48:17):
when God says by name, he's got something so lined
up for you that it's lined up from Earth to Heaven.
It's lined up in time and times and relation and relations. Rather,
it's personal and all of that, all of that. So
I've learned that about when God uses the name. You
see when you realize that the word of God is
(48:38):
quick and powerful and sharper than any two urged sword.
When you understand that study to show yourself approved under God,
a workman that needs not to be ashamed, right and
dividing the word of truth, that you show yourself approved
unto God. When you understand that, and then you come
to like another place that I didn't enjoy when I
first came there. In chronicles were the first ten chapter
(49:00):
is his name after name, who begat who? And names
that are outside of language. I know how to pronounce
all these names, and it's name after name after name
after name. And I had to understand, this is a
word of God, and it's powerful. It's sharper than a
two edged sword. It'll divide asunder thought, Oh, go look
up the verse. But all of those things that he
(49:20):
says his word does, and to study it. I didn't
want to study all those names, ten chapters of names, however,
recognizing recognizing man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word that proceeded that out of the mouth
of God, and understanding that this is his word. So
(49:40):
I better study it and accept it. And then I
got to find out that when you study the names,
not only do you get to know God's plan, or
you get to know where man went off of God's plan.
That's why I generally use the example that when we're
God and we're on the road, we're on the right road.
(50:02):
When there's that fork in the road, it's only a
little bit different. But when if you go off the
wrong way, most of the time in the scripture, we
are way far away from where we began the right word. Yeah,
right word, right word, and right road before we even realize.
Most people who are God's people do not mean to
(50:25):
be in error. We do not mean to be fools.
We do not mean to be an abomination. However, we
have ways and habits that are not Him, because He's
the one who said behold, remember, behold, see see see
(50:46):
as a matter of fact, in sixteen two and Sarah said,
unto Abram, Oh, she's the one who said behold, like,
look at this, look, check this out, don't ignore it.
Make sure you pay attention, which is what behold means.
When God tells us that he made us a new creature,
he says behold, he says, behold. Love you, love you,
(51:09):
love you. I'm only answering, my sweet sweet son, because
I'm on the broadcast. Hallelujah, Amen, God bless you. I
thought I wasn't, But God made away. He made away,
He made away, love you, love you. That's my first born.
And I had to stop for that one, because just
like in this that fountain, there's a whole lot to
(51:33):
the story, and the backstory is still playing out today.
He's a grown man now, and God spoke of him
before he was even conceived, so that I can believe God,
and I know I can seek God when things are
going on in his life, and I know that Wait
a minute, that's not supposed to be that way. And
like when I looked at this and I said, she's
(51:55):
treated harshly, and the Angel of Yahweh sends her back. No,
we today, we would send her to a home where
she's gonna be treated well and help her to get
her life together. You know, that's not what he did.
That's not what he said. And it's recorded right here,
and time is winding down, so I'm gonna quit run through.
(52:17):
Hopefully you go read it and you look and see
and Sarah Abram's wife right here when you look at
I just now did a study on the difference between
went in unto her and know her. Yeah, because God
(52:43):
doesn't use those terms the same way, and there's some
different kind of difference going on here. Anyway, he goes
into in verse four, I do want to skip three.
And Sarah Abram's wife, she's his wife, she is his wife.
(53:03):
Took Hagar her maid. If you know the koda Pamarabi.
These were the laws of the day. The laws of
the day are not necessarily the law of God. And
I know that we in America like to understand that
we're one nation under God. Yeah, we started out that
way in terms of our laws and way of giving law,
(53:26):
and even that we didn't have it exactly right. However,
we think that we got it all that way. No, no, no, no, no,
we don't. That's what we committed to. That's what we
vow to, and we can yield to any time we want,
because God accepted that of us, and in us we're
the ones who don't keep it and don't recognize how
(53:46):
far away we get from it our own commitment to him.
But remember yahweh Lord, he is a ratifier of the covenant,
and he is a keeper of the covenant, and he
will keep us if we repent, he'll keep us. Remember
the scripture says that if you repent, he'll cleanse you
of all unrighteousness. That's the stuff already done, the stuff
(54:08):
you're doing now, and the stuff that you're on your
way to do. Remember that the Word is a lamp
to your feet and a light to your path. And
I like to let you know that a lamp to
your feet to show you where you're standing, and a
like to your path that show you where you're going. Ah,
let me get back to the scripture here. I want
us to understand that the fountain had a whole lot
(54:31):
of time and a whole lot of process. Abram, being wise,
told her here, hey, guard dude, you want, go ahead,
do what you want with her. And then when she
did conceive, See, Abram didn't treat her like just a maid.
(54:51):
But Sarah was the one that gave. If you, time
is almost up, so I don't want to keep stopping
to show it to you. You go to it and
read it and you'll see it. She didn't just give
Hagar as a maid. She gave her as a wife.
And these are days and times where there were laws
(55:16):
that a wife is a wife, a slave is a slave,
an employee is an employee type of thing. There were
laws about this relationships, so that the scripture is not
just willie nilly using any kind of terminology. And Sarah,
(55:39):
Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid. That's more like employee.
An Egyptian God's not mentioned in that for no reason. Okay,
after Abram had Dwelt ten years. God's letting us know
the timeline here. It's important not just to know how
old he is, because he years old by those kinds
(56:02):
of terms, and gave her to her husband, Abram, to
be his wife. So she goes from maid to wife,
not just because of some physical something going on. I
want you to recognize. And he went in unto her
(56:24):
and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived,
her mistress. Now we're back to this employee was despised
in her eyes. And if any men are listening, I
want you to know, it's because he treated her too nice.
You treated her like a wife, your wife said, Your
(56:46):
wife said go ahead. And not only did you go ahead,
you treated her not like an employee, like a wife.
And so Sarah, she said, my wrong, Oh I'm wrong,
But it be upon you. You're the one who treated
her so well. And one of the things that was
(57:07):
known then that neurology is learning now that love, thy
loving kindness is better than life. That's on God's side.
So he gives us to know and understand that loving
kindness moves in life. I'm a hugger, and I let
people know hugs. Minister life, hugs, love minister's life. So God,
(57:30):
thy loving kindness, thy loving kindness is better than life.
That's see heaven Earth's side, the earth and Earth and
heaven side that he gave us dominion. Loving one another
gives life. It moves life. It moves life, not just
(57:51):
and the life that Sarah recognized, not just that she conceived,
but this elevation and this sweetness, disappreciation m and so Sarah,
Sarah said, my wrong be upon you. I mean, I
said to take her as a wife, but I didn't
(58:11):
mean for you to treat her all like that. And
now I'm not just talking about gifts. I'm talking about Ah,
here we go. I have given my maid unto thy bosom.
Do you see that? Not just unto you to do
(58:35):
something with to accomplish a goal, unto thy bosom. And
when she saw that she had conceived, because you did
treat her like unto your bosom, I was despised in
her eyes. See this is why we want to ask
(58:57):
your way, Yeah, wayh your way. I want to know
what the Lord, And she said, yahweh judge between me
and THEE and he did. And when you go and
finish the verse, I want you to understand the fountain.
You want always God's way, and you might not always
like what he has to say. Go back, I didn't
(59:19):
like it. And then on top of that, the son
you have, he's going to be a warrior, war with everybody,
at war with everybody, and everybody with him. But you
know what, that's how that's his personality. That's what he's
going to be like. Now see, thank God, I have
a sweet son. That's part of what God said about him.
(59:40):
But then he said some other things and it scared me,
and I know to go to him to know the fountain,
the passage of time, the watering, the promise, ask Yahweh
your way, Yahweh sa
Ah, God bless you. God bless you. God bless you.
And when I say God bless you, I mean God,
the true and Living God, the one who created you,
the one who created the universe, created universe. As I
mean he in particular, bless I mean bring you joy, answers, happiness,
(00:32):
conc resolutions, solutions, conclusions. I mean God bless you, you
in particular, you and your plans, you and what He
ordained for you, You and your joy, You in your family, You, you, you, you.
I don't mean it is just a saying in a
(00:56):
I mean God, the God of the universe, bring you joy,
happiness in every area of your life, the areas you understand,
misunderstand and don't understand it and completely understand. Yeah, bring
you joy and happiness. Now. I want to look at
(01:17):
something today and only because for me it was something
that I wanted God's understanding, because whenever I would read it,
I read through the Bible at least once a year,
Genesis to Revelation and normally three times in the year,
(01:40):
and every time I come across this passage, I don't
like it because I know God to be all that
that I just said to you, the creator, the one
who made all things, knows all things, is all things.
And then when he introduced Lord God, or I always
(02:03):
say yahweh Elohem, that's the one. I say yahweh Elohem
to always remind myself not get so used to saying
Lord that I at any time forget that He is
the ratifier of the covenant, the maker of the covenant,
(02:23):
and the keeper of the covenant. And that's in always
times and relationships and anything else you can think of
and throw in there. He's the one. And that's why
I say yahweh to remember that aspect of him, because
when we get used to using certain terms, we get
(02:44):
so used to it that we forget or we overlook
or don't apply right when it's super important. And as
a matter of fact, I wrote it for me, although
people have asked me to publish it, but a Home's
Names of God's Study Bible, where I actually use the
(03:06):
names in the language that it was given, so that
for me, it's the whole idea of understanding from the
way and the sequence in which God revealed and reveals.
(03:27):
For example, our Bibles today we start with the pentituke,
we start with Genesis, and yet in Genesis you get
to see right away with Adam and Eve, and you
get to understand that they knew some things that we
(03:49):
don't have written. How did canaanable Mota to bring a sacrifice?
And apparently they knew it at the same time they
had the same timing, if not the exact same day
in time or even speaking of day and time, we
could all hung up on Sabbath, whether we're hung up
on it or hung up off it? How much how
(04:12):
much do we recognize that the first mention burden me
of Sabbath? God was talking about him himself, not not
the law that He gave about it for us or
for Israel or whatever. That's why I said it that way,
(04:33):
whether you hung up on the Sabbath or hung up
about the Sabbath. You know what we today call pros
and cons. And even that I used an expression pros
and cons. And I was going to use an expression
in something. And I was going to say, use a phrase,
(04:54):
a phrase that we know is a phrase that doesn't
mean it exact a figure of speech, and the figure
of speech was going to be like a broken record.
And I was going to say, how many times you
might have heard me about something? And I to myself,
(05:15):
I'm like a broken record. The only thing is I
realized that for the age I'm in and the generation
that might be listening to me, that figure of speech
may mean something totally different than what I mean when
I'm saying it. I grew up with records that were
(05:37):
not records kept in data and on a database, so
that when I say broken record, I'm not talking about
information that's been broken or messed with or messed up.
And someone hearing that expression, hearing me that I sound
like a broken record to myself, might take that expression
(06:01):
to mean something very different than what I mean. And
yet you heard me say it, so that you know
that you heard exactly what I said, and I said
broken record, and you can come to all kinds of conclusions,
whereas I would tell you that's not what I said,
and you would tell me you said exactly that. And
(06:26):
for those of you who do know when records were played,
I don't even even explaining it on a disc, and
I'm not talking about the little square floppy disc even
to explain. And I'm saying all of this to let
us know that when we look at things in the word,
(06:48):
we do want to recognize what's an expression, and we
want to know how that expression was used in the
time that it was written. That makes means doing a
little research. It's worth it. It's worth it because the word
of God, and I do want to say it right,
but it's sharp and powerful other than any twit or
not even that one. Finished that one, go ahead, finished
that one, but that study to show yourself approved unto God.
(07:16):
And I can get so into the idea of being
approved unto God that I don't say the rest of
what God said there and all of that to say,
we're going to look today at fountain first mention, and
(07:41):
the rule of first mention is that the first time
a phrase or a word, a saying, the first use
of it in scripture is the nucleus of it, the
core of it, every time you see it in the word.
(08:05):
So that even when God is building upon or expanding
upon what he gave, what's there the first time he
mentioned such a thing, whether it's a person, a phrase,
a situation, that's there every time. And with that, we're
(08:27):
going to look at Fountain and I hope, I hope,
my hope being in God. I'm not even going to
say that because then I want to go to the
first time he mentioned hope, and right now, what I'm
(08:48):
remembering about hope is that hope makes not ashamed. However,
if I go to that verse, you're going to see
that it's a lot like what I'm going to deal
with right now about the first mention of fountain, that
there's a whole lot to it that takes a whole
longer to get through it than what we human beings prefer.
(09:14):
And that's when we know what we even think when
we're dealing with society. Excuse me just a minute. I'm
going to go off camera to get ah. I want
to put this on top of here so my phones
(09:35):
people call, I have it on mute, but I can
hear it. And I don't want you to have to
hear that, Okay, And that even reveals something to you
about my personality that certain things upset me, certain sounds
upset me. Okay, here we go. So the first mention
(09:58):
of fountain is in Genesis sixteen, and I'm going to
see if this helps keep me on point. I'm a
theologian and I like to study a thing inside out.
That's a phrase upside down, in and out and every
(10:21):
different way now to clarify what I mean by that phrase,
I take it from Ephesians, where God says about with
the saints, not just me all by myself, but with
the saints moving in the love of God, knowing the
love of God. And he gives parameters and look it
(10:44):
up because the order matters. Remember Jesus said, man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceeded out of the mouth of God. And I have
learned that the order that God gave a thing matters.
And then I used to be on my case because
there's a lot of things that I'll memorize or think
(11:06):
I memorized, and I memorize the order differently than the
way God gave it, and then I'd be on my
case for it. And God's always telling me I may
not be on my case, because remember God doesn't shame
or blame. He doesn't and he doesn't want us shaming
or blaming ourselves or anybody else. But it took me
(11:27):
a while, Like this thing with fountain, it took me
a while to finally get to not just understand that,
but understand it well enough to be like him and
stop doing that. So the aspects of things that I,
as a theologian, tend to understand things and even examine things.
(11:52):
Is like what it says an Ephesians about with the
saints knowing the love of God, and he says the height, length, depth,
and breath. And even as I said it, just now
I remember I gave myself an acronym. And now that
I am not recalling the acronym, I realize it's because
(12:13):
I said it out of order. However, I look at
the height of things, and I look at the depth
of things. When I'm studying it, I look at the Okay,
you get the idea. So when even I go to
first mention, that's what I'm looking for. Well, an example
(12:35):
that I give often is that in the Seven Churches,
after they're talked to, each one is told he who
has an ear. That means if you know how to listen,
if you want to listen, if you have okay, he
who has an ear, let him hear here, listen what
(12:56):
the spirit sayeth And that you know, King James, that
etch has to do with it was that way, It
is that way. It's going to keep on coming that
way to the churches. So I just explained to you
how I study and how I understand good to know
(13:16):
you want to know that about yourself. However, what God
says if you have an ear and he doesn't even
give you the if he who has an ear, which
means you're supposed to be able to recognize that a
fool doesn't casell fool. There's three different words for a
fool in the Hebrew. And the cassel fool is the
(13:40):
one that I call I use the word stupid, uh,
the one who only believes himself, only hears himself. And
the casselfool probably thinks he has an ear, doesn't know
that he doesn't. And that's a he or she, by
the way. So we're going to look at first the
(14:02):
first mention of fountain. And I'm not one that likes
to give my testimony, but God keeps letting me know
that that's not him, that's me. That's my way. And
I'm always saying I want your way, yahweh, I want
your way, and He lets me know, No, me and
(14:26):
my not wanting to give testimony and not liking to
tell my testimony, that's my way. That's how I am. Oh.
And then I want to tell you something about I
am because most of us remember that God called himself
I am. However, early in his word he said, don't
(14:48):
take the name of the Lord in vain. Don't take
the name of Yahweh in vain. And when we say
I am and say something other than what he created,
Remember he created man in his image and he says
it twice. That's something to get to know about God.
That when he says it twice, that's how it is immutable, irrefutable.
(15:11):
Can object all you want, you can fast and pray
all you want, But when he says it twice, that's
how it is. So that he made us in his image,
so that when we go saying I am, I'm about
to drop a heavy one on you. We're taking the
Lord's name in vain. He puts his glory on us,
(15:36):
marked his name. How dare we say something else? And
so this particular book, whenever people just see the cover
I am, they think it's about the I am Him.
This particular book is about you, all the ways that
(16:03):
you are. As a matter of fact, the subtitle you
probably can't see it here. I am who God says
I am. And in this book are all these different
statements and scriptures about who God says I have another
book just like this. It says you are you are
(16:24):
who God says you are, and God had me write it,
you are me talking to you or him talking to you.
And then understanding, I am so either way who God
says you are. That's what's so, that is what's true.
(16:45):
That is what we want to live, what we want
to say, what we want to believe, what we want
to hope. Okay, so here we go. First mention a
fountain and actually I'm a back up, so it's sixteen seven,
(17:10):
So I'm going to read verse seven, but then I'm
going to go back and read the process Genesis sixteen
seven and the Angel of the Lord found her by
a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain
(17:30):
in the way to Sure. Now, there's a whole lot
going on there just in that one verse, and when
we read them, we're not living them, even though we
have in the New Covenant and also in the Old Covenant.
But we have in the New Covenant that talks about
us being living word. So I'm going to read this
(17:54):
and I'll tell on me now as far as my
testimony about it is, whenever I read this, I didn't
like it, and I didn't want to agree, except for
that I had sense in a I'm not a fool.
I had sense enough to know to agree with God
and agree with his word. But I also recognize that
I didn't like it, and I didn't agree. And I
(18:16):
kept asking God, as I do whenever I see something
that's Him and I don't like it and I don't agree,
I ask Him to work that in me. I repent,
even though I know that that's a false repentance because
repenting is a turnaround. And I still think what I think,
(18:37):
and I don't like it. And yet the other day,
well the other week. Now, sitting next to someone who
lives in she doesn't know that she moves in, lives
in what I term prophetic revelatory or the the prophetic revelatory,
(19:02):
and just sitting down next to her, and we don't
get the fellowship much just sitting down next to her.
Something came up. This was in a pastor's group, all
pastors and leaders. Something came up about Fountain Hill, an
area called Fountain Hill, and automatically, me being me, I
(19:26):
went to the first mention. Since I know that where
God first mentions it in his word, that's the nucleus
of it everywhere. Now, mind you, they're not even talking
about his word. They're talking about a municipality here where
I am, And I want the definition God who made
(19:50):
the heaven and earth, the heavens and the earth, and
then gave us dominion in the earth and the heaven. Well,
because I know what I know about that, I right
away went to see the first mention to understand something
about this little triangular municipality called Fountain Hill, to know
(20:11):
something about this church in Fountain Hill. And so I'm
going to read verse seven again just to help connect
the dots, and then I'm going to read the whole
living out what God said about the fountain. But sixteen
(20:33):
Genesis sixteen seven and the Angel of Yahweh found her
by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the
fountain in the way to share. Now, right there, you
see that the first mention of fountain, there's some things
at least two different things that are mentioned about it
(20:58):
as to the location and all that. So most of
us don't recognize that our lives are like that, the hope,
our hopes are like that, our faith is like that,
our desires are like that. So sixteen one. Now Sarah,
(21:19):
I'm gonna call her Sarah. I know the pronunciation is Sarah.
I Sarah Abram's wife. Notice that's Abram, not Abraham. He's
not Abraham yet. Sarah, Abram's wife bear him no children.
And she had a handmaid. And this isn't a slave
in case, I don't get to look all that up
(21:40):
for us, because there are okay, she had an handmaid,
an Egyptian important whose name was Hagar. And Sarah said
to Abram, now, Yadweh hath restrained me from bearing I
(22:06):
pray thee go in to my maid. It may be
that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened
to the voice of Sarah, I oh, pardon of Sarah.
And Sarah, Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian notices.
(22:30):
He lets you know that more than once after Abram
had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and
gave her to her husband Abram, to be his wife.
I don't know if you see these changes here. And
he went in onto Hagar, and she conceived. And when
(22:52):
she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised
in her eyes and Sarah said, unto Abram, my wrong
be upon THEE. Your fault. Pardon. The scripture doesn't say
it's your fault. That's what she's saying. Though, my wrong
(23:15):
be upon THEE. I have given my maid into thy bosom.
And when she saw that she had conceived, I was
despised in her eyes. Yahweh, judge between me and you,
me and THEE. No, she's not kidding. But Abram said
(23:37):
to her, Sarah, behold, thy maid is in thy hands.
Do with her as it pleases THEE. And when Sarah died,
hardly with her. And it doesn't say harshly the word
is hardly mean the same thing. She fled from her face.
(24:01):
And the Angel of the Lord, pardon me. The Angel
of Yahweh, the founder by a fountain of water first mentioned,
first mentioned fountain, found her by a fountain of water
in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to
(24:21):
sure And he said, he I'm talking about the Angel
of Yahweh. He said, Hagar, Sarah's maid. Whence camest thou
where are you coming from? And where wilt thou go?
(24:44):
Where are you going? And the way he asked it,
it's like, and where do you think you're going. And
he said unto her, Hagar, Sarah's maid, whence camest thou,
And whither whither wilt thou go? And she said, I
flee from the face of my mistress Sarah. And the
(25:07):
Angel of the Lord said, unto her, return to thy mistress,
and submit thyself under her hands. And the Angel of
the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly,
(25:30):
that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the
Angel of the Lord said, unto her, pardon me. And
the Angel of Yahweh said unto her, behold thou art
with child, and she'll bear a son, and shall call
his name Ishmael, because Yahweh hath heard thy affliction. And
(25:56):
he'll be a wild man. He will be a wild man,
his hand be against every man, and every man's hand
against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of
all his brethren. And she called the name of Yahweh
that spake unto her. Noticed a change, and she called
(26:21):
the name of Yahweh that spake unto her, thou art Eloheim,
pardon me, Thou Eloheim seest me. And she said, have
I also here looked after him that seeth me, she's
(26:43):
making a declaration a question. Have I also here looked
after him that seeth me? Wherefore the well was called?
And let me see if I can have away pronounce
right vera ha LeRoi behold, it is between Kadish and
(27:06):
buried or buried, And I actually well, I can go
to the end of the verse. And Hagar beer Abram's son,
and Abram called his name his son's name, which Hagar
beer Ishmael, and Abram was fourscore and six years old
(27:29):
when Hagar bear him Ishmael. Okay, So I read the
whole chapter on that one. Now, there's a whole lot
of stuff going on in there. In the first mention. Now,
the first thing that I want to mention to you
is that when you're going through a thing and you
just want you're asking God for the resolution and for
the solution and for the area understanding and to bring
you out, you're not necessarily expecting the Angel of Yahweh.
(27:56):
And sometimes when you look up angel of the Lord,
sometimes it's an angel a messenger of Yahweh. And the
difference between a messenger of Yahweh he's it's kind of
like the police carrying their badge that represents the whole
police force or represents you know, all of that, not
just him standing there. Sometimes the Angel of the Lord,
(28:20):
it's like that. It's a messenger, whether it's a spirit being,
a host of heaven or a human being messenger of Yahweh.
But he's got that badge that represents the whole thing
of Yahweh. And I do want to remind you that
(28:41):
when God introduced Yahweh Lord, he didn't introduce Yahweh by itself.
The first name or title, whatever you want to call it,
God introduced God introducing is Elohem, God capital g. Second
one is Rua Eloheim. Oh. I know, we like to
(29:03):
say Father's son, holy ghost. However, when you look at
what God revealed in his word, it is Eloheim, Rua Eloheim,
and then Yahweh Elohem. And I'll give you a heads
up because in Isaiah we learn and the government will
be uponished shoulders. He says it twelve times twelve was
(29:26):
the number of governments. We don't know it right then
when he says Yahweh Elohem, we learned that. Further, however,
the third revelation of Lohem of his name titles whichever
way you want to call it. The first is Eloheim God,
(29:47):
the second is Rua Eloheim spirit of God. The third
is Yahweh Lohem, Lord God. So back, this Angel of
the Lord. Lord is the one who ratifies covenant and
keeps covenant. Remember Jesus said, I'll never leave you nor
(30:08):
forsake you, even unto the ends of the earth. So
he keeps the covenant. He's the one who gives the covenant.
But he's the one who keeps the covenant. And so
it's the Angel of the Lord. Now you're gonna know.
I'll give your heads up. Now you're gonna know that
(30:30):
this is him. This is him. He's coming with a
message and one of the things that we may not
know yet. But message, it doesn't go away. It resonates
with you. It stays with you. If you got it
in your head, if you received it in your head,
it's gonna stay in your head. And if something causes
you to lose it out of your head, like forget,
(30:51):
you're gonna need to know about those things what God
says about forgetting. However, the message, when it resonates in
your heart, when it's given and it's in your heart,
it stays in your heart. It's there. It's there when
you're thinking about it, when you're not thinking about it.
It's there when you feel it, and when you don't
feel it, okay, and when you get it in your
spirit or your soul. And I just did a course
(31:14):
on soul and spirit to understand because I'm hearing people
lately mix up the two or say the one, but
then bring a scripture for the other. And it's not
that they're wrong anyway. I want you to know that
when God's giving message, when the Angel of the Lord,
(31:35):
the Angel of Yahweh, when he comes, and it's he
himself when he comes as an angel. The whole aspect
of message and messenger is that it resonate, is that
it stays, and it doesn't stay the same. It grows,
It expands height, length, death, and breadth. Okay. And then
(31:57):
there's other arenas and avenues to know and understand things
of God, things from God, things about God, things about
things that are God's. All of that, and more importantly,
all of that is lived. Some of it's lived out
you and me right here and now. Other of it
(32:19):
is lived out in our generations or and in our
time times and timing. Remember, God made a promise to Abram,
and you can go study it so that if you
know it, you know it, and if you don't know it,
you can go find it out. God made a promise
(32:41):
to Abram, and it had a time schedule to it,
and here Moses is born in that time, and you
know God does this. You might not know that you
know God does this, but you know. The scripture lets
you know that Jesus was born in the fullness of time.
And like this first mention of fountain, the fullness of
time has more to do with than the fact that
(33:03):
he's fully god fully man. I mean to even get
to know and understand that a woman actually carried him
in her body, in her womb. A man did not
(33:25):
what's the word I'm looking for, the modern word I'm
looking for. Anyway, it was not the essence of a
man that fertilized the woman's egg, the mother's egg. You
want to understand these things, All of these things go
(33:45):
on when the first mention is there. So here that
first mention a fountain. It has to do with the
backstory that all these years have gone by. Sarah knows
that she's chosen, She knows that she's to beloved, So
(34:07):
why no children? Whoa what? And she also knows society,
the society she lives in. She knows the rules of society.
And if you're blessing, if you're all that, you're going
to have a ton of children. I want to use
a scripture of the analogy a myriad of children. But anyway,
(34:29):
and now it hasn't happened, and there's a shame on you.
Oh yeah, there's judgmental there's a judgmentalness on you. And
people feel justified in their judgmental And here's another thing.
You want to know about that, because it's how everybody thinks.
Everybody knows that. Well, you want to go by the word.
This is why I'm in the habit of going to
(34:51):
the Word to find out the nucleus and the ongoing
what God revealed. Especially, and I mean not because of
what everybody else thinks, because I know that I have
a thought about it, and I want to think what
God thinks. And when I read this, when I read
this passage, I didn't like it. I didn't like it
at all, because I live on a day and time
when somebody treats you bad, and that's where you live.
(35:13):
We have whole homes, whole houses, whole apartment complexes dedicated
for people who aren't treated right in their home, where
they can go and don't have to be treated harshly.
And the Scriptures says it here so that we know
Sarah dealt with her hardly, and that doesn't mean hardly
(35:34):
at all, harshly. Do I need to look it up
for you, You can look it up. And Sarah's want
to set this up. She's someone who came up with this.
We God's people. We come up with ideas and solutions
to things, and maybe they're God's solution and maybe not.
(35:55):
We normally think they are. We think the things that
we come up with are good ideas. And to stay
with what I want to bring to you today, the
first mention of fountain to let you know that there's
a whole lot to it. There's a backstory to the
(36:15):
things going through right now. I'm dealing with people, and
each one thinks they're the only one that I'm dealing
with in that way. I'm dealing with people who are
different from what we'd like to call the average person,
and each one of them keeps insisting that they're not different.
(36:37):
We're all the same. We're just like everybody. Well, no
you're not, and each one of them, taking them through
the scriptures, everybody isn't the same as everybody else, even
with us all being made in His image. Come on,
(37:01):
let me give you a quick example so that I
can move on to a fountain. I already mentioned the
churches in the Book of Revelation. He who has an heir,
let him hear what the Spirit says to the church
as well. In the first chapter of the Book of Revelation,
you find that that is the revelation of Jesus Christ,
and it's the revelation that the Father gave to him,
(37:25):
and he gave it to him for a specific purpose,
which looks like it could be different or added to
the purpose. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
from Isaiah. Okay, when you look at that first chapter
of Revelation, there is a complete well I don't want
to use the word complete for the way that we think.
(37:48):
I want to use the expression. There is a head
to toe description of Jesus Christ. And I don't mean
that literally, because if you look at it literally, he's
going to show you that he revealed some things about
the head and not just being the head, but about
(38:09):
head that we could learn we don't usually, but anyway,
and he revealed some things about his feet head to toe.
That literally, but I just now used it as a description.
So when you go to the seven churches and Jesus
is talking to the seven churches, each one has a
different revelation. Seven churches, each one has a different revelation
(38:34):
of Jesus Christ than the other one. No wonder he
says he was in hear. Let him hear what the
spirit says to the church is because my revelation of
Jesus Christ, I'm saved, safetified, filled with the Holy ghost.
And back when I got saved, that that phraseology filled
(38:56):
with the Holy ghosts offended. And I'll say it, it
offended Japath in the earth. Now you need to go
to the scripture where God names who Japeth is. It
offended because they had taught each other through Europe fourteenth
(39:19):
to eighteenth century Europe. They had taught each other what
to think and how to think about mankind, and had
taught that what we today call indigenous people were stupid
and don't know anything, and savages and so on and
so forth, not knowing and realizing very much. So indigenous
(39:41):
people moved in the revelation of God. Like Hagar here
had experience with the Angel of Yahweh, and enough experience
that she grouped the name. Remember I told you in
Genesis and Elohem reveals names. It's the Angel of Yahweh
(40:11):
that spoke with her and dealt with her. And when
she gives a name to the fountain and the place,
she says, Eloheim, So she knows something that we kind
of have forgotten today over the ages, that they're one. Oh,
(40:32):
we know they're one, but we know it our way
Father's son, holy ghost. And by the way, when Eloheim
introduced rual Halloheim, he didn't say holy. Oh he's holy,
Yes he is. However, the aspect the nucleus that he
(40:52):
wanted us to understand about him rule Hellohem, the spirit
of God had to do with that, because we already
understand that Eloheim is holy and the aspects of him
are holy. Are holy? Want you to understand that so
(41:19):
that when you get to places or people or things
in the world where people look like they're moving in
God's power but it's not holy. Everything about him is holy.
So if it's about him it's holy. And if it's
power and it's not holy, it's not him. And guess
(41:40):
what he reigns. When I say rains, I'm talking about it.
He's in control, has control, hasn't lost control, hasn't given
up control. And if you're seeing some power manifested and
you know that it's not holy, oh, he's in control.
(42:00):
And I want you to know one of the ways
God brings judgment because he's always just and holy. Remember
the time of the Emirates were not yet full that
he didn't judge the people and people's but he made
a promise to Abram. Remember Egypt, the Pharaoh. God knew
(42:28):
his heart. God let him show it out. God let
him do the evil that was in his heart. So
he judges actual action, not judging a thought. Judging the
brings judgment upon the actual action. So that when God
(42:52):
destroys a thing, you understand that that was a cancerous thing,
that was a dead thing, that was a thing that
couldn't continue to go on. You don't just think so
because you believe God, because you have faith. God is just.
(43:15):
He wants us to know this, and he's not trying
to prove himself. He doesn't have to prove himself to anybody.
Justice is like that. Remember, when you want to bring
about about justice, you don't just let it be a thought. No, No,
that thing has to show itself to be what it
(43:39):
is to be to take to qualify for judgment sentence. Okay.
In the United States, that's the way and the why
our laws started out the way they are. We've gone,
(44:00):
We've gone so askew in so many ways. However, we
started out governmenting. Yeah. I didn't mean to say that,
but yes I did. Government team God's way, and we
learned it from the Hebrews. We learned it. Okay, So
(44:24):
here we go, Angel of the Lord, and oh, I
was about to share with you how we know that
it was actually him, actually yahweh, and not just a messenger.
He's coming as messager because all of those things about
messenger are at play here. There's some other things to
(44:44):
know in your head, to know in your heart, to
know in your soul that are supposed to activate your
spirit and activate your mind, which, by the way, neurology
today lets you know, activates different things in your body
and your nervous system and your muscle system in your
I don't know what to call it, but your blood
system and especially in a lot of things need to
(45:07):
be hydrated in order to work right. And because hydration
is so simple to us, we don't pay attention to it.
And neurology is now recognizing that a whole lot of
knee surgery, bone surgery wouldn't have to be if we
would just hydrate. However, the interruption, like feelings and emotions
and going through a whole bunch of stuff, if you
don't remember what God said so that your faith is
(45:28):
in action and instead fear is in action, it blocks
different systems, something as simple as a system that makes
it so that your knee gets hydrated, and when your
knee doesn't get hydrated, certain other things don't happen, and
the knee muscles mess up to the point that your doctor,
(45:49):
your surgeon, is going to say you need surgery, and
what you need is hydration. What you need, anyway, is
to remember his promise, and if you don't know it,
to remember it, then ask him and ask him for wisdom,
because he promised he'd give it to you without fussing
(46:10):
at you. And I realize right now I sound like
I'm fussing. I don't like being one of those kind
of preachers at Fussus. However, I want us to get
rid of, get rid of everybody type thinking, society thinking,
get rid of what the Europeans, how they taught us
what to think and how to think and what to
(46:31):
thinking about. And we don't even know that we've subjected
ourselves because so much time has gone on, and that
brings me back to the fountain. Time has to play
out here and we don't like it that way. She
ran away because she was being treated harshly, not just
(46:52):
being treated badly, being treated harshly. And Abram I think,
I think in this as a husband, he was wiser
than most husbands know how to be. Just agree with her.
I'm not so sure that for the way that the
(47:13):
scripture records that he said it to her, I'm not
so sure that he got it from God, because later
when it happens and Sarah says, I don't like it,
and I'm not putting up with it. It was Eloheen
that told Abram do what she says. But right here
this isn't that way. And I think Abram's being a
(47:35):
wise husband and just let her have a way, let
her do what she wants to do so again. Whenever
I would read this, I would be so upset with it,
because why wouldn't. She's already gone, she's already out, Angel
(47:56):
of the Lord. How come you don't make a way
for her, show her back to her hometown. She was
on the way to her hometown. She was on the
right in the right desert to get to her hometown.
Why do you send her back? And then I used
to used to not like it that for what I
know about what when God calls you by name, and
(48:17):
when God says by name, he's got something so lined
up for you that it's lined up from Earth to Heaven.
It's lined up in time and times and relation and relations. Rather,
it's personal and all of that, all of that. So
I've learned that about when God uses the name. You
see when you realize that the word of God is
(48:38):
quick and powerful and sharper than any two urged sword.
When you understand that study to show yourself approved under God,
a workman that needs not to be ashamed, right and
dividing the word of truth, that you show yourself approved
unto God. When you understand that, and then you come
to like another place that I didn't enjoy when I
first came there. In chronicles were the first ten chapter
(49:00):
is his name after name, who begat who? And names
that are outside of language. I know how to pronounce
all these names, and it's name after name after name
after name. And I had to understand, this is a
word of God, and it's powerful. It's sharper than a
two edged sword. It'll divide asunder thought, Oh, go look
up the verse. But all of those things that he
(49:20):
says his word does, and to study it. I didn't
want to study all those names, ten chapters of names, however,
recognizing recognizing man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word that proceeded that out of the mouth
of God, and understanding that this is his word. So
(49:40):
I better study it and accept it. And then I
got to find out that when you study the names,
not only do you get to know God's plan, or
you get to know where man went off of God's plan.
That's why I generally use the example that when we're
God and we're on the road, we're on the right road.
(50:02):
When there's that fork in the road, it's only a
little bit different. But when if you go off the
wrong way, most of the time in the scripture, we
are way far away from where we began the right word. Yeah,
right word, right word, and right road before we even realize.
Most people who are God's people do not mean to
(50:25):
be in error. We do not mean to be fools.
We do not mean to be an abomination. However, we
have ways and habits that are not Him, because He's
the one who said behold, remember, behold, see see see
(50:46):
as a matter of fact, in sixteen two and Sarah said,
unto Abram, Oh, she's the one who said behold, like,
look at this, look, check this out, don't ignore it.
Make sure you pay attention, which is what behold means.
When God tells us that he made us a new creature,
he says behold, he says, behold. Love you, love you,
(51:09):
love you. I'm only answering, my sweet sweet son, because
I'm on the broadcast. Hallelujah, Amen, God bless you. I
thought I wasn't, But God made away. He made away,
He made away, love you, love you. That's my first born.
And I had to stop for that one, because just
like in this that fountain, there's a whole lot to
(51:33):
the story, and the backstory is still playing out today.
He's a grown man now, and God spoke of him
before he was even conceived, so that I can believe God,
and I know I can seek God when things are
going on in his life, and I know that Wait
a minute, that's not supposed to be that way. And
like when I looked at this and I said, she's
(51:55):
treated harshly, and the Angel of Yahweh sends her back. No,
we today, we would send her to a home where
she's gonna be treated well and help her to get
her life together. You know, that's not what he did.
That's not what he said. And it's recorded right here,
and time is winding down, so I'm gonna quit run through.
(52:17):
Hopefully you go read it and you look and see
and Sarah Abram's wife right here when you look at
I just now did a study on the difference between
went in unto her and know her. Yeah, because God
(52:43):
doesn't use those terms the same way, and there's some
different kind of difference going on here. Anyway, he goes
into in verse four, I do want to skip three.
And Sarah Abram's wife, she's his wife, she is his wife.
(53:03):
Took Hagar her maid. If you know the koda Pamarabi.
These were the laws of the day. The laws of
the day are not necessarily the law of God. And
I know that we in America like to understand that
we're one nation under God. Yeah, we started out that
way in terms of our laws and way of giving law,
(53:26):
and even that we didn't have it exactly right. However,
we think that we got it all that way. No, no, no, no, no,
we don't. That's what we committed to. That's what we
vow to, and we can yield to any time we want,
because God accepted that of us, and in us we're
the ones who don't keep it and don't recognize how
(53:46):
far away we get from it our own commitment to him.
But remember yahweh Lord, he is a ratifier of the covenant,
and he is a keeper of the covenant, and he
will keep us if we repent, he'll keep us. Remember
the scripture says that if you repent, he'll cleanse you
of all unrighteousness. That's the stuff already done, the stuff
(54:08):
you're doing now, and the stuff that you're on your
way to do. Remember that the Word is a lamp
to your feet and a light to your path. And
I like to let you know that a lamp to
your feet to show you where you're standing, and a
like to your path that show you where you're going. Ah,
let me get back to the scripture here. I want
us to understand that the fountain had a whole lot
(54:31):
of time and a whole lot of process. Abram, being wise,
told her here, hey, guard dude, you want, go ahead,
do what you want with her. And then when she
did conceive, See, Abram didn't treat her like just a maid.
(54:51):
But Sarah was the one that gave. If you, time
is almost up, so I don't want to keep stopping
to show it to you. You go to it and
read it and you'll see it. She didn't just give
Hagar as a maid. She gave her as a wife.
And these are days and times where there were laws
(55:16):
that a wife is a wife, a slave is a slave,
an employee is an employee type of thing. There were
laws about this relationships, so that the scripture is not
just willie nilly using any kind of terminology. And Sarah,
(55:39):
Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid. That's more like employee.
An Egyptian God's not mentioned in that for no reason. Okay,
after Abram had Dwelt ten years. God's letting us know
the timeline here. It's important not just to know how
old he is, because he years old by those kinds
(56:02):
of terms, and gave her to her husband, Abram, to
be his wife. So she goes from maid to wife,
not just because of some physical something going on. I
want you to recognize. And he went in unto her
(56:24):
and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived,
her mistress. Now we're back to this employee was despised
in her eyes. And if any men are listening, I
want you to know, it's because he treated her too nice.
You treated her like a wife, your wife said, Your
(56:46):
wife said go ahead. And not only did you go ahead,
you treated her not like an employee, like a wife.
And so Sarah, she said, my wrong, Oh I'm wrong,
But it be upon you. You're the one who treated
her so well. And one of the things that was
(57:07):
known then that neurology is learning now that love, thy
loving kindness is better than life. That's on God's side.
So he gives us to know and understand that loving
kindness moves in life. I'm a hugger, and I let
people know hugs. Minister life, hugs, love minister's life. So God,
(57:30):
thy loving kindness, thy loving kindness is better than life.
That's see heaven Earth's side, the earth and Earth and
heaven side that he gave us dominion. Loving one another
gives life. It moves life. It moves life, not just
(57:51):
and the life that Sarah recognized, not just that she conceived,
but this elevation and this sweetness, disappreciation m and so Sarah,
Sarah said, my wrong be upon you. I mean, I
said to take her as a wife, but I didn't
(58:11):
mean for you to treat her all like that. And
now I'm not just talking about gifts. I'm talking about Ah,
here we go. I have given my maid unto thy bosom.
Do you see that? Not just unto you to do
(58:35):
something with to accomplish a goal, unto thy bosom. And
when she saw that she had conceived, because you did
treat her like unto your bosom, I was despised in
her eyes. See this is why we want to ask
(58:57):
your way, Yeah, wayh your way. I want to know
what the Lord, And she said, yahweh judge between me
and THEE and he did. And when you go and
finish the verse, I want you to understand the fountain.
You want always God's way, and you might not always
like what he has to say. Go back, I didn't
(59:19):
like it. And then on top of that, the son
you have, he's going to be a warrior, war with everybody,
at war with everybody, and everybody with him. But you
know what, that's how that's his personality. That's what he's
going to be like. Now see, thank God, I have
a sweet son. That's part of what God said about him.
(59:40):
But then he said some other things and it scared me,
and I know to go to him to know the fountain,
the passage of time, the watering, the promise, ask Yahweh
your way, Yahweh sa
