Itty Bitty Book 2 – Galatians, Chapter 4, June 10
Galatians 4:6
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father”
:7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Woo Hooo! Hallelujah! Someone give me an AMEN!!!
And then – read the rest of the chapter, remembering that the Arab/Muslims are the children of Hagar – they still live by the law, because they do not know through thier lineage anything other than their birthright ‘stolen’ from the Jews.
We are in a holy war – the sons of Ishmael fighting for their first born son rights from the sons of Isaac. It all goes back to Abraham leaning to the arm of the flesh – and then he begged God to make Ishmael’s seed as powerful as Isaac’s. In Genesis – Isaac has two sons – Jacob and Esau – and Esau turns from Abraham’s seed, and takes a wife of Ishmael. And through Jacob – there are 12 sons, 12 tribes – the Nation of Israel.
BUT God promised Ishmael leaders as well…..and he had 12 tribes, and the connection with Esau…..
Sibling rivalry, caused by parental mistakes, brings us to today’s world situation in order to bring about the rest of God’s plan for eternity.
Praise God that I am an heir of Christ, and I am a ‘son’ of God, and my heart cries out “Abba Father!”
The book is true….we just have to trust and obey!
In His hands and Under His wings,
~Christi
