I AM a New Creation

 Jesus said none was greater than John Baptist but whoever born in kingdom of God is greater! What was John?  A prophet who did no miracles but announced, baptized and watch Jesus walk away.  We announce as witnesses where He went the I Am is in us!

Abimelech's Dream 
God often speaks prophetically to people in dreams and visions. When Abimelech, King of Gerar, took Sarah from Abraham's household, he was not informed that she was Abraham's wife. But God set the record straight. Every woman in his household was barren as long as Sarah was there. When Abimelech obeyed the dream, the curse was lifted. 

Genesis 20:3 - "But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife." 

Abimelech of Gerar

Abimelech took Sarah from Abraham. God shut the wombs of the women in his household. Then God told Abimelech he was a dead man if he touched Sarah - she was a man's wife. Abimelech asked Abraham why he had said she was his sister. "I thought they would slay me for my wife's sake." Abimelech returned Sarah unharmed, gave Abraham sheep, oxen, menservants, womenservants and a thousand pieces of silver, then said, "my land is before thee, dwell where it pleaseth thee." Divine intervention!

Genesis 20:7 - "...restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet." 

Pray To Remove A Curse

King Abimelech took Sarah into his household, not knowing she was Abraham's wife. God caused all the women in his household to become barren, and warned him that he was a dead man if he touched Sarah. God ordered the king to have Abraham pray for him to cure the offense. God really does move to protect His chosen people. Even so, He directs us to pray for divine intervention. When Abraham prayed, the women's barrenness was cured. 

Genesis 20:7 - "...and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live." 



Hagar

Since God had not given her children, Sarai offered her Egyptian maid to Abraham as a surrogate mother. Hagar despised Sarai after birthing Ishmael. Abraham instructed Sarai to handle Hagar. Sarai dealt harshly with Hagar,
so she ran away. God commanded Hagar to return and submit. She stayed thirteen years, until Sarai bore Isaac. The day Sarai weaned Isaac, Ishmael mocked her. After Hagar's despite and Ishmael's mocking, Sarai demanded they be cast out. 

Genesis 21:12 - "God said... all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called."

Shall Not The Judge Of All The Earth Do Right?

Abraham pleaded with God to save Sodom if only "fifty righteous" could be found in the city. "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" Lot's family was the only righteous there. Abraham humbly renegotiated to save Sodom for only forty-five souls. Then forty. "Let not the LORD be angry." Thirty-five. Twenty. "Oh, let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak." Ten! God approved TEN! Apparently, Lot did not have even ten descendants, so why did Abraham stop praying? Ask God for what you need! 

Genesis 18:33 - "And Abraham returned unto his place." 

The Destruction of Sodom

The Contemporary English Bible renders Genesis 19:4-5 thus: "Before Lot and his guests could go to bed, every man in Sodom, young and old, came and stood outside his house and started shouting, "Where are your visitors? Send them out, so we can have sex with them!" God already knew their wicked hearts. That is why the angels came - to destroy it! 

Genesis 19:13 - "For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it." 

Lot's Wife

When God delivered Lot and his family from the destruction of Sodom, the angel instructed them not to look back. Tragically, Lot's wife looked back, and "she became a pillar of salt." Our generation would almost certainly fail that test. When God says, "Come out," He says, "touch not the unclean thing." God does not like to see us yearning for the things He delivered us from. Jesus said those who look back are not fit for the Kingdom. Be warned. 

Genesis 19:17 - "Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, ...lest thou be consumed." 

Lot's Daughters

Sodom was destroyed. God told Lot to go to Zoar, but Lot disobeyed. He and his daughters went into a mountain cave. His daughters complained of their isolation. They made their father drunk, and both bore children by him. The older daughter bore Moab. The younger bore Benammi - father of the Ammonites. This pathetic incestuous scenario came about because of Lot's fears. Disobedience always comes at a high price. 

Genesis 19:30 - "Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar."
