💥 Podcast: Child of the flesh ... and Child of the promise.

 

Sitting together ... both saying they are Christians but very different are two groups of people.

One of the promise of God as Isaac.

The other as child of the flesh as Ishmael.

Child of the flesh: Goes forward at church and joins the church, sometimes even being baptized.  But still the child of the flesh, doing this by the will of man, by his own will or will of his parents at church or by others.  (Often he seem a little off.)

 

Child of the Spirit: God speaks to him revealing a truth from God, and changes him, causing him to be born of the Holy Spirit of God.

The difference between the two.

 

The child of the flesh hears a word from God, and ends up reasoning that Word away because it seems "foolish" to him.  He comes up with another plan.

 

I Cor. 2:14   But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

 

The child of the Spirit hears a word from God ... believes God has just spoken to him ... so he does that which is compatible with the word he has heard, resisting all other words that would take him in a different way.

 

Genesis 12  

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him;

Romans 4:3 

 

Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
