Having Fellowship with the Visiting God (2)
Bible Verses
Gen 18:10 And He said, I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and then Sarah your wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent, which was behind Him. (20) And Jehovah said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah, how great it is; and their sin, how very heavy it is!
Words of Ministry
[Part 2 of 2]
As Abraham was enjoying such sweet fellowship with God, he
received revelation from Him regarding the birth of Isaac and
the destruction of Sodom. These are the two basic things
concerning which God will always deal with us. The birth of
Isaac is related to Christ, and the destruction of Sodom is
related to God's judgment upon sin. Isaac must come and Sodom
must go. This means that Christ must come in and sin must go
out. All the revelation that we have received and shall
receive from God mostly concerns these two items.
If you consider your own experience, you will find that this
is so. Whenever you have received revelation from God during
the course of your fellowship with Him, it has always
concerned Christ on the positive side and sin on the negative
side. Positively we see more of Christ and say, "I have seen
something new of Christ. How I hate that I have not lived more
by Him." This is the revelation regarding the birth of Isaac,
the revelation that Christ will be brought forth in your life.
But negatively we see our sins and say, "O Lord, forgive me.
There is still so much selfishness, hatred, and jealousy in
me. I have so many failures, shortcomings, and even sinful
things. Lord, I judge these things and want them destroyed."
This, in principle, is God's judgment upon and destruction of
sin.
