Hidden Under The “Shadow” Chapter 9 For This We Have Jesus

It has been quite some time since I have place up a posting up on one of   Mother Wilson teachings from her book called, “Hidden Under the Shadow.”  Mother Wilson wrote this book in 1993 and she placed the book in my hands November 11, 1994. Within the little stable little white booklet, that she was so proud of was a personal message, handwritten, inside of the book for me.   Little did we know that when she gave me the booklet that God would use me to place her message on the internet because internet had not yet became a way of life.  Mother Wilson just knew that God would extend her ministry and that she would reach a large group of people for Him.  I remember her telling me every time I would visit her in that storefront.  Mother Wilson would constantly in a faithful manner, confess to me that God was going to use her to reach a large amount of people for Jesus Christ,   Guess what? God used me to help Him keep His promise to her. 

Please read Mother Wilson message.  Thank you Pastor Tate.

Hebrew 11:13 King James Version

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.  

Hidden Under The “Shadow”

Chapter 9

For This We Have Jesus

When impossible things become possible, they are made possible through the power of faith. In Mark 9:23, Jesus said unto him: IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH.” This includes us as well, there are some things that are beyond human power.  But Divine Power can bring them to pass.  He is our Lord and Christ and there is not a person on the face of the fill himself with God’s Spirit.  His Grace give freely to those who ask Him in faith.  Faith is the Key, required to walk a strong walk with God.

Jesus can satisfy the deepest longing and answer the deepest question in our lives.  Some may say, I have Faith, but nevertheless God knows our hearts, and when He see fit, He will give us what we need, read Luke 18:18-30.  One of the Great teachings of the Bible is that a person cannot save Himself without God.  A man cannot by food works, earn salvation, nor by sacrificing himself.  Salvation comes from God’s Graces as a gift to man in response to his or her faith in God, and obedience to His Word.  It is in our Fears, that we believe God won’t do it, or beliefs in what others might say, or could it possibly be the fact that we just don’t have the faith to believe.  We must be Mountain Movers.  We can become confused as to what God wants us to say or do, or whether He wants us to give up all our possessions to be saved, or just simply have faith.  When He sees we are confused, He answers to all of us in Mark 10:27. WITH MEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT NOT WITH GOD, FOR WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.”

It is time, that we as children of God, come face to face with ourselves, and stand up and act upon what God has given us in His Word.  Mark 11:23-24.   This includes living by the Word.  I myself have to say: “I can have anything if I just believe.” Don’t limit God.  Let us stand firm on the Word of God.  We all need Power beyond ourselves.  This power comes from prayer.  Although we may utter words, and sincerely plea from our Hearts, the answer to our prayers come, only from God.  Don’t look at the mountain, look at Jesus, don’t look at the circumstances, look at Jesus, Let us keep our eyes steadfast on the Lord. We need to walk on Spiritual waters as Peter did, Matthew 14:28.  I can guarantee, that you will have the thrill of your lifetime because this will allow God to do what He wants to do.  I am just waiting to see all He is going to do for us.  There is no power on earth, no demon in hell that can stop Him.  Yes, our faith, and you have faith, the waves cannot override us.  We can make it, walking on Spiritual waters, if we but simply keep our eyes on Jesus. 

Jesus has said in His word: everyone that hath forsaken houses, brethren, sister, father, mother, wife, children, or land, for My sake: shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall receive everlasting life, Matthew 19:29.  In other words, what He has prepared for the faithful ones is so great, that we cannot compare it to anything we could ever sacrifice, for God in this life.   We have to come as a little child. He is our Father, tell Him you have need of more faith.  God has promised to those who will live for Him, an unending life of bliss; Impossible with man, But with God, all thins are possible to him that believes.   “BECAUSE THOU HAST MADE THE LORD, WHICH IS MY REFUGE, EVEN THE MOST HIGh THY HABITATION; THERE SHALL NOT EVIL BEFALL THEEE, NEITHER SHALL ANY PLAGUE COME NIGH THY DWELLING.  FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER THEE, TO KEEP THEE IN ALL THEY WAYS.  Ps.91:9-11. Walk while it is yet called daylight, for when the night falls NO man can see.  I pray, that before the sun set you will find your place Hidden Under the Shadow of the Almighty  A-MEN.

Prophet, Prophecy

What is Prophecy?

A couple of months ago one of my Face Book friends asked me a question.

Pastor Tate what is a Prophet?  Today I felt the Lord wanted me, to address the question. 

Some people have had the experience of prophesying but that does not make them a prophet.  Some times the environment can be set, through praise and worship where people in that environment will bring forth a prophecy because there is a high anointing or presence of God in the environment. However, this person may not walk in the office of a prophet.  King Saul is a good example of a person that was in an environment full of prophets who were prophesying and he too prophesied, but was not a prophet.

I Samuel 19:21-24 King James

21.  And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

22.  Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

23.  And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

24.  And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

 The word “Naioth” means “dwelling.” “Ramah” means “high.”  The Spirit of the Living God was there, so even evil people can prophesizes if God has chosen them to do such and be accurate. 

Many people who have experience this, often think and believe that they are prophets and will go around giving people false prophecies and not be in a “Naioth” or “Ramah” environment because God used them for a certain situation.  However, little do people know that there is a great difference in prophesying and actually being called into the five-fold ministry as a prophet.

 Ephesians 4:11-14 King James Version

11.  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12.  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13.  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14.  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

A Prophet is someone who speaks by divine inspiration.  A Prophet is someone who is an interpreter of the will of God.  Prophets are use of God as an intermediary (go-between) with humanity delivering new founded knowledge from the supernatural, accordingly to the Word of God, to other human beings.

The English word for “Prophet” or “seer,” is “nabi” “roch,” and “hozeh.” “Nabi” literally means “to bubble up” this word describes one who is stirred up in the spirit.  “Bubbling” up means to speak and to declare, hopefully it is the Word of God and not your own words you are using in order to impress folks.  The Word of God is to be spoken to others in order to build them up in their spirit man and to give them a desire to get closer to God.  

“Bubbling up” means “speaking to declare,” therefore, a prophet is an announcer; a person who pours forth the declaration of God according to the Word of God. Notice I said, accordingly to the Word of God. 

“Roeh”

“Roeh” means “to see” or “to perceive” describes one who is a “revealer” of “secrets,” “revelation” one who “envision.”

Prophet is just a person or it can be sometimes a thing, and God sometimes uses things, to prophesized with; one who speaks for another, a representative who carries a message, an expounder of God’s Word this is a “prophet.”

Acts 1:1-5 King James Version 
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.1  5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Name the mountain where Jesus is to return on His second coming?

Answer:  Mt. of Olives

Acts 1:9-12 King James Version

  9. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

After Jesus ascension the disciples where warned by two angels to depart, and to set their minds upon his second coming

 10. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

They accordingly return, and, giving themselves to prayer, choose Matthias apostle in the place of Judas

 12. Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. 13. And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 14. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Acts Chapter 1

Introduction:

I told you before we started talking about Father’s Day with our topic “Can You Really Have a Family without the Father in the Midst?”  that Acts recorded, and indicated to us that it was Luke who wrote the book of Acts. The Book was the second of two volumes that Luke wrote, the first being Luke’s Gospel. Here are the scriptures that confirm this.

Luke 1-1-4 King James Version

1. Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things, which are most, surely believed among us, 2. Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word three. It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4. That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Acts 1:1-5 King James Version

 In this portion of scriptures Christ is preparing his apostles for his ascension into heaven. Jesus gathers them together at the Mount Olivet, and commands them to go into Jerusalem for the sending down of the Holy Ghost, a promises after a few days to send it, and then Jesus ascends into heaven right before their very eyes.

 1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.1  5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

I also talked about how Luke had written Acts in first and third person; that Luke was with Paul on some of his journeys.  

What is the Value of teaching about Acts?

First, we need an intelligent understanding of the New Testament. From some of the teaching I been hearing, especially concerning the work of the Holy Spirit, many people do not have a very good understanding of the Holy Spirit or of the role of the church. The book of Acts gives us a better understanding of the Holy Spirit and how the church has affected World History through the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives and bring forth healing.

It is in Acts that Luke places before us what the church is to be and do. Luke explains to us the missions and the commission of the church. Luke begins by giving us the mandate’s and the source, with the emphasizes on the divine power that is needed to be  apply in a manner consistent with its purpose or design, and Luke therefore portrays the power of the Holy Ghost, who divinely worked in us and  who brought results in individual lives and in the dynamic fellowship that is in the church. Lack of change is a lack of the Holy Spirit in the life of an individual or a corporate body of Believers. This is what Luke and Acts shows us. No change in a individual person or corporate body of believers means there is no Holy Spirit.  You cannot be in the presences of the Lord and there not be a change in your behavior or character.  

Luke begins to explain to us the building of the church by the Holy Spirit, by giving us a brief history of what happen prior to the empowering of the Holy Spirit. It is important for us to understand and know that it is the power of the Holy Spirit that empowers “give or delegate power or authority to the church”. We need to understand that the church must complete the mandate to preach the gospel over the whole world and to preach its truth and not our own. This is what we have been given by the  power of the Holy Spirit to do.

Preparation for Pentecost

Luke, with divine skills, begins in Acts by getting us to look backwards; Luke lays the groundwork for his second volume of historical narrative of the beginning of the church, as we know it today. In this "beginning, in the beginning of Acts" Luke centering on preparation for the coming of the empowering Holy Spirit of the living God. We need to hear his claim that by the Spirit's power the church will fulfill its mandate of preaching the gospel to the ends of the earth. What a difference that will make in how we offer or receive this message! However, I do not see the church talking about the Holy Spirit as much and the sad part is this, there are many people who are preaching who do not have the Holy Spirit and have not experience the power of the Holy Spirit in working in their lives.  

Jesus charges the disciples that they were to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth. 

Acts 1:8 King James Version

8.      However, ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Luke 1:1-5 King James Version

1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

Luke wants us to know that this was a generous church and a growing church.  This church was devoted to prayer and to the teachings of the apostles. They feared the Lord and they had respect for the laws of God. This was a generous and growing church. I have found that the generous churches are the growing churches. I have told many a pastor that if they wanted their church to grow that they needed to have a strong outreach. Many of them are so egotistical they think all they need  to do is to be able to preach and that their preaching is some how going to win people over not if you do not have the power of the Holy Ghost in it your preaching means nothing.   How are you going to win people over when you have not won God over? We win God over by being generous and then we see the church grow in membership. 

The church in Act fear God, meaning they had respect for God. People today have no respect for anything. No respect for life of the unborn from the womb. I found out last week that there was also   a tremendous disrespect for fatherhood now as in the natural so it is in the Spiritual realm.  Meaning there is no respect for the Father.   No respect for nothing. No feelings of profound respect for someone or something. It is not there. This fears; this respect for God and of God is why the early church was able to see miracles. The lack of the fear for God is the reason the church of today cannot see miracles of God. 

Acts 9:34 King James Version

34. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make they bed. And he arose immediately,

What we are seeing is the power of Jesus Christ, working through men after his ascension.

I feel God wants me to talk about the lack of fear for Him for a moment or two. 

Psalm 3:10 King James Version

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures forever.

We don’t recall the Works of the Lord, we do not understand the providence, meaning the guardianship and control exercised by a God towards this world.  We don’t understand it and to make matters worse we do not respect the idea that God is in control. What is so sad we see death all around us yet we do not fear what is beyond that grave.  We don’t know, or respect God’s covenants we do not respect God’s promise or prophecies.  If they did our government would not be trying to give Israel land away we would not be legalizing abortions, drugs and same sex marriages.     God means what he says and He is mindful of his covenant even if you and I are not. He gave that Land to Israel and He made a covenant with them concerning it.  He does not care what you think He will keep His convent with them even if it means United States biting the dust.

Redemption was given to Israel first, now it is wrought for us only for a season.  It is as foolish man woman, boy and girl and most of all a dumb nation that forgets the covenants of God.  It is the fear of the Lord that lead men and women to repentance and it is  a compromising unbelieving  church that tries to try to take that fear away.  Therefore, the church thinks it can be saved by not repenting, not having fear of the Lord  thereby not acting wisely. 

Proverbs 1:7 New International Version

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”

  

Proverbs 8: 32-35

32. Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 33.Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 35. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD”

Instead of the church teaching the nation being leaders, we are following and bringing the ways of the world into the church.  The other night I was watching one  teaching on  T.B.N network and they had this girl preaching, wearing natural color super skin tight tights and black nail polish.  Her appearance alone said to me; Holy Ghost is not done with her, and that it was not her season to be preaching, yet T.B.N. were  compromising because we have no fear of the Lord, we do not know what are the signs that a person truly has the Holy Spirit and sanctification has taken place.  I am going to stop here for right now.

Morning Cup Biblical Trivial Questions

When John was in Prison, what did he tell his disciples to ask Jesus?

Answer: Are you the One (Messiah) or do we look for another?

Matthew 11:3 King James Version

Morning Cup Faith without Works is Dead Meditation

I will work to free myself from old guilt. Knowing that I am a worthy person, I will find the strength to endure in Jesus name.

          Can You Really Have a Family Without The Father in the Midst?

For Family is a Derivative of the Word Father:

When  I use the word “derived” I am saying that the idea, language, term, or other things was developed from this word “Father” into something that is similar to it.

Now here is a play on words and I will get in to more details with this later on this week.  “Can you really have a family without the Father Mist in the Midst?”

 But right now I want to let you know that if it had not been for the “Father” there would be no "family."

No Fathers in the home is because “The Father” is not in the Home!!!! As in the natural realm so it is spiritually realm because God is creator of both realms. They run parallel with one another; the natural just reflects what is going on in the Spiritual realm.

Is the Mist within your Midst of your Family!!!

                            Mathew 18: 19-20 King James Version 

19.      Again I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

 20      For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.  

 “Can you really have a family without the Father in the midst?”    We must come to an understanding that if we are to know the role of a family, we first must understand the role of the Father.    The word family, familia, or familiar is a derivative of the word father.  When I say that familia, family or familiar is a derivative of the word father, what I am saying is that the word family, familiar  familial, has been taken from another word, the original word for the word family or familial comes from the word “Father.”  I think God is trying to tell us something.  “Can there really be a family without the father, who is the originator of the family in the midst?” 

The Word Family

The word family means a household establishment; a family is a group of people living in the same house.  A family is a social unit consisting of parents and children that they rear.  And they are supposed to be the children of the same parents.  A family is also people that have the same ancestry or marriage relatives.  Families are all of those claiming descent from a common ancestor; tribe or clan; and the lineage comes from the father.   We are the family of the house hold of Faith. “Can you really have a family without The Father in the “Midst??” Which is the location of something surrounded by other things; for example your environment. 

Familial:

Is your family familiar with God?

Familial speak of being familiar with the household, domestic, having to do with a family.  Familial or being familiar means that you are able to be friendly, informal or intimate with the people with in that group.  Familial speaks of a person having intimate knowledge of a person, or being closely acquainted with a person or persons.  The word familial means to have an encounter, to be commonly known, to be well known, or acquaintance with; to be familiar is to be attune (which means to be brought into harmony with someone.)  If you have the “Father” “Mist” “shekinah glory”  “the covering of God” in your midst (environment) you will be attune with the members in your family.  Is Jesus the “Father” the Head of your household?

God is Father

One of the titles we call God is Father.  As it is in the natural so it is in the spiritual, there can never be a real family without the “Father” in the midst (environment).   This is why we have so many divorces in today families, because “The Father” is not in the midst.  The manifestation of the present day absents fathers, reflects the spiritual conditions of most of the homes in our community.  I don’t care how much they shout and preach, “God,” “The Father” is not in their midst in the home.  What we can see, taste, touch, smell and hear is reflecting what we cannot taste, touch, smell, and see in the spiritual realm.  The fact that the divorce rate has increase over 50%, in and out of the church in the last 30 years, touches us, shows us, and speaks to our ears in a loud voice, that the “Father” is not in the midst God mist is not in their midst.

Divorce in the Church

Pastors, minister, teachers, evangelist, deacons and preachers are divorcing at an alarming rate, how can you believe God for me, how can you pray for me, if you can’t believe God for yourself, and at home in your own private life in the midst. Who isn't save, him or her? Both of you are claiming to be save, then why are you doing such a violent act and are divorcing.  Someone isn't saved, yet you both profess Christ and claim to serve Christ in the Church, yet you both live apart, in different homes.  Spreading a spirit of rejection, separation and divorce in the church, in the midst amongst Gods people. 

I must remind the reader and listener that the anointing runs from the “Head Down” to the congregation.

The anointing runs from the head down, and so does the iniquities which are the violation of God’s justice.  When leadership violates a spiritual law of God and does not repent, Satan is thus given legal right to pass on that same oppression into the church body; which is a representative of a whole spiritual man in Christ Jesus

I have seen what happens to a church when it leaders divorce. People began to take sides, and fall away from the Lord.  Arguments develop on whom was the cause of the failure of the marriage, between members.  Divorce within leadership gives the demon spirits of divorce, separation and division grounds to attack weak Christians within that congregation.  What our leaders do will affect us spiritually, because we are the body of Christ.  Theses next few scriptures expresses God’s anger towards families that do not serve or honor him by getting along. Can you really have a Family without the Father in the Midst?

 Ps. 68:8 KJV

8 .      God setteth the solitary in families he bringeth out those which

          which are bound with chains: but rebellious dwell in dry land.

Notice that God uses the word “solitary” which means something that has a firm shape and volume, that which is not hollow. Are you hollow in your thinking?  To have solitary means that you have height, weight, and lengths in the things, concerning your relationship with the Lord.   God has promise us in His word that in Him we will have solitary in our families.  “Now that’ an encouraging word?

Amos 3:2 King James Version

2.You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

The word “iniquities” means absence of moral or spiritual values.

The word  “iniquities” means morally objectionable behavior.

The word “iniquities” also means an unjust act

Can you really have a family without the "Father’s Mist in the Midst"?

 Our families and we belong to Him; God will discipline us when we are wrong.

Ephesians  3:15-16 King James Version

15      Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

         

16      That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.

Can you really have a Family without the Father in the Midst?

Matthew 18:19-20 King James Version

 19.      Again I say unto you, That if two or you shall agree on

earth as touching anything that they ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven

 20      For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

A Mother is a Wife and a Wife is a Mother Part One

Trivial Question

Question:  How long did Jesus tell thee disciples they should have watched and prayed, when they were at the Garden of Gethsemane?

Answer: One (1) Hour Matthew 26:40

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

Mother is a Wife and a Wife is a Mother

 A mother is a person who carries and gives birth to a child, then that mother then cares for that child. She must nurture the child as the child grows into adulthood. A mother is a wife; she is the female marriage partner.  In reality, this is what  a wife is supposed to be, she is to have the role of a mother. She is to love, support her husband, and their children. In addition, sexually satisfied her husband and most of all have children. Be fruitful and multiply in the earth.   There was a tremendous shame, disgrace, and dishonor that were place on a woman’s reputation, which was not able to have children within the community in which the woman lived in.  It is not that way today, the role of the mother has been perverted for the most part, the role of the mother has been strip and now you have mothers who have lost their natural affections.

We will start out talking about Sari.

Genesis 16:1-4 King James Version

1.  Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

 2.  And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

 3.  And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.

 4.  And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

 In Genesis, which means “beginnings,” the Bible talks of Sarai, being barren, and she gives Hagar to Abram “to wife.” Remember what our topic is about.  “A wife is a mother and a mother is a wife.”

We find that children always represents, newest of life.  Children and their new beginning it is the only immortality on this earth that a man or woman has.  The word “barren” in this portion of scriptures means incapable of sustaining life; ("the dead and barren Moon"). The moon has no trees, no water, and no oxygen.  Therefore, the moon cannot bring forth life or even sustain life.  This is what is what the Bible is saying when the Bible talks about a woman who is “barren.” Barren also means providing no shelter or sustenance. Sustenance meaning that what needs to be eaten to sustain a person's body; food, esp. food containing the required vitamins and energy is not there.

Being “barren” can also mean not having financial means whereby one lives.   To be “barren” means to be completely wanting or lacking.  However, for the most part when most of us heard the word “barren” in the Bible we just think of a woman who cannot have children or off springs.  Little do we know that our physical condition is usually a reflection of what is going on with us spiritually.   Sad thing about today’s society is; we are choosing to be barren.

Remember, when a woman gives life she must not only give the life, but sustain the life until it is of age and able to sustain the life itself  This is what we teach our children as the grow into teens, this is why it is such a tragedy when we see young people giving birth to a baby, because we know unless the parents of the teens intervenes the life of the baby will not be able to be sustain in a proper way in which the baby can grow up and bring forth healthy fruit in his or her life. 

I  have often watch some of these talk shows host, who makes tons of money in exploiting the lives of some of these young men, and women who come on their show.  For example, Steve Wilkos who is a break off of Jerry Springer show, a person who I think has done a lot of harm in the long run to our society.  These producers get these young women and men on their stage and bad mouth, scream at them and humiliate them, to me they are ignorant because, for the most part the reason these people are not good parents is because, they have had parents that were verbally abusive to them when they were children.  The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.  We can learn from the Bible how to raise our children and how to be a mother and wife.

These parents some, were molested and rape as children, they too saw a lot of drugs and alcohol use in the family.  They are truly the product of their environment.   If you know what the definition of a mother is then “Steve,” you would not be yelling at them telling them to get the “hell” off of your stage.

These host of these show that are not professional in helping people, in themselves need help.  There behavior is  much like the parents that these people who are doing all this weird stuff came out from or was raise in is and that is why they are mess up trying to nurture children. You don't grow up just being a good parent; you are taught how to parent by your parents.

 People reacting to poor parenting parents in this manner is not helping the children or the parent, in fact it is making the situation worse.    Remember a mother is a person who carries and gives birth to a child, then that mother cares for that child.  What does it mean to care for a child 1) care, charge, protection, guardianship -- (attention and management implying responsibility for safety; like how a bodyguard or secret service protects President Obama.  This is what a mother does, however, if you are grown and you make it to adulthood  with no parental protection, you figure in the subconscious of your mind that your child will make it too.  Those parenting skills are passed on.  Therefore, Steve you need to get off of the stage with all that yelling, this is why they are mess up.  To be a mother and a wife you must go to the Bible to get the answers you will need to make it.
