partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

If you run from God, God will prepare something.

Just walla you up.

God will prepare some kind of circumstance if you are not

gonna like.

Let's look at Hegar.

Genesis 16, 8 and 9.

Now you have to know a little bit of the background of the story

although I'm gonna get into it more in detail later on.

But Abram had a promise from God that he was gonna have a child.

Only problem was Sarah and Abram were both way too old to have children.

And so I mean it was not humanly possible without a miracle.

And so they were tired of waiting.

Is anybody in this room tired of waiting?

Well you see what happens then if you're not careful when you get tired of waiting,

is you start coming up with a bright idea?

Well God's not doing nothing so I know what I'll do.

And boy that gets us in so much trouble.

And so she gave Sarah said, I know what I'll do.

I'll give Abram my handmaiden as a secondary wife.

Well I would think any woman would know better than that just right off the bat.
