[Sermon Note] The Faith Of Sarah

Pastor Stephanie




Walk this life from faith to faith.

Warriors and not worriers


Seeing what others cannot see when we walk in faith.


We see Bank Of Heaven. We see from our spirit eyes.


It is not blind. Our spiritual eyes are very open.


God’s Word said I am healed.


GENESIS 12:1-3 NKJV

Now the LORD had SAID to Abram:

“GET OUT of your COUNTRY,

From your family

And from your father’s house,

TO a land that I will show you.


I will make you a great nation;

I will bless you

And make your name great;

And you shall be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you,

And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”


GENESIS 12:4-5 NKJV

SO Abram DEPARTED AS the LORD HAD SPOKEN TO HIM, and Lot went with him.

And Abram was SEVENTY-FIVE (75) YEARS OLD when he DEPARTED from Haran.


GENESIS 12:4-5 NKJV

Then Abram TOOK SARAI his WIFE and LOT his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran,

and they DEPARTED to GO TO the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.


She went along despite all the physical inconvenience


Abram PASSED THROUGH the LAND to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh.

And the Canaanites were then in the land.

Then the LORD appeared to Abram and SAID, “To your descendants I will GIVE this land.”

And there he BUILT an ALTAR to the LORD, who had appeared to him.


Canaanites are enemies


GENESIS 12:8 NKJV

And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel,


and he pitched his TENT with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he BUILT an ALTAR to the LORD and called on the NAME of the LORD.


The whole lifestyle changed from a word from Daddy God


GENESIS 12:9-13 NKJV

So Abram JOURNEYED, going on still toward the South.


Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram WENT DOWN to EGYPT to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land.

And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know that you are a woman of BEAUTIFUL COUNTENANCE.


Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.

Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you.”


GENESIS 12:14 MSG

When Abram ARRIVED in Egypt, the EGYPTIANS took one LOOK and SAW that his wife was STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. [VERY BEAUTIFUL]


How old was Sarah then?


Both inside and outside. Egyptians only look at outside first.


HEBREWS 11:11-12 MSG

BY FAITH, barren Sarah was ABLE to become pregnant, old woman as she was at the time, because SHE BELIEVED the ONE who MADE a PROMISE would DO WHAT HE SAID.


That’s HOW it HAPPENED that from one man’s dead and shriveled loins there are now people NUMBERING into the MILLIONS.


HEBREWS 11:11 KJV

Through FAITH also Sara herself received STRENGTH to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was PAST AGE, because she judged HIM FAITHFUL who had PROMISED.

HEBREWS 11:11 TPT

SARAH’S FAITH embraced God’s miracle power to CONCEIVE even though she was barren and was PAST the AGE of childbearing,

for THE AUTHORITY of her FAITH RESTED in the ONE who made the PROMISE, and she tapped into HIS FAITHFULNESS.


HEBREWS 11:13-16 MSG

Each one of these PEOPLE of FAITH died not yet having in hand what was promised, but still believing.

How did they do it?


They SAW it way off in the DISTANCE, waved their greeting, and ACCEPTED the fact that they were transients in this world.


HEBREWS 11:13-16 MSG

People who LIVE THIS WAY make it plain that they are looking for their TRUE HOME.

If they were homesick for the old country, they could have gone back any time they wanted.


But they were AFTER a far better country than that—

HEAVEN COUNTRY.

You can see why God is so proud of THEM, and has a City waiting for them.


1 PETER 3:1-2


In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate,

not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and

their accountability to God, and so partnering with them]


so that even if some do not obey the word [of God],

(indifferent as they are to any words about God,)

they may be WON OVER [to CHRIST] without discussion by the GODLY LIVES of their wives, (LIVES OF HOLY BEAUTY) -

WHEN they SEE your modest and respectful BEHAVIOR [together with your devotion and appreciation—

love your husband, encourage him, and enjoy him as a blessing from God].


1 PETER 3:3-4

What matters is NOT your outer appearance—

the styling of your hair,

the jewelry you wear,

the cut of your clothes—


but LET it BE -

[the INNER BEAUTY of] the HIDDEN PERSON of the HEART,


with the IMPERISHABLE QUALITY and UNFADING charm of a GENTLE and PEACEFUL SPIRIT,

[one that is calm and self-controlled, not overanxious, but serene and spiritually mature] which is very precious in the SIGHT of GOD.


We are developing the heart not the mind.


1 PETER 3:5

The holy women of old were BEAUTIFUL before GOD THAT WAY...


This is HOW the HOLY WOMEN of old MADE themselves BEAUTIFUL.


THEY PUT THEIR TRUST in GOD


That way - from developing their heart

Beauty from inside out.


They put their trust in God


Faith has action. Trust in every area


First from the hidden man of the heart. Than it comes out, so beautiful.


1 PETER 3:6 NLT


For instance, SARAH obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master.

You are HER DAUGHTERS when you DO what is RIGHT WITHOUT FEAR of what your husbands might do.


just as Sarah OBEYED Abraham [following him and having regard for him as head of their house], calling him Lord.

And you have become HER DAUGHTERS if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear [that is, being respectful toward your husband but not giving in to intimidation, nor allowing yourself to be led into sin, nor to be harmed].


1 PETER 3:6 AMP


The area of becoming her daughters

Beautiful through the inner man of the heart

Obedient


WHAT ARE THE 2 MAIN ASPECTS OF SARAH'S FAITH THAT TODAY'S WOMEN OF GOD ARE CALLED DAUGHTERS OF SARAH?
