Sarah Hath's 'An Explanation Of The Bondwoman'
Chapter 6: Cast out the Bondwoman!
“And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman, in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.” (Genesis 21:9-12 KJV) Preachers, lay members, altar workers, etc…if you ever want to be free, it will cost you. There is a price that you will have to pay in order to really walk in freedom.

I loved God more than my own plans and agenda. When Abraham heard God’s voice to cast of the bondwoman and her son, the bible says that the very next day, Abraham prepared food and water for Hagar and Ishmael and sent them on their way. Preachers of the gospel, whatever you have in your life that is not in line with where God is taking you, I urge you to pack it up and send it away! Cast out the bondwoman in your life so that you can enjoy what God has promised
