Abraham made a mistake when he tried to force God's promise on his own terms, but God still kept His word.Your miracle and your mistake can’t live under the same roof. At some point, you have to decide which one you're going to feed.📖 Key Scriptures•  Genesis 21:1-14  — The main passage where Abraham sends Hagar and Ishmael away after the birth of Isaac.•  Genesis 15:5 —  When God shows Abraham the stars and promises descendants as numerous as the stars.🔑 In this message:•  Your mistakes will always try to rob you of your joy, peace, and confidence — but they don't have to stay.•  Miracles and mistakes both grow based on what you feed.

Guilt has no place at the table with your miracle.•  Like Abraham, you can surrender your mistakes and step fully into the freedom God has for you.Watch now and be reminded — the miracle God has for you is still alive, and it’s time to starve your mistakes.
