 Two angels approach his city and these two angels Come to spy the city see the city how it is and as they are doing that a lot comes to them And let us some out of curiosity Could you come to my house and spend the night in my house in this culture and like in many Palestinian cultures? It is the code of honor that you take a stranger into your house and you treat him With dignity and respect it was a code that they lived under and lot he subscribed to that code He welcomes a stranger into his house, but I want you to see an incident here because as lot is welcoming these strangers They are replying back to him and they're saying No, we are not Coming to your house We will stay outside because we need to check the city Thank you for the generous offer Now if lot made that generous offer just to be nice he would have said, okay, I Asked I Requested you don't want it. It's your choice Have you ever had somebody offer to pay for dinner? But they didn't want to pay for dinner. They didn't even have a wallet with them Have you ever had when you go out maybe for a group meeting and And the guy says I want to yeah, I'll take care of this But then the girl wants to test that by saying no, I got it and then the guy replies. Oh, okay. I guess Since you insist she wasn't insisting she just said she wanted to test Do you really want to pay or are you just saying it to be nice? I Wonder if that's exactly what angels did with lot I wonder if they said no just to see do you really want us to come to your house or are you bluffing? How many times we take no as an indication of this is what God wants or not instead of as a test to what you really want How many times and no is God's way of saying I want to bless you I want to use you, but I want to see how bad do you want it? And That's exactly what messengers are doing. They're saying no lot. We're not going to your house and If lot would have been like many men in the restaurant lot would have been like praise God Because I don't even have nothing to eat for you guys. I was just trying to be nice in the first place I don't even care about you guys. Plus you guys probably some weirdos. I don't even did your background check I don't know who you are No, a lot insist the Bible says he's strongly Insisted I want to know I want you to know one thing about your relationship with Holy Spirit You have to learn to discern That God's nose are not always an indication of what he wants, but a test of what you really want
