nine. Jabez was more honorable than his brother. His mother had named him
-
Jabez, saying I gave birth to him in pain, Jabez cried out to
-
the God of Israel. Now I want you to see this all that you
-
would bless me. And then I put parenthetically indeed and enlarge my territory.
-
Let your hand be with me and keep me from harm, so that I'll
-
be free from pain. And God granted his request. Come on, turn
-
your neighbors, say God's about to bless you. God. Come on,
-
turn to the other neighbor that you didn't want to talk to, tell them,
-
say God's about to bless you. You know you didn't turn that way.

You looked over Adam. But you turn and you talk. But just

go ahead and tell that person God. Now tell your other net tell everybody,

-
come on, we welcome you. Come on. Let's welcome them right
-
into the house. Amen. Today I'm on a standalone message. There's a
-
message that the Lord has really laid on my heart for the house. This
-
is a this is a message for the house. If you're part of Legacy
-
Church. This message is divinely designed for you today. And if you know
-
anything about the Book of Chronicles, the Bunk of Chronicles is something that you
-
read and you almost can follow asleep with it is It is not the most
-
inspiring chapters. It is literally the story of genealogy. Somebody begat, somebody
-
who begat, somebody begad begad begat. You want to put that on the
-
Bible app and read it at two point zero and just let it get through.
-
And that's how it is in the story. It is all the way.
-
It is a chapter upon chapter and then it comes into this this text
-
of Jabez and it kind of reminds me of a graduation service. It's a
-
graduation service where they tell you that we want you to hold all of your
-
applause to the end, and then they call name after name after name,
-
and you know how they do that little golf clap. Come on this practice
-
with me, Come on the little golf clap. You know that was like,
-
that's a little bit ble bit louder than that, you know what I'm
-
saying, not a little golf clap. And and in the process, you
-
know, there's always that one family. I don't know why it is.
-
I want to be that family. I promise you when my kids graduate,
-
I want I want to pack the whole section. Hello, right, because
-
you know how it is. You know you got that one family. It's
-
like up in the up and nosebleed. They don't even got a good seat,
-
you know what I'm saying. But they got like they're forty strong in
-
the back, all right. And when they you know, they're walking across
-
the stage and they're like Paul strong, and all of a sudden, they
-
start young baby woo, and they start making so much noise that you can't
-
hear the person that they call. The next time. They literally gotta stop
-
the procession. You know what I'm talking about, because Mama still holler at
-
you you bool baby, that's my son. You know what I'm talking about,
-
just hollering and everybody starts snickering. You know what I'm talking about,
-
Like, Lord a mercy, what is going on with them? This is
-
exactly what happened right here in the story. Like god Like, out of
-
all the names, god Like puts a celebration right in the middle of the
-
text. And you got to catch this because he calls him, he says.
-
He says, Jabez was more on honorable then his brothers. His mother
-
had named him jay Bez. Now, I don't mean, I don't want
-
you. I want you to understand this that he named him Jabez. His
-
name means pain. Hello, Now, I know you want to name some
-
of your children pain. Now you've been a pain. But you know,
-
I mean, you know you can talk about that like you know, figured
-
a little bit. Literally, they named him pain. We got John over
-
here, and then we got Susie, and then he got other son pain.
-
Y'all getting this? I mean got Judah that's the house of praise,
-
praise the Lord. That's Juda's praise. Samuel that's one, here's the Lord.
-
And then j Bez Jabez. Jbez means pain. And I don't know
-
what actually happened. I don't know why his mother named him a pain,
-
but the Bible gives us some instruction concerning that I gave birth to him in
-
pain. We don't know if she had a hard labor. We don't know
-
if she had lost her h husband. We don't really know all the story
-
of what is going on, but we know that he was named pain and
-
when you are named something, that label can stick. You know, labels
-
can limit you. That's why people put labels on you. I just want
-
to say this to somebody in the room. I don't care what label they
-
put on you. I don't care what they called you in school. I
-
don't care what they called you. I don't care what people identify you with.
-
Can I tell you your pain may be your reality, but it doesn't
-
have to be your destiny. I'm telling you today, wherever you have come
-
from in your story in life, you may have gone through your pain,
-
and your pain may be your reality, but it does not have to be
-
your destiny. Because this is a story of a man by the name of
-
Jabez. We don't know what he walked through, but what we do know
-
is he prayed an audacious prayer. And I believe if you pray this prayer,
-
I believe, if you pray this prayer with all of your heart,
-
I believe God can bring transformation and he can put you on a whole another
-
place when it comes to him and what He's going to do in and on
-
your life. Thank you for three amens. It's a little slow, y'all,
-
but this is the prayer that I want us to pray. This is
-
the prayer that I believe God is about to call us in this house to
-
pray. It is the prayer of jay Best. It is, and I
-
believe God's about to make us the house of jay Best. He wants us
-
to make us the house of jes And so he prayed a prayer and he
-
said, Lord, oh Lord, that you would bless me. Indeed.
-
I know it's crazy, but number one thing that I need you to learn
-
today is I want you to pray for blessing. Now when you look at
-
this text, when you say pray for the blessing, the word actually it's
-
an exclamation mark, and some translations it says, oh bless me indeed,
-
which means like exclamation, our exclamation, our exclamation, our exclamation, or
-
like or like if you have an emoji, it's like fire fire fire fire
-
fire, or like pred percent hundre percentership you want talking about like like God,
-
see pray And when when I say bless me, Now, when you
-
may have walked in here and you may say, Lord Lord, I'm coming
-
into one of these, name it and claim it, blab it and grab
-
it kind of churches. Now, No, no, no, you're not
-
coming into this. I need you to understand that blessing is so much more
-
than material things. Like that is like the that is like so far down
-
the totem pole. That's like talking about marriage is just the bedroom. Come
-
on now, I just want you to understand there is more to your relationship
-
in the blessing of God than material things. And the word blessed is baruk
-
and it means that God would stoop down and overwhelm you, That God,
-
in who he is and all he is, would stoop down into your life
-
and bring you acts as to his presence, to his power, to his
-
to his provision over your life. How many no God wants to bless you
-
today? And when I talk about blessing and identify the blessing of God the
-
wisdom that God would give you wisdom beyond your years, that God would give
-
you insight and understanding and counsel to make the right decisions. Have you ever
-
prayed God Lord, I don't I need I don't need money. I need
-
the right decision. I need the right direction. I need you to show
-
me your path for my life. I need to know when to hold them
-
and know when to fold them and want no when to walk away? Can
-
I get a witness to the God bless me? Indeed, bless me with
-
strength? Yeah, go ahead and bring it up here. Bless me with
-
strength today. I need stamming today. I need I need the be ability
-
that when you put the blessing on me, that I can stand under the
-
blessing of God. I don't want the blessing to be a burden. I
-
want the blessing to have the strength to be able to carry everything that you
-
promised in and on my life. I mean the physical, emotional fortitude,
-
the strength to walk out your plan and your purpose for my life. I
-
need health. I don't know about you. If you know how powerful the
-
blessing of God is, that He gives strength to your body and health to
-
your bones, that your frame would have health in a world that is sick.
-
Can I tell you today, God can bless you with good health,
-
good eyesight, good things in your life. When you wake up in the
-
morning, God will strengthen you. He'll renew you like the egle. You'll
-
rise and not be weary. You'll walk in nothing. I wish I had
-
some help in the room. Does anybody need God to give you vision?
-
To be able to have a purpose and a clear picture, so you know
-
when to say yes and you know when to say no. So you understand
-
the divine design destiny that God has for your life. That you were created
-
for a purpose today. And it's not just to sit, it's not just
-
to take up space, but it's to make a difference. And said that
-
when you discover your purpose, that you become a deadly weapon against the enemy
-
because you start walking in your divine design. Can I tell you today there's
-
fullness of life under the blessing of God. Oh my Jesus, I feel
-
something in this room. I'm telling you today God made you for a purpose.
-
Today, He made you with a gift. He made you. Yes,
-
she went through what you went through. I need to tell somebody that
-
your past is not a rap sheet, it's a resume. Yes you went
-
through hell, Yes you went through high water. Yes, the enemy wanted
-
to destroy you. But I came to tell you what the enemy meant for
-
evil. God wants to turn it around for his good. And whatever thing
-
that the enemy is thrown at you, God will take that rap sheet and
-
turn it into a resume for his glory. If you recognize him blessings.
-
Oh, this is the prayer that I want you to pray. God wants
-
more for you so you can be a blessing. Hello, bless me indeed,
-
bless me indeed. Now, then when I say that, listen,
-
I want you to understand when I talk about that, that you know the
-
problem is is that God? How many no, God is so good at
-
blessing. I mean, I mean pressing down, shaking together and running over.
-
But here's the problem. The problem is is that we've been praying God
-
just meet our needs. And I need you to understand something. There's nothing
-
wrong with us praying God meet our needs. But I moved out of a
-
place that God meet our needs because when you just pray for your needs,
-
you you're living a small life. How many no, God wants to bless
-
you beyond what you need. I ain't got no help in this room.
-
I said, God wants to bless you beyond what you need. And here's
-
the problem is is that when God wants to bless when he pours He's got
-
all this blessing. Now he pours it out on your life. But because
-
your your cup is so small, you can't even handle the blessing. And
-
even when he pours it into you your cup, your cup can't handle it
-
spills over, but it doesn't it doesn't have the capacity to pour it back
-
in. And too many of are praying God, just bless my needs because
-
our cup is too small. We can't catch all that he has. Hello.
-
This is why the Bible says in the Second Printhing, chapter nine says,
-
now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread of food will also
-
supply And someone say increase, increase what the store is saying, the store
-
of seed and enlarge the harvest because you if he doesn't enlarger capacity every time
-
he pour, Lord is a blessing on you, you won't be able to
-
handle it. So this is what I've been praying, Lord, Lord,
-
when you pour out the blessing, y'all hear me, Lord, When you
-
pour out the blessing, Lord, I want you to pour it in such
-
a way that I can catch every drip of blessing you have on my life.
-
I don't want just a little bit. I want to catch every drop,
-
so that when you use me, Lord, that I have the capacity
-
to do what well. Now, Sister Sally is underneeded and saying brother Joe
-
is underneaded, and brother Bill is in need. Can I tell you today,
-
God, you gonna pour out a blessing so that I can meet to
-
my brother's needs. So I can be a blessing, So I can be
-
a blessing in my church, so I can be a blessing in my home,
-
so I can be a blessing in my community. God, you've given
-
me that. Does anybody want to be somebody that when people come into you,
-
God, don't give me a blessing, make me a blessing. God.
-
The more you pour out in my life, the more I'm going to
-
give to the other people around me. I'm not trying to raise my living.
-
I'm trying to raise my giving. I'm trying to raise my worship.
-
Do I got anybody in the room that said, God, bless me.
-
Indeed? If you believe that, come on, give the Lord of praise
-
today. Come on, give the Lord of prayer. Bless me, indeed,
-
bless my house, bless my capacity. I don't want just so little.
-
I want more, See God, I want more. I want you.
-
I want to move from God meeting my need to God wants you meet
-
your vision. Hello, Can I tell you God, move us from a
-
place of just meet our need. God, move us to a place where
-
you meet our vision, meet your vision for our life. God, that
-
you can move us to the place of God. That Lord, that we'll
-
be a blessing to teen Challenger. They're getting ready to raise up a building
-
it and they need seventy thousand dollars. God, would you use Legacy Church
-
to be a blessing over teen Challenge? God who got missionaries in Africa?
-
We got missionaries in Cairo, we got missionaries in Oman. They've been calling
-
us. But God, what you make us a blessing? That Lord,
-
we can reach local and global of the work of God in this house and
-
around this house. God, you bless us make us debt free. Can
-
I get a witness so that Lord will be the head and not the tail.
-
We'll be the lender and not the borrow. Can I get a witness
-
in this place? God, bless us, indeed bless us. See it's
-
hard for us to pray that because we think that the blessing is material.
-
Know, the blessing is all that who God is and all He wants to
-
do in our lives. So I need you to I need to challenge that
-
God would raise your vision, raise your vision, raise my vision of God.
-
So I want more. I don't want to be and I'm not doing
-
it to get big. See, I'm not asking God to make us big.
-
I'm asking God to make us great. It's a difference. I'm not
-
trying to get mega, I'm trying to I'm trying to be great. What's
-
the difference, pastor Well? See, big is how many you get?
-
Great? Is how many of you sin? Y'all missed that. It's not
-
about how many come in. It's how many people going out. It's how
-
many people are going out in the strength of God. How many going out
-
in ministry, how many people going out and planning a church. How many
-
people are going out in the fullness of God. God bless me. And
-
this is why he prayed the prayer. God, when you bless me,
-
Lord, I'm praying that you enlarge my territory. He say, I want
-
you to pray for influence, because when God blesses you, he's blessing you
-
so that you can make an impact. Are you getting this? See?
-
God has available to you a life bigger than you. Oh did you hear
-
me? God has a life for me that's bigger than me. I mean,
-
he wants to do something that will blow mind. When we think about
-
when we think about people that are successful, we think it's because they maybe
-
they got more money. But can I tell you money doesn't solve your problems.
-
Hello. In fact, if money solved the problems in our federal government
-
would have solved it a long time ago. They spend billions of dollars and
-
they haven't solved problems. But this is what I need you to understand.
-
See when you get influenced, see what God wants to do. He wants
-
to give you a purpose bigger than your problems. He wants to give you
-
a purpose bigger than your problems. Can I tell you something I know it's
-
gonna be hard for you to hear. You're always gonna have problems. You
-
can't get rid of your problems. You can't get out of your problems.
-
The problems are part of your life. But can I tell you when you
-
wake up, your eyes don't have to be on your problems. Your eyes
-
can be on a purpose that's bigger than your problems. That's why we have
-
next steps. That's why because when you discover your purpose, when you wake
-
up in the morning. You recognize that I'm not living till I can solve
-
my problems. I'm not living so I can pay my bills. I'm not
-
living till I can just get a check. I'm living on purpose because my
-
life makes a difference. And can I tell you how you know that?
-
Now? Listen, this is where you need to know your purpose. It's
-
the area where the enemy diminishes. Can I tell you that he is afraid
-
that you would expand into what God has called you to be. It's the
-
area the enemy diminishes. This is what he tells you. That's what he
-
tells you. It's just a it's just a what. It's just He makes
-
it small. It's just a marriage small group. It's just a fitness small
-
group. It's just a passion for serving. It's just a camera. It's
-
just a camera. It's just just serving kids. It's just it's just it's
-
just a it's just a dream about having a food truck. It's just it's
-
just a food truck. It's just a food truck. He diminishes. It's
-
just parking cars. It's it's just an idea. He just tries to diminish
-
it because he recognizes that it's more than that. So he tries to tell
-
you it's just uh, but can I tell you it's more than that.
-
It's more than a marriage, small group, it's more than a fitness It's
-
more than just a camera. It's more than that. You understand, behind
-
every camera worker in this room, there are millions of people that are being
-
reached with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's more than that.
-
It's more than that. And everybody is trying to pray for God to open
-
the door. But I'm not praying for God to open up the door.
-
I'm praying for God to make me a door. Oh I'm trying to I
-
want you to understand there is a difference when you start praying, but behind
-
it when you never know the value of a door until it's locked. Hello,
-
my son, his nan about him afrigerator for his bedroom. Now,
-
I just want to say something. I never had afrigerator from my bedroom until
-
I got to college. But he's got his own frigerator. And so what
-
was going on was his little brothers and sisters were going into his bedroom and
-
getting the snacks and the drinks out of his bedroom. So he decided that
-
he was going to put a turbo locked door access cold on his door.
-
Let me just say, it's not his door, it's my door. And
-
I really didn't know the value of that of that door because I'm used to
-
going into everybody's room and all that time my wife was saying, why don't
-
you go into a cole's room, and why don't you do this? And
-
that. I need you to get something out of that. And I went
-
in there and I turned and it turned, but it would open. I
-
looked at that thing. I said, I don't have the access cold,
-
and I was punching a kind of numbers in there, getting frustrated, banging
-
on the door. It wasn't opening because it was locked. Everything that was
-
behind that door. I couldn't have access to everything. And I was frustrated
-
because it's my door and that's my bedroom. I remind my son, what
-
you why don't you lock my door? He said, Dad, that's not
-
your door, that's my door. He finally gave me the access cold and
-
it was amazing. I punched the colt in hit the button, boom,
-
opened up the door. It was so great. I put a lock on
-
my door. Now we got a locked Yeah, I know you upset.
-
We got a locked up. Our kids used to be able to pick the
-
lock. You know what I'm saying. Now they gotta knocker. They gotta
-
be able to knock because you can't come in just because you're picking it.
-
Now you gotta know the access code. And no child has the access cod
-
to my door. And you don't understand there are people, there is provision,
-
there are things that God wants to use that are standing at your door,
-
but you've kept it locked. And until you become a door, you
-
go to miss out on all that God has for your life because there is
-
treasure behind your door. That's why the enemy is trying to diminice your door.
-
He's trying to say there's nothing behind your door. There's nothing behind your
-
testimony, there's nothing behind your gift, there's nothing behind your talent, there's
-
nothing behind your past. But can I tell you today, God turns beauty
-
out of ashes. Today God turns a joy out of the morning. And
-
God has a purpose. All the pain, all the struggle, all the
-
things, all the gifts, all the talents, all those things. God
-
wants you to be a door so that people can walk through. So people
-
can discover their purpose so that you can receive ministry from your door. Do
-
you know how many people will become life changed because of the doors that you
-
open when you pray the prayer? God, enlarge my chair. God,
-
make my life bigger than me. What you're saying is, God, you
-
got full access to my life. God, you can do ministry out of
-
my life. God, you then use my gifts and my talents so that
-
lives can be changed. So that I can be a door opener for somebody's
-
life. So I can be a door opener for our marriage, so I
-
can be a door opener for our student, So I can be a door
-
opener for somebody that's broken hearted that they wouldn't know that there's hope. My
-
door's a door of hope. My door's a door of healing. My door's
-
a a door of restoration. I'm praying, God, make me a door.
-
Make my life bigger than me. God, open up in large my
-
territory. Let the fullness of God. Now, I want you to understand
-
today that when you start praying these dangerous prayers, can I tell you that
-
you're gonna need the hand of the Lord on you. This is the third
-
thing that he prays. I prayed. He prayed the prayer, Lord,
-
let your hand be with me, because Lord, it's too big for me
-
to handle. Lord, I need your hand on my life. When I
-
talk about the hand of the Lord, it is the presence and the power
-
of God. That's why we just came out of twenty one days of prayer,
-
because what God is getting ready to do in this church, we need
-
the hand of the Lord on Hello. God's getting ready to do some big
-
moves in this house, and we need the hand of the Lord. That
-
if God even whispered some of the ideas that he had for us, it
-
would blow our mind. We say, Lord, I don't know if we're
-
able to do that, But he says, but my hand is on you,
-
and my hand is going before you, and you need my hand.
-
As long as we got God's hand, we can handle it. We need
-
the oil of the Lord. When we talk about the oil of the Lord,
-
it is the anoying. The awe of the anointing means it means.
-
It's a church word, but it just means that it means to be rubbed.
-
It means to be rubbed that we've literally let that God's presence has rubbed
-
on us in such a way that it becomes tangible that we have God's presence,
-
that it becomes evident on our lives, that when people look over your
-
life, they say, I don't know how they were able to do all
-
that they were able to do. And you say, it wasn't by mind,
-
and it wasn't by power, but it was by my spirit. And
-
there was no way I could have done that. There's no way I could
-
have known that, but it was the hand. Although I need the Lord's
-
presence, That's why I exited. Chapter thirty three, verse fourteen. It
-
says the Lord replied, my presence will go with you, and I will
-
give you rest. Then Moses said to him, if your presence doesn't go
-
with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know
-
that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us.
-
What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on
-
the face of the earth. And the Lord said to Moses, I will
-
do the very thing you've asked, because I'm pleased with you and I know
-
you by name, he says I. He said, Moses, I don't
-
even want to go anywhere. If you don't go, see when God moves
-
you into God's dream, You're gonna be dependent on God's hand. That's what
-
we're praying today that when you start praying these audacious prayers, God, we
-
need your presence because He's gonna do something beyond your imagination. Can I tell
-
you when you look at your life, you say, well, I'm just
-
this and I'm just that. But can I tell you, God, when
-
he sees you, he sees your divine purpose. He sees that you are
-
a weapon, that you are an arsenal for the glory of God. When
-
he sees your life, he sees that He has so much more for you
-
and in you and through you. And that's why we need the presence of
-
God. This is the fourth thing. And I close with this, and
-
we gotta pray for protection. The Bible says the prayer of Jabe, I
-
said, Lord will bless me. God give me more than I need.
-
Lord, give me a life bigger than myself. Lord, keep your hand
-
on me, keep your hand on this house today. Don't let us get
-
too big for our riches. Come on, somebody, God, don't let
-
us think it's about us and it's not and we forget. It's all about
-
you. Don't let us ever forget that. It's you that we live and
-
move and have our brain. God, we could never we can't change one
-
life without you. Our words will fall to the ground, but your word
-
will never fail. Oh Jesus, my word will fall to the ground,
-
but your word will never fail. Your word will go forth and it can
-
change the hearts of men. And that's why we gotta pray for protection,
-
because when you start praying these types of prayers, you're gonna need You don't
-
need some you need some Come on, you need some fire? Hello?
-
How many know you don't need some protection? Now I know, Texans,
-
we know about protection. Hello, we are praying for protection. Just to
-
bring that. Bring that down for me, bring that down. Let me
-
just say this to you. There's a difference between harm and hurt. He
-
said, keep me from harm. There's a difference between harm and hurt.
-
How many know you may get hurt, but God will make sure you never
-
get harmed. Hurt. There's all types of hurts that we deal with.
-
See, the enemy is trying to use hurt to harm us. The heart.
-
Hurt can be corrective. Hert can be vulnerability, Hurt can be misunderstanding.
-
But can I tell you, but God promises that he'd never allow us
-
to be harmed. Harm is destructive, Harm is divisive, Harm is devouring.
-
The enemy wants to harm our homes. The enemy wants to harm this
-
church. But can I tell you that's why we're praying for God to protect
-
us. How many want to pray that God will protect us today? Stay
-
with me today? See whatever the plan the enemy has, it won't work,
-
It won't prosper, it won't end in destruction. Doesn't mean that we
-
aren't going to be attacked. The enemy is going to attack us, Coach.
-
The enemy is gonna try to try to let distractions devour us. But
-
what we have to do is we have to remain focused, keeping our eyes
-
on the author and the perfector of our faith, Jesus Christ, and praying
-
God. Whatever the enemy is trying to do, it will not work.
-
I said, it will not. I wish I had somebody that believed that
-
with me. I said, it will not. Oh my God, you
-
hear that. That's what you're gonna be in to pray every morning. This
-
is what I've been praying, Lord, that you bless me, God,
-
that you bless legacy Church to make a difference. Lord, that you bless
-

-
be a house of Jabez. You bless us beyond our ability. God,
