Transcript
-
I'm going to go ahead and preach, because when I teach,
-
it takes longer for y'all to get saved.
-
In Jesus' name a man.
-
But today Genesis chapter forty eight, in the reece like this,
-
And it came to pass after these things that one
-
told Joseph, behold, thy.
-
Father is sick.
-
And he took with him his two sons, Vanessa and Ephraim.
-
And one told Jacob and said, behold, thy son, Joseph
-
coming unto THEE, and Israel strengthens himself and sat upon
-
the bed.
-
And Jacob said.
-
Unto Joseph, God already appeared unto me at laws in
-
the land of Cana and blessed me, and said unto me, behold,
-
I will make THEE fruitful. What did he say? I
-
will make THEE fruitful, and I will multipy THEE.
-
I will make THEE fruitful.
-
One. I will multiply THEE, and I will make up
-
THEE a great multitude of people, and.
-
Will give this land to thy seed.
-
It's going to be passed down through generations and for
-
an everlasting possession. And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manessa,
-
which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt.
-
Before I came unto thee into Egypt. Are mine and
-
Reuben and Simeon, and they shall be mine. And thy issue,
-
which thou be Goddess, after them will be thine, and
-
she'll be called the name of their brother. And I
-
know this is real worthy, But we'll get there in
-
a second. Verse seven says and that's for me. When
-
I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the
-
land of Canaan. In the way, yet there was a
-
little way to come unto Ephra, and I buried her there.
-
At the way of Ephra, the same as Bethlehem and
-
Israel beheld Joseph's son and says, who are these? Joseph said,
-
unto the Father, they are my sons, whom God hath
-
given me in this place.
-
And he said, bring them, I pray thee unto.
-
Me, and I will bless them. What did it say,
-
I will bless them? I will bless them. I need
-
you to get that in your spirit. I will bless them.
-
Now the eyes of Israel were them for age, so
-
that he could not see it. And he brought them
-
near unto him, and he kissed them and embraced them,
-
and Israel said, unto Joseph, I'm not thought to see
-
thy face.
-
And lo, God has showed me also thy seat.
-
And Joseph brought out from between his knees, and he
-
bound himself with his face to there. And Joseph took
-
them both Ephron and his right hand towards Israel's left hand,
-
and Manessa in the left hand towards Israel's right hand,
-
and brought them unto him. And Israel stretched out his
-
hand and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger,
-
and his left hand upon Manessa's head, guiding his hand
-
wittingly for manessas was the first born. I know that's
-
real deep. Some of you all lost already and say,
-
oh Lord, what is he talking about? But I promise
-
you will put it together.
-
And he blessed Joseph and said, God before whom my.
-
Father's Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed
-
me all of my life long unto this day, the
-
Angel which redeemed me from all evil. Bless the lads,
-
and let my name be on them, and the name
-
of my father's Abraham Isaac, and let them grow in
-
the multitude in the midst of the earth. You can
-
close your Bibles because I promise you I put it together,
-
and look at the neighbors and neighbor, God is releasing
-
his transformative power.
-
Look at one more person beside your hell neighbor.
-
God is, Oh, I wanted to see if you gonna
-
say it like I said it, Say God is.
-
You gotta say it with your prophetic voice.
-
Say he's releasing transformative power less time. Find one neighbor
-
and tell him He's about to do.
-
It for you.
-
This is an interesting scripture, and I find it fitting
-
for a day like today, which we call Father's Day,
-
because some of us have had to face the challenges
-
of life.
-
Most of us, because of the time.
-
In which we live, are having to deal with all
-
kinds of things that have been sent to cause us
-
to miss the voice of God and what he's doing
-
in this hour. This is an hour when you're not careful,
-
you'll miss what he's doing.
-
Because of all of the noise that you're hearing.
-
It's easy to miss God because God now is doing
-
things he did not do before. He's allowing things to change,
-
and he's switching things, and he's using unusual situations most
-
of us don't even understand it. But God is calling
-
us to a place of prayer, because the Saint of
-
God in this hour cannot be moved in their emotions
-
and their feelings. Feelings will get you into trouble. Feelings
-
are sometimes out of work. Feelings sometimes have you desiring
-
what you cannot have. Feelings sometimes have you on an
-
emotional high, looking for love in all the wrong places.
-
Shut.
-
But God, in this season that we live, is beginning
-
to do things, and sometimes he does not do things
-
by ordinary meetings.
-
Or most of us.
-
Become disturbed because you're praying for him to come through
-
a window. When he's coming through the door that you're
-
praying for him to bust open the ceiling and to
-
do something that sings so phenomenal that every eye should
-
see him. It is the same thing that Elijah the
-
prophet goes through. Because what do you do when you
-
have sought after God. You've look for him to give
-
you an answer. You prayed for him to make a way,
-
and you're looking for a sign that well, I've come
-
to remind you that Jesus said, it's the foolest generation
-
that's looking for a sign. Because in this day and hour.
-
God may not do it like you think he's going
-
to do it. But can you just look at a
-
neighbor and tell him, but he's still going to to it.
-
That God may not make the way through who you
-
thought he was going to use.
-
God may not use.
-
The methods by which we are secured and thought he did.
-
In other words, He's not going to do today what
-
he did yesterday. I hear you, and you're right, Jesus
-
ear is Lord. I feel a preacher the same today,
-
yesterday and forevermore. But he says to the Church of God.
-
What he says to Israel, Behold, I'm going to do
-
a new thing. You cannot expect it that you used
-
to get it. You don't have to look for the
-
folks that you used to have to look for. You
-
don't have to depend on the folks that you used
-
to have to depend on. Some folks, God is canceling
-
our of your life. Some folks, God is giving them
-
an early exit. Some folks, God is saying you got
-
to move to the.
-
Right, because behold, I am a.
-
God, and I want you to understand you can trust
-
me even when you cannot trace me.
-
So it is interesting here.
-
Because as we look at this biblical narrative, this narrative
-
begins to give to us shutter the display of a father. Now,
-
I must warn you that the Bible does not have
-
a lot of examples of good father shut, because one
-
only has to look at David. You've heard about David before,
-
haven't you. His sons wanted to kill him. They would
-
jeal shut of what he had in his life. Fucking
-
they got drunk off of the authority and the power
-
that their father had. They wanted what he had without
-
going through suffering. That sounds like us such esser neighbor saying, neighbor,
-
is he talking about you? Because this is the generation
-
that should be seeking after God. Not this is the
-
generation that should understand not nothing comes easy. This should
-
be the generation nothing that forgets about the whiz and
-
the wizard of ours. Because Selan is not going to
-
allow you to ease on down.
-
Not he's on down the road. Ah, I better give
-
you a scripture to help you. The Bible sayers, and
-
I frank him for the world, they who live godly
-
are gonna have to suffer persecution. Not I need you
-
to touch at least three folks and Damn, you're gonna
-
have to go through something.
-
Oh, you gotta touch at least three, but then touch
-
one more person and tell them neighbor. But God told
-
me to tell you you're not going through fhing. I've
-
come to tell you that's soul now.
-
Oh lady, it's going to work cut in your favor. God,
-
Lord help me today to turning it around for you.
-
So you must understand what the text now begins to
-
display to us.
-
Shutting because there are a lot of folks.
-
Shutter who want something for nothing.
-
There are a lot of faults sucker who want to
-
rise to acclaim. I told the church, and I think
-
it comes and hand it right here. One day I
-
asked the Lord to anoint me while I was in
-
church on my knees.
-
I look for God to come and put his hands
-
on me.
-
But instead the Lord determined that the car place Sating
-
needed to come and pick up my car. I said, Lord,
-
wait a minute, I don't ask you to anoyt me.
-
And all of a sudden things are going topsy turvy.
-
I said, Lord, you miss me, you don't understand anoint
-
me hapter, and everything in my life went to turmoil.
-
Work got crazy, happy folks start acting funny folk who
-
I used to be able to depend on I couldn't
-
depend on anymore. I need you to look at a
-
neighbor and help the preacher preach, say neighbor, be careful
-
what you ask for, because sometimes we expected to come
-
one way, but God has a totally different plan. And
-
I've come this morning to tell this house shutter Lord
-
as I hastened to my escape, because I feel the
-
Holy Ghost in here happening. Some things about your lifetter
-
about to say haupter, some situations that you wrestled with,
-
and it seems like they're not going to move. God
-
told me to tell this house of Zion. God's getting
-
ready to do something new in your life, and He's
-
getting ready to switch shut what you thought was permanent happening.
-
God's getting ready now to change this plan happy. And
-
I don't know who I came to PTU today, but
-
I came to tell you that God reserves the right
-
to change his mind. And I need you to grab
-
a neighbor and shake them up by the hand. I
-
need you to shake that hand like you're literally going
-
to shake it off, and say name God sad to
-
tell you he reserves the right to change his mind.
-
You ain't have the right person, so you might have
-
to get out of your seat and go across the
-
room and take that.
-
Name by the hand.
-
Lord, I feel a preacher. Somebody pray for this black man.
-
Say name. God told me to tell you he changed
-
his mind. Don't expect what you've been getty. Don't look
-
for things to be useful happy, don't get comfortable where
-
you are. Don't give up on God. He won't give
-
up on you. I came to tell this house that
-
God has transformative power. Somebody needs to ask me what
-
you're talking about. I'm glad to ask shut. God knows
-
how to take ship what was meant to hurt you
-
to bless your life. God knows how to take the
-
life happy and push you into your purpose. God knows
-
how to take what shill have killed you and help
-
it to give you life. God knows how to take
-
your line self and save you into your next mention.
-
And I came this morning to tell you that we
-
got to dispel the myth. Smith. Just because you are
-
a man, don't make you a daddy. There's a whole
-
lot of folks that are wasting seed I'm trying to
-
preach like I got the holygo. So there's a whole
-
lot of folks. They're spreading their wild looks. There's a
-
whole lot of folks. They're spilling their spurs on the bed.
-
And I'm come to tell you this is the season
-
for real fathers to arrive. This is the season for
-
the real men the step of this is the season.
-
You ain't got to go more importents, you need to
-
know who your daddy is. The Disciples learn early in
-
the stage how to pray and summer. Y'all, don't hell
-
anything different in your life, but you don't know how
-
to pray. The Disciples prayed our Father, who aren't in heaven,
-
Holy is Honame my Kingdom. Come that will be good
-
in her as it is in Heaven. Give us this
-
day our daily pray, and forgive us our trust passes
-
as we forgive those who trust past against us. Lead
-
us not into temptation. I need about thirty folks for
-
your hands off. Say, deliver me from the will of
-
my enemies, Deliver me from myself, Deliver me from my attitude,
-
Deliver me from my DISPOSI. For that is the kingdom,
-
the power and the glory and forever is your name?
-
What are you.
-
Saying, pastor, I'm glad asked. God told me to tell
-
you prophetically, there have been some hurt help in your life,
-
but I need you help. Shake hands with a neighbor.
-
Shake that hand like you're gonna shake off. Say name.
-
God told me to tell you. You're getting ready here
-
to get some blessings because of rule your father is.
-
He can you shake hands with at least three folks?
-
Say my daddy gave it, my daddy did it, my
-
dad they fix it. And my daddy he is your daddy.
-
Help.
-
My daddy got great supply my daddy God, blessing sir,
-
and well the channel on a thousand heels, flansome my
-

-

-
give to me.

Look at a neighbor, say name, Look at me right now,
-

You go see that the blessing of the law making
-

-

-
Go my daddy. Don't play about me. You don't see her.
-
He's been waiting this law to bless me. Surely our blessing.
-
Blesser your ega in the city. Bless sell your feeg
-
on the roofs. Bless show your coming in going out
-

-

-

-
daddy is arresting her on me. Feel anoyty that's on
-
my daddy. He is arresting on me the power that
-
he has. It's arresting on me and why I've been
-
growing up. I've been trying to be like shut my
-
daddy here. I've been trying to talk like my daddy.
-
I've been trying to look like my daddy here. This
-
is the year that I'm gonna look like what I
-
came from. Waving your hands all the neighbors here, surname.
-
I see you somewhere in the you and you look
-
much better. You're dressing much better, you're living much better,
-
you're driving much better. Look at three falls and Saint Naden.
-
This is my daddy's heart. This is my daddy's house.
-
So I'm spending my daddy's money. I'm walking her in
-
my daddy's tower. I'm doing it in my daddes's day.
-
I'm living according to my father, and he's wee. So
-
now I've come to ta but such a siety in
-
the last few minutes. That's getting ready here to be
-
a divine reversal. Y'all didn't hear me sign the name
-
help the same name? Did you hear help me? From
-
what he said? He said? He that's getting we're at
-
he to be a divine reversal. The text now because
-
of good free sh ah Way Ghost back to his text,
-
We got Monessa, whose name he means God has not forgotten.
-
We got it from heaven, whose name means fruitful, fertile,
-
and predict taper name happen same name. You don't know
-
your name, but same name. Help be careful. We're your
-
soul your because your name it's fruitful. Your name it's fertile.
-
Your name is productive. You liable to come up with kids.
-
You didn't know your hay because God say you're fruitful,
-
you're feral, your productive. There ain't nothing you can't do that,
-
ain't nothing you can't hand that, ain't no house up
-
you can't get, ain't no car you can't drive. Such
-
at least three folks and say fruitful, furdle productive. God
-
told me to tell her, somebody in this house get
-
up off your seat of do nothing and do something.
-
Help, get up out of you're hurt, Get up out
-
of your pain, get up out of frustration.
-
God say fruitful product. It annoyed it in his name.
-
So the text says, Oh, of the sudden, Gaddy, it's
-
on his way getting ready to die, and it brings
-
his two glands into the room to get him blessed.
-
Can you for the last time, sake a name by
-
the hand shaken, look about stop take it off same God,
-
Say he's getting were ady to bless you one more time.
-
He's getting were ady to heal you one more time.
-
He's getting word to deliver you. He's getting We're at
-
here to make the way. So they bring him in
-
the house. When they bring them in the room, SU's
-
one more person. Sayname. We're in the room now, but
-
tell him name the blessing.
-
In the room.
-
Tell him the problem.
-
It's in the room.
-
Tell them the annoying to him, it's in the room.
-
Help tell them victory talks in the room. Tell them breakthrough.
-
It's in the room.
-
Tell them deliver it's it's in the rooms. I close,
-
I close.
-
I close, I close because I don't want to preach
-
myself crazy.
-
I close.
-
But something peculiar happens. My brother come in past. Some
-
peculiar happens. They bring the two grandsons and place them
-
in place. They have determined who they want to see blessed,
-
so they have positioned them like they should be positioned.
-
When I come to kind of prophesied about telling y'all,
-
God told me to day.
-
You don't worry about what's in place. I'm gonna ready
-
break all of that up.
-
Texas, the Texas.
-
Other folks that wanted things to go a certain way.
-
Put folks in proper position. According to Hebrew custom.
-
It is right to blea. That's the elder first. I
-
don't have time to deal with that, y'all. Y'all should
-
know that from Leo Rachel. But all of a sudden,
-
father's laying on his deathbed where he should have reached
-
a certain way, he crossed.
-
His hands. Can you quietly say to a neighbor he's
-
crossing his hands.
-
It's called the criss cross blessing. It's when you get
-
what you shouldn't have got, and don't get what you
-
should have deserved. I wish I had, I wish I had.
-
The right church. It's when God should have killed you,
-
but he lets you live. That's when God shall knocked
-
the taste out of your mouth.
-
It's the Chris cross. Five minutes to finish criss cross blessing.
-
Somebody might want to warn the kitchen five minutes, I
-
promise you don't trust me, trust me.
-
So instead of putting his hands where they thought his
-
hands should be. He crosses things, uh, and he lays.
-
Hands on the younger, signifying that the first.
-
Shall be last.
-
And the last I'm gonna be first, signifying just because
-
you've been here for a long time, don't you think
-
God ain't gonna bless me? Signifying God really has no picks, chooses,
-
or favors.
-
This is this is my ending. This is my ending.
-
This is my ending. I don't need you to get
-
it because I watched y'all. Most of y'all got happy
-
off the first being last last. Most of y'all got
-
happy because I.
-
Said, who, Lord, that's who?
-
Pester me faster?
-
The Lord's crossing it up.
-
But I had you read the text with me, because
-
you missed something about four versus up in the text.
-
If I had time, I'd make us turn back to it,
-
because although that grandfather switched the hands up and we
-
get happy about the cross blessing, what we really should
-
be getting happy.
-
About is both of them God blessed.
-
Stop walking around here, mad folks, because they got blessed
-
before you need.
-
It's coming. I walk around here. Get a sat with folk.
-
Can I help you? I'm totally finished, three minutes to finish.
-
If you drive up in a new Pento, how days
-
the right? I'm a second.
-
If you drive up in a new seven forty BMW
-
with rems lights around the bottom, two smoke stacks in
-
the back, I know they had the right term anologize.
-
When you drive up, they say pass the Lord, bless
-
the new conversation. If you come to church, say pastor,
-
I need to pride them. So what's your needing for it?
-
Say come to my house? I said, where's your house? Said?
-
You give me any addresses. I walk in.
-
And it's bedrooms, coppet, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
-
You know what I'm a do.
-
If you call me's a pastor, I need your Friday
-
to bless my house. I look at your house and
-
the seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a dead a study, coppet
-
laying all the way through the top of a kitchen upstairs,
-
a kitchen downstairs.
-
You don't have me, do, God said? Some of y'all
-
been crazy because you've been looking.
-
Over a small blessing, not realizing that if God bless you,
-
it doesn't matter. This is the house God bless me with.
-
This is a car, God bless me to dry. Might
-
not be new, might be smoking for two or three miles.
-
But God, I want to thank you because.
-
You keep on.
-
Blessing me. This is the ending.
-
So I need you to understand the transformative blessing. Because
-
the text says in two places.
-
And the Father.
-
Bless them both. I want to see see see that
-
you know the old sis you had to read scripture,
-
the Father bless them both. In other words, I'm just
-
as happy about your blessings you need to.
-
Be about mine.
-
Or I've heard somebody, I'm just happy about your miracle
-
as you need to be about mine.
-
I want God to bring you out just like he
-
brought me out.
-
I want God to make him wait for you.
-
But this is the kicker.
-
This is the kicker.
-
God bless God, bless God, bless them.
-
Both.
-
So if I cross up and bless you. The right
-
hand signifies authority. It is why the priest, the pope
-
wears his episcopal ring. The right hand decrees.
-
Authority, power, anointing.
-
It is when he puts his right hand out that
-
he's asking God, he's extending a blessing.
-
His right hand is an extension of who he is
-
and what he possesses. God said, I don't want you
-
to get caught up on that. I want you to
-
get caught.
-
Up on I'm blessing them both, and now that I
-
have blessed you both, you now have power.
-
To bless somebody else. I'm not so selfish that I
-
bless you.
-
God is only blessing you so you can be a blessing.
-
To somebody else.
-
God is only raising you up because now he wants
-
you to go back and remember when you were down.
-
And lift up somebody else.
-
God is healing you so you can get off your
-
lazy dusty rusty, go pray for somebody else and watch
-
God bring the healing. I'm closing, but church folk can
-
be crazy. I've never seen passing hang on to the
-
generation like this, where everybody wants to be blessed, but
-
they don't want to be a blessing to somebody else.
-
I thank you, thank you.
-
I want to close like this. I want I want
-
God to bless me with so much money that whenever
-
somebody else needs something, I can be a blessing to
-
you without even thinking about it, without even thinking twice,
-
without even shaking, without even shuddering, without even worrying, I
-
just say, what you need, you need?
-
What no here this you what here? What hell?
-
What here? What?
-
What? What? Here?
-
And this is what the Lord said to me when
-
I was my my wife? You know I love her?
-
This past Wednesday Thursday hangs, I got in trouble because
-
said how long have we been together?
-
I said all our life?
-
She said, no, said I want a number. I said,
-
that is a number, all our life. You don't know
-
how wise are I? She said, I can't believe you.
-
I you can't believe me? What because when I was
-
in my mind, I said thirty thirty seven, thirty twenty
-
twenty twenty one.
-
I spent a long time.
-
She spent a long time. Girl, Get over it?
-
I can't.
-
She said, I can't believe you. I can't believe you
-
don't even know the number. I said, Well, for five
-
years before we got married, were hanging strong?
-
Do I I'm trying to fix it? You know? Do
-
I count them five years?
-
I said?
-
Do I count? Though, mama?
