  Speaker 1: At the craziest, most inopportune moment in your life, God
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: is about to make you laugh again with a joy
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you never had before in your life. I'm not talking
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: about a blessing you saw coming. I'm talking about a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: ridiculous blessing, a crazy blessing, a blessing you're scared to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: tell anybody about because they.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Would laugh if they heard. God is about to make
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: you laugh. This is the Father's touch.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Listen, I want to share this word with you. It's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: called generations. You are worshiping a God who thinks generationally.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Sometimes he plants something in you that buds in your
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: children and blossoms in your grandchildren. It will bring forth
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: fruit to the fourth generation. Expect God to show up
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in your life in a supernatural way. The message is
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: called generations. And as we get closer to Father's Day,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: What a great time to talk about God's seed and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: what it will do when we nurture it correctly. There
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: are businesses inside of you. There are companies inside of you.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: There are great, great grandchildren inside of you. There are
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: kings inside of you and princes inside of you and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: ideas and concepts. And that's why I kept you alive.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: In spite of your craziness. It wasn't over you but
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it was over the nations that were inside of you.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I kept you alive because of divine purpose and destiny.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I sustained you through all of your foolishness. I stopped
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you from committing suicide. It wasn't that you were going
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to kill you. You were going to kill who's next.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I have a plan for your life and a future
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: for your life. And if you die here, you will
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: mix the next generation. I sustain you because I need
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you to play a role in my plan that nobody.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Else can play but you. I kept you alive. Oh
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: my God.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Slap your neighbor and tell him I am significant. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: might not look significant. My finances might not be significant.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: My home may not be significant. My job may not
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: be significant. But don't let any of those conditions move you.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I am significant. I have a role to play that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: nobody else can play but me. I have a thing
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to do that nobody else can do but me.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I am significant.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: That's why I survived. It was not that I was tough.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It was not that I was right. It was not
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that I was strong. But every time the enemy had
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: me surrounded, the Spirit of the Lord lifted up a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: standing high. Somebody pray them for victory. I don't need
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: any of the things that fell. God said, I don't
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: need any of the things that failed, any of the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: things that you tried to do that didn't work, any
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of the ways you tried to bless yourself, all of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: your mistakes that didn't work. I don't need any of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that to bless you. God said, when I get ready
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to bless you, I'm going to wipe all of that
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: out of the way. It will be as if it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: never happened at all. It will be as if it
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: never happened at all. My God, I feel like I'm
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: prophesying to somebody and I don't even know who it is.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It will be as if it never happened at all.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: When I get ready to bless you, it will come
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to pass. I'm going to make you a father. I'm
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: going to make you a life giver. I'm going to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: make you productive. I'm going to make you stable. I'm
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: going to put things in you that life didn't give you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make up for what you lack. I'm
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: going to finish raising you. I'm going to mature you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and bring you into fruition. For I am the Lord
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: your God, and beside you, there is no other.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I am God all by myself.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't come down here to talk to you about
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: sheeps and goats and tents and where you're going to live.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I came to talk to you about generations. There's something
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: inside of you that I'm going to use. Oh my God,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I feel the glory of the Lord in here. Shake
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: your neighbor and tell them there's something inside of you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: God's going to use. That's why we have young people
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: traveling from all over the country to come here to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: be a part of this conference because they're trying to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: figure out, Lord, show me the thing you have inside
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of me because I know that there's something inside of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: me that God wants to use.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Abram, there's something inside of.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You that I am going to use. I will make
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you a father. Of many nations. I'm going to give
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you a seed. Even though your factory is shut down.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Your body is shut down. Your circumstances have closed. The
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: conditions are adverse for what the prophecy details.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: That's how you're going to know it's me. Oh yeah.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says that when Abraham's seed. Which was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: really God's seed. Hit Sarah's womb. It quickened it. Brought
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it back to life again. Came down through 42 generations.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Wrapped itself up in the flesh of Mary. And when
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus came out of Mary's womb, listen to what he said.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I am the seed of Abraham. Amen.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I'm what hit Sarah's womb. I'm what quickened it and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: brought it back to life again. I am the resurrection
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and the life. He that believeth on me, though he
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: were dead, yet shall he. Oh my God, I feel
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a resurrecting anointing in this place. Somebody's about to be resurrected.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Somebody's body's about to be resurrected. Somebody's finances are about
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to be resurrected again. Somebody's whole life is about to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: be resurrected. And when Sarah brought the baby to Abraham,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: she called him Isaac, which means the Lord has made
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: me laugh. The Lord has made me laugh. Somebody in
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: this room is about to start laughing. I mean laughing.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I mean laughing. Because what God is going to do
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is going to be so ridiculous, it's going to.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Make you laugh.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: At the craziest, most inopportune moment in your life, God
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: is about to make you laugh again with a joy
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you never had before.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: In your life.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a blessing you saw coming. I'm
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: talking about a ridiculous blessing. A crazy blessing. A blessing
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you're scared to tell anybody about. Because they would laugh
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: if they heard. God is about to.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Make you laugh. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Good God Almighty.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: She comes in there holding her.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Baby. Lord have mercy, Abraham. Look what the Lord has done.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Look what the Lord has done. At the most ridiculous
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: stage in our life, we just had a baby.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And Abraham later.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Says to Sarah, give me that boy. He and I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: are going to have a father-son moment. A place where
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: mama cannot go. Packing my bag. Get the mule out back.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Me and the lad are going yonder to worship. Two
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: generations going out together. The older and the younger. Father's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Day and Youth Conference. Two different generations. Can you imagine?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Isaac's friends said, what are you doing going for a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: walk with that old man?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Y'all don't have anything in common.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Abraham's friends said, you mean you taking a trip with
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that kid?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Because we're about to have a generational conversation.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Still to come.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: On the Potterstouch. You don't stop your life because you
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: don't have everything together. Come on, boy, and keep on
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: walking with your scared self, with your nervous self, with
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: your uncertain self, with your insecure self. Don't break your gate, boy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Keep on moving. Keep your rhythm going. You got to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: keep moving forward even when you don't have details about
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: where you're going. And the Bible said that when he
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: was yet three days off, he looked up and.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Said, that's it. I want to talk about the.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Nebulous, indescript sensation that exists in life that draws us
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: towards something we cannot explain.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: The wooings of life.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Without definition or description, you know something is pulling you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and you don't even know what it is. You can't
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: explain to anybody exactly where you're going, but there's something
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: been different about you all of your life. Just a
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: sensation that wooed you, that wouldn't let you settle in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: places that you even enjoyed or stay in places that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: were appealing to you. But there was something that was
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: wooing you, saying this is not the place. This is
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: not the job. This is not the woman. This is
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: not the move. This is not the sensation. What the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: old man is teaching the young man is submission to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the inner voice. And if you get what I just said,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it's worth your whole trip. Submission to your inner voice.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to be submitted to that inner whisper. That's how things happen.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: The inner whisper.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: See, you're still trying to be submitted to coming to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: church and submitted to paying tithes and submitted to doing this.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You struggle on that level. But God wants to talk
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to you on the deeper level of being submitted to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that inner voice. If you can't obey his written voice....
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: How in the world.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Will you hear his inner voice when he whispers in
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: your soul and says, this woman, not that woman. This city,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: not that city. This place, not that place. Is there God?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Is there any man in this house that's ever heard.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: The inner voice? Yes, sir. The inner voice.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Abraham and Isaac, they're both going together. They're in Mount Moriah.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: They're the ridge of mountains. Abraham doesn't even know which one.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: But he says, I'll know it when I see it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And he's teaching the boy submission to the inner voice.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Where are we going, Daddy? I'll know it. I'll know it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I'll know it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He didn't give me a description. He didn't give me
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a map. He gave me a sensation.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: When I feel the sensation, I'll know we're at the place.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Have you ever
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: had that sensation? I was trying to explain. We were
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: sitting around the kitchen table the other night talking to
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: my son about finding a wife. I said, when she
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: is your wife, you'll know it. I can't tell you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: how you'll know it, but you'll know it. There's something
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: that goes off inside of you that says my destiny
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: is inextricably tied.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: To this woman.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to mix DNA. We're supposed to get together.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I can tell it is not who you're attracted to.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: It's not she got to be five foot three. It's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: not she's got to have long hair. It may be
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the opposite to all of that because this is not
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a fleshly knowing.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: This is a spirit knowing.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: When you know that you know that you know.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: We need more men that can submit to the inner voice.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Where you'll stop making dumb mistakes. And wait to hear
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the sound. And when you hear the sound.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Move out. For the Lord is with you. He.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: The old man in his confused stupor teaches the young
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: man submission through his insufficiencies. This is where most fathers
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: miss it. You always want to show the children how
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: strong you are. But they'll learn so much more. By
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: how weak you are. How vulnerable you are. How confused
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you are. How uncertain you are. Because they are vulnerable too.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: And confused too. And uncertain too. And they will conclude.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: If God can bless you in your stupor. He can
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: bless me too. So take off your Superman cape. Put
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the boots in the closet. Put your glasses on. And
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: show the kid Clark Kent. Because your real testimony is
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: not in how smart you are. It's in how confused
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you were. But God blessed you anyway. It's not in
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the things you did right. It's in the things you
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: did wrong. That's what the boy needs to know. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: in spite of all of that, you heard something. You
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: sensed something. You felt something And Abraham walks with him. Daddy,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: where are we going? I'm not exactly sure, son. I'm
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: playing it by ear, son. I'm feeling my way through.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I'm doing the best I can with what I got.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Most fathers fear being a part of their children's lives
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: because the father is not perfect. But the Lord told
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: me to tell you men, bring what you have. He said,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: be sure to You tell the men to bring what
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you have. Even when what you have doesn't seem like enough.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Bring what you have.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Don't wait till you get it together to be a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: part of your child's life. Bring what you have. You
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: may not make enough money. You may not have finished college.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: You may have stopped short. You may have quit a job.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: You may have started a business. Business is in trouble.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be perfect, fellas. You have to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: be present. Where are the men in the house?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Boy, all of.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: These years, I was never sure. And even if I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: got you by the hand, I don't know which mountain.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: But I learned to submit to the inner voice. How
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: did you learn to submit to the inner voice? By
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: making dumb mistakes. By sleeping with Hagar.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Come on, come on.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: By adopting Eliezer. By all the things that didn't work,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I learned what did. There is a voice that lives
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: in the heart of a father.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: It is a compass. It is a.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: GPS system that he knows stuff.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: He cannot put into words.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Have you ever noticed how hard it is for us
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to talk about our feelings? The worst thing in the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: world is for a woman to say, talk to me
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: about your feelings. I'll talk to you about the football game.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to you about what we're going to do
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: with it. Because somewhere down inside of you is a compass,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: is a guide. It's a purpose. It's what makes you
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a man. It's what makes you a man. It's when
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you learn to listen at that inner voice. And Abraham
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and Isaac walked together and he said, boy, don't let
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the uncertainty break your gate.
