  Genesis chapter 28. Let us pray.
• 0:08
  Lord God our Father, our everything.
• 0:13
  God, we thank you for life. We thank you for breath.
• 0:16
  We thank you for the blood that pours down Calvary and covers
• 0:21
  us. Thank you for the water spilled
• 0:24
  out of your side. God we drink of it.
• 0:27
  Father, we never thirst again. We thank you, Lord, for giving
• 0:31
  us the Holy Spirit, for giving us the Helper, the Advocate.
• 0:35
  Thank you, God, that we can gird up our loins and stand in the
• 0:39
  presence. We come running boldly into the
• 0:42
  throne room, Father. We come and sit at the table,
• 0:45
  Lord. We dine and Sup with you, God.
• 0:48
  We eat sumptuously upon the bread of life, God.
• 0:51
  We take our fill today, God, We drink of the blood, Father.
• 0:55
  We thank you for the remembrance, Lord, of what you
• 0:58
  did, God. Thank you for giving us the
• 1:01
  ability to come and to reason and to think and God to approach
• 1:05
  you boldly. Father, we ask that we can touch
• 1:08
  the hem of your garment. Father, we come.
• 1:11
  Lord, we come. Expect it today that you're
• 1:14
  going to do a mighty work in our lives.
• 1:18
  God, I pray that you'll snatch those out of darkness and bring
• 1:22
  them into the Kingdom of light. God, I pray that we will not
• 1:25
  succumb to all of the things of this world.
• 1:28
  The cultural pulls of the silence.
• 1:32
  Father, help us not to be silent.
• 1:34
  Help us to speak up. Father, for all the things that
• 1:37
  your word says, the revealed will that you've given us from
• 1:40
  Genesis to Revelation, Father, we thank you for the complete
• 1:45
  authority of your word. We thank you for all of the
• 1:48
  mandates. Lord, we thank you for all of
• 1:52
  your promises that you've given us.
• 1:54
  God, I pray for the prophetic timeline to come into fruition.
• 1:59
  God, we pray that Jesus return is imminent.
• 2:02
  We speed the day. God, we look up and see our
• 2:05
  redemption is drawing near. We see the leaves on the fig
• 2:09
  tree. God, but help us to wait well in
• 2:12
  the middle. Help us to understand that
• 2:14
  you're still working. Help us not to sit on our
• 2:17
  blessed assurance. Help us to be found in the
• 2:20
  firefight. God out in the streets and the
• 2:22
  hardest and the darkest places. God, we intercede for those who
• 2:26
  don't even know how to pray, they don't even know how to
• 2:29
  read. God, we intercede for those,
• 2:31
  Lord, and we ask that we can be the ministers of reconciliation
• 2:36
  that you've called us into. God, more than conquerors, you
• 2:39
  are a right guard, our rear guard.
• 2:41
  God, you are our front guard. You're the left guard.
• 2:44
  You're high above us, Lord, and you are everywhere that we go.
• 2:48
  Even if we are to make our bed in hell, Father, you are there.
• 2:51
  So, Lord, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that you will come
• 2:57
  and shower us with your presence, with your Shekinah
• 3:00
  glory. God, shower us, Father, with
• 3:03
  your, with the light, Father. Make us the light, Lord.
• 3:09
  Make us salt, Lord. Make us more like Jesus today,
• 3:13
  Lord, I pray that we will not play games with you, Father, but
• 3:16
  we'll get serious about following after you.
• 3:19
  God, surely you're in this place.
• 3:22
  Thank you, God, for these scriptures.
• 3:24
  Thank you for the words Lord. You are omnipotent and
• 3:28
  omniscient. God, you're everywhere at all
• 3:31
  times. You're all powerful and all
• 3:33
  knowing God, nothing is hidden from you.
• 3:36
  It's all naked and laid bare. And so God, we come running in
• 3:40
  waving the word of God in front of you, God, and we are
• 3:44
  reminding you of the promises that you, Lord God, have
• 3:49
  promised to your Saints. And you told us, Lord, that
• 3:52
  we're two or more gathered. There you are, God.
• 3:55
  You told us that anything that we ask in your name shall be
• 3:59
  done, God. So we pray in the name of Jesus
• 4:02
  Christ for healing. Lord, Move the mountain, Father.
• 4:05
  Move the ocean, Lord, and let us walk across on dry land.
• 4:12
  Father, I pray that you'll take out cancer, Lord, take out heart
• 4:17
  disease, Lord, take out epilepsy, Lord, take out
• 4:22
  dementia and Alzheimer's, God, take out juvenile diabetes.
• 4:27
  Father, I pray God that you'll take out all of our infirmities,
• 4:31
  Lord, and heal us in the name of Jesus.
• 4:34
  Lord, I pray you'll reverse all of the ailments of the Saints,
• 4:39
  Father. But if you decide to leave us in
• 4:41
  that, Lord, I pray that you'll give us the peace.
• 4:44
  This surpasses all understanding, knowing God that
• 4:47
  you're working everything out, the good of those who love you
• 4:51
  and who are called according to your purposes.
• 4:53
  So, Lord, we pray that you will give us understanding, give us
• 4:58
  discernment. In this hour, strengthen the
• 5:01
  church. Father, I pray God for
• 5:04
  marriages. I pray for the family.
• 5:07
  I pray God, for righteous leaders, competent leaders, God
• 5:12
  to rise up in the land. I pray for a global, worldwide
• 5:16
  revival. Father, bring it on.
• 5:18
  Every continent, every people group, God, every language and
• 5:22
  tongue crying out, Yeshua, I'm Messiah, crying out.
• 5:26
  I Usus Father, I pray that we'll cry out for our king and for his
• 5:33
  return. Lord, and dwell us.
• 5:35
  Lord, fill us. Holy Spirit, teach us and wreck
• 5:38
  us today. And it's in your holy and
• 5:40
  precious and powerful name that I pray King Jesus, Amen.
• 5:48
  Well, let's start in verse one. And Isaac called Jacob, and
• 5:53
  blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, You shall not
• 5:56
  take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
• 5:59
  So it looks as if Rebecca's talk with Isaac has worked.
• 6:07
  And she went and said she was so beside herself for the thought
• 6:11
  of Jacob taking a wife from the Philistines.
• 6:17
  And so Isaac here is finally let go of Esau being his favorite
• 6:23
  and Esau as the one to be blessed.
• 6:26
  And he's finally turned his attention to Jacob and he's
• 6:29
  agreed with his wife to send him off back to her family to find a
• 6:35
  wife to arise and go to Paranaram, to the House of
• 6:40
  Bechuel, your mother's father, and take you a wife from there
• 6:45
  of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
• 6:48
  So he was to go and find a cousin.
• 6:51
  He was going to go and intermarry into the family
• 6:56
  there. And that is what is pronounced
• 6:59
  here. And you can see that the
• 7:00
  trickery of Jacob and the deception of the mother and out
• 7:06
  pacing and out stepping God has resulted in this separation.
• 7:11
  But look at how God is working everything out friends.
• 7:14
  He can use it without excusing it.
• 7:17
  Never forget that there ain't God Almighty bless you and make
• 7:23
  you fruitful and multiply you, that you may be a multitude of
• 7:29
  people. So here is the blessing upon
• 7:32
  Jacob, who will later become Israel.
• 7:34
  He went from the heel grabber to wrestles with God.
• 7:39
  And we're going to see that, friends, as we go through this
• 7:43
  book. And you're going to find out
• 7:44
  here that Isaac finally understood that God is God
• 7:52
  Almighty. He is the All Supreme, He is our
• 7:58
  everything. And that is why he is called
• 8:00
  here. God Almighty make you fruitful.
• 8:06
  So what an amazing title that Isaac finally gets to understand
• 8:13
  and he sends him over to Laban. And Laban is much more clever
• 8:20
  than Jacob ever wished to be. And you can see how God is going
• 8:24
  to use Laban to teach Jacob a few things for and give you the
• 8:33
  blessing of Abraham to you and to your seed with you, that you
• 8:37
  may inherit the land where you are a stranger, which God gave
• 8:42
  unto Abraham. So this was Jacob's grandfather.
• 8:45
  This was Isaac's dad. And God had promised all these
• 8:49
  things to Abraham. And by default, by genealogy
• 8:53
  friends, it went down to Isaac. And now it's going down into the
• 8:58
  younger friends and and God told them that the older would serve
• 9:03
  the younger. And so you see that Jacob here
• 9:07
  is actually the younger son, but the promise and the covenant is
• 9:12
  actually sidestepping Esau because he cared nothing for the
• 9:16
  spiritual things. He was only a carnal minded man.
• 9:20
  And you see that God chose Jacob and he knew Jacob's character.
• 9:25
  Even though he was a heel catcher, even though he did
• 9:29
  deceive, that was not his identity.
• 9:32
  His identity was to be the father of the 12 tribes and all
• 9:37
  the names written on the gates of the New Jerusalem.
• 9:41
  What an amazing thought, friends, that the the whole
• 9:43
  entire Jewish nation is born out of this lineage.
• 9:50
  Five And Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went to Paranaram unto
• 9:54
  Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca,
• 9:59
  Jacob, and Esau's mother. So we see here that before God
• 10:03
  called Abraham, he was also a Syrian.
• 10:07
  And you see that God created an entire nation and promised the
• 10:11
  land and promised the blessings, and gave him the covenant.
• 10:16
  And it was not even dependent upon actions.
• 10:18
  It was all dependent upon God's love and mercy, friends, and
• 10:23
  that God desired to make him into a nation.
• 10:26
  And we do see that Abraham moved in obedience.
• 10:30
  We see that he was the father of faith and that he was the friend
• 10:34
  of God. And you can see here why God
• 10:36
  chose him. And it's an amazing thing when
• 10:39
  you see 2020, when you see with clear vision, when you get on
• 10:44
  the other side of prophecy and look backwards, it's amazing.
• 10:48
  And you can see why God does the things that he does.
• 10:51
  But when you're on the ground floor, when you're in the
• 10:53
  trenches, friends, when you're on the jungle floor and you
• 10:57
  can't see the helicopter view above you, then it's hard,
• 11:01
  friends. And that is where we need faith.
• 11:03
  We need to understand that God is moving everything in
• 11:06
  accordance to His perfect will that He revealed to us in His
• 11:11
  Word. And if we'll get in the Word and
• 11:13
  study the Word, if we'll own the Word and live the Word, friends,
• 11:17
  we will not walk blindly, friends, we'll live by faith.
• 11:20
  Even though we can't see it, we already know what the end is and
• 11:24
  in the middle we can have hope. And that is what it looks like
• 11:29
  to follow after an almighty God. 6 And when Esau saw that Isaac
• 11:39
  had blessed Jacob, he's and sent him away to Padalaram to take a
• 11:44
  wife from there, and that as he blessed him, he gave him a
• 11:48
  charge saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of
• 11:51
  Canaan. So we already know that Esau has
• 11:54
  taken wives of the daughters of Canaan.
• 11:57
  And look at how this man who is irrational within his own mind,
• 12:02
  he cannot even figure out his tail from his nose.
• 12:07
  And you can see here that he's trying to look in and he wants
• 12:11
  to win some kind of favoritism with his father.
• 12:15
  And it's pathetic. And let's see what he does.
• 12:22
  Seven it, and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and
• 12:25
  was gone to put down the realm. 8 And Esau, seeing that the
• 12:30
  daughters of Canaan please not Isaac his father. 9 Then went
• 12:34
  Esau unto Ishmael, and took to the wives, which he had Mahala,
• 12:40
  the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of
• 12:44
  Nabajah, to be his wife. So you see here that Esau is so
• 12:50
  deranged in his thinking that he goes and not only does he marry
• 12:55
  the daughters from Canaan, but then he turns around and marries
• 13:00
  a daughter of Ishmael. 10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba
• 13:08
  and went towards Iran. 11 And he lighted upon a certain place and
• 13:14
  tarried there all night, because the sun was set, And he took up
• 13:18
  the stones of that place and put them for pillows, and laid down
• 13:22
  in that place to sleep. So here is one of the most
• 13:26
  famous Bible stories in the entire Word of God.
• 13:30
  And you can see here that Jacob's about to understand
• 13:35
  something about the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac.
• 13:39
  He's about to understand that God is for him and not against
• 13:44
  him. And God is moving everything in
• 13:48
  complete accordance to his perfect will and his perfect
• 13:52
  plan for all of humanity, friends.
• 13:55
  And he's about to bless him and birth the nation out of Jacob.
• 14:01
  12 And he dreamed and beheld a ladder set up on the earth, and
• 14:06
  the top of it reached to heaven, and behold the angels of God
• 14:10
  ascending and descending on it. That is the Son of man, that is
• 14:15
  Christ. The latter is Jesus Christ,
• 14:18
  friends. And you can see here that Jacob
• 14:22
  finally gets introduced to the Son of God.
• 14:27
  He finally gets introduced to our hope, to the only way to the
• 14:33
  Father, and that is the hope that we possess is Jesus Christ
• 14:39
  and the salvation that he wrought for us on Calvary.
• 14:43
  And here it is all types and shadows, and he's showing Jacob
• 14:47
  what is to come, The ladder of Christ, Christ as being this go
• 14:52
  between heaven and earth, Friends. 13 And behold, the Lord
• 14:58
  stood above it and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham your
• 15:01
  father, and the God of Isaac, the land where you lie to you, I
• 15:07
  will give it, and to your seed. So here we're going to see where
• 15:12
  this little land becomes the House of God.
• 15:15
  And he calls it, Jacob's going to call it the gate of heaven
• 15:21
  here. And I want you to know, friends,
• 15:23
  that this is available anywhere on planet earth, friends.
• 15:28
  And God has a very peculiar plan for the nation Israel and for
• 15:32
  the land there. And Jesus Christ is going to
• 15:35
  rule and reign for 1000 years from that literal geographical
• 15:39
  place on planet earth. New Jerusalem comes onto a brand
• 15:44
  new earth, new heaven and new earth, friends, everything made
• 15:47
  new. And God has a very special plan
• 15:52
  for that land, friends. And here you can see that Jacob
• 15:57
  is getting to understand a little bit more about the God of
• 16:01
  his father and the God of his grandfather. 14 And your seed
• 16:09
  shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread
• 16:12
  abroad to the West, and to the east, and to the north and to
• 16:16
  the South. And in you and in your seed
• 16:19
  shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
• 16:22
  Don't get it twisted. Make sure you lock in.
• 16:24
  Make sure you understand what this entire text is telling us,
• 16:29
  that all of the world, every single nation, every single
• 16:35
  people group, every single language, every single ruler and
• 16:40
  principality, friend, has to come through the God of Abraham,
• 16:46
  Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel, the God of the Jews.
• 16:50
  That is how we come in to all of eternity.
• 16:54
  That is how we are given our immortal bodies that will live
• 16:58
  forever and ever in His presence.
• 17:01
  Friends, there is no other way unto the Father, except through
• 17:05
  the Son that came through the Jewish line.
• 17:10
  Friends of Jacob here. And he tells him that his
• 17:15
  descendants will be more innumerable than all the dust on
• 17:19
  the earth. Can you even imagine it?
• 17:21
  15 And behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places
• 17:25
  where you go, and will bring you again into this land.
• 17:29
  For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have
• 17:32
  spoken to you of. So here God is promising Jacob
• 17:36
  that he is going to fuel, he is going to funnel, He is going to
• 17:41
  make sure that all the promises that he gave to to Abraham and
• 17:45
  gave to Isaac will be fulfilled through Jacob.
• 17:50
  And Jacob couldn't mess it up if he wanted to.
• 17:52
  And we're still seeing the ramifications of a people group
• 17:56
  who outstep God and outpace God and want to do things on their
• 18:01
  own will and their own accordance.
• 18:04
  And God's will will be done, no matter, friends.
• 18:07
  It'll all happen exactly the way that He said that it will.
• 18:12
  But it does not excuse all of the mischievousness.
• 18:17
  It does not excuse the sinfulness of mankind.
• 18:21
  God will have His way, and God will make sure that everything
• 18:24
  goes in accordance to plan. But if we step out of the
• 18:28
  perfect and pleasing will of God, there is discipline for us,
• 18:33
  and there is a loss of rewards for us and for those who are
• 18:36
  doing things outside of the will of God.
• 18:39
  There is eternal damnation for those who are using and abusing
• 18:44
  the things of God, and it is to their own detriment. 16 And
• 18:52
  Jacob woke out of his sleep and said, surely the Lord is in this
• 18:57
  place, and I knew it not. He is yet to make the
• 19:01
  connection. He's still operating within his
• 19:04
  own senses. He's still operating within his
• 19:07
  own intellect. He's still operating within the
• 19:11
  confines of religion and God wants to take him to
• 19:16
  relationship and to Covenant 17 And he was afraid and said, how
• 19:24
  dreadful is this place? This is none other than the
• 19:28
  House of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
• 19:32
  Jesus Christ revealed himself to Him pre Incarnate.
• 19:37
  And Jacob here is finally getting to understand the
• 19:41
  severity and the seriousness and the weight of God's glory.
• 19:46
  Friends 18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and he
• 19:54
  took the stone that he had put for his pillow, and he set it up
• 19:58
  for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it, the oil of
• 20:03
  gladness, the Holy Spirit being filled, being.
• 20:08
  Poured out upon the stones, friends.
• 20:10
  And Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone, and he was right to
• 20:14
  make an altar there. He was right to worship God in
• 20:18
  that place. But, Friends, we can do that in
• 20:21
  our houses. We can do that in our cars.
• 20:23
  We can do that in the workplace. We can do that on vacation.
• 20:27
  We can do that everywhere that we go, Friends.
• 20:30
  We worship the Lord God because you are the temple. 19 And he
• 20:37
  called the name of that place Beth El, but the name of the
• 20:41
  city was called Luz at the first.
• 20:44
  So this is the House of God. This is the gate of heaven. 20
• 20:48
  And Jacob bowed about saying, If God will be with me and will
• 20:59
  keep me in this way, that I go, will give me bread to eat and
• 21:06
  clothing put on, 21 so that I come again to my father's house
• 21:12
  in peace, then shall the Lord be my God.
• 21:17
  The Lord God is his God, regardless of this little deal
• 21:20
  that he's trying to make with God.
• 21:23
  But thank God that he is so long-suffering and he is so
• 21:28
  patient with us, as we are still being sanctified, as we are
• 21:34
  still ignorant within our own intellect and we're still
• 21:38
  relying on our own cleverness. And God sits in heaven and
• 21:43
  laughs. 22 In this stone which I have set for a pillar shall be
• 21:52
  God's house, and of all that you shall give me, I will surely
• 21:57
  give a 10th unto you. So here he's trying to strike a
• 22:01
  deal with God, and says, If you'll do your end of the
• 22:03
  bargain, then I'll make you my God, and I'll give you some
• 22:06
  money. And sadly, friends, this very
• 22:12
  place that God revealed himself mightily to Jacob, to Israel,
• 22:22
  will slowly become a place of idol worship and that God will
• 22:29
  send them into captivity for their disobedience.
• 22:33
  The will of God is perfect and He will make it all come to
• 22:37
  fruition in due time. But in the meantime and in
• 22:40
  between time, we have some responsibility.
• 22:44
  And it is to break down all of the false idols, pulverize them
• 22:48
  into dust. It is to consecrate the temple
• 22:51
  and get rid of all the merchandisers and drive them out
• 22:55
  with the cord, friends, and do not let them cohabitate within
• 22:58
  the holy sanctuary. Friends, Jesus Christ deserves
• 23:05
  all of our attention, all of our honor, all of our glory.
• 23:11
  We give it all over to Him. We spill out all the oil,
• 23:16
  friends, upon His feet, we pour out the alabaster, friends, we
• 23:20
  anoint Him with our tears because He is so worthy.
• 23:24
  I pray that you've been blessed by this amazing chapter in God's
• 23:27
  Word. I know I sure have many times
