When God Is Up To Something - Bishop T.D. Jakes · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Look at somebody and holler, God is up to something.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Get your Bibles and go to Genesis chapter 26, verse
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: 1 through 6. And then we're going to drop down
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to verse 13 through 16. I really wanted to read
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, but to expedite the time, I'm going
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to go this way. Genesis 26, 1 through 6. And
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: then we're going to go down through 13 and 6.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Say it again, God is up to something. How many
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of you sense in the middle of it, I mean,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I know it's crazy right now. Chaos everywhere. Globally, nationally,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and personally. And yet in the middle of the acknowledgement
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of the fact that all that drama is going on,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: yet there is amongst the believers a sense that God
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is up to something. And I'm going to share with
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you because I try very hard to make sure that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I have received more than a sermon but a prophetic
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: utterance from God that prepares your heart and mind for
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: what is next. Let's read the word of God and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: as we read the word of God I may stop
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: occasionally and dissect it. And there was a famine in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the land besides the first time that was in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: days of Abraham. So this has happened before And Isaac
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: went unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines, unto Gerar. And
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the Lord appeared unto him, and the Lord appeared unto him,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and said, Go not down into Egypt. I'm going to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: do that later with Joseph. Dwell in the land which
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I shall tell thee of. Wait, stay right there. Dwell
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: in the land which I shall tell thee of. Stay
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: where I told you. Dwell in the land which I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: shall tell thee. There's something about being in the right
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: place at the right time. I would have hated to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: not been here this morning. If my wife would have
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: come home telling me about the service, I could never
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: get secondhand information that clearly enunciated the magnitude of what
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: God has already done. Dwell in the land which I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: will tell thee of. Sojourn in this land. Sojourn in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: this land. In other words, I want you to stay
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in this land and tarry in this land and I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: will be with thee and I will bless thee. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: will be with thee and I will bless thee. For
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: these countries. God. And I will perform the oath which
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I swear unto Abraham thy father. This didn't even start
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: with you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. God is still answering your grandmama's prayers.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And I will make thy seed to multiply as the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: stars of heaven and will give unto thy seed all
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: these countries. And in thy seed, and in thy seed,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and in thy seed. See, you got the seed. In
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: thy seed, in thy seed shall all the nations of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the earth be blessed. Glory to God. Because that Abraham
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statues,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and my laws. And Isaac dwelt in Gerard. He stayed
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: where God put him. Now, we're going to go down
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to verse 13. But in between these passages, Isaac has
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: had this encounter while he's in Gerard. where he has
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: lied about who his wife was. He doesn't want Abimelech
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to know that Rebecca is his wife. And so he
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: lies about it. And Abimelech looks out and finds Isaac
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: kind of flirting with his wife. King James Version says, sporting.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I never will forget an old church mother one time
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: told me she used to work in the sporting house.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what a sporting house was. So I said,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: what is a sporting house, mother? She said, oh, baby,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you know what a sporting house is. I said, no, ma'am,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know what a sporting house is. And if
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: y'all don't know, I'll have to tell you later. It
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was hard for me to associate the church mother, you know.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So the King James Version says he was sporting with her.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So you figure out what it means. And all of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a sudden Abimelech knew that Isaac was lying, saying that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Rebekah was his sister. Because don't nobody sport with their sister.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They're not supposed to anyway.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Even Abimelech knew that in the Old Testament. Leave your
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: sister alone. And he got upset with him and he
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: got angry with him because he had hidden it. I'm
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: going to go into this some more, but it's interesting
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that Isaac repeats the same pattern as his father Abraham
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: had repeated, only he's even worse than And I'll tell
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you why later. He's even worse. And he did it
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: without seeing his father do it. Because when his father
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: did it, he was not yet born. So he did
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: not do it because he had seen his father's behavior
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't modeling it. And yet he repeated it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Very interesting how things convey from generation to generation. Whether
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you see it or not, some of your proclivities are
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: embedded in you. Oh my God. In spite of the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: atrocity of his behavior and his habits and his sins,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the next verse right after that is dealt with says,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and the man waxed great and went forward and grew
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: until he became very great. It's fascinating to me how
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: this text fascinates. One moment they're telling me Isaac is
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a liar. And the next moment they're telling me that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he went on and grew great. One moment they're telling
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: me that there's a famine. And the next moment they're
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: telling him, if you stay in the land I placed
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you in spite of the famine around you, I'll feed
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you in the famine. God says, I'll feed you in
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the famine. Stop talking to me about the famine because
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the famine don't have anything to do with you. A
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: thousand may fall at the right side. Ten thousand may
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: fall at the left side. It shall not come nigh
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: thy dwelling place. I will feed you in the family.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Because this ain't got nothing to do with your environment, Isaac.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: This is between me and you. And even though your
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: behavior vacillates. Anyway, let me. For he had possessions of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: flocks and possessions of herds and great store of servants.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: God blessed Isaac so. And see the reason God blessed
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: him so is that Isaac sowed a seed in that land.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: He sowed a seed in that land and God blessed him.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and a great store of servants. and the Philistines envied him.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: For all the wells which his father's servants had digged
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: stopped them and filled them with earth. And Abimelech said
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: unto Isaac, Go from us, for thou art much mightier
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: than we. My subject this morning is is when God
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: is up to something. I appeal to your instincts, not
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: your intellect. Because when God is up to something, he
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: may not inform you what he's up to. And yet
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: he is up to something. I can't wait for y'all.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I've been waiting on y'all to get here. I woke up,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it was still dark. Couldn't wait for church. Because the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit told me, I am working even when my
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: people don't see that I'm working. I am up to something.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Are you hearing what I'm saying? Let's pray. Spirit of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the living God, fall fresh on your word today. Move
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: in a supernatural way as only you can move. Have
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: your way in the midst of your people, great God,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that you are. You are sovereign. You are absolute. You
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: are the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I Am of Israel, the mighty God, the Prince of Peace,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the everlasting Father, the omnipotent One. All power is in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: your hand. auspicious God, ruler of winds and waves and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: seas and oceans and planets and galaxies. All power is
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in your hand. And yet you can focus on me
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to the point that the hairs on our head are numbered.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Not counted, but numbered. If one gets caught in a comb,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you know which one it was. That's how aware you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: are of me. I pray that that awareness would collaborate
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: with this text in such a supernatural way that we
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: are endowed with the sensation of having a conversation with God.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And I believe you for it. I trust you for it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I rely on you for it. I lean on you
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: for it. Do it in the midst of your people.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, we pray. Somebody shout amen.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: You may be seated. Yeah, let's go to work. I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: want you to notice as we preface this text that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: both Abraham and Isaac have this in common. They are sojourners.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: They are people who are on a journey. They are
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: people who are primarily nomadic. There are years that go
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: by before they stabilize in one place. I say that
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: only to point out to you that walking into the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: blessings and the purpose of God is a journey. It's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: not an instantaneous thing. It doesn't happen automatically. When God
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: says to Abraham, get thee out of thy country and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: away from thy kindred and go to a land that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I will show thee of, he doesn't zap him there.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: We live in this automated age where we want to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: be zapped into things, not understanding how essential the journey is.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: The people of God in the Old Testament were nomadic,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: moving from place to place. Living in tents, they were
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: prepared to go at his beck or call. And yet
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: we are trying to build monuments to a God who
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: is a movement. Your God is a moving God. From
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the book of Genesis, when the spirit of the Lord
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: moved upon the face of the deep, to the book
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of Revelations, even so come Lord Jesus. Every time you
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: look at God, he's on the move. One point he
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was moving through the tops of the trees, rustling in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the leaves, and they were moving with God as God
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: was moving. And you got to move when God says move,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and you got to be still when God says be still.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Because God is a moving God. He has always resisted
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: living in houses. We built houses for a God who
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: will not be stationary. He is nomadic. And like him,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: those who follow him flow with him. So Abraham went
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: on a journey. And now Abraham and Sarah are deceased.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: And Isaac is a grown man. And he too is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: on a journey. Now often what causes the journey is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the famine. Our proclivity is to pray against the famine.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: When often the famine is the catalyst that God uses
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to move you from place to place. Now, not just
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: famines for food. It can be famines for peace, famines
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: for life. famines for opportunity but often when God doesn't
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: move in the place you want him to move he
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: will allow you to experience famines to force you to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: pack your tent up and move to the next dimension
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that's why all your rebuking the devil and binding the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: devil hasn't worked because God can allow the famine to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: move you into the next dimension of what he is
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: going to do In your life. Am I preaching good? Yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: The other thing I want you to notice is that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: God moves generationally. While most of us think situationally, God
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: moves generationally. You might not like this part. We are
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: always praying to God about situations when God has a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: plan that is generational. Sometimes God doesn't move you for you.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: He moves you for your descendants. He moves you to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: position you in a place that in your lifetime you
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: don't fully understand exactly why you did what you did.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: But out of that movement, God is thinking generationally while
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: you are thinking situationally. I'm going to tell you why
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: this is important. A lot of you are disappointed because
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: God hasn't fixed your situations. But God is concerned about
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: your generation. And sometimes God will use your situation to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: move your generation into the place that he wants it
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to go. Sure, we all want to see our children blessed.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. We want to see our
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: children blessed. But we are so focused on our dream,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: our comfort, our calling, that we seldom see the omniscience
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of God's divine strategy. That is to say that sometimes
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: we don't accept inconvenience to accomplish divine purpose. Purpose will
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: always require inconvenience. Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I said, do you hear what I'm saying to you?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: God tells Father Abraham that his children will sojourn in
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Egypt for 400 years and afterwards they will come out
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: with great substance. Before Abraham dies, God speaks to him
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and says, your children will sojourn in Egypt for 400
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: years and afterwards they will come out with great substance.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I only bring this up to let you see how
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: far ahead God is thinking. God has a 400, at
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: least a 400 year plan. You praying about next week.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: And God is telling Abraham, go ahead and rest and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: don't worry about anything. I got a 400 year strategy.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says in Ephesians that he worketh all
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: things after the counsel of his own will. That means
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: that God is working things not after the counsel of
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: your will, but after the counsel of his own will.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Then it goes on to say, which he hath purposed
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: in himself. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Now, it's
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: hard to preach this to a narcissistic society who thinks
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: everything is about you. It's very difficult to preach this
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: kind of message to a generation of people who have
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Jiffy Cornbread. Half of this room... has never tasted anything
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but instant grits. Most of this room doesn't remember what
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a rotary phone was or a party line. We got
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: an Apple 18. We can't remember numbers anymore because the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: machines are sapping our intelligence. Because when nothing is required
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of you, you lose the ability to remember it. I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: grew up at a time that you had to remember
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: people's phone numbers. Now the one who could remember it
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: at 15 can't remember it now at 65. Not because
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I'm old. I'm spoiled. My phone just does it quick.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I hit the name and it dials for me. Sometimes convenience.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: is an enemy to intelligence and it creates an atmosphere
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that we are so caught up in culture that we
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: expect God to submit to culture but God it's God
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: God is God. Before there was a where, when, or
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: this or that, God was God. God was God. God
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: was God before Google. God was God before Microsoft. God
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: was God before technology. God was God before any of
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the things that we take for granted now. And we
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: expect God to work like our little machines. In our
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: own time. But he tells Abraham, after 400 years, your
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: seed will come out with great substance. It is the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: afterwards of God that we don't talk about. If it
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen quickly, we get angry with a God who
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: has the end planned from the beginning. This thing is
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: already set, y'all. You'd have pulled up a chair in
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: front of your LED screen and you're watching the news
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: like God is trying to figure it out. First thing
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: in the morning, you're turning it on. You're turning on
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: your phone for updates. God doesn't do updates. Your update
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: is past date to God. Your updates are outmoded by God.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: God has determined the end from the beginning. You know
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: when I'm not doing this, we shoot films and produce films.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: And I used to think that films were shot in sequence.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: But they're not. For budgetary reasons alone, often the end
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: is shot from the beginning. So that when you're in
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the editing suite, all you have to do is edit
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: it into the ending because the ending is already set.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: In biblical terms, this is predestined. Predestined. I'm telling you
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: half of the things you're worried about are already set.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: They're already in place. They're already there. Now, now, now, now,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: you must understand that God is working on something that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: is generational. And we're reading about something that is situational.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: And what God is talking to Isaac about is about
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: his dead father Abraham and the covenant that he made
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: with him. And he said, I have given Abraham my word.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Abraham is dead. And God is keeping his word to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: a dead man. Now, you know if God's integrity is
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: strong enough to keep his word to a corpse, how
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: much more will he keep his word? Come on, church.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: How much more will he keep his word towards you?
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Most people, they keep their word while you're living. Not most,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: some of them, just a few of them keep their
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: word when you're living. Very few people will keep their
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: word after you're gone. Abraham is dead and God is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: directing his seed, Isaac, into a place of blessing in
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the middle of a famine because God has given his
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: word to protect his seed. Somebody throw your hands up
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and say, protect my seed. Protect my seed. Protect my seed.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Protect my son. Protect my daughter. Protect my seed. Protect
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: my resources. Protect my finances. Everything I commit into your hands,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I commit it into your hands for your protection. Regardless
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to what Fox is saying. Regardless to what MSNBC is saying.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Regardless to what is going on in the world. Regardless
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to what's going on on CNN. My prayer is protect
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: my seed. I don't care how many famines come in.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: In other places. Leave me beside the still waters. Leave
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: me in the green pastures. Put me in the place
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that you want me to be. Because God has a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: place for you. Where the blessings will flow. Often the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: blessing is only in that place. If you forsake that place.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: He said don't leave where I put you. Because once
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I put you in a place, I put your provision
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in the place. So like Hagar who ran away from Sarai,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: God said the only reason you're in a desert and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: your baby is crying and about to die is because
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you left the place of my provision. Good God. I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: put you here. Stay right here. The enemy is trying
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to woo you this way and that way. Stay right here.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: When I move, you move. When I move, somebody say when.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: When God moves, I move. I'm not going to move
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: till God moves. When God moves... I never built a house.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I stayed in a tent. I stayed ready for change.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I stayed ready for transition. Now this makes a lot
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: of people uncomfortable because you don't like change. But change
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: is inevitable. Change is inevitable. This whole text is nothing
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: but change. The whole thing is relative to change. Now,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: there are three patriarchal characters from which God will establish
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: himself in the earth. Generally, when one sets out to build,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the first thing to be considered is the bill. When
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: one sets out to build, the first thing to be
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: considered is the bill. Nobody gets ready to build a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: house without asking how much it costs. To walk with
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: God is expensive. If you are going to build, there
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: will always be a bill. You don't start building and
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: then ask about the bill unless you're stupid. I have
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to have an out clause because some people do that.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Let me say it in Bible. No man goeth to
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: build without counting up the costs. So there's a correlation
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: between building and billing. What am I trying to say?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: It's going to cost you something. It's always going to
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: cost you something. You shout about the harvest, but you
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: ignore the seed. You shout about increase, but you don't
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: understand that in order to increase, you got to decrease.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: You shout about being exalted, but you resist being humble.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: And because you refuse to be humble, God resisted the proud.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: God won't take you up because you already acting up.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Excuse me for being generational, but back in our day,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: we called it uppity. She acted all uppity. See, we
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: act all uppity. We act up because we want to
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: impress people. But if you really want to go up,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: humble yourself. And the more you humble yourself, the more
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: God will exalt you. The more God exalts you, you
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: got to be careful. With success, you got to be
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: successful because success will make you drunk. Success will go
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to your head and make you start talking silly to
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: people that the same people you meet on your way up,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you're going to meet them. Now you understand here that
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Isaac is experiencing a blessing because he sowed a seed
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: In that land. The Bible is careful to say in
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that land. Now the land that they gave him, because
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Isaac is a Hebrew, the land that the Philistia gave
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: him wasn't particularly good land. And he's kind of leasing
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the land. He doesn't own it. But God blessed him.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: him in something that he doesn't own. All around him
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the people have the best land. He has the weakest
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: soil and the greatest harvest. Whenever the soil is weak
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: and the harvest is abundant, that's showing you that God
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: is with you. Because wherever God is, he'll take less
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and do more with it. Do y'all hear what I'm
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: talking about? I'm talking about your daddy. You ought to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: be cheering your daddy on. I'm talking about your daddy.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I preached a few weeks ago, you have permission. And
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you remember that? How many of y'all remember you have permission?
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Today we are looking at you have provision. Because it's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: not enough to have permission if you don't have provision.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I give you permission to go to France. But if
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I don't give you provision and you don't have provision,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: permission gets you excited, but it doesn't get you to France.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to have some provision to with
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: your permission. But don't worry about it. God's got it covered.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: God's got it covered. God's got it covered. God's got
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: it covered. God's got it covered. God's got it covered.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: God's got it covered. God's got it covered. Whatever you
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: have permission for, God's got provision for. Permission and provision
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: will always hold hands. They hang out together. They run
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: around together. When God gives you permission, he will always
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: provide the provision. Now, this time he has provided it
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: in Gerar. So he says, go to Gerar. Don't go
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to Egypt. Stay right in Gerar because I have put
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: your provision there. They give him some raggedy soil. And
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: in spite of his raggedy soil, he has an increased harvest.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: There are some people in this room that have had
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: great harvests out of bad soil. Oh, no, wait a minute.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: There are some people in this room that don't look
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: like where they came from. I'm going to break it down.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to break it down until you get it.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: There are some people who came against all odds, by
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: all rights. You shouldn't even be where you are right now.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: If people went back and saw where you came from,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: it would absolutely blow their mind. You didn't come from
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: good soil. You didn't come from good stock. You didn't
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: come from a good neighborhood. You didn't come from a
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: collegiate environment. You didn't come from the best situation. Some
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of y'all started out with the most atrocious situations, but
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: because God was with you. Oh, let me remind you
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: how to praise the Lord. Now that you have harvested
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: in spite of where you came from, don't you get
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: here and start acting all funny like you got here
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: by yourself. When in fact, you're the first one in
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: your family to be a doctor. You're the first one
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: in your family to have a degree. You're the first
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: one in your family. To break through all the barriers
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and all the obstacles. You're the only one out of
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: your class not locked up in jail, not locked up
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: in prison. You could have lost your mind. You could
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: have had a nervous breakdown. You've been through enough stuff
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: that you ought to be in a mental institution chewing
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: on a piece of cotton. And yet God's got you
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: out here functioning and moving and going around. And you're
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: worried about a car. You ought to be shouting about
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: your mind. You ought to be shouting about your head.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You ought to be shouting about your leg. You ought
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to be shouting about your peace. You ought to be
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: shouting right where you are. God has a blessing for you.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Does God have the provision? To go with the permission?
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Does God have the provision to go with the provision?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: The question is absolutely yes. And yet there remains a question,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: are you willing to dig for it? Are you willing
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to move for it? Are you willing to sweat for it?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: You know God has it but just because God has
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's going to fall within your convenience.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: There's still going to be something required of you in
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: order to get what God has for you. Look at
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: your neighbor and say I know he's got it for me.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I may not have it right now. but I know
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: he's got it for me. I may not look like
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: it right now, but I know he's got it for me.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I may not even know where it is yet, but
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I know he's got it for me. I know he's
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: going to bless me. I know he's going to bless me.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I know he's going to, because he swore, he swore
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: he was going to bless me. He gave me an oath.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: He gave me a promise. I know he's going to
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: bless me. I don't know who I'm talking to today,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm talking to somebody in this room You got
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: a covenant with God. You got a covenant with God.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: God bless you in bad soil. You came from bad background.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: You were born on the wrong side of the tracks.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: The odds were against you from the beginning. They didn't
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: even like you in school. And look at God. Look
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: what the Lord has done. Look where God has brought
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: you from. Let's take a 30 suckers and just praise
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: him for progress. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Praising for progress.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Praising for progress. Praising for progress. Praising for progress. Praising
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: for breaking the rules. Praising for turning it around. Praising
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: for opening up doors. Praising for making ways out of nowhere.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I can't hear y'all. Somebody type it on the line.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Somebody write it in the chat. Somebody speak a word.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I came from bad soil. I came from a disruptive family.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I came out of a dysfunctional house and still I rise.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: And still I rise. And still I rise. And still
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I rise. See, you spend so much time talking about
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: what you don't have. You need to stop and start
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: praising for what you do have. I'm going to give
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you 30 suckers to let hell know what you got. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: You don't know what you just did. When you acknowledge
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: him in all your ways, he will direct your path.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: He will order your steps. He will nudge you and
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: tell you what to do. He will tell you when
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: to move. He will tell you when to be still.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: If you start acknowledging God, you won't feel so lonely
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: like you're out here by yourself. He'll wake you up
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: early in the morning and whisper in your ear and say,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: don't go to Egypt. Stay right here in Gerard. I
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: got a blessing for you. Pack your bags. It's time
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: to move. God will give you clear instructions. David said,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: lead me in a plain path because of my enemies.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I got so many haters. I need a plain path.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Anybody need a plain path in here? Well, then praise
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: him for a plain path. Sit down. Let's go deeper.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: My God, I feel something in this place. My God,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I feel something in this place. My God, I feel
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: something in this place. My God, I feel something in
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: this place. It feels like somebody has just been thinking
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: back over where they came from and the strides they made.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: and the journey they've been on, and how they had
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: to move and switch and go here and go there,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and yet God blessed them to be where they are.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: It sounds like somebody in this room has got a
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: real deep hallelujah down on the inside. Whatever praise you've
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: got in your belly, whatever you're feeling in your spirit,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: whatever's going on inside of you, open your mouth and
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: let it out. Let's digress a minute. We're going to
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: digress a minute and I want to set some things
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: in order. set the text in context to help you
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: to extrapolate from the text the particularities that I want
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: you to understand so that you will be equipped to
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: see your life from a panoramic perspective rather than to
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: focus on your immediate situation when we understand that Abraham
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Isaac and Jacob are primary characters of the Pentateuch the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Pentateuch is the first five books in the Christian Bible
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: And it is often all that the prophets had to
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: work with. It comprises the creation story. Noah's flood it
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: talks about the early days of Abraham and how God
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: began to deal with Abraham Isaac and Jacob throughout the
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: old testament God refers to himself as the God of
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Abraham Isaac and Jacob but don't be deceived by that
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that he wasn't everybody else's God But
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: it does mean that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are the
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: beginning of a new strand and a new order. And
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: they are the foundational patriarchs of which the Old Testament
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: would be built upon. Some of you are at a
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: foundational level. You're setting new trends. You're setting new standards.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: You're setting new directions. You're not going in the way
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: of your forefathers. You started to blaze a new trail.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: You have broken the yoke of yesterday. You are moving
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: into a new future. You yourself are a paradigm shift.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: You're a change in the family narrative. You're a change
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: in the community narrative. You're a change in the story.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Look at your neighbor and say it starts with you.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: God uses Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not because he is
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: not the God of everybody else, but it is through Abraham, Isaac,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: and Jacob that God ultimately will transform the thinking of
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: the world who is primarily filled with polygamous, idolatry, and debauchery.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: He will keep a holy line of people that ultimately
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: will scatter all over the world But he uses Abraham, Isaac,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: and Jacob. He uses Abraham, first of all, to produce
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: a seed. But lest we start to make a God
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: of Abraham, God waits till Abraham's body is dead. And
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: when Abraham's body was dead, and he could no longer
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: produce a seed, God gives him a seed. that hits
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: the dead womb of Sarah and quickens it and brings
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: it back to life. Now, as long as I call
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: it a seed, you don't get it. But 42 generations later,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: when a virgin named Mary brought forth a son, he said,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I am the seed of Abraham now I'm talking about
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus Jesus says I am the seed of Abraham in
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: other words I am what gave Abraham's loins life I
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: know it was Jesus because Jesus also says I am
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the resurrection And Sarah's womb was dead. But when Jesus
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: hit Sarah's womb, he quickened it and brought it back
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to life. And in spite of her sagging breasts and
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: wrinkled knees, she was with child. And everybody was trying
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: to figure out, how did this old woman get a baby?
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: It's because when Jesus gets in your womb, he will
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: bring life where there was no life at all. I
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: don't know. who I'm talking to today but God is
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: getting ready to quicken some dead stuff some dead homes
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: some dead churches some dead marriages some dead businesses because
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: he is the resurrection he is the resurrection and the
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: life he that believeth on me though he were dead
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: yet shall he live Abraham produces a seed Isaac passes
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: the seed. And he passes the seed and the blessing
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: of the birthright to Jacob. Jacob is poor in character,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: but evolves the seed through three women to 12 sons.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: The 12 sons become the 12 tribes of Israel. Are
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: you hearing what I'm saying? So God cannot afford to
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: let Isaac go down because Isaac has to pass the seed.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: He has to pass what he is so that the
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: lineage can continue. Sometimes God doesn't bless you for you.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: He's blessing you because of what's going to come through you. Oh,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: y'all don't hear what I'm saying. Does anybody hear what
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? It's not about you. It's not about your convenience.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: In fact, he will put you in an inconvenient situation
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: and expose you to a famine to shift you to
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the right place at the right time so that you
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: can conceive and do what God wants you to do
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: when he wants you to do it. Abraham was blessed.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: If Abraham is blessed and Isaac is his seed, Isaac
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: also has to be blessed. Today I want to focus
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: on Isaac because Isaac is generally not really talked about
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: a whole lot. He's not really talked about a whole lot.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: But Isaac as a grown man is standing in the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: middle of a famine flourishing. Isaac's name means laughter. And
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: the Lord told me to tell you he's going to
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: make you laugh. I don't think you heard me. He's
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: going to make you laugh. He's not just going to
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: make your mama laugh. He made Sarah laugh. He's going
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: to make you laugh. He's going to make you laugh.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: He's going to make you laugh because God's going to
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: take the little you sow and he's going to give
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: you such increase out of it that people aren't even
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: going to understand how you got the blessing that you got.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: God said he's going to make you laugh. Ain't no
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: laugh like the laugh you have when you're by yourself.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: And nobody else is around. And you think of something
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: that burst out. Is there anybody in here that's been
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: in the house by yourself and just burst out and
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: started laughing? The other day, I thought about something and
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I just started laughing. I thought if anybody comes in here,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: they're going to think I'm crazy. Wasn't nothing on TV.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Wasn't nothing on the radio. But when I thought of
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the goodness of Jesus. And all that he done for me,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't shout, I didn't dance, I just started laughing.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I want every grateful person in this room to just
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: take a moment and just start thanking God. Isaac is laughter.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: The miracle baby of Abraham and Sarai, of Abram and Sarai.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: He is absolute laughter. He is joy complete. He is accomplishment.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: And yet, he is complicated. I say he's complicated for
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: this reason. There's no question that Isaac is a good man.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: He has already proven that while his father was living.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: In the fact that he was grown when Abraham walked
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: him up to the altar. He was not a little
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: bitty boy. He was not a little bitty boy because
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: little bitty boys couldn't carry the wood. He is old
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: enough to resist the will of his father. But has
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: become obedient to the will of his father. Because Isaac
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: is a type of Christ. And Isaac has become obedient
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: even if it means death. So Isaac lays down on
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the altar. Like Jesus laid down on the cross and
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: became obedient unto death, knowing that his father had raised
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: his hand to smite him with the knife. Isaiah says
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus was smitten of God. Do you hear what I'm
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: saying to you? Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Isaac is that obedient Josephus the historian says that somebody
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: asked Isaac why did he become so obedient he said
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: it would have been better that I not be born
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: than for me to be born and not do the
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: will of my father so there's no question that Isaac
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: is a good man But the complication is he is
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: also a selfish, narcissistic liar. Oh, I lost you. I
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: lost you because you think there are good people and
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: there are bad people. And as long as you can
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: categorize people, you feel comfortable. But the problem is you
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: can be a good man And still do bad things.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: You can be a good man and still be flawed.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Let all the married people say amen. You scared to
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: say amen because he's sitting there. You can be good
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: over here. and be bad over there and Isaac is
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: complicated because in spite of the fact that he is
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: totally devoted to his father and submitted himself even unto
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: death when it comes down to being in Gerar he
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: lies about his wife to keep himself from being killed
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: he told Abimelech the reason I lied is that had
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I told you she was my wife you might kill
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: me to get her Which also means she was fine.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: You know a woman is fine when you scared to admit.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: I don't mean cute. I don't mean nice looking. Isaac
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: said he will kill me for her. Bear in mind
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: he is Philistinian. They have a different code of ethics.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: He's the king. The king gets what he wants. Isaac says,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: she's my sister. The weird thing is, people say that
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: he did exactly what his father did. But Isaac's lie
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: is an unmitigated lie. When Abram said that Sarai was
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: his sister, he wasn't really lying. Because she was his
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: sister and his wife. Half sister. So it was a
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: half lie. Isaac's was a whole lie. Rebecca was at
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: best his cousin. He completely lied. That's fine. But it's
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: a lie. He endangered the woman he should have protected.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: He put her in a position to be raped and
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: to be taken. He insulted God with his lie because
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: God had promised to be with him in Gerar. And
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: God had promised him that his seed would be blessed.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: So if you believed God, why should you lie? Like
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: most lies, his deception was rooted in terror and fear.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: And fear has torment. Most people lie because they are scared. Oh,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I hit somebody. At least 10 people went completely quiet.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: And their eyes are shifting like he talking about me.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: whatever you are scared about you will lie about so
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: the next time somebody lies to you ask them what
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: are you scared of it's probably you it's probably you
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: So you ought to see the way the men looking
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: at me like, shut up. Women lie too. Women lie
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: better than us. Oh, y'all ain't, come on, sister. Don't,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: come on. Come on, sister. Be real. Come on, be real.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: In the midst of this complicated person, there are things
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: that I admire about Isaac. He has tenacity. He has tenacity.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to show you in a minute. He has
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: an even keeled temperament. And he even has a favor
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: that cannot be ignored, even though he has flaws. You
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: want to put people in boxes because boxes make you comfortable.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: He's nice. She's nasty. She's hateful. She's my sister friend.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: That's why you keep getting hurt. Because you expect people
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: to stay in your box. In reality, everybody in here
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: is complicated. I ain't scared of none of y'all, I
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: don't withstand every one of you. I'm 65 years old,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: I ain't scared of nobody. Nobody. You complicated. You complicated.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: You wasn't complicated when you was dating, but now you married.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: You know you complicated. Your wife know you complicated. Your
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: husband know you complicated. You look all good on the outside,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: but everybody in here is complicated. Now, if you can
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: love your complicated self, How come you can't love my
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: complicated self? But you want to put me over in
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: a box and now you're hurt because I didn't live
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: up to being something that you wasn't. Oh, y'all are
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: going to have to cut this off the tape because
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: they can't handle this. If my church can't handle it,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I know the world can't handle it. I hope there's
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: somebody screaming that's saying amen to what I'm saying. The
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: truth of the matter, even good people have flaws. God
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: leaps over top of his flaws and blesses him anyway,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: right after the lie. Abimelech Sends out a decree, don't
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: nobody touch that woman. And it drove me. I said,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: why is Abimelech so honorable all of a sudden? And
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: I started trying to study his religious to understand why
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: he is so honorable. And then as I began to
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: study and look back, I know why he's so honorable
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: because Abimelech has been through this before. He's gone through
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: this with Abraham. And God has told Abimelech, don't you
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: touch her. that woman and Abimelech is afraid of God.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Do you not know God will stop your enemy's plot?
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: You don't hear what I'm saying to you. If everybody
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: in this room who had been plotted against and God
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: stopped the plot would make some noise, they'd believe me.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Let somebody say, God stopped it. I wouldn't be here today,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: but God stopped it. I would have been destroyed, but
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: God stopped it. I never would have made it, but
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: God stopped it. I would have been assassinated, but God
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: stopped it. Do you know how many death threats I get?
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: But God stopped it. I keep preaching. in the middle
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: of everything because I trust God to stop it. If
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: God don't stop it, it can't be stopped. I'm not
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: going to hide from nobody. God is God and he's
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: still in control. He'll stop the gun from going off.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I wish I had a witness in here. Somebody, he
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: stopped you from getting killed in the car wreck. He
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: stopped cancer growing in your body. He stopped you from
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: blowing your brains out. God stopped it. Even when I
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: tried to hurt myself, God stopped Hey, hey, I need
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: a minute to praise him in a good old Pentecostal
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost sanctified shout because I'm not even praising about
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: my car, my house, my shoes, my clothes. I'm just
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: praising him because he stopped it. Can I have a
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: 60 second praise for the things that God stopped up?
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Somebody ought to give him a praise, a praise, a praise,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: a praise. praise. A praise. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. You stopped it. I owe you the praise.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I owe you the praise. I owe you the praise.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: I owe you the praise. Touch three people and tell
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: them God stopped it. God stopped it. When you get
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: to the third one, praise him like you lost your mind.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Praise him like you should have been dead. Praise him
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: like you should have lost your mind. Praise him like
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: you should have thrown in the towel. Come on, you
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: got 30 seconds left to praise him for what he stopped.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: He stopped cancer. He stopped plagues. He stopped HIV. He
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: stopped AIDS. God! The only reason you got to be
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: 50 is because God stopped it. The only reason you
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: made it to 40 is because God stopped it. The
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: only reason you made it to 55 is because God
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: stopped it. The only reason you made it to 60
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: is because God stopped it. I wish I had some
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: real people. I wish I had some real people. It
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: was not your goodness. It was not your righteousness. It
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: was in spite of your mistakes. But God stopped it.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: And that's why you owe him the praise. Because had
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: God dealt with you according to your sins, you would
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: have been destroyed. To God be the glory for the
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: things he's done. To God be the glory. To God
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: be the glory. If you've been forgiven for much, you
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: ought to praise him much. If God has forgiven you
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: for much, you ought to praise him like this.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: My God, my God, my God, my God.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: My God, my God, my God. My God, my God,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: my God. My God, my God, my God. My God,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: my God, my God. My God, my God, my God.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: My God, my God.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: My God.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Watch this, watch this, I'm almost done. The Bible said
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: the same Philistines that gave him land got envious over
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: how God blessed him. Because you have to understand that
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Isaac sowed a seed and received a hundredfold. Any farmer
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: will tell you that every seed you plant Doesn't normally grow.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: But God gave him, if he sowed a hundred seeds,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: he got a hundredfold harvest. Ain't no way in the
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: world Jesus will let it tell us that some yield 30,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: some yield 60, and others yield a hundredfold. What I'm
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: trying to tell you is that God is going to
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: give you an unprecedented harvest On the highest level. It
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: won't be 30. It won't be 60. But somebody that's
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: listening at me. God is up to something. You're about
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: to step into a hundredfold blessing. And that's why you
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: got to give him a hundredfold praise. Everything you plant,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: everything you touch, everywhere your feet trod, everything you go after,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: God said, I'm going to give you a hundredfold return.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Somebody shout if it's you. Shout if it's you. If
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: it ain't you, sit on down with your cute dress on.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: But if you believe it's you, open your mouth and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: holler at your boy. Gerald, the Bible says that the
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Philistines envied him. The same people who gave him the
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: land to prosper him, envied him because he prospered. The
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: thing is, it doesn't tell you envy never announces itself.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you people can start out glad
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: for you. They don't hear me, Dr. Anita. And end
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: up envious of you and never announce when the change came.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: The Bible says about Judas, Judas was a disciple handpicked
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: by God. But Satan entered into Judas. It doesn't say when.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: He didn't announce it. He didn't say, excuse me, Jesus.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Satan has entered into me. So stop expecting your friends
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: to announce that they have become your haters. You got
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: to keep your eyes open because God's getting ready to
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: give you a hundredfold. And everybody who started out with
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: you ain't going to be... ain't going to be able
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: to go with you so keep your eyes open because
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: they're going to switch they're going to switch without announcement
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: they're going to switch and still be grinning at you
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: they're going to switch and still come to your birthday
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: party they're going to switch and still bake you a
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: cake and they put him out of Jerome And he
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: went out of Gerard and he started digging out his
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: father's wells. This is a moment for you to get
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: your shovel out. Because you're going to have to dig
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: for the kind of blessing you got has got to
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: have water. And you're going to have to dig for it.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: And he dug out, I don't think undug is a word,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: he dug out his father's wells. Now, when you dig
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: where somebody has dug before, you still got to dig,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: but it ain't as hard. Because the soil is loose
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be as hard as it was
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: for your father but you still got some digging to
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: do nudge your neighbor say I got some digging to
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: do so don't be calling me all the time because
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: I got some digging to do and don't be bothering
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: me with petty stuff Because I got some digging to do.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: And nobody bring me no bad news. Because I got
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: some digging to do. And I ain't got time for
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: he say, she say, I heard, I thought. Because I
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: got some digging to do. Is there anybody in here
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: old enough now that you don't have time for the
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: foolishness you had 10 years ago? Because you got some
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: digging to do. Nudge your other neighbor and say, I
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: got some digging to do. If you ain't going to
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: help me dig, get out of my way. If you
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: ain't got no shovel, move on away from here. Because
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: I'm at the digging stage in my life. If I
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: don't dig it now, I'll never get it done. If
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: I don't dig it now, I'm going to miss my time.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: If I don't dig it now, It'll never happen for me.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: And he dug it out. You got to dig it out.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: I know you dreamed about it, but you got to
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: dig it out. I know God promised it to you,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: but you got to dig it out. I know you
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: got faith for it, but you got to dig it out.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: Because faith without... is dead being alone look at your
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: neighbor and say get your shovel this week get your
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: shovel get your shovel and dig it out the dirt
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: is soil the ground is tender but dig it out
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: you're too close to your blessing not to dig it
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: the rest of the way out donna dig it out
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Dig it out. Pastor Simon, dig it out. Just faith,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: dig it out. Dig it out. Put your shovel on it.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: You're too close to the breakthrough. Dig it on out.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: You're too close to what God promised you. Dig it
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: on out. Dig it out. Quick ending. Two times he
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: dug it out and they took it back. And he
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: let them have it. He let them have it. His
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: temperament was of such that he let them have it
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: and named the place Strife because he was moving away
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: from strife. I have moved away from drama. I don't
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: have Time for drama. When he got to the third well,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: young man, he got to the third well. When he
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: dug it out, he dug it all the way out.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: He hid water. He called it Rehoboth because God had
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: brought him into a large place. And whoever I'm preaching to,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: God told me to tell you, Don't be hurt over
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: who changed, who switched, who got jealous, who got envious,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: who changed their mind. Keep on digging. If you don't
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: get it in the first well, dig the second one.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: If you don't get it in the second one, dig
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: out the third one. The third well, the waters broke loose.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: And the pain stopped and the door opened and God
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: had put him in a place of increase and God
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: had opened up Rehoboth. Whatever this is about, whoever this
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: is for, it is so big. It is Rehoboth. Who's
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: after something big? Wave at me. What you after is
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: so big? That your old friends can't handle it. You
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: trying to find fellowship with people who used to be
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: with you. But now they're envious of you. And I'll
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: tell you something else. They put you out of the circle.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: Because you already blessed. You already got sheep. You already
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: got cattle. You already got a blessing. And they're tired
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: of you coming in and talking about, look what the
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Lord has done. Now they act funny when you come around.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Now they don't invite you to stuff they used to
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: invite you to. Because success creates loneliness. Who am I
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: talking to? The place, the place is Rehoboth. You got
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: a hundredfold return. You gonna be put in a large
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: place to accommodate what God has done. You gonna need
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of water and you don't have time for
• 1:14:32

• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: up both hands. Prepare your spirit. Prepare your spirit. Get
• 1:14:52

• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: it was selfish, it was narcissistic, but it was also over.
