Father's Day | Ps Graeme Politanski · Citipointe Church Caboolture

0:02
Hey, welcome to the City Point Church podcast.
0:04
Thanks for joining us. Every day is an opportunity to
0:07
take hold of. So we hope this message inspires
0:10
you and build your faith that it helps you have more of a God
0:13
perspective for your day. Enjoy.
0:17
Is there faith in your bones this morning?
0:20
Could you declare out loud today?
0:22
My heart is open, my ears are alert to grow and change and
0:31
never be the same. Amen.
0:36
Amen. Once you be seated and today's
0:41
message, you know it's Father's Day and I love the honor to be
0:45
able to speak into the the lives of the fathers of the house.
0:49
And I'm pretty experienced in this realm.
0:52
So it is worth listening and, and, and, but today's message
0:59
isn't just for fathers. Like everyone's going to get
1:02
something from it. I've got, I've got 3 points and,
1:05
and three tips today for everyone and for you to take
1:10
home and have conversations in the cafe after the service.
1:15
But mums of the house, women, man of the house, youth, young
1:19
adults in the house, kids in the house, you've got something to
1:24
listen and lean into today. And before we get around our key
1:30
scripture with which is in the book of Deuteronomy and the last
1:35
book of the Torah and the 5th book of the Bible, Deuteronomy
1:41
6, if you want to open your Bible to chapter 6 of that, I
1:45
just want to give you some context.
1:47
Now in your Holy Scriptures, the book of Deuteronomy was written
1:51
when Israel was on the opposite side of the Jordan to the
1:55
promised Land. So Israel's on this side of the
1:59
Jordan. They've won a few battles and
2:02
they're about to crossover into the promised land that they've
2:07
been walking towards for 40 years.
2:11
And I don't know if you've ever had promises in your life from
2:14
God or you've read the scriptures and it's like the
2:18
scriptures have spoken to you about your, your future, you,
2:21
your, your destiny, your life, your purpose.
2:24
And it feels like you've been going around the desert for 40
2:28
years. Let me tell you, the purpose of
2:31
that is, is your learning, It's your, it's your sacrificing,
2:36
it's your surrender. And because God had, when God
2:40
has something greater for your life than where you are now, the
2:45
same, you can't go into the greater realm.
2:49
And so God needs to prepare us and mold us and shape us.
2:53
And this is done through surrender.
2:56
And so the more Israel was able to surrender of themselves,
3:00
their desires, their their wishes and wants and of the
3:04
things of the past, OK, the the more they were able to do that,
3:09
the closer they got to their promised land.
3:12
Now here we are on the opposite side, just opposite Jericho.
3:16
Do we all remember the story about Jericho?
3:19
They marched around the walls and the walls foot fell down.
3:23
Well, that was the first city that Israel talked when they
3:27
entered the promised land. So here we are before they do
3:31
this. And Moses delivered his feet,
3:34
farewell speeches. He delivered and reiterated
3:39
God's law to the new generation of Israel.
3:44
And this is where we pick up today's text in general
3:47
generosity. There's a good message, Matt.
3:49
Wasn't that incredible, man, I was inspired.
3:52
I nearly went home. Hey, I thought today's over.
3:55
This is awesome. Matt nailed it.
3:58
Fantastic. Matt, you got a real gift on
4:00
your life. You know that.
4:01
And you're called and anointed. You're a storyteller, and I know
4:06
someone out who was a storyteller and he went a long
4:08
way and Jesus heads up and you're following in these
4:15
footsteps. Well done, good man, good young
4:18
man. And I'm Deuteronomy 6 versus one
4:21
to seven. It says this now this is the
4:25
commandment, and these are the statues and judgments which the
4:30
Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe
4:34
them in the land which you are crossing over to possess.
4:38
That you may fear the Lord your God to keep all His statues and
4:43
his commandments which I commanded you, you and your
4:47
grandson, and your son and your grandson, all the days of your
4:53
life, and that their days may be prolonged.
4:57
Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it
5:03
may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the
5:08
Lord God of your Father's has promised you a land flowing with
5:13
milk and honey. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our
5:16
God, the Lord is 1. You shall love the Lord your God
5:21
with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your
5:24
strength. Let me say that again.
5:25
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all
5:31
your soul, and with all your strength.
5:34
Now listen to the verse 6. And these words which I
5:37
commanded you today shall be in your heart.
5:42
You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk
5:46
of them when you sit in your house.
5:50
You shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk
5:55
by the way, and when you lie down.
5:58
And when you rise up, listen, you shall talk of these things
6:05
when you do the action of sitting down in your house, when
6:09
you walk by your way in your daily life, when you lay down at
6:13
night, and when you raise up in the morning.
6:19
There's keys for us here today. As Moses is preparing Israel to
6:24
enter the Promised Land, his greatest concerned is not the
6:29
lands. His greatest concern for you is
6:35
not even the promise that He has for you.
6:40
His greatest concern for your life is not how well you perform
6:46
and fulfill the promise that He has for your life.
6:51
His greatest concern is not the land, but the next generation's
6:56
faithfulness. His greatest concern was the
6:59
children, fathers, mothers in the house.
7:03
Today, God's greatest concern is what you leave to the next
7:10
generation, to your children and the generation in the world
7:15
around us. He reminds fathers and families
7:19
that God's Word must not be heard only but be lived and be
7:25
passed down. This is the heartbeat of
7:29
Christian parenting and fatherhood.
7:33
Is that your your faith not be just heard but be implemented
7:40
into your children's life. I think this, sometimes we are
7:45
just too concerned with the greater mission and not
7:51
concerned enough with the immediate mission.
7:56
It's one thing for me to stand up here and charge the whole
8:01
church to the mission of the community.
8:03
If I'm neglecting my own children #1 mission is my
8:08
children. I love you, Church, but my
8:10
children are #1 they're me. And God has placed into my
8:16
direct care my children. Here's the thing about my
8:20
children. They were there since the day
8:22
they were born in my life. And they will be there in my
8:26
life, in my memory, in my heart, in my action, in my motive, till
8:30
the day I go to heaven. And then when I'm in heaven,
8:33
I'll be judged upon the legacy that I left into the life and
8:38
heart of my children. So in your life, whether you're
8:43
a spiritual parent here today, just just a member of the
8:47
church, someone new today, a father or a mother or even a
8:51
child, we need to understand that our legacy has an immense
8:56
importance from God and the commissioning from God.
9:00
So .1 this morning is God's word must first live in the hearts.
9:10
God's word must first live in our hearts.
9:14
Verse six said these words shall be in your heart.
9:19
Listen, faith is caught before it's taught.
9:23
I've had to learn this. I've I've experimented with this
9:28
and I I thought that I could teach just by telling people.
9:32
And I've learned that my life matters more than what I say.
9:36
Listen, my behaviours matter more than what I say and what I
9:41
say reinforces the truth of my behaviour.
9:48
Now what you say can RIP a person down, but what you do
9:51
will lift the person back up. I've learned this.
9:54
I can RIP a person down with my words, but I don't.
9:58
I can't build them up just the same with my words.
10:03
I build people up by getting under them and lifting them
10:07
physically by them seeing my number one concern by the fruits
10:12
of my life, the actions of my life and my behaviour.
10:17
My kids learn more from me by what they see of their dad than
10:23
what dad tells them to do. You know the old saying, we have
10:26
this joke in our house. I think we're joking.
10:29
We're joking. I'm we're pretty sure.
10:31
I'm pretty sure it's a joke. It's a joke to me.
10:33
It's no, it's a it's a joke. It's a joke in our house, right.
10:39
But we, we often, we often say, do what we say, not what we do,
10:44
but it's completely it's a joke. It's a judge me drink of water.
10:52
You guys are harsh. The reality is as we say that
10:59
because we know the truth is, is do what we do and let what we
11:03
say reinforce that and bring strength to that.
11:06
Does this make sense? And so, so faith is taught,
11:13
caught before it's taught. Children follow what they see
11:16
lived out, not only what they hear.
11:20
They follow what they see the behaviour of our life, not just
11:23
what we say. Why would you follow someone
11:26
that says something that doesn't do it, that that discounts what
11:30
they say because they're saying something, but there's no real
11:33
value in that because they wouldn't do it in the first
11:35
place. Does that make sense?
11:37
And so people see the value in what you do.
11:40
And then when you say it, it has strength to it and truth wrapped
11:45
up in it. Psalms 119 Eleven says your
11:48
word. I have hidden in my heart.
11:52
And so sometimes we see that and we go, yeah, it's the word of
11:56
God. No, no, no.
11:57
It's what you do with the words, it's what you do with what mum
12:03
and dad are saying or parents. It's what you you train your
12:06
children to do with their action of what they do with what you
12:11
say. It's hidden in my heart.
12:13
Proverbs 423 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of
12:18
out of it springs the issue of life.
12:22
It's just interesting that what is in our heart, what we
12:26
actually apply into our lives, out of that will spring out the
12:31
issues of life. So we are to hide His word in
12:36
our heart and keep putting it in us.
12:38
So Father's Day tip #1 for the fathers, before you can pass on
12:45
faith, you must know God personally.
12:50
Your daily walk with Jesus will leave your a greater impact than
12:55
your words will leave. Father's Day.
12:59
Tim point #2 Fathers are called to impress God's word on their
13:05
children. This is our #1 mission and call
13:10
from God. In verse seven, the first part
13:12
of verse 7, it said you shall teach them diligently to your
13:19
children. The word teach means to sharpen,
13:23
engrave and shape. In other words, we shape our
13:28
children with the word of God. Does this make sense?
13:32
There's more than preaching at there's a shaping behavioural
13:36
thing that we do with our children.
13:39
Passing faith is not automatic. It takes takes intention,
13:46
consistency, and repetition. It takes intention, consistency,
13:53
and repetition. It takes intention on being
13:57
intentional right now, consistency on being consistent
14:01
right now, and repetition. I'm repeating myself is because
14:05
I I want it's not automatic that you're going to hear what I'm
14:10
saying, but through intention, consistency and repetition, you
14:15
will remember those three points.
14:17
Does that make sense? So This is why we want to have
14:20
intention and consistency and repetition in what we do in our
14:25
life. Proverbs 22 six says train up a
14:28
child in the way he should go. Keywords Frame.
14:33
Is there any? Is there any athletes in the
14:35
house? My hands down.
14:40
There's no athletes in this house.
14:42
Man, we got to work. We got one down the front.
14:44
Can we put our hands together for Robin this morning?
14:47
Leading the way. Yeah, I've learned this.
14:52
I tried to run 5 KS with my amazing wife.
14:56
He just runs it and she's running, she's talking, she's
14:59
probably planning on her phone and and I unfortunately for for
15:06
me, I, I just one K and I'm pretty wrecked.
15:09
I can walk 5 KS. I've learned and and it takes it
15:15
takes a lot of training, right? And so we are prepared to train
15:20
when it comes to doing the park run every Saturday, you know,
15:23
we're prepared to train how to understand the world of
15:27
computers, mostly because we want to shop and get cheap
15:32
prices online. And, and so we train for things
15:37
in our life. When you get a job, you've got
15:39
to train for that. But the reality is, is if you
15:42
want your children to walk in the ways of God, we've got to
15:45
train our children. We'll train ourselves, but we
15:49
will train our children. And, and that might sound
15:52
simple, but I, I can see that I live in a world where children
15:57
train children and the parents are absent or working on
16:02
training themselves. But let me tell you, because of
16:07
your age, you have something to teach.
16:10
Because of your life experiences, you have something
16:13
to teach and so teaching or, or is it requires more than just a
16:18
saying something? We've gotta train our children
16:23
and fathers. I know you do an amazing job in
16:26
this, but I reckon we can lift the ante in this church and we
16:29
can just go. You know what, I'm not, I'm not
16:31
going to pre chat my children so much.
16:34
I'm not going to just tell them things so much.
16:36
I'm going to be the example of this so that I can train them in
16:41
the ways of the Lord and in faith.
16:44
Amen Mothers, you can do the same.
16:45
It will be good for all of us to do it.
16:47
Unity in the house is a good thing.
16:49
And so Ephesians 64 says, fathers, do not provoke your
16:54
children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and
17:00
Admiral, the big word there is, is it on the screens.
17:03
There we go. You just read it.
17:04
You read it yourself of the Lord.
17:07
Proverbs 27 the righteous man walks in integrity.
17:11
His children are blessed after them.
17:14
It doesn't said say the righteous man talks with
17:17
integrity. He said you can tell the
17:21
righteous man because of the way he walks.
17:25
He walks with integrity. And then what happens?
17:29
Well, then the children are blessed.
17:32
And if you're looking at your family dynamic or just being
17:35
roaring and honesty, if you're looking at your family dynamic
17:39
and wondering where the blessing, the real question is,
17:41
is where is the example of integrity and fathers in the
17:47
house today? I know that every single father
17:50
in this house and mother in this house has it deep inside of you.
17:55
You can rise up to this new way of walking with integrity so
18:00
that your children will walk in your blessing.
18:04
Amen. It's one thing to pray the
18:06
blessing of God over your children, but God says, but I
18:11
have blessed you through salvation in Jesus Christ that
18:15
you now walk a different way. You walk by faith now and not by
18:20
sight. You don't walk by what you see,
18:24
but you're walking is exampling who he is and the
18:27
transformational work. And when you know what I love
18:31
the one of the greatest, I just cut myself off.
18:35
It's weird when you do that right?
18:37
But I, I just love seeing people when their lives are, are
18:42
drastically transformed by the love of God.
18:46
Like we just get this example so much in our in our church.
18:50
Their lives get transformed and then they live so radically
18:55
different, but they're so far from what we might call perfect
19:00
or or they're so far from even the Christian living and life
19:04
experiences that I have yet in an instant, because of their
19:09
dramatic transformation, they example that they they shout it,
19:15
but their life just they dress different.
19:18
They change things at home. They throw things out and they
19:21
tell us about it, but they don't just tell us we get to see it.
19:27
Have you has anyone in this church seen people like this
19:29
walking around the church right. And we it's just so beautiful
19:34
for us to watch. You know, for me, being a
19:37
lifelong Christian, I watch that and it stirs my faith to ways
19:43
that Chris can't stir because Chris has been a Christian for a
19:46
long time. And when I see these guys come
19:49
in it, it's a new stirring of my faith of come on grain.
19:54
Where is your example of trance with God has done so many things
19:58
in your life for you to testify. But to show the world around
20:03
this is this is where Miracle Services came out of.
20:07
It's like my way to show the world.
20:09
I'm like, well, you've given me a church.
20:11
God, let's use this ship and, and, and, and just make a way
20:15
for the world around to see the transformation that God has done
20:20
in our lives because we want to share in their lives.
20:23
Amen. Father's Day tip #2 Father's
20:29
teach your children through regular conversations, prayer,
20:33
reading of scripture together. Teaching is not only with words,
20:38
but with constant example. Point #3 This morning faith is
20:44
lived out in everyday life. Your faith is not a Sunday
20:49
thing. Your faith is not a it's
20:52
definitely not a secret thing. Your faith is not just a
20:56
personal thing. Your faith is to ooze out of who
21:01
you are, the love of Jesus Christ and everything He has
21:06
done in your life. Verse 7, the second-half of that
21:10
verse says talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk
21:16
by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up.
21:20
You know, I was praying about this message this morning and I
21:24
believe God highlighted this to me.
21:27
And he said that people focus on the talk of them, the talk of
21:34
them, but the talk of them is not the full stop point.
21:39
The talk of them is not how we do it.
21:43
The the talk of them is literally words.
21:49
It's the talk of them when you do the action.
21:53
Sit in your house when Dad is home.
21:58
I talk to my kids when you walk, by the way, when I walk to work
22:08
through my workplace, wherever I go, I'm, I'm talking, I'm
22:12
testifying, I'm declaring what God has been doing.
22:17
You know, let me just throw out a challenge because I know that
22:20
this can be really difficult for some.
22:22
But I really believe that you have what it takes within you to
22:26
just let this come out. And as you do the first and the
22:31
second, the third time, you're actually going to find fun in
22:33
this. But when you're at work, why
22:37
don't you tell people about what happened at church on Sunday?
22:42
When when people say how was your week, don't focus on
22:46
Wednesday, focus on Sunday because Sunday set up your
22:51
Monday to Saturday right it. This is what church is the the
22:56
Saints come together, we rejoice, we testify together and
23:00
there's the edification of the Saints.
23:02
This is scripturally what what we get together for.
23:06
And so on Sunday we are edified as the Saints of God in the
23:11
mission and the purpose that God and the call and the the worship
23:16
and our our connection with God. Let that be what how was your
23:20
week this week? Oh man, it started on Sunday.
23:23
Can I just tell you what happened at church?
23:26
Here he goes again. And then you tell them.
23:30
And let me tell you, by the end of it, they just be like, wow, I
23:33
never get this in my life. Well, you can, you know, And
23:38
then maybe on Wednesday you're not telling them about Monday.
23:41
Maybe on Wednesday you'd be leaving, leading them to the
23:44
Lord. Or maybe Wednesday's
23:47
conversation would be an invite and Friday's conversation.
23:50
But as you walk into the car to celebrate that great, great
23:54
week, well, instead of spending all your money this week, why
23:57
don't you come to church on Sunday?
24:00
You know what I mean? It's so we can reshape our world
24:04
so that there's not empty word, but there's words with action
24:08
and behaviour into into wine together.
24:11
Does this make sense? So people follow a transformed
24:15
Christian. They don't follow Christians who
24:17
just speak about transformation. I don't know about you, but I've
24:22
seen a lot of people that speak about the goodness of God and
24:26
the things of God. But then I'll watch their lives
24:28
and they don't tithe. I watch their lives and they
24:33
don't pray with their children. I've watched how they discipline
24:37
and I've gone. Where's the grace and the love
24:38
of God? And I've seen the example and
24:41
the example hasn't lined up with the words.
24:44
I don't like to follow words. I like to follow people.
24:48
And this church is a church full of leaders, right?
24:52
Could you just lift your hand up right now in the air?
24:54
Just everyone lift your hand up. Lift your hand up.
24:58
Yeah. Just everyone.
24:59
Just just the whole lot. Let's just be crazy for a
25:01
moment. Lift our hand to judge.
25:03
That's awesome. OK, leaders, put your hands
25:06
down. So passing on faith happens in
25:15
the ordinary rhythms of life. God's word is not for one day,
25:22
the Sunday, but for all of your life.
25:25
Lift your hand if God loves you on Thursdays.
25:31
Yeah, I thought so. I thought so.
25:34
This is good. This is good.
25:35
Joshua 2415. And As for me in my house, yeah,
25:41
the youth, the youth know the Scriptures.
25:44
Psalm 78, four. Does anyone, can anyone quote
25:47
that one? So could you read out loud
25:56
Second Timothy one verse 5? Oh, read it out, read it out.
26:19
You should take as long as I take when I'm ready.
26:23
Where did Timothy's faith come from?
26:28
Through his mother and his grandmother's example, That's
26:32
where Timothy's face. So Father's Day tip #3 father's
26:37
at the table. Share what God is doing on the
26:41
road. Talk about God's guidance.
26:44
At night, pray over your children, and in the morning,
26:48
begin with gratitude. Can I just give you, it's not my
26:53
notes, but it's a really good example, a conversation.
26:57
I can't even remember the conversation.
26:59
Come on, God, come on, God, give me a conversation.
27:03
I was driving in my my son's car just two weeks ago and I can't
27:10
remember the conversation. It's coming though, right?
27:13
Anyway, it's so we're driving in the car and Bobby and I were
27:17
just talking. It was just him and me in the
27:19
car and we just started talking about there we go.
27:22
It's coming, it's coming. You know, there's a lesson in
27:25
that. Hey, can I give you the lesson
27:27
or day-to-day you don't you just keep talking the story.
27:30
No lessons this morning. And so and so Bobby and I were
27:35
just chatting and Bobby, I just said, how's youth going?
27:40
And Bobby and any other music directors in the youth group?
27:42
And, and I was just saying, how is youth going?
27:45
How's your leadership going? And he said, you know, Dad, I'll
27:48
just, I'll just watch you on Sundays.
27:53
This is good dad moment right now.
27:55
And he just said, I'll watch you on Sundays and I'll watch how
27:59
you lead the dream team. And so I've just been doing that
28:04
at youth and that's how I've been leading and it's been
28:07
working. It's been good.
28:08
And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep leaning into Dad, Bobby.
28:11
He knows what he's doing. And learn, learn from my
28:16
failures because I've done all the mistakes, right?
28:19
I'm still doing some at the moment.
28:21
But as I learn, you know, if your children can follow in your
28:25
footsteps, they build upon our mistakes into a greater future.
28:30
Amen. Let me tell you, there is no
28:33
mistakes in the mistakes that you've made in your life.
28:38
Now some people in this room, they're like, whoa, Pastor Gray,
28:40
that's a massive statement. You, you don't really understand
28:43
what I've done. Let me tell you, I understand
28:46
the Redeemer and what he has done and what he does.
28:50
Your mistakes with God or without God, you still did them
28:56
all right? So they've happened.
28:57
But he turns all things together for good.
29:01
And when the Scripture says he turns all things together for
29:04
good, he doesn't mean, but that he means absolutely anything
29:09
that you would bring to him. He will turn it together for
29:13
good. Every time you've slept with
29:15
someone, he will turn that together for good.
29:18
Every time you've pulled someone down, he will turn that together
29:22
for good. He will take these things and he
29:25
will turn them around to be examples that your children will
29:30
learn from so that they do not have to fulfil what you you
29:34
fulfilled in your life. Amen.
29:39
You can tell them the right thing, but when they see God
29:43
redeem you and I form the wrong thing and see our reactions to
29:48
that, that them is the greatest examples of faith that they
29:53
could ever have in this world. And you know what I think?
29:58
I think this world talks just too much.
30:01
I'm not talking about the church.
30:03
This world talks so much and with their words of you should
30:10
do this, 5 minutes later YouTube says you should do that, 6
30:13
minutes later Facebook says you should do that.
30:16
And there's so many examples and, and untangible words and
30:25
examples and instructions out there that our generation or
30:30
this generation thinks that the words and, and what people say
30:35
holds truth. But when the church comes along
30:40
and we example the transformational power of God in
30:44
our lives, the world goes whoa. And it blows their minds because
30:51
they don't see the positives of transformation.
30:54
They only see the negatives of when people follow empty words.
30:59
Does this make sense? And so as the church in as as
31:03
you being part of the church fathers in your house today,
31:07
when you example what God has done in your life, that isn't
31:12
just a good thing. It's a mind blowing world
31:16
changing thing to this generation.
31:20
This generation has been built on words, but it's going to be
31:23
transformed through the power of God that transforms people's
31:28
lives. Amen.
31:29
Do you accept that this morning as as like a bit of a
31:32
commissioning over your life that I am more than what I say,
31:37
but I am what I do and what God has done through my life?
31:42
Let me just bring one more Scripture this morning from the
31:44
apostle John. The apostle John wrote in three,
31:48
John one to four in the amplified version.
31:52
I have no greater joy than this to hear that my spiritual
31:59
children are living after they're living their lives in
32:03
the truth. It doesn't say I have no greater
32:08
joy than this to hear what's on the mouth of my children.
32:15
It says. But to see, to hear my that my
32:20
spiritual children are living their faith.
32:25
They're not speaking about faith.
32:27
Yeah, God can do it, but they are living it.
32:30
Look what God has done. Amen.
32:34
And I think sometimes when we read the scriptures, we stop at
32:37
the hearing, we stop at the the speaking and the stop at.
32:41
But we, we need to see that that is always uplifting A behaviour.
32:46
It's always uplifting what the transformational truth of the
32:51
word of God is. So three things to remember
32:56
today. Number one, let His word live in
32:59
your heart #2 and press it on your children.
33:03
Don't just say it and press it on the stampum, right?
33:06
And #3 teach it daily in ordinary life.
33:11
Listen, your faith today shapes your children's tomorrow.
33:17
Your faith today shapes your children's tomorrow.
33:22
Amen. You receive that today when we
33:24
close our eyes here this morning.
33:28
Let me pray Father, I just want to pray a blessing, Lord God,
33:32
over all the parents and spiritual parents and foster
33:36
parents and grandparents, father and over the dads.
33:41
Father, I just want to thank you for this honour of being a
33:44
father to children that you've given, You've given me and all
33:48
of us men such a great responsibility.
33:52
It's a great responsibility. It's big, it's great.
33:56
And Father, I thank you for that.
33:58
You would see us as worthy as being the man of houses, being
34:03
husbands and being fathers. And so, Father God, I just pray
34:10
a blessing right now over all the fathers of the house, that
34:15
Father, that you would strengthen us as you
34:18
strengthened your son, that you would gift us as you've gifted
34:24
your son Jesus, That you would empower us continually as you've
34:29
empowered your son Jesus. And that you would help us walk
34:34
out the truth of who you are as we saw example in Jesus.
34:40
And Father, I just pray this blessing over all the fathers of
34:44
the house today and the strength that I know is in US.
34:49
I call it out today. Lord Godfather, people from
34:54
broken marriages. Father Godfather, I just thank
34:58
you for your your faith right now to just infuse all these men
35:02
and all the women as well. Lord God, the the brokenness is
35:07
not a brokenness between you and us.
35:10
But Father, in that you said that when we are weak, then you
35:15
are strong, You're always strong.
35:17
But we get to see it in that moment.
35:19
So Father, all the single dads in the house, I thank you for
35:24
them and I pray an immense blessing upon them.
35:27
Lord God, amazing man and women, but amazing men today, Lord God
35:33
that would rise up and say, you know what, I'm going to example
35:37
what it is to live with Jesus Christ in spite situations and I
35:42
thank you for a strength in them all gone.
35:45
And Father, I just thank you for what you've done in all of our
35:48
lives in Jesus name, you know.
