00:00:14.108 --> 00:00:15.910
Pastor matt hagee: micah 6:8 gives us instructions about
00:00:15.976 --> 00:00:18.245
Gives us instructions about what god wants from men.
00:00:18.312 --> 00:00:21.515
What god wants from men. i love the fact that the verse
00:00:21.582 --> 00:00:22.917
I love the fact that the verse begins with,
00:00:22.983 --> 00:00:23.951
Begins with, "you, o man."
00:00:24.018 --> 00:00:26.253
"you, o man." why?
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:27.555
Why? because the world that we live
00:00:27.621 --> 00:00:28.656
Because the world that we live in and the society that we're
00:00:28.722 --> 00:00:30.024
In and the society that we're in today is trying to erase
00:00:30.091 --> 00:00:32.359
In today is trying to erase facts with feelings.
00:00:32.426 --> 00:00:34.962
Facts with feelings. and what they're trying to do
00:00:35.029 --> 00:00:35.963
And what they're trying to do with these feelings is erase
00:00:36.030 --> 00:00:37.331
With these feelings is erase the fact that there's
00:00:37.398 --> 00:00:38.466
The fact that there's something in this world
00:00:38.532 --> 00:00:39.767
Something in this world that you cannot exist without,
00:00:39.834 --> 00:00:41.836
That you cannot exist without, and that's a man.
00:00:41.902 --> 00:00:43.637
And that's a man. [amen.]
00:00:43.704 --> 00:00:44.972
[amen.] and here in this verse,
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.540
And here in this verse, god affirms something that
00:00:46.607 --> 00:00:48.242
God affirms something that we read even in the earliest
00:00:48.309 --> 00:00:49.777
We read even in the earliest pages of genesis,
00:00:49.844 --> 00:00:51.045
Pages of genesis, and that is that man did not
00:00:51.112 --> 00:00:52.980
And that is that man did not evolve,
00:00:53.047 --> 00:00:53.881
Evolve, man was not put together
00:00:53.948 --> 00:00:55.182
Man was not put together by committee,
00:00:55.249 --> 00:00:56.150
By committee, man didn't get here
00:00:56.217 --> 00:00:57.118
Man didn't get here by accident;
00:00:57.184 --> 00:00:58.052
By accident; man was created.
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.221
Man was created. [amen.]
00:01:00.287 --> 00:01:01.055
[amen.] [amen.]
00:01:01.122 --> 00:01:01.755
[amen.] and as a created being,
00:01:01.822 --> 00:01:03.791
And as a created being, the creator did not give you
00:01:03.858 --> 00:01:05.826
The creator did not give you some kind of choice whenever
00:01:05.893 --> 00:01:07.795
Some kind of choice whenever it came to what you should be
00:01:07.862 --> 00:01:09.163
It came to what you should be called.
00:01:09.230 --> 00:01:09.830
Called. he created you and he called
00:01:09.897 --> 00:01:12.433
He created you and he called you a man.
00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:13.634
You a man. the bible says,
00:01:13.701 --> 00:01:14.401
The bible says, "he (god) created them male
00:01:14.468 --> 00:01:17.438
"he (god) created them male and female."
00:01:17.505 --> 00:01:18.672
And female." and he said,
00:01:18.739 --> 00:01:19.306
And he said, "be fruitful and multiply."
00:01:19.373 --> 00:01:21.242
"be fruitful and multiply." no one gets to erase that!
00:01:21.308 --> 00:01:24.512
No one gets to erase that! [amen.]
00:01:24.578 --> 00:01:25.279
[amen.] (applause)
00:01:25.346 --> 00:01:26.480
(applause) so many times,
00:01:26.547 --> 00:01:27.214
So many times, people say,
00:01:27.281 --> 00:01:27.781
People say, "my earthly father never
00:01:27.848 --> 00:01:29.216
"my earthly father never affirmed me."
00:01:29.283 --> 00:01:29.984
Affirmed me." your heavenly father
00:01:30.050 --> 00:01:31.352
Your heavenly father not only affirmed,
00:01:31.418 --> 00:01:32.486
Not only affirmed, but he empowered you.
00:01:32.553 --> 00:01:34.588
But he empowered you. [amen.]
00:01:34.655 --> 00:01:35.156
[amen.] our sick society may be trying
00:01:35.222 --> 00:01:36.757
Our sick society may be trying to attack your masculinity.
00:01:36.824 --> 00:01:38.492
To attack your masculinity. they may be coming against
00:01:38.559 --> 00:01:39.460
They may be coming against your purpose.
00:01:39.527 --> 00:01:40.227
Your purpose. they may be trying to cancel
00:01:40.294 --> 00:01:41.562
They may be trying to cancel your role.
00:01:41.629 --> 00:01:42.429
Your role. but remember this;
00:01:42.496 --> 00:01:43.397
But remember this; if god be for you,
00:01:43.464 --> 00:01:45.099
If god be for you, who can be against you?
00:01:45.166 --> 00:01:47.468
Who can be against you? (applause)
00:01:47.535 --> 00:01:48.002
(applause) [amen.]
00:01:48.068 --> 00:01:49.003
[amen.] (applause)
00:01:49.069 --> 00:01:53.107
(applause) in micah 6:8,
00:01:53.174 --> 00:01:54.475
In micah 6:8, god tells men,
00:01:54.542 --> 00:01:55.743
God tells men, this is what i expect of you.
00:01:55.809 --> 00:01:58.445
This is what i expect of you. not only should you feel
00:01:58.512 --> 00:01:59.346
Not only should you feel affirmed but you should feel
00:01:59.413 --> 00:02:00.514
Affirmed but you should feel wanted.
00:02:00.581 --> 00:02:02.783
Wanted. every man in this room today
00:02:02.850 --> 00:02:04.285
Every man in this room today needs to know you're
00:02:04.351 --> 00:02:05.052
Needs to know you're a wanted man.
00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:06.887
A wanted man. (laughter)
00:02:06.954 --> 00:02:09.390
(laughter) and it's a dangerous thing
00:02:09.456 --> 00:02:10.491
And it's a dangerous thing to be a wanted man,
00:02:10.558 --> 00:02:13.527
To be a wanted man, because good things want you
00:02:13.594 --> 00:02:14.895
Because good things want you and bad things want you too.
00:02:14.962 --> 00:02:17.865
And bad things want you too. satan wants you.
00:02:17.932 --> 00:02:19.833
Satan wants you. [that's right.]
00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:20.401
[that's right.] satan wants you to be bound by
00:02:20.467 --> 00:02:22.036
Satan wants you to be bound by bitterness in your past.
00:02:22.102 --> 00:02:23.837
Bitterness in your past. satan wants you to be afraid
00:02:23.904 --> 00:02:25.306
Satan wants you to be afraid of the world that you're
00:02:25.372 --> 00:02:26.006
Of the world that you're living in and frozen with fear
00:02:26.073 --> 00:02:28.042
Living in and frozen with fear for the future.
00:02:28.108 --> 00:02:29.143
For the future. satan wants you to be
00:02:29.210 --> 00:02:29.910
Satan wants you to be overwhelmed by temptation.
00:02:29.977 --> 00:02:31.612
Overwhelmed by temptation. satan wants you chained to
00:02:31.679 --> 00:02:33.247
Satan wants you chained to an addiction.
00:02:33.314 --> 00:02:34.014
An addiction. satan wants you to be
00:02:34.081 --> 00:02:35.082
Satan wants you to be embarrassed and filled with
00:02:35.149 --> 00:02:36.150
Embarrassed and filled with shame about your
00:02:36.217 --> 00:02:37.017
Shame about your transgressions.
00:02:37.084 --> 00:02:38.586
Transgressions. satan wants to use
00:02:38.652 --> 00:02:39.553
Satan wants to use generational bonds and curses
00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:41.889
Generational bonds and curses like lust,
00:02:41.956 --> 00:02:42.556
Like lust, and temper,
00:02:42.623 --> 00:02:43.157
And temper, and greed,
00:02:43.224 --> 00:02:43.657
And greed, and prejudice,
00:02:43.724 --> 00:02:44.258
And prejudice, and violence,
00:02:44.325 --> 00:02:45.226
And violence, and anything else that he can
00:02:45.292 --> 00:02:46.360
And anything else that he can use to keep you bond up
00:02:46.427 --> 00:02:48.229
Use to keep you bond up and hidden from the man
00:02:48.295 --> 00:02:49.630
And hidden from the man that god wants you to be.
00:02:49.697 --> 00:02:51.031
That god wants you to be. [that's right.]
00:02:51.098 --> 00:02:51.899
[that's right.] why?
00:02:51.966 --> 00:02:52.466
Why? because satan knows that
00:02:52.533 --> 00:02:53.467
Because satan knows that if he can get you, dad,
00:02:53.534 --> 00:02:54.969
If he can get you, dad, he can take out your family.
00:02:55.035 --> 00:02:56.837
He can take out your family. [that's right.]
00:02:56.904 --> 00:02:57.538
[that's right.] [amen.]
00:02:57.605 --> 00:02:58.105
[amen.] if he can get you to turn
00:02:58.172 --> 00:02:59.373
If he can get you to turn your back on your wife,
00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:00.574
Your back on your wife, he can burden your children
00:03:00.641 --> 00:03:02.009
He can burden your children with poverty,
00:03:02.076 --> 00:03:02.876
With poverty, because when you leave mom,
00:03:02.943 --> 00:03:04.511
Because when you leave mom, the family has lost
00:03:04.578 --> 00:03:05.512
The family has lost the provider.
00:03:05.579 --> 00:03:07.681
The provider. if he can get you to ignore
00:03:07.748 --> 00:03:09.116
If he can get you to ignore your son,
00:03:09.183 --> 00:03:09.917
Your son, then he'll weigh your son down
00:03:09.984 --> 00:03:11.318
Then he'll weigh your son down with the spirit of rejection.
00:03:11.385 --> 00:03:12.886
With the spirit of rejection. and your son will invest
00:03:12.953 --> 00:03:13.988
And your son will invest his life in doing anything
00:03:14.054 --> 00:03:15.389
His life in doing anything and everything for acceptance.
00:03:15.456 --> 00:03:17.224
And everything for acceptance. and the devil will laugh,
00:03:17.291 --> 00:03:18.559
And the devil will laugh, while he watches your boy
00:03:18.626 --> 00:03:19.793
While he watches your boy destroy himself,
00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:22.496
Destroy himself, because you, dad,
00:03:22.563 --> 00:03:23.264
Because you, dad, are the greatest voice of
00:03:23.330 --> 00:03:24.431
Are the greatest voice of encouragement he'll ever hear.
00:03:24.498 --> 00:03:26.834
Encouragement he'll ever hear. if he can get you to separate
00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:28.002
If he can get you to separate yourself from your daughter,
00:03:28.068 --> 00:03:29.803
Yourself from your daughter, then he'll push your child
00:03:29.870 --> 00:03:31.105
Then he'll push your child into the arms of anyone else,
00:03:31.171 --> 00:03:32.806
Into the arms of anyone else, because you were engineered
00:03:32.873 --> 00:03:34.341
Because you were engineered and designed to be the first
00:03:34.408 --> 00:03:35.542
And designed to be the first man that she would ever love.
00:03:35.609 --> 00:03:38.545
Man that she would ever love. just as the devil wants you,
00:03:38.612 --> 00:03:39.813
Just as the devil wants you, god wants you.
00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:41.515
God wants you. [amen.]
00:03:41.582 --> 00:03:42.149
[amen.] and here's what god says;
00:03:42.216 --> 00:03:43.150
And here's what god says; he says,
00:03:43.217 --> 00:03:43.784
He says, i want you to do justly.
00:03:43.851 --> 00:03:47.721
I want you to do justly. now that word "justly,"
00:03:47.788 --> 00:03:49.089
Now that word "justly," don't pass it off as something
00:03:49.156 --> 00:03:50.724
Don't pass it off as something you can't define.
00:03:50.791 --> 00:03:51.759
You can't define. what god is saying there is,
00:03:51.825 --> 00:03:53.027
What god is saying there is, i want you to do right.
00:03:53.093 --> 00:03:55.462
I want you to do right. [amen.]
00:03:55.529 --> 00:03:56.630
[amen.] when i was a child growing up,
00:03:56.697 --> 00:03:58.532
When i was a child growing up, and in my immaturity,
00:03:58.599 --> 00:03:59.967
And in my immaturity, pastor, when he would give me
00:04:00.034 --> 00:04:01.068
Pastor, when he would give me instructions,
00:04:01.135 --> 00:04:01.735
Instructions, he would give my step-by-step
00:04:01.802 --> 00:04:03.170
He would give my step-by-step instructions.
00:04:03.237 --> 00:04:05.039
Instructions. "matthew,
00:04:05.105 --> 00:04:05.506
"matthew, here's how you make a bed."
00:04:05.572 --> 00:04:06.807
Here's how you make a bed." "matthew,
00:04:06.874 --> 00:04:07.274
"matthew, here's how you sit
00:04:07.341 --> 00:04:08.075
Here's how you sit at the table."
00:04:08.142 --> 00:04:08.842
At the table." "matthew, here's how you shake
00:04:08.909 --> 00:04:10.044
"matthew, here's how you shake someone's hand."
00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:10.911
Someone's hand." "matthew, this is how
00:04:10.978 --> 00:04:11.912
"matthew, this is how you act."
00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:12.546
You act." and it would be
00:04:12.613 --> 00:04:13.247
And it would be step-by-step-by-step
00:04:13.314 --> 00:04:14.281
Step-by-step-by-step instructions.
00:04:14.348 --> 00:04:14.848
Instructions. but as i matured,
00:04:14.915 --> 00:04:16.250
But as i matured, he stopped giving me
00:04:16.317 --> 00:04:17.318
He stopped giving me the step-by-step,
00:04:17.384 --> 00:04:18.252
The step-by-step, and he would just say,
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:18.919
And he would just say, "hey."
00:04:18.986 --> 00:04:20.954
"hey." (laughter)
00:04:21.021 --> 00:04:22.456
(laughter) how many of you've had
00:04:22.523 --> 00:04:23.123
How many of you've had those short conversations?
00:04:23.190 --> 00:04:25.359
Those short conversations? (laughter)
00:04:25.426 --> 00:04:26.794
(laughter) and that abbreviated
00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:27.594
And that abbreviated conversation was his way
00:04:27.661 --> 00:04:28.962
Conversation was his way of saying,
00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:29.496
Of saying, "you know what to do."
00:04:29.563 --> 00:04:31.598
"you know what to do." [amen.]
00:04:31.665 --> 00:04:32.232
[amen.] "you know right;
00:04:32.299 --> 00:04:33.967
"you know right; why don't you do it?"
00:04:34.034 --> 00:04:36.036
Why don't you do it?" this is what god is saying
00:04:36.103 --> 00:04:36.937
This is what god is saying to men,
00:04:37.004 --> 00:04:37.571
To men, "do justly."
00:04:37.638 --> 00:04:39.640
"do justly." do what's right.
00:04:39.707 --> 00:04:42.443
Do what's right. the book of james says,
00:04:42.509 --> 00:04:43.243
The book of james says, "to him who knows to do right
00:04:43.310 --> 00:04:44.445
"to him who knows to do right and does it not,
00:04:44.511 --> 00:04:45.379
And does it not, to him it is sin."
00:04:45.446 --> 00:04:46.146
To him it is sin." so today,
00:04:46.213 --> 00:04:46.747
So today, god wants you to do right.

By your wife. ephesians 5:25 tells us,
00:04:51.852 --> 00:04:54.054
Ephesians 5:25 tells us, "husbands,
00:04:54.121 --> 00:04:54.822
"husbands, love your wife as christ loved
00:04:54.888 --> 00:04:56.724
Love your wife as christ loved the church and gave
00:04:56.790 --> 00:04:58.492
The church and gave himself --"

"and gave himself." "-- for her."
00:05:02.863 --> 00:05:03.931
"-- for her." the same way that christ
00:05:03.997 --> 00:05:05.199
The same way that christ gave himself for the church
00:05:05.265 --> 00:05:07.101
Gave himself for the church is the same way he wants you
00:05:07.167 --> 00:05:08.702
Is the same way he wants you to give yourself to your wife.
00:05:08.769 --> 00:05:11.138
To give yourself to your wife. [amen.]

Your wife will ever receive when you do what god has asked
00:05:16.677 --> 00:05:18.112
When you do what god has asked you to do in her life.
00:05:18.178 --> 00:05:19.747
You to do in her life. [amen.]
00:05:19.813 --> 00:05:20.414
[amen.] when the bible says,
00:05:20.481 --> 00:05:21.115
When the bible says, "give yourself,"
00:05:21.181 --> 00:05:22.249
"give yourself," he's saying,
00:05:22.316 --> 00:05:22.883
He's saying, give her your time,
00:05:22.950 --> 00:05:25.119
Give her your time, prioritize her.
00:05:25.185 --> 00:05:26.153
Prioritize her. that's what jesus did.
00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:27.788
That's what jesus did. he put the church first.
00:05:27.855 --> 00:05:31.091
He put the church first. not only did he prioritize us,
00:05:31.158 --> 00:05:33.060
Not only did he prioritize us, but he protected us.
00:05:33.127 --> 00:05:34.395
But he protected us. you protect your wife.
00:05:34.461 --> 00:05:35.496
You protect your wife. give her your loyalty.

[amen.] not only did he protect us,
00:05:38.332 --> 00:05:39.533
Not only did he protect us, but he provided for us.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.101
But he provided for us. you provide for your wife.
00:05:41.168 --> 00:05:42.703
You provide for your wife. give her your love.
00:05:42.770 --> 00:05:44.838

Right by your wife. he wants you to do right

He wants you to do right by your children.
00:05:47.808 --> 00:05:49.176
By your children. [amen.]
00:05:49.243 --> 00:05:50.144
[amen.] colossians 3:21 is a verse
00:05:50.210 --> 00:05:52.312
Colossians 3:21 is a verse that's very appropriate for
00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:53.614
That's very appropriate for the day in which we're living,
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:54.782
The day in which we're living, because colossians 3 says,
00:05:54.848 --> 00:05:56.250
Because colossians 3 says, "do not provoke your children
00:05:56.316 --> 00:05:58.285
"do not provoke your children to wrath."
00:05:58.352 --> 00:06:01.088
To wrath." now oftentimes,
00:06:01.155 --> 00:06:01.755
Now oftentimes, people want to know,
00:06:01.822 --> 00:06:02.222
People want to know, well, how can i anger
00:06:02.289 --> 00:06:03.157
Well, how can i anger my children?
00:06:03.223 --> 00:06:03.957
My children? if you look at the world
00:06:04.024 --> 00:06:04.825
If you look at the world around us right now,
00:06:04.892 --> 00:06:05.759
Around us right now, you see a generation of young
00:06:05.826 --> 00:06:07.060
You see a generation of young people that are so angry.
00:06:07.127 --> 00:06:10.431
People that are so angry. and they don't know why
00:06:10.497 --> 00:06:11.131
And they don't know why they're angry.
00:06:11.198 --> 00:06:11.732
They're angry. they're just mad
00:06:11.799 --> 00:06:12.466
They're just mad and frustrated,
00:06:12.533 --> 00:06:13.233
And frustrated, and they're taking out all of
00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:14.735
And they're taking out all of their anger and their issues
00:06:14.802 --> 00:06:15.869
Their anger and their issues in so many different
00:06:15.936 --> 00:06:16.770
In so many different unhealthy ways.
00:06:16.837 --> 00:06:17.805
Unhealthy ways. why?
00:06:17.871 --> 00:06:19.573
Why? because they've been provoked
00:06:19.640 --> 00:06:21.074
Because they've been provoked to wrath.
00:06:21.141 --> 00:06:23.210
To wrath. and how have they been
00:06:23.277 --> 00:06:24.077
And how have they been provoked?
00:06:24.144 --> 00:06:25.312
Provoked? they've been provoked,
00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:26.480
They've been provoked, because there's a generation
00:06:26.547 --> 00:06:27.614
Because there's a generation of children who have grown up
00:06:27.681 --> 00:06:28.982
Of children who have grown up without a father to show them
00:06:29.049 --> 00:06:30.551
Without a father to show them right from wrong.
00:06:30.617 --> 00:06:32.286
Right from wrong. [that's right.]
00:06:32.352 --> 00:06:33.120
[that's right.] they don't know what to do
00:06:33.187 --> 00:06:34.822
They don't know what to do and they're mad about it.
00:06:34.888 --> 00:06:38.025
And they're mad about it. that's why colossians 3:21
00:06:38.091 --> 00:06:39.760
That's why colossians 3:21 tells us,
00:06:39.827 --> 00:06:40.527
Tells us, fathers, do right
00:06:40.594 --> 00:06:41.628
Fathers, do right by your children.
00:06:41.695 --> 00:06:42.663
By your children. train them.
00:06:42.729 --> 00:06:43.564
Train them. show them.
00:06:43.630 --> 00:06:44.465
Show them. teach them.
00:06:44.531 --> 00:06:45.999
Teach them. it's an echo of what god said
00:06:46.066 --> 00:06:47.835
It's an echo of what god said to the fathers in israel
00:06:47.901 --> 00:06:48.836
To the fathers in israel in deuteronomy 6.
00:06:48.902 --> 00:06:50.337
In deuteronomy 6. "and you fathers,
00:06:50.404 --> 00:06:51.538
"and you fathers, teach diligently to
00:06:51.605 --> 00:06:53.407
Teach diligently to your children."
00:06:53.474 --> 00:06:55.509
Your children." "teach diligently."
00:06:55.576 --> 00:06:57.544
"teach diligently." what does that word mean?
00:06:57.611 --> 00:06:58.512
What does that word mean? do it consistently.
00:06:58.579 --> 00:06:59.813
Do it consistently. don't just do it on sunday.
00:06:59.880 --> 00:07:01.048
Don't just do it on sunday. do it monday, tuesday,

Well, where do i teach them? deuteronomy 6 says,
00:07:06.553 --> 00:07:07.454
Deuteronomy 6 says, "when you sit in your house,
00:07:07.521 --> 00:07:08.655
"when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way,
00:07:08.722 --> 00:07:09.923
When you walk by the way, when you lie down,
00:07:09.990 --> 00:07:10.991
When you lie down, and when you rise up."
00:07:11.058 --> 00:07:12.292

00:14:19.486 --> 00:14:20.553
And no matter what they get into in life,
00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:21.888
Into in life, you, dad,
00:14:21.955 --> 00:14:22.756
You, dad, will always love them.
00:14:22.822 --> 00:14:24.257
Will always love them. and the love of a father
00:14:24.324 --> 00:14:25.325
And the love of a father can conquer everything
00:14:25.392 --> 00:14:26.793
Can conquer everything that they'll ever face,
00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:27.994
That they'll ever face, because you'll be there
00:14:28.061 --> 00:14:29.262
Because you'll be there right beside them.
00:14:29.329 --> 00:14:30.697
Right beside them. [amen.]
00:14:30.764 --> 00:14:32.065
[amen.] god not only wants you to gird
00:14:32.132 --> 00:14:33.300
God not only wants you to gird them.
00:14:33.366 --> 00:14:33.900
Them. he wants you to guide them.
00:14:33.967 --> 00:14:36.403
He wants you to guide them. and the way that a father
00:14:36.469 --> 00:14:37.203
And the way that a father guides his family is that he
00:14:37.270 --> 00:14:39.372
Guides his family is that he shows them how well he follows
00:14:39.439 --> 00:14:41.441
Shows them how well he follows christ.
00:14:41.508 --> 00:14:44.010
Christ. because the bible tells us
00:14:44.077 --> 00:14:45.011
Because the bible tells us in 1 corinthians 11
00:14:45.078 --> 00:14:46.613
In 1 corinthians 11 that the head of every man
00:14:46.680 --> 00:14:48.481
That the head of every man is christ.
00:14:48.548 --> 00:14:49.282
Is christ. say that with me.
00:14:49.349 --> 00:14:50.216
Say that with me. "the head of every man
00:14:50.283 --> 00:14:52.085
"the head of every man is christ."
00:14:52.152 --> 00:14:52.886
Is christ." so you do not have
00:14:52.953 --> 00:14:53.920
So you do not have a biblical right to demand
00:14:53.987 --> 00:14:55.588
A biblical right to demand anyone follows you until you
00:14:55.655 --> 00:14:57.757
Anyone follows you until you prove that you can follow him.
00:14:57.824 --> 00:14:59.960
Prove that you can follow him. [amen.]
00:15:00.026 --> 00:15:00.794
[amen.] (applause)
00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:06.333
(applause) now men hear messages like
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.767
Now men hear messages like this and some men will sit
00:15:07.834 --> 00:15:09.402
This and some men will sit back and say,
00:15:09.469 --> 00:15:09.936
Back and say, "well, you can't blame me
00:15:10.003 --> 00:15:11.404
"well, you can't blame me because of the way i was
00:15:11.471 --> 00:15:12.405
Because of the way i was raised."
00:15:12.472 --> 00:15:12.906
Raised." "you can't expect me to be
00:15:12.973 --> 00:15:14.207
"you can't expect me to be that kind of a father because
00:15:14.274 --> 00:15:15.709
That kind of a father because of the kind of father i had."
00:15:15.775 --> 00:15:18.678
Of the kind of father i had." that's not true.
00:15:18.745 --> 00:15:20.914
That's not true. the bible is truth.
00:15:20.981 --> 00:15:23.049
The bible is truth. and this is the standard for
00:15:23.116 --> 00:15:24.250
And this is the standard for all men.
00:15:24.317 --> 00:15:24.884
All men. you don't get graded on
00:15:24.951 --> 00:15:25.986
You don't get graded on a curve because of where you
00:15:26.052 --> 00:15:27.520
A curve because of where you came from.
00:15:27.587 --> 00:15:28.355
Came from. you open up this word,
00:15:28.421 --> 00:15:30.123
You open up this word, and this word tells you
00:15:30.190 --> 00:15:31.558
And this word tells you who you were created to be,
00:15:31.624 --> 00:15:32.993
Who you were created to be, and what you were created
00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:34.027
And what you were created to be,
00:15:34.094 --> 00:15:34.694
To be, and how to do it.
00:15:34.761 --> 00:15:35.862
And how to do it. you cannot be irresponsible
00:15:35.929 --> 00:15:38.098
You cannot be irresponsible for yourself and blame the way
00:15:38.164 --> 00:15:40.200
For yourself and blame the way you were raised.
00:15:40.266 --> 00:15:41.201
You were raised. you don't get to shrug
00:15:41.267 --> 00:15:42.168
You don't get to shrug your shoulders and say,
00:15:42.235 --> 00:15:42.936
Your shoulders and say, "well, that's not the way
00:15:43.003 --> 00:15:44.137
"well, that's not the way my dad did it."
00:15:44.204 --> 00:15:44.971
My dad did it." if you've been to the cross,
00:15:45.038 --> 00:15:47.173
If you've been to the cross, then the bible did not say
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:48.541
Then the bible did not say that you were a rebuilt
00:15:48.608 --> 00:15:50.276
That you were a rebuilt version of your old self.
00:15:50.343 --> 00:15:51.778
Version of your old self. it said,
00:15:51.845 --> 00:15:52.379
It said, "you are a new creature
00:15:52.445 --> 00:15:53.813
"you are a new creature in christ jesus.
00:15:53.880 --> 00:15:55.315
In christ jesus. old things have passed away,
00:15:55.382 --> 00:15:57.584
Old things have passed away, and behold,
00:15:57.650 --> 00:15:58.218
And behold, all things have become new."
00:15:58.284 --> 00:16:00.420
All things have become new." give the lord a handclap
00:16:00.487 --> 00:16:01.654
Give the lord a handclap of praise!
00:16:01.721 --> 00:16:03.757
Of praise! (applause)
00:16:03.823 --> 00:16:06.693
(applause) i've had men tell me,
00:16:06.760 --> 00:16:07.761
I've had men tell me, "my father shut me out."
00:16:07.827 --> 00:16:09.229
"my father shut me out." that does not mean that you
00:16:09.295 --> 00:16:10.263
That does not mean that you cannot pull your family in.
00:16:10.330 --> 00:16:12.699
Cannot pull your family in. [amen.]
00:16:12.766 --> 00:16:13.266
[amen.] i've had men tell me,
00:16:13.333 --> 00:16:14.300
I've had men tell me, "he wasn't there for me."
00:16:14.367 --> 00:16:15.568
"he wasn't there for me." that doesn't mean you get
00:16:15.635 --> 00:16:16.569
That doesn't mean you get an exit.
00:16:16.636 --> 00:16:18.138
An exit. [that's right.]
00:16:18.204 --> 00:16:19.005
[that's right.] "he never showed me any love."
00:16:19.072 --> 00:16:20.540
"he never showed me any love." that doesn't give you
00:16:20.607 --> 00:16:21.241
That doesn't give you permission to never wrap
00:16:21.307 --> 00:16:22.409
Permission to never wrap your arms around your children
00:16:22.475 --> 00:16:23.777
Your arms around your children with a hug.
00:16:23.843 --> 00:16:24.444
With a hug. [amen.]
00:16:24.511 --> 00:16:25.245
[amen.] [that's right.]
00:16:25.311 --> 00:16:25.812
[that's right.] "he never,
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:26.413
"he never, he never,
00:16:26.479 --> 00:16:27.147
He never, he never."
00:16:27.213 --> 00:16:28.982
He never." if he never prayed,
00:16:29.049 --> 00:16:30.083
If he never prayed, if he never read,
00:16:30.150 --> 00:16:31.117
If he never read, if he never led,
00:16:31.184 --> 00:16:32.285
If he never led, it doesn't mean you can't.
00:16:32.352 --> 00:16:33.887
It doesn't mean you can't. it means evermore that you
00:16:33.953 --> 00:16:35.321
It means evermore that you should.
00:16:35.388 --> 00:16:35.989
Should. why?
00:16:36.056 --> 00:16:36.489
Why? so that you can show your
00:16:36.556 --> 00:16:37.757
So that you can show your children there's a better way,
00:16:37.824 --> 00:16:39.659
Children there's a better way, so that you can tell hell that
00:16:39.726 --> 00:16:41.294
So that you can tell hell that generational curse that they
00:16:41.361 --> 00:16:42.862
Generational curse that they tried to get off of
00:16:42.929 --> 00:16:43.696
Tried to get off of one generation,
00:16:43.763 --> 00:16:44.798
One generation, it died with you because
00:16:44.864 --> 00:16:46.833
It died with you because you've been to the cross.
00:16:46.900 --> 00:16:47.934
You've been to the cross. and you've been covered
00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:48.735
And you've been covered in blood,
00:16:48.802 --> 00:16:49.536
In blood, and the blood of jesus christ
00:16:49.602 --> 00:16:51.004
And the blood of jesus christ has broken the chain
00:16:51.071 --> 00:16:52.172
Has broken the chain of bitterness.
00:16:52.238 --> 00:16:53.039
Of bitterness. the blood of jesus christ
00:16:53.106 --> 00:16:54.307
The blood of jesus christ has broken rejection.
00:16:54.374 --> 00:16:55.942
Has broken rejection. the blood of jesus christ
00:16:56.009 --> 00:16:57.077
The blood of jesus christ has broken hate.
00:16:57.143 --> 00:16:58.344
Has broken hate. it's destroyed prejudice,
00:16:58.411 --> 00:16:59.913
It's destroyed prejudice, and all things have been
00:16:59.979 --> 00:17:01.114
And all things have been made new!
00:17:01.181 --> 00:17:03.183
Made new! (applause)
00:17:03.249 --> 00:17:05.051
(applause) when you learn to see yourself
00:17:05.118 --> 00:17:06.419
When you learn to see yourself in scripture,
00:17:06.486 --> 00:17:07.454
In scripture, then you begin to build
00:17:07.520 --> 00:17:08.354
Then you begin to build an expectation of what god
00:17:08.421 --> 00:17:09.722
An expectation of what god will do for you,
00:17:09.789 --> 00:17:10.857
Will do for you, because he's no respecter
00:17:10.924 --> 00:17:12.058
Because he's no respecter of persons.
00:17:12.125 --> 00:17:12.725
Of persons. what he's done for someone
00:17:12.792 --> 00:17:13.793
What he's done for someone else,
00:17:13.860 --> 00:17:14.461
Else, he'll do for you too.
00:17:14.527 --> 00:17:15.795
He'll do for you too. [amen.]
00:17:15.862 --> 00:17:16.629
[amen.] i want you to see,
00:17:16.696 --> 00:17:17.330
I want you to see, in this sermon,
00:17:17.397 --> 00:17:21.000
In this sermon, the father who got
00:17:21.067 --> 00:17:21.801
The father who got a second chance.
00:17:21.868 --> 00:17:24.471
A second chance. and i'm so thankful
00:17:24.537 --> 00:17:25.505
And i'm so thankful that this father is found
00:17:25.572 --> 00:17:26.506
That this father is found in scripture,
00:17:26.573 --> 00:17:27.140
In scripture, because every father needs
00:17:27.207 --> 00:17:28.641
Because every father needs a second chance.
00:17:28.708 --> 00:17:31.744
A second chance. this father is jacob.
00:17:31.811 --> 00:17:33.813
This father is jacob. he's the father of joseph.
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.249
He's the father of joseph. he's also the father
00:17:36.316 --> 00:17:37.283
He's also the father of the nation of israel.
00:17:37.350 --> 00:17:39.486
Of the nation of israel. and when you read about jacob
00:17:39.552 --> 00:17:40.954
And when you read about jacob in scripture,
00:17:41.020 --> 00:17:42.188
In scripture, sometimes he's called
00:17:42.255 --> 00:17:43.523
Sometimes he's called "israel,"
00:17:43.590 --> 00:17:44.224
"israel," and sometimes he's called
00:17:44.290 --> 00:17:45.358
And sometimes he's called "jacob."
00:17:45.425 --> 00:17:45.892
"jacob." why?
00:17:45.959 --> 00:17:47.393
Why? because jacob was the name
00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.828
Because jacob was the name that his parents gave him.
00:17:48.895 --> 00:17:50.296
That his parents gave him. it means heel catcher.
00:17:50.363 --> 00:17:53.066
It means heel catcher. and without getting into
00:17:53.133 --> 00:17:53.700
And without getting into too many details of the story,
00:17:53.766 --> 00:17:55.101
Too many details of the story, jacob is a twin to
00:17:55.168 --> 00:17:56.302
Jacob is a twin to his brother, esau.
00:17:56.369 --> 00:17:57.537
His brother, esau. and in a peculiar way,
00:17:57.604 --> 00:17:58.938
And in a peculiar way, on the day he was born,
00:17:59.005 --> 00:18:00.406
On the day he was born, he came out holding onto
00:18:00.473 --> 00:18:02.208
He came out holding onto his brother's heel.
00:18:02.275 --> 00:18:03.643
His brother's heel. so he carries the name jacob,
00:18:03.710 --> 00:18:05.111
So he carries the name jacob, which means deceiver.
00:18:05.178 --> 00:18:07.247
Which means deceiver. it means trickster.
00:18:07.313 --> 00:18:08.781
It means trickster. it means liar.
00:18:08.848 --> 00:18:10.483
It means liar. no offense to all the jacobs
00:18:10.550 --> 00:18:11.751
No offense to all the jacobs in our house.
00:18:11.818 --> 00:18:13.219
In our house. (laughter)
00:18:13.286 --> 00:18:15.955
(laughter) but in the midst of his life,
00:18:16.022 --> 00:18:18.625
But in the midst of his life, jacob encounters god.
00:18:18.691 --> 00:18:20.493
Jacob encounters god. and in a wrestling match
00:18:20.560 --> 00:18:21.661
And in a wrestling match that he has with an angel
00:18:21.728 --> 00:18:22.762
That he has with an angel of the lord,
00:18:22.829 --> 00:18:23.530
Of the lord, the angel of the lord changes
00:18:23.596 --> 00:18:25.565
The angel of the lord changes jacob's name.
00:18:25.632 --> 00:18:26.699
Jacob's name. and the name that he gives him
00:18:26.766 --> 00:18:28.034
And the name that he gives him is israel,
00:18:28.101 --> 00:18:29.135
Is israel, which means prince with god.
00:18:29.202 --> 00:18:32.272
Which means prince with god. so in this man's life,
00:18:32.338 --> 00:18:33.773
So in this man's life, there are two characters.
00:18:33.840 --> 00:18:36.342
There are two characters. one of flesh,
00:18:36.409 --> 00:18:38.478
One of flesh, the liar;
00:18:38.545 --> 00:18:39.913
The liar; and the other born
00:18:39.979 --> 00:18:40.914
And the other born of the spirit,
00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:42.182
Of the spirit, a prince with god.
00:18:42.248 --> 00:18:44.918
A prince with god. every man and every person in
00:18:44.984 --> 00:18:46.719
Every man and every person in this room has two characters,
00:18:46.786 --> 00:18:48.955
This room has two characters, one that you were born with,
00:18:49.022 --> 00:18:50.557
One that you were born with, and one that god has created
00:18:50.623 --> 00:18:52.091
And one that god has created in you.
00:18:52.158 --> 00:18:53.693
In you. (applause)
00:18:53.760 --> 00:18:57.463
(applause) you have a heart of flesh
00:18:57.530 --> 00:18:58.998
You have a heart of flesh that will always want to do
00:18:59.065 --> 00:19:00.200
That will always want to do the world thing.
00:19:00.266 --> 00:19:01.568
The world thing. and you have a heart for god
00:19:01.634 --> 00:19:02.902
And you have a heart for god that will always want to do
00:19:02.969 --> 00:19:03.903
That will always want to do his thing.
00:19:03.970 --> 00:19:05.104
His thing. [amen!]
00:19:05.171 --> 00:19:06.406
[amen!] now here's the story of
00:19:06.472 --> 00:19:07.440
Now here's the story of jacob's second chance.
00:19:07.507 --> 00:19:08.841
Jacob's second chance. jacob had a son named joseph.
00:19:08.908 --> 00:19:10.610
Jacob had a son named joseph. and when joseph was
00:19:10.677 --> 00:19:11.544
And when joseph was a teenager,
00:19:11.611 --> 00:19:12.278
A teenager, his brothers tried to kill
00:19:12.345 --> 00:19:13.746
His brothers tried to kill him.
00:19:13.813 --> 00:19:14.214
Him. that's when you know you've
00:19:14.280 --> 00:19:15.014
That's when you know you've got problems in the family.
00:19:15.081 --> 00:19:17.417
Got problems in the family. (laughter)
00:19:17.483 --> 00:19:19.686
(laughter) one day,
00:19:19.752 --> 00:19:20.119
One day, they throw him into a pit.
00:19:20.186 --> 00:19:21.654
They throw him into a pit. and while they're deciding
00:19:21.721 --> 00:19:22.555
And while they're deciding what they're going to do
00:19:22.622 --> 00:19:23.389
What they're going to do with him,
00:19:23.456 --> 00:19:24.057
With him, they sell him into slavery
00:19:24.123 --> 00:19:25.525
They sell him into slavery and they send him to egypt.
00:19:25.592 --> 00:19:28.595
And they send him to egypt. these boys go home
00:19:28.661 --> 00:19:29.662
These boys go home and they tell dad,
00:19:29.729 --> 00:19:30.863
And they tell dad, with the soiled,
00:19:30.930 --> 00:19:31.798
With the soiled, bloody garment
00:19:31.864 --> 00:19:32.398
Bloody garment of their brother,
00:19:32.465 --> 00:19:33.266
Of their brother, that he was killed by
00:19:33.333 --> 00:19:34.500
That he was killed by a wild animal.
00:19:34.567 --> 00:19:37.203
A wild animal. and so for years,
00:19:37.270 --> 00:19:38.438
And so for years, jacob feels as though his son
00:19:38.504 --> 00:19:40.373
Jacob feels as though his son is dead,
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.174
Is dead, and he's lost joseph.
00:19:41.241 --> 00:19:43.810
And he's lost joseph. but then in genesis 45:26,
00:19:43.876 --> 00:19:47.714
But then in genesis 45:26, his sons discover that joseph
00:19:47.780 --> 00:19:51.117
His sons discover that joseph is alive and in egypt.
00:19:51.184 --> 00:19:54.220
Is alive and in egypt. and joseph has revealed
00:19:54.287 --> 00:19:55.688
And joseph has revealed himself to his brothers.
00:19:55.755 --> 00:19:58.358
Himself to his brothers. and now the boys have to go
00:19:58.424 --> 00:19:59.826
And now the boys have to go home and tell dad,
00:19:59.892 --> 00:20:01.294
Home and tell dad, "hey, you remember that kid
00:20:01.361 --> 00:20:02.295
"hey, you remember that kid we thought was dead?
00:20:02.362 --> 00:20:04.664
We thought was dead? he's back."
00:20:04.731 --> 00:20:06.432
He's back." (laughter)
00:20:06.499 --> 00:20:09.002
(laughter) and the bible says that
00:20:09.068 --> 00:20:10.336
And the bible says that they told jacob,
00:20:10.403 --> 00:20:11.537
They told jacob, "joseph is still alive.
00:20:11.604 --> 00:20:13.773
"joseph is still alive. he is the governor of the land
00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:15.141
He is the governor of the land of egypt."
00:20:15.208 --> 00:20:16.743
Of egypt." and the bible says,
00:20:16.809 --> 00:20:17.410
And the bible says, "and jacob's heart stood
00:20:17.477 --> 00:20:19.812
"and jacob's heart stood still."
00:20:19.879 --> 00:20:22.282
Still." now here's the picture;
00:20:22.348 --> 00:20:24.150
Now here's the picture; any time you read "jacob,"
00:20:24.217 --> 00:20:26.319
Any time you read "jacob," you're talking about the man
00:20:26.386 --> 00:20:27.353
You're talking about the man of flesh.
00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:30.089
Of flesh. and when it says,
00:20:30.156 --> 00:20:30.690
And when it says, "jacob's heart stood still,"
00:20:30.757 --> 00:20:32.492
"jacob's heart stood still," jacob was afraid.
00:20:32.558 --> 00:20:35.128
Jacob was afraid. oh, no.
00:20:35.194 --> 00:20:37.597
Oh, no. joseph is alive.
00:20:37.664 --> 00:20:39.999
Joseph is alive. joseph is powerful.
00:20:40.066 --> 00:20:42.835
Joseph is powerful. joseph could have all of us
00:20:42.902 --> 00:20:44.570
Joseph could have all of us wiped off the face of
00:20:44.637 --> 00:20:45.772
Wiped off the face of the earth and there's nothing
00:20:45.838 --> 00:20:48.241
The earth and there's nothing we could do about it.
00:20:48.308 --> 00:20:50.710
We could do about it. i don't know if we should go
00:20:50.777 --> 00:20:51.678
I don't know if we should go see joseph.
00:20:51.744 --> 00:20:52.512
See joseph. maybe we should start with
00:20:52.578 --> 00:20:53.446
Maybe we should start with a card.
00:20:53.513 --> 00:20:55.214
A card. (laughter)
00:20:55.281 --> 00:20:56.616
(laughter) maybe i just like one of
00:20:56.683 --> 00:20:57.650
Maybe i just like one of his posts on facebook
00:20:57.717 --> 00:20:59.018
His posts on facebook and see if he dm's me back.
00:20:59.085 --> 00:21:01.754
And see if he dm's me back. (laughter)
00:21:01.821 --> 00:21:02.855
(laughter) i know.
00:21:02.922 --> 00:21:03.690
I know. i'll use an emoji.
00:21:03.756 --> 00:21:05.825
I'll use an emoji. (laughter)
00:21:05.892 --> 00:21:07.527
(laughter) whatever it was that jacob
00:21:07.593 --> 00:21:08.928
Whatever it was that jacob was trying to figure out,
00:21:08.995 --> 00:21:10.296
Was trying to figure out, what he wanted, as a father,
00:21:10.363 --> 00:21:11.864
What he wanted, as a father, was to be reconnected with
00:21:11.931 --> 00:21:13.032
Was to be reconnected with his son.
00:21:13.099 --> 00:21:13.766
His son. but he was too afraid to move
00:21:13.833 --> 00:21:15.268
But he was too afraid to move forward,
00:21:15.335 --> 00:21:15.735
Forward, because he didn't know how
00:21:15.802 --> 00:21:16.636
Because he didn't know how that reconnection was going
00:21:16.703 --> 00:21:17.870
That reconnection was going to go.
00:21:17.937 --> 00:21:20.506
To go. god in heaven was up in heaven
00:21:20.573 --> 00:21:21.974
God in heaven was up in heaven saying,
00:21:22.041 --> 00:21:22.475
Saying, jacob, you didn't orchestrate
00:21:22.542 --> 00:21:24.877
Jacob, you didn't orchestrate the second chance;
00:21:24.944 --> 00:21:26.245
The second chance; i did.
00:21:26.312 --> 00:21:27.880
I did. suddenly,
00:21:27.947 --> 00:21:28.514
Suddenly, the spirit man woke up
00:21:28.581 --> 00:21:29.949
The spirit man woke up in jacob.
00:21:30.016 --> 00:21:30.783
In jacob. and the bible says,
00:21:30.850 --> 00:21:31.818
And the bible says, "israel said, 'it is enough.
00:21:31.884 --> 00:21:34.420
"israel said, 'it is enough. joseph my son is alive.
00:21:34.487 --> 00:21:36.989
Joseph my son is alive. i will go see him.'"
00:21:37.056 --> 00:21:39.292
I will go see him.'" suddenly,
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:40.126
Suddenly, israel was going to do what
00:21:40.193 --> 00:21:41.461
Israel was going to do what god wanted him to do,
00:21:41.527 --> 00:21:42.829
God wanted him to do, which was reconnect with
00:21:42.895 --> 00:21:44.297
Which was reconnect with the one that he had lost.
00:21:44.364 --> 00:21:45.665
The one that he had lost. what i'm saying to you,
00:21:45.732 --> 00:21:46.699
What i'm saying to you, fathers,
00:21:46.766 --> 00:21:47.233
Fathers, if you need a second chance,
00:21:47.300 --> 00:21:48.801
If you need a second chance, our god is a god of second
00:21:48.868 --> 00:21:50.603
Our god is a god of second chances and new beginnings.
00:21:50.670 --> 00:21:52.038
Chances and new beginnings. but you're going to have to
00:21:52.105 --> 00:21:53.072
But you're going to have to put away your flesh
00:21:53.139 --> 00:21:54.574
Put away your flesh that's filled with fear,
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:55.775
That's filled with fear, and you're going to have to,
00:21:55.842 --> 00:21:56.976
And you're going to have to, with the spirit of god,
00:21:57.043 --> 00:21:58.044
With the spirit of god, say, "it's enough.
00:21:58.111 --> 00:21:59.579
Say, "it's enough. it's enough for this distance
00:21:59.645 --> 00:22:01.481
It's enough for this distance to be between us.
00:22:01.547 --> 00:22:02.415
To be between us. it's enough for this problem
00:22:02.482 --> 00:22:04.183
It's enough for this problem to not be solved.
00:22:04.250 --> 00:22:05.385
To not be solved. it's enough for this addiction
00:22:05.451 --> 00:22:07.153
It's enough for this addiction to continue.
00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:08.020
To continue. it's enough for this attitude
00:22:08.087 --> 00:22:09.622
It's enough for this attitude not to change.
00:22:09.689 --> 00:22:10.523
Not to change. it's enough,
00:22:10.590 --> 00:22:11.457
It's enough, because with god's help
00:22:11.524 --> 00:22:12.792
Because with god's help and god's grace,
00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:13.926
And god's grace, he'll make a way where there
00:22:13.993 --> 00:22:15.128
He'll make a way where there seems to be no way.
00:22:15.194 --> 00:22:16.662
Seems to be no way. and my god,
00:22:16.729 --> 00:22:17.563
And my god, who gives second chances,
00:22:17.630 --> 00:22:19.098
Who gives second chances, is going to do a miracle work
00:22:19.165 --> 00:22:20.533
Is going to do a miracle work in my family today!"

You say, "but pastor,

That's in my past." let the spirit of god tell you

Let the spirit of god tell you it's enough.

It's enough. "pastor, you don't know

And you don't know the hurt, and you don't know the worry,
