AND GOD BLSSED THE HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM

you have your Bibles tonight turn with me to the Old Testament book of 2nd Samuel 2nd Samuel the sixth chapter 2nd samuel chapter 6 beginning in verse verse number 9 2nd samuel chapter 6 verse 9 if you've got the right bibles on page 534 make it easy for you if you've got the wrong kind of bible get the right one i'm kidding maybe 2nd samuel chapter 6 beginning in verse number 9 and david was afraid of the lord that day and said how shall the Ark of the Lord come to me so David would not remove the Ark of the Lord unto him into the City of David but David carried it aside into the house of obed-edom they get tight and the Ark of the Lord continued in the house of obed-edom to get tight three months and the Lord blessed obed-edom and all his household I want to say that one more time and I want you to get this into your spirit and the Lord blessed obed-edom and all his household and I want to use sore subject preaching a few moments tonight and God blessed the house of obed-edom lot a lot but feel that and God blessed the house of obed-edom and not only did he bless the house of obed-edom he can bless your house as well and God blessed the house of obed-edom let's pray Heavenly Father we come before you in the name of Jesus we thank you for your presence that has been in this place tonight we thank you O God for all that you have done for us a Calvary's cross we ask humbly for the anointing of the Holy Spirit we cannot minister tonight without the anointing of the Holy Spirit we ask that you would anoint our ears to hear what you would have us to say and God blessed this house tonight and everyone in it and we ask it in the mighty name of Jesus and everybody said and everybody said amen the other night I was in bed I was trying to get some much-needed sleep and of course I think with this message on my mind I got just a few hours of sleep but the Lord began to bring back to my mind as he does every once in a while how that the message of the Cross came to me you know brother Larson said something this morning when he was sharing his testimony he said you may get tired of hearing it but I don't get tired of hearing it or sharing it in church when you've got a testimony you don't ever get tired of hearing it and you don't ever get tired of sharing it and you may get tired of hearing this but I never get tired of hearing what God has done for me I was about 22 years of age maybe 20 to 23 years of age it was a Sunday morning our grandfather was ministering i reaiiy don't remember the service at all I don't remember who was singing I don't remember the specials I don't even remember the title the text that my grandfather used but in the midst of his message he made a statement that forever changed my life but before I say that what that statement was I want to lay a little bit of groundwork just for a few moments here if you will give me a few moments of your time to elaborate I was born in September the 19th 1979 we got any 70s children in the house so all right I feel you thank God we don't wear bell-bottoms anymore but I was born in church I was raised in church I sat under some of the greatest ministers of the gospel the world has ever known and I do not back up by saying that I remembered some moments in time traveling with those crews on those Crusades when my mom would actually be able to bring me my brother Matthew my older sister Jennifer on that particular crusade I I don't remember a lot of it because I was young but I do remember certain parts I remember me and my brother as a child going early with my father to help with the setup in one of those giant coliseums back in that time frame I must have been about seven eight years old maybe six seven eight something like that and I can remember it was on one of those afternoons it was I think the day before the crusade would start I believe it was on the Thursday and my father was going around making sure everything was a-ok every day all the lights were being set up right the crew was working right and everything what-have-you and there were a couple of guys and I believe Rick Morrow was one of them who was one of our former sound men he would wrap up a black masking tape make it into a ball and he would find a broom and he would put X's in the shape of a baseball diamond and while everybody was setting things up and while he was waiting he would play stickball with me and my brother I do remember that I don't remember much else but I do remember that but going back and watching some of those classic Crusades over the network and seeing what God was doing at that time and even though at times I was present I don't remember but watching those things you can sense the presence of God and spirit of God and some of those messages that were preached 30 and 40 years ago are still applicable right now and even those messages that were preached 30 and 40 years ago you're still we're still seeing people being saved and baptized with the Holy Spirit by watching the network and watching those classic Crusades let me deviate for a moment and let me say share this story last August during the flood of Louisiana the great flood of Louisiana so many of you were helping regarding putting things and and whatever was nice applies in the hands of people who had lost everything we had people coming from all over the country to help and volunteer at this effort one couple one couple came I've known this couple from I would daresay close to ten years I preached for them in a little town called Okeechobee Florida you ever heard of that I've only been there a couple times I had a great time when I was there too they stayed for a few days and they came to the cross fire service and the gentleman died I will not reveal his name but he pulled me off to the side he said Gabe I got to share a testimony with you said sure he said right before we were to leave they were driving a semi full of equipment full of supplies that were needed by a lot of the people here in Baton Rouge and Denham Springs and Walker and Gonzales and whatever the surrounding areas it was a 15 hour drive in that semi 15 hours in that semi the night before they were to leave they went over to her his father-in-law's house the pastor of their church where they serve and they were going to let them know that they were leaving out early early early in the morning they would not see him until they got back when they walked into the home met by his mother-in-law his wife's mom she asked her mom were where's daddy the mom looked at and said you might want to give him a minute he's in the back what's going on he said just give him a minute she did they walked back into the back bedroom where he was wiping tears away from his eyes she said daddy what's the matter he sat down and said you'll never believe it you'll never believe what just happened he said I knew whenever I was running from God I knew my momma got saved at a Jimmy Swaggart crusade I was running from God I did not want anything to do with God and yet I knew God had called me to preach but I was running I didn't want anything to do with God and yet it was through the prayers of my momma after she got saved at a Jimmy Swaggart crusade in Nashville Tennessee and I believe the year was 1985 that just a few years later I would get saved baptized with the Holy Spirit and called right into the ministry he said I'm getting ready for bed I tabbed the television set on it's the Jimmy Swaggart classic crusade I'm watching it I'm listening to it in the background and finally I turned around and brother Swaggart was given an altar call on salvation and I just happened to stop and as that camera was pen in the crowd that camera landed on my mama he said I watched my mama walk down that aisle he said I watched my mama with tears running down her cheeks say yes to Jesus Christ that was some 30 odd years ago and he said I'm here because my momma got saying had a crusade and Nashville Tennessee what a testimony but growing up in church saved at the age of five baptized with the Holy Spirit the age of eight I knew I was called to preach as well I knew it and I think some of you who were here and that time you used to pinch my cheek and tell me that I was as well but all growing up sitting under the greatest ministers of the gospel who would ever live I never understood even as a teenager I never understood how to live for God I tried in my own ways I tried to do things in my own efforts I tried and I struggled I struggled and failed I failed and was miserable and there were times and I know many of you understand what I'm talking about when you get to that place where you don't know what else to do at times you feel like you want to wave the white flag of surrender and say I don't know what else to do I've tried everything else I've done this I've done that I tried this and I've tried that but I still seem to fail and I don't understand why I would go off to college in Oklahoma and even though I met some great individuals who I'm still close to to this day I think it was the mother the the most miserable two-and-a-half years of my life I mean I was miserable because I didn't know how to live for God I didn't understand it I would walk to my dorm with tears running down my face saying god I don't understand it I'm trying I'm doing everything I know to do but I just don't know how to live for you and I get so frustrated at myself because I know better but I don't know what to do and then on a Wednesday night November of 2001 sitting in my bedroom by myself my dorm room I should say sitting on the edge of my bed the Spirit of God came into my room and all he told me was this it's time for you to go home and I said Lord you ain't got to tell me twice I had two weeks left in that semester I went to class I didn't take a lick one licker notes I mean I did not the tests and exams I signed my name and handed him in and my teacher would look at it and said you don't this do you signed your name you didn't answer anything I said no I didn't she said why not I said sayonara I'm out of here I'm going back to Baton Rouge I had a teacher to one of my professors tell me she said I asked her point-blank what do I need this class for she said well what if you're going to do this and I said I'm not going to do that what if you don't do that well I don't know I'm not going to do that either well what about this I'm not doing that either she said well why are you here I said I hadn't figured that out yet she said I think you might want to reconsider I said I think I might there's about two weeks later when the Lord said go home that's when I said I thought I'm fine with that I came home enrolled into Bible College and even under some of the greatest professors and teachers of the Bible that we have in the world even listening to brother Larson brother Bob and sister Sharon at that time in others as they were teaching and they were administering own the message of the cross I still did not understand it I would hear it but I couldn't comprehend what they were saying until one morning on a Sunday morning here at Family Worship Center I was sitting where Jason Stidham is sitting I was listening to the message that morning like I said I don't remember what my grandfather was ministering on that morning but he was standing right here back then he doesn't do it much now but back then when he ministered he start there begin here and eventually make his way all the way down there and I remember seeing him walking up this aisle and that out high-fiving people I was at it but at that moment that met that morning he was standing right here and he was facing this section and then all of a sudden he just turned around mid-sentence and pointed that finger classic pointed that finger right into that camera said the answer that you seek is found in the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ the same thing the Holy Spirit said to him some years before he was telling the whole world and that morning sitting in that chair all of a sudden it was like the veil was removed I sat there for a moment I felt the presence of God as the Holy Spirit was telling me that's your answer you've been trying to all the wrong way that's your answer seek the cross look to the cross look to the cross look to Christ and what he did it was at that moment it was like as some of you have stated it was like I was born again all over again I mean the Spirit of God moved on my life and it was the beginning of a change that hasn't stopped from then until now and it will never change it will never stop I should say from the moment I die it will never stop but it will continue to grow as long as we remain faithful and humble and looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith God changed my life thank God that I can stand here and say at 37 years of age that I thank God that even at this young age at 23 I think was twenty-three years old that I was exposed to the message of Jesus Christ and him crucified thank God that I can say I was exposed to the teaching of the message of the Cross it's revolutionized my life and it will continue to do so in a positive manner now thank God for that in my opinion one of the most interesting Bible figures found in the entirety of the Word of God is David David's life when you read the story and the life of David you will read the ups and the downs you will read of the highs that he would experience the victories that he would go through and experience but the Holy Spirit would also add into that his failures his defeats his struggles the written in black and white and when you read of his victories you get you share those victories with him if you will you excited by reading those victories but many times we want to gloss over the failures but there hey they're here for a reason and tonight we're going to look at one of those failures when you talk about failure that's not something that we all want to address but at this time of our text the nation of Israel was experiencing a fruitful transition David had been sitting on the throne for some 10 years at this time of our text her son was ascending for some 40 years they had suffered through Saul and now God's choice is seated on the throne David at this juncture as David was seated on the throne knowing that there was something missing he would begin the preparations to bring the Ark of God back to Jerusalem the Ark of God had gone missing it's taken by the Philistines when you read in 1st Samuel I believe it's the second and third chapters you'll begin to read of the account with the Philistines and the children of Israel with engage in battle Eli who is the high priest of that particular moment was a godly man with the exception of his two sons hophni and Phinehas however you want to pronounce that name that's how I pronounce those names these two men Eli's sons were priests but they cared nothing for the priesthood in which they conducted themselves they could they could completely care less about God they had no it had no intentions of ever really fulfilling and following after God but they used that platform as a position to enrich themselves sounds like some preachers today in it they care nothing for God and Eli should have removed his two sons but he refused to do so and in this battle as they were in high in the heat of the battle against the Philistines someone said let's bring the Ark of God to the battle and hogni Anthony Haase grabbed the Ark of the Covenant the Ark of God and paraded it into the battle only to find that God was not pleased with such and God would allow hophni and Phinehas to be killed in battle but more importantly he allowed the Ark of God to be taken by the Philistines one man would leave the battle and he would make his way back to her Eli was and he would break the news that your sons were killed in battle but also he would break the news that the Ark of God was taken when that happened Eli would fall back and break his neck and he would die some seventy years would pass and the Ark of God was not in the place where it should have been the Ark of God was way in fact Vinay as his wife would give birth to a son and she would call that boy Ichabod for the glory of the Lord has departed and for some 70 years the Ark was not in Jerusalem but it would be found in a field you think about that found in a field disregarded for so many years the Ark was a type of the presence of God and you can back I think I can say this without having any fear of misusing this text for this moment in this purpose but if you were to go in most churches you would not find the presence of God but it's outside somewhere neglected done away with and in a sense hiding in a field and David would find this Ark and he would make the preparations for bringing the Ark of God back to Israel back to the place where God would place his name Jerusalem however in the course of the preparations David would do something that would bring about a serious serious failure and death he would begin to consult with all of his men he would consult with his people about how the Ark of God should be brought back not one time did he ever consult the Lord but he consulted with others and he failed to consult the Word of God and the Lord on how the Ark of the God the Covenant the Ark of God should be transported back to Israel you see God had a way for the art to be moved he had a way that the ark for it to be moved when they would move in the tabernacle and pack up and move somewhere else that there was a specific pattern that was to be follow and how the ark was to be moved it would begin and I'm just going to say this quickly with the KOA fights they would be the ones that would be in charge of the ark and all of the utensils the golden lampstand the table and the altar such they would be the ones that would be in charge of this they would take the ark and they would remove the veil and place the veil which is a type of the holiness of God over the ark then they would take a badger skin a type of the incarnation of Christ and place it over that veil then they would take a blue cloth signifying their health comes from above and they replaced that over the Badger skin they would take those know those rods and put them through those rings and it would be carried on the shoulders of priests who are types of Christ listen to me there were types of Christ everything in the tabernacle pointed to Christ everything in the tabernacle pointed to what Jesus Christ would do at Calvary's cross everything that the tabernacle represented pointed to Jesus Christ and him crucified in order to have the presence of God we've got to go through a great high priest Jesus Christ and David failed to consider that he ignored it he consulted with his generals his men and he came to a decision that I believe would haunt David for a good period of time they decided to borrow an idea from the Philistines to bring the Ark of God back to Jerusalem the Philistines placed the Ark of God on a cart and so David said well we'll make it a new cart we'll make it nice and pretty and we'll put the Ark of God on this cart and bring it back to Jerusalem strike two not only did he fail to consider the Word of God and consult the Word of God and the Lord he borrowed the idea from the very ones who tried to defeat them the Philistines there's too many now listen I'm going to be very hard for just a minute so I hope that you don't get mad at me too much but we've got too many Christians and too many pastors in churches all across this nation and around the world that are completely neglecting the Word of God they're consulting with others they're not consulting the Lord Jesus Christ they're not kneeling down and saying god we've got a head of work from you we've got to hear from heaven they're neglecting the Word of God and there's too many new thoughts in the church today Oh y'all on what I'm going to just just bear with me here there are too many new carts the church is full of carts the church is full of course trying to bring the presence of God back in all the wrong ways trying to live the boring things from Hollywood to bring it into the church the barn things from the Grammys and bringing it into the church the board thinks from the world and bring it into the church they have to know that will never work it's never worked it will never work God has one way get back to the cross get back to the word get back to Jesus Christ and him crucified it's full of new courts everywhere you go is new carpets and new carpet but Larson talked about it some this morning and he was right about it there's too many of that junk on own we've got to have some men and women that will stand up and say get that junk out of the church it doesn't belong it's time that we remove the nuke out of the charts they say and they use the excuse what we've got to reach the Millennials and let me let me help you I'm not a millennial if you really want to be technical I'm Generation X no let me change that I'm gonna get really technical I'm Generation cross oh you didn't get me I'm Generation cross I'm not Generation X Y Z or millennial I'm gonna blood-bought I'm sanctified I'm baptized with the Holy Ghost I know Jesus is living in my heart I'm Generation cross generation cross they say we've got to reach the Millennials let me help you you want to know how to reach the Millennials it's easy get on your knees in your prayer closet and say God give me an anointing to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to whosoever will when you get back to the word it never fails it never fails it never fails get rid of the courts come back to the Bible get rid of the music come back to spirit-filled anointed music [Applause] it gets me angry when I see people in a church with their pants hanging down to hear their boxers are showing I'd call me whatever you want I might be old school in my theology and I'll make no bones about it young men when you come to church pull up your pants God doesn't want to see you underwear pull up your pants it's time for you to come back to decency it's time to you to come back to morality and while I'm at it guys when you come to church take the hat off I don't care if it's sideways backwards or front work take it off show some respect for God we're in God's house not yours we're in God's house [Applause] ladies [Applause] don't come to church with your skirt up to here no one wants to see that either come on now don't come to church with a tank top nobody wants to see that either but it's your child of God act like it dress like it be like it come on church be like it act like it dress like it be respectful in the house of God we got to reach the Millennials you want to reach them get for the Holy Ghost it's not coming back and preaching the word of Almighty God it will touch anybody the young and the old alike that Chuck is an abomination to the house of God it is an abomination to God himself I feel some of you right now I feel some of you because I know you're right now you're going to the computer to write an email I'll give you one further you want to write me you can go on Twitter you can follow me on Twitter I will respond but I'll see it but I feel you right now some of you will that's just my culture when you get saved you change cultures I don't care what color you are when you get saved you enter into the culture of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ god only has one culture that blood-bought saints of God glory to God one culture no matter your race color or creed if you're saved you are blood dot and you have become a part of the culture of God [Applause] I just don't like you I don't care you're still watching though because you know I'm right you know deep down in your heart I'm right because you sense it you feel it [Applause] [Applause] Church the Bible still works the Word of God still works it hasn't changed God hasn't changed he's the same yesterday today Ababa when he did back then he can do right now if you let him David brought the Ark of God on a new Court God was not pleased with that just as God is not pleased pastor with your services when you don't even mention the cross because it might offend somebody just think back in your life it was you are offended at one point but it brought you to your knees to where you accepted Jesus Christ right there was much pageantry that was singing that was dancing and David was watching the procession just as there is a lot of singing and dancing in the church they don't make it right all right and all the sudden and the distance was a threshing floor there's always going to be a threshing floor and that ox that was carrying that cart came upon that threshing floor and that Ark hit that threshing floor and it began to wobble and all of a sudden use' when a David's men fearing the Ark of God might fall he put his hand on the Ark to steady it and when he did he was stricken dead let me help you Church God doesn't need your help he doesn't need my help he doesn't need our help he doesn't need any Church denomination or affiliations help we need his help it's his hand I should be steady in us we don't have we have no business trying to study come on when you mistreat the Holy Spirit and you ignore the message of the cross [Music] what could meant for blessing what could have meant for blessing for you could turn into judgment the idea listen are you listening to me I want you to listen to me once I will say it one more time because I want this to sink in when you ignore the Holy Spirit and ignore the Word of God and you mistreat are ignore the message of the Cross what could be what could be your blessing will turn into a judgment and David well he saw who's a fall dead he backed up knowing just how close he was to death everything stopped the singing stopped the dancing stopped the profession of the processional stopped everything stopped and fear would grip the heart of David fear would rip his heart I believe he knew right then and there he sinned and yet as our text bears out put verse number nine back up on the screen he would ask the question how shall the Ark of God be brought or come to me how shall it come to me he was afraid just like many when they're approached with the presence of God some of them are afraid but the Bible goes on to say it changes the narrative here I begin this narrative with death with horror and sorrow and heartache but I want to switch over the narrative here because David may be looking out and seeing does a house somewhere in the distance the owner is obed-edom and David sends the ark to the home of Oh Betty didn't want to be around it so he sent it away from him now I just have to believe this the Bible does not say this it doesn't go on in any detail its silence regarding this issue but I just happen to believe in my mind's eye that this is how it played out obed-edom was in the distance he saw the processional him being a Levite he saw everything that was going on and maybe in his heart saying oh no that's not how its to be done that's not how its to be handled the Ark of God should not be handled that way he saw the whole thing stop but then all of a sudden he saw men heading up to him he approaches them and they say the king is requesting that we leave the ark in your house David Dunn won't it Obed said I'll take it maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe little junior was out playing and he turn rise that boy tell your mama the Ark is coming home with us oh my lord you didn't get that Junior tell your mama the ark is coming home with us tell her to prepare the best room the ark is coming home with us charity get the room ready the ark is coming home with us let me stop here for a moment do you remember when the Ark of God came to you oh ma do you remember when the Ark of God came into your house do you remember when the Ark of God showed up in your home do you remember the deal when the Ark of God showed up in your life you may have been lost where you are lost you may have been hi you may have been drunk you may have been whatever but all of a sudden the Ark of God showed up Jesus showed up and intervene on your behalf and change your world I don't remember I wasn't a lot of of course when the Ark of God came to a little town called fair to Louisiana you see my family members he'll tell you I'm just her hearing this I don't know these people because they've all long since been gone but he'll tell you our family lineage they're not exactly a holy they're either moonshiners of bootleggers our law breakers it's the truth but God would see that and he would see that there's a family in Ferriday Louisiana that's open to the gospel of Jesus Christ and never even see in a Bible or here in the gospel song God would send two ladies from Alabama down here to Ferriday Louisiana where God would say build a church in this town we don't know anybody we don't know anybody here 30 he said it don't matter I'll just just build the church I'll bring them in and one by one the swagger clan sort of coming into the Ark swagger class ought to come an end a narc they started coming in they went from bootleggers and moonshiners to preachers of the gospel but that our didn't stay there because down through the generations that art would continue to bring in the swagger family because it then happen to my grandparents they are the God God brought my grandparents in at a young age brought him in called him to preach and God would see to it that he put two people together and watch the hacci Texas who just happened to be my parents and brought them into the Klan but it is not there at the age of five God brought me into the plan as well and he gave me a Holy Ghost field [Applause] I'm gonna say it again God gave me a Holy Ghost filled bring her into the clan and now my children are all saved up one of them baptized with the Holy Ghost don't tell me that God still doesn't perform miracles God brought us all in and you remember where you were when you got saved when the Ark of God came to your house you see back then the ark can only come it can only be in one place at one time now it's everywhere it's everywhere it's everywhere as long as there's a hungry heart is there as long as the searching soul is fair I gotta hurry I got five minutes and I'm done maybe I better not remove my jacket I might have somebody emailing Saint bless God you removed your jacket I can't watch you anymore forget it I am turn the channel if you want to it won't bother me but you'll just turn it right back because you know the spirit of God's here jacket or not the spirit of God's here and old bed Edom knew how to handle the ark he brought it into the best rooms he placed the veil over it doesn't say it but I believe he did he put a badge of skin over it doesn't say it but I believe he did he put a blue cloth over it didn't say it but I believe it did because the next sentence that I want to say indicates that something good take took place because the Bible says and God for three solid much bless the house of obed-edom ah oh my lord I'm gonna get mad at a nitty-gritty church he said it last night I was hoping and praying as like don't go any further you're taking half my message but I realized his name's on the building so I just have to take it from him so I'll steal it from him in a good way not a Fivefinger discount so don't give me Justin to God borrow it you're a child of God you don't belong to Satan you belong to God you're an heir the father you had joint out with Jesus Christ he won't select you he wants to touch you he wants to bless you oh my lord my lord I know some of you say I don't know if he wants to bless me if you're saved you're blessed he won't suppress you even more he wants to bless you I wish I had somebody was shout here tonight he said prove me watch me as I open up the winners of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you don't have room to receive it all quit moping quit moping and say I'll see God bless so-and-so I see god bless so-and-so square your shoulders stand up straight they say devil not blessings coming through - my blessings coming through my blessings coming through say it my healing is coming through you may be sick with cancer but your healing is coming through your deliverance it's coming through I'm gonna get to where some of y'all you know argue with this but your finances God's about ready to send a breakthrough your way he's about ready to send a breakthrough start claiming it God my breakfast come Anna not breakthroughs coming my family's coming my niece's are coming but net user come in my God wants to bless his children God has blessed this house naturally he's blessed this house but as we look to what he's going to do don't forget what he's already done don't neglect the blessings he's given you already because that's just a sign from heaven that's saying there's a bigger one coming there's a bigger one coming there's a bigger one coming not blessing is coming through oh my lord hey Dave ponds can you stop that Clark please just press the pause button for a moment somebody called the atomic clock company and bring it back about five minutes because I want to show you something Pat Paul talked about it last night he gave you four the five you missed one so I'm going to add that last one in but he talked about how that you can receive a blessing from God well he'll like I said how hard he had it planned to do this so he beat me to the punch but I believe that God had him to miss one so I can just fill in the blank here with the last one but I'll just start it all over again you want a blessing first of all here's how to do it put your faith in Christ and him crucified get it off yourself quick find the connivance scheme your way to a blessing son looking to Jesus Deuteronomy 28 says this he says this now like I said he gave you four he missed the fifth I'm going to give it to you he says this if you can keep my Commandments if you can keep my statutes we can't there's no way we can but thank God he sent his son to keep it for us I can't he did and when I placed my faith in him he took me from low and rule-breaker to low and rule keeper he says put it up on the screen the Bible says if you can keep my statutes and my Commandments the very first thing he said he said these blessings will chase you down but they just won't chase you down they will overtake you that means no matter how fast you can run those blessings will be faster those blessings will chase you down and take you over he said I'll bless you in the city I'll bless you in the field I'll bless you when you get up and I'll bless you when you lay down he says this the Lord shall come and he didn't sit there and say maybe in my book that command is a guarantee that's a guarantee my blessings come Anna my blessings come in my Bible said it not blessings coming they're going to chase me down and he's going to overtake me he'll command the blessings on you then what did he say very the third one he will make you plenty full and come on church be Pentecostal plentiful and what come on that was weak because I think some of you haven't quite received that yet he said he'll make you prettiest and what that's still not got about three of you in here the rest of you is still not quite converted yet Church if you believe this you got us declare it as I say it earlier if you believe it receive it testify he'll make you plead this in what good whatever you need he's able to provide number four he said he'll open up open up not close it but open up his good treasure honey he here if you need a blessing he owns the cattle on a Thousand Hills he always a gold and a silver underneath the hill he's he owes the money he owes the gas he owes all he owns everything he'll open it up to you God gave us a promise he said for a while I've only held that door open about ten percent but he said I'm about to open it wide those windows of heaven open it those blessings are coming through not blessing is coming through but this is the one that he missed he got all the way to this point and missed it but it's my favorite because I think all of us can relate to this too many of you feel like you're the tail but God says this he said if you trust me if you put your faith in Christ and one ain't what he did at Calvary he shall make it a head and not the tail I'll make it a head and not the tail he said blessing god bless the house of obed-edom start declaring it right now God's blessing my house Scott's blessing my house god bless in my house here and he's breath in my physical house I'm telling you whatever you ask and for I believe it God's going to come through because these are blessing God God's blessing is coming through my healings coming through my deliverance is coming through not breakthroughs coming through the Bible says thank God bless the house and God wants to bless your house too this is not just faux bed Edom this is for you too but you have a part to play in this you start declaring it so I believe in it God's given your promises there haven't you ever seen them yet but guess what they're coming just hold on there comment not blessings coming through my blessings coming through not blessing it's coming through and he wants to do the same for you I'm done I'm done singers desicions come on back I want to say one more time as we're looking ahead to what God has promised us don't forget what he's given you as you look ahead to what God has told you he's going to do don't neglect what he's given you because it's just a sign that greater things are here to come greater things are right in store for you the last thing God has blessed as I said this house physically why because when the ark came we accepted it when the ark came our way we accepted it wholeheartedly and readily it's the same for you when you accept it God blessed you he brought you into the family when you didn't deserve it but it doesn't just stop at Salvation God wants to give you so much more he wants to give you so much more but you have to look and I know some people say well you're just teaching word of faith yes I am the message of the cross is the real word of faith my faith is in what Christ accomplished not in name and acclaim and blabbered and Gravatt but I know that my God shall supply all of my needs according to his riches and glory stand your feet now stand your feet God wants to bless you he wants to bless your house he wants to bless your person he wants to bless your family whatever they feel led to sing right now if you got a need here tonight and you say I need I'm looking for my blessing I'm looking for my miracle I haven't seen it yet but Lord I've been I've been lacking in my faith I haven't been looking to you but now I'm changing it back I'm placing my faith back in Christ and him crucified that's the key your faith must be anchored in Christ and what he did at Calvary whatever they feel led to sing right now come around this front right now this evening if you need a blessing from God come around this this is coming for [Music] mercy love blessed name lessons coming [Music]
