by God and you don't want to miss it and it's at 6 o'clock I said 6:30 so if you come you're gonna be thirty minutes late at 6:30 but y'all do that anyhow so that's what you heard so no Genesis Genesis chapter 49 is where I'm going don't miss this afternoon it's going to be powerful neon festival Genesis chapter 49 and I want to begin reading with verse 22 Jacob is dying he's the old man he's he has ten sons and two grandsons and in verse 22 after he goes through every if all this chapter is is a dying man blessing his children on his deathbed before he leaves he puts a prophetic blessing over each of those children there must be something to the blessing of the parents I guess if I were Satan I'd do everything I could to sever the connection if you have godly parents in your life because there is a blessing that can be imparted a generational heritage and inheritance spiritually you know that's true say man I know it's been true in my life and and really you know what my parents and sharise's parents gave and then even beyond that it is transferred in this scripture especially this whole chapter is very very very very powerful and these prophecies all what is strange I don't have I should do a teaching on it sometime they all came to pass in remarkable ways and I'm gonna show you now in Genesis 20 49 and verse 22 Joseph he gets to his son Joseph you will be a fruitful bough a fruitful bough by a whale whose branches word that were bow as garden you'll be like a garden by a whale whose branches run over the wall the archers have bitterly grieved him shot at him hated him hated on him we would say but his bow remained in strength verse 25 by the God of your father and I could keep reading all of these verses that I just skipped her blessings the father's putting on his son as he's dying the father's an old man he's dying and he's putting imparting spiritual blessings to his boy Joseph by the God of your father who will help you by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above blessings of deep that lies beneath blessings of the breasts and of the wound are the words of children the blessings the blessings he said of your father have accept they have excelled the blessings of my ancestors up to the utmost listen to this they shall be the head on the head of Joseph and the crown of the head of him who separate who was separated from his brother's little reference there as to what he went through how he was separated from his brothers went down into Egypt was given a raw deal but he notices notice that he says something he says Joseph because you didn't get bitter because you found a whale and you will receive a double portion because he decided to bless others he didn't hoard the blessing to himself he abundantly gave of what he had to others who did he give to he gave to his brothers he gave to Egyptians he gave to Pharaoh he gave to those even Potiphar's wife and husband who had falsely accused him he gave them life he ultimately had he not done what he did they would have died because there was a famine and all of those people would have died and now the father is saying because you extended the blessing listen to these words and put it back up he said because you extended and reached beyond the walls so important to see that you reached beyond the walls beyond the walls of confinement beyond the walls of where you are you you had something in you and he said because she went beyond the walls God will bless you double on the home front Jacob because you were willing to not just find the whale and receive from the whale and become a blessed place in a blessed person and you could have just soaked in all of those blessings when you became in that powerful position that you came in but because you saw people who were beyond the walls of your blessing you saw people who couldn't offer you anything really they didn't deserve your help but you reached a branch out beyond the walls God said I saw it and now through his father he says you will have two tribes now a lot of people don't know this but when we talk about the 12 tribes of Israel just lean in and learn something about the Bible you're supposed to learn something about the Bible not just be entertained by a preacher and and and there see Jacob only had ten sons and yet there's twelve tribes of Israel have you ever had wondered where did the other two come from he only had ten boys he only had ten but what happened was in this verse Jacob the old man said I'm adopting your two sons I know they're my grandsons but I'm giving them the share of a son because of what you went through and because you went beyond these walls and you began to bless the very people that you should have put walls up against you went beyond these walls he said I'm going to bless and I'm gonna add not ten tribes but I'm gonna have 12 tribes and two of those tribes will be your two boys Joseph Manasseh and Ephraim and there's 12 tribes of Israel and will and will always be and own the walls of the foundations of the 12 foundations of New Jerusalem the names of those 12 are on there along with the 12 disciples and two of those names will be by NASA and Ephraim forever why because Joseph you found a whale we know that whale was Jesus Christ we know that whale represents the living water we know that whale represents acts 2:38 where he said for this promise is unto you and unto your children to them that are afar off repent be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit he found a well that watered his soul watered his life but he didn't hoard it he didn't keep it to himself he put branches that ran over the wall the Bible said God saw it spiritually and he said because you've done that there's a greater blessing coming on you than the other boys and if you read about the other boys they usually got one verse of blessing Judah was the runner-up Judah means praise which ought to tell you something if you sitting there quiet you're missing blessings because he got two and a half versus a blessing but Joseph got five versus a blessing and he tells why because she went beyond the walls because you decided to go for it you found a whale but you didn't keep it inside the walls instead of keeping the water the whale inside come on folks I'm preaching about what happened to you when you found the whale name Jesus Christ did he really make a change in your life did you really find living water and yet so often we come to church and this is about all we get out of Jesus and when we go beyond these walls he has no place in our life he has no place in our home life in our family life in our routine of life but he said because I saw you taking living water with you beyond the walls of a church building beyond the walls of an hour at free chapel but it began to flow out to hurting people to Egyptians to those who are lost to those who don't know Christ because you had a heart that said I can't keep it to myself I found life and I see them in their loss and they're broken and they're going to hell if somebody doesn't reach them if this book is true they're going into eternity without God but I found someone who would not just drink from the whale and be content inside the walls but they would send Branch a vine over the wall into those hurting dry lives he ran branches beyond the walls and God said because you did that I'm going to bless you double you'll have two tribes none of the other boys their sons was the tribe but you get to in your family Joseph because you went beyond the walls not many whales but one whale there are not many ways to heaven there's only one way to heaven there are not many names and gods that we pray - there's only one name and one God and his name is Jesus would you give him praise if you believe that and because you were willing to stretch for the outreach because you were willing to not just be blessed in here on Sunday morning with living water but something got a hold of your heart a compassion for the loss a compassion outside the walls there's somebody who's whose who's an alcoholic who who's waking up in their own vomit this morning just outside these walls there's a young girl a teenager who's gotten pregnant out of wedlock and she's thinking about aborting that baby just outside these walls maybe within a mile or so from this very campus or the campuses where you're watching this there's somebody who's suicidal there's somebody who's on drugs and they can't get any hope and they're thinking about just taking all they can and end it at all and we have living water but somebody's got to send a vine beyond these walls beyond these walls they're crying they're dying and he said if you do it I'll bless you on the home front double I think that we need to understand that that he'll bless us double portion the more we reach the more we stretch the more we say we cannot just be blessed here on Sunday morning in acts 19 and 10 it said that they reached all of Asia with the word in the space of two years what in the world how do you reach a whole nation in a whole continent they reach all of Asia within the space of two of two years they didn't have airplanes they didn't have TVs they didn't have cameras they didn't have great ministries with big out reaches what did it fired up Christians who found the whale and said we're going beyond these walls we cannot just come to church and hear another sermon and hear another sermon and hear another sermon and then leave here beyond these walls and it never changed us it never really an inspirational preacher and I don't want to just be you know there's there's inspiration there's information I wanted you don't want to first start it I guess I was wanting to be an inspirational evangelist and then as I got deeper you know a little bit older I wanted to be an informational preacher you know I want to have a lot of content and and I want to be informational and inspirational but really now at this point in my life beyond any of that I want to be transformational I want God to come and not just get up here and preach another sermon and say a bunch of words but o God transform somebody's life today send a vine of living water into somebody's house somebody's marriage the shrine up on the brink of dying Oh God somehow someway we've got living water and if we don't have it we ought to get it this morning I found a whale but I can't keep it to myself beyond these walls they're dying and God says when you reach when you pray for somebody else when you love somebody else when you minister to somebody else when you send a branch beyond these walls on your job in the office in the school on the campus there's people all around you you've grown up in it you've got the whale you've been in this all of your life but the joy ladies and gentlemen is not just coming to church but it's when you get so full of living water that that said they took note of them that they had been with Jesus if people can just come to this church and sit under this ministry and just hear singing and sermons and it changed nothing I think of that of that dream that that Pharaoh had that Joseph interpreted and he saw seven skinny cows and seven fat cows and the seven skinny cows swallowed the seven fat cows but there's a strange part of that verse it said but the skinny cows did not show it they did not manifest it it says after they had eaten him up no one would have known that they had eaten them and I can't help but wonder to people do you guys come to church and you just hear another sermon and hear another sermon but no one would ever know they never hear you talk about Jesus they never hear you witness does anybody in your family know does it anything ever change in your life or do you just come to church and take it in inside these walls but when you walk out of here you turn the same music on go back to the same attitude the same spirit the same unforgiveness the same lusts the same pride come on church we're not supposed to be that just in here we're supposed to have a life out there if something's wrong when we're taking it in but we look the same we act the same god help us god help us run your branches beyond these walls everybody say reach reach when's the last time you witnessed when's the last time you said to somebody I want to pray for you when's the last time you were so full of Jesus that you heard somebody going through hell on the job or in your family and you were bold enough you were bold enough to not just be a Christian in here this morning but you were bold enough to have a vine outside these unashamed unashamed on a shame to say yes I am a Christian and I'm not ashamed on the college campus I'm not ashamed on the job I'm not ashamed around anybody and everybody famous people are people who have nothing they need Jesus and they need somebody to be a vine beyond these walls clap your hands and give God praise get so full of Jesus get consumed with reaching reaching see you know what's wrong with the church I'm gonna tell you if we're careful in the body of Christ the church will become more ingrown than outgrown and when we become ingrown we become like an ingrown toenail you just become sore and touchy and AG fighting yeah yeah yeah your ingrown you're like an ingrown toenail we can toe toenail you're sore all the time you ever met Christians like that they're just ticked off and sore all the time you want to know what's wrong with you you want to know what's wrong with me when I get like that I'm in drone but the moment that you begin to do go back to the mission go into all the world and preach the gospel the minute you go back to purpose the minute you go back to destiny and you get your attention off yourself and you get your attention quit having a pity party and feeling sorry for yourself and just some way you know what I must be going through what I'm going through for a reason so let me just take a vine and go out here to other hurting people if you've gone through a divorce then take that vine and don't let them into depression drive you into hopelessness but foe it over the wall and say well let me go find somebody else who's going through it and I'm gonna tell them Jesus is the end let me find somebody else who needs help let me find somebody else going in through chemo and let me throw my vine that wall and minister to them because I've got living water that'll get me through it they need it too I don't want us to be a bunch of ingrown toenails who are sore about everything more injury worse streets of gold than Earth's alleyways all about territorial preservation my position and my ministry in my place we've got to get back to reaching beyond these walls his last words go into all the world go go go reach stretch he never saved you to sit here and just treat from the whale the rest of your life and hear sermons and be entertained by a preacher he saved you so that at some point after you have grown and there's prosperity and blessing and goodness and freedom and joy you don't have to be perfect but if you're drinking from believing well you've got something to offer men and women who don't even know the name who don't even know the old gospel story who may know it but they never experienced it if they can taste one sip of living water out there they'll come running in here that's why I love so much baptisms like we did here last Wednesday night and I thought about as I baptized people who I'll ask them sometimes you know where how'd you end up here and more and more we here I was in prison and then I'll say it like this but a vine some vines in free chapel you know a prison ministry they reach about a thousand prisoners a year with 1000 plus salvations 1,000 plus salvations in the prisons but there were some bands that they just kept sipping and sipping and sipping and finally they said I can't keep this to myself I can't keep this to myself I'll go into the prisons with a with a DVD and I'll sit there and I'll love on these guys and they sit there in their jumpsuits and they listen by the hundreds they listen small groups but they go into so many they reach hundreds and hundreds of them and I baptize them in water do you know why because somebody somebody said I'll go beyond the walls I thought about my mother and the ministries that she does into the rest homes and they wheel them in in the wheelchairs and those old older feeble precious senior citizens many times crippled many times just just months or a year or so away from going into eternity and every weekend in 30-something rest homes it's crazy not 30 something a month they go in and they preach the gospel what are they doing they're reaching beyond these walls and those feeble people can't come here but we'll go with living water and tell them there's a there's a land of no pain no sorrow no tears no Undertaker's and you're headed for it if you'll drink from this whale named Jesus and it goes on and it goes on and it goes home his last word ought to be our first priority go all the lost people on your job all the lost people throw a branch over the walls touch and reach somebody else and God said if you'll do that I'll bless your homefront double portion I'll bless your business I'll bless your family I'll bless your children I don't care if you're seeing it right now or not just keep doing what God told you to do and the blessing will come double portion everybody shout double portion everybody shout give me the Joseph blessing on my house double portion as I reach beyond these walls do you want your business blessed businessman do you want to see businesswoman do you want to see God really explode that business then use that business it is your ministry it is your ministry and just like I don't approach this pulpit without fasting without praying without carrying a burden for days I can't shake it I can't sleep on Saturday nights it's just what I do you shouldn't approach your job there's people under the sound of my voice and the only reason free Chapel keeps reaching beyond these walls is because of their incredible faithful giving it astounds me it would shock you to know how people take seriously the ministry of giving in this church how it would it would astonish some of you who give nothing some of you who give sporadically and and just when you feel like it there are others who killed I mean methodically it's own purpose they come to church to give why because it is their ministry it would shock you how much they give consistently why because they get it I can't preach but I can send a vine beyond the wall and why did we open another church in Atlanta why are you going to Midtown and the other week when I got out of the car they were they had a rap concert going on the bit in the little room right next to us and two of the guys were out there smoking weed right there and I get out and and I had to walk through the cloud I'm just telling you the truth and I took a little breath and praise the Lord s keep going pretty good dude but but you know when you you got to go into all the world and you might you might get in the middle of a cloud but it's alright if the Jesus in you is bigger than the devil and live you can reach them with living water you can reach them with the message of the cross you can meet you reach them with the blood of Jesus Christ reach them stretch reach I'll go down there tonight and they'll be there by the hundreds what are we doing we're reaching reaching we're reaching beyond these walls and God says when you do that I'll just put a double portion on this place I'll just I'll just fill it up again you're blessed when you're willing to share with others Joseph beyond these walls you'll never lose by giving you'll never lose by giving hallelujah you know sometimes when you begin to stretch and reach beyond the walls and actually go after the Egyptians Joseph was a Jew why are you going down there and blessing those old Egyptians why don't you stay inside the wall why are you associating with those people notice noticing that in that verse that I read the text it said because she went beyond the walls the very next verse said and the archers shot their bows and arrows at you in other words when you start reaching get ready for the get ready for the church junkies get ready for the self-righteous bunch get ready for those nerdy Christians who only talk in Christianese who can't relate to nobody lost don't know anybody lost and don't want to know anybody lost they're just content to keep drinking from the whale and it's a bless me club bless me generation so when you begin to reach beyond the walls get ready for the arrows to fly on the attacks to come my daughter Connor sitting down here she's a model she's beautiful she takes after me really she got her mother's genes but but but she I mean he's not a play model I mean she she does amazing in Los Angeles with one of the biggest firms and she's busy she's and she's full-time student and she she does she does amazing things we don't talk about it but she said one of the greatest Christians that I know she loves Jesus supremely reads her Bible goes to church all of her friends are about Jesus except where she works I said that's a Hollywood industry there's people out there that they don't know nothing about Church and she's she's God's just put favor on her and she's getting in with people she's not she's being who she is and she's ministering she's found the whale and she's throwing the branch over the wall and she's become good friends with Selena Gomez and and she's friends with other people I don't want to start naming naming name and I could though and the point is we don't talk about it but man she was with some of her friends and I just I was so proud of her I put something up on Instagram about it and I got a trip soon filled me she got real cold called uh WH ort all kinds of things and all she's doing is reaching beyond these walls reaching behind me one of my favorite one of my favorite trips that I've ever gone on as a vacation besides being with my family was many many years ago and went on a hunting trip in Canada with one of the board members Don Bryant his son and and another guy in the church Phil Kinsey and we just had the biggest time but we took they took two of their friends and I don't there's no other way to say it they were pure heathens amen good guys though I love these men and it was the one of the most wonderful trips I've ever been on in here swine when people fight I don't have any Christian I don't have any friends except Christians it hit me because of what I do I you ain't gonna see me in the club you ain't gonna sing hey I don't I don't know anybody hardly I don't mean anybody hardly in my world that's not in church and part of so when I went on this hunting trip I'll never forget it I love these guys when I'm tonight the daddy was named little Jack me hat are big Jack no and he had a son named little Jack that was the real names big big Jack little Jack and they were redneck Georgia redneck guys and they don't go to church and they and and they they were very respectful stuff but man that blankety-blank but you ever seen people that are good at cussing I'm talking that good at custody it ain't got a you know Christian will try to curse and try don't sound right but but but but if you got if you don't class you need to learn how to do it good I'm just saying in these guys were just it was like breathing to them blankety-blank blankety-blank my old sorry preacher sorry preacher sorry preacher and then we'd have meals we with them a whole week I'm telling you I'm out in the trees with them and I'm out and we're hunting bear and and and they won on the hits blankety blank blank blank blank blank blank and and it felt so good to be around a heathen I love those guys and I kept up with him and I'd call him every once in a while and a one Sunday a few months later big Jack came to my office Susan Paige was my secretary there and she said pastor somebody's here to see you and I don't know he is but he's here and who is a big jack tell pic jack to come on he got away come on big jack he came in and he said I'm sick and I need prayer my boys in trouble pray for me he got on his knees he asked Jesus come on yes Jesus beyond these walls just wear ministry some of you are getting lukewarm because you're not reaching if you could ever if you could ever get beyond these walls that's where life is that's where they're so hungry for what we've got be careful how you criticize people who go beyond these walls we need to get beyond the denominational walls I'm almost done but listen we need to get beyond the walls of denominationalism Baptists or Methodists or Pentecostal we don't have the luxury of disunity anymore we need to come together all of us Body of Christ all of us and you may not like my style I may not prefer your style but if we're preaching Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the only life then we need to link up arm-in-arm and thus win this world because jesus is coming soon the trumpet is going to sound and those who are not ready are going to be left I'm gonna be left there joseph´s all over this building and God is saying I'll bless your dream double if you'll make a commitment beyond these walls the only reason the Sun rose this morning is because the church is facing an unfinished task it's all about the lost the perishing they're headed for a famine God forgive us if we have living water and some of us used to have it but we need to get refilled this morning you forgotten what you've got you've let the cares of this life choked out the living water keep reaching keep dreaming the archers will shoot but God said I'll give you double let me close with this but I don't want this church to ever be the old school Christian spirit the old school Christian that says you're lucky that I just come to church if that's your attitude you're an old school Christian and you're gonna miss the joy of reward in eternity I I want to close this message this way Joseph's not only had two sons that received the double portion as they come to the music but I read it again last night five generations later there is a guy by the name of nebith who had the world would call it a green thumb he was not blessed because he had a green thumb the Bible said they both had a vineyard that was exceedingly prosperous and it just so happened it was right beside King Ahab summer palace and King Ahab the king of all Israel would come to his summer palace and he would look at his yard and he had all kinds of maintenance crews out there supposed to keep his Gardens up and his Mena's and his and his place beautiful and he would look over at his neighbor knave off and Navis vineyard was so blessed so mighty so prosperous that he looked in envy from his summer palace at night off and he thought what a green thumb that guy has he didn't have a green thumb he was five generations down from Joseph Joseph was his great great great great grandfather and that blessing of because you've reached beyond these walls with living water it will always bring double portion on the home front and five generations later after Joseph is dead here's a guy named Namath when the king came and said sell me your vineyard he said I listen to his answer cannot sale my inheritance I have a spiritual inheritance that was passed to Manasseh and Ephraim and from them to their children and to their children and their children and five generations later I'm telling you sir my spiritual inheritance is not for sale I don't care how much gold and you offered me this is my inheritance I pray to God that we're living in such a way that we are going beyond the walls and in as a result the blessing is coming on our children and our children's children and God says I'll take care of them if you'll keep stretching beyond these walls I won't I want more than another service this morning I want when you leave these walls for the presence of Jesus the Holy Spirit the the well of living water to go with you like a vine beyond these walls into the same marriage into the same family into the same job into the same situations that you're dealing with but you don't keep your faith in God and your praise and your devotions in here this is about all you get do you read the Bible beyond these walls do you ever spend time in prayer do you ever weep and worship beyond these walls do you have any devotion time or is this it is this it you found the whale you know you're going to heaven and that's it maybe Jesus really wants to come to your house and get beyond these walls you feel relieved when you sit in here you feel relieved when you hear a preacher preaching their feet there's hope their faith but God says I will a vine to go beyond these walls I want to see you in prayer and devotion this week I want to see you crack open that Bible I want to see you seek my face I want to see you listening to some worship I want to see you coming after me beyond these words everybody stand to your feet at every campus if you would just stand to your feet would you lift your hands high like like like like vines like branches in would you just spiritually just say Lord first of all I'm reconnecting to the whale right now I need to be filled up if I'm gonna reach beyond these walls to fill me up with living water right now just go after God for a moment just go after God for a moment just take a moment and lift your hands and say God God fill me with living water come on come on enter in behind the veil for a moment Lord I need more than another church service I need more than a sermon that I swallow but it doesn't change me it doesn't transform me it inspires me it informs me but it doesn't transform me I would love today to be so full of the water that when I leave here they take note that I've been with Jesus I need more of Jesus I'm ask you something how many of you in this room would be willing to say by a physical response I'm gonna walk down that aisle and I'm gonna give myself completely all over again you may be a pastor you may be a businessman you may be a husband you may be somebody who's been in the church like me for years and years but you would love to begin to get a burden beyond these walls for your job for people in your family for people that you that you know are lost maybe you are the only vine that God has that he could connect them to living water with would you be willing to present yourself on a Sunday morning when everything in political correct says get in and get out and don't let the Holy Spirit do anything in you but would you be willing to break the routine and come and say Holy Spirit fill me with living water so I can have a vine beyond these walls that brings life to dying people if you're willing to do that get out of your seat younger old teenagers college students moms dads businesspeople get out of your seat and get down here as close as you can get and throw your hands and begin to cry out the

everybody said you prayed that prayer for the first time just i'ma let you go in 30 seconds but freeze you prayed that prayer go by the connections lounge we've got a free Bible and get signed up for something called next steps it is a amazing little thing that you'll go through that will absolutely be transformational in your life lastly it forward conference which is one of the vines of this ministry and if you're not supporting it and behind it and involved with it you sure ought to be in one way or the other one of the most vital things that we do with forward is we handpick and find kids that you know it's one thing and I wish we didn't have to pay I wish we didn't have to charge anything but it cost I mean it's ridiculous weigh costs to rent that place and all of that but bottom line is this you can sponsor a kid some families some single mothers that we have in the church they can afford one of their children but some of them have two and three children that could go it's wonderful when we can find those people that attend our church and then we go beyond these walls by the way and we find other kids out in the community that are in some way or another we've got a vine over there in some place and we will pay their way and you can be a sponsor other young people getting in a young person getting in an atmosphere that will absolutely introduce them to live in water like they've never had before might save their life it might literally save their life and we will never know do we get to heaven so if you can sponsor here's my point it'll never be cheaper there's a price change that kicks in and it'll never be cheaper than it is today up to midnight so go by and pick up sponsorship some of you businesspeople could send ten or fifteen this is the most generous Church I'm no longer anywhere in things like this now know that you'll do it but it's filling up fast too and we've just got a few thousand seats left and that we're actually ahead of where we were this time last year way and we're believing God for great things god bless you you're wonderful we love you may the Lord bless you and keep you make his face shine on you and be gracious unto you lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace six o'clock tonight man this is where it's at don't miss it I'll be in Atlanta and I'll be preaching at midtown tonight down there in the glory cloud come on god bless you have a great week we'll see you Wednesday night you'll have a great time around here it's going to be a blessed week go in the name of the Lord if you're visiting I'd love to say hello I'll be down here in the altar area come up and say hi thank you for being with us [Music] and as we leave here today I want to encourage you and remind you once again forward conferences coming up in just a few short weeks so if you've not already purchased your ticket I encourage you to do that but not only that maybe you have the opportunity to sponsor a student as you heard pastor talking about just a few short minutes ago this is an amazing opportunity to honestly reach people that would never hear the gospel of Jesus Christ so we go to for word conference orj register today register for another student as well and again if you aren't available to join us here at our Gainesville campus for neon festival 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. right here at our Gainesville campus special guest speaker
