we're going to give us unto the Lord amen [Music] yes we do my [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we're so glad to see Shante home amen good to see you and we're glad to have mama Kersey here tonight hi mommy good to have you in service praise the Lord well we're going to go very quickly to the Word of God Luke chapter 2 the second chapter of Luke and we glad to see principal Charles family whole family here and Isaiah home good to see you amen praise the Lord Saint Luke chapter 2 verses 36 through 38 amen I'm reading from the King James Version you can check the screens and if you do not have your Bible that's the Gospel according to st. Luke chapter 2 beginning at verse 36 and ending at verse 38 he begins reading of God's Word and there was one Anna a prophetess the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher she was of a great age and had live with an husband seven years from her virginity and she was a winner of about four score and four years which departed not from the temple but served God with fastings and prayers night and day and she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem so far the reading and hearing of God's Word you maybe see that man what's age got to do with it I'm trying to keep up with you see estimated 77 point 3 million baby boomers who uh count for 25% of the population this is from April 24th 2017 report people 90 and over now make up 4.7 percent of all people and it is said that the baby boomers are defined as people born between 1946 1964 in the post-world War two ERA and these baby boomers they make up significantly a large amount of the population even though the Millennials seem to be ahead but the majority of the baby boomers support their adult children and most of them are not retiring they're working past 65 they forty-five percent of them consider themselves to be entrepreneurs and baby boomers control more than two-thirds of a disposable income in the United States they are a meaningful part of our population and Luke's seemed to have tapped into certain segments of the population in relationship to the Christian story that others did not like the Shepherd's of course he also mentioned the wise man he mentioned simian he seemed to went across in terms of age and gender Luke is like that he sees he represents Jesus as a son of man he wanted you to see Jesus touching humanity on all levels so he'll talk to you about children and Jesus Jesus and women Jesus in the sink Jesus and the leper Jesus and the demoniac because he quoted from Isaiah and the Spirit of the Lord is upon me and has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor and it's not just financially he's talking about poor in terms of bereft of the true spirit of God to open the eyes of the blind to open the prison doors and to set the captives free so throughout Luke being a doctor being sensitive to human needs he picked up on Jesus's compassion for Humanity so you see that also in his recording of the story or the birth of Jesus the first thing I want to talk about is the woman he said there was one Hannah a prophetess her name means favor or grace a family connection was the daughter of Phanuel and she was identical that name is identical with Peniel remember that name where Jacob wrestled with God so it means a face or appearance of God the name of her husband is not given but this woman waited for something she father was from the tribe of Asher which was called the Lost Tribe she was a prophetess and not too many women in the New Testament were called prophetess we know Philips four daughters also prophesied but she was known as a prophetess it may be that her husband also a profit but it also said that she had divine inspiration that she was able to do a couple of things that would let you know she's a prophetess she proclaimed and she worshiped you know the Prophet had to go to music school and they profit at to know music because music was a part of their worship and when they worship their spirit became tender reverent pact to hear what thus saith the Lord so these dry prophets that y'all listening to you know you're in trouble but anyway Anna Anna was very special she was a prophetess but the Bible said she was a great age what does that mean she was married for only seven years she got married very young but she remained a widow for eighty-four years so now the woman is almost in her hundreds okay that means that she must have been over a hundred years old when she beheld Jesus now she had grown old she had grown old in the service of the sanctuary I know this is not gonna be cute in here tonight I know you know cuz you all can't even stand to pick a piece of paper she had grown old in the service of the Sante where now I want you to understand she got married and she lived with her husband for seven years and then she didn't get married again now we're not saying that's law neither we're saying that that's the will of God we're just saying that this particular woman did not lose her mind after that she shifted her attention and she served the sanctuary and serve in the sanctuary literally means she was there to minister to pray she had influence they knew when they came to the temple Anna was there praying so she took prayer request to the Lord she was an intercessor she lived on the premises she was taken care of by the temple they took care of her because she was legitimately a temple widow Paul exhorted young Timothy to honor widows who are widows indeed and Anna was worthy of being honored she was a widow indeed she trusted the Lord she was not depressed she was not pining she didn't walk around and look as if she was she needed to be rescued whenever she had for seven years it was good enough though it was good it was good and complete yes she trusted the Lord she was cared for and she was a motherless wife didn't have any children and God took her in and gave her this place so we know the woman we know where she came from her legacy we know where she is now and point to she had an assignment you mean to tell me you can have an assignment even though your husband dies you mean to tell me you can have an assignment even though you're a widow and you you mean to tell me that you don't have to be depressed and morose that this woman found her place in the scheme of things with all that she went through a young woman losing her husband never having a child and yet she had an assignment but I said when death ravaged her home left her motherless and a widow she devoted her attendants night and day to the service of the temple now I'm not suggesting please hear me you sweet you're streaming right now hear me mmm yummy I'm not suggesting that because your husband died that you shouldn't want another man that's not what I'm saying because some of you went right there in your head then I'm suggesting that you should be either by yourself or the risk I don't want you have a nervous breakdown so you can be by yourself for the rest of your life I'm just showing you that God his wisdom tempered this woman shows her and she didn't have the problem she served God with fasting and prayer night and day it was an extra Oh that's two extra obviously God doesn't consider that extra oh come on here because she's young and she's fasting and praying night and day you think she's missing out on something that's your problem it wasn't Hannah's problem night and day she was satisfied night and day Apollonia she found joy in the presence of the Lord and didn't think she was missing out on anything night and day she was interceding and she was interceding with expectation it wasn't just praying and fasting because it was a ritual behind all the fasting and praying she was looking for something she was awaiting the promise the promise is the Messiah is coming night and day young woman young woman see nobody that's old and bent over and dried up young woman night and day life was not textbook storm had come by her house death had robbed her of her intimacy but she found solace in the temple she was a constant worshiper a devout worshippers she was occupied see she was busy she was engaged she was involved you know why some of you are depressed cuz you're not involved in nothing but yourself you think we could ask you think we could even suggest that some of you all who were food found will be found in Anna's place you think we would suggest or would suggest that you come up in here and fast and pray after you lost your boo you ain't got no boo now and you can't ask you to pass away she served God with fasting and prayer this woman got old in the demo she got seasoned in intercession she devoted her life and here's the key thing she didn't feel robbed work with me right here work with me work with me work with me because the problem today is we feel robbed you see we feel like we're missing out on life and right now you feelings are buried in the ruin and understanding under on the wall she and Anna praying for people when they ran in the temple she was right there to intercede she cared for people she was one of the few prophetesses she made history she's in the Bible she is eternally recognized who gonna remember you with the second husband anyway she is that's why someone who can't praise the Lord you're angry cuz you don't have a man you're angry you upset your children depress you depress if I depress this woman ain't got nobody ain't got nobody ain't got no children or husband she had a little seven-year little city or something little center yourself and then now something came to snatch it away and she walkin around lookin crazy she's fasting and praying it's possible don't tell me that it's not possible to find him to be sweeter than the honey in the honeycomb don't tell me that it is not possible that storms can ravish your life but out of that storm you can emerge as a devout Christian don't tell me that's not possible she was willing to miss a meal to spend time before God she was willing to join others in the congregation to pour out her soul audibly in the temple they heard her prayed she was willing to have a life of self control she had learned how to crucify the flesh in order to serve God verse 25 the widow who is really in need and let's all puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask for god help but the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even why she lives that's first Timothy five and six so she had an assignment and she was satisfied age has nothing to do with it are you satisfied circumstances things that you love the most were snatched from you tonight can you still find your place in the kingdom of God can you still devote your time can you still execute your assignment without feeling that you've been robbed the next thing is she had an encounter see the thing about this is we want spectacular things to happen to us you know people are looking for the spectacular that's why they hang out with certain stars and stuff they they're still looking for that that that highlight that spotlight we will do anything for that hook up with people network so the people couldn't know your name go hey there's so-and-so hey there's so-and-so we want that special spotlight but we ain't willing to go through this even people who are not saved any great person pays the price we don't want to pay anything everything is an abuse everything is unusual I shouldn't be going through this but we want great things this woman settled herself neighbor settle yourself settle down in it the lsat a gay Shabbos if you want me to sit in this chair settle down McCullar seven seven seven seven whatever you need is right here where I tell you to sit she settled herself nobody had to look for her when it was prayer time nobody had to call you and remind you it's your turn to break know she was there she found pleasure delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of his heart that's one of the words that we don't like to mention we think the light you know when I think of the light I think of how some of y'all eat ice cream see all your favorite food you ever see people eat their favorite food it's an interesting piece of observation all kinds of things be happening to them physically you see their toes we need to light things face look you know what I mean Dana please look all kinds of weight lips hanging out whatever I wonder if we could get that way when it comes to to Jesus who was born who was born so that we can know what delight is but she had an encounter and then I'm finished I really am finished the encounter is and she coming in that instant now you gotta understand that this woman was actively engaged in the temple all these years she's over a hundred years now and she be in the temple now she didn't come in the temple and stay and then disappear you know she didn't do this as part time it was no moonlight you know there's no sidekick she understood her calling you're not too old to participate you not too old to play your part you're not age has nothing to do with it it's devotion commitment and understanding of your purpose counter she's coming in now Simeon is having his moment and she comes in at the same time you see when you're devoted to God your timing is on time see she wasn't somewhere crying you know that takes a lot of energy right there you you miss out see she was actively in listen you want God to bless you stay actively engaged it is as we are doing his will it is as we are walking that things happen in your school somewhere block down and wait for it to happen God comes as we are the path of the just is as a shining light as you keep moving he keeps bringing you closer that's where you get encounters she wasn't somewhere sleeping on hiding she was on the gunner on the case and he's he's experiencing the Messiah that he's been waiting for he's getting the most powerful moment of his life because he had to prophesy to Mary and Joseph Jesus is assignment so they could get the picture it was for him and it was for the family she had to be there to experience you can't be in here praying all these years Anna and miss you didn't give up your life and miss you stayed in here you were devoted you separated yourself you humble yourself you're stuck it out you can't be faithful he doesn't look you up right you you can't be that faithful and he doesn't set you up come on here you can't give that much and getting nothing out of the deal that's not the kind of God that we see come on with a woman and probably some people laughs that probably some people scorned you and scoffed at you you see because when you get serious like that somebody gonna make a comment I'm sure somebody said you're too young to be doing all of this come on you may have lost him but there's another he came around come on you shouldn't be up in here praying like this all the time I'm sure it wasn't an easy road but she was consistent but she was consistent coming to a climax what was the climax the mama said in that instant tell your neighbor that's how quick it happens that's how quick it happens see when you're in the right place at the right time it happens quickly it happens quickly the only time it doesn't happen is when you're somewhere looking around and you looking confused and crazy or you took time out there your neighbor come out of your timeout come out of your timeout and get back in your position okay I feel a hollering right there come on come out of your timeout something is about to happen you're about to experience something that no one else in the temple is experiencing but you at this moment there's special things that God wants to reveal to some of us but some of us went and took time out we got devoted to something else we start praying to something else we start loving something else we start crying out for something else we start leaning on something else and so we missed the instant tell your neighbor there's an instant there's an instant the Bible said in that instant she started giving things what are you giving thanks it means the right moment the right moment the right moment that's what it means it literally means she came and gave thanks he was giving thanks and she came up and stood right next to him she caught it right away what are you giving thanks for she started confessing some things about Jesus he wasn't the only one waiting she was waiting also she understood prophecy couldn't be a prophetess and didn't know Old Testament prophecy couldn't be a prophetess and didn't know the Messiah was coming could be a prophetess and didn't know her history oh come on here since he understood something is about to happen and I'm going to stay right here until it manifests itself well come on tell your neighbor I'm going to stay in my place she moved and she repeated Thanksgiving she joined him immediately Anna's prayers were paired with her praise she came out instantly it was not a bad to praise it was a pouring out praise it was instant ping as it was extemporaneous it came out of her spirit because she knew the moment she was in my god she understood that the Holy Child was here she understood that the Messiah was here she became a part of this glorious manifestation of the income she saw something that other woman didn't see oh come on here she may have missed the baby but she didn't miss Jesus her husband may have died but she didn't miss the moment oh come on ladies and gentlemen we're not feeling sorry for Anna we're celebrating her inclusion he included this widow woman who suffered loss included shepherds a wonder low totem pole in profession included stargazers that came from foreign countries but he found a woman women that prey or dangerous things happen when women know we don't like to pray I know we don't like to fasts because we got other appointments but when women come together and pray they're calling the Bible call for the cunning women call for the women that can intercede any time a nation Falls is because women become perverted Rome fell not because of Nero but because the women lost their dignity oh but when women come together and start praying things start happening now the Bible said that this woman had a chance to see the Holy Child when you see the Holy Child something happens automatically I don't know what happens with the Saints today we must not be seeing Luke 146 and Mary said my soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit hath rejoiced in the god of my Savior for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden we have beheld from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed Luke 167 and his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Ghost and prophesied saying blessed be the Lord God of Israel for he had visited and redeemed his people and had raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David Ephesians three blessed be the God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who had blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places according as he had chosen us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be wholly without blame before him in love having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will to the praise of the glory of His grace where he near Labor's accepted in the beloved in whom we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace that's what should come out of your mouth when you think about him I don't know why she'd come out of the old as when as a young Sienna knew how to praise Him anyone who hadn't encountered the Shepherd's started worshiping the wise men worship Simeon worship and Hanna worship you can't see him and not worship you can't get a glimpse of his holiness and not worship you can't perceive who he is in his greatness in the splendor of his glory and not worship you can't recognize that there's no other god like him and not worship you can't see his kingship it's lordship its power and not worship you can't see is healing and his deliverance and not worship Isaiah said I saw him I just saw the Train I didn't see his face if I had seen his face I wouldn't be able to take him but I saw his train he was high and lifted her lord have mercy and his train filled the temple but I also heard something got to have worship if he's in the room got to have worship if his presence in the room and I saw the angels with two weeks they flew with two wings they cover their feet two wings that cover their eyes and they cry holy holy holy Lord God Almighty the whole earth is full of his glory so when women don't praise Him there's something wrong when men don't praise Him there's something wrong just because we ain't got no children we don't mean you can't praise because you ain't got no husband it doesn't mean you can't praise Him then because you're getting old ain't no mean you can't praise him you've got an appointment you've got something to do you've got an assignment and he's gonna take the recognition of who he is the honouring of who he is a lifting him up for who is and Ana praised in praising praising so you know this is this this is an interesting paradigm Reverend Trish it was in Brown had chosen set apart to praise him chosen set apart to praise him but that wasn't the end of it the Bible said and she spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem no I'd have mercy she hung out with the right people she hung out with the lookers she hung out with the watchers who you hanging out with the depressors the gossipers the poisoners the ones who are depressed who have no hope come on that's why some of you are watching right now you can't even celebrate Chris Christmas cuz you're hanging out with the wrong people but Hannah hung out with the right people didn't have a husband but in the tent of praying and carrying on what she hung out with the right people who you hanging out with the Bible said she went and found the folk that had the same anticipation the same expectation she had a company of people that were waiting for the Messiah waiting for the hope of Israel waiting for the Prince of Peace the father said his name shall be called wonderful counselor mighty God everlasting father and Prince of Peace and so Simeon worshiped but Hanna worship and then she got up and she became one of the first missionaries for all you who don't believe women play a part the father said this woman got up from her prese and she went and got a company she went and told him I saw this man he's a baby right now but this is what we've been waiting for we've been waiting for the home of Israel huh we were waiting for redemption huh we've been waiting for deliverance and grace she didn't just worship her she got on the horn shared her faith ha ha shook up a community she had influence of she had reputation because I knew she were praying they knew she were praising now they know she can testify come I saw him huh he's a consolation of Israel he's a one that came to deliver us she went and told him about there's a way out we might be in trouble now we have had a word for over 400 years but here comes a word and the word became flesh and dwelt among us and I beheld here maja the glory of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth come on Hannah you ain't walking with no cane you ain't in the wheelchair you're running with the gospel come on put your hands together I tell god I got a message anyone who met him left talking about him how come you leave here and don't talk about it how come you walk out of here no share the word joseph of arimathea prominent member of the Council who was himself waiting there was a group waiting for the kingdom of God went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus's body new 2419 about Jesus of Nazareth they replied he was a prophet these are the two guys on the road to Emmaus we were waiting no I'd have mercy we had hope that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel so faith will make you wait she waited a long time by the time she was over a hundred she waited all 80 something years just for that one moment lord have mercy you can't wait for a few minutes you can't wait when I've been in this for a long time and I've been waiting this woman waited for 80 something years and the Lord came through her so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time you see you've got to look for him he think she got the experience because she expected it Simeon waited cuz he had expected it and when you trust God you have to expect it but he's not a man that he should lie neither the son of the man that he should rent we have lost our expectation and that equals the pressure our faith is not in him it's in what we see on what we feel is what somebody else has but we don't have that's what we're looking at that's why we look so depressed listen to me some of us some of us we don't have to do much to me the press we have been married to our depression there's no life there's that low effect when I was in school I didn't like to take psych I didn't like to go to the psych ward it stirred me very much disturbed me I don't know how I passed it I don't know how Jesus outlasted I didn't like it because there was so much I saw of the human spirit that was twisted and messed up and one of the things that they asked you when you fill out your report was they're low effect you know what that means that the person looked depressed morose you understand with no emotions or no expression and sometimes you you should see us you should come stand next to me when I'm preaching and look at you sitting out there it's amazing and I didn't have that because she was engaged in something bigger than herself if you could just get past yourself and hold on to your expectation and I went because it was there was a group of people waiting for the same day it was prophesied and his name shall be called Emmanuel God with us and a virgin shall bring forth a son there were some people believing it the Sanhedrin didn't believe it the Pharisees didn't believe it but there's a group of people believing it the wise men believed it the shepherds got a glimpse of it Simeon held him and Anna talked about him what are you talking about well I'm tired of been I've been in church all my life and let me give you a medal the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want making me delight now three pastors leadeth me beside the still waters he restoreth my soul leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake yea though I walk kind of switch upon me now yea though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me thy rod that rod and thy staff come on with me Claudia and they comfort me now my parents the table before me in the presence of my enemies and you anoint my head with oil but here's here's a conclusion Charlotte goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell ain't nothing wrong with dwelling in the house of the Lord forever come on it ain't no crime dwelling it's a problem because you don't like him that much but asked me if she liked it nothing bad enough to wait for somebody help me praise it just as I love him bad enough to wake 80 something years you gotta love them like that Saints you don't love them like that you love somebody else like that you gotta want him battling like that cuz you can't you can't not want something the soul is gonna want something the soul is like your belly it's gonna want something you know talk about I don't eat food yes you do and you don't want what you want what you like well it's the same thing the soul does so if you don't want him like that and I knew the secret I got to want him like this well I don't think it's a reproach to be in the temple fasting and praying and expecting the Messiah and that's why the church it's in lo debar that's why people no matter how much word you preach they still leave unsettled unresolved teeter-tottering complaining and whining because your expectation it's for something else but not saying can you imagine living just to lay my eyes on him Simeon said now I can leave here I waited all this time just to behold him I waited to see prophecy fulfilled right in my lifetime and there's some things that God wants to fulfill in your lifetime but are you in are you in the temple are you in are you there are you we're so we're so determined not to be there that even in our expressions we don't want people to recognize us immediately as Saints I thought my clothes either we want to be so fluid that's the word you know generations he's supposed to be a fluid more fluid but the boomers and silent people they flew it to because it was a time when you can be in the presence of that generation and know they're solid we used to hang around them you just hang around them and sit around them you know that's right Dana we used to be around the mothers and we
