according to our viewer stats here on the ipad we've got 41 nations and 47 states watching today we still can't get anybody in rhode island to turn us on so we'll be praying for a breakthrough there but uh a few weeks ago i put up an email address pastor matt jhm.org to get testimonies and the testimonies that have been coming in are just encouraging to me but i think it's important for people to hear how those who are watching are being able to be blessed by what's happening here at cornerstone this comes from debbie jensen from north canton ohio she wrote a testimony sharing how her parents needed in-home health care and she became the individual to look after them and here's what she says she says everything stopped i had no church no friends no down time everything that i wanted or needed in life desperately it suddenly disappeared after three months of being alone crying myself to sleep being overworked i started to watch on sundays and i at least took that time to be alone with god i can't tell you how your ministry and online services have provided for me sitting alone in my room while my parents slept after their morning breakfast i felt the sweet presence of the lord it must sound strange to others that i found companionship in an empty room but i really did i clapped my hands when the crowd clapped i sang when they sang i took notes on the sermons you preached i prayed every prayer you all prayed and even raised my hands for the blessing says we owe you pastor hagee and cornerstone church for giving us hope you were a church when i needed a church and america is in trouble and needs more churches to answer the call just as you have [Applause] amen god bless her now here's a question that she asks you she says i enjoy attending cornerstone so much that i keep bread and juice for communion i pray when you pray i worship when you worship i'm proud to call you my pastor is there any way i can join your church from ohio yes absolutely all right miss debbie well the good news is we've grown by one member today so that's that's always an encouragement speaking of encouragement the embraced women's uh conference is going to be an encouragement to the ladies of cornerstone september the 10th and the 11th ladies if you'd like to purchase your tickets you can do so by going online you can download the embraced app or stop by the tables at the north and the south entrances of the church as you leave today as the embraced women's ministry team is there to greet you and thank you for being a part of our services today pastor for the last two weeks we've been talking about prayer as america's answer and part of that was your encouragement for people to begin praying and you gave us a prayer journal what are some of the testimonies that have been coming in based on the prayer journals that have been distributed we've been getting testimonies far and wide from people who were saying that i am a christian but i really didn't have a prayer life and i only started praying when i got in trouble a prayer is not a parachute prayer is a walk with god you need to recognize that god is not your butler he's your savior he wants to hear from you when you understand the power that you have it is amazing i know that during the trump administration people would say you've talked to the president what's that feel like i said i get to talk to god every day when you recognize you have that kind of power at your disposal and all you have to do is mention that you're there in the name and the authority of jesus whatever you pray that's in this book according to the word and the will of god god will make it happen there are 3 000 promises in this book all waiting to explode in your life to make your life a thing of beauty but not one thing in this book is available to you until you pray it into your life what you do on the ground determines what god can do in heaven once that gets in your spirit it will change your prayer life you need to have a place to pray a time to pray a plan to pray you take this there are 16 different dimensions of prayer in here and they're each illustrated by scripture and there are pages for you to write down your prayer requests things you want god to do the bible says to do that in the book of habakkuk 2-2 write the vision down and make it plain why because if you don't know what you're praying for you won't know what god answers put down on paper exactly what you want and god will do exactly that god is waiting to hear from you nothing is impossible to you go get them amen if you're joining us online and you'd like a prayer journal you can get one at jhm.org if you're here in the sanctuary and don't have one the ushers are going to be standing in the aisles at the close of the service and we'll be glad to hand you one if you've already got one and you want to get one to your backslidden relatives you can take one for them too so the way that we accomplish the mission of this ministry is by receiving the tithes and offerings that are here and before i give you the ways to give i want to make mention of this we have received a number of phone calls here at the ministry for individuals who are concerned about vaccine mandates and they're concerned that it's going to cost them their career because some of the places that they work are saying that you will be vaccinated or you will be terminated and they're asking about religious exemptions this week i spoke with kelly shackleford who is the founder and lead counsel at first liberty kelly shackleford has an organization of christian attorneys that represent christians with regard to their religious liberties and believe me our religious liberty is something that is under attack in the united states today kelly shackleford has assured me that if you go to firstliberty.org you'll find information there that enables you to overcome a vaccine mandate based on your religious liberty if that's something you choose to do so go first liberty.org is a website for you to visit today we receive our offering and if there's a number of if there's a number of ways for you to participate here in the

it today would you lift your hands to the throne of grace our most gracious heavenly father look from the balconies of heaven toward every hand that's extended towards you even as moses prayed on top of the mountain with his hands lifted toward the lord did god bring him the supernatural victory for the state of israel today i'm asking you lord to bring total victory to every person those who are in this audience those who are in their homes those who are watching right now around the world in spite of their circumstance i ask you god to supernaturally break through and to give them the desires of their heart because this is the pledge and the promise of god bless them with blessings they cannot contain blessed them in their going out and coming in blessed their health blessed their marriages bless their children bless their business bless them in their prosperity for the blessings of the lord are guaranteed by the word of god and we pray that today in the authority of jesus name

[Music] uh every change [Music] [Applause] america is in the greatest moral and political crisis we have ever known these things are happening rebellion against authority is now promoting chaos and confusion socialism is running rampant what is the answer to proclaim liberty america's being destroyed from within while christians slumber in cathedrals presenting a hot tub christianity a feel-good christianity america's answer to the crisis hour is found in spiritual warfare the principles of spiritual warfare are simply unknown to the vast majority of christian people in america what you do on the ground in prayer determines what god can do in heaven you must pray it through before it becomes a reality keep asking keep seeking keep knocking keep believing keep fighting the good fight keep praying until the light shatters the darkness nothing nothing nothing is impossible to those that believe and are called according to the purposes of god god answers prayer the anointing is on its way the things you're seeking for will happen he is the dog who never fails keep on believing god answers prayer bless the name of the lord [Music] will you stand for the reading of god's word turn with me to the book of jeremiah chapter 51 verse 20. as today we conclude our sermon series america's answer with the sermon israel god's battle axe our first two sermons in this series in america's answer was the weapon of prayer we gave each person a prayer journal to write the vision down and make it plain according to the word of god the second sermon was america's answer proclaimed liberty as you've just heard on the video america is now in the greatest moral and political crisis since the american revolution our answer is prayer warfare what we do in prayer determines what god can do in heaven earth controls heaven when it comes to prayer god does nothing until you ask him ask and you shall receive you have not because you ask not that's what's in the word of god as much as god has as much power as he has none of it is available to you until you get on your knees and you ask him for it today we bring to you this third sermon it is intense it is history it is bible history it is prophecy i'm going to show you what will be the end of america i'm going to show you god's love for israel what will be the end of the russian empire and the chinese empire what it's going to be like and how soon is it going to happen you want to listen to this congregation don't turn that national congregation don't turn that knob stay tuned this may be the most important message america has heard in a long time let's pray father in the authority of your name we release the holy spirit in this building and into every home that's receiving this message that we may be transformed by the renewing of our minds through the power of the holy spirit and the word of god and all of god's children said praise the lord you may be seated the text in jeremiah 51 20 read it you are my battle acts and weapons of war for with you i will break the nation in pieces and with you i will destroy kingdoms that is a very powerful verse but when you read it in the new american standard bible it's even stronger it says god says to israel you are my war club you are my weapon of war and with you i will shatter nations and with you i will destroy kingdoms think about that consider god's love for israel and the jewish people for centuries christians embraced the replacement doctrine stating that god almighty has replaced the jewish people with the church i want to tell you that's wrong it is a false doctrine it is not true it's not true because the bible says it's not true romans chapter 11 verse 1 paul writing god's position paper on the jewish people in the theological council of romans 9 10 and 11. in chapter 11 paul says i am jewish and he gives his jewish heritage and he was indeed jewish and he says god is still using me and if god is still using me he's obviously not through with the jewish people and then he writes in that same chapter in verse 26 all israel will be saved say that with me all israel will be saved that means god is not through with the jewish people and when jesus comes back to earth how's he coming back he's coming back as the lion of the tribe of judah judah is the word from which we get the jewish people he's not coming back as a baptist in a pinstriped soup he's coming back as a jewish rabbi to rule and reign over the earth give the lord praise in the house the love of the jewish people is eternal god's covenant with abraham isaac and jacob has never been broken never been broken the bible says the lord has chosen zion that's israel and he has designed it he has desired it for his habitation listen to ii chronicles 6 6. the bible says i god have chosen jerusalem that my name may be there forever say that word forever and my eyes and my heart my heart is my love and my love shall be there forever forever exodus 4 22 israel is my firstborn son this is what god told this is what god told moses to go tell pharaoh israel is my firstborn son and if you hurt my firstborn son i'm going to kill your son god said that that's in your bible don't look at me like that that's in your bible if you don't think god can play hardball read that verse real close pharaoh didn't pay attention and god killed the firstborn child in every egyptian home he drowned and destroyed and ruined until egypt sank into a depth of poverty that has lasted until this day there is a bible verse i'm going to refer to many times today i will bless those who bless you and i will curse those who curse you world history can be capsulated in those two verses the nations that have blessed israel have been blessed and the nations that have cursed israel have been cursed of god deuteronomy 7 27 and 6. listen to this powerful verse for you the jewish people are a holy people to the lord your god and the lord has chosen you listen to be a special treasure above all the people on the face of the earth that means even america god has chosen them as a special treasure of himself psalm says 135 3 4 for the lord has chosen jacob for himself and israel as his special treasure i'm giving these verses of scripture because there are preachers all over america saying god no longer loves the jewish people wrong he loves them just as he has always loved them he has never broken covenant if god broke covenant with his firstborn son why do you think he wouldn't break covenant with you paul said we were outside the covenants of israel without god without hope of all men most miserable but god adopted us and that covenant still stands because the god we serve keeps covenant for a thousand generations technically that's longer than forever the bible facts that you need to know about israel god's love for jerusalem has no boundaries jerusalem is the epicenter of the universe and god says my eyes are constantly on that center epicenter means it is the absolute center of everything that happens jerusalem is the shoreline of eternity everything that's going to happen from now to the end of the earth starts in jerusalem and the state of israel everything jerusalem is where i where abraham placed isaac on the altar of sacrifice it was a special mountain that god himself chose he put his son there lifted the dagger to take his life god stopped him and said now i know that you will love me above all others that mountain was chosen by god because three thousand years later god the father took his son to that same mountain and put him on the altar of the cross and he bled and died for your redemption and your redemption and my redemption because god has saved us from our sin by the blood of the cross hallelujah for the cross of jesus christ jerusalem was david's heartbeat he said if i forget you o jerusalem let my right hand forget its cunning and let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth david was a musician and if your right hand is withered and your tongue is paralyzed and cannot move you can neither play nor sing if you cannot play nor sing life has no meaning paul david was saying without jerusalem in my life life has no meaning jerusalem is where jeremiah and isaiah penned the principles of righteousness that became the moral foundation for the constitution of the united states of america as penned by our founding fathers jerusalem is where jesus christ carried his cross and bled and died for you and i jerusalem changed the direction for my life when i was praying at the western wall in jerusalem in 1978 in our first trip that don and i took with 18 members of our church while i was praying at the walls the divine concept came through my brain you should honor the jewish people with a night to honor them and it was so foreign it just what do you mean and i heard the phrase comfort ye comfort ye my people the night of honor israel was born and it gave birth to christians united for israel in 2006. today there are more than 10 million plus christians across the united states of america who are warriors standing against anti-semitism and people who are committed to loving israel and the jewish people jewish people you are not alone the evangelical community is with you in god's tomorrow just immediately in our future the king of all kings and the lord of all lords the fairest of ten thousand the lion of the tribe of judah jesus is going to return to jerusalem he's bringing with him the bride ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands mounted on white horses wearing crowns of life with the resplendent robes of white the lion of the tribe of judah is going to sweep the battlefield of armageddon and destroy the anti-semitic nations that have risen against israel the blood of anti-semitic nations is going to run for 200 miles the blood of those who've tried to stop israel will be over forever god is going to set up his throne in jerusalem and he's going to rule for a thousand years of perfect peace where in jerusalem the city of god in jerusalem the city of david in jerusalem the eternal capital of the last civilization on the face of the earth give the lord praise in the house of god israel is not a political issue it's a bible issue israel is the only nation created by god himself as the creator he had rights in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth he didn't reproduce what was here he created something out of nothing therefore he owns the earth as the owner of the earth he entered into a real estate contract with abraham isaac and jacob and their descendants forever and he made a covenant with them that they owned the land forever there are people who try to spiritualize that and say it's a heavenly inheritance wrong read the bible that always helps genesis 15 verses 18 through 21 god says the borders of israel or the euphrates river there is no euphrates river in heaven dude genesis 15 18 21 says the borders consist of all of lebanon most of jordan all of the golan heights and all of syria the future state of israel when the king of kings comes back is going to be many many times the size of that minuscule nation today it is his world it is his tel it is his project he will bring it to pass get ready it's going to happen give the lord praise in the house quickly consider the blessing of blessing israel that's found in the bible genesis 12 is the covenant that god made with abraham that has controlled the destiny of nations from the day of egypt until this day perhaps the most powerful statement in the old testament is the statement i will bless those who bless you say that with me i will bless those who bless you and i will curse those who curse you that's god's statement to the end of time consider the blessing of divine healing that came to the roman centurion in luke the seventh chapter the centurion had a sick servant he loved that sick servant down the road is coming a rabbi with the healing ministry jesus of nazareth jesus of nazareth is an observant jew he's not about to go into the house of that gentile because he'll break every law in the book of moses so the censurion goes to the jewish elders and the jewish elders go down the dusty path and intercept jesus and he said you should enter this man's house and pray for his sick servant listen because he has built us a synagogue when gentiles start doing practical acts of kindness to bless the jewish people god starts doing miracles for those gentiles you know the story jesus walked in the house prayed the servant was was instantly healed bang why because this man blessed the jewish people why did the blessing of salvation and the holy spirit come to cornelius in acts the 10th chapter why was he the first person to be chosen because acts 10 says of cornelius he was a just man a man of good reputation among the jewish people that's a quote from the bible i want to ask you pastors who are listening or church members or maybe even deacons does your church have a good reputation with the jewish people have you ever done anything to bless or honor the jewish people for their contributions to christianity the fact is the bible commands the believers to bless israel psalms 122 6 says pray for the peace of jerusalem they shall prosper that love you prosper i've looked up that word it means prosper pray for the peace of jerusalem this is not a request it's a command you should put this in your prayer journal because god will bless you for it regardless of whether you understand it or not that is god's directive saint paul states that christians have a debt of gratitude to the jewish people romans 15 27 he says for if the gentiles that would be us have benefited from the jewish spiritual things spiritual things if they benefit from their spiritual things it is our duty this is paul it is our duty to minister to the jewish people in material things so what spiritual things have we benefited from from the jewish people the jewish people have given us this precious book every word in the bible written by jewish hands the jewish people have given us the patriarchs abraham isaac and jacob they've given to us the prophets daniel ezekiel amos zechariah not a baptist in the bunch prophets they gave us king david i love the psalms they gave us mary joseph and jesus take jesus out of the equation and not one of us would be here today they gave us the twelve disciples they gave us saint paul who wrote most of the new testament for the new testament church let me tell you we have a debt of gratitude to the jewish people we can never repay that's why jesus said in john 4 22 salvation is of the jews write it down john 4 22 salvation is of the jews the point if you take away the jewish contribution to christianity there would be no christianity the fact is judaism does not need christianity to explain its existence but we cannot explain our existence without the jewish people there's a powerful command concerning the jewish people and the church isaiah 40 and 1 it says comfort ye comfort ye my people saith the lord there are two groups of people in this verse people who are being comforted and people who are doing the comforting the people being comforted or the jewish people the one doing the comforting happens to be the church the prophet isaiah looks into the prophetic future and he sees a day when the church should be be comforting israel why consider the history of the jewish people the church was born in the book of acts in the upper room and 40 years later the roman army under titus siege is jerusalem according to historian josephus over 1 million jewish people starved to death many were murdered women were raped the temple was totally destroyed 75 000 jewish young men were taken as captives to italy to build what is now called the roman coliseum it was a day of sorrow the walls of jerusalem were pulled down so that not one stone was left on top of the other remember that verse then came the eight major crusades of the middle ages think about this the crusades the crusades were organized and executed by the roman church the crusaders were not holy men they were nothing less than the roman church army who robbed and raped and murdered the jewish people for hundreds of years thinking and believing and being told they were doing the will of god i'm just going to give you one scene from the first crusade you can put the other seven together on the first crusade to jerusalem in 1099 the cross-carrying knights of the roman church herded all the jewish men women and children into the great synagogue set it on fire and burned him to death all 960 of them and while they were screaming for mercy they marched around that great synagogue and seeing christ we adore thee that's a fact of history can you hear the words comfort you comfort ye my people saith the lord you don't know that you're hearing that for the first time but jewish people know their history like you know the back of their hand for eighteen hundred years they saw their relatives murdered by someone who was carrying a cross and a sword to execute them immediately after the crusades came the spanish inquisition of 1748 under queen isabella and king ferdinand at the behest of the roman church jews were rounded up and tortured for heresy what was their heresy they wouldn't abandon judaism for roman catholicism they died rather than give up their faith the spanish inquisition was a cynical plot to steal the property of well-to-do jews for the benefit financial benefit of the roman church they murdered jews just to get their money and to put it in the church treasury this this inquisition was so vicious don't look at me like i'm making this up this is a history this is a known history to the jewish people in this inquisition it was so vicious that the roman church dug up the bones of dead jews and put those bones on trial and when those bones could not answer the questions of the inquisitors they took over their estates sold it and put the money in the treasury of the roman church hear the words of isaiah drifting over the words over the pages of time comfort ye comfort ye my people saith the lord why because they've been put through hell on earth by people carrying a cross and saying we love you isaiah saw the living hell of the holocaust and he presented i saw the living hell of the holocaust featuring the living devil known as adolf hitler adolf hitler attended a catholic school as a child where the words of john chrysostom who was one of the founders of the roman church pounded into the minds of their students his mantra and here it is in history you're you jews are the christ killers god hates you and i hate you and it is the responsibility of all christians to hate you jewish people know that like you know john 3 16. some of you are hearing it for the first time can you hear the need for the message comfort ye comfort ye my people why do we have nights to honor israel here and all over america we're being obedient to the word of god that says comfort ye comfort ye my people saith the lord then came martin luther with this book concerning the jewish people in their lives martin luther left the roman church and he believed the jewish people would follow him when they didn't follow him he turned on the jews with rage and he wrote the book concerning the jews and their lies and he said the jews should be take away their gold and their silver their jewels and their coins set their synagogues on fire set their schools on fire tear their houses down sell their church put their children into slavery sell them into slavery cut their tongues out through the back of their neck end of quote martin luther don't turn it off listen this is truth this is history in 1989 1981 when i walked into the jewish federation here in san antonio texas and told them i wanted to have a night to honor israel to thank them for all of their contributions to christianity into america they were shocked they actually looked at me like i was carrying a rare disease and they had the right to they were concerned about my agenda and they had a right to they know their history we don't even know american history let alone their history so listen who could blame them if your relatives had been murdered by people carrying the cross for 1800 years you wouldn't trust them either with the help of rabbi scheinberg my dear friend the first night to honor israel happened its purpose to bring comfort and consolation to the jewish people it was simple obedience to one verse in the bible and look what it has done it is changing the destiny of america and the attitude of nations concerning the jewish people in 2006 when we organized christians united for israel no one could possibly see that 10 million people would one day join that holy cause and if you're a bible-believing christian and want to be a part of us phonos phone us we're ready to take you our mission is to stand with israel and the jewish people by fighting anti-semitism and the false doctrine of replacement theology tooth and tongue we are going to be here as consolation to the jewish people because they are they are the firstborn of god when the last shot has been fired in the middle east the flag of israel is still going to be flying in the breeze messiah will come we're going to celebrate a thousand years of perfect peace let freedom ring give the lord praise in the house [Music] what is the future of america understand that america was founded on the bible and in faith god almighty there's a sevenfold covenant again i will bless those who bless you and i will curse those who curse you you say why is that so important because god said that and that's still his policy toward every nation on the face of the earth god does not change his mind when he makes a covenant this is god's almighty blessing consider egypt the pharaoh that knew joseph died and there arose a pharaoh that knew not joseph and he became brutal toward the jewish people he said we're going to drown all the jewish male babies why to exterminate the jews how do you do that if the jewish male babies are drowned jewish girl babies will grow up with only egyptians to marry thereby judaism is judaism is wiped out in one generation by assimilation gone is the plan for the bible gone is the coming prophets gone is the appearance of jesus christ god in heaven didn't say oh my goodness what am i going to do he sent 10 plagues and he wiped those people off the face of the earth i will bless those who bless you and i will curse those who curse you where is greece gone where's the medo-persian empire gone where's the roman empire that crucified the son of god that crucified his disciples gone where's that lunatic goose-stepping nazi adolf hitler and his brainless thugs that followed him in the holocaust they're gone i will curse those who curse you where's great britain at one time in history great britain controlled almost almost most of the earth that one time controlled all of america parts of canada africa india and much of europe it was said the sun never sets on the british empire and that was true but then king edward kicked the jewish people out of england twice in the 20th century israel was abused by england and here's how in 1939 there was a white paper policy how many of you do not know what the white paper policy was better raise your hand or i'm going to come back there with a microphone and say tell me yeah none of you about a handful of you in 1939 the holocaust was going on the british had absolute control of what was called palestine you know it is israel it's the british mandate the jews were allowed to live there but they could not control their destiny there because the british were very anti-semitic and they still are so they put together a white paper policy that said only ten thousand jews a year can come into israel but the holocaust was happening hitler was killing ten thousand people a day and the jews were flooding any way they could into israel and the british gathered them up put them on a train took them to the coast put them on a boat send them back to hitler where they were killed in the holocaust and they knew it was happening but they wouldn't change their policy and so today great britain is now a single island and insignificant as far as global history is concerned what is the future of russia and iran the death certificate for russia and iran is recorded in ezekiel 38 39 it's called the gog magog war it's the first war in the gog magog war russia is going to come out of the four north in ezekiel 38 15 and 16 15 through 18. right after the four blood moons i said there will be a move in the middle east that will change history forever ten days after that fine blood moon russia moved into the middle east and they're there to this day and ezekiel says many nations are going to follow you this is already started ezekiel writes you russia will come up against my people israel like a light a cloud to cover the land it will be in the latter days when is that that's when israel has become a nation and that's when jerusalem is rejoined to the nation that means right now we're living in the latter days listen i'm going to put a hook in your jaw i'm quoting the bible and i'm going to drag you into israel for your day of judgment that's god speaking to russia and to iran jew hating nations because god is going to exterminate every jew hating nation on the face of the earth god is not going to allow his people to be persecuted anymore the anti-jewish riots in russia were mind-boggling in their brutality i won't go into them what anti-semitic nations are now iran is going to invade israel and when they do god has said i am going to do exactly this you're going to come with nine different armies it's going to be a multitude to cover the land it's going to be a land invasion of such magnitude that the nations of the world will believe that israel is no longer going to be able to stand and so god brings them drags them come here because i am going to kick your behinds up over your head and that's just before i kill you the first thing he does is have a huge earthquake and he swallows a large portion of that army you say oh god wouldn't do that god has already done that you remember moses when he came down from sinai and the israeli people the jewish people had formed a golden calf he said those of you on the lord's side come over here quick and while they got over there god opened a huge place in the earth and swallowed up the thousands who were worshiping that gold calf goodbye i love that i love that story i do when that massive earthquake happens then the bible says there there will be a friendly fire every man's sword will be turned on the other there's going to be such chaos and confusion there's nine armies speaking nine different languages with different weaponry they're going to shoot each other oh that's never happened oh it has happened remember gideon the sounding of the trumpets and the people turned on each other the enemies of israel kill themselves and that's going to happen again and then hail stones he said i'm going to do that that's my signature because in the old testament sinners were stoned to death and god says i am going to kill some of these people with my personal hand why he said so that all of israel will know that i'm still alive and i am their god and i am their defender that's why that's going to happen hello russia hello iran your graveyard is in israel israel is god's battle axe he's going to crush you because you insulted his dignity by invading the land of israel i know you're atheist and don't believe in god but you're going to meet him and he is an awesome god he's going to crush you what is the future of china listen closely marching army of 200 million men three years

testimony to pastor matt jhm.org [Music] you're watching hagie ministries don't go away here's more teaching from the word of god hello and welcome to this special hagee ministries broadcast today pastor hagee and i are talking to you about the desire that god in heaven has to bless you you know you've heard pastor teach about the power of the father's blessing you've read the contents of his book the power of the prophetic blessing and oftentimes people want to immediately disqualify themselves from the idea that they were born to be blessed sometimes it's based on the challenges that they have and the relationships with their earthly father sometimes it's just based on the concept that they're not worthy of the goodness and the favor of god in their life but what i want you to understand and be encouraged to believe today is that god is our father he is mine he is yours he is the maker of us all this is what jesus taught when he taught his disciples to pray he began with the words our father he didn't say my father he said our father and god our father in heaven is the author of the blessing you can receive blessings from a multitude of people on this earth but when you receive a blessing from god it carries weight and value this is what james chapter 1 17 said when we read the words every good gift and every perfect gift is from above it comes down from the father of lights with whom there is no shadow or variation of turning this verse establishes these things again one god is our father he's your father he's my father two god wants to bless you and three and probably the most important god doesn't change dad whenever we read that god wants to bless us where is the first place in scripture that we see the blessing the first place that we see the blessing in the word of god is in the gates of genesis the message of the blessing begins at genesis and does not stop until the book of revelation when god created adam and eve the bible says and he blessed him and said be fruitful and to replenish the earth they took that blessing then when he wanted to start a nation he blessed abraham in genesis 3. genesis 12. and in genesis 12 there is a covenant blessing that i'll come back to after a while but that covenant blessing to abraham i will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you has shaped the history of nations from that moment until this moment but keeping the blessing for the time being within the family whenever abraham blessed his sons he blessed jacob and jacob on the day of his death called his twelve sons together and he blessed him one at a time and he spoke a fur a verbal blessing over them and that verbal blessing that he made to each of those sons on the day of his death controlled the history of israel for the next thousand years that's the power of the blessing whenever jesus began his ministry he began with the blessing blessed are the poor in spirit blessed are blessed are blessed are every new testament book that saint paul wrote he begins with a blessing and john the revelator begins the book of revelation with the blessing blessed is he who reads this book so the the blessing of god the father begins at the gates of the garden of eden and does not stop until the very end of time you were born to be blessed god wants to bless you he wants to bless your children but let's come back now to genesis 12 because genesis 12 has a blessing that is so awesome in power that has it has really shaped world history god said to abraham i'm going to bless you and those who bless you will be blessed and those who curse you will be cursed that has been true of the jewish nation from genesis 12 until today the nations that have blessed the jewish people have prospered take the very first one egypt the pharaoh that knew joseph and blessed joseph became the wealthiest man in the world why because joseph predicted there was going to be a famine of seven years of lack and so for seven years they saved grain and when they were the only ones who had food when they when the depression came they used that food to buy lands and real estate that made pharaoh the richest man on the earth and egypt the greatest the greatest nation on the face of the earth and god blessed that relationship and then there arose a pharaoh that knew not joseph and he cursed the jewish people and god destroyed egypt because of that go forward where is babylon it's gone where are the where's the medo-persian empire it's gone all of these empires ruled over the jewish people where's the roman empire that crucified the son of god it's gone where where is uh the nazi organization that followed adolf hitler it has been it was totally annihilated and destroyed the blessing that god gave to the nations that blessed israel why do you think the blessing of god is on america the blessing of god is on america is because we have blessed the jewish people from the day that we began as a nation george washington honored the jewish people your dollar bill has an insignia of honor to the jewish people the jewish people have given to this country uh the blessing of god and let me say this to you the day america removes its blessing from the jewish people and israel will be the day god takes its blessing away from us please hear and understand that when you bless the jewish people god will bless you personally personally and when a person or nation attacks the jewish people the judgment of god will come upon them matt years ago when i taught the power of the blessing to our church on the last sunday of the sermon series i had all of the family sit together and i had the fathers to at the end of the sermon and i gave this teaching to bless their children just like jacob in the sequence of their birth and it was an experiment that really changed the spiritual dimension of our church in just a few minutes i heard the sound of sobbing grown men were crying as their fathers put their hands on them and i thought why is this happening and the thought came to me these sons these children for the first time in their life or hearing their father say something good about them to god almighty and they were grown men and they were grown men they were 35 and 40 years of age and the fathers went down the row and by the time all of those blessings had been given there was there was a spiritual electricity in that building that was awesome and unforgettable i remember that day like it happened yesterday when you release the power of god to protect your children the power of god to guide your children the power of god to send his angels before your children to be their rear guard the power of god to bring to them blessing as they go to school to protect them while they're at the school the power of god to bless you and your ministry god wants to bless you god wants to bless you he is your heavenly father he created the universe and everything that's in it specifically so he could bless you i challenge every father that's listening to this you need to read that book if you haven't the power of the blessing and establish in your mind exactly what it is you want for god to do in the lives of your children and when you father as the spiritual authority of your family put your hands on the head of your child and speak that blessing into existence it will change their lives for the rest of their lives if you are a single mom you can impart that blessing amen you can impart that blessing because you are the spiritual leader in that family and i pray that every person who's listening to this will take it to heart and do it because the blessing can change the lives of your family of your children for the rest of your life you know you mentioned single mothers and i read something in the bible the other day that he's a father to the fatherless which to me means that for every single mother they are partnering in their parenting with god almighty right they're parenting with his grace their parenting with his help their parenting with his power in their life so the power of the blessing is not limited to paternity it's god's gift to a parent to bless their child you were speaking about the power of the blessing and how jacob blessed his sons and the reality of what he said over them became the destiny of their family tree you spoke about genesis 12 and chapter 3 and how world history has literally been shaped by the power of that blessing not just from that moment in time god said to abraham i'm going to bless you but he was also speaking about the descendants of abraham that became the nation of israel that exists in the world today and it reminded me of something you said this past sunday uh when you mentioned the fact that your prayers will never cease that's right when you die when you pray your prayer never dies yes and i've obviously sat under your leadership and ministry for 43 years now and that may have been the first time that i've heard you say that and it began to resonate with me about how effective our prayers are when we turn them loose right but it also brings up this point if blessings are that effective how effective are the curses there's another side to that coin and it's up to us to decide which side we're on for example genesis chapter 1 and 28 god said to adam and eve be fruitful and multiply this was the first marriage and i think it's an important thing to mention that the first marriage was a god-ordained marriage between a man and a woman right he didn't ask them what their preferential pronouns were he created them male and female and put them together right so there's a blessing on a marriage god wants to bless every marriage from everyone who's watching there's a blessing on children he said be fruitful and multiply the purpose of a union between a man and a woman is to have children then he blessed mankind he said subdue the earth he gave adam a job your job is to take authority over what's happening down here and then he blessed creation because he said to adam you're going to be a steward over all that i have created so he didn't abandon what he created he put everything in its proper order and order is a form of blessing god is not the author of confusion the question is what prevents that blessing from being a reality in the lives of men today why aren't our marriages blessed why aren't our children blessed why are we seeing such environmental chaos in the world today where we are literally driving decisions down the throats of the american public based on what we think the environment needs not based on what mankind needs what has created this disorder the thing that has dis that created this disorder in america is the is the absentee father the ephesians 6 4 you fathers provoke not your children but teach them the word he but but trained them in the way of the lord and the word trained them is the greek word gemnaught from which we get gymnasium it means you as their teacher train and teach them in the way of the lord the fact is that in the american family 70 of children do not live with their birth father there are multiplied millions of single moms who are struggling and scrambling trying to make a living for the children that she had but the husband who is gone the curse of the american family is the absentee father and there then are fathers who are absentee you are there physically but you are not there emotionally and you're not there spiritually you are not the spiritual leader of your house the television is you need to turn the television off as soon as this telecast is over and learn the spiritual power of blessing your children because you father are responsible to god for the way that you train your children the ephesians said you fathers train your children not your mother not the boy scout leader not the preacher at the church but you have the responsibility of training your child in the way of the lord why did god choose abraham to be the leader of the jewish people that would give us the bible the prophets the patriarchs jesus and jesus christ why did he pick abraham the bible says it in one verse i chose him because i know he will teach his children in the way of the lord and that's true of the jewish people to this day they teach their children from the word of god the principles of righteousness you father watching this telecast and if your husband is not watching it i want you to get this telecast and play it back for him understand that it is his responsibility to take the leadership it's his responsibility to teach them the word of god it's his responsibility to put their hands his hands on their heads and pray a prayer of blessing may the lord bless you and may the lord keep you and may the lord make his face to shine upon you may the lord be gracious unto you and give you his peace and then father you speak a prophetic blessing the prophetic blessing is what you want to happen in the life of that child may the may the angels of the lord go before you to protect you and behind you to be your rear guard may the lord give you favor as you go into your school activities may the lord prosper you in all things may the lord bring to you health and peace and love and joy may the lord give to you and your children and your children's children the knowledge of the lord those are the things that you father have the ability to speak into existence and long after you are dead your prayers and the lives of your children will live on your prayers never die not ever you know i know that there are many parents who are watching and many people who are hearing some information for the very first time and immediately you want to
