God's Hand On Our House | Jentezen Franklin

the following program is sponsored by friends and partners of Kingdom Connection we are to never never never stop praying for our children as long as we have breath we are to pray for our children because our prayers are the bow that sings our children and they cannot soar without our prayers they cannot reach the high places without our prayers I do believe what I'm sharing today is absolutely a word for everyone here that you will be able to relate to and in a specific way in your life look with me in Ezekiel chapter 43 verse 12 this is the law of the house everybody say the law of the house this is the law of the house the whole area surrounding the mountaintop is most holy behold this is the law he says it again come on this is the law of the house he's trying to get something across that that this is how if you want me God saying this is the law of the house verse 13 these are the measurements of the altar and cubits the cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth one cubit and a handbreadth and I want to talk to you for just a few moments on God's hand on our house God's hand on our house the common the common measurement in the Bible is given as the measurement of a man's hand Noah first mentions this term cubit and I'm gonna build something here and I want you to stay with me everybody say cubed cubed is how they measured in Bible days they didn't have a measuring stick they didn't have a measuring tape so they measured by the hand breadth or the or the distance of this finger to that finger and it's called the hey breath and the way they measured it is they would measure your arm every every man here I want you to do this I want every man here to take your arm and put your four fingers right where your arm bends at the elbow basically and they would measure out six and unless you've got a weird arm if you measure it out you can get four you can get six hand whit's all the way up to the top of your fingers I measured it over and over and it's absolutely right give or take a little bit and that's how they used to measure that was called a cubit if you had six hand widths that measured one cubit when God told Noah to build the ark for the saving of his family he told him how many cubits and they didn't have measuring tape and equipment sophisticated engineering stuff like we have they measured by hand widths of cubits now what's interesting is the word cubit in the Hebrew language is M ma am mah which means the mother or the beginning so get this now in in in Jewish synagogues they teach that your arm which is the is called in Scripture the cubit of a man is six cubits and they teach this part of your arm is the mother of the arm why because whatever the mind can imagine it's not enough to imagine it the hands have the ability the creativity the the skill to create it and so the reason is called the mother part of the arm is because this one gives birth to it it's not enough to think it up here it has to be worked out with your hands and is six cubits which six is the number of man he worked six days and then God said we're gonna rest on the seventh day cause that day belongs to me six is the number of human influence and what man can do and he says it's amazing what man can do with his hands man the cubit of a man's hands can build a business can can build amazing and astonishing things and we see all that the world has came from the work and the ingenuity and the genius of man it's really amazing now this is if this is the if this is the mother of the arm then I'm throw this in this is the man this part up here is them is the father of the man come on that's where the softball is right there or or the mosquito bite whatever you want to call it but but but notice that the powers up here but the the ability to create the ability to to begin the ability to release that thing it's only a salt it's only a concept until this part of a man's hands begins to build it and then it becomes a reality but here's my point he said in John chapter 15 and verse 5 jesus said I am the vine and you are the branches and without me you can do nothing he did not mean you can't do some things with human ability but you can do nothing that will have eternal consequence without him you can do nothing that will be spiritually good and eternally good without him without me you cannot do what is eternal and what he's saying is this that that the six represents human effort the six hand Britz of a man represent what man can build what man can achieve the kingdoms he can build the corporations that go all over the world amass millions and even billions of dollars with this part o nothing but intellect and these hands and he he he says the six represents what man can do but there are two cubits in the there's the cubit of the six hand Brits and remember one cubit equals six hand Brits six hand breasts equals one cubit but then there is the sacred cubit that is found only in Ezekiel chapter 43 that I just read from Ezekiel was shown a vision and God said I want you to build me a house that will endure a house where children will be blessed and here's the key to it he said this is the law for the house so notice there's a cubit and a cubit is how many hand Brits everybody say six and then a hand Brit add one more to it which makes seven six is the number of what man can do but I'm gonna add one more hand and that's God's hand and he said this is the law of the house this is the only way you're gonna build a house that's going to endure in the 21st century this is the only way you're gonna build a marriage that's gonna last this is the only way you're gonna raise children in a wicked world that has forgotten about God and going crazy the only way you're going to build this is the law of the house you do all you can do give it everything you've got all six hand breaths but then it's gonna take the seventh hand and that's the hand of God and what you cannot do on your own my hands gonna come on your hands and I'll put my hand with your effort and you'll feel my hand with your hands and I'm going to take my hand the seventh hand and add it to your six your six is what humans can produce what human ability and human talent and human gifting can produce but that how many people do we know they have built amazing corporations they have fame and fortune and amazing kingdoms that they have built with their hands but they cannot hold their marriage together they cannot hold their family together they their lives are in shambles at the same time they have built things from here to here with natural ability but that is not enough the the family the law of the home is a supernatural thing and it takes the seventh hand which is all of your effort and then comes the hand of God the hand of God I think about Elijah and how that there was a famine in Israel the Bible said that he got down and prayed and when he started praying he told the servant go look on the mountaintop and see if you see any signs of a storm because we've been in a famine and it hasn't rained for three and a half years because see if you see any rain coming and the servant ran and he looked out and he saw nothing and he came back and the Prophet said what did you see and he said I saw nothing he said go again and he ran again a second time and looked came back and he said I saw nothing the Prophet prayed and said go again go again he goes four times five times six times everybody say six six times and nothing happens he comes back in the Prophet said I want you to go one more time I've done all that I can do and I want you to go tell me do you see anything and on the seventh he noticed it's the seventh hand now that's about to get involved he's done it it's our job to pray for our family it's our job to intercede for our family it's our job to honor God and teach them and mentor them and encourage them and set rules and and stay on that it's our job to do that but once we've done our part I'm glad he said go one more time and on the seventh time after the six is exhausted and now there's one more trip and he looks out and he came back and he said I saw one thing I saw on the seventh time a hand a cloud the size of a man's hand in the shape of a man's hand and it's moving this direction he saw the seventh hand coming to help him with the rain that he needed to produce the crop in his house and I'm saying to you that when we do what we can do that's why the Bible said train up a child in this is your part train up the child in the way that they should go and when they get old they may rebel they may act big Sassie whatever but there's a seventh unseen hand that comes on their life and wherever they go that hand won't let them go they can go off to college they go to the bars they go to the clubs but that hand won't let them go and when it gets through with them it'll drag them right back to the house of God set them right on the seat and say now serve the God of your father's because there's a seventh hand involved in your life somebody thank him for his faithfulness in our families hallelujah praise God I believe what I'm preaching the Bible said in Psalms 127 as arrows in the hands of a mighty man so are the children of the youth I want you to get this picture he said he said your children are like arrows in the hands of a mighty man to me that's the dad every man in this room say God I want to be a mighty man not a weak man I want to be a mighty man because my children need a mighty man and he said as arrows in the hands of a mighty man sword the children he's saying the arrows are like our children and they are to be in the hands of a mighty man but it's not just what my hands can produce I need the seventh hand on my hand if my kids are in my hand if their destiny if they're called if their purpose is in my hands as arrows now what do i what am I to do as a mighty man with these children there if their arrows number one they don't come shaped like arrows I am too I am too shape them I am too sharpen them and then I am to shoot them the job of every father is to shape the children so that God can use them I am to shape them and that's what I do when I come to church and that's what I do when I pray and that's what I do when I do the best that I can I'm shaping their lives I'm sharpening their lives and then at some point notice they're only in the hand of the mighty man for a while there come a time when you will release them like arrows in a boat and listen to this if the man is the archer and the children are the arrows prayer is the bow and always always always pray for your children because the thing that sends your children when they leave your house we are to never never never stop praying for our children as long as we have breath we are to pray for our children because our prayers are the bow that sends our children and they cannot soar without our prayers they cannot reach the high places without our prayers this is what a father does we are to build character as we have these arrows but for a while there's gonna come a day you've got them and I never thought it would come to our family but I thought those children would be in my hands the rest of my life but you know what just in the last few years one after another they've been released they've been released they're going out on their own they're going in the direction that I sit them and I only have a matter of time to shape and to sharpen and then to shoot we're to build character in our children who who is teaching my kids character listen to these words because they're very important and who's going to teach this to your children nobody but you nobody but you listen to these words courage character is all these words courage courtesy discernment fairness generosity gentleness honesty kindness obedience humility self-control patience persistence thankfulness who's going to teach our children that zeal for the Lord who's going to teach it thriftiness who's going to teach them that difference between between laziness and work we are assigned them responsibilities teach them there's a link between success and work put limits on your children while you have them in your hands put limits on their life the Bible said in 1st Samuel 3 and verse 13 that Eli sons made themself vile and he restrained them not notice this this father has children that are that are acting crazy and doing wrong and immoral things and he restrained them not the job of every father is not to just ignore and let kids go crazy and do whatever everybody else is doing but we are to set limits because while we have them we are to shape them we are to sharpen them and then we are to shoot them out with always our prayers on their life so that when they get out in college when they get out and there's all kinds of temptations they have discipline they have character they're sharp they're shaped and they've been shot with prayer in the hand the seventh hand goes with them and it will not let go of them no matter how they try no matter what they hear no matter who they get around if I raise them right the seventh hand is gonna go where I cannot go and do what I cannot do shout a man somebody 3rd John verse 4 says I have no greater joy than to know my children walk in truth send them forth understand that when God puts his hand with your effort you can't fail and many of you may be troubled about your children maybe you're listening to me today and you're dead and you your father or your mother and and you just are trying to raise these children the law of the house is you do all you can do and when you run out of of all that you can do and you hit your limit the seventh hand the mighty hand of God will come and the law of the house is only by me for without me you can do nothing of eternal consequence you can do nothing spiritually good I am the vine you are the branches and without me you can do nothing but all when that seventh hand is on your life as a dad as a mom as a parent as a businessperson wouldn't it be powerful if today everyone who has reached their limit and what they can achieve and do had the seventh hand because that's what it's going to take in the day that we're living in you need something beyond intellect you need something beyond ballgames and just being in their life and all of that it takes the anointing it takes the seventh hand it takes the experience with God to raise a Christian family in the 21st century and I'm so thankful I I don't have to fight alone if I'll do my best all I can get you know let me close with this but this is the truth the Bible says of Goliath that he was six cubits that means if if you were to take him and stack him up that's about one cubit six cubits guess what he was nine feet six inches notice that he's six cubits everybody say 6 the Bible City had six fingers and six toes 6 6 6 revelation says the number of the Antichrist is 666 and 6 is the number that man can produce it's human endeavor the devil wants to be God so bad bana Christ wants to be God so bad and he goes I'm gonna get there I'm gonna get there and he gets the six and it has to start over I'm gonna get there I'm gonna get there I can get to the end of what I can do but you can't do it without God and he tries it again and all he can do is keep hitting sixes he keeps running six is the number of humanity and so when David went out to fight Goliath it was a type of Antichrist and there that giant is 666 but here comes David and he's got the seventh hand and he takes a stone and throws the stone and kills the Giant but it wasn't just his hand he did every notice God didn't God didn't throw the stone you do what you can do and my hand will come on your hand and what you can't do on your own I'll defeat the Giants against your family against your home there are some of you listening to me today here in England and our campuses and online and by television and you got an addiction in your life do what you can do get help and as soon as you do you'll look out and you'll see here comes the seventh hand to the rescue what you can't complete he can complete he can bless the work of your hands when his hand touches your hand do you believe that do you believe that our children our children absolutely are going to serve God because the seventh hand is on their life and whether they know it or not they're already marked for the kingdom of God if you believe it give the Lord the biggest praise you can't hallelujah hallelujah I'm so thankful that we don't have to fight alone that God's hand the hand of the Lord can come on our house and our homes and our families maybe there's things going on in your home and your family right now and you're trying your best to fix it but your effort your talent your ability is not enough you can't make the family work without the hand of God on your house and I believe that this message today is one that the Lord wanted you to hear and if while I've been preaching the Holy Spirit is calling you saying I want to place my hand on your life I want to place my hand on that home in those children and that that husband or that wife maybe there's addiction maybe there's all kinds of things that such such problems in the family in the home that you don't know what you're going to do many of you are watching me and you need that hand of the Lord that seventh hand to come and touch your finances you've done all that you know to do now you need God to bless the work of your hands I'm praying for you today I believe it's about to happen and I'd like for you to get right with God today I'd like for you to accept and reach out and grab that nail-scarred hand and say lord I give you everything of God pray this prayer with me right where you are just say Lord Jesus today I receive that hand of the Lord on my life heal me forgive me cleanse me and I'll do what I can do I'm going back to you I'm turning back to repentance I'm turning back to Calvary and the cross and I'm going if you're not in church just say this I'm getting up but I'm going to church I'm going to I'm gonna do what I can do and I want that seventh hand that hand of God to come upon my life and upon my house father I pray for families right now for homes that need a miracle I pray for someone watching me who needs healing in their body and they've gone the doctor after doctor and the doctors have done all they can do but we've never seen you do all you can do God and I ask you to stretch forth your hand to heal right now in Jesus precious name Amen and amen and I believe that as you have surrendered your life and you've received that prayer by faith that God's hand is upon your life and upon your house you're not in this alone and you will overcome in Jesus name now if you just prayed that prayer I want to hear from you go online pick up the phone dial the number
