I'm sorry I'm messing y'all up Genesis 29 [Music] Genesis 29 and when you're there just holler at me and say I've got the word I don't know how many of that I mean of y'all that was I'm gonna assume that was most of you all Genesis 29 and we'll begin reading at verse number 15 and here's what the word of the look would say to us tonight Genesis 29 verse number 15 and Laban said unto Jacob because thou art my brother should style therefore serve me for not tell me what shall thy wages be and Laban had two daughters the name of the elder was Leia and the name of the younger was Rachel Leia was tender eyed that is biblical euphemism for it not good-looking hmm tinder I'd yeah but Rachel y'all know you see the but there which means an antipathy to the previous statement Leia is tender i but rachel was beautiful and well favored meaning the elder daughter not good-looking younger daughter a dime alright verse 18 and Jacob loved Rachel and said I will serve thee seven years for Rachel died daughter and labels and Laban said it is better that I give her to thee then that I should give her to another man abide with me in other words I agree to that and Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed unto him but a few days for the love he had to her and Jacob said unto Laban give me my wife for my days are fulfilled that I may go in unto her and Laban gather together all the men of that place and made a feast and it came to pass in the evening that he took Leia his daughter and brought her to him and he went in unto her and Laban gave unto his daughter Leia Zilpah he is made for an handmaid and it came to pass that in the morning behold it was Leia hold on something's wrong and he said to Laban what is this that you have done unto me did not serve you for Rachel wherefore then thou has beguiled me and you understand in antiquity the the while we in our modern day we get married and the veil comes off right before you kiss the bride mm-hmm in those days the veil was not removed until the marriage has been consummated yeah so he consummated went to sleep and woke up to a surprise and he said leaving you beguiled me you tricked me and Laban said Amen that you and you in the country that you know maybe you're not accustomed to what happens these are the customs of the country it must not be done so in our country to give the younger before the firstborn hmm fulfil her week and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve me yet seven other years wait a minute I had already given you seven years you tricked me made me marry the wrong woman now you're telling me you'll give me the other daughter the one I intended for another seven years Wow verse 28 Jacob did so and fulfilled her weekly as week and Laban gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also and Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid he went and also unto Rachel and he loved also Rachel more than Leah and served with him yet seven other years really interesting text father thank you you are good very good to us we thank you for it now father we ask tonight that you would speak both through and to us have your way be glorified for that pray today that your word would a defiance would educate us it would make us better and Father we thank you now that when all is said and done you will be pleased with our offering tonight and father we pray that as your glorified that the benefit will be given to us that we would be better we would be here we would be delivered we will be changed that our the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened so father we thank you for it now in advance in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray so according to the text Jacob worked for 14 years because he loved Rachel today I want to talk just for a few moments from the subject give it time look at your neighbor you're already scared look at look at your neighbour real quick and say neighbor give it time find somebody else and say what's the rush okay alright yeah I already feel where you're always is it's cool it's cool it's cool y'all y'all know y'all should know me by now y'all y'all know I read out of Genesis 29 I'm coming back there let me start with the discussion about time because unless we get a really good working knowledge of why time exists we will let me say it like this what you don't understand you will abuse and unfortunately in the modern day vernacular of church time is something that we really don't get not from a biblical perspective first off we have to understand that time is not eternal it is created time is a third day creation now I want to explain something very very very clearly here that God does not need time he created time after he had already created back it up say it one more time God didn't make time until he had already created he made light wait let me back up he made the heaven and the earth before he made time okay he said let there be light and there was light before there was time he separated the day from the night before there was time so God does not need time to create he doesn't need time to make he doesn't need time to heal he doesn't need time to deliver he does not need time for breakthrough he does not need time for us to be changed God does not need time this is an important narrative in this particular conversation because if God doesn't need time why did he make it anybody else asked that question maybe I'm the only one I'm not gonna be a little nerdy if God doesn't need time why did he make time if you read the book of Genesis the Bible says that God creates time for the sake of measurement and for the sake of expectation so God only makes time because he knows he's going to make man try it one more time God makes time because he is going to make man and man needs a a a way to measure the wind of God not the what of God but to measure the wind of God that time is given to man for seasons to understand when God does certain things not what God does this is this is important this is not about what God is doing or rather has done but this is about when God is unveiling it in the earth y'all all right so far so gives he makes time for season four measurement for expectation for hope are y'all with me the reason why we have expectation is because what God tells us very rarely happens when we hear it he tells us a thing and we have to live in time rather with time before we actually see what we have heard now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen so God tells me something and my faith says it's done even though I haven't seen it yet the reason why I haven't seen it yet is because time and His Word have not coalesced there has not been an intersection between what God has said and when I see it now what's interesting is because God does not operate in time God lives in eternity God never has to wait to see anything done we've talked about this before God does not have to wait to see anything done so when God speaks it happens in heaven because heaven is outside of time yes okay that was about for y'all Ecclesiastes 3 verse 1 to everything there is a seat come on hey I know y'all know it to everything there is a season and a listen a time for every purpose under heaven one more time to everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven now before you talk about everything that happens prior to under heaven let's talk about under heaven the reason why there's a time for every purpose under heaven is because everything in heaven is not bound by time so when God speaks it's settled the world Oh Lord is forever settled in heaven so when God speaks heaven sees it immediately because there is no such thing as waiting or gestation oh you're with me or German nation in heaven when God speaks as the word leaves his mouth the thing materializes in front of him oh you're with me so God in heaven doesn't need time and time does not impact God at all are you're with me so far now so to everything there is a season or an opportunity and occasion and a time for every purpose under heaven so that anything that has a purpose also has a time oh you're with me know the reason why this is important is because every purpose doesn't happen simultaneously purposes happen at the right time watch this which is why two people can have a great idea one person is successful before the other it is not that the other person is a failure is that there there is that their success has been allotted to a different timeframe so it is possible watch this to misdiagnosed failure because it didn't happen when we thought it would without understanding that it's supposed to happen at a specific time and some of us have lived under the moniker of a failure when in truth we're delayed [Applause] now I'm promised I promise we go into relationship in a minute but this is this is important this is germane to the conversation so watch this God is not bound by time here mean time does not impact the one who created it so God is not scared of waiting God is not scared of delay God is not scared of too late God is not worried about early it doesn't impact him at all presently God is at every place and every win try it one more time God is everywhere and every win yes so what's this so God is in your past here in your present and in your future simultaneously which is how God caught in Isaiah 46 and 10 can declare the end from the beginning how can God tell me what I end at or how I end before I have begun because he is there at the end telling the beginning what it will be [Applause] now why is this important this is important because we have to recognize that God made time for man but man in his fall did not take into account that time was still happening see because until the fall time didn't impact man like it does now because here is here is our present reality that I don't believe was a reality in the garden is that time whenever it touches anything that thing begins to deteriorate whatever time touches it deteriorates it one more time whatever time touches it deteriorates it atrophies it loses strength over time y'all with me so far now it is easier to see it when you look at food if you prepare food right now let me go back you pull an apple off a tree time starts working on it right you leave that if you leave that Apple on the desk a couple of days it looks fine but it's because the natural eye doesn't see what tom is doing to it you wait a little while longer the Apple loses its consistency it stops being firm starts being a little mushy leave it there a little bit longer it starts to smell you didn't do anything to the Apple time did now here's what's interesting the only way to to delay the effects of time is to add preservatives this this is important I promise can go on somewhere in a second all the way to delay time is to add preservatives now but the problem we're adding a preservative and there are multiple kinds of preservatives if you look at again this is food but it applies to everybody if you look at preservatives you have you can add salt you can freeze it you can vacuum seal it yeah you can radiation is a preservative not necessarily great one but but it's a preservative there are multiple other things that you can do to preserve food but here's the issue whenever you preserve a thing it changes even slightly from its original consistency so so watch this when you eat beef jerky is beef I'm not quite it's not like a you know a steak the consistency is different it's a little tougher things of that nature right because it's been preserved but that's the only way to fight time is to add preservatives oh you're with me so watch this time changes things and sometimes when we look at things at the onset we don't always see what it's supposed to be because we've not allowed time to impact it relationships are never what they are when they begin at the end okay truth is I've been married 23 years and I am extremely happy that I'm not who I was 23 years ago some of y'all don't even understand how profound a statement it is that your spouse was affected by time okay now for the younger ones who may not be married yet or the people who have been married some of us regret it getting married because we moved too quickly and didn't let time teach us what it was supposed to let's go further what happens in time in time there is James 1:4 talks about patience patience he says let patience have her perfect work so that you would be perfect entire complete lacking nothing so here being there are some things that time does through patience that we need for the success of our lives but if I don't let patience have her time hmm let me back up patience is a woman patience is not a man men are not as discerning when it comes to details women are a man will get dressed and not button his shirt correctly man will get dressed and I'm not trying to be vulgar but he will leave the house without zipping his pants because we just do what we got to do we keep it moving certain details are not important to us whereas a woman lets one thing be out of place I'm married to a woman I don't care how much advance notice I give her she is going to be late unless I account for her lateness in my advance notice because she's detail-oriented patience is a woman and she is detail-oriented and there are some things that patience is not going to say I'm done with until she's done with it and most of us have entered into some kind of relationship without the benefit of the time patience takes I wonder how many of us regret it not letting her work on us that's that's a hard statement ain't it there are some things I regret there's some people I hired that I shouldn't hire because I didn't let patience have her perfect work it cost me two thousands of dollars because I didn't let patience have her perfect world there are people I got into a relationship with business-wise that hurt me long-term because I jumped in at the behest of somebody who said they knew them so I didn't test them before I engage with them and regretted it because the one thing that was missing from the equation was time there are some things that God has for us that he knows we can't handle yet so he inputs the one thing we all want to deal with which is time knowing that time is a teacher patience is an educator the problem is we are students patience wants to teach a lesson but we don't want to adhere to it because there are some things in us that wants it right away and patient says you're not ready for that yet the Bible shows us plenty of times I'm coming to Genesis 29 the Bible shows us plenty of times of what happens when you get ahead of God when you move faster than his timing has allotted for you let's go to everybody's favorite psalmist David the king man after God's own heart got it wrong because of timing first off I'm going to Bathsheba here it is here's the first thing that was wrong with David the Bible says at a time when Kings go to war David is in the wrong place he's home instead of on the battlefield that's the first thing that he is mismanaging his time most likely because he has heard about the woman who bathes on the roof he does not know her name but he has heard of her renowned beauty she's fine and if you stay here long enough you'll catch her bathing on the roof so in a time when he should have been leading his army he was feeding his flesh and when he saw her at the wrong time the Bible says he goes in he lays with her and impregnates her because he is operating in mismanaged time good God Almighty David jacked up his own relationship with God because of a timing issue well he engages with Bathsheba now here's what's crazy now you don't call me crazy call me crazy if you want to but I've read the Bible and I see where God sanctions a child from David and Bathsheba named Solomon who is the next in line to take the throne and to perpetuate the line of David so that we can get to Jesus which tells me that David and that Sheba were purposed to be together but David jumped the gun because he could not wait you can surmise very easily that Uriah was gonna die in battle anyway but it's a call Uriah back from the battlefield to try to cover his mess and Uriah has more honor than David does and he says I know my brothers are on the battlefield and I'm not gonna lay with my wife while my brothers are on the field fighting David tries to get him drunk tries to send him in the Bible says he sleeps on his own doorstep won't even go in the house Bathsheba must have been I mean amazing if the man say if I see her I know what's gonna happen he stayed on the doorstep okay y'all don't read the Bible like I read it I guess but she must have been amazing you hear me it was like I'm not even gonna go in and look at her he lays on the doorstep and eventually David now conspires to kill the man so now David is not just an adulterer he's a murderer and a liar and a conspirator all because he couldn't wait what have we ruined simply because we didn't have the patience to let God do it it is possible to be with the right person too early it is possible to get with people who God says you're supposed to be with but you're not ready for them they're not ready for you and it's a mess and it takes you years for you to be who God intended for you to be because y'all got together before either of you had a lot had a loud time to work on you to let time deteriorate your immaturity see the problem is you think deterioration is only a negative thing but the truth is there are some things in us that we need time to work on time there's several things but let me live three time reveals hearts time removes blinders and time releases productivity time reveals hearts removes blinders it releases productivity time in fact is a major facet of every relationship and if you all that time hit that thing you really don't know what you have okay Jesus I'm trying to go to Genesis y'all won't let me Jesus picked his betrayer he picked him he taught him he trained him he discipled him he gave him power he gave him authority he gave him his money time proved he was a betrayer jesus knew what he was but nobody else that was his brother the other 11 disciples had no idea that they had someone susceptible to the to the wiles of Satan until time opened it up to them till time showed them the reality of who they were Peter didn't know he could turn his back on Jesus until time affected him the truth is none of us know who we are or who they are until time has worked on it y'all all right with that now the reason why this is important why it's germane to the text is because there are some things that are proven in this text that I believe have a major that time has a major implication on number one we know very clearly from our reading that Jacob is willing to wait he worked 14 years because of love y'all gotta grab hold of this his wages was marriage he didn't work for money he worked to get married back up say that again cuz some of y'all really didn't like that Jacob did not work for finances he had money his father gave him a dowry when he blessed him he gave him money you'll miss that Jacob showed up with money didn't need money he needed companionship he met Rachel fell in love with her Laban says you're only working here what do you what should your wages be and I'm sure labor was expecting Jacob to say Amen I need X amount of dollars a year I need six figures doc but Jacob said I'll work for your daughter's hand in marriage I love Rachel so labour says okay work seven years I'll give you Rachel in Rachel's hand in marriage the wife says Jacob works didn't touch Rachel didn't sleep with Rachel he had conversation with Rachel but he didn't touch her seven years waiting for the day he could consummate y'all gotta you got to see this they're engaged for seven years while Jacob works rules and waits seven years y'all just y'all see some of y'all can't wait to the first date I wish I would talk back but y'all act like I'm speaking French parlez-vous francais the truth is some of us are so impatient we we start engaging in ways we shouldn't the day we meet people but Jacob didn't touch her he did nothing for seven years y'all gonna grab a hold to this just so he could engage physically with what he had engaged with seven years in communication he talked to her he wooed her for seven years while he was waiting to engage in marriage with her now the question that we have to ask ourselves especially ladies I recognize that that in this economy of relationships the Bible even talks about it it says there's going to come a time where there is one one woman one man for seven women baba talks about that we getting close was seven seven women for one man seven to one those are good odds for him bad outs for you my dear female friends no those are bad those are terrible odds can we be honest for a minute in this modern economy he may look good but he won't do one of the three things that Jacob did he won't wait he will no no no wait wait wait wait he won't wait he won't whoa and he will work but I love him why why do you love somebody who won't work what will you and will wait for you how was he a viable candidate you've already been lonely you've been by yourself for a while it's alright to find somebody who will wait for you and prove to you he deserves you okay he that findeth a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord this infers that the he is a husband already the he is not a boyfriend that he is a husband husband's fine wives okay y'all don't want to talk back to me and the truth is your life he's a boyfriend you're not found [Applause] okay I need about three bold women in the room to tell somebody else say you may not be found you you you just think you are you may not you may be just as lost cover it up here so the issue is the issue is you're engaging with him and he's not met any of the qualifications that say he's good for you him looking good ain't a qualification it's a plus it's in addition to y'all don't wanna talk about to me see the problem is we are so visual in how we engage with people nowadays everybody is using you know dating apps and dating sites and the reason why we pick people is how they look they don't know what their ethic is you don't know what the ethos is you have no idea about who they are you picked them because it's a quick blurb and a picture and some of us are being catfished they look like what they they took a picture from high school and put it on their thing and they they in college that in ball didn't put on 40 pounds but Jacob the Bible says let's time work for him he waits for her he was her cos clearly she wants it like he does and he works for her now here's what's crazy you read the text the text says that the seven years were as days a few days because of how he loved her the time didn't even affect Jacobs love for Rachel you gotta understand see pass alright he already got my notes man come on the wooing was a preservative every day he talked to her his love grew my love can't wane so watch this the love isn't the same as it was when he met her because every day for seven years he's talking to her but won't touch her if I can't communicate with you physically I have to talk to you I engage your mind I engage your identity I understand what you want I understand what you like I understand what your desires are because I'm not touching you I'm the only place in on you I'm not touching is your body I'm touching every other facet of who you are by the time we get married I have touched every vestige of who you are except your body so when that connection happens it is organic because the wooing and the waiting and the working has already taken place but everybody say but but but but but there's a problem in the text because Jacob does all the right things but there's a loving father who understands that the elder daughter is running out of time don't don't miss this because if you only focus on the love of Jacob for Rachel you'll miss the love of Laban for lair lair literally means weary faint exhausted and his father is watching her hope for marriage be exhausted her hope for being a mother being exhausted she is faint of relationship because she's not pleasant to the eyes she's been overlooked because she does not have any visual appeal but she's a good wife and labor knows if if she can just get married she'll be productive if she can get married she'll be a benefit to her husband but men are being too superficial with her and the law of our land says that the eldest daughter has to get married first so Laban is in a conundrum Leia is worthy of marriage but she's not being looked at Rachel is getting all the looks but leg got to get married first so Laban says I'm gonna fix this I know how how how the nights go when you get married the veil doesn't come off and Jacob because he's been waiting for seven years is going to be eager okay Laban watch this took what he knew was true for Jacob and used it against him he knows he loves Rachel and that when they get married he is not going to remove that veil but he's going to engage in consummation as he should with his wife and in his excitement he won't be able to tell the difference y'all missed the revelation which is if you give it to him early the truth is he won't be able to distinguish between value and cheap between Leah or Rachel oh boy I know it's a little heavy but I think this is important because we have engaged in things hear me we have anesthetized men and women too authenticity through the abundance of the availability of coyotl pleasure so now they don't know the difference between a Rachel that is love or layer that's a trick and I'm here me and I'm not saying trick in the colloquial I'm talking about Laban tricked Jacob into being with Leah he doesn't understand that he's been tricked he could not tell the difference he doesn't recognize it until he takes the veil off in the morning y'all gonna understand if he had taken the veil off beforehand he would not have consummated with the wrong woman but because he was blinded he couldn't see the whole story because at this point he's being driven by his loins his love has been proven but now his loins are coming in for the reward of the weight and his loins have been tricked and it gets up in the morning removes availa go oh my god this is a tinder ID layer he expect you to be amazed by the beauty of Rachel and he's repelled by the tender eye of Leia and it goes the label it says man why did you trick me like that now here's a quicker side that's not necessarily in the text but it's in the text and it's that Jacob salt seeds of trickery and he did not know when those seeds were going to germinate and come up and break through the ground and give him a harvest he tricked his brother out of the blessing he bought the birthright but he tricked the brother out of the blessing and didn't know that those seeds were gonna come back when he wanted them to least come back that harvest showing up showed up in trickery and lazy-eyed lair and he's mad because he's been tricked but can't be mad because he's a trickster now Laban says okay you're right I tricked you I should have told you that our land has rules and regulations and we abide by them I had an elder daughter she needed to get married you good man the Bible tells us he's a good man Bible tells us that he waits he Woo's and he works what father wouldn't want their daughter to be married to a man who knows how to wait wooing work you're a good man I wanted my daughter to be married to a good man what better man didn't you Jenko says dude this is not what we agreed on I don't want her I want you to labor says tell you what he says you know how it is you get married you got to give the first week to your wife so give her her week then I'll give you Rachel he says but even after you're married to Rachel and laying with Rachel you got to give me another seven years Jacob says deal now here's something that the Bible is not implicit about but it infers it very clearly clearly Jacob liked slaying with Leah Tom those seven days taught Jakob something y'all don't want yo y'all act like it's not in the Bible those seven days taught Jakob something about laying she may not look good but something is good I got tricked but I got blessed at the same time want to know how I know because the Lord the Bible says opens Leia's womb and she keeps getting pregnant you can only get pregnant if Jacob keep coming back something kept him coming back clearly Leah possessed some skills that were beneficial to Jacob this is this I'm trying to keep this as highbrow as I can but the Bible says Jacob is willing to work another seven years but the benefit is at least I get to be with my wife during these seven years the one I love but the Bible says not only does Jacob loved Rachel but it's implicit it's explicit rather it says he loves Rachel more than he loves Leia so it's not that he hates Leia but he loves Rachel exponentially more than he loves Leia he loves Rachel because he wooed her he understands her he likes her he has good relationship with her Leia was ancillary to Jacob until he got married to her so he likes Rachel loves Rachel but like Slayer for what she can give him the Bible says that because Lea's hated or despised because she is not wanted by her husband the Bible says that God rewards the hate with a open womb hmmm I gotta quit what time is it Oh Lord alright he rewards her being hated with the open womb and she uses her productivity as a weapon to try to entice real relationship with her husband that he does not desire so she tries to use the fact that she was productive as a means to gain better relationship with her husband hear me this is our Lord help me say this right this is an hour a time a dispensation with where women are successful at a clip that we've never seen before and I'm not trying to be misogynistic at all I'm just acknowledging that women have broken through the proverbial glass ceiling they're entrepreneurs they're making six and seven figures they are heads of Fortune 500 companies women I wish they were paid like they should be I really do but they are successful at a level we've never seen before you got to be careful because people are attracted to your success Jacob was attracted to the open womb of Leah more than he was the appearance of Leah he didn't like her he liked what she could do for him so you got to be careful to not let your productivity be weaponized oh boy so here it is lei is trying to make Jacob love her he never will time taught her he won't love me ha did y'all hear what I just said that time is teaching you some things in your relationship pay attention there are some things right now that time has shown you that that you refuse to accept I love her I love him what did time show you though that time show you that they were dishonest the time showing you that they're never gonna budget the time showed you that they have a wandering eye men and women what does time showed you that you're ignoring lega didn't learn the lesson until child for she had rushes she got pregnant nine months birth pregnant again nine months birth pregnant again nine months birth three years of trying to win the affection of her husband and never learned a lesson until she got pregnant the fourth time and a full time she said now I will praise the Lord wait a minute you should have praised God the first time you got pregnant you should have praised him the second time he got pregnant but she was watch this manipulate God into making her husband love her okay read a text I gotta quit I've been up here too long I'm sorry y'all all right look look at look at verse 31 when the Lord saw that leah was hated he opened her womb but Rachel watches but Rachel was barren y'all see this rachel has the law but a closed wound Leia has no love but an open wound so Rachel looks good but it's not productive at all it is possible to like the good-looking one and miss your season of productivity because you let your eyes tell you what your spirit was trying to make you deny your spirit said not that one should be great on your arm but she'll be hell in your house y'all don't want to talk back to me when y'all go to the parties and when you go when you hit your little red carpet the pictures are gonna be amazing that's all you got because she can't hold a conversation to save her life y'all want to talk back to me but what you learned during that wooing session you refuse to acknowledge because she fine and vice versa tall girl he tall dark and handsome I mean look he's just a chocolate drop great but here dummy you trying to talk politics is that what you mean I don't vote you know what [Applause] you know you know we gotta break up let me go further you're saved he ain't trying to be he comes to church during the obligatory three Mother's Day Easter and Christmas that's it but I love saying he's spiritual because as he drinks he smoke but he fine how can he be your spiritual head when you are light years ahead of him in the spirit realm where the Bible say that the sanctified wife sanctify the husband is that's cuz they already connected okay y'all really man I mean okay I guess I come I'm have to hurry up cuz yikes yo if you read the Bible he says the sanctified wife sanctifies the husband the sanctified husband sanctifies the wife which means that they are already married why would you marry somebody who you know you're not equally yoked with they'll catch up they won't time has proven that they're too far behind you're running the race he don't have on his tennis shoes okay see if I got all my notes yes God rewarded Leia's hate with the open womb productivity is not a weapon it's not an engine to create attention from potential suitors but then the Bible says I gotta quit I'm sorry I've been a bit too long the Bible says Leah conceived hear me that we're conceived is not just about getting pregnant but that Hebrew word also talks about coming up with plans being able to come up with to devise plans strategies you learn how to implement did y'all catch that that the reward for the hate was you got a plan you got a strategy do not despise when you were turned down I'm try I'm gonna try that one more time if they turn you down look for God to open something in you that gives you a space to create I'm gonna say that one more time while you're not with them you're in a space called create devised some schemes some strategies some plans that while you're waiting stop having a pity party and figure out what God poured into you to release into the earth how many of us wasted time man because they walked away instead of using that same time as an opportunity to form a business to write a book y'all want to talk back to me to start a ministry to engage other suitors he dropped you so you can find the one who would wait whoo and work and you still mad because he was fine because she's a dime and you missing out on great opportunities because God will always reward when you're hated okay I mean here's the last thing when God rewards you with productivity don't try to manipulate God into bringing the one okay here right right then the text right there in the text she says verse 32 leia conceived first child and bear a son called his name reuben which means to see for surely the lord has looked upon my affliction now therefore my husband will love me watch this since god sees my condition he'll make him change towards me i think i said this earlier maybe I maybe I didn't but the creation can never manipulate the Creator say that one more time you play some song I'm done the creation can never manipulate that which created it you can't make God do anything hmm god I'm productive so let me use what I can do to make you change him we have wasted prayers time [Music] missed out on great moments trying to get God to make them love us and God says you didn't learn what time was trying to teach you I purposefully did not make it work and now you're wasting your weight on a mind that will not change I don't know who I'm talking to today you you're wasting your waiting period trying to get God to go into your past reinvent a relationship that never was going to work and you're trying to manipulate him with your present productivity God look at my tithing record now make him love me God I shot a really hard on Sunday surely by now he can love me God look at my prayer life I laid on the altar for three days straight surely she should love me now and God is saying I'm not going to be manipulated while you've been praying for them to come back I've been trying to send the one who was designed and purposed for you but you keep missing them some are sitting right next to you who you're crying out to I can't believe they don't love me and they're saying I do if you were pay attention [Music] how is it that you're trying to God please help me you're complaining to somebody who gives you their ear [Music] regularly who clearly is not with anybody else and you're like that's my friend maybe it's your purpose maybe is who God has purposed for you and he's been trying to show you through the wading through the wooing it don't feel like woman cuz y'all talk all the time but it's always platonic okay yes this is it I'm trying to tell you that you probably know who your purpose for but you're distracted by he fine she's a dime the weight taught you nothing and you're miserable your laya not in appearance but in misery because you've been missing what time was trying to teach you you are
