in the life and history of fellowship bible baptist church this year our church turned 40 years old and we had a number of events scheduled for this year as a matter of fact we had an event scheduled for just about every month in the year of 2020. we spent all of 2019 getting ready and planning for 2020. we had major worship events scheduled we had a marriage conference schedule we had a youth ball and a youth conference we had a church picnic scheduled all of these things were scheduled to celebrate 40 years of our church history and to celebrate what god has done in the life of our church within such a short time and then covet 19 happened coronavirus this pandemic hit we had to cancel and abandon all of our plans for 2020 including victory sunday around this time in october our event planning team would meet and meet and meet to organize and strategize where the horse is going be where where are the food trucks going to be where the carnival rides going to be how the games are going to be outlied this time of the year brings about a certain expectation a certain energy that our church has been engaged in for 15 years plus now fellowship bible baptist church has been identified with this signature event of victory sunday every year and now the pandemic has forced us to even abandon that that event is an annual event it's not just for the anniversary it's just a part of our church culture uh our city knows us by this event not just our city the country people have traveled from all over the country to attend victory sunday i can recall my first victory sunday here in 2015. i've shared with you before i was so overwhelmed by what i saw at 8 30 in the morning tailgating i was so taken by it i got out my car and forgot to cut the car off so i was so overwhelmed by the planning and everything that had been taking place you see this empty field is just a painful reminder of the effects of the pandemic you can't have a marching band [Music] can't have horseback riding no food truck [Music] can't have 2 000 plus people here so it's in the best interest of public safety so it's just not possible for us to do victory sunday so as your pastor i

person or you can access it virtually through their church's facebook page also as of today here in houston county the covet 19 cases is 318 the last time i reported that to you it was at 2754 uh obviously it has gone up but here's what we're studying now we're not just studying the cases going up we're studying the rate of transmission so the good news for houston county particularly the good news i'm glad to report today is that in our county we have had a reduction in the rate of transmission there has been a decline in our county over the month of september in the rate of transmission so as we see the numbers still going up the real concern is how fast are people transmitting and or contracting the virus there has been a decline in that so we give god praise for that and we thank him for that good news that is some significant good news but ladies and gentlemen i want to continue to encourage you wear your mask mask as much as people would like to make it it is still a biological issue it is not a political issue it is a biological issue wear your mask for the safety of yourself and those around you and continue to frequently wash your hands and use hand sanitizer and keep your distance as much as possible six feet or more so that we can continue to affect uh change as it relates to the rate of transmission for our coveted 19 in our local community amen amen some of you have asked about sacrificial giving during this year i have not given much attention to that because of the obvious priority of people's public health trying to minister tests trying to minister food and those things so i have not given a lot of attention to that but some of you have already asked are we still doing our sacrificial giving the answer is yes if you are led to give sacrificially those of you that are members of our church you already know we make an annual sacrifice unto god towards uh the liquidation of our mortgage and reducing that debt so if you're led of the holy spirit to continue to do that which some of you have and we want to thank god for you in all of our giving platforms you will give that amount under the label dome d-o-m-e it is available under all of our giving platforms um shelby next all of that so under the category labeled dome if you're led to continue to contribute towards our sacrificial giving you can do that under the label dome amen and finally i want to uh give a good god bless you to my own mother she had a birthday on yesterday and mother we want you to know that we love you we appreciate you happy happy birthday to you and we wish you many many more many more birthdays strength and health to you that's my angel so we give god praise for her i want to ask all of the members of our church and everybody watching everybody watching let's prepare now to receive the lord's table uh this is our day we designated to observe holy communion i want to ask every household every family gather your bread and or your juice that you have consecrated for the lord and let's prepare to receive the lord's table at this time [Music] so [Music] two two [Music] [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] when you're sick in is body you didn't make it this far by yourself [Music] [Music] [Music] on is night before jesus was to give his life the bible says that he took bread blessed it broke it gave it to his disciples and said take and eat thee all of it for this is a symbol of my body which will be broken for you brothers and sisters let's eat together this disperses it gives it to his disciples and says take and drink all of it but this is a symbol of my blood which will be shed for the remission of your sins let's drink together father we pray now that you will not allow us to eat or drink damnation to our soul but allow this time to be totally consecrated unto you we lift our hearts to you as we remember your death villains and resurrection and we pray now that you'll continue to use us as we're reminded of our discipleship and that we're reminded that one day you shall return to gather your disciples together and we shall be with you in jesus name amen hallelujah let's celebrate together [Music] jesus [Music] the one that healed y'all [Music] [Music] come on [Music] come on let's just worship the lord [Music] oh [Music] amen amen amen amen god bless you i want to summon your senses and invite your intellect to the book of genesis chapter number 26 the book of genesis chapter 26 and it is there that the holy spirit is highlighted for us this context of scripture beginning with verse number 12. genesis chapter 26 verse number 12. bible should read then isaac sold in that land and received in the same year a hundredfold and the lord blessed him and the man waxed great and went forward and grew until he became very great and he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and great store of servants and the philistines envied him for all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of abraham his father the philistines had stopped them and filled them with earth and abimelech said unto isaac go from us for you are much mightier than we and isaac departed there and pitched his tent in the valley of gerar and dwelt there and isaac digged again the wells of water which they had digged in the days of abraham his father for the philistines had stopped them after the death of abraham and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them and isaac's servants digged in the valley and found their well of springing water and the herdsmen of gerard did strive with isaac's herdsmen saying the water is ours and he called the name of the well esec because they strove with him and they dig another well and stroll for that also and he called the name of it sitna and he removed from there and digged another well and for that they did not strive for he called the name of it rehoboth for he said for now the lord hath made room for us and we shall be fruitful in the land and he went up from there to beersheba and the lord appeared unto him the same night and said i am the god of abraham your father do not fear for i am with you and i will bless you and multiply your seed for your servant abraham's sake and he built an altar there and called upon the name of the lord and pitched his tent there for their isaac's servant servants digged a well i want to snatch our subject out of verse 22 and tag this text give me some room give me some room ladies and gentlemen genesis chapter 26 holds some exclusivity in the bible because it is the only place in the entire bible where isaac is the primary person and personality of the passage as a matter of fact it is the only narrative in the entire bible by which isaac is the centerfold the centerpiece the central individual it is the only place where we have some lengthy documentation about isaac's life in every other reference he is not the central personality he may be second third or fourth he is a part of somebody else's story but in this chapter this is the only chapter in which isaac is the central personality to show one aspect about god that most of us wrestle with but is still yet true and it is simply this isaac from day one was the person of promise he was the person that god promised to abraham and sarah that she would have a son and he was the seed of promise but as you and i just read there are times in our lives where promises are accompanied by problems and you and i have to resolve as a thesis for this little easter speech today that god is the god of promises but also god often attaches a good promise to a bad process ladies and gentlemen that alone or to shout you where you are because it tells us that every process first of all is not demonic and secondly it is not designed to destroy you it is a part of the promise of god being fulfilled in your life god often attaches a good promise to a bad process isaac demonstrates to us in this lowly chapter that even persons of promise have to deal with things that accompany the promise that don't look like the promise but they're part of the bigger larger process you and i just read that isaac has to relocate according to verse 1 of genesis chapter 26 because there is a famine in the land he has to relocate to a place called gerard when he gets to gerard verse 12 says he sold seed and reaped a hundred-fold harvest he he he had a mass herds and flocks as a matter of fact verse 13 says he transitioned from being waxed great to being very great the bible says and the philistines envied him they didn't welcome him um they stopped up the whales of his father and verse 16 says out of envy they wanted him expelled out of gerard he leaves gerard sets up camp in the valley of girard a lowland on the outskirts of town and when he is there the bible says you moved me from my seed but you did not take my shovel he digged until he saw the whales of his father that had been blocked up the bible says those whales were unblocked he began to reap the benefits of those whales and the herdsmen of gerar argued with him over that well saying that the water was ours because it was still in the vicinity and the property of gerar they call that well esec which trans translates argument or contention isaac moves on from that digs a second well the herdsmen followed him and had an issue with that well they called that well sitna which translates from its hebrew etymology anger or accusation he moves from there and digs a third well and by this time it is suggested or at least implied that the herdsmen of gerar are failing at prohibiting isaac's progress so they finally stopped fighting him when they figured out they couldn't stop his progress he called that third whale rehoboth which translates the lord has made room for us and now he is celebrating finally that what he had been blocked from the whole time he finally gets at rehoboth i want to suggest ladies and gentlemen that the central issue of this pericope is not the whales the central issue of this pericope is space he had been fighting for space this whole time famine hit he had to move to another space blessing start to hit he had to move to another space first well had to move to another space second well had to move to another space and finally god gives him space that no enemy can take or trans or trespass on because the issue here has always been space and since you don't know how to get happy in your own place might i suggest to you that god's word for you today is that he has been prepping you for some space that no enemy can move you out of take from you or trespass on the space can i tell you ladies and gentlemen god has to give you space because he's blessing you see see space is necessary for people god is blessing when you have been blessed of the lord you need space for the blessing to bloom and blossom and god's word for somebody in here this year is that before this year ends i'm going to give you some space because the blessing that i have put in your life requires some space for it to live and bloom and blossom and when he gets this space the bible says he builds this altar at beersheba and the lord speaks to him and says i'm the god of abraham i'm with you and i shall be with your seed that's the story that we read ladies and gentlemen i want to share some things out this passage that are pertinent uh to our walk with god and we'll go get ready for game three of the nba finals but let me let me just share ladies and gentlemen that the first thing this passage is tailored to teach us church is that there are some proofs that give evidence to the providence of god there are some proofs that give evidence to the providence of god verse 12 of what we read says then isaac sold in the same year as the famine in the same year as the famine then isaac sold in the same year as the famine and reaped a 100-fold harvest let me pitch my tent here at verse 12 because it is critical to the movement and motion of this passage ladies and gentlemen we've got to be clear that isaac's sowing seed was not a divine directive god didn't tell him to sow seed he decided to sow seed in the same year of a famine you're going to get this in a minute he decided to sow seed in the same year of a famine it suggests that isaac believed that he could be fruitful in a famine that he could have produce at a time where there is lacking in the land but that was not god's directive for him to do that was his own choice by which you and i could theologically classify it as an act of faith it was isaac's choice to sow the seed but if you read this passage ladies and gentlemen something jumps out at us it was isaac's choice to sow seed in a famine which means that isaac did not have a famine mentality in a famine reality isaac believed that he could get something good at a bad time he sold seed in a famine but the text says we are only privyed to the quantity of the harvest we are not privy to the quantity of the seed we don't know how much seed is sold the only thing we know is that the harvest was a hundred fold thus ladies and gentlemen we can logically deduce that the harvest was disproportionate to the seed to suggest that the harvest was more than what the seed was that was sown isaac could control the seed he could not control the harvest isaac sold without god's command the harvest was given not without god's control i'll try it again isaac sold without god's command the sowing was without god's command but the harvest was not without god's control which tells us that the quantity of the harvest was not directly a result of the seed zone the quantity of the harvest was a direct indication of what god wanted him to have i'll try one more time this was not predicated on the quantity of his seed his expression of faith nor his obedience the harvest is what god wanted him to have because the first proof of providence is that the providence of god supersedes conditions lord have mercy today can i help somebody and tell you today that you and i got to come to grips with the fact that there are some things you have that you did not work for god will did so and there are some things you got to deal with the fact that people have some stuff cause god wanted them to have it that's what the providence of god is there are some things you have that are not the result of your prayer life they're not the result of your spiritual gift they are not the result of your biblical knowledge they are not the result of your faithfulness to church they are not the result of your fasting they are the result of the simple fact that god wanted you to have what you have you you're not getting me so ladies and gentlemen it means that isaac is one of several people in the bible who teach us the providence of god and isaac necessarily didn't do anything to get what he got because he is the seed of promise and god just wanted him to have what he has okay ladies and gentlemen can i tell you how important that is that's important because that ought to relieve you from being mad with people over stuff that they have that you don't even you think they work for but they didn't work for it god just gave it to him let me see if i can happen ladies and gentlemen since you don't believe me look look at the text look at the text the text says and the and the lord blessed him that's the real reason why he got what he has it's not his faith it's not his obedience it's the close of verse 12 and the lord blessed him isaac could only control his seed he could not control his harvest it's what the lord wanted him to have but if you keep reading verse 13 and 14 you'll discover that after it delineates all of his aggrandizement and after it delineates all that he has the close of verse 14 says and the philistines envied him you don't know how to read the bible so i'll help you read it if you got a real bible you will discover that the phrase and the philistines envy him is included and a part of and the lord blessed him you missed it i'll try it one more time verses 12 13 and 14 are all together and it tells us ladies and gentlemen that the blessing of the lord is not just uh sensitive to conditions and supersedes conditions but the blessing of the lord incites contention if you really been blessed of the lord you've got haters if you've really been blessed of the lord it includes people who are envious and jealous of what you have why is that the case pastor i'm glad you asked you want to know why that's the case get your bible here it is it is the case that people envy you because they measure themselves by what you have and not who you are i got a bible come here the text says that when they were envious of isaac the philistines were envious of isaac the text says in verse 15 and they stopped up the wells that his father had digged in the days of abraham and when they took an assessment of the measurements they said in verse 16 they said we need to get rid of isaac because he is mightier than we i'm going to try one more time he said they took an evaluation in verse 15 and they said he we stopped up the whales of of of his father in his father's day and when we took an assessment of everything that he had their assessment was you need to get out of town because you are mightier than we uh okay okay okay since you're reading the text slow let me help you i just figured out what the problem is and why blessed people have envious people around them i just figured it out come here come here y'all got a bible here it is the in the the when you read verse 15 and 16 it gives you an indication of where the envy was birthed from ladies and gentlemen they took an assessment of isaac's stuff they plucked up his whales they say he got all this stuff and verse 16 says go from us because you are mightier than we i don't figure out the problem here's the problem i really didn't do nothing to you for you to be envious of me the problem is you don't like how you see yourself when you see me i'll shout myself i didn't do nothing to you i didn't put no lie out on you i didn't sabotage your work the issue is when you measured yourself against what i got you don't like how you see yourself when you look at me and envy is your way of blaming me for your own self-minimization i am not taking the blame because you don't like how you see yourself when you see me ladies and gentlemen i want to talk to somebody in here and tell you the time has come for you to stop making yourself short because you see somebody else big you will always be miserable when you are measuring yourself against what somebody else got let me tell you something you will always have a place of envy and depression and a lack of joy when you're always measuring yourself by what god has done for other people the problem is not that i did something to you the problem is you don't like how you made yourself short you shrunk yourself when you looked at what i got not even considering that what i got i didn't even work for this is what god decided to give me ladies and gentlemen today is your day today is your day to be delivered from your internal jealousy yeah you some of y'all always act like somebody jealous of you when actually you're the one that's jealous i can tell because when god does something good in somebody's life your mouth closed your frown on your face you can't celebrate nobody unless it's you that's an obvious sign of envy ladies and gentlemen can you take a minute to show that you're not jealous by celebrating what god is doing in somebody else's life the real problem is that when they looked at what isaac had they measured themselves by what he had and not who he was and they didn't like how they saw themselves when they looked at what isaac had i want to take another observation i want to suggest that there's something else critical here in this passage um maybe lanine there are some other considerations as to why there is a spirit of envy uh because when we read this passage we don't see anywhere in the passage where the philistines sold seed okay i knew you weren't going to say nothing um we don't see nowhere in the passage where the philistines sold seed only thing we see in the passage calvin is that isaac sold seed we don't see nowhere in the passage duke where the philistines sold see so since i'm slow let me get this right you are aggravated by my harvest but you don't so see it strange church how people who don't sow seed are mad about your harvest i'ma preach myself till i get happy isn't it strange people that folk who don't sow seed are mad cause you gotta harvest cause you sold seed isn't it strange how people are aggravated by your rewards but don't want to do your work isn't it strange how people always don't like the fact that you get celebrated but they do nothing to be celebrated could it be could it be that you are aggravated because somebody else was bold enough to do something in a season of famine that you wasn't bold enough to do and because they believed god to do something exceeding abundantly above all we can ask of faith and god decided to reward their faith by giving them what he wanted them to have now you got an attitude isn't it strange how people who don't sow seed are mad about somebody else's harvest or maybe there's another consideration in the past maybe there's another consideration in the passage there's another consideration in the past church because maybe they're envious because they stopped up the whales of abraham which was isaac's inheritance and would have been isaac's continued legacy and his means of well-being so carol watson maybe they're envious because they see isaac doing well after they stopped up the whales okay still missed it maybe they're frustrated because they thought they stopped something and god decided to keep going on something they thought they stopped ladies and gentlemen i don't know who i'm preaching to but you got some demonic people around you who have secretly tried to stop your progress and every time they see you coming they all uptight and mad because you keep doing well when they thought they stopped your whales i need you to post in the comments and tell somebody when god blocks it one way when they block it one way god will bless it a whole nother way you thought you stopped my wealth so i wouldn't end up being well but here i am every time you see me i'm winning every time you hear me i'm winning every time you see me coming down the street i'm winning because what you thought you blocked one way god will open up another way it's strange i know why you're struggling because i keep coming and you keep trying to stop me here's what i discovered see ladies and gentlemen see some of y'all want to be blessed but you can't stand to be blessed because blessings bring about some problems preach in here told morgan have you noticed you've had friends when you was broke but when god starts to elevate you your friends dissipate have you noticed that everybody likes you as long as you didn't have nothing but when god decided he wanted to bless your life now everybody wants to have an issue with you ladies and gentlemen if you can stand to be blessed then you can stand to live in between and the lord blessed him and the people envied them that's really what the life of being blessed is about it's living in the context of and the lord blessed them and the philistines envy them and here it is ladies and gentlemen here it is there is some envy that comes along with being blessed because we discover that one of the fastest way to make enemies is to be blessed one of the fastest way to make enemies is to be blessed but here's the question here's a critical question hey isaac why did you let them run you out of gerard man you were doing well you had flocks and herds and and uh you had a 100-fold harvest and you went from wax great to very great we cannot ignore in this passage ladies and gentlemen that uh isaac left gerard uncontested he just he just left he didn't challenge it he didn't resist it he just he just left he's doing good as a matter of fact bud rich he rich he just left it no challenge no contest why you just leave why didn't you challenge it you doing well i won't submit that the reason why isaac didn't challenge it it's cause by the time we get to genesis 26 isaac has been conditioned to believe that god could make a way because by the time we get to chapter 26 isaac had just recently got up off of an altar on mount moriah watching his daddy getting ready to kill him and he has survived a knife from a familiar hand and he remembers that when i was staring at a knife from a familiar hand god had a rim caught in the thicket and if he can make a way one time he can do it all over again you see ladies and gentlemen you can't touch no child of god that has been in a realm in the bush situation because once god bring a ram in the bush one time you ain't sweating nothing else the enemy does to you you ain't tripping by nothing else because god that made more than one realm and if he can come through one time he'll do it all over again maybe maybe that's why you don't stop crying because there's a ram in the bush maybe that's why you stop being low-spirited cause there's a ram in the bush maybe you stop being despaired and desperate because you believe there's a ramp in the bush maybe maybe maybe uh maybe valerie maybe maybe isaac left because isaac was always under covenant i'll shout myself um see sometimes val your problems are not an issue cause promise was on you before the problem hit what shouts me about this text y'all is that whatever isaac is experiencing he knows that promise is a pre-existing condition and you have survived everything you survive because the enemy didn't know that promise was on you before the problem hit okay and whenever promise is on you before the problem hit promise makes sure that problems won't kill you because you can't die until the promise comes to pass preach toll and morgan you are not going anywhere because promise is on your life and when promise is a pre-existing condition you will survive every problem okay here's what we learn about god we learn that whenever you're going through something sometimes you just need to be reminded of the promise of god because the promise helps you survive the problems uh okay um uh genesis uh uh early in genesis chapter number 18 uh god promised abraham and sarah that they'd have a baby and uh sarah laughed at god like it's not going to happen so despite age and health and uh and and sin and unbelief they had isaac because before all of that promise was a precondition it was a pre-existing condition genesis chapter 32 jacob finally after all of his conniving tricking ways got the blessing he been tricking for because despite his conniving ways promise was a pre-existing condition uh first samuel chapter 16 when when when when david has been anointed king goliath and saul were not going to kill him because promise was already a pre-existing condition that whatever happened to him wasn't going to kill him because he had already been anointed king of israel uh jesus uh every time he talked about the crucifixion he never talked about the crucifixion without talking about the resurrection so it didn't matter what was going to happen to him on the cross resurrection was a pre-existing condition that night in acts chapter 12 when peter was in jail and that angel came to visit him uh he fell asleep that night he was scheduled to be killed the next day but he wasn't going to die because jesus told him in john chapter 21 verse 18 you're gonna live to be old y'all missed it so whatever happens to him wasn't gonna matter because promise was a pre-existing condition might i suggest to you ladies and gentlemen maybe you need to visit what promise is on your life because you haven't been sick and you still live you never been in jail and you still don't have a have a good uh a bad record you've been through every challenge but god continues to survive you and preserve you because there's a promise on your life you've been living in sin and you ain't dead yet from your sin because there's a promise on your life and thank god the promise is older than your problems god had a promise on isaac's life he is the seed of promise and nothing's going to happen to him until that promise comes to pass he is there now he says i'ma leave cause promise is on me and i've learned that god got another move so i'ma leave y'all want to fight over this i'm not fighting over nothing that god promised me you want to have it you can have it cause sometimes sir okay let me help somebody let me help somebody i need you all to post this and i need you i need you to post it like you got attitude uh isaac you were doing good you were rich you you you were flourishing in a famine why did you leave i had to leave because sometimes you'll never get to better until you divorce good the enemy of better is good and sometimes you got to let go of good so you can get the better preach told morgan sometimes i know it's good but god still got something better if you be willing to let go of good but i suggest to you church he lets go of good cause god got something better what you got better i'm moving into the valley of gyro in the low place uh and i'm gonna set up camp there and while i'm there i'ma re-dig my daddy's whales i'm gonna re-dig my daddy's whales he gets down there re-digs unearths those whales and renames them what his daddy named them all to inspire his people to go dig some new whales which means church that isaac had to go forward by taking a step back i knew you'd miss that i knew you missed that isaac's future depended upon him taking a step back his future depended upon him resulting to something that was behind him because sometimes church if you're going to drive effectively every now and then you got to take a look through the rearview mirror okay let me let me shout myself uh uh you you think every answer is ahead of you sometimes the answers are behind you okay cheryl you looking at me like i'm not talking to you let me see if i can get you here uh uh dr anthony fauci is is the leading biological immunologist in them in the world right now crisis has made him rise even higher than what he is let me help you about this this anthony voucher guy but he got two earned degrees one from the college of the holy cross in 1962 and another one from cornell medical university college in 1966. he's got two earned degrees and buddy got 45 honorary doctoral degrees from universities around the world 45 honorary doctoral degrees from universities around the world since 1984 he has been the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases since 1984. he's held that position for the last 36 years he holds it today he has been a scientific advisor to six u.s presidents not just this one six u.s presidents and after all of that notable laudable medical location uh education after all of that do you know what he told us to do let me help you he said in addition to wearing a mask and using hand sanitizer he said wash your hands frequently keep your hands out your face put your put your arm over your face when you cough and keep your distance y'all acting brand new that highly educated highly recognized physician only told us to do what your grandmama and your granddaddy told you to do when you was a child in order to prevent this the spread and so your life will have a future the educated man only said what the uneducated unknown uneducated folks used to tell us when we was kids they told us if you got any half a cents wash your hands keep your fingers out your face cover your mouth when you cough and keep your distance and stay home when you're sick in other words he says if we gonna have a future we got to go back and pull something from our past that we were raised on that's gonna help us move forward in the future every now and then ladies and gentlemen you gonna go forward if you take one step back and be able to use something that was already talked to you to move for he undigs his father's whales they fight over the whales they fight over the whales i moved out your city i moved to the valley now you don't come to where i'm at and go argue over something that's rightfully mine anyway they said the water is ours y'all know what isaac did cool i'm moving on they call that well esec because of argument he dig the second well they don't even say why they fighting the second will it just says and they stroll with him on that they call that sidner because of anger and argument have you are y'all picking up on something okay you ain't picking up so let me help you their real problem is not the whales their real problem is that they don't like isaac okay ladies and gentlemen if i moved out of your city why are you following me if you don't like me why do you keep chasing me everywhere i'm blessed [Music] the issue is not the whales the issue is the fact you don't like me but you can't stop my progress i can't get no help here see ladies and gentlemen folks telling themself cause if you got a life you ain't got time to be following me [Music] i can't get no help in this church if you got a life you ain't got time to be following me from well to well and from valley to valley if you got business of your own you don't have time to be chasing down somebody else's destruction because blessed people are too busy to be destructive i said blessed people are too busy to be destructive blessed people are so busy being consumed with what god got on their agenda they don't have time to destroy other people so i got one more question i know you're all tired but but i ain't preaching a couple weeks so deal with it uh if they follow if if i'm in if i'm in the valley marv and you're the herdsman of gyro and i'm out of your city you keep following me i got two questions are you trailing me is there a traitor among me if i'm moving and i'm not talking to you how do you know where i'm moving either you're trailing me or there's a traitor somewhere lord have mercy today in the camp and ladies and gentlemen isaac still does not fight what's happening around him he just keep moving until he finally gets to where god would have him to be good night god bless you may heaven smile on you is our prayer but here is the undercurrent of the whole story the undercurrent of the whole story is that the people who thought they were moving you away from your blessings are the very people god hired to move you to your blessing which is the reason why you can't get rid of them because they've been hired by god to shift you to where god would have you to be i don't know who i'm preaching to but ladies and gentlemen rejection is redirection when they shut you down in one place god only closed that door so you can move to where he would have you to be if they close that door that ain't where i'm supposed to be god is moving you to where he'd have you to be even if he got to use folk who can't stand you to do it every time they pushed him they kept pushing him to where god has made room for him and we know that all things work together for the good of them that love the lord ah yeah and are called according to his purpose have i gotten manchester wins in this police can i give you a little secret the people that are working against you are actually working for you have i got a win is here every time they think that they've thrown something your way have a real weapon against you is not going to prosper have i got to win this here because the only thing that you were doing was moving me to where god would have me to be he had already made room for me he was just using people that were trying to take you out just to shift you to where god would have you to be and when you get to where god would have you to be gone will make room just for you can you put it in the spaces and tell your enemy i got room made just for me and god has already allocated just for me i don't have to fight anybody god has made room just for me i don't have to sabotage anybody god has made room just for me and what god has for me it is just for me did you notice that when you get to where god wants you to be the battle is over and the blessing can still flourish when you get to where god wants you to be you can stop trying to fight people because he's made room just for you and the bible says that when he got to rehoboth he made a trick to be a sheep and the bible says he set up an altar the ultra means that it was the place of worship but it also means it was the place of sacrifice that when he got to where god would have him to be the bible sings it was the altar and something died in celebration of where he was does that sound like somebody y'all know one friday there was an altar on calvary's here it was the place of sacrifice because god has made room for us there's room at the cross there's room up in heaven when we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that's going to be but i'm not going to wait until i get to heaven i'm a given glory right here because god has made room which i'll do me a favor type it in the comments and tell the world i'm moving my furniture because i need room to give him praise because right where i stand is the place where god together withdrawal do me a favor look at somebody in your house and tell them neighbor excuse me i need some room cause when i think about the goodness of jesus and all we've done for me myself [Music] [Music] what they destroyed i said let every glory yeah [Music] [Applause] yes so is take some room right

jealousy today call their name out [Music] call their name out [Music] the way to be blessed is to celebrate who god is blessed i said the way to be blessed is to celebrate who god is blessing come on come on find somebody and celebrate him publicly before the world i need you to tell somebody god's getting ready to make room for you call their name out call their name i'll tell them god's getting ready to make room for you every time somebody close a door he's opening up another way [Applause] [Music] he's opening up another way rejection is redirection he's opening up another way to get you
