They were celebrating their sixtieth 50 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 6: birthdays together, and an angel suddenly appeared and said that 51 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 6: God was going to grant them each one special request. 52 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 6: They were so excited. The wife said, my request is 53 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 6: that we'd be able to travel all over the world. 54 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 5: Poof. 55 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 6: When the smoke cleared, she had tickets in her hand. 56 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 6: The husband hung his head in shame, said, my request 57 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 6: is that I'd be married to a woman thirty years 58 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 6: younger than me. 59 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 5: Poof. When the smoke cleared, he was ninety years old. 60 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 5: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. 61 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 62 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do 63 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be 64 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 65 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 66 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 67 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 6: to talk to you today about the yoke destroyer. The 68 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 6: word yoke is used several times in the scripture. They 69 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 6: were more familiar with this term because they used oxen 70 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 6: all the time. A yoke was something they put around 71 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 6: the neck of an ox to help control the animal. 72 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 5: It limited its movement. 73 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 6: The ox started to get off course, the yoke could. 74 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 5: Pull it back. It was a constant burden. 75 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 6: Even though the ox was very powerful and incredibly strong, 76 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 6: this small yoke could keep it from doing what it 77 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 6: wanted to do. Some people don't realize it, but they're 78 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 6: living with a yoke around their neck. They wonder why 79 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 6: they can't get ahead, why everything's a struggle. It's because 80 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 6: of the yolks that are dragging them down. Negative words 81 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 6: that were spoken over you can become a yoke. Every 82 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 6: time when you start to step out, you hear that parent, 83 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 6: that coach saying you're not that talented, you don't have 84 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 6: what it takes. 85 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 5: It plays again and again. Eventually you shrink back. That's 86 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 5: a yoke. In a relationship. 87 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 6: You want to love that person, but your mother got 88 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 6: hurt in the past, and the last person did you wrong, 89 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 6: and you just can't trust anybody. Another yoke. Some yokes 90 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 6: have been passed down to us. I know a young 91 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 6: lady that grew up with a father that was unfaithful 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 6: to her mother. She saw her dad run around on 93 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 6: her mom and made her so upset. 94 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 5: She got to the point where she hated her father. 95 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 5: She couldn't stand the man. 96 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 6: He'd brought so much heartache and pain into the home. 97 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 6: She and her sisters were confused, bitter, and angry. She 98 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 6: couldn't wait to get old enough to move out of 99 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 6: the house. At eighteen, she left home, got married, they 100 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 6: had several children. A few years later she started running 101 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 6: around on her husband. She did the same thing to 102 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 6: her children that she hated so much about her father. 103 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 6: That's a yoke being passed down all through life. These 104 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 6: yokes are trying to come on us, a yoke of depression, 105 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 6: yoke of low self esteem, a yoke of compromise. And 106 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 6: if we're not careful, we'll live burdened down. Everything is 107 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 6: a struggle. We're working hard, but we can't get ahead. 108 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 6: What's the problem. We have all these yokes that are 109 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 6: controlling us. And this is what happened to the Israelites 110 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 6: they were facing the Assyrian army in Isaiah chapter ten. 111 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 6: The Israelites had gone through all kinds of heartache. They 112 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 6: had lived out in the wilderness, been mistreated, taken advantage of. 113 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 5: Now they think, here we go again. 114 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 6: This is the way our life is always going to 115 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 6: be one struggle after another. 116 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 5: They had been wearing. 117 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 6: This yoke for years, so much so that they had 118 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 6: gotten comfortable with it. But verse twenty seven says, it 119 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 6: shall come to pass that the burden will be taken 120 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 6: off of your shoulders, the yoke removed from your neck, 121 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 6: and the yoke will be destroyed. God was saying to them, 122 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 6: this is a new day. You're not going to continually struggle. 123 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 6: You're not going to live defeated. I'm not only going 124 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 6: to remove the burden. I'm going to destroy the yoke. 125 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 6: From that day forward, they stepped into a new level 126 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 6: of their destiny. What they used to struggle with wasn't 127 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 6: a struggle anymore. That constant pressure to overcome enemies was 128 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 6: lifted off of them. God gave them favor to conquer 129 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 6: opponents that were much bigger and more powerful. Instead of 130 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 6: being looked down on and mistreated, they were respected and 131 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 6: given what belonged to them. 132 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 5: What happened the yoke destroyer showed up. 133 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 6: God is saying the same thing to us that he 134 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 6: said to them. 135 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 5: You've struggled long enough. You've dealt with that addiction long enough. 136 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 6: You've been dogged by those family problems long enough. I 137 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 6: am going to take away that burden. I'm not only 138 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 6: going to remove the yoke, I'm going to destroy the yoke. 139 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 6: In other words, it's not going to come back. That 140 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 6: depression is not going to dog you your whole lifetime. 141 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 6: That addiction that keeps getting passed from generation to generation, 142 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 6: the buck stops with you. That sickness that looks like 143 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 6: it's going to be the end. Now this is a 144 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 6: new day. The yoke is being destroyed. The burden is 145 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 6: being removed. 146 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 5: Now. 147 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 6: Some of you have been living with a yoke your 148 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 6: whole life. It's been passed down to you. Maybe you 149 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 6: don't realize it. Can't seem to get ahead, struggling in 150 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 6: your marriage, children won't do what's right, low self esteem, 151 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 6: that's all you've known. But God said to the Israelites, 152 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 6: i have seen the affliction of my people, and I'm 153 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 6: coming down. 154 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 5: To deliver them. 155 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 6: God sees every yoke, every unfair situation, everything that you 156 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 6: struggle with. 157 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 5: He doesn't just sit back and say, well, too bad. 158 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 6: No, he says, I'm coming down to do something about it. 159 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 5: You don't have to worry. 160 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 6: The yoke destroyer is on the way. God is saying 161 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 6: I'm coming down to put an end to that struggle. 162 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 6: I'm shifting things in your favor. I'm delivering you from addictions. 163 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 6: I'm removing the burden and setting you free to walk 164 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 6: into the fullness of your destiny. Friends, the God we 165 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 6: serve is a yoke destroying, burden removing God. And like 166 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 6: the Israelites, you may have struggled in an area for 167 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 6: a long time, but don't go through life thinking this 168 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 6: is the way it's always going to be. I'm always 169 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 6: going to struggle in my marriage, Joel, I'm always gonna 170 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 6: have to fight this depression. 171 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 5: I'm always going to be lonely. 172 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 6: Now, it says in the Book of Job that God 173 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 6: has set an end to that trouble. God has already 174 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 6: set an end to the difficulty and into the sickness 175 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 6: and into the loneliness. Don't get comfortable with it. You're 176 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 6: not going to wear that yoke your whole lifetime. 177 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 5: Our God is in the yoke removing business. 178 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 6: Now, let me ask you, what could you accomplish without 179 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 6: that yoke of compromise holding you back? What could you 180 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 6: become without that yoke of small. 181 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 5: Thinking I've reached my limits. I never get any good breaks. 182 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 6: Where could your family go without that yoke of addiction, 183 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 6: bad habits that keep getting passed down. 184 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 5: You owe it to yourself to get free. 185 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 6: You don't have time to go another year letting that 186 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 6: yoke weigh you down. Your destiny is too great, your 187 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 6: assignment is too important. You got to draw the line 188 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 6: in the sand and say this is a new day. 189 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 6: Every yoke that is holding me back is being destroyed. 190 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 6: That yoke of sickness that keeps getting passed down is 191 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 6: being destroyed. Just because mother had it and grandmother had 192 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 6: it doesn't mean I'm gonna have it. I know the secret. 193 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 6: The yoke destroyer has come down. That yoke of debt 194 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 6: and struggle is being destroyed. 195 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 5: I am the head and not the tail. I will 196 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 5: lend and not borrow. 197 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 6: I am getting this yoke off of my neck. I'm 198 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 6: gonna live my life free. There was a lady in 199 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 6: the scripture named ray Hab. She was a Canaanite woman. 200 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 6: The Canaanites were descendants of Noah's son. Ham Him was 201 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 6: the one when he saw his father Noah drunk and naked. 202 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 6: Instead of covering him up and down playing it, he 203 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 6: went out and told everybody made it worse when Noah 204 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 6: found out, he cursed Hand and all of his descendants. 205 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 6: Years later, this lady Rahab is a prostitute living in Jericho. 206 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 6: Her family is under this curse as a descendant of Ham. 207 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 6: She could have thought, just my luck, it's been passed 208 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 6: down to me. I'll always struggle, I'll always make poor choices. No, 209 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 6: she did something to break that curse. She got that 210 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 6: yoke off of her neck. One day, Joshua and the 211 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 6: Israelites were about to attack her city of Jericho. Joshua 212 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 6: sent two men in to spy out the land. Somebody 213 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 6: noticed who they were and told the authorities. Just as 214 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 6: they were about to be captured, Rayhab took the spies. 215 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 5: In and hid them in her home. 216 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 6: They said, since you've helped us, when we come and 217 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 6: attack the city, we're going to spare you and your family. 218 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 6: Even though Rahab had all this negative baggage so she 219 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 6: was living a dishonorable life, she made a decision to 220 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 6: honor God. That one choice changed the course of her 221 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 6: family line. That day, God removed the yoke that had 222 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 6: been holding her back. That day, God broke the curse 223 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 6: that had been in her family for generations. 224 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 5: Now here's how good God is. Rayhab went on to 225 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 5: marry a Jewish man. 226 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 6: They had a son named Boaz. Boas had a son 227 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 6: named Obed. Obed had a son named Jesse. Jesse had 228 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:38,359 Speaker 6: a son named David. This means Rayhab, a former prostitute, 229 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 6: is in the family line of Jesus Christ. This is 230 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 6: what happens when you make decisions to honor God. The 231 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 6: yoke is removed and you step into the fullness of 232 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 6: your destiny. Now, some of you, like Rahab, are one 233 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 6: decision away from getting that yoke off your neck, decision 234 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 6: away from breaking a curse that's been in your family 235 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 6: for generations. Don't put it off. You've been wearing that 236 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 6: yoke long enough. Today is your day. This is your 237 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 6: time to come out of that yoke of compromise, making 238 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 6: poor choices, giving into temptation. 239 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 5: You're better than that. You can set a new standard 240 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 5: for your family. 241 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 6: This is the time to come out of that yoke 242 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 6: of loneliness, those thoughts that keep telling you you'll never 243 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 6: meet the right person. 244 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 5: You're too old, it's too late. 245 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 6: Now this is a new day. Things have shifted.

I declare 253 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 6: that yoke is being destroyed. 254 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 5: God is doing a new thing. 255 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 6: He is releasing healing, forgiveness, joy, peace, victory. This is 256 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 6: your time to come out of that yoke of average. 257 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 6: God never created you to be ordinary. He created you 258 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 6: to leave your mark on this generation. God wants you 259 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 6: to do something big. He wants you to go further 260 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,479 Speaker 6: than anyone in your family. You have seeds of greatness 261 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 6: on the inside. Now I declare that yoke of average 262 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 6: that's been around your neck is coming off. God is 263 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 6: about to thrust you to a new level of your destiny. 264 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 6: It's going to be exceedingly abundantly above and beyond. 265 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 5: You're going to see the. 266 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 6: Yoke destroying burden, removing power of our God like never before. 267 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 5: This is a new day. Yokes of depression that have 268 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 5: robbed you of your happiness are being destroyed. 269 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 6: Yokes of sickness, chronic pain are being destroyed. 270 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 5: Yokes of fear. It's holding you back. 271 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 6: Lack of confidence, intimidation are being destroyed. That yoke of 272 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 6: compromise that keeps getting passed down like father, like son. 273 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: No, they're being destroyed. 274 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 6: From now on, it's going to be like heavenly father, 275 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 6: like son. If you will receive this into your spirit, 276 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 6: not talk yourself out of it, it will ignite your 277 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 6: faith and become a reality. Otherwise you'll think, oh, Joel, 278 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 6: that was good, I enjoyed it. No, it's got to 279 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 6: go beyond being encouraging to being This is from me, 280 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 6: this is my destiny. 281 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 5: Something new is being birth. 282 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 6: Yokes are coming off of me, chains are being broken. 283 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 6: I am stepping into the fullness of my destiny. That's 284 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 6: what happened to a young man in the scripture named Ishmael. 285 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 6: He was the child that Abraham had out of wedlock 286 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 6: with his maid Hagar. Abraham was trying to help God 287 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 6: out and bring about the child that God had promised them. 288 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,359 Speaker 6: In fact, it was Abraham's wife Sarah that told him 289 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 6: to sleep with Hagar. They had this little son named Ishmael. 290 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 6: And we've heard the teachings on be patient, don't get 291 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 6: in a hurry, or you'll give birth to Ishmael and 292 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 6: not the promised child Isaac. 293 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 5: But think about this. 294 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 6: Ishmael didn't get to choose who his mother would be. 295 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 6: He didn't get to choose where he would be born. 296 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 6: He couldn't help the fact that he was the child 297 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 6: of Abraham's mistake, and eventually Sarah gave birth to Isaac, 298 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 6: the promised child. I'm sure that Ishmael played with his 299 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 6: little brother Isaac. 300 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 5: They were in the same family. They didn't know any better. 301 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 6: But over time Sarah became very angry and bitter toward 302 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 6: Hagar and started mistreating her. Here Abraham is in the 303 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 6: middle of it, trying to keep two women happy. 304 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 5: If he's you. 305 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 6: Know, that's hard's If he's nice to Hagar, Sarah gets upset. 306 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 5: If he ignores her, then Hagar gets mad. He can't win. 307 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 6: There's all kinds of dysfunction in this family. You think 308 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 6: you've got some family baggage, it's nothing compared to this situation. 309 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 6: It got so bad that Sarah gave Abraham an ultimatum. 310 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 6: Either Hagar and Ishmael goes, or I'm leaving. But I 311 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 6: am not staying here with that woman, your mistress. Hagar 312 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 6: Abraham says, come on, Sarah, you're the one that told 313 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 6: me to sleep with her. She said, doesn't matter. You 314 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 6: should have known better. That's a woman. Don't do what 315 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 6: I say. 316 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 5: Do what I mean. 317 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 6: Abraham, against his will, he sent Hagar and Ishmael out 318 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 6: into the desert. I can imagine Ishmael is playing with 319 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 6: Isaac out in the front yard, having a good time, 320 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 6: like that done many times before Hagar. His mom comes 321 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 6: over and says, come on, Ishmael, we gotta go somewhere. 322 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 6: They start walking out into the desert with a loaf 323 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 6: of bread and a canteen of water. Ishmael is confused, 324 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 6: wondering what in the world's going on. A few days later, 325 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 6: they're out of food, out of water, about to starve 326 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 6: to death. The scripture says that God heard the cry 327 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 6: of Ishmael. Not God heard the cry of his mother. 328 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 6: Not God heard the cry of Abraham. God heard the 329 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 6: cry of this little boy born into dysfunction with all 330 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 6: kinds of negative baggage. But God had a plan for 331 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 6: Ishmael's life. God said he would bring out of him 332 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 6: a great nation. 333 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 5: Isn't it interesting? 334 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 6: Even though he wasn't the promised child, even though he 335 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 6: was seen by most as a mistake, God in his 336 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 6: mercy said, Ishmael, you may have gotten off to a 337 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 6: rough start, you may have a lot of dysfunction, but 338 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 6: I'm still your God. 339 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 5: I still have a plan for you. 340 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 6: I am going to ye remove that yoke that's holding 341 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 6: you back.

If you knew what I have to 348 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 6: deal with, if you knew the struggles, the dysfunction in 349 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 6: my family line, no just life with Ishmael. God still 350 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 6: has something amazing in. 351 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 5: Front of you. 352 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 6: No injustice can keep you from your destiny. 353 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 5: No bad break, no person. 354 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 6: The God we serve is a yoke destroying, burden removing God. 355 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 6: If you'll get your passion back and keep moving forward, 356 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 6: making decisions that honor God, he will still make something 357 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 6: great out of your life. No burden is too heavy, 358 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 6: no yoke has been there too long, God said to 359 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 6: the Israelites, after years of abuse and slavery, this day 360 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 6: I am ro away the reproach. God is saying to you, 361 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 6: this day i am destroying yokes. This day, I'm breaking strongholds. 362 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 6: This day I'm setting you free. I'm rolling away the reproach. 363 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 6: That means God is removing the guilt, the shame, the fear, 364 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 6: the intimidation. 365 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 5: He's removing the burdens, and he's releasing healing. 366 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 6: He's releasing favor, He's releasing new beginnings. In Genesis chapter 367 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 6: thirty four, there's the story of a young man named Levi. 368 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 6: He was one of Jacob's sons. One day, his sister 369 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 6: went to the town of Shechem. She was attacked and 370 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 6: abused by these men. Word got back to Levi and 371 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 6: his brother Simeon. They decided to take matters into their 372 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 6: own hands. Their father, Jacob, wanted to handle it more diplomatically, 373 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 6: but these boys were so enraged and so furious. Levi 374 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 6: went to the town of Shechem and trick the people. 375 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 6: He said that he had come in peace and he 376 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 6: wanted to overlook the matter, but that they would have 377 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 6: to make a covenant with Jehovah. That meant all the 378 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 6: men would have to be circumcised. 379 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 5: The men of Shechem agreed. 380 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 6: While they were recovering from their circumcision, Levi and Simeon 381 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,959 Speaker 6: went in there and wiped out the whole town, killed 382 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 6: everyone in retribution for what a couple of men did 383 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 6: to their sister. Their father, Jacob was so angry at 384 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 6: them they almost started a war. At the end of 385 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 6: Jacob's life, he's on his deathbed about to pass. 386 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 5: He calls all of his sons in. 387 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 6: Normally this is when he would give them the blessing. 388 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 6: This was extremely important, especially in those days. But Jacob 389 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 6: looked at Levi and said, I'm not. 390 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 5: Gonna bless you. 391 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 6: You are stubborn, hot headed, angry, violent, You trick those people. 392 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 5: You're just a deceiver. 393 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 6: Instead of blessing Levi's future, he cursed Levi's future. Years later, 394 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 6: Moses is on top of Mount Sinai. God had just 395 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 6: given him the Ten Commandments. He comes down from the 396 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 6: mountain side. The Israelites are worshiping a golden calf, having 397 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 6: a big party, celebrating dancing. Moses said to his brother Erin, 398 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 6: what in the world are you guys doing. Erin said, Moses, 399 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 6: we got bored waiting for you. We threw some gold 400 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 6: into the fire and this golden calf came out. 401 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 5: Something rose up in Moses. 402 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 6: He pulled his sword out, lifted it in the air, 403 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 6: and shouted, who. 404 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 5: Is on the Lord's side? 405 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 7: Now? 406 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 6: Of all the people there thousands of them, The scripture says, 407 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 6: the sons of Levi raised their hands, the least likely people. 408 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 6: Their father had made mistakes, their grandfather had cursed their future. 409 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 6: They had aled this baggage, all this dysfunction. Yet they 410 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 6: rose up and said, in effect, this is a new day. 411 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 6: We're getting this yoke off of our neck. We're breaking 412 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 6: this curse. We are on the Lord's side. Because of 413 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 6: that decision, God was so pleased with them. 414 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 5: From that day forward, all the priests would come through 415 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 5: the tribe of Levi. 416 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 6: They were cursed by their grandfather in the book of Genesis, 417 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 6: a few books over in Leviticus, they are. 418 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 5: The most blessed, honored people. 419 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 6: What am I saying, what's been passed down to you 420 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 6: doesn't have to keep you from your destiny. What your 421 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 6: relatives did, they may have made poor choices. But when 422 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 6: you rise up like the sons of Levi and say, hey, 423 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 6: wait a minute, I'm on the Lord's side. 424 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 5: I'm not under this curse. I'm under the blessing. 425 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 6: I'm not going to keep wearing this yoke that's been 426 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 6: passed down. 427 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 5: I know my God is a yoke destroying, burden removing God. 428 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 6: When you have that kind of attitude, God will bless 429 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 6: you and your family line in spite of past mistakes. 430 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 6: And you may have had relatives that really they made 431 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 6: it more difficult on you. 432 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 5: Maybe you're the first one. 433 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 6: That's really stepped up to honor God in your family. 434 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 6: The good news is the first generation that breaks the 435 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 6: negative cycle is the generation that gets paid back for 436 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 6: everything that should have been theirs. God is keeping the 437 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 6: record everything He has stored up for your family that 438 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 6: they didn't tap into. 439 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 5: That doesn't just go away. 440 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 6: God doesn't say too bad, they made poor choices, they 441 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 6: missed out on my best. No, God has been accumulating everything. 442 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 5: That belongs to your family. 443 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 6: If your parents and relatives would have honored God, if 444 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 6: they would have lived a life of excellence and integrity, 445 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 6: all the favor, the good breaks, the wisdom, the opportunity 446 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 6: that they missed out on is still in your account. 447 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 6: And if you will be the one to rise up 448 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 6: and honor God and set a new standard then God 449 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 6: will pay you back for everything that should have been yours. 450 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 5: This is what happened with the Israelites. 451 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 6: They had been in slavery for four hundred and thirty years, 452 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 6: ten generations. God raised Moses up as their deliverer. 453 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 5: As they were. 454 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 6: Leaving the country, some two million people, the scripture says 455 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 6: God caused them to have favor with their captors, and 456 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 6: they gave them their gold, silver, and livestock. They didn't 457 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 6: lead there empty handed, They left loaded down with God's blessings. 458 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 6: That was God paying them back for four hundred and 459 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 6: thirty years of working as a slave. So the injustice 460 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 6: he knew what they were owed. It was all accumulating. 461 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 6: When this one generation rose up and said, in effect, 462 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 6: we're on the Lord's side. We're not gonna stay here 463 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 6: in mediocrity. We're heading toward our promised land.
