I believe God has amazing things in your future. 35 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. I want to remind 36 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 5: the parents today that you have the ability to pass 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 5: on spiritual blessings to your children. You know, we can 38 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 5: speak the blessing to our children, encourage them, lift them up. 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 5: But there's another transfer that the Bible talks about, and 40 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 5: it's one of the very first transfers of blessing, and 41 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 5: it's called personal touch. You know, think about when your 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 5: baby was born or there's a baby in the cradle, 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 5: you pick that baby up and before that baby can 44 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 5: ever understand your voice of approval. He senses your touch 45 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 5: of approval. You hold that baby, you bring that baby 46 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 5: close to you, and you just show the warmth and 47 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 5: love to that child. And research shows that when a 48 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 5: baby is cared for and loved by their parent, that 49 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 5: their brain literally begins to develop emotionally and they begin 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 5: to develop properly physically. See, the power of touch is 51 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 5: so important. It transfers a blessing. We see this in 52 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 5: Matthew nineteen when the parents brought their children to Jesus. 53 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 5: They brought their children to Jesus so that he could 54 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 5: put his hands on them and bless them. 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 4: You see, he could transfer the blessing to them. Now, 56 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 4: we know. 57 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 5: That Jesus can speak a blessing. He healed people without 58 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 5: ever touching them. But this case shows that there is 59 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 5: a transfer of blessing also when you feel that personal touch, 60 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 5: when you have hands laid on you. 61 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 4: Now I know that from the time. 62 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 5: That our children were very little, Joel and I would 63 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 5: put our hands on them when we would pray for them. 64 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 4: We'd touch their. 65 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 5: Shoulders, we'd hold their little hands, we'd put our hands 66 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 5: on their head, and we'd begin to pray for them. 67 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 5: Ever since they were very young, and they experienced this 68 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 5: transfer of blessing so much that even now when they're 69 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 5: twenty one and seventeen and they're going to leave the 70 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 5: house and we're able to physically pray for them with 71 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 5: them in our presence, we still put our hands on 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 5: them and begin to pray. I can literally feel my 73 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 5: children lean into that prayer, you see. 74 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 4: I believe that they realize. 75 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: That there is a spiritual blessing that is transferred to 76 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 5: them when their parents pray for them and touch them. 77 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 4: You see, they literally lean in. 78 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 5: And I believe as parents, we need to have our 79 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 5: children understand that there is a parental blessing that is 80 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 5: transferred because we have authority, and God is counting on 81 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 5: us to use that spiritual authority to impart and release 82 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 5: the blessing in our life. We cannot underestimate the power 83 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 5: of touch. 84 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 4: Do you know what touch is. 85 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 5: It's a personal acceptance. It means there's no barrier between 86 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 5: you and me. If I reach out and I touch you, 87 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 5: that is saying there is no barrier between you and I. 88 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 5: It says in Genesis twenty seven Isaac was an old man. 89 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 5: He was a patriarch and he wanted to. 90 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 4: Bless his son. He was about to die. 91 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 5: He wanted to transfer a blessing to his son. The 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 5: scripture says that he literally called his son and said, 93 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 5: come close to me, Come close to me, And he 94 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 5: hugged his son, and he kissed his son, and he 95 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 5: transferred the blessing. 96 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 4: To his son. 97 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 5: You see, he not only spoke the blessing, but he 98 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 5: physically transferred it by touch. See there is power when 99 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 5: you lovingly touch and embrace one of your children. How 100 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 5: long has it been since you've given your kids a hug? 101 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 5: You know? In this passage of scripture in Genesis twenty seven, 102 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 5: it was Jacob who received the blessing that day, and 103 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 5: he was at least forty four years old when he 104 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 5: received that blessing. 105 00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 4: See, I don't know. 106 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 5: It's never too late to transfer a blessing to your child. 107 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 5: You may say, I hadn't really hugged my kid in 108 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 5: a long time, hadn't really thought about it. They know 109 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 5: I love him. 110 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 4: What would happen if you literally just gave him a 111 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: hug and said, I bless you. 112 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,559 Speaker 5: I want to tell you there's transferable power in that hug. 113 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 5: The parable of the prodigal son shows this. It shows 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 5: a father's personal acceptance to his son. You know the story, 115 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 5: The younger son took his inheritance and went off in rebellion, 116 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 5: spent everything that he had, found himself in the hog 117 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 5: pens of life, realized he had it no better than 118 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 5: when he was at his father's house. 119 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 4: The Bible talks about how the. 120 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 5: Father looked for him every single day, looked out to 121 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 5: see when he was going to come back. And one 122 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 5: day he saw his son coming from afar, and the Parable. 123 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 4: Talks about how the father stepped out. 124 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 5: With his arms wide and he ran towards his son, 125 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 5: giving him a loving embrace and kissing him in just 126 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 5: a minute. Can you imagine leaving your house in rebellion, 127 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 5: taking your inheritance, leaving your family's house, going to spend it. 128 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 5: How do you think you would feel when you had 129 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 5: to come back. I don't know about you, but I'd 130 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 5: be a little nervous. I'd be thinking, how's this going 131 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 5: to go down now? But something happened when his father 132 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 5: took him and embraced him and kissed him and blessed him. 133 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 5: You know what, It disarmed the shame that that young 134 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 5: man had it disarmed the insecurity. His father was saying, 135 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 5: I forgive you, and there is no distance between us. 136 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: The barrier has been broken. 137 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 5: You are mine and I will bless you. Can you 138 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 5: imagine the overwhelming feeling that that young man had. I 139 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 5: bet he was never the same I bet he never 140 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 5: looked at his own children the same and I bet 141 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 5: he never felt the same way about himself. He was 142 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 5: free to know that he had his father's blessing. Can 143 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 5: I just encourage you, dads, Hug your children, love your children, 144 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 5: just give them those big old bear hugs, because when 145 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 5: a father steps in his place of spiritual authority, there 146 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 5: is a transfer that only a father can transfer. And 147 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 5: you have the ability to make your children's life better 148 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 5: and more fulfilled when you step into that place of authority. 149 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 4: I tell you all this all the time. Let me 150 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 4: tell you, I say, hey, have you hugged your kids today? 151 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 5: Because I understand that there is power in a father's approval. 152 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 5: There is power when there is no barrier between a 153 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 5: father and their children. And you may say I never 154 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 5: had that, and I can sure say, Victoria, you're absolutely right. 155 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 5: But can I tell you that you can be that 156 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 5: father figure if. 157 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 4: You're a man today. You are that father. 158 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 5: Figure you can admit and transfer and release blessing in 159 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 5: people's life. I was reading an article about the University 160 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 5: of Houston's football coach Tom Herman, and he loves he 161 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 5: loves his players. 162 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: He's gotten in there. He's a pretty new coach. He's 163 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 4: rallied his team.
