ones you prayed for a back problem or you know you may have a friend a loved one who has a back problem they'll pray for you on the phone and that is really wonderful now we're going to join the teaching today Sarah what is this about imparting the blessing oh that's important very important very very how do you do that how do we impart a blessing well I believe we impart a Blessing by speaking the blessing because that's what the Bible shows and God said you know to the priest he spoke the high priest blessing over the people he spoke it so instead of speaking ugly negative things we speak the blessing so but you'll love this because this gets very practical right where you live you know what are you speaking anyway life or death that's in the power of the tongue so stay right there God is going to change your life today you know I love this about what the word of God can do it can totally transform your life when you receive it in faith and use it so you either use it or lose it so this morning you've made a decision I know you have to use it is that true you didn't just come to church because it's a nice day you came to church to hear from God you came to church to be changed and you came to church to make a change wherever you go amen amen and if you're watching on television I want to encourage you this message is especially for you because we're going to talk about how we can impart family blessings God does not want families to be cursed he wants them to be blessed so as we look and you have your notes with you but as we look at this today blessings are not just to be received blessings are to be imparted so that's very key for you today and very important for you today very important for you who are watching on television and I'm going to encourage you watching on television to call in with the names of your family that we can pray over them now put your hand on your heart say I believe I believe I'm called I'm called to impart blessings I'm called to know how to speak a blessing to curse situations C amen so when we look at this we were going to go all the way back in the Old Testament to the Book of Genesis where God begins Creation with blessing and all of God's blessings really are spoken blessings so if you read Genesis 1 you find that God created the Earth and kind of gives it Peace by peace and he always said it's good but at the end of the creation he blessed it and once you bless something you speak the supernatural into it and that is very key so if God Did It should we do it absolutely and you're going to see today how you can impart that blessing how key it is for you and how important you are in the plan of God how important it is for you to be here today amen so look at someone say honey H you are really important and you are you are a part of God's plan you're a part of his Destiny this message is a part of God's plan a part of your destiny today so we look at God he blessed them that is so c key then he made Adam and Eve and when he made man and woman is that he blessed them he spoke his power he spoke his Blessing his anointing his wisdom into what he created so that was very powerful very important and I have found that you can speak blessings over situations and circumstances and actually turn them around so I'm going to go back when we started the church in a little store building on Hampton and I mean it's a crummy building it's still there I'm surprised it looked like it was going to fall down when we used it 50 years ago it's still there I think that's a miracle building but anyway we started in this building and uh we began to have new people coming to our church unsaved people and there was a family that came he was a school teacher here at a big high school and he came and his wife and they had four uh Teenage children children and they all got born again well they were very hungry for God and he made a decision for his family I'll never forget this father he said as for me and my house we will serve the Lord so he spoke blessing he didn't say well I got a bunch of jerks of teenagers I I don't know if they'll ever do anything he didn't speak a curse what did he speak a blessing now very uniquely uh he taught in high school here and his teenagers at that time I had our youth group it would be hard for you to picture me as a youth pastor but I was you know you do everything when you start you know we started in a building we had to chase some ice out I mean we did it all clean it up whatever and so I was a youth pastor and we had all of these wonderful teenagers and they began to win other teenagers and this family in particular of course he taught in a high school his children were in that high school they began to witness and they were getting a lot of teenagers saved but when the teenagers went home and told the parents you know I'm born again I'm a Christian not every parent was just slap happppy and so they began to persecute the teacher because they knew the Bible study was in his home they knew it was his uh children that were teaching the Bible study and finally the public schools put him out he lost his position and it was a real dark time he had his Masters you know wanted to go on and get his Doctorate was very much involved in music very talented very bright and what was he going to do but you know when you've made a decision to serve God God is going to bless you even in cursed times if you stay in faith that is very very key so he said well I'm going to believe God he'll work this for good in my life because I'm called according to his grace so in this timing U was starting and they sent the head of U here to our little church for enlisting professors and teachers and they enlisted him to be the head of their music department so he went from Denver public schools to being a head of the music department and Oru and he was probably there for maybe 27 or 28 years and the blessings all four of his children graduated from Oru free that's not shabby everybody say free and then three of them received their doctorates very unique uh this man has passed away but recently I saw his children that used to be in my youth group only they're not children now they're in their uh mid-50s and so I hadn't seen them for years and they said do you remember us and they told me the name I thought well how could I forget you and then they told about how their children are serving God and six of them are in full-time Ministry now you see once you speak blessings they keep going amen and so that's very encouraging to me and of course there are some great grandchildren now involved also so how did it start can you tell me how did it start when that teacher said as for me and we will Ser he imparted blessings with his mouth and in Exodus 20 verse 5 he said says the iniquities of the children are visit of the fathers are visited upon the children to the fourth generation of those who hate me but the blessings of those who love me go to a thousand Generations is this wonderful the curse that is worse can only go four but how far can the blessings go a thousand generations and we think oh my you know Jesus is coming I don't know if I'll make it that far but I'm going to show you in the Bible how there is absolutely Generations that continue and continue and continue if you begin to speak them one time I said to our son he was about 10 or 11 years old uh why haven't you moaned the lawn I've asked you four times why didn't you get the lawn Mo he said well he said I'm just lazy I said never say that about yourself he said well you say it all the time I was imparting a curse with what my mouth see the power of blessing and cursing is where in your mouth so point to your mouth say I have the power to bless bless and to curse C so I want to just show you how powerful this is and how much we need to use it on a daily basis sometimes on an hourly basis so let's see what God said he blessed them when Noah came out of the Ark and the animals and and his children what did God do he blessed them he said be fruitful and multiply now they came out to a very desolate earth the earth had been through a terrible thing how could they come out and be encouraged because God did what bless he blessed them and I don't care how bad your circumstance is this morning I don't care how sick you are I don't care how poor you are I don't care how depressed you are God wants to bless youen and when you are in a desolate situation look and see what God says and then say What God Says so Noah was blessed then of course we look at Abraham and God blessed Abraham and it says the blessings of Abraham are to come on Abraham's seed and I'm his seed how about you all right what does he say to me today well he tells me in Hebrews surely blessing I will bless you and what multiplying I will multiply you and so I just say well I'm supposed to be blessed I'm supposed to be multiply well you're in a time of recession well God didn't say in the time of recession I don't do it he just said I do it why because I'm Abraham's seed and that's very key for us to know [Music] today [Music] [Music] and then I looked at how people use this blessing and how the blessing went down from generation to generation so get ready I mean get ready this is just aw awesome in Genesis 24 60 verse uh 60b the second part of the verse These are the mother and brothers of Rebecca speaking a blessing over her now remember Rebecca's going to go back and be Isaac's wife so before she leaves and they ask her do you want to go she said yeah I want to go and they said our sister may you become the mother of thousands of tens of thousands and may your descendants possess the gates of those who hate them now did they know that she's going to marry the son of Abraham and Abraham God said oh your seed are going to be like the stars of the heaven the dust of the earth I don't think they knew all that but they spoke the blessing of increase and multiplication over her and she of course became a part of the generation Blessing of Abraham but not only had it been spoken to Abraham but her own family spoke the blessing over her what are you saying over your family bunch of jerks bunch of idiots I'm sorry they belong to me hey stop it speak blessing because we know it came to pass and is still multiplying and they spoke the blessings so it's not only God speaking the blessings but who else are to speak them we are and who are we to speak them over our our family stand up everybody's got a family right and everybody probably has some unsafe members in their family so we're going to speak blessings we're going to do what we should do according to the word of God say father father I thank you I thank you my family my family is going to serve God going to serve God my unsaved loved ones are going to get saved none of my family are going to hell I have faith for my family to be delivered from the devil set free in the name of Jesus Amen Hallelujah speak the blessing and it works generation to generation well let's look at another one and I think this is my favorite one and this is Ruth 411 and Ruth is blessed by her friends the people of the gate the elders neighbors and this is what they said to her and she's marrying Boaz the Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah the two who built the house of Israel and may you prosper in afraa and be famous in where Bethlehem now wait a minute they're speaking this to Ruth and Bois they said you're going to be famous in Bethlehem you say well why is that so wonderful because if you read Matthew 1 Ruth is in the genealogy of of Jesus and Jesus is born where where and look at centuries before this was spoken through neighbors and elders and friends what do you speak over your neighbors well they sleep in they're not interested in God they're a bunch of jerks speak blessing over your neighborhood amen amen speak blessing over relatives and over marriages when you go to a wedding you go and someone's telling you these things speak bless blessings say Well they're going to serve God they're going to do well now I'm going to share a little bit about my neighborhood but I don't want you to mouth it around cuz my neighborhood's just starting to like me even better and there are 10 houses in our neighborhood so you know I pray over our neighborhood because when I do the treadmill in the mornings I look out over the neighborhood so I'm praying for my neighborhood to be saved well we had a new neighbor who moved in this is several years ago and I went to call on her and you know took her a little gift and she was about as friendly as a frog you know not not open at all and uh so I tried a couple times to say things to her she just you know don't bug me leave me alone but that isn't keep me from praying amen and I don't have to be rejected I'm accepted in the Beloved and words can overcome negative situations so the other day I'm driving out of our neighborhood and and she's standing by her mailbox stop she said I said oh what is it and I put my window down she Saidi want to tell you I go to your church every day I said really yeah your church is a real blessing to me I said well how do you go every day she said I go to Club southa I just love him bless people set it up everybody say set it up and you set it up by what you say that is so key this morning so let's go on we see generations of the blessing of what was spoken by those people those Elders those friends but let's look at how blessing the power of blessing is irrevocable and of course when you go to the blessing you have to look at Jacob because when Jacob and Esau were born God gave a revelation to their mother and said to Rachel and he said the younger will rule over the Elder so there was a prophetic word a prophetic blessing so when they're born Esau is born first Jacob is second but Rachel knew and I believe you know uh that I'm sorry uh Rebecca knew and I believe Isaac knew about which was to be the blessed one but Isaac kind of got out of sink and he liked Esau better better and Esau and I understand Esau was more manly he liked to hunt he really could make good stew probably green chili and so it was a real wonderful thing he had with his son but Jacob he kind of hung out with his mother but he is the one prophesied to have the blessing so now it's time for the blessing and Isaac is setting up Esau to get the spoken blessing now that's not God's will that's not the prophetic blessing but he decided to make it his will so Esau goes to get the food and he's going to come back to be blessed oh my goodness Rebecca hears it she's just so upset oh she said you know we got to get Jacob in there and so she decides to help God how many of you ever helped God oh God you really need my help it's not happening so I'll help you bring this prophecy to pass I've been there done that and so she has Jacob go in and tend his Esau and Isaac blesses him and then Esau comes in and Isaac sees he is really deceived so it's really a bad situation bad circumstance and Esau cries out and says where is my blessing and this is what Isaac said then Isaac trembled exceedingly and said who where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me I ate all of it before you came and I have blessed him and indeed he shall beess he said I can't take it back and once we begin to speak the blessings of God folks they're out there working for us they are cooking amen and when he said surely blessing he will bless me and surely multiplying he will multiply me I have said that for 30 years and I'm still blessed still multiplying so stand up you might as well get blessed for 30 years are you ready all right here we go those of you watching on television do this now don't forget to call us say father father I'm speaking the blessing today I'm speaking the blessing surely surely surely surely not maybe surely blessing you will bless me bless and multiplying you will multiply me amen amen you can be seated now remember that's out there working those words are working they are so powerful so let's go on the blessing was irrevocable but then I didn't see this before and this is what I like about reading through your Bible every year you always get new things and I found out he blessed him again I didn't know Isaac blessed Jacob or I didn't realize it twice so Jacob is going to go be with his mother's people because Esau's going to kill him if he can and so he's getting ready to flee oh Isaac says oh I want to bless your future here you got some real bad things going on but I'm going to send you forth with a blessing and folks this touches me because this could have been very disappointing to Isaac he could have said well Jacob go on you've been so stupid you deceived me you know go out there and do your thing but he blessed him when he left when your children disapp oint you when your grandchildren disappoint you do you curse them or bless them he sent him forth with a blessing and so he went forth with that blessing now if anybody in the Bible knew the power of blessing it's [Music] Jacob [Music] family curses are very serious business because they can be mental emotional physical and even spiritual and it can go from one generation to the Next Generation they are generation curses spoken of very clearly in the Old Testament but Jesus redeemed us from the curse because he became a curse for us so the good news is that all family curses can be broken that's right mental emotional physical spiritual they can be broken and the Bible shows us this so clearly and who can break the curse you can by putting your faith in the blood of Jesus Christ you need to know how to break every kind of curse that is coming against you you need to because God's word can set you free and set your family free but even more than that and this is so exciting such exciting news you can begin the generation blessing because the the power of blessing is greater than the power of curse the Bible tells us the power of the curse can go to four generations but oh the blessing can go to a thousand generations and that's so important for you to know today not only can all generation B curses be broken but generation blessings can begin with you and I'm telling you when you see how to do this and when you begin to see how happens in your children and your grandchildren even your great grandchildren it will so bless you it will change you it will transform your life
