waiting for a few other people to join us before we start the Bible study continuation last week we covered um four categories of dreams and simple definition of dreams from God of my dreams workbook is Visions passing through the mind while awake or images passing through the mind while awake is a vision dreams or visions or images passing through the mind while asleep so thus Day Dreams or night dreams day Visions or night visions but all of them originate from God everybody dreams but everybody's not saved everybody's not spirit filled but everybody dreams in fact researchers have said that even pets dream I don't know how they validate that but um veterinarians I guess are happy about that that even pets dream so we all have dreams but it's what we do with our dreams and over 80% of our dreams are of a personal nature for so for those of you that are looking for a word from the Lord on a daily basis start journaling keep a dream journal whether using your phone or your pen or laptop or how whatever and keeping track of your dreams nightly you will find that the Lord speaks to you through your dreams I did a series years ago that your answer entitled your answer is in your dreams so your answer may be in your dreams what you've been praying about what um things that you could not get closure or um that cause conflicting emotions while you're awake you could be healed in your dreams um get closure in your dreams take out the trash things that was just garbage uh your mind has a way of getting rid of that so dreams are valuable it's important to dream um the research has shown if you miss um 3 to four days of sleeping and dreaming uh it can cause mental health issues so dreaming is therapeutic it is important to dream Chanel Parker thank you for joining us other individuals as you're coming on don't forget share uh tag some other individuals invite them to join us for Bible study it is 6:37 Central Time 7:37 Eastern so I love that three the number of completion we're still in the sixth month and 333 um where God says cry unto me and I will show you Great and Mighty things cry unto me and I will answer and show you Great and Mighty things you know not of we are crying unto him we're looking for his answer we want him to show us Great and Mighty things that's one of the prophetic promises that came to us for the month of June that we when God kept flashing those numbers to me so as 637 737 7 God's number Perfection and completion we are a few days away from the seventh month according to King Gregory calendar so we're a few days away from God's number of perfection his month number Perfection seven the seventh month so if you're like me I'm trying to make sure that I get everything I'm supposed to get out of this six month everything I'm supposed to get out of June before June leaves remembering the 333 U completing God completing those things that he started in our lives that we're unable to complete or we tried to complete it and couldn't do it on our own receive that we're still waiting on that Lord for those that haven't received that we're saying do it in the name of Jesus and the 555 that kept flashing it continues to flash and for the last several days I wake up at 5:55 or I look over at a in the after 5:55 a.m. or I look over at the clock and notice it's 5:55 p.m. God keeps highlighting that major life changes positive major life changes I'm receiving that change my life Lord in a positive way in the name of Jesus feel free to throw up those hands and invite him and join me in praying that as well Lord I appreciate major life changes I appreciate and look at for positive major life changes there are some changes major changes that I need and many of you need those major life changes um 222 was another number that I saw prophetically that the Lord spoke to me to look for and to tell the body of Christ to look for and expect um the prophetic symbolic meaning of it in the month of June which represents miracles signs and wonders anybody needing a miracle receive that Miracle you need signs and wonders to happen keep praying it in keep decreeing it keep declaring Lord Miracle signs and wonders you are a miracle worker I need my miracle miracle signs and wonders for my sister Gloria I love her I need her Lord you see how she swn herself into my life to assist me in pain What miracles signs and wonders in her body overturn doctors reports and Lord work in coach D's life as well miracles signs and wonders you major in Miracles you're the same yesterday today and forever so we're asking you to do what you do best God work with the bodies that you have made miracles signs and wonders in Jesus name we claim it we decree it we declare it we will have it for all of those that are joined by heart and joined by blood work miracles signs and wonders in Jesus name okay guys we have prayed I play uh hopefully that you've invited some other individuals to join us and we're going to dive into this word open our heart open our minds Lord let us receive this word let it all on good ground let us use it to train our children our teenagers our seniors whoever is around us the unchurch as well as the church Lord that people will get the understanding from their dreams and it will alter their lives and make them Crave You and long after you uh if you have a copy of God of my dreams workbook you'll see the research that I did that the pharaohs and the Egyptians believed in dreams and they believed in following their dreams and they had all kind of dream books because they felt like their dreams would help them be successful in life so all the more so we should as Christians pay attention to our dreams there are a lot of individuals inventors that invented things because they had a dream and all of that information is in the workbook God of my dreams if you want to get you a copy just message us and one of my volunteer staff will see that and we will make sure that we get the workbook as well as the textbook out to you it's very very valuable I think it's a valuable tool to have uh ironically or prophetically I can say in the midst of going through some of the things that I've gone through since I wrote this book I found myself on the plane after Hurricane Michael opening my book and reading my own blook the research about um from Journey on about losses and how losses affect you and I laughed when someone asked me well who's the author who wrote that book and I'm telling them I felt almost embarrassed to say I wrote it it was research knowledge but now it's experiential knowledge because hurricane Michael has destroyed home and my church so I'm grateful to God that I didn't just write something that wasn't applicable and relevant to myself as well as other individuals and some of you may have seen the post at one point where little Lindsay Levi I forget how old he was and Donal Le and they were reading God of my dreams so it's a book that children can read teenagers and adults and it's not boring even if you have a doctorate degree it is filled with meat as well as milk it is filled with u bony fish as well as fet Mong um babe you can everybody can get something out of it it can really be a blessing to you uh Apostle Jones from Hampton Virginia I'm always glad to see your name thank you for joining us tonight so guys I want you to remember in the midst of this teaching and even afterwards if the teaching bless you so a seed so that we can be a blessing to others I appreciate the support Financial I don't care how small there's no gift too small or too large you can write it off on your income tax rather than give Uncle Sam all of your money why not sew it into good ground Kingdom business so you can reap a harvest from it okay all right let's dive in last week we talked about healing dreams calling dreams false dreams and chemical dreams and you know the routine are regulars I want you to put it in the comment section so other people can follow along I like um as an educated educator and a teacher I found people are prone to remember what they repeat and then it's a greater chance of remember if you write it and say it the chances are you'll committed to memory so to make it more relevant just join as you're joining me and listening to me uh use that comment section to list the dreams that we reviewed on last week um healing dreams that I introduced on last week healing dreams calling dreams false dreams and chemical dreams thank you I see that seed I appreciate you sewing that seed Alexandria and as we go along at the parts that touch you and bless you why not sew a seed and that will tell me that blessed me that I'm doing a good job and that you want to help others to be blessed so that your money can go places you may never go but you will get a return on it okay tonight we're starting out with courage courage dreams courage courage courage and when I look down at courage dreams today as I was studying over my notes of of the things that I was going to share tonight every time I would see that word courage I would hear this prophetic song that the lord gave me to prophesy in song to someone many years ago um in the 80s I want to say when we first building First Church courage and then after then God has recycled if we can use was recycling with God recycle that same prophetic song and had me sing it to other individuals be of good cage God's on your side be a good courage God's on your side and I remember ching with God saying I I can't sing you have a sense of humor I gave birth to singers married to a singer why don't you use one of them to sing through to sing for other people and he said to me if I sing it to you I want you to sing it if I say it to you I want you to say it if I write it I want you to write it if it's poetic I want you to whatever mode of operation however I deliver it to you I don't want you to alter it so that was what I um cut my teeth on getting past what other people thought and getting past my own sound uh and to this day now I just died right in as you're singing it so he's saying that to some of you that that are watching tonight be of good courage God's on your side be of good cour God's on your side and I'm hearing this part mountains are move by the words of your mouth mountains are moved by the words of your mouth he's making a road in your wilderness yes he's making a road in your Wilderness some of you are going through a Wilderness experience and the word of the Lord to you tonight is be of good courage God's on your side I don't care what the doctor said God's on your side he'll overturn every doctor's report and those of you that have been exper in a Wilderness experience a Wilderness where have you're surrounded by trees for you those of you that grew up in brick and mortar cities and you don't what Wilderness looks like it's trees and briers and bushes that you can barely move without a branch hitting you in your face and Briar scratching your legs uh you're concerned about stepping on a snake or a rodent or a possum or all of the fox Bears all of these things he's making a road when you feel like you're going through a Wilderness experience know that he is making a road in your Wilderness and key verse people this is a prophetic song that proph that God gave me to prophesy to people that were deeply discouraged about whatever they were going through is mountains are move that's why it is important that you be careful what you say your words have power mountains are moved by the words of your mouth speak to that situation decree and declare what it shall be I want you to uh command your morning command your evening command your night tell yourself be of good courage I heard that singing out of my spirit before I picked up my notes to study it as I opened my eyes there was so many things on my plate there were so many obstacles so much Warfare that I heard myself singing God was singing through me to me be of good courage God's on your side that is comforting to know that God is on your side whatever you're going through tonight God is on your side and I'm telling you be of good courage okay if I had time I would sing it again and tell you to sing it along with me but I don't have time moving right along courage dreams courage dreams those are given to build you up and to strengthen your faith courage dreams Build You Up and strengthen your faith faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of the Lord so there are dreams that will build you up and strengthen your faith and I want to show you in the Bible where you can find those dreams that will build you up and strengthen your face your faith I'm trying to get my phone I have to show it my face for it to show up and it's trying to steal my notes all this time they've been showing up and as soon as I go live we find you Satan we will not have my notes to disappear here in the name of Jesus okay and I'm trying to find the notes bear with me hold the quick notes I Cloud H and now they are gone where it was I promise you it was in my folder in my face studed over this these notes entire time before we went live and now I cannot find these notes okay so this is what we're going to do guys um I am not going to be denied God's on my side I'm going to open my bible okay judges the 7th chapter if you see judges 7th chapter uh and we're going to start at the ninth verse judges the 7th chapter and the um ninth verse and it's we judges 7th chapter 9th verse do not disappear just happen again but we are going to go right back to it no bear with me guys those that are intercessors pray with me this is just demonic interference which we bind in Jesus name seventh chapter and starting at the n9th verse can we go to church for a minute and I say say Amen when you have it if you have it 7th chapter and starting at the 9th verse well let me just start at the seventh verse and kind of skip around and then we'll go into uh expounding and breaking it down for you hi Melanie glad to have you tonight Whitney glad to have you immani Panama City I'm glad to have each and every one of you to be B of the Bible study do me a favor when you join us please share so that other people will join and and be a part of our Bible study seventh verse and I'm going to read from the csb and the King James version and the Lord said unto Gideon I will deliver you and the 300 men who laed who laughed and hand the midianites over to you but everyone else is to go home King James says it this way and the Lord said unto Gideon by the 300 men that laughed will I save you and deliver the midianites into thy hands and let all the other people go every man to his own place that's verse seven and then we're going to skip down to the um ninth verse and starting at the night after God has used Gideon to test me to prepare an army to separate them there was a certain uh way that they would respond on in terms of drinking water that was supposed to be a signed to Gideon who to select to be a part of the army God was getting rid of all of the fearful for those fearful individuals to be sent home the worst thing you can do is try to go into battle or into Warfare with terrified people anytime you're facing Warfare you don't want someone fighting with you even in the spirit realm that's afraid you must first build their faith a good example um when I had to have surgery and they diagnosed me with cancer I didn't tell everybody I told those people that I knew would be moving in faith and that would intercede in faith and not fear also having individuals that will pray according to the word of the Lord not according to circumstances and not according to what doctors have said and I love something that I included in Journey on that my son Byron said I think I called that chapter Byron said Byron said had I died in surgery he would have come back that laid hands on me and resurrected me and called me back from the dead that's the faith that I instilled in all four of my children that it shall be according to the word of the Lord not according to mishap that I won't die ahead of time i' already said to them I will come out of this so having the right people fighting with you is imperative it is important that you don't have the fearful and the doubters and you see uh in the the um reading started from the seventh chapter but from the very beginning I mean from the seventh verse but for all the way from the first verse as God is instructing Gideon as um Captain or general over this Army God selects those that are going to go to battle he selected those individuals by the ones that could discern the proper way to drink water those that cut their hands together to drink the water were disqualified because God looked for those that would literally put their mouth and laugh like a dog he said those are the ones that I want you to take with you Gideon so God selects individuals that will know how to intercede that will move in faith and not fear that will support you and that will move with one voice and move in unity to accomplish what God wanted to accomplish this was a natural battle that was orchestrated by God we're in a season where a lot of individuals are dealing with Warfare that was orchestrated by God it was a set you were set up by God to fight to be in this level of warfare that you are in whether you like it or not and God has selected people that were war with you that will War for you to win you have to remember that we wrestle not against flesh and blood against flesh and blood but against principalities powers and spiritual wickedness in high places so your fight is not against people your fight is against Spirits you need to be spirit filled and keep your spirit primed praying speaking in tongues studying the word singing Praise so it's a spirit to Spirit battle it's a spirit to Spirit fight when you take authority in the spirit realm you win in the natural realm I'll say it again when you take authority in the spirit realm you win in the natural realm it will be according to your words words have power words create even God the Father who sits in heaven used words to create Earth he said Let There Be and there was let there be light and there was let light and darkness be separated and at his word let there be let there be we serve a speaking God and we are speaking beings so we need to speak and put it in the atmosphere I shall not die but live somebody need to hear that tonight just watching someone needs to say that I shall not die but live to declare the goodness of God in the land of the living put it in the air so every demon will hear it so angels will move to perform it so that the cells in your body will obey it that your heart your lungs it is not my time it is not my season so I couldn't die eight years ago when I stopped breathing when I was in surgery my children didn't know that I don't think anybody knew that but I knew I remembered saying in my mind I can't breathe and I remember waking up and grabbing my doctor's arm and telling her I can't breathe and them giving me oxygen so understand that the word will fight for you even when you're asleep even when you're unconscious if you have enough word the word will fight for you so fill your tank fill your spirit man with the word so that the word overrides your faulty character bad character that it overrides the work of the flesh that the word overrides cancer cells and drive them out that the word over rise intrusive thoughts and bring them under subjection power in the word there is power in the word the word is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword don't underestimate the power of the word so back to this verse this chapter Gideon um the man in verses 4-8 Gideon must separate the men according to a particular test and God gives the test this is how you test him and they didn't get prior instructions they had to be wired to do it the right way to be connected there are certain things we have to discern and be wired the right way to be selected by God for certain assignments everybody doesn't have the same assignment know this every battle is not your battle know this every person didn't qualify for every type Warfare know what you are qualified for and do not step in levels of warfare that you would not chosen by God to be in know when it's your battle and when it's not your battle and don't allow anyone to talk you into that so as they lap like a dog the ancient Hebrew Hebrew word for lap is y a l o k y a l o k for those taking notes is used to imitate the sound of a dog a sound that a dog makes while he's lapping water those that lap like a do why would God give that type test because he's Sovereign he's God he does what he wants to when he wants to who tells God how to be God so the test was particularly military men in such positions were not on guard against certain surprises so it was to eliminate the fearful and those who thought first only of convenience and the easy way so there are are test that God will use either to promote us or eliminate us be sensitive to the test and be sensitive to how you should respond to the test God was testing them so they couldn't and shouldn't have looked at Gideon they needed to look at this was God they shouldn't feel rejected it wasn't that Gideon rejected them God rejected them so there are some tests if you did not pass it it is a Godly rejection and know that maybe God has another assignment we don't see where these people were punished that did pass the test but simply it's an written the Bible is written for our example there are 300 men I couldn't help but look at the 300 that was chosen there's that number three again three the number of completion time 100f three complete time 100 fold and God used 300 men so Gideon now in judges um seven chapter and tonight we're going to be solely in the seventh CH chapter because of the length and the amount of information the amount of meat and bones and uh substance that's in this particular chapter there is a full course meal including desserts so I want you to get it all out of here on this courage dreams chapter 7 verse 9-1 Gideon must spy on the camp of the midianites and find encouragement key word tonight encouragement Gideon has has to find encouragement there are times in our lives we can be selected by God to do something but we need encouragement we need some form of encouragement from him and from those around us don't beat yourself up over it you're in the Bible uh we can look at a picture of Gideon tonight it happened starting at verse nine it happened on the same night that the Lord said to him him being Gideon arise go down against camp for I have delivered it into your hands now this is something that you may toy with later on or I looked at it and said God spoke as if it was already done he said I have delivered it into your hands Gideon hadn't even fought the Battle and God telling and go down I've delivered it into your hands there are some things that God said I've already given you and you're looking for the ma the Earthly manifestation and in heaven it's already been settled he said I've already given it in into your hands but if you are afraid to go down go down to the camp with puron your servant and you shall hear what they say and afterward your hands will be strengthened this is amazing to me all by itself God knows our whether we are moving in faith or moving in fear God says to Gideon if you are afraid he tells him where to go he tells him who to take with him and he said told him what he will hear when he gets there there is nothing hidden from God God knows our thoughts before we have them he knows what we're going to say before we say it he knows who has a word in their mouth that will strengthen you or discourage you he instructs Gideon now if Gideon did not follow these instructions he would not have won the battle that God said he's already giving him the victory but if you're afraid go down and go to the camp with P your Serv and you shall hear what they say you'll hear what they say you will hear what they say the irony here is your enem is going to say something that's going to encourage you who expects that enemy to encourage them God can use anybody to encourage you and you will hear what they say and afterwards your hands will be strengthened God gives him the results of what will happen after he go go now look at this how many times have we gotten instructions that go somewhere and once we get back we'll feel differently but if we fail to go we think that God that it was a proper lie or that they missed God and it would wasn't that they missed God you missed the step you didn't go where he told you to go to get what you were supposed to get to encourage you so it's important to hear and obey and follow every word that proceedes out of the mouth of God you shall hear what they say and afterwards your hand shall be strengthened to go down against the camp then he went down with pum his servant to The Outpost of the Armed men who were in the camp he went down to spy on the army that he was going to fight against arise go down against the camp God wanted Gideon to find encouragement in his visit to the enemy's camp this shows that when God asked us to do hard things for him has God ever asked anybody on here to do something hard that you didn't want to do oh well I'll just say yes Lord and he doesn't fold his arms and sit back and expect us to do it on our own he is there to guide us and to keep us and to encourage us along the way he'll ask you to do something but he'll also walk with you and he'll make you aware that he's with you he'll give you what you need to drive out the fear to cause you to move in faith he'll give you what you need to encourage that will encourage you and strengthen you if you follow his guidelines again it is imperative that we go where he tells us to go do what he tells us to do when he says do it with who he said take with him out of all these men he told Gideon one person to take with him sometimes you don't get what you're supposed to because you took more than who God told you to take or you didn't take the right person so afterwards your hand shall be strengthened to go down against the camp this is a tender mercy of God he dealt with the doubts and fears of Gideon and wanted to assure him afterwards afterwards verses 12- 15 God reassures Gideon through the midianites let's listen to verses 12- 15 now the midianites and the amalekites all of the people of the East were lying in the valley of a numerous Locust and their camels without numbers and the Sands of the sea in multitude now why is this important God chose 300 men to come against men that was as numerous as Locust and Sands of the sea that is a you need a miracle all by itself for 300 men but God always likes to make sure that man can't boast and you can't get the glory out of it with 300 men nothing short of a miracle will give you the victory but God told Gideon and he's already given him the victory before he went a visitation from God and when Gideon had come there was a man telling a dream to His companion what God told him would happen is happening when Gideon show up time it time it he said I had a dream and to my surprise a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and it came to a tent and stuck it so that it fell and overturned and the tent collapsed then His companion answered and said this is nothing else but the sword of Gideon and the son of joash a man of Israel into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp now the midianites that his enemy knows that God has delivered them into Gideon's hands before the war starts one has a dream other one interpret it we're going to lose because God's not on our side God has already given us over to Gideon and here these people they're not Israelites they're midianites They don't serve our God but they pay attention to their dreams and they believe the dream means we're going to lose so and it was so that when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation that he wor worshiped he returned to the camp of Israel and said arise for the Lord has delivered the camp of Midian into your hands now he didn't encourage the people until he heard a man's dream and heard the interpretation I would have thought when he heard from God and God spoke to him in a dream that he would get up and say God said to me he made more paid more attention to what a human being said about the dream they had then God visiting him and speaking to it how many times have we paid more attention to what people were saying instead of the prophecy that God gave us by the inspiration of God but God visits midium visits Gideon Gideon himself before he goes down to this camp and tells him what he's going to do but Gideon gets more excited over hearing his enemy talk about the dream that he's had a half of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian what does that mean only the very poor ate barley bread doing that according to manag and Customs the vision meant that the camp of midianites would be knocked over by a humble nobody Gideon a humble nobody Gideon didn't feel good about himself the prophet said oh mighty man of valy Gideon had low Gideon had low self-esteem so he didn't feel like he was someone great so there was symbolism in his enemy's dream but there was someone skilled enough to interpret a a symbolic dream that was a symbolic dream barley bread was rather food for dogs or cattle than for men so what was God saying about Gideon to his enemy and therefore the barley cap would be the emblem of something despised a cake of barley bread might be worthless a worthless thing but if God was is behind it it is not worthless he'll take something worthless and something that you will Overlook and think nothing of and use it to destroy you being Gideon someone that they considered worthless insignificant that you would give to dogs barley bread but God uses his barley bread to knock down tents and to destroy an army of men that is as numerous as the um Sands of the sea as numerous as Locust numerous Locust and God uses 300 men with Gideon leading them so here's a sideb leaders need more time with God and more Revelation from God and leaders need more encouragement through dreams if this one man hadn't talked about his dream and another man interpreted the dream Gideon would not have heard what he needed to hear to encourage him and if he hadn't heard the instructions from God where to be at the right time to hear these men I call God sometimes the Puppet Master pulling the strings to have them talk at just the right time when Gideon shows up to hear what he needs to hear sometimes your answer may be in your enemy's mouth they're not for you but God still uses them to work in your favor this is nothing else but the sword of Gideon God allowed Gideon to see the great confirmation of his future work this was obviously no coincidence and no display of love God uses this situation to build the faith of Gideon and it work as well so Gideon could worship God it made him worship God hearing that God can use his enemy to prophesy to him there was no accident that this man was speaking at this time it was no it wasn't by chance that this happened it must have built the faith of Gideon to know that his enemies were afraid of him it changed the Dynamics it Gideon was first afraid of them now Gideon has Faith because as numerous as they are his enemies are afraid of him when we are weak in faith we often make our enemies stronger than they really are have you ever done that you magnify things you make them bigger than what they really are and God is bigger than any any situation he's greater than any situation but if we leave it to chance and our erroneous intrusive thoughts they will beat us down and have us quivering and terrified and hysterical over a battle that has already been fixed a war that has already been W that God has already declared the outcome what was the last word the Lord said on to you in a Dream It Build his faith we could say that the Devil Himself was Afra is afraid of normal Christians or at least he's afraid of what they could become the enemy is afraid of what you may become if you don't move in faith so he's hoping that you will base um your movement your outcome on external circumstances that you'll watch people people instead of God that you obey um and operate out of fear based on what you see instead of what God said we should take it to heart our enemies both human and spiritual are at the core afraid of us they're afraid of you so this is to those that are discouraged tonight arise for the Lord has delivered the camp of midians into your

situation I'm seeing these eyes that are watching now in the spirit realm as I teach and it's the eyes of the Lord that's looking down on your situation he's looking at what's happening financially what's happening to you emotionally what's happening to you physically he is the god that sees and he's not just a God that sees but he's a God that hears and answers remember 333 in the month of June

yes hold holding on I need your help Deon Renee streaming on all platforms get that some of you are holding on holding on tight holding on just for a night my God don't get me into those songs I will be out of the Bible study I'm holding on I know I said her other songs were my songs but these are my songs too it it is because it's so prophetic I used them as Warfare tools I used them to do what he said long before he said 333 and kept repeating it for the month of June I was crying out and saying God you promis you would hear you promis you would answer I need you to hear and answer and just as Hagar was running from Sarah and in the wilderness and you heard the Cry of the child um I need you to hear me and I need you to answer God you see me so I want you to use the tools that you have and use this word when we're talking about dreams don't underestimate the value of Dreams knowing that God wants to build you up and give you an inheritance I see that seed three times Grace Joseline send it back to her now in Jesus name Lord multiply it back but here watch your dreams it's a very pivotal time it's crucial that you pay attention to your dreams I feel this arm nudging some people and I have this sense of during the night you're being nudged and then I feel this hand shaking a foot and during the night it's the angel of the Lord shaking you to wake you up to make you sensitive to what's happening in the spirit realm but also he's showing up in your dreams there are certain times you're resisting sleep that you need to give in to sleep SE because the god of your dreams is waiting for you in your dreams to give you the Revelation that you need to give you the direction that you need to give you the information that you need to give you the battle strategy that you need um one other scripture I don't know if I'll get chance to get through it tonight but Genesis the 31st chapter I love Genesis is the seed bed the origin the beginning uh it is a seed bed for all of the other books of the Bible Genesis 31: 4 through3 if we look at Genesis 31 4-13 that is also a courage dream a courage dream Genesis 31 got it 31 are you with me do you have it say I have it when I have it when you have it you have it 31 Genesis 31 and we're reading from verses four we look at verses four and the Lord said to him is God talking to Gideon in judges he is God talking to Jacob in Genesis Jacob saw lean's face and what his attitude toward him was not the same as before Jacob notice that I'm working for someone that has a bad attitude somebody has a supervisor and a a boss that has a bad attitude you notice their face when you come in the room you notice how they act there is a word for you tonight here is your word Jacob saw their face but the powerful blessing in that is Jacob saw it but God saw it before Jacob saw it and God responded to his how he responded April I see that seed give her 100 fold return now in Jesus name her her husband and the children in the name of Jesus so it back into them and Jacob saw lean's face and his attitude toward him was not the same as it was before the Lord said to him go back to the land of your ancestors and to your family and I will be with you somebody need to put that in the comment section and I will be with you and make it a personal affirmation and God will be with me any place that he sends me back to God will be with with me I'm not being demoted I'm not regressing God is sending me back for a purpose for a reason for increase God has a plan for my life he tells him to go back to the L to of your ancestors your family and when you go I'll be with you who doesn't need to know that God is going to be with him I don't move before I hear you're going to be with me on the plane on the highway God when I pull out the driveway if you're not going to be with me I'm of the persuasion because I'm a Seer if I can't see it and know he's going to be with me I don't move because if I don't see it then I can't see my way home and see myself safe so God assures him that I will be with you Jacob had Rachel and Leah called to the field where his flocks were and I'm reading this from the csb for the sake of time and he said to them I can see see again what are you looking at I can see from your father's face that his attitude toward me is not the same as it was before but the god of my fathers has been with me oh that's a Glory Hallelujah moment but God is with me tell somebody or say out loud when you go to work your attitude may be different but God is with me well don't say it in that Facebook you can just say it under your breath your attitude may be different but God is with you whether it's a family member a job wherever that the attitude changes the important thing is knowing that God is with you verse six you know that with all my strength I have served you father this is Jacob and that he has cheated me and changed my wages 10 times here's where you have a little talk with Jesus God's talking to you and then you're responding after he talks to you I'm with you but Lord you know that with all my strength I have served you and that he has cheated me and changed my wages 10 times but God has not let him and he's telling his wives this I'm sorry he's telling his wives this and but God has not let him harm me God didn't let whoever tried to cheat you harm you you may have had some people try to cheat you out of your inheritance cheat your mother cheat your sister cheat your brother they tried to cheat you out of your promotion what belongs to you but God didn't let them harm you somebody need to say but God but God had not the Lord been on my side they wanted to fire me but God didn't let them they wanted to demote me but God didn't let them they wanted to lay me off but God didn't let them they wanted to wipe me out and leave me in the poor house and fle me but God didn't let them I feel a but God moment they would have taken everything I had had not God been on my side glory to God hallelujah verse seven and he has cheated me and changed my wages 10 times but God has not let him harm me he worked over and over trying to harm him but the battle was in God's hands if he said the spoted Sheep would be your wages then all the Sheep were born spotted if he said if the street sheep will be your wages then all the Sheep were born Street God has taken away your father's herds and given them to me what a testimony God is taken away from the very person that's tried to cheat you and demote you God fired them and promote you and give you their job God has taken away what they had and gave it to you and will give it to you so you need to celebrate the fact that when you serve God with all your heart and all your mind this is encouragement and he's encouraging his wives he's Jacob is making his wives aware of what their fathers doing this is his father-in-law and then he's making them aware that the difference is had God not been on my side your father would have taken what belonged to me I would have been in poverty this cattle represented wel so he was trying to uh put him in poverty to deprive him of wealth those individuals that are trying to deprive you of your Investments it will not work because God is with you those that serve them God will not allow them to cause you to impoverish you he will not allow them to take away the wealth I don't care how much trickery they use we see this in the scripture God was with Jacob put your hand on yourself and say God is also with me verse 9 and God has taken away your father's her and given them to me and when the flocks were breeding I saw in a dream here we are that dream I saw in a dream that the street spotted and speckled males were mating with the females in that dream the angel of God said to me Jacob and I said here am I and he said look up and see all the males that are mating with the flocks are sted spotted and speced for I have seen all that lean has been doing to you the god that sees I saw it Jac and because I saw it let me tell you what I'm going to do I'm going to work in the cattle and work in the herd that they will make with who I said make with so they will produce what I want them to produce so that everything that they give birth to will be yours that I will use your father-in-law's words against him to prosper you and I am verse 13 I am the god of bethl where you poured oil on the stone marker and made a solemn vow to me God remembers your vow God remembers where you are I feel a shout on that a prophetic Place God remembers the place you were in when you told him you would do such and such and God because of your vow then he makes Covenant with you Covenant month the month of June Covenant and you made a solemn vow to me get up and leave this land and return to your native land so God remember the bow God remember what you promised him and as a result of it God remembered the offering this was an offering that Jacob made at bethl the word bethl means the house of God and God remembered the offering I'm closing in telling you God remembers your offering he remember the offering that you poured out before him the offering that you gave him he remember what you said to him God if you do this for me if you bless me and all the places that I go and bring me back to this place then I will worship you and I will serve you Lord if you give me my life I said to the Lord when I was diagnosed with cancer endometrial cancer over eight years ago now I said if you give me my life if you give me my health God I'll go where you tell me to go I'll do what you tell me to do if they can afford it I'll go if they can't afford it I'll pay my own way if you not just give me my life but give me my health so that I can be independent and I thought about that vow I made to God over eight years ago when I was driving to Atlanta by myself last Friday I said God if you give me my help I knew I was supposed to be in Atlanta I knew I was supposed to be with Apostle grea I knew that what seemed like a carnal assignment was an assignment to help her come out of her comfort zone to help her start a new season in her life and I jumped in a vehicle that I hadn't taken on the road in years but I remembered My Vow God if you give me my health you give me my strength I won't wait on anybody else when I waited in the airport for hours and the flight was over booked and they closed the door and said ma'am you can get on the next flight and I looked at my watch and said that next flight won't get me there in time for that game dreams God picked the game and I went along with it the dreamer went to see the Dream Team I'm the dreamer seeing the Dream Team to help Apostle gria dream again a visual aid I got in that vehicle and God took me every step of the way and a miracle happened you're supposed to run into congestion all of my life every time I've gone to Atlanta I've never gone and didn't hit congestion and backto back traffic that created anxiety for the first time in my life there was no traffic jam there was no place that I had to walk and slow up that ways took me in a way that I thought I was in the wilderness and lost back and trees and when I looked up I was at the back of the stadium it was an assignment I was paying My Vow when God makes his move and do what what he said he would do and deliver you remember what you told him you would do after he delivers you I promised him and I'm still paying My Vow I promised him that if he would bless me and bring me out of privation many many years ago there's nothing no amount of money he can't ask for I'm still living there today he ask it I give it without question as long as I know it's him I give it th whatever you say give it because you are God and you're the god that made Covenant with me and I'm keeping my vow I pray that you glean something a whole lot from this message tonight because the preparation blessed me it was meant to encourage you it's meant to remind you to pay your vow it reminds you that God has made Covenant with you and when God is with you if God before you who can be against you be of good courage God's on your side be a good cour God's on your be of the courage go on your be of good courage God on your side mountains are by the words of your mou mountains are mve by the words of your mouth he's making the road in your
