NO MATTER WHAT
SOCIETY MAY NAME YOU.
00:00:01.76\00:00:05.36
NO MATTER WHAT
PEOPLE MAY CALL YOU.
00:00:05.36\00:00:08.86
NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE MAY
THINK WHEN THEY LOOK AT YOU,
00:00:08.86\00:00:12.70
GOD'S IDEAL FOR YOU MAY BE
00:00:12.70\00:00:14.90
QUITE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
00:00:14.90\00:00:16.46
YOUR NAME MIGHT IMPLY.
00:00:16.46\00:00:18.93
?  PRAISE THE LORD,
LET'S JUST PRAISE THE LORD. ?
00:00:18.93\00:00:25.23
Announcer: THIS IS THE BREATH OF
LIFE TELEVISION BROADCAST WITH
PASTOR WALTER L. PEARSON, JR.
00:00:25.23\00:00:29.50
WHEN GOD GETS READY HE CAN
DELIVER YOU, IF YOU CALL ON HIM,
IF YOU TRUST IN HIM.
00:00:29.50\00:00:35.03
?  HE'S WORTHY OF THE
PRAISE, JESUS IS WORTHY. ?
00:00:35.03\00:00:42.90
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOWN FLAT
ON YOUR FACE, BUT THE POWER OF
GOD WILL LIFT YOU UP.
00:00:42.90\00:00:47.43
?  HE'S WORTHY OF
ALL, ALL THE PRAISE. ?
00:00:47.43\00:00:53.36
YOU'RE LOOKING AT
GENESIS CHAPTER 32,
00:00:53.36\00:00:57.56
AND I WILL BEGIN IN THE
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
00:00:57.56\00:01:04.06
AT VERSE 24:
00:01:04.06\00:01:05.50
LET'S BOW TOGETHER AS WE PRAY.
00:01:59.83\00:02:03.20
FATHER WE COME TO THIS
WORD UNDERSTANDING THAT WITHOUT
00:02:03.20\00:02:08.30
THE OPENING OF OUR EYES AND
THE ENLIGHTENING OF OUR MINDS,
00:02:08.30\00:02:13.86
WE CANNOT FULLY COMPREHEND IT.
00:02:13.86\00:02:16.86
AND SO WE INVOKE
THY SPIRIT TONIGHT.
00:02:16.86\00:02:19.83
LET THE HOLY SPIRIT
COME AND SPEAK TO OUR HEARTS.
00:02:19.83\00:02:22.73
AND WE SHALL GIVE GLORY,
HONOR AND PRAISE TO THEY NAME,
00:02:22.73\00:02:27.70
FOR IT IS IN THE NAME OF
JESUS THAT WE PRAY, AMEN.
00:02:27.70\00:02:33.00
THIS IS A STORY THAT
IS FULL OF CHICANERY,
00:02:33.00\00:02:38.26
BUT IT IS PERFECTLY ON POINT TO
SHOW THAT THINGS CHANGE WHEN GOD
STEPS INTO THE PICTURE.
00:02:38.26\00:02:47.93
OUR THEORY FOR
THIS SERIES IS CLEAR.
00:02:47.93\00:02:52.40
WHEN GOD STEPS IN, THERE
IS A COMPLETE SHIFTING OF
00:02:52.40\00:02:59.56
CIRCUMSTANCES. WHEN GOD STEPS
IN, IT MAY SEEM IMPERCEPTIBLE
00:02:59.56\00:03:02.83
TO THOSE WHO DO NOT
SEE THINGS SPIRITUALLY,
00:03:02.83\00:03:06.23
BUT IT IS NEVER THE
SAME, IT CANNOT BE THE SAME
00:03:06.23\00:03:10.63
WHEN GOD INTERPOSES HIS POWER.
00:03:10.63\00:03:14.20
THIS FAMILY
QUARREL, IF YOU WILL,
00:03:14.20\00:03:17.86
BEGINS WITH AN UNDERSTANDING
THAT IN A MOTHER'S WOMB
00:03:17.86\00:03:24.16
THERE WERE TWO
NATIONS ABOUT TO COME FORTH.
00:03:24.16\00:03:28.20
WHEN THIS MOTHER KNEW THAT
THOSE TWO BOYS WERE STIRRING,
00:03:28.20\00:03:33.73
I CANNOT SPEAK WITH
GREAT AUTHORITY ABOUT IT,
00:03:33.73\00:03:37.23
MY WIFE TRIED HER BEST
TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE THINGS
00:03:37.23\00:03:40.30
THAT WERE OCCURRING WHEN
OUR CHILDREN WERE ABORNING.
00:03:40.30\00:03:44.66
IN FACT, I WANT TO SAY
TO YOU, WITH GREAT PRIDE,
00:03:44.66\00:03:47.66
THAT I EMPATHIZED TO
THE POINT THAT I SOMETIMES
00:03:47.66\00:03:51.93
THOUGHT I FELT
PHYSICAL PHENOMENON.
00:03:51.93\00:03:55.63
BUT I DO NOT PRETEND THAT
I UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MOTHER
00:03:55.63\00:03:58.50
FELT WHEN SHE BEGAN TO
QUESTION, "WHAT IS HAPPENING ?"
00:03:58.50\00:04:02.06
AND THE ANSWER COMES FROM GOD,
00:04:02.06\00:04:04.10
"TWO NATIONS
WRESTLE INSIDE YOU."
00:04:04.10\00:04:07.80
THERE WOULD COME
FROM HER THESE BROTHERS,
00:04:07.80\00:04:10.70
WHO WHILE THEY
WERE OF ONE FAMILY,
00:04:10.70\00:04:13.43
WOULD BE NATIONS THAT
WOULD NEVER BE AT PEACE.
00:04:13.43\00:04:16.73
AND WHEN THEY CAME
FORTH, THE FIRST ONE COMES RED.
00:04:16.73\00:04:20.83
IN FACT, RED GOES INTO THE
NOMENCLATURE OF HISTORY AND
00:04:20.83\00:04:26.56
BECOMES EDOM. THE EDOMITES RISE
FROM THE COLOR OF THE CHILD;
00:04:26.56\00:04:29.93
A RED, HAIRY CHILD.
00:04:29.93\00:04:33.30
THE SITUATION IS A STRANGE ONE,
00:04:33.30\00:04:36.10
THE BOY NOT ONLY WAS
RED IN COLOR, BUT HAIRY,
00:04:36.10\00:04:39.23
SUGGESTING PERHAPS,
SOMETHING OF HIS FUTURE.
00:04:39.23\00:04:43.86
HYPERTRICOSIS,
THEY CALL THE SITUATION,
00:04:43.86\00:04:47.03
WHEN THERE IS AN OVERABUNDANCE
OF SUPERFLUOUS HAIR.
00:04:47.03\00:04:51.10
AND SO HE COMES
FORTH RED AND HAIRY.
00:04:51.10\00:04:54.96
THEN COMES THIS OTHER CHILD,
TAKING HOLD OF THE HEEL OF HIS
00:04:54.96\00:05:00.36
BROTHER. AND THEY NAME THE
BOY BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DOES AT
00:05:00.36\00:05:06.86
BIRTH. IT ALMOST SEEMS UNFAIR,
FOR WHAT DOES THE BABY KNOW OF
00:05:06.86\00:05:12.50
WHAT HE DOES ? BUT SOMEHOW THIS
IS AN EMBLEM OF WHAT JACOB WILL
00:05:12.50\00:05:18.16
BECOME. THE NAME JACOB,
ENTOMOLOGISTS WOULD SUGGEST,
00:05:18.16\00:05:21.56
BEGINS WITH THE THOUGHT THAT HE
GRABBED THE HEEL, HE DECEIVED,
00:05:21.56\00:05:26.73
HE TRIED TO
GRASP OR TO SUPPLANT.
00:05:26.73\00:05:30.46
SO THIS CHILD WEARS A NAME THAT
SUGGESTS SOMETHING NEGATIVE.
00:05:30.46\00:05:38.06
I THINK WE OUGHT TO BE
CAREFUL WHAT WE NAME CHILDREN.
00:05:38.06\00:05:42.36
SOME CHILDREN WEAR NAMES NOW --
YOU KNOW WE PASS THROUGH PHASES
WHERE WE GIVE CHILDREN NAMES,
00:05:42.36\00:05:48.33
AND SOMETIMES THESE BOOKS
HAVE SOME STRANGE IMPLICATIONS.
00:05:48.33\00:05:52.70
YOU MAY GO TO ALL
KINDS OF SUBLIME MEANINGS,
00:05:52.70\00:05:56.03
BUT ONCE YOU HAVE CHOSEN A NAME,
00:05:56.03\00:05:57.96
THE CHILD IS
STUCK WITH THAT NAME.
00:05:57.96\00:06:00.80
AND THEN SOME CHILDREN
COME UP WITH THOSE NICKNAMES.
00:06:00.80\00:06:04.96
THE NAME IS PERFECTLY GOOD,
BUT THE NICKNAME IS STRANGE
00:06:04.96\00:06:08.43
AND A CHILD MUST BATTLE FOR THE
REST OF THE CHILD'S DAYS WITH
00:06:08.43\00:06:13.53
SOME ODD NICKNAME. BUT THIS
CHILD HAS AN OFFICIAL NAME THAT
MEANS SUPPLANTER, DECEIVER.
00:06:13.53\00:06:20.83
IT'S ALMOST LIKE HAVING TO
WEAR A T-SHIRT ALL OF YOUR LIFE,
00:06:20.83\00:06:25.26
A TATTOO IF YOU WILL, SO THAT
WHEN SOMEBODY MEETS YOU AND THEY
SAY, "WHO ARE YOU ?"
00:06:25.26\00:06:31.60
YOU ANNOUNCE TO
THEM, "I AM A DECEIVER."
00:06:31.60\00:06:36.90
WHAT A BURDEN TO BEAR.
00:06:36.90\00:06:39.13
AND ALL OF THE PSYCHOLOGISTS
AND PSYCHIATRISTS WOULD GO WILD
00:06:39.13\00:06:43.30
TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT
MEANS TO CARRY A NAME LIKE THAT.
00:06:43.30\00:06:46.46
WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MUST MAKE.
00:06:46.46\00:06:48.73
THE BIBLE SUGGESTS THAT AS THESE
TWO GREW THERE WAS A DEFINITE
DIFFERENCE IN THEM.
00:06:48.73\00:06:53.60
JACOB WAS CALLED A PLAIN MAN.
00:06:53.60\00:06:57.83
NOW, PLAIN AS IT READS IN
THE KING JAMES VERSION IS NOT
00:06:57.83\00:07:01.30
NECESSARILY WHAT
IT TURNS OUT TO BE.
00:07:01.30\00:07:03.70
PLAIN WOULD IN FACT SEEM
TO BE THAT HE WAS CULTURED
00:07:03.70\00:07:07.36
AND QUIET IN NATURE,
WITH A SENSE FOR ECONOMY,
00:07:07.36\00:07:12.03
ONE WHO WOULD PREFER TO STAY
NEARBY HOME AND MANAGE THINGS
WITH ADMINISTRATIVE ABILITIES.
00:07:12.03\00:07:19.26
NOT PLAIN IN THAT THERE WAS
NOTHING INTERESTING ABOUT HIM.
00:07:19.26\00:07:23.16
IN FACT, QUITE THE
OPPOSITE WAS PROBABLY TRUE.
00:07:23.16\00:07:26.36
THIS MAN WAS POSSESSED OF
AN ABILITY THAT SEEMED ALMOST
00:07:26.36\00:07:31.53
NATIVE. HE WAS ABLE TO MANAGE
AFFAIRS ALMOST AS THOUGH HE WERE
00:07:31.53\00:07:36.73
BORN TO DO SO. BUT THE
PROMISE THAT CAME WAS SIMPLE.
00:07:36.73\00:07:39.43
IT CAME EARLY TO THE
PARENTS OF THIS CHILD.
00:07:39.43\00:07:42.40
THE YOUNGER SHALL
RULE OVER THE OLDER,
00:07:42.40\00:07:45.13
AND THERE WILL BE A GREAT
NATION THAT WILL COME FROM HIM.
00:07:45.13\00:07:48.00
SO THE IMPLICATIONS WERE CLEAR,
00:07:48.00\00:07:50.40
DESPITE THE
NAME THAT HE CARRIED,
00:07:50.40\00:07:52.93
GOD HAD DETERMINED THAT
SOMETHING GREAT WOULD COME OF
00:07:52.93\00:07:56.76
HIM. ALLOW ME IF YOU WILL, TO
SUGGEST THAT NO MATTER WHAT
SOCIETY MAY NAME YOU,
00:07:56.76\00:08:05.20
NO MATTER WHAT
PEOPLE MAY CALL YOU,
00:08:05.20\00:08:08.50
NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE MAY
THINK WHEN THEY LOOK AT YOU,
00:08:08.50\00:08:12.70
GOD'S IDEAL FOR YOU MAY BE QUITE
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOUR NAME
00:08:12.70\00:08:19.06
MIGHT IMPLY. I BELIEVE THAT
THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO
00:08:19.06\00:08:22.06
LOOK TO SECULAR SOCIETY
TO FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE.
00:08:22.06\00:08:26.36
THERE ARE STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN
DONE TO PROVE THAT IF YOU LOOK
00:08:26.36\00:08:30.00
AT TELEVISION TO
FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE,
00:08:30.00\00:08:32.00
YOU WILL NORMALLY COME AWAY
WITH THE WRONG CONCLUSION ABOUT
00:08:32.00\00:08:37.00
YOURSELF. YOU CANNOT TRUST
PEOPLE WHO DON'T LOVE YOU TO
TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE.
00:08:37.00\00:08:41.16
YOU CANNOT TRUST NEWS MAGAZINES,
00:08:41.16\00:08:43.46
YOU CANNOT TRUST
NEWS COMMENTATORS,
00:08:43.46\00:08:46.23
YOU CANNOT TRUST WHAT SEEMS
TO BE THE AMBIANCE IN SOCIETY
00:08:46.23\00:08:50.43
TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT,
BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU MAY
00:08:50.43\00:08:54.46
CONCLUDE THAT YOU ARE NOTHING
AND WILL NEVER MEAN ANYTHING.
00:08:54.46\00:08:59.33
BUT GOD'S PLAN FOR YOU CAN
BE COUNTER TO WHAT YOUR NAME
00:08:59.33\00:09:04.93
SUGGESTS, OR WHAT
PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU,
00:09:04.93\00:09:06.80
OR WHAT YOUR
SITUATION SEEMS TO INDICATE.
00:09:06.80\00:09:09.43
FOR GOD IS NOT
CONTROLLED BY CIRCUMSTANCES,
00:09:09.43\00:09:12.73
CIRCUMSTANCES ARE
CONTROLLED BY GOD !
00:09:12.73\00:09:15.50
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE, SOMEBODY
LISTENING TO THESE WORDS
00:09:15.50\00:09:21.33
MAY HAVE BEEN
TOLD ALL OF YOUR LIFE,
00:09:21.33\00:09:23.86
"YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING,
YOU'LL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING"
00:09:23.86\00:09:28.70
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND
THAT AS SOON AS YOU ACCEPT
00:09:28.70\00:09:31.30
SOMEBODY ELSE'S
DESCRIPTION OF WHO YOU ARE,
00:09:31.30\00:09:34.03
THEN YOU GIVE THEM POWER
TO DETERMINE YOUR LIMITS.
00:09:34.03\00:09:37.96
EVIDENTLY JACOB, THE PLAIN ONE,
WAS NOT ONE TO ACCEPT WHAT HIS
NAME SEEMED TO IMPLY,
00:09:37.96\00:09:45.46
BUT HE THOUGHT BEYOND THAT.
00:09:45.46\00:09:47.36
AND AS HE
MEDITATED CLOSE TO HOME,
00:09:47.36\00:09:50.16
HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT WAS TO
HAVE THE POWER OF SPIRITUALITY.
00:09:50.16\00:09:55.13
HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS
AS HE LISTENED TO ISAAC,
00:09:55.13\00:09:57.66
HIS FATHER, TALKING ABOUT THE
POWER OF GOD THAT WAS PROMISED
00:09:57.66\00:10:01.80
TO THE FAMILY. HE UNDERSTOOD
WHAT IT WAS TO HAVE THE PROMISE
00:10:01.80\00:10:04.90
OF A REDEEMER COME
THROUGH THE FAMILY LINE.
00:10:04.90\00:10:07.06
AND IT WAS HIS DETERMINATION
THAT IF HE COULD FACILITATE IT
00:10:07.06\00:10:11.96
IN ANY FASHION, IN FACT IT WAS
HIS DESIRE TO BE CONNECTED WITH
00:10:11.96\00:10:15.96
THE GREATNESS THAT WAS
PROMISED TO THE FAMILY.
00:10:15.96\00:10:17.73
TO BE A PART OF THE JESUS,
THE SAVIOR WHO WAS TO COME.
00:10:17.73\00:10:23.16
NOW, ESAU, THE RED ONE, WAS NOT
SO INCLINED TO THINK OF THINGS
00:10:23.16\00:10:29.83
LIKE THIS. IN FACT, THERE ARE
SCHOLARS WHO BELIEVE THAT ISAAC
00:10:29.83\00:10:34.80
WAS INCLINED TOWARDS ESAU
BECAUSE ESAU REPRESENTED THAT
LITTLE VERVE INSIDE,
00:10:34.80\00:10:42.83
THAT WILD SIDE OF ISAAC.
00:10:42.83\00:10:47.26
NOW, IF I GET CLOSE TO
YOU, IT IS INTENTIONAL.
00:10:47.26\00:10:51.63
THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT INTENDED
TO BE LOCKED AWAY SOMEWHERE
ANTISEPTICALLY AGAINST SOCIETY.
00:10:51.63\00:10:58.20
THE WORD OF GOD IS INTENDED
TO BE APPLIED TO HUMAN LIFE.
00:10:58.20\00:11:02.33
IT'S FOR THE HERE AND NOW.
00:11:02.33\00:11:04.66
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN
YOU LOOK AT YOUR CHILDREN
00:11:04.66\00:11:06.60
AND YOU SEE PARTS OF THEM THAT
KIND OF REMIND YOU OF PARTS OF
00:11:06.60\00:11:11.70
YOU. MAYBE YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE
NERVE TO LIVE OUT SOME THINGS,
00:11:11.70\00:11:14.26
BUT YOU HAVE ONE
CHILD WHO DOES IT.
00:11:14.26\00:11:18.86
AND WHILE YOU DON'T WANT TO
OPENLY ADVOCATE THIS BEHAVIOR,
00:11:18.86\00:11:22.93
YOU KIND OF WINK YOUR EYE AND
SAY, "COME TELL ME ABOUT THAT."
00:11:22.93\00:11:29.26
ESAU WAS ONE WHO WOULD GO OUT
TO HUNT AND TO TRACK ANIMALS.
00:11:29.26\00:11:34.06
WHEN HE WOULD GO OUT HE'D
COME BACK WITH STORIES TO TELL,
00:11:34.06\00:11:37.20
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS WITH HUNTERS,
00:11:37.20\00:11:39.13
SOMETIMES I THINK THEY EMBELLISH
THEIR STORIES SLIGHTLY.
00:11:39.13\00:11:44.43
I HAVE PEOPLE IN MY
FAMILY WHO PRETEND TO HUNT.
00:11:44.43\00:11:49.36
AND I HAVE LISTENED TO THEIR
STORIES AND I KNOW THAT THEY
00:11:49.36\00:11:51.86
ARE NOT COMPLETELY TRUE
BECAUSE THEY CHANGE OVER YEARS.
00:11:51.86\00:11:57.46
SO CAN YOU IMAGINE WHEN ISAAC IS
THERE AND ESAU COMES BACK FROM
00:11:57.46\00:12:04.36
THE HUNT. ESAU COMES, "TAKE A
PIECE OF VENISON AND LET'S EAT
00:12:04.36\00:12:10.03
TOGETHER." YOU WILL FIND IN THE
EARLY DAYS OF THIS FAMILY, FOOD
PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART.
00:12:10.03\00:12:16.00
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU RUN
AWAY FROM THE TELEVISION SCREEN
JUST NOW TO GET ANYTHING TO EAT,
00:12:16.00\00:12:20.93
BUT LET ME TAKE THE RISK
OF DESCRIBING THIS TO YOU.
00:12:20.93\00:12:24.63
I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
VERY POTTAGE THAT IS SO POWERFUL
00:12:24.63\00:12:30.03
IN THIS STORY, IS SOMETHING THAT
THEY STILL EAT IN THE MIDDLE
00:12:30.03\00:12:34.36
EAST. MADE OF RED LENTILS
WITH ONION AND GARLIC SEASONING,
00:12:34.36\00:12:40.03
OVER RICE WITH A
LITTLE OLIVE OIL.
00:12:40.03\00:12:45.33
STAY THERE, STAY
THERE, DON'T LEAVE ME.
00:12:45.33\00:12:49.53
SO, PERHAPS ISAAC WOULD SAY,
00:12:49.53\00:12:53.16
"SON, COME AND BRING
SOMETHING OF WHAT YOU CAUGHT
00:12:53.16\00:12:55.76
AND TELL ME OF
THE DAY'S ADVENTURE."
00:12:55.76\00:12:59.76
AND ESAU WOULD SIT AND
TALK ABOUT HOW HE WAS OUT IN THE
00:12:59.76\00:13:03.10
HILLS AND HOW HIS SKILL AND
CUNNING ALLOWED HIM TO DO
SOMETHING THAT WAS DARING.
00:13:03.10\00:13:08.73
AND HIS FATHER WOULD HAVE A
TWINKLE IN HIS EYE AND WOULD
SAY, "TELL ME MORE SON."
00:13:08.73\00:13:12.93
WHILE JACOB TALKED
ABOUT MUNDANE THINGS,
00:13:12.93\00:13:16.53
HOW THE BEANS WERE
COUNTED -- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,
00:13:16.53\00:13:19.26
THE ACCOUNTING METHODOLOGIES
THAT KEPT THE FAMILY RUNNING.
00:13:19.26\00:13:23.83
WHO WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT THAT ?
00:13:23.83\00:13:26.46
HE'D TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT HAD
TO DO WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OF
00:13:26.46\00:13:30.93
THE FAMILY. SO MOM, REBEKKAH,
WOULD INCLINE HER EAR TO JACOB
FOR HE CARED FOR THOSE THINGS,
00:13:30.93\00:13:37.73
BUT ESAU WOULD
CATCH HIS FATHER'S FANCY.
00:13:37.73\00:13:42.56
NOW ESAU, THE ELDEST,
SHOULD HAVE HAD THE BIRTHRIGHT.
00:13:42.56\00:13:47.16
BUT BECAUSE HE WAS
A MAN WITH A FLAIR,
00:13:47.16\00:13:51.46
HIS RUDDY SKIN AND HIS HAIRY
TEXTURE GIVEN TO THE OUTDOORS,
00:13:51.46\00:13:58.03
THIS MAN WAS NOT INCLINED
TO THINK THAT HE SHOULD CLOSE
00:13:58.03\00:14:02.80
HIMSELF IN WITH THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING WHAT GOD
00:14:02.80\00:14:05.60
SAYS. NOW I SAY THAT WITH TONGUE
IN CHEEK BECAUSE I BELIEVE
00:14:05.60\00:14:10.10
THAT THE GREATEST ADVENTURE
IN LIFE IS SERVING GOD.
00:14:10.10\00:14:14.80
BUT YOU'VE MUST REMEMBER THAT
I AM NOT A YOUNG MAN ANYMORE.
00:14:14.80\00:14:18.96
I TALK NOW FROM EXPERIENCE.
00:14:18.96\00:14:21.13
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN,
I LISTENED TO THE PEOPLE
00:14:21.13\00:14:24.00
WHO WERE PART OF THE CHURCH
AND I MUST TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:14:24.00\00:14:28.00
SOMETIMES YOU FOLK GIVE
YOUNG FOLK THE IMPRESSION
00:14:28.00\00:14:32.36
THAT THE JOY IS OUT
THERE, BUT ALL THAT'S IN HERE IS
00:14:32.36\00:14:39.53
BEING FAITHFUL, BEING
TRUE, AND JUST HOLDING ON.
00:14:39.53\00:14:46.96
WE'VE GOT TO CHANGE THAT !
00:14:46.96\00:14:49.93
THERE'S JOY IN SERVING JESUS.
00:14:49.93\00:14:52.70
IN FACT, LOOKING
BACK ON THIS STORY,
00:14:52.70\00:14:56.46
THE GREAT ADVENTURE WAS NOT OUT
ON THE HILLS CATCHING ANIMALS,
00:14:56.46\00:15:01.10
THE GREAT ADVENTURE WAS THE
COMING OF JESUS IN THE FAMILY.
00:15:01.10\00:15:05.43
THE GREAT
ADVENTURE, THE ENTERPRISE,
00:15:05.43\00:15:07.73
WAS NOT TRAPPING
ANIMALS FOR FOOD,
00:15:07.73\00:15:11.30
FOOD IS
INCIDENTAL TO THIS STORY.
00:15:11.30\00:15:14.70
BUT I BELIEVE THAT SOMETIMES
WE, WHO CLAIM WE LOVE GOD,
00:15:14.70\00:15:17.66
GIVE THE WRONG IMPRESSION
ABOUT BEING IN THE CHURCH.
00:15:17.66\00:15:21.30
WE MAKE IT SEEM LIKE
BEING IN THE CHURCH IS BORING.
00:15:21.30\00:15:24.56
WHEN THE FACT IS, BEING IN THE
CHURCH IS DOWNRIGHT EXCITING.
00:15:24.56\00:15:30.90
I'VE BEEN A PASTOR
NOW FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS.
00:15:30.90\00:15:33.63
I CAN PROMISE
YOU IT GETS EXCITING.
00:15:33.63\00:15:37.10
EVERY DRAMATIC
SCENE YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE
00:15:37.10\00:15:39.73
IS PLAYED OUT IN THE CHURCH.
00:15:39.73\00:15:43.40
IF YOU WANT JOY, HOW MANY
OF YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT JOY ?
00:15:43.40\00:15:50.23
AND THEN THERE ARE
TIMES WHEN THERE'S SADNESS,
00:15:50.23\00:15:53.00
GOD GETS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO HOLD THE BLESSING OFF,
00:15:53.00\00:15:56.63
UNTIL WE RUN OUT OF RESOURCES.
00:15:56.63\00:15:59.20
HE WAITS UNTIL
THE PROPITIOUS MOMENT,
00:15:59.20\00:16:02.06
AND THEN ALLOWS HIS HAND
TO REACH IN JUST IN TIME.
00:16:02.06\00:16:06.13
AND JUST IN THE MOMENT WHEN YOU
THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE NO WAY
00:16:06.13\00:16:09.50
OUT, GOD BRINGS A
WAY OUT OF NO WAY.
00:16:09.50\00:16:13.06
I LOVE SERVING JESUS !
00:16:13.06\00:16:16.93
SOMETIMES WHEN I
FLY, I MAKE THE PARALLEL,
00:16:16.93\00:16:20.46
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM
THAT THE CHURCH IS PROBLEMATIC
00:16:20.46\00:16:25.00
BECAUSE THE RIDE
IS NO LONGER SMOOTH.
00:16:25.00\00:16:28.83
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO THINK
THAT WHEN YOU COME TO JESUS,
00:16:28.83\00:16:31.90
SOMEHOW ALL OF YOUR
PROBLEMS ARE TO EVAPORATE
00:16:31.90\00:16:34.16
AND EVERYTHING OUGHT
TO BE SMOOTH FROM THEN ON.
00:16:34.16\00:16:38.86
BUT IF YOU READ THROUGH
THE BIBLE, YOU DON'T GET THAT
00:16:38.86\00:16:41.36
IMPRESSION. IN FACT, I READ THAT
JESUS DID NOT ALWAYS COME TO
00:16:41.36\00:16:47.00
BRING PEACE, BUT SOMETIMES
TROUBLE, SOMETIMES CONTENTION ?
00:16:47.00\00:16:52.30
SOMETIMES FAMILY MEMBERS
WOULD TURN AGAINST EACH OTHER.
00:16:52.30\00:16:55.56
SO JUST BECAUSE THE RIDE GETS
BUMPY DOESN'T MEAN YOU OUGHT TO
00:16:55.56\00:17:01.73
GET OFF THE SHIP. I FLY ALL THE
TIME, AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT
00:17:01.73\00:17:04.70
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE
RIDE IS NOT SO WONDERFUL.
00:17:04.70\00:17:08.16
BUT I'VE LEARNED THAT
IT'S BETTER TO BE ON THE PLANE,
00:17:08.16\00:17:16.46
NO MATTER HOW ROUGH IT GETS.
00:17:16.46\00:17:18.80
I HAVE NOW HAD THE WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE OF BEING ON A CRUISE
00:17:18.80\00:17:23.40
SHIP. MY WIFE FINALLY
CAME UP WITH THE NERVE,
00:17:23.40\00:17:27.80
SHE'S NOT FROM A
PLACE WHERE THERE'S WATER,
00:17:27.80\00:17:29.83
I'M FROM MOBILE, ALABAMA;
WE'RE SURROUNDED BY WATER,
00:17:29.83\00:17:33.10
SO WATER IS SECOND NATURE TO ME.
00:17:33.10\00:17:35.20
BUT MY WIFE
FINALLY AGREED TO GO,
00:17:35.20\00:17:37.46
AND WE GOT ON ONE OF
THOSE BIG SHIPS AND TURNS OUT
00:17:37.46\00:17:39.30
THAT THE SHIP DOESN'T MOVE,
THEY'VE GOT ALL THESE GYROSCOPES
00:17:39.30\00:17:42.03
ON IT AND ALL THESE
THINGS TO HOLD IT STILL.
00:17:42.03\00:17:45.23
BUT STILL, EVERY NOW AND THEN
THERE WOULD COME SOME WINDS THAT
MAKE YOU CONCERNED A LITTLE BIT.
00:17:45.23\00:17:50.10
YOU'RE OUT ON THE DECK AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN, THE BEAUTIFUL SKY
00:17:50.10\00:17:54.23
TURNS UGLY. BUT I'VE
NOTICED THAT NO ONE RUNS FOR THE
00:17:54.23\00:17:58.36
LIFEBOATS, PEOPLE
RUN TO THEIR ROOMS.
00:17:58.36\00:18:01.20
THEY DON'T TRY TO
GET OFF THE BIG SHIP,
00:18:01.20\00:18:03.83
THEY CLIMB TO THE
MIDDLE OF THE BIG SHIP.
00:18:03.83\00:18:06.50
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO
DO THAT IN THE CHURCH,
00:18:06.50\00:18:08.50
INSTEAD OF GOING FOR THE
EDGE AND TRYING TO JUMP OFF,
00:18:08.50\00:18:10.80
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO
CLIMB TO THE MIDDLE.
00:18:10.80\00:18:14.93
BUT THE SITUATION IS ONE NOW
THAT DRAWS US INTO THE PICTURE.
00:18:14.93\00:18:21.26
FOR HERE WE HAVE A
FAMILY, CAUGHT AROUND THIS FOOD.
00:18:21.26\00:18:25.33
WE KNOW NOW THAT THE MOTHER
IS INCLINED TOWARDS JACOB.
00:18:25.33\00:18:27.36
YOU KNOW THAT THE FATHER
IS INCLINED TOWARDS ESAU.
00:18:27.36\00:18:30.70
AND THERE COMES A TIME NOW
WHEN ESAU HAS EXPRESSED THAT HE
00:18:30.70\00:18:34.30
DOESN'T WANT TO BE BOUND IN
BY ALL THESE RESPONSIBILITIES.
00:18:34.30\00:18:37.13
HE MUST HAVE HEARD SOME
OF THE OLD MEMBERS TALKING,
00:18:37.13\00:18:39.46
OR MAYBE SOME OF THE
YOUNG MEMBERS TALKING.
00:18:39.46\00:18:41.46
AND HE DOESN'T WANT
TO BE BOUND IN BY THIS,
00:18:41.46\00:18:43.13
SO HE OBVIOUSLY
EXPRESSED IT TO JACOB,
00:18:43.13\00:18:45.03
"YOU KNOW, YOU LIKE
ALL THAT KIND OF THING.
00:18:45.03\00:18:47.03
BUT I'M NOT INTO THAT
-- THIS BIRTHRIGHT THING.
00:18:47.03\00:18:49.76
ALL I WANT MAYBE IS THE
POWER, BUT ALL OF THIS STUFF
00:18:49.76\00:18:53.90
ABOUT SPIRITUAL CONCENTRATION,
THAT'S NOT FOR ME."
00:18:53.90\00:18:59.40
SO ONE DAY,WHEN ESAU
COMES BACK FORM THE HUNT,
00:18:59.40\00:19:03.80
JACOB MUST HAVE BEEN A
FAIRLY GOOD COOK HIMSELF.
00:19:03.80\00:19:07.06
SO AS HE STIRS THE RED
LENTILS AND PUTS THE GARLIC IN.
00:19:07.06\00:19:14.90
WELL, LET ME GET INTO THIS.
00:19:14.90\00:19:17.33
PUTTING THE GARLIC IN;
00:19:17.33\00:19:22.80
STIR IT AROUND A BIT; AND A
LITTLE ONION; SQUEEZE A LITTLE
00:19:22.80\00:19:27.80
CLOVE IN THERE, AND YOU KNOW,
THAT CAN GET INTERESTING AFTER
00:19:27.80\00:19:30.60
AWHILE. AND YOU GOT
YOUR RICE SOMEWHERE,
00:19:30.60\00:19:33.10
AND PERHAPS HE HAD JUST
PRESENTED HIMSELF SOME OF THE
00:19:33.10\00:19:38.63
FOOD -- PUT THE RED
LENTILS OVER THE RICE.
00:19:38.63\00:19:42.83
DON'T LEAVE ME, I
ASKED YOU NOT TO LEAVE ME.
00:19:42.83\00:19:46.60
AND NOW ESAU APPEARS.
00:19:46.60\00:19:48.53
EVIDENTLY ON THIS
HUNT THERE WAS NO CATCH.
00:19:48.53\00:19:53.33
IF THERE HAD BEEN A CATCH,
HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HUNGRY.
00:19:53.33\00:19:55.66
NOW HE COMES
FAMISHED, "JACOB, WHAT IS THAT ?
00:19:55.66\00:19:59.63
I SMELLED THAT
WAY DOWN THE PATH.
00:19:59.63\00:20:03.26
WHAT IS THAT YOU'RE EATING ?"
00:20:03.26\00:20:04.66
"WELL, YOU KNOW, JUST
SOMETHING THAT I PUT TOGETHER.
00:20:04.66\00:20:07.60
ARE YOU INTERESTED ?"
00:20:07.60\00:20:09.13
"YES, I'M FAMISHED.
00:20:09.13\00:20:10.90
GIVE ME SOME !"
00:20:10.90\00:20:12.03
HE SAYS, "NO, NO,
NO, NO, THIS IS FOR ME."
00:20:12.03\00:20:17.86
"WELL, DON'T YOU SHARE IT ?"
00:20:17.86\00:20:19.46
"NO, NO NO, THIS IS PERSONAL,
I'VE SEASONED IT TO MY TASTE.
00:20:19.46\00:20:23.90
THIS IS NOT YOURS."
00:20:23.90\00:20:26.03
AND THEN JACOB UNDERSTANDS THAT
HERE IS A MOMENT THAT IS FULL OF
00:20:26.03\00:20:33.43
OPPORTUNITY. SOMETHING OCCURS
TO HIM, MAYBE HE CAN HELP GOD A
00:20:33.43\00:20:39.36
LITTLE BIT. FOR WE FIND RECORDED
THAT HE IS THE ONE WHO OUGHT TO
BE ABOVE HIS BROTHER.
00:20:39.36\00:20:45.03
HE IS THE ONE WHO
DESERVES THE BIRTHRIGHT.
00:20:45.03\00:20:48.30
THE SPIRITUAL
BIRTHRIGHT IN PARTICULAR.
00:20:48.30\00:20:52.10
AND SO MAYBE HE MADE THE
DECISION THAT SOME OF US MAKE.
00:20:52.10\00:20:54.90
MAYBE GOD NEEDS A HELPING HAND.
00:20:54.90\00:20:58.40
YOU'VE HEARD THE
POEM, HAVEN'T YOU ?
00:20:58.40\00:20:59.96
"GOD HAS NO
HANDS BUT OUR HANDS."
00:20:59.96\00:21:03.06
SOME PEOPLE TAKE THAT TO STRANGE
AND EXTRAORDINARY LENGTHS.
00:21:03.06\00:21:07.16
NOW, HE WILL HELP GOD.
00:21:07.16\00:21:08.60
AND SO HE SAYS, "ESAU,
LET ME STRIKE A DEAL WITH YOU.
00:21:08.60\00:21:13.46
YOU'RE HUNGRY, I HAVE FOOD.
00:21:13.46\00:21:15.13
YOU HAVE A BIRTHRIGHT
AND YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
00:21:15.13\00:21:18.80
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME YOUR
BIRTHRIGHT AND YOU CAN EAT NOW ?
00:21:18.80\00:21:25.73
WHAT DO YOU THINK ?"
00:21:25.73\00:21:27.33
"WELL, THE BIRTHRIGHT
DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME."
00:21:27.33\00:21:29.60
MAYBE HE EVEN THOUGHT
IT WAS NOT SO SERIOUS.
00:21:29.60\00:21:32.63
BUT BEFORE HE WOULD
EAT, AND IF I HAD BEEN JACOB,
00:21:32.63\00:21:36.70
I WOULD HAVE PRESENTED
IT FIRST, GET IT ALL RIGHT,
00:21:36.70\00:21:40.86
"NOW BEFORE I DO THIS,
LET ME HEAR YOUR OATH."
00:21:40.86\00:21:44.33
"OH YEAH, IT'S DONE."
00:21:44.33\00:21:47.90
SO NOW, THE DEAL IS CUT.
00:21:47.90\00:21:50.66
IT IS MORE THAN
JACOB SHOULD HAVE ASKED.
00:21:50.66\00:21:54.83
IT'S A HARD BARGAIN.
00:21:54.83\00:21:56.50
IT'S OVERREACHING.
00:21:56.50\00:21:58.26
IT'S MORE THAN
SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE,
00:21:58.26\00:22:00.06
BUT JACOB RATIONALIZES
THAT'S HE'S HELPING GOD.
00:22:00.06\00:22:04.30
NOW TIME PASSES AND NOW ISAAC
IS ABOUT TO GIVE THE ACTUAL
00:22:04.30\00:22:12.30
BIRTHRIGHT. AND HERE COMES THE
FOOD AGAIN, THIS FOOD IS THERE,
00:22:12.30\00:22:16.10
PART OF THE CULTURE ISN'T IT ?
00:22:16.10\00:22:18.33
SO, ISAAC SAYS TO ESAU,
"SON, I'M ABOUT TO GIVE AWAY THE
00:22:18.33\00:22:24.60
BIRTHRIGHT. GO AND GET ME SOME
OF THAT VENISON, YOU KNOW HOW
00:22:24.60\00:22:30.10
YOU DO." NOW, ISAAC
IS A BLIND OLD PATRIARCH,
00:22:30.10\00:22:36.46
BUT HE WANTS THAT TASTE
AGAIN, HE COVETS THE TASTE.
00:22:36.46\00:22:39.76
I HAVE DISCOVERED
THAT AS YOU GROW OLDER
00:22:39.76\00:22:41.86
YOU CAN'T TASTE
EXACTLY LIKE YOU USED TO TASTE.
00:22:41.86\00:22:47.36
IF YOU'RE NOT OLD ENOUGH
YET, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
00:22:47.36\00:22:49.26
BUT TRUST ME, THERE ARE
SOME TASTES THAT I REMEMBER AS A
00:22:49.26\00:22:53.13
CHILD THAT I
CANNOT RECOLLECT NOW,
00:22:53.13\00:22:55.63
I CANNOT PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER
BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED
00:22:55.63\00:23:01.56
TO THE WIRING. THE SENSORY
PERCEPTION IS MISSING SOMETHING.
00:23:01.56\00:23:04.83
THERE ARE THINGS
THAT I TASTED AS A CHILD,
00:23:04.83\00:23:06.76
I TASTE THAT VERY SAME THING NOW
AND IT DOESN'T COMPUTE EXACTLY
00:23:06.76\00:23:11.63
RIGHT. BUT YOU
ALWAYS LONG FOR THEM.
00:23:11.63\00:23:14.10
SO NOW ISAAC SAYS, "GO BRING
SOME OF THAT AND LET'S DO THIS
00:23:14.10\00:23:19.56
THING NOW." WELL, IT WAS
OVERHEARD BY THE MOTHER AND SHE
RUNS TO GET JACOB AND SAYS,
00:23:19.56\00:23:23.70
"SON WE HAVE A
MOMENT TO DO THIS.
00:23:23.70\00:23:25.63
THERE IS A WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY, LET ME COOK UP
00:23:25.63\00:23:29.90
SOMETHING." JACOB MUST HAVE BEEN
A COOK, ESAU MUST HAVE BEEN A
00:23:29.90\00:23:32.93
COOK, BUT MOTHER MIGHT HAVE
BEEN THE ONE TO TEACH THEM ALL.
00:23:32.93\00:23:37.00
SO NOW PERHAPS IT WAS NOT
VENISON THE SCHOLARS SUGGEST,
00:23:37.00\00:23:41.26
MAYBE SHE WENT AND GOT
SOMETHING MUCH LESS EXOTIC
00:23:41.26\00:23:45.80
BUT SEASONED IT
IN THE RIGHT FASHION.
00:23:45.80\00:23:49.76
IF YOU KNOW YOUR WAY WITH
SEASONINGS, SUGGEST CULINARY
00:23:49.76\00:23:54.63
EXPERTS, YOU CAN MAKE AMAZINGLY
SMALL THINGS TASTE GRAND.
00:23:54.63\00:24:00.50
SO NOW SHE PUTS TOGETHER THIS
WONDERFUL MEAL, AND SHE SAYS,
00:24:00.50\00:24:04.93
"LET ME COVER YOU WITH THE SKIN
OF ANIMALS SO YOU ARE HAIRY LIKE
00:24:04.93\00:24:09.90
YOUR BROTHER, PUT ON HIS CLOTHES
SO YOU HAVE THE WILD SMELL OF
00:24:09.90\00:24:14.70
THE OUTDOORS." AND NOW JACOB
GOES IN AND EATS WITH HIS FATHER
AND WAITS UNTIL HIS FATHER COMES
00:24:14.70\00:24:20.43
CLOSE. HE SAYS,
"YOUR VOICE SON. . ."
00:24:20.43\00:24:23.26
BUT WHEN HE TOUCHES HIS HANDS
THEY ARE COVERED NOW WITH ANIMAL
00:24:23.26\00:24:27.26
SKIN AND WHEN HE PUTS HIS HAND
AROUND HIS NECK IT HAS BEEN
COVERED WITH ANIMAL SKIN.
00:24:27.26\00:24:31.33
AND WHEN HE SMELLS THE CLOTHING,
THOUGH THE VOICE IS NOR RIGHT,
THE TOUCH IS CORRECT.
00:24:31.33\00:24:38.06
HE DOES NOT TRUST
HIS EARS, BUT HIS TOUCH,
00:24:38.06\00:24:41.10
AND THUS HE MAKES THE ERROR OF
BLESSING THE ONE THAT HE DID NOT
INTEND TO BE BLESSED.
00:24:41.10\00:24:46.16
AND YET, WATCH TO SEE THAT WHAT
GOD INTENDS DOES COME TO PASS.
00:24:46.16\00:24:55.50
EVEN IF IT SEEMS THAT HUMAN
PLANNING HAS OVERRUN, GOD WILL
00:24:55.50\00:25:07.00
HAVE HIS WAY. NOW I SUGGEST TO
YOU THAT GOD DID NOT NEED THE
TRICKERY OF REBEKKAH.
00:25:07.00\00:25:12.86
GOD DID NOT NEED
THE PLAN OF JACOB.
00:25:12.86\00:25:16.70
WE MUST LEARN HOW TO BE
STILL AND KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD.
00:25:16.70\00:25:21.90
TOO MANY PEOPLE TAKE TO
THEMSELVES DIVINE PREROGATIVE
00:25:21.90\00:25:26.80
MAKING THEMSELVES
IN THE PLACE OF GOD,
00:25:26.80\00:25:29.73
WHEN GOD WILL
HAVE HIS WILL DONE.
00:25:29.73\00:25:33.43
IN FACT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE TAKING YOUR
00:25:33.43\00:25:39.33
PLACE, AND TAKING YOUR
POWER, OR TAKING YOUR POSITION.
00:25:39.33\00:25:43.60
I READ THE OTHER DAY IN
PREPARATION FOR ANOTHER SERMON
00:25:43.60\00:25:46.40
THAT THE SUN HOLDS ALL THE
PLANET IN THEIR PLACES BY IT'S
00:25:46.40\00:25:55.76
MAGNETIC POWER. EVERY PLANET IS
HELD RIGHT IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
00:25:55.76\00:25:59.76
AND THE ONLY THINGS THAT MOVE
AROUND WITHOUT ANY ANCHOR AT
00:25:59.76\00:26:04.76
ALL, ARE SHOOTING STARS AND
THEY SOON BURN THEMSELVES OUT.
00:26:04.76\00:26:10.13
SO THAT IF SOMEBODY SEEMS TO BE
INVADING YOUR SPACE, JUST WAIT
00:26:10.13\00:26:16.60
AWHILE. THEY'RE JUST A SHOOTING
STAR AND THEY'LL SOON BE BURNED
00:26:16.60\00:26:21.20
OUT. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE S-U-N
00:26:21.20\00:26:25.36
WHO IS NOW THE S-O-N FOR US,
IF YOU HAVE CONTACT WITH GOD,
00:26:25.36\00:26:30.86
