Does that happen what about I become the neighbor if I 33 00:02:16,32 --> 00:02:20,69 just if I just let anybody do whatever they do to make Finally somebody will love 34 00:02:20,70 --> 00:02:25,77 me do you there were those work and so what it is is there's something about 35 00:02:25,78 --> 00:02:31,63 attitude. Very much so is about attitude and so if you have the wrong attitude 36 00:02:31,64 --> 00:02:31,98 we're going to have 37 00:02:31,99 --> 00:02:36,48 a gentleman probably in February this going to be coming to speak and he tried 38 00:02:36,49 --> 00:02:41,72 twenty different ways to try to find peace. And then twenty different ways was he 39 00:02:41,73 --> 00:02:47,11 tried every religion except Christianity he tried engineering he tried psychology 40 00:02:47,35 --> 00:02:51,93 he did everything to find an answer you found out the answer was Jesus Christ so we 41 00:02:51,94 --> 00:02:55,05 can go all kinds of different ways to find healing but all to me the answer is 42 00:02:55,06 --> 00:02:59,07 Jesus Christ how many know that sometimes we have to have 43 00:02:59,08 --> 00:03:04,67 a wrestling match with God to get healed. Have you know that we have to have 44 00:03:04,68 --> 00:03:09,20 a face to face encounter where God gets real because I know when you've been 45 00:03:09,21 --> 00:03:12,06 wounded and scarred and you grow up and maybe you've been witness scarred in 46 00:03:12,07 --> 00:03:16,68 a Christian home. A mother and father serve God but they were fallen human beings 47 00:03:16,69 --> 00:03:19,68 they made some bad choices along the way they weren't the best of parents or you 48 00:03:19,69 --> 00:03:23,66 got they weren't the best of parents know some people grow up with great parents 49 00:03:23,67 --> 00:03:27,91 but they judge them as not being good parents and so what happens is you make 50 00:03:28,52 --> 00:03:32,97 against Christianity against God in Saul The reality is you want nothing to do with 51 00:03:32,98 --> 00:03:38,20 God because your experience is that God is in the good God And so what does God do 52 00:03:38,21 --> 00:03:42,05 who are brain is circumstances we have to face to face encounter with them maybe 53 00:03:42,06 --> 00:03:42,19 it's 54 00:03:42,20 --> 00:03:46,88 a car accident that he allows to happen and you're laying in the bed totally crippled 55 00:03:46,97 --> 00:03:51,29 and you only person you have to talk to is who God in your mind is you can't even 56 00:03:51,30 --> 00:03:56,01 talk. So God can to bring that face to face encounter to us all this to start 57 00:03:56,02 --> 00:04:02,24 a lesson this is again based upon the story of Jake up as not all going to parallel 58 00:04:02,25 --> 00:04:07,05 to the our story but I'll give you some ideas Romano number one says what is in 59 00:04:07,06 --> 00:04:12,44 a name first thing is it says A is conception in Genesis twenty five one thousand 60 00:04:12,45 --> 00:04:16,79 and twenty six there is the story of the birth of Jake up and he saw Jake up was 61 00:04:16,80 --> 00:04:20,37 struggling even at birth there are many people who deal with the spirit of 62 00:04:20,38 --> 00:04:24,19 rejection even at birth maybe it turns out the parents did one 63 00:04:24,20 --> 00:04:27,80 a child or another child maybe they're born to addicted parents and were 64 00:04:27,81 --> 00:04:32,21 a crack baby or fetal alcohol syndrome baby maybe they're born out of wedlock or 65 00:04:32,22 --> 00:04:36,60 conceived out of rape maybe they were adopted whatever is behind their conception 66 00:04:36,61 --> 00:04:36,80 there's 67 00:04:36,81 --> 00:04:42,44 a message of being rejected does that make sense that there's that indirect miss if 68 00:04:42,45 --> 00:04:46,70 your parents that want another child do that when you get bored and they say look I 69 00:04:46,71 --> 00:04:51,62 didn't want you to they do that most likely not but will they relate to you 70 00:04:51,63 --> 00:04:57,26 a certain way if you're that unexpected child they can have you turn around and you 71 00:04:57,27 --> 00:05:03,92 can see by rape and the mother carries you. To term. And raise you but there's 72 00:05:04,02 --> 00:05:04,27 there's 73 00:05:04,28 --> 00:05:07,83 a part of bitterness that's within or you think that somehow that will come out 74 00:05:07,88 --> 00:05:09,99 that that can be manifested and that 75 00:05:10,00 --> 00:05:13,48 a child spirit can you can look at it with this look at the story for 76 00:05:13,49 --> 00:05:18,90 a second to see how Jacob starts out even at conception in Genesis twenty five. 77 00:05:20,34 --> 00:05:24,45 Thousand nine hundred twenty six what I'm going to do is I'm going to start 78 00:05:24,46 --> 00:05:30,10 a twenty two and the back A is conceived to child so they're twins is going to 79 00:05:30,11 --> 00:05:35,70 Jacob and Esau and it's in the trill children struggle together within her and she 80 00:05:35,71 --> 00:05:41,09 said if it be so why am I feeling this what is happening God why is this happening 81 00:05:41,10 --> 00:05:45,33 there's this war going on within my belly and the Lord answered says there's two 82 00:05:45,34 --> 00:05:50,12 nations in your womb and two men are people should be separated from the bowels and 83 00:05:50,13 --> 00:05:55,57 the one people should be stronger than the other people and the elder the younger 84 00:05:56,59 --> 00:06:02,49 so how many know that if there's two children you OK was going to come out before 85 00:06:02,50 --> 00:06:07,27 the other one right. So the one that comes out for first is the older one even if 86 00:06:07,28 --> 00:06:12,94 it's by ten seconds right how many know the Jewish culture is the older has what. 87 00:06:14,01 --> 00:06:16,68 Are the inheritance the birthright and there's 88 00:06:16,69 --> 00:06:23,57 a war going on Esau as the older Jake up is the younger he wrestles as well 89 00:06:23,61 --> 00:06:24,06 even as 90 00:06:24,07 --> 00:06:30,09 a baby he's restless away I want to be the first born that's how he starts his life 91 00:06:30,09 --> 00:06:35,43 .

So Jacob was that one up on you kind of 153 00:11:06,15 --> 00:11:11,02 a person and what's interesting is you see in the midst of this this look at this 154 00:11:11,03 --> 00:11:15,00 and one of the twenty seven thirty four and the boys grew and he saw was 155 00:11:15,01 --> 00:11:17,77 a cunning Hunter a man of the filled in Jacob was 156 00:11:17,78 --> 00:11:23,80 a plain man dwelling intense and love Isaac as their father I seek love Esau 157 00:11:23,81 --> 00:11:27,35 because he did eat of the Venice and but relooked brought back 158 00:11:27,36 --> 00:11:33,78 a love jake up all his or some favoritism going on there's some favoritism going on 159 00:11:33,91 --> 00:11:40,37 can that affect you later on in life salute leap and Jake up was eating porridge 160 00:11:40,38 --> 00:11:46,91 and came from the filled in he was faint he was tired and he said to Jacob feed me 161 00:11:46,92 --> 00:11:51,34 I pray thee I'm hungry I want some of the food you're making and you know what 162 00:11:51,35 --> 00:11:57,76 Jacob says Sure just let me have your birthright. So at that time 163 00:11:58,08 --> 00:12:04,95 Esau sells his birthright to get some some some porridge are you willing to 164 00:12:04,96 --> 00:12:09,53 give up what God has for you for the sake of something of this world there's 165 00:12:09,54 --> 00:12:13,84 something to think about and notice that Jacob was what he was 166 00:12:13,85 --> 00:12:17,56 a manipulator he knew what to do I know how to get the birth right he's really 167 00:12:17,57 --> 00:12:22,81 hungry I can commit seem right now so I can see him there making the mill thinking 168 00:12:22,82 --> 00:12:26,26 Oh my brothers out there he's hunting guess what if you're hunting for 169 00:12:26,30 --> 00:12:31,91 a deer.

And you think 172 00:12:41,95 --> 00:12:47,85 high got to do all this and they didn't have microwaves. So his brother knew that 173 00:12:48,36 --> 00:12:53,32 and he took advantage of it see when we get wounded sometimes we take advantage of 174 00:12:53,33 --> 00:12:59,66 situations so that we can have that upper hand. Now think about your own life where 175 00:12:59,67 --> 00:13:05,15 you the manipulator are you then they.
