1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
All of the sacrificial system, 
the Old Testament Sunday 

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:08,600
morning, all that blood that was
shed and gallons upon gallons of

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,880
hundreds of thousands of gallons
of blood that was shed that 

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:21,200
could not do what the capacity 
of the blood of one man could do

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,400
for all of us never to have to 
be offered again. 

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,480
Thankful for the blood, Amen, Of
Jesus. 

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,159
Hallelujah. 
Oh, yeah, There's announcements.

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,680
I guess I kind of forget about 
all that stuff when this stuff 

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,400
goes on, you know, it's just 
kind of like secondary. 

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,360
There's stuff going on, there's 
stuff going on. 

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,240
You understand what I'm saying? 
Amen. 

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,640
You can be seated for a little 
bit because I don't want you to 

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,400
get tired of standing just while
I'm talking about some 

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,080
announcements. 
Amen. 

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,120
This coming Sunday will be 
operation share offering again 

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,560
in the AM service at the very 
end taking up another offering 

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,280
for Operation Share for 
Thanksgiving for helping feed 

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,400
households within our community.
All right. 

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,040
And that being said, also thank 
you to the First Apostolic 

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,040
Church with the impromptu 
offering that was taken up for 

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,400
the two families. 
We, we I say, I say raised 

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,640
raises, right? 
There was given an excess of 

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,960
$1000 on Sunday morning for 
those two families. 

24
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:26,160
And we thank for Lord and 
appreciate him Amen for allowing

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,160
us to have to return. 
All right. 

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,040
How allowing us to have Amen for
the purpose of returning next 

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Wednesday or by say, next 
Wednesday. 

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,040
There will be no service here 
next Wednesday. 

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,120
Tonight we'll finish criteria 
for finding a mate. 

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,320
There will be no service here 
next Wednesday. 

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,120
It's the day right before 
Thanksgiving. 

32
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,400
There'll be a good portion of us
that'll be in Nashville for 

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,320
National Youth Convention. 
However, the first Wednesday in 

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,320
December, the first Wednesday, 
December, we move from this 

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,760
setting and move to connect 
groups, men connect groups, 

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,120
women connect groups and student
connect groups. 

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,840
If, if, if you are new around 
here or you haven't been here 

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,080
during the connect group season,
please see my wife and I will 

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,640
make sure that you get connected
to our private connect group 

40
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:16,880
page because it can keep you 
apprised of what is going on or 

41
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,760
material or discussion 
questions, all kinds of 

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,360
different stuff that may come 
through that route. 

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,160
And that will be starting the 
1st December, the first 

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,520
Wednesday of December, men will 
be in the sanctuary, ladies will

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,840
be in the fellowship hall, 
students will be over there and 

46
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,880
we'll have a good, good time. 
If you're a man already put 

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,200
stuff up concerning connect 
groups today. 

48
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,920
All right, for us men. 
So I already put some stuff out 

49
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:44,440
there today that you can go and 
check out and make yourself 

50
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,600
aware of. 
All right, so that's coming up 

51
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:50,880
there the first, the first 
Wednesday in December. 

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,480
Everybody say December. 
All right, grab your fork, your 

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,800
knife, your spoon, walk around 
with your plate, right? 

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,640
All the things you go to 
business, company parties and 

55
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:05,600
church parties and party Hardy. 
All right, Well, for US, 

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,600
December the 6th is the Ignite 
Christmas party. 

57
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,160
I'll be at 6:30 PM. 
December the 12th is a Ladies 

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,320
Christmas party that's at 6:30 
PM as well. 

59
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,920
It'll be catered. 
Sister McGee says you can bring 

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,760
a 5 to $10, five to $10.00 gift 
for that. 

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,840
And that range is there because,
well, folks, we just not living 

62
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,160
where we were a few years ago. 
I mean, $5 gift just sometimes 

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,600
don't even go far, you know, by 
tube a toothpaste cost $5, you 

64
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,480
know, it almost feels like, but 
anyway, none the less. 

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,200
And also then on the very next 
night, then December the 13th is

66
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640
the adult Christmas party. 
Amen. 

67
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,680
They'll be taking place in the 
fellowship hall and that'll be a

68
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,880
carry in style. 
We all will have stuff for 

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640
coming concerning that. 
However, on that night when it's

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,880
the adult Christmas dinner, the 
Ignite are providing babysitting

71
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,800
all right, provided for a rate. 
So it's $20 for your first 

72
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,480
child. 
If you have another child after 

73
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,640
that, it's $5 for each 
additional child. 

74
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,400
So it's a flat rate of 20 for 
that first and then five for any

75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,400
additional child that's after 
that. 

76
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,800
And you can see brother Alex, 
your sister Grace, if you have 

77
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,959
any questions concerning that. 
Amen. 

78
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,120
Then on December the 22nd, a 
little different this year on a 

79
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,520
Sunday evening, we are doing our
candlelight service, which is 

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,400
always a special time. 
So our last service before 

81
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Christmas, we will be having our
candlelight service start at our

82
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,680
regular service time at 6:00 PM.
And after we've completed that 

83
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,400
service, we'll have Donuts and 
cookies and fellowship and such 

84
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
in the back with maybe something
warm to drink and so on and so 

85
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,200
forth. 
It's always a good time of year.

86
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,440
If you're saying to the McGee, I
didn't, I couldn't get it all 

87
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,680
down. 
We have a calendar out there on 

88
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,160
the bulletin board as the same 
dates out there for your 

89
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,600
perusing and taking in and so on
and so forth. 

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640
Someone's saying, man, I don't 
know if anybody has been 

91
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,520
noticing the past few services, 
but there's been someone sitting

92
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,240
over here in this area. 
And this is Amaya Lange. 

93
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,440
And Amaya has made a choice and 
decision to make this church her

94
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,760
church, all right, with the 
support of her previous pastor I

95
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,360
talked to yesterday. 
And Amaya has talked to us 

96
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,400
today. 
And so I'm asking you just 

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,160
incorporate her, make her feel a
part of this church family, 

98
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,640
befriend her, talk to her. 
If you need a point of reference

99
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,280
for her. 
Amaya Lang is Doctor Jeremy 

100
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,560
Lang's sister. 
All right, Jeremy Lang that 

101
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,720
comes. 
This is I. 

102
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,920
We won't hold that against her. 
You, you understand that, right?

103
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,640
We won't hold that against her, 
but we're going to love her and 

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,240
appreciate her and and try to 
incorporate her into this body 

105
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800
here here at First Apostolic 
Church. 

106
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,840
Now Bible study. 
All right, the last one for this

107
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:59,280
season. 
All right, let's get into 

108
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,800
Genesis chapter 24. 
We're going to spend a lot of 

109
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,240
time in Genesis 24 tonight 
tiptoeing among the tulips, 

110
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,120
reading sections of Scripture. 
I know they up there see just 

111
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,760
nothing but Genesis 24, this 
section of verse, just Genesis. 

112
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,840
For that, we should have 
probably just loaded the whole 

113
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,560
chapter, just been all 67 
verses, whatever it is. 

114
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,520
Amen. 
That's going to just read a few 

115
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,320
verses, if you'll stand to me, 
just as just an honor to God's 

116
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,720
Word, right? 
In the book of Ezra, they stood 

117
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,240
for the reading of the Word of 
the Lord. 

118
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,600
And so this is where we get that
formality or tradition, if you 

119
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,240
will. 
Genesis 24. 

120
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,440
I'm going to read 3 verses. 
None of them are connected, 

121
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,840
right? 
Like consecutively. 

122
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:37,160
So I'll tell you where to go 
next. 

123
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,680
All right, Genesis, I'll tell 
you right now we're going to 

124
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:46,560
read verse 2648 and 522648 and 
52, the Bible says, and they'll 

125
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,080
sound somewhat familiar or even 
maybe repetitive. 

126
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:58,280
And the man bowed down his head 
and worshipped the Lord, verse 

127
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:03,480
48. 
And I bowed down my head and 

128
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,920
worshipped the Lord, and blessed
the Lord God, my master Abraham,

129
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,120
which had led me in the right 
way to take my masters brothers,

130
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,280
daughter unto his son. 
Verse 52. 

131
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,840
And it came to pass that when 
Abraham's servant heard their 

132
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,640
words, he worshipped the Lord, 
bowing himself to the earth. 

133
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,360
This is criteria for finding a 
mate. 

134
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,560
Part number three, we've, we 
have unearthed all of this 

135
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,160
criteria from Genesis chapter 
24. 

136
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,120
And so in saying that when we 
finish tonight, what we provided

137
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,840
really isn't an exhaustive list,
OK, but it's a good list for 

138
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,080
Genesis 24. 
We could pull other places in 

139
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,880
Scripture and probably add to 
the list. 

140
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,760
As a matter of fact, when I did 
this 12 years ago, I only had 

141
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,280
12. 
Tonight we have 13 because in 

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,880
the following year there was 
another one out Genesis 24 I 

143
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,680
thought need to be in there. 
And so it's tucked in there too.

144
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,880
All right, because I updated, 
dated it in 2013, whatever it 

145
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,960
was and threw it in there. 
Yeah, it's the second edition, 

146
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,040
so it may be expanded or 
whatever you want to call it 

147
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,200
every though. 
And so just to remind you where 

148
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,920
we are, I'll pray so you'll be 
seated. 

149
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,000
OK. 
Lord Jesus, we love you. 

150
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,440
God, we thank you, Lord, again, 
God, for this opportunity to be 

151
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,520
here. 
Help us to be students of your 

152
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,640
word, not just hearers only, but
also doers. 

153
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,640
I pray God tonight, God, I know 
Lord, there's things in this 

154
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,600
that's good Lord, for our 
personal lives. 

155
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,919
Words to live by, Lord, an 
exercise in the name of Jesus 

156
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:39,919
Christ that I pray, Amen. 
You may be seated again. 

157
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,000
I just want to very quickly go 
over the list that we've covered

158
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,480
thus far, starting with number 
one one through 7 that we have 

159
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,840
done thus far. 
Number one, do not marry or day 

160
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,320
a unbeliever. 
All right, not just Old 

161
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,440
Testament, New Testament 
Scripture bears that out as well

162
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,920
in the book of Corinthians #2 do
not marry a person with a 

163
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,920
incompatible spiritual appetite 
or continue to date that 

164
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,600
individual after you've come to 
this realization #3 pray for 

165
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,120
guidance, right? 
Remember and be specific. 

166
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,840
I get detailed with that. 
Nothing wrong with that at all 

167
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,760
#4 don't manipulate the results,
right? 

168
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,080
If you set up this idea and 
concept of what you're looking 

169
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,240
for or something that you want 
God to answer me, don't start, 

170
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,440
you know, playing with all the 
variables and making it turn out

171
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,920
the way you we want it to turn 
out. 

172
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Don't manipulate the results #5 
don't compromise character for 

173
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,840
comeliness, right? 
We believe in physical 

174
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,320
attraction, but it's not so much
so that that Trump's to the 

175
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360
place where you ignore the 
character of an individual. 

176
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,680
All right, number six, players 
are for games and not 

177
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,280
relationships. 
Again, one of my personal 

178
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,040
favorites just for the wording 
of it. 

179
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,560
Players are for games, not 
relationships, right? 

180
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,520
The leading on the playing with 
the emotions of a woman or maybe

181
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,720
with the physical touch aspects 
of a man, so and so forth that 

182
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,720
we steer clear from to to just 
for the purpose of playing games

183
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,840
#7 don't start committing until 
you are well informed. 

184
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,480
Don't start committing until you
are well informed. 

185
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,320
Right you are in a you're 
already picking out rings after 

186
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,720
the first, you know, day of ever
even having a conversation. 

187
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,480
You know, you need to be well 
informed before you make this 

188
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,320
very important decision that's 
that's going to have 

189
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,200
implications in your life. 
And so #8 from the three verses 

190
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:36,200
that I read to you tonight #8 is
this Recognize if God's hand is 

191
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:42,400
in the development. 
Recognize if God's hand is in 

192
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,320
the development. 
And these 3 verses that I picked

193
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,200
in. 
And the reason why there is some

194
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,440
repetitiveness is not only does 
the story play out and this 

195
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,840
thing happens as far as 
Abraham's servant worshipping 

196
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,760
and bowing and like giving 
thanks and gratitude to God. 

197
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,680
When he retells the story then 
to Rebecca's family, he likewise

198
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,360
then goes through it again. 
And so that's the reason why 

199
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,040
it's mentioned again. 
And then finally, when Rebecca's

200
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:15,120
brother and her father kind of 
give that, OK, like, yeah, this 

201
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,000
is good, this is right, this is 
proper. 

202
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,320
Then he also takes a moment to 
reflect and give God honor and 

203
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,840
praise for what's going on. 
Because when when the servant 

204
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,520
specific prayer was answered, 
after that prayer was answered, 

205
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,440
right of that very detailed 
prayer of her giving him water 

206
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:38,760
and then she of her own volition
offering and volunteering to 

207
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,080
water the camels. 
It's after that that we see him.

208
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,520
Then the first time he's bowing 
his head and he's worshipping 

209
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,840
the Lord because what he's doing
here, he's recognizing the 

210
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,040
fingerprints of God and the 
development of what's taking 

211
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,280
place because not only as he 
went back to the area where 

212
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,120
Abraham's family was from, but 
now, and I don't want to call it

213
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,320
stumbled upon, I believe it's a 
divine intersection that took 

214
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,800
place. 
Now he's come up on the woman 

215
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,360
Rebecca, when he he learns her 
pedigree that this is part of 

216
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,760
this is part of her, his, his, 
his master, Abraham's family. 

217
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,520
And so he's starting to see the 
handiwork of God in the 

218
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,920
development of trying to find 
this mate for, for his, his 

219
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,480
master's son. 
And so as he's seeing this thing

220
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,280
start to unfold, he, he has a 
grateful heart. 

221
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,920
He is thankful he is worshipping
that the Lord is, is in this. 

222
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,880
And so then again, whenever he 
shares the story with Rebecca's,

223
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,200
when he shares the story with 
Rebecca's relatives and retells 

224
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:50,200
the story to them in verses like
34 through 36, Isaac and his 

225
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,920
family and all these things. 
He, he understands again that he

226
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,240
relates how he himself was 
appreciative to God for the 

227
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,760
things that he saw begin to 
develop. 

228
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,840
Whenever we read in Scripture, 
when we read that setting of 

229
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,960
Scripture, and you can look at 
it there, if you have a Bible 

230
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,360
that's open of verses 34 through
36, Abraham, as he begins to 

231
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,080
explain some things to the 
family of Rebecca, he tells them

232
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,160
basically that Isaac and Isaac's
family, his father that they 

233
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,240
are, they are financially sound.
All right, They're financially 

234
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,440
sound. 
And then he continues to retell 

235
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,920
the events from the time that he
left Canaan unto the present 

236
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,880
moment. 
And you'll look at this in verse

237
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,400
#32 this repeating, this 
repeating of an event. 

238
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,400
We see this off times in 
Scriptures. 

239
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,120
For instance, you see this in 
New Testament in the book of 

240
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,560
Acts, whenever Saul is talking 
about his conversion that took 

241
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:57,720
place in Acts 8-9, and then he 
retells it later, and then he 

242
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,720
retells it another time later. 
You see this retelling or this 

243
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,400
repeating of event, or for that 
matter, there's other times 

244
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,520
where there's just the 
repetition of event in Scripture

245
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,800
and it underscores some 
importance. 

246
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,240
It's like given that second Wham
of impression right upon 

247
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,520
whatever took place, it's it's 
in essence many times confirming

248
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,640
the truthfulness of the event or
the truthfulness may be of a 

249
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,280
statement in Scripture. 
The one example that I may go to

250
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,080
for this is really in Genesis 
41. 

251
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,280
I told you verse 32, but in 
Romans chapter, Genesis 41 and 

252
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,640
verse 32 where this occurs, the 
Bible says, and this is 

253
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,680
concerning Joseph and Pharaoh 
and the dreams that took place. 

254
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,840
The Bible says for that the 
dream was doubled unto Pharaoh 

255
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,640
twice. 
It is because he says this is 

256
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,680
the reason why. 
It is because The thing is 

257
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,520
established by God and God will 
shortly bring it to pass. 

258
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,160
And so even the doubling of of 
the same dream happening just 

259
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,200
yet again, it was because this 
thing is established by God. 

260
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,760
And so we see them as he's even 
recalling this. 

261
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,400
He's recalling this even to 
those of Rebecca just to inform 

262
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,280
them, but also with the point of
view that no doubt he sees God's

263
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,320
hand in the development of these
things from him and his 

264
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720
perspective. 
He has a very hopeful 

265
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:21,040
inclination that this is the 
will of God for his master's 

266
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,640
son. 
And so not only that, now he's 

267
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,080
not just experienced this story 
for himself. 

268
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,040
Now he has told it to someone 
else, right? 

269
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,160
Because he's involved in the 
story. 

270
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,960
He, this is his obligation and 
duty to do this. 

271
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,840
So he's involved in the story. 
But now he has some outsiders, 

272
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,160
as it were, that's looking in on
these turn these these turn of 

273
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,600
events and their conclusion is 
this you can read of it in verse

274
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,240
50. 
It says the thing that 

275
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,280
proceedeth from the Lord that 
that was their that was their 

276
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,760
conclusion of the matter. 
This thing's from God. 

277
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,040
In other words, what's happening
right now these these these you 

278
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,560
intersecting her at the well and
she being related to Abraham and

279
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,400
he's looking all he said this 
thing proceeded from God. 

280
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,800
And so they just concur with 
what the servant was already 

281
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,040
feeling. 
God's handiwork, God's handiwork

282
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,560
is in this development. 
God's hand is in all of this. 

283
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,520
Not only that, we we see 
something begin to take place 

284
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,560
here a little bit in Scripture. 
If you look at verses 37 through

285
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:34,800
39, you see that. 
And then you look at verses 34 

286
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,440
through 36, much, much smaller 
piece of verse verses there, 34 

287
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:47,280
through 36 compared to 37 
through 49 to the servant is 

288
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:53,080
whenever he's saying that long 
description of 37 through 49 of 

289
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,760
what's happening, he talking 
about that. 

290
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,960
And then verses 34 through 36 is
talking about the financial 

291
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,400
soundness of Isaac and his 
family. 

292
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,400
There are laws there. 
There are laws for interpreting 

293
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,319
Scripture. 
All right. 

294
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,880
If you ever go to seminary, 
they'll tell you all these 

295
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,720
different laws, all right. 
One of the laws is the law of 

296
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,599
proportion, meaning that if 
there is a larger section of 

297
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:20,720
verses that applies to something
compared to something else, it 

298
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,520
kind of emphasizes the 
importance just because 

299
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,040
proportionally there's more 
that's given to it. 

300
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,040
And if we use the law of 
proportion in this particular 

301
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,840
setting, the Scripture, then we 
have this, that for the servant,

302
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:40,160
perceiving that God's hand was 
in it was more important than 

303
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,280
the financial status of Isaac. 
Huh. 

304
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:50,240
Meaning that if God's hand was 
in it, that was more important 

305
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,800
than if he was rich. 
It is good. 

306
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,840
Thank you, Sister Robert. 
That is good stuff. 

307
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,880
That is good stuff. 
So after the servants feelings 

308
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,840
are are confirmed by a third 
party. 

309
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,520
You know that the Lord proceeded
for the Lord is working in this.

310
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,320
It's then in verse 52 that he 
bows right after Laban and Beth 

311
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:15,360
you'll tell him that that this 
is in it that's proceeded from 

312
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,240
the Lord. 
He bows again and he worships 

313
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,840
because he feels that he feels 
that stamp if you will of 

314
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,880
someone else's point of view of 
God being in this all right and 

315
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,880
it's important. 
The importance of this is that 

316
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:35,040
that the servant had consulted 
with God about this. 

317
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,920
He consulted with God about this
and he wants to verify. 

318
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,200
And it's good that he's just not
seeing something or picking up 

319
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,760
on something in his flesh, 
right? 

320
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,040
Just wanting something to be, 
you know, I've been a long 

321
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,280
journey. 
I've been from home, you know, 

322
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,160
for a while now. 
I got these team camels got to 

323
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,800
care for, you know, all this 
stuff. 

324
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,440
It's I just want to get back 
home. 

325
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,520
I I want this to be it right. 
Journey can be said done over 

326
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,000
whatever, but he he understands,
though, that by consulting some 

327
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,800
on the outside that yes, this 
isn't just my flesh. 

328
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,760
This isn't just something I I 
want to happen or take place. 

329
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,400
This is this, this is the hand 
of God that's taking place. 

330
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,520
And so while that's important 
for us, whether you're in the 

331
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,000
space of finding the mate or in 
between may or you know, I say 

332
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,880
that respectfully, I think it's 
just important to know what 

333
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,840
God's hand is in, as in what 
God's hand is not in. 

334
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,760
We love, you know, it's good to 
see man God's hand is in. 

335
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,720
It's also good to see what God's
hand isn't in and vice versa. 

336
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,160
And so it's, it's important to 
know that. 

337
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,600
And so the only way that we can 
do that number one is by #1 

338
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,920
keeping in touch with God. 
It. 

339
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,520
So be careful when you're on the
mate search and you don't have 

340
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:08,920
this mate search taken care of. 
Because when all the rubber hits

341
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,200
the road, if you never learned 
to get this relationship right, 

342
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,480
it'll have impact more than 
likely on your other 

343
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,920
relationships in life. 
All right. 

344
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,960
And so, so the only way we can 
keep in touch with that we got, 

345
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,400
we got to stay in touch with 
God. 

346
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,520
And and I think it's important 
that there's probably people in 

347
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,440
your life that you you account 
as people that you can trust, 

348
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,440
that you can hold yourself 
accountable to, right? 

349
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,080
That you trust them. 
You know, and I'm not here to 

350
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,040
blow the trumpet tonight, but I 
hope that as a pastor, that may 

351
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,080
be my wife and I might be able 
to be a little bit of a sounding

352
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,040
board. 
All right in your life 

353
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,800
concerning some of those things.
Or maybe you have someone that's

354
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,680
a true friend, right? 
Not a just a yes woman and a yes

355
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,960
man. 
That's just always going to tell

356
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,240
you what you want to hear. 
Scripture said was it probably 

357
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,880
said faithful are the wound 
faithful are the kisses of a 

358
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,240
friend wounds of a friend? 
Is it wounds? 

359
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,200
They are the wounds of a friend.
Amen. 

360
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,880
Why? 
Because well, you know, they're 

361
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,520
not doing it for the purpose of 
hurt, but they're doing it for 

362
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,280
the purpose of guidance and 
direction. 

363
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,440
And there's an honesty there 
that's just trying to be 

364
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
helpful, right? 
Not hurtful. 

365
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,240
I know we can feel hurt in the 
MO in the moment, but it's 

366
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,960
really trying to be helpful. 
Genesis 24 and verse 34 the 

367
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,360
Bible says so let's read this 
little financial side, although 

368
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,920
the Scripture, he was the note 
in God's hand did it more 

369
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,560
important than the financial 
side. 

370
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,640
That doesn't mean the financial 
side shouldn't be taken into 

371
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,040
consideration. 
Everybody hearing me now that 

372
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,640
doesn't necessarily mean that 
you know, they have their summer

373
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,320
house and their winter house and
you know their Swedish banks 

374
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,000
accounts and all that stuff. 
But listen. 

375
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,120
And he said, verse 34, I am 
Abraham's servant, and the Lord 

376
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:07,520
hath blessed my master greatly. 
He has become great. 

377
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,920
He have given him flocks, and 
herds, and silver, and gold, and

378
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,360
menservants, and maidservants, 
and camels, and asses. 

379
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,320
And Sarah, my master's wife, 
bear a son to my master when she

380
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,840
was owed. 
And unto him he's Speaking of 

381
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,400
Isaac, and unto him hath he 
given all that he hath. 

382
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:33,680
So he's talking about Abraham 
and all of his financial status 

383
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,520
and basically saying they had a 
son and that went to Isaac. 

384
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,960
All that I just aforementioned. 
So #9 criteria for finding a 

385
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,360
mate. 
What is their financial 

386
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:52,280
standing? 
What is their financial 

387
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,800
standing? 
It's important that God's hand 

388
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,600
is in it. 
That's important, but not at 

389
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:03,120
total dismissal of what the 
financial standing is, right? 

390
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,240
It doesn't remove the value of 
Isaac's financial condition, 

391
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,880
right? 
Because let's think, let's think

392
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,080
just for a moment real, 
particularly about the female 

393
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:21,600
with this male years ago now, I 
know we're almost in a society 

394
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,040
today, it's almost just both 
partners are going to work. 

395
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,000
I get that. 
Years ago, though, the typical 

396
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,000
thing was, was for the male to 
work and the female to work in 

397
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,400
the home, right? 
So let's just consider that 

398
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,040
aspect for a moment. 
Does this Romeo have a job? 

399
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,600
I mean, is there room for both 
of you to live in your mother's 

400
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:57,920
basement? 
Someone say Amen. 

401
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Remember when we did Genesis 
study? 

402
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,200
We're still in Genesis, right? 
You all, I all just really just 

403
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,440
snapped through you this whole 
time. 

404
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,920
We've been in Genesis a lot 
while we've not been in Genesis.

405
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,200
But let me tell you something. 
Remember, before God ever 

406
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,840
brought Eve or took Eve from his
side and brought Eve to Adam 

407
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:20,600
first, He gave him a job to 
dress and keep the garden and 

408
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,360
name the animals before he ever 
introduced Eve. 

409
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,560
Guys, before you go finding 
yourself a mate, find yourself a

410
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:39,520
job. 
I know that love feels great, 

411
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,200
but you can put love on the 
envelope and send it to your 

412
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,920
water bill and they don't really
care. 

413
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,000
Amen. 
As a matter of fact, among the 

414
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,480
lists that you'll read, even 
present day, the list that 

415
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,560
you'll read top five top 10 
struggles or conflicts among 

416
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,600
even married couples. 
You know what it is? 

417
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,520
Finances, finances. 
And so if that's the case, if 

418
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,600
that's the case in retrospect, 
after people get married, don't 

419
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,040
you think it'd be good to 
consider that before you ever 

420
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:21,040
get married, right before any 
commitments made? 

421
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:24,880
What's, what's the financial, 
what's the financial status 

422
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,800
here? 
Again, I'm not, I'm not 

423
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,480
advocating, you know, they got 
to be filthy rich and you know, 

424
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,680
they got to be making this much 
money and this many figures and 

425
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,200
so on and so forth. 
I understand that. 

426
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,360
But I'm thinking about this. 
What type, what type of 

427
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,440
financial practices do they even
carry in their life? 

428
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,680
Are you inheriting a $50,000 
credit card debt whenever you 

429
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,280
get into marriage with them 
because they don't know how to 

430
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:59,960
manage their money right? 
Because then then you come in 

431
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:02,760
together and you got you got you
got you got their credit and 

432
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,320
your credit and then both of 
your names go on something. 

433
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,040
And then now your credit is 
being affected by your 

434
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,520
collective. 
Hey, God help us, Jesus out. 

435
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,520
Lord Jesus. 
Hey, man. 

436
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:23,080
So somebody might need to look 
at ahead of time, right? 

437
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,840
So someone you know, might have 
a job, might might need a better

438
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,440
job. 
I'm just saying thinking about 

439
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,960
the financial dynamics that 
you're merging together might 

440
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,760
need, might need a might need a 
better job. 

441
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,120
And yeah, you know, maybe, maybe
that Lady or man at the way it 

442
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,920
is in today's world, we got stay
at home dads. 

443
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,240
So, you know, maybe maybe, you 
know, whoever one or the other, 

444
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,640
maybe both are going to have to 
work in order to make this thing

445
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,400
work. 
But it's a whole lot more 

446
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,480
important that you enter into 
this situation with your eyes 

447
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,440
wide open, Taking the guards off
for a moment, right? 

448
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,400
Getting our heads out of the 
clouds and touching reality for 

449
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,240
a moment, huh? 
I mean, there's a lot of 

450
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,360
vehicles on his side. 
Maybe we need to sell for you, 

451
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:07,560
though. 
Maybe we don't need all those 

452
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:14,920
going into our marriage. 
Listen, listen, you're young. 

453
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,720
And sometimes young people think
like this, that they should have

454
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,920
the status of their parents when
they get married. 

455
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:27,880
Well, your parents was on some 
road to get to where they are 

456
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:33,440
now, you know, after 30 years of
marriage and maybe it'll happen 

457
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,920
for you. 
If so, that's great, but it 

458
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,440
might not OK. 
And so we want to be, we want to

459
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,120
be aware of this because if we 
get into this thing and we have 

460
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:48,640
no idea concerning those things 
and we Start learning some 

461
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,480
things, you know, 5-10 credit 
cards later that you owe money 

462
00:27:53,480 --> 00:28:01,400
on with just your regular life 
stuff, huh? 

463
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,280
You don't want to enter that 
because you start doing that. 

464
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,120
You know what happened, you find
out afterwards. 

465
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:08,520
And some of these things, you 
know that you never knew they 

466
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,360
didn't tell or whatever. 
Then you can start forming 

467
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:17,960
resentment for the opposite 
party over where you're at. 

468
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,000
And you can start having these 
feelings of disappointment 

469
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,320
toward them. 
And all of the love man just 

470
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,560
starts to eat out of your 
relationship because there's 

471
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,160
just real life problems. 
Now you know that are here that 

472
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,080
maybe if you just if at least 
you had time to you was going to

473
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,720
enter it, but you at least had a
mindset. 

474
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,320
You knew what you was already 
stepping into. 

475
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:46,240
You understand what I'm saying? 
OK, so we want to kind of avoid 

476
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,640
those type of things. 
Not only that, look at this this

477
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,480
this is something that Abraham's
servant is telling the family. 

478
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,240
Abraham has XYZ. 
All that's going to go to Isaac.

479
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Why are you doing that, Abraham?
Because any parent, any parent 

480
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,680
in their right mind wants to 
have a certain element of 

481
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,200
comfort that their son or 
daughter are going to be able to

482
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,240
make it. 
I'm just saying that their son 

483
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,360
or daughter are going to be able
to survive, right? 

484
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,400
They don't want to think that 
they're, you know, little Susie 

485
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,400
go tie the she just, she's not 
even going to have a drumstick 

486
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,640
to eat on. 
You know, she they want to know 

487
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,480
that they're going to be taking 
care of food and shelter wise, 

488
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,520
right? 
They're they're conscious of 

489
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,640
that. 
And so he's sharing this type of

490
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,160
information, information. 
A matter of fact, my parents 

491
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,040
told me this. 
I'll probably tell my I think 

492
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,000
it's a generational thing. 
I think most parents want their 

493
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960
children to do better than what 
they did. 

494
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,200
I think that I think that's a 
honorable thing, you know, to 

495
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,720
want your kids to do better than
what you did. 

496
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,800
And so all those things come 
into play. 

497
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,840
Look at this now, if you will, 
verse 29 of Genesis 24. 

498
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,680
And Rebecca had a brother and 
his name was Laban. 

499
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,320
And Laban ran out, went to the 
man and to the whale. 

500
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,280
And it came to pass when he saw 
basically the gifts all right. 

501
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,520
And when he heard the words of 
Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus

502
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,840
spake the man, and to me, that 
he came into the man, and 

503
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,640
behold, he stood by the camels 
at the well. 

504
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,520
So, so Laban. 
Laban heard what Abraham's 

505
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:37,280
servant had to say, and then he 
went out to see what he said he 

506
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,600
had. 
And he seen the gifts that had 

507
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,120
been given to his sister 
Rebecca. 

508
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,920
And he seen the not one, but 
two, but 10 cables that this 

509
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,200
servant had. 
And so Laban is noticing all of 

510
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,120
this entourage that came with 
the servant. 

511
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,640
And it just strikes me a little 
funny. 

512
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,160
But in the very next verse, 
verse #31 I believe if it. 

513
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,640
Yeah, look at old Laban. 
He's standing there. 

514
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,320
Here's my sister, all these 
gifts he's bestowed upon her. 

515
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,240
Look at all this entourage. 
And he says in verse 31, he 

516
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,880
said, come in, thou blessed of 
the Lord. 

517
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,800
You know, here's like, because 
he's going to be brother-in-law 

518
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,640
today. 
Come on, God blessed the Lord. 

519
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,920
What is he? 
He's seeing that his sister's 

520
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,280
going to be taken care of. 
He sees that his sister's going 

521
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,720
to be taken care of. 
You know, why are you standing 

522
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:31,520
up? 
Come on in. 

523
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,760
We got provender for you camels.
You know, you stay here with us 

524
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,840
tonight. 
You know, we got some place 

525
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,080
where you can bed down. 
God bless. 

526
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:47,200
Blessed the Lord not but as a 
real I mean real realistically 

527
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,040
and just practically he's 
thinking that he must be 

528
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,880
financially sound. 
Well, maybe two things This 

529
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,720
guy's either financially sound 
or he owes somebody a lot for 

530
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,360
these camels and they give him 
the right. 

531
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,920
So it's crucial to know the 
truth behind all of that and so 

532
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,080
the servant is shining light 
upon it as a result of it. 

533
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,160
All right so I I'm telling you 
you don't listen. 

534
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,960
Marriage is hard enough without 
putting the financial factor 

535
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,000
there that may be unnecessary 
accumulated death. 

536
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,760
All right and if if history 
here's the thing, if history is 

537
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,560
indicate if they can't take care
of their own finances where they

538
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:32,080
going to go when they have two 
peoples listen more money 

539
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,080
doesn't cure improper use of 
finances. 

540
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,000
That just allows you to be more 
improper with more money. 

541
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,640
Amen, someone's Amen #10 let's 
go on. 

542
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,760
Thank you Jesus #10 this was my 
Addy, unlike the following year 

543
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,480
after I download this. 
Can they be trusted? 

544
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:05,240
Can they be trusted? 
Look at verse #34. 

545
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,760
And he said, I am Abraham's 
servant, and the Lord have 

546
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,040
blessed my master greatly. 
He says everything that he says 

547
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,600
there. 
I want to man. 

548
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,840
Did I mess up? 
No, that's the same thing I 

549
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,200
already read to you once. 
Nonetheless, one of the selling 

550
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,360
points that Abraham's servant 
used to persuade and influence 

551
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:30,080
Rebecca to be Isaac's wife was 
this the servant master, the 

552
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,520
servant's master. 
Abraham was greatly blessed by 

553
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,840
the Lord with all these things, 
right? 

554
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,440
And notice though the Bible does
not say the master have given a 

555
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,240
double portion to Isaac. 
That's not the words. 

556
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,760
It doesn't say that the master 
had given a portion above all 

557
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,000
the rest to Isaac because that's
some of the that's some of the 

558
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,760
verbage you get in Scripture. 
Double portion, like that of the

559
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,080
first born, double portion, or a
portion to Joseph above the 

560
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,800
rest, that which Jacob had taken
out of the hand of the Amorite 

561
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,080
with his bow, that about. 
But whenever we read concerning 

562
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,520
Isaac, he says he had given him 
all. 

563
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,360
There was not anything that he 
had that was off bounds to 

564
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,120
Isaac. 
How could he do that? 

565
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:26,080
He could trust his son Isaac. 
He was trustworthy so he could 

566
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:32,600
freely all nothing off bounds 
endow him with everything. 

567
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,120
And so just by virtue of even 
that illustration, knowing that 

568
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:41,080
that son could receive all that 
meant in the eyes of that 

569
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,719
family, this young man, this guy
must be a a highly trustworthy 

570
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,239
individual himself that his 
father would entrust him with 

571
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,719
all that he had without any 
limitations, without putting up,

572
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,440
you know, a little fence around 
a certain area. 

573
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,280
No, he's trusted with all a man 
that could be trusted. 

574
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,120
You are a woman for that matter,
you you want someone in your 

575
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,920
relationship that someone that 
is trustworthy. 

576
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560
Amen. 
If you catching them in lies 

577
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:23,350
before you got to question some 
of their actions before I do 

578
00:35:24,550 --> 00:35:27,150
those will continue. 
Listen, marriage, you're not 

579
00:35:27,150 --> 00:35:32,710
going to fix the problems, 
absolute problems in somebody 

580
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,280
just because you got married. 
And it's like, well, they'll 

581
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,320
stop doing that and this and 
such. 

582
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:40,680
And I'm not talking about stuff 
that are non negotiables that 

583
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,480
you can't compromise on. 
I'm talking about like moral 

584
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,920
things. 
If it was wrong before they got 

585
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,720
married, it's not just going to 
stop because you got married. 

586
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,680
All right. 
And so there is a there is a 

587
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,200
trust factor that is there. 
Let's move on. 

588
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,600
Verse 49. 
We'll finish tonight, OK, just 

589
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,320
let you know. 
Be reassured my brethren. 

590
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,600
Verse 49 And now if ye will deal
kindly and truly with my Master,

591
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:16,640
tell me, and if not, tell me 
that I may turn to the right 

592
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,680
hand or to the left. 
Then Laban and Beth, you'll 

593
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,800
answered and said the thing 
proceeded from the Lord. 

594
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,440
We cannot speak unto thee, bad 
or good. 

595
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,720
Behold, Rebecca is before thee. 
Take her and go and let her be 

596
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:35,880
thy master's son's wife, as the 
Lord hath spoken. 

597
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,960
And so he's telling all this 
right the the brother, the 

598
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,240
father, he's getting inside #11 
is this. 

599
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:48,800
Get feedback from the family on 
2 levels A&B. 

600
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:55,240
What does the potential mates 
family think about him or her? 

601
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:04,640
And what does your family, oh 
boy, think about him or her? 

602
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:10,320
Right, because the servant is 
talking to daddy and brother 

603
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,360
about Rebecca. 
He's wanting there. 

604
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,240
He wanted some opinion of those 
that are closest to her. 

605
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,680
They've been with that little 
snot since she was born. 

606
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,040
They know her little 
idiosyncrasies and her little 

607
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,880
traits and her little patterns. 
Huh. 

608
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,040
They know that she has mood 
swings almost every two weeks. 

609
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,560
I'm just telling you, folks, 
some things are good to know. 

610
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,120
Well, Gloria, so he's talking to
those that are closest to them. 

611
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,160
What, what, what do you have to 
say about about this 

612
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,000
relationship? 
What do you have to say about 

613
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,000
Rebecca? 
And they're going to want to 

614
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,640
know them. 
Vice versa, you're going to want

615
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,680
to know that as well. 
Again, they, they've known these

616
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,840
people have known these 
individuals longer than the one 

617
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,680
that's marrying them, have known
them more than likely, unless 

618
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,200
they were born in the same 
hospital and so on and so forth.

619
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,400
But I'm saying in an intimate 
way, in a space of living in the

620
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,880
same house, they know them 
better than the one that's about

621
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,800
ready to marry them. 
And so he's talking to Rebecca's

622
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,840
father and Rebecca's brother. 
And I think this is important. 

623
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,720
Please hear me right now. 
This is a conversation right now

624
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:31,160
happened with those two men. 
I understand the patriarchal 

625
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,440
male type of driven society that
they were a part of. 

626
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,080
But the wisdom in this also was 
this, here is a lady. 

627
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:45,560
The servant wants to know the 
male slant on Rebecca, the male 

628
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,520
view. 
You might hear one thing from 

629
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:54,880
Mama, but I want to hear the 
male view of Rebecca, right? 

630
00:38:55,640 --> 00:39:00,080
Well, go hurry. 
I want to know the female view 

631
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,400
of that guy I'm about ready to 
marry. 

632
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,120
I want to talk to his mom and 
sisters, right? 

633
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,000
Did he fly off hand at them and 
disrespect them? 

634
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,760
Well, he might disrespect you 
after you get married. 

635
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,480
He's getting some information 
here, right? 

636
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,680
He's getting this, this 
perspective in the slant of the 

637
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,920
sex upon the opposite sex of 
what they're about ready to 

638
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,000
marry. 
Some questions, you know, might 

639
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,240
be what what are some of their 
tendencies? 

640
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,760
You know, how is that Lady? 
Is she high maintenance? 

641
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,200
Talk to my future father-in-law.
Is she high maintenance? 

642
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,080
Does she have a certain level of
status of stuff that she thinks 

643
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,320
she deserves? 
Well, OK. 

644
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,840
OK. 
I know you all. 

645
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,400
You all good? 
That's OK, huh? 

646
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,080
For that guy, Mom, does he get 
angry easy? 

647
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,560
Is it easy to flip his switch? 
Is he from 1°? 

648
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,160
You know, like, very nice. 
And then just in a moment, he 

649
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,600
can shift you like Doctor Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde, huh? 

650
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,920
But what about do they hold 
grudges? 

651
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,120
Huh. 
Are they quick to say sorry or 

652
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:20,000
seek forgiveness? 
Huh. 

653
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,320
Do do they tend to make 
mountains out of mow hills? 

654
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,240
Because, listen, we don't go 
into relationships and we open 

655
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:36,160
up our garments and start 
showing all of those sides of 

656
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,200
ourselves. 
No, we we're pretty. 

657
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,080
We're pretty well cloaked to a 
degree. 

658
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:46,600
Maybe as the relationship goes 
on, we start peeling it back a 

659
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,880
little bit. 
Like there's a little bit of me.

660
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,160
Yeah, I know it's not that 
great. 

661
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:55,200
You understand, We learned a lot
of that after we get married if 

662
00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:02,360
we've not gotten feedback, 
Pastor Steve Warman said. 

663
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,400
This has been years ago now, but
it's still good, he said. 

664
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,200
When contemplating marriage, pay
close attention to how your 

665
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,320
potential spouse treats their 
family. 

666
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,680
You may be treated the same way 
once married, how they treat 

667
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,960
their family, because once you 
become the family, you might get

668
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,440
the same treatment. 
B. 

669
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,840
What does, what does my family 
think about my, my potential 

670
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,480
mate, right? 
Because whenever, whenever 

671
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,440
there's parents or there might 
be immediate family that that 

672
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,200
may have somewhat of an 
objection, you need to really 

673
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,720
investigate that and see if that
is a founded objection, right? 

674
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,960
For this potential made thing, 
right? 

675
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,400
And, and to do that is 
difficult, right? 

676
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,760
Because you're involved in it. 
Some people have this grand 

677
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,880
ability, some of us don't so 
much so as much. 

678
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,880
But when you're involved in 
something, be able to step 

679
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,560
outside of that and then look at
it objectively, like from the 

680
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,800
outside. 
Sometimes even for sure, when 

681
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,080
you're in relationships like 
that, it's hard to step outside 

682
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,280
of that remote, that romantic 
love aspect and just give a hard

683
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,520
objective look at what you're 
involved with and the feelings 

684
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,760
that you have or really don't 
have for this person. 

685
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,120
And listen. 
Listen objectively to some 

686
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,480
unbiased, you know, opinions of 
the family. 

687
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,280
You got to listen, right, 
Because their perspective may be

688
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,800
different than what your 
perspective with blinders on is 

689
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,080
right now. 
But that third party, that 

690
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,880
parent, that whoever, they're 
not emotionally involved. 

691
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,960
They're not emotionally 
involved, all right. 

692
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,200
And so most of the time 
headlines, most of the time, I 

693
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,880
say most, they are not trying to
sabotage your relationship. 

694
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,080
Most of the time they're trying 
to keep you from future grief, 

695
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,240
Huh. 
So what's the Amen? 

696
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:04,040
Already talked to you about how 
marriage won't correct the 

697
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,080
faults, it won't even relieve 
the symptoms many times. 

698
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:11,800
So. 
So Abraham through the criteria 

699
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:17,480
that he gave the servant, they 
approved, Bethuel and Leyman 

700
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:23,360
approved of the wife, right? 
Go take her home. 

701
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,360
She proved that that marriage to
that man that she was joining 

702
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,280
himself to they sing the hand of
God in this There's there's 

703
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,440
basically they basically said 
there's nothing there's nothing 

704
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,600
that we can say in addition to 
what has already happened here. 

705
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,240
All right, there's there's 
evidence of all of this verse 51

706
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:44,560
take Rebecca go and let her 
marry Isaac. 

707
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,120
It seems all good really. 
This the family. 

708
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,160
I mean, they don't even like me.
Well, do they have good founded 

709
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,320
purpose for not liking you? 
I'm sorry. 

710
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:05,920
I mean, probably someone that 
wish he would have listened to 

711
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,560
to to to mom and dad would have 
been Samson. 

712
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,200
He will forever be the example 
that should have listened to his

713
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,720
mom and dad concerning his 
relationship. 

714
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:24,320
Now, I mean, he sees Timeth, I 
think it was was the first 

715
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,520
because he had a few. 
It's hard to keep track. 

716
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,480
He said Mom and dad, I saw a 
woman get her for me, number 

717
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,880
one, she wasn't Israelite 
criteria number one. 

718
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,240
OK, but but anyway, so he tells 
them about this girl that he's 

719
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:46,120
interested in. 
And not long after that, about a

720
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,200
year elapsed and he's going to 
go get this girl. 

721
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,480
All right, his first 
relationship with this girl from

722
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,560
there was so bad that his 
marriage only lasted 7 days. 

723
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,000
First marriage, seven days, 
first relationship 7 days. 

724
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,560
And it's over. 
Someone hearing me right now. 

725
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:05,800
And then she was given to 
another. 

726
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,640
And it seems like he has the 
same thing. 

727
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,720
He's drawn to the same thing. 
Another unbeliever. 

728
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,240
His Samson had weakness. 
He was the strongest man with 

729
00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:27,880
the Bible was with the worst 
weakness and and and he gets 

730
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,920
himself involved in a in a 
similar situation. 

731
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,800
And I guarantee you that after 
he had been made sport of and 

732
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,040
his eyes have been taken from 
him and he was standing between 

733
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,400
two pillars that a lad had to 
lead him to in the temple of 

734
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,040
Dagon and he had his hands on 
them. 

735
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,600
I guarantee you in that moment 
before he about pushed them 

736
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:46,800
over. 
He's probably thinking the back 

737
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,720
of his mind. 
I wish I would listen to the 

738
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:57,800
feedback of my family Drew to 
his demise. 

739
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,280
Let's go on verse 55, Genesis 
24, verse 55 and her brother and

740
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:09,600
her mother said, let the damsel 
abide with us. 

741
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,040
Now dad and brother says go take
her. 

742
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:19,440
Let's go, brother and mom says 
let the dams abide with us a few

743
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:24,480
days at least 10. 
But I I never knew if you met 10

744
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,200
in Scripture. 
I guess that's the way it is for

745
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,440
this one right here a few days 
and then nevertheless, let let 

746
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,960
the dams abide with us a few 
days at at least 10. 

747
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:40,240
After that she shall go. 
So why I want family input. 

748
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:44,840
We also got to be careful about 
unhealthy family attachments. 

749
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,960
Some people get tripped up in 
the leave and cleave principle 

750
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,640
of Genesis because of unhealthy 
family attachments. 

751
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,440
Adam Need didn't have that 
problem because they didn't have

752
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:10,520
a mom or dad. 
They didn't have the in law 

753
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:16,360
problem, but we do today. 
We have the mom and dad. 

754
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,720
There's some unhealthy family 
attachments. 

755
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:21,520
What are you saying? 
I'm saying sometimes there can 

756
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,840
be an unhealthy amount of 
control over that 20 some odd 

757
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,160
year on that's about ready to 
get married that after they get 

758
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:36,560
married, that parent or parents 
still want to control now not 

759
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,960
just them, but the whole 
marriage that they're involved 

760
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:47,040
in. 
Now someone say man, right, 

761
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:49,120
trying to control some dynamics 
of the marriage. 

762
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:52,640
And so then that causes problems
in between this newly espoused 

763
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,600
couple, right? 
Because they have the guilt and 

764
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,120
the shame that they need to, you
know, be pleasing the mommy and 

765
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,760
daddy because that mommy and 
daddy and yeah, I love them and 

766
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,120
you should love them and all 
that stuff. 

767
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,520
But if it's unhealthy, God has 
made this man or this woman, 

768
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:15,560
your husband or your wife leave 
and cleave, you're going to 

769
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,840
start a life on your own. 
You might hold to some of the 

770
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,040
traditions and patterns of your 
family, but you might not hold 

771
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,320
to all of the traditions and 
patterns of your family. 

772
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,600
This guy, he might hold to some 
of the traditions and and 

773
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,120
patterns of his family, but he's
probably not going to hold to 

774
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,440
all of them as well. 
You know what? 

775
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,160
They're going to take bits and 
pieces of both of their families

776
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,600
come together and they're going 
to make their own traditions and

777
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:45,480
patterns, and that's OK. 
That's OK. 

778
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,880
Think about the oddity, if you 
will, if this side of the family

779
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,440
thinks, well, this man, this is 
how he should operate his family

780
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,000
exactly like us. 
And then the woman side over 

781
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,880
here says, well, his family 
should operate exactly like us. 

782
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,320
Folks, they're going to be 
problems in paradise if those 

783
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,720
two families don't operate 
exactly the same and they're 

784
00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:10,680
wanting this new found couple. 
See, because we start, we start 

785
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:15,560
judging over here as family. 
Well, this is right and this is 

786
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,920
this is right when what we have 
here is just strong beliefs for 

787
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,680
preferences, but we believe them
so strongly it becomes a right 

788
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:29,040
or wrong issue. 
And if we don't watch it with 

789
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,240
there's unhealthy attachments, 
then it brings war into this new

790
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:42,560
home. 
Ezekiel 16 verse 4, Just for 

791
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,480
instance, I got to go. 
I was planning to be done within

792
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:50,240
45 minutes. 
Forgive me Lord, for I have 

793
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,680
thought and exaggerated. 
And As for thy nativity, this is

794
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaking of Israel. 
This is very metaphorical, but 

795
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,120
look at it. 
As for thy nativity in the day 

796
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,600
that thou was born by Neville, 
thy navel was not cut. 

797
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:07,400
There was that Washington water 
supple it's talking about. 

798
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,400
It was uncared for, wasn't cut. 
But I think the phrase I just 

799
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,360
want you to look at he says when
you were born by navel was not 

800
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,760
cut. 
Could you imagine having your 

801
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:22,640
newborn baby and then never 
severing the umbilical cord? 

802
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,880
I mean, only so many people's 
going to be a hoe that baby 

803
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,400
because there's only so much 
cord. 

804
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:38,520
That baby's on a leash. 
That baby is still being to a 

805
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,400
certain degree until the 
deterioration starts to happen, 

806
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:49,280
fed by one parent. 
Sometimes in marital 

807
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,640
relationships, we got people get
married and the umbilical cord's

808
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:59,960
never been cut. 
There's an unhealthy attachment 

809
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:01,120
there. 
That's not normal. 

810
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:07,360
All right, it's not normal. 
OK, let's go on. 

811
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,120
We still I can't do this, but 
we'll turn. 

812
00:51:09,240 --> 00:51:10,920
We won't do it, but we'll get 
close. 

813
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:19,400
Verse 58 And they called Rebecca
and said unto her, wilt thou go 

814
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:25,080
with this man? 
And she said, I will go talk to 

815
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,040
the family about they're like go
take her do it. 

816
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,720
But somewhere along the way, and
this is number 13. 

817
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:34,760
Mind you, this is my last one 
somewhere along the way, and 

818
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,080
this whole relationship, I'm not
going to call it the game, but 

819
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:42,720
this whole relationship saga, 
the question has to be popped. 

820
00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:48,480
That popped question, the very 
telling question. 

821
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:55,200
It's a very vulnerable question.
Will you go with this? 

822
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:00,480
Man has the promising approval 
of the family. 

823
00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:03,520
It appears as though God's hand 
is in this. 

824
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,040
This is a believer. 
It's got the godly heritage. 

825
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:11,440
It meets the criteria that 
Abraham had said. 

826
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:16,160
Financially reliable, right? 
I've done all the due diligence 

827
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:20,120
up to this moment. 
But now the question is, will 

828
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,000
you go? 
That's a big question. 

829
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,640
I know, I know. 
We love all the ways, you know. 

830
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:33,440
Oh, the proposal stories. 
Stop the folks, what we're 

831
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:38,000
talking about, what we're 
talking about is a question 

832
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:48,920
about will you be committed? 
Will you be committed when the 

833
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:53,080
when that question is popped, 
there's no, there's no hedging 

834
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,520
or or trimming the hedges type. 
That's pretty direct, right? 

835
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,680
It's, I mean, there's not too 
many ladies that the you guys, 

836
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,000
you know, will you marry me or 
vice versa? 

837
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,520
It happens both ways today. 
But they're not stepping back 

838
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,800
and saying, could you rephrase 
that? 

839
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,320
I didn't quite really 
understand. 

840
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:18,840
No, it's, it's pretty direct. 
All right. 

841
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,240
We have clear understanding of 
everything. 

842
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:26,560
Will you marry me? 
And please, will you marry me? 

843
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,920
And the way that we view love 
today, will you marry me? 

844
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,040
Is different than asking will 
you love me? 

845
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,240
Because again, today's society, 
when people are asking about 

846
00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:42,040
love, they're really asking more
about affection, emotional 

847
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:46,040
attachment when they say, will 
you love me? 

848
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,240
But whenever you talk about 
marriage, we're talking about 

849
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:53,480
more than the affectionate love 
we're talking about will you be 

850
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:58,240
committed? 
Will you be committed? 

851
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,160
That's really the question that 
we're asking. 

852
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,080
Will you go, Rebecca? 
Will you be committed? 

853
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,640
Will you commit and continue to 
commit? 

854
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,600
Will you, as we say in 
traditional vows, will you 

855
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:14,800
forsake all others? 
Will you say all others for this

856
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,160
one? 
Because when you make this 

857
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,880
choice, you're turning your back
on everyone else. 

858
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,280
When you make this choice, your 
focus is coming right here and 

859
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,400
it's not being diverted to 
anyone else. 

860
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,240
Now, Genesis 24 and verse 67, 
look at this. 

861
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:30,840
I believe it's the last verse 
here. 

862
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:35,920
Don't get too anxious. 
And Isaac brought her into his 

863
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:39,880
mother Sarah's tent. 
Rebecca took the journey with 

864
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,160
the servant. 
They've met there. 

865
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,680
Now Isaac has met her and 
brought her into his mother's 

866
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,840
tent and took Rebecca. 
Look at look at the phraseology 

867
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:55,160
here and look at the order. 
And she became his wife and he 

868
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,640
loved her. 
And Isaac was comforted after 

869
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:08,520
his mother's death. 
The foundation, the foundation 

870
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:22,070
for love is commitment. 
The foundation for love is 

871
00:55:22,070 --> 00:55:25,270
commitment. 
Love isn't the foundation of the

872
00:55:25,270 --> 00:55:30,360
marriage as we speak of it in 
today's Society of affection 

873
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:33,800
commitment is the foundation of 
the marriage. 

874
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:41,000
Isaac and Rebecca there in verse
67, she became his wife they 

875
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:48,600
they married and he loved her 
and again, don't misunderstand, 

876
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,960
I believe yes romantic love yes 
all a part of our story. 

877
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:59,240
But if you build a marriage on 
romantic love and it's a one leg

878
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:04,960
stool of that of your quote UN 
quote affection, you know how 

879
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,960
many I've heard it folks, people
said across from me on a couch 

880
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:16,560
and they say I'm just not in 
love with them in and out. 

881
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:22,040
And if that's all your marriage 
is built upon, this affection of

882
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:26,000
love, then you're in and out of 
love according to how you feel. 

883
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,080
What's going on in your marriage
from day-to-day, week to week, 

884
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,880
month to month. 
If that's your foundation, 

885
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:36,160
you'll crumble. 
But if commitment's your 

886
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:41,560
foundation, there'll be days you
don't feel in love, but you're 

887
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:46,000
committed to that other person. 
There'll be weeks and months 

888
00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:49,760
that it just might not be all 
flowers and rainbows, but you 

889
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,560
know what holds you? 
You're committed to that person,

890
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,280
Amen. 
You're committed to that person.

891
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,040
You're built upon that 
commitment. 

892
00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:01,000
And so soon after this, this 
marriage that, you know, 

893
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,240
commitment is going to listen. 
Commitment is going to be tried.

894
00:57:05,240 --> 00:57:10,800
And it was even for Isaac and 
Rebecca in the very next chapter

895
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,160
of Genesis, Genesis chapter 25, 
you know what starts to happen? 

896
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,880
They start to try to have 
children. 

897
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,920
Rebecca, she is barren. 
She can't have children. 

898
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,040
One of the most honorable things
a lady in that day could do for 

899
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,280
her husband is have children, 
particularly have male children,

900
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:35,640
but they can't have children. 
This is not the day of in vitro 

901
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,600
fertilization. 
This is not the day of all the 

902
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,480
day that we have today. 
He can't. 

903
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,520
So this very thing that would be
one of the most honorable things

904
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,960
that could come. 
He can't have love, could have 

905
00:57:47,960 --> 00:58:00,200
said I can't do this, but 
commitment said when I said I do

906
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,440
it included this. 
Amen. 

907
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,200
He doesn't abandoned her staying
with me tonight. 

908
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,600
And Rebecca said I will go. 
That was that was her 

909
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,960
willingness to do the leave and 
cleave ordeal. 

910
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:27,920
She was ready to leave the 
apparent family attachments, not

911
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,480
necessarily unhealthy, but just 
leave. 

912
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,160
She's being literally separated 
by distance, and she's going to 

913
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,080
cleave to this man Isaac, and 
they're going to get married and

914
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,360
he's going to have an 
affectionate love for this 

915
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:45,960
person he's committed to. 
So there's 13. 

916
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,480
Again, not an exhaustive list, 
but a good, a good, solid list 

917
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:56,960
From Genesis chapter #24 I 
cannot guarantee you that if you

918
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:01,480
abide by those 13, that nothing 
will ever go wrong. 

919
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:08,160
I wish I could give you that 
100% stamp of approval, but all 

920
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:14,400
of these things still involve 
humanity and we are flawed, even

921
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:20,760
saved flawed. 
So I wish I could say, but I do 

922
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:25,520
say I think that our, our 
percentage and I think our risk 

923
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,880
are lowered. 
It's not It doesn't totally go 

924
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,600
away. 
You say, brother McGee, the two 

925
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,280
people that are believers get 
married, that I have no 

926
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:33,560
problems. 
Hogwash. 

927
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:40,360
I've been there. 
My number one, my first year of 

928
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,200
marriage was whoo. 
I was just a kid. 

929
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,160
I was 19 years old when I got 
married. 

930
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:53,120
So #1 my prefrontal cortex was 
not completely developed. 

931
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,720
We will have the ability to 
reason correctly. 

932
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,360
I'm being honest, 
scientifically, this thing right

933
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:04,800
here, which involves all of the 
reasoning wasn't even fully 

934
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:09,880
developed when I got married. 
So yeah, I was stupid. 

935
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,000
And some of the first year 
idiotic stuff that we had proved

936
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:24,720
that now she was only 20, 1515 
months, 15 months older than me.

937
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:31,960
So there is stuff she's saying 
my free, my pre front door. 

938
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,200
I'm a slow bloomer. 
It's still trying to develop. 

939
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,840
There always will be stuff, 
right? 

940
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,720
There's not a destinate, there's
not a destination of a happy 

941
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:48,520
marriage. 
It's always a journey to that 

942
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,880
destination. 
Sometimes you touch it, 

943
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,720
sometimes your hands off it. 
I like to think of it like 

944
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,440
balance. 
I always say this, you guys have

945
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,240
heard me probably say this 100 
times. 

946
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,520
Whenever you see someone up 
there on that tightrope and 

947
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,200
they're going to say, oh look, 
they're balanced. 

948
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,840
There's really never a state of 
balance thing. 

949
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,160
The give the don't have to touch
it ever again. 

950
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,040
No, it's a consulate shifting. 
It's a consulate shifting. 

951
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,960
A consulate gauging and 
evaluating and so on and so 

952
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,760
forth. 
Amen. 

953
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:20,960
Bishop says it never quits. 
How many years? 

954
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:25,760
Bishop again going on 60 years 
of marriage. 

955
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,800
I just need to go home after. 
I mean, I'm just just finished 

956
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:38,160
27, so I I need to just go home.
Amen. 

957
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,480
Can we pray tonight as we pray 
in closing the service, a few 

958
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,960
things. 
I want to pray for number two, 

959
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,480
number one, and start with the 
second one. 

960
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,280
First. 
Number five and four, go count 

961
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:52,800
backwards. 
Number one, I want to pray for 

962
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,840
those that are single, whether 
it's they never married, they 

963
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:59,320
have been married before but are
in that state of singleness. 

964
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,640
And #2 I want to pray for those 
that are married, right, or the 

965
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,600
marriages, and then for those 
that may someday embark into a 

966
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,600
marriage again. 
All right, Can we do that 

967
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,640
collective collectively as a 
church? 

968
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:16,440
Father, I come to you tonight. 
God, I thank you, Jesus, today 

969
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,400
for your word. 
I thank you today, Lord, for 

970
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,240
grace. 
I thank you today, Lord Jesus, 

971
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,560
that you can have your hand. 
Lord, the affairs of the 

972
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,600
relationships of our life. 
I pray, O Lord Jesus, for those 

973
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,440
that might be in a season of 
singleness right now. 

974
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:37,080
Maybe they're entertaining Lord 
Jesus the thought of of of 

975
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,080
having Lord Jesus a relationship
with someone. 

976
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,040
I pray God that they could use 
the Lord Some of these tools of 

977
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,640
Genesis 24 to God be mile 
markers. 

978
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,360
The Lord they help them along 
the way. 

979
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,120
I pray, O Lord, give them wisdom
and knowledge and understanding.

980
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,800
I pray, O God, you're able to 
move on the marriages, Lord of 

981
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,840
this assembly people, Lord, who 
have formed that bond and 

982
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,680
they're walking, Lord Jesus, 
that journey day by day. 

983
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,200
And there are highs and there 
are lows and there are 

984
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,920
difficulties and there are 
smooth selling times. 

985
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,120
I pray, O God, help us God to 
stay tethered, Lord God to our 

986
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,600
commitments and help us God even
seek you, Lord, and even seek 

987
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,280

necessary, God, in order to get 

988
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,400
over Lord, pumps in the road or 
or difficult Lord Jesus times of

989
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,880
transition or God uncharted 
daughters. 

990
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,560
I pray, O Lord, protect the 
home, protect the family, 

991
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,160

everything that you have made. 

992
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,320
Lord, as a model, Lord of 
Christ, Lord of the church, I 

993
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,760
pray, O Lord, blanket this place
God, bring healing, God to where

994
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,600
healing needs to be 
encouragement where 

995
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,760
encouragement needs to be 
guidance. 

996
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,600
Lord, where guidance needs to be
offered. 

997
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,640
God will not fail to thank you 
and praise you Lord for what you

998
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,360
