Sermon Tone Analysis

TITHE:

INTRODUCTION:

ON LAST WEEK WE WERRE BLESSED BY A WORD FROM APOSTLE BLESSMEN !

AND DURING THE TITHES AND OFFERING I SPOKE ABOUT JACOB Going FROM BEING STICK POOR TO HAVING AND ABUNDANCE!

AND AS I MEDITATED ON THE BIBLICAL ACCOUNT OF JACOB THE LORD BROUGHT BACK TO MY MEMORY A CHILD HOOD MEMORY THAT GAVE ME OUR MESSAGE FOR THIS mORNING!

WHEN I WAS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD I WAS ON THE WRESTLING TEAM AND WAS A PRETTY GOOD WRESTLER!

I MADE IT TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND WAS IN THE FINALS!

EXP POund on the Match

HIS COACH WENT TO THE JUDGES AND TO THE REFEREES AND INTERCEDE FOR HIM WHILE I AM IN THE STANDS LOVING THE CHEERS AND APPLAUSE OF WINNING!

THEN I GET THE CRUSHING NEWS THAT MY PIN WAS NOT ENOUGH TO SUPERCEED THE POINTS HE HAD SCORED.

AND I HAD TO GO BACK TO THE MATT AND FIGHT HIM AGAIN!

AND I WAS CRUSHED AND TEARS BEGIN TO WHEAL UP AND BEFORE I EVEN TOUCHED THE WAS ALREADY DEFEATED!

SO IT DIDN’T TAKE MUCH EFFORT FROM MY APPOINT TO DEFEAT ME BECAUSE IN MY HEART AND MY MIND I WAS ALREADY DEFEATED.

AND WITH THIS MEMORY AND JACOBS ACCOUNT THAT WE READ LAST WEEK AND THE ACCOUNT WE WILL READ TODAY !

THE SPIRIT BEGAN TO SHOW ME THAT ONE OF THE REASONS BELIEVERS GET STUCK IN STICK LIVING IS BECAUSE THEY LIKE JACOB AND MY YOUNGER SELF IN THIS WRESTLING MATCH DEFEAT THEMSELVES IN THERE HEART AND MIND WHEN THEY ARE FACE TO FACE WITH A DEFEATED ENEMY!

SO AS YOU REST ON YOUR FEET FOR THE READING OF THE WORD!

TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR!

YOU ALREADY WON! DON’T STOP FIGHTING!

G

IN OUR TEXT WE FIND JACOB WRESTLING WITH THE PRE-INCARNATE CHRIST!

WITH OUT TAKING THE RISK OF ASSUMING EVERY ONE KNOWS!

INCARNADINED MEANS THAT JESUS MADE APPEARANCES ON EARTH BEFORE HE TOOK ON FLESH!

WHEN GOD ORIGINALLY GAVE THIS TO ME I WAS MORE IN THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF JACOB WRESTLING WITH THE LORD WAS SPEAKING OF JACOBS FAITH AND HOW HE STOOD FIRM AND CONTENDED WITH GOD UNTIL GOD BLESSED HIM!

AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT VIEW FOR GOD TELLS US IN THAT WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THAT!

BUT THIS MORNING GOD GAVE ME A DIFFERENT AND WHAT I BELIEVE IS A DEEPER VIEW OF THE TEXT!

THE FIGHT WAS THAT JACOB WAS WRESTLING WITH GOD OVER SOMETHING THAT HE HAD ALREADY WON!

JACOB WAS LIKE MANY OF US FIGHTING FOR FAITH NOT FROM FAITH!

LETS LOOK AT THE tEXT.

AND WHAT GOD IS TELLING THE CHURCH IS THAT SOME OF US ARE STILL FIGHTING BATTLES THAT GOD HAS ALREADY WON!

WHEN HE NEEDS US TO PRESS ON AND FIGHT THE NEXT FIGHT!

SO DON’

THAT WHY YOUR IN SO MUCH PAIN!

GOD HAS HAD TO REACH INTO THE HALLOW OF YOUR HEART!

SO THAT THE PAIN WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO MOVE ONTO WHAT HE HAS FOR YOU!

HE HAD TO REACH INTO THE HOLLOW OF THAT JOB! SO YOU CAN MOVE BY FAITH AND START YOUR OWN BUSINESS

TO HOLLOW OF YOUR FINANCES SO YOU CAN TRUST HIM NOT YOUR PAY CHECK!
