God’s Hand On Our House | Jentezen Franklin

the following program is sponsored by

friends and partners of Kingdom

Connection we are to never never never

stop praying for our children as long as

we have breath we are to pray for our

children because our prayers are the bow

that sings our children and they cannot

soar without our prayers they cannot

reach the high places without our

prayers

I do believe what I’m sharing today is

absolutely a word for everyone here that

you will be able to relate to and in a

specific way in your life look with me

in Ezekiel chapter 43 verse 12 this is

the law of the house everybody say the

law of the house this is the law of the

house the whole area surrounding the

mountaintop is most holy behold this is

the law he says it again come on this is

the law of the house he’s trying to get

something across that that this is how

if you want me God saying this is the

law of the house verse 13 these are the

measurements of the altar and cubits the

cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth one

cubit and a handbreadth

and I want to talk to you for just a few

moments on God’s hand on our house God’s

hand on our house the common the common

measurement in the Bible is given as the

measurement of a man’s hand Noah first

mentions this term cubit and I’m gonna

build something here and I want you to

stay with me everybody say cubed cubed

is how they measured in Bible days they

didn’t have a measuring stick they

didn’t have a measuring tape so they

measured by the hand breadth or the or

the distance of this finger to that

finger and it’s called the hey

breath and the way they measured it is

they would measure your arm every every

man here I want you to do this I want

every man here to take your arm and put

your four fingers right where your arm

bends at the elbow basically and they

would measure out six and unless you’ve

got a weird arm if you measure it out

you can get four you can get six hand

whit’s all the way up to the top of your

fingers I measured it over and over and

it’s absolutely right give or take a

little bit and that’s how they used to

measure that was called a cubit if you

had six hand widths that measured one

cubit when God told Noah to build the

ark for the saving of his family he told

him how many cubits and they didn’t have

measuring tape and equipment

sophisticated engineering stuff like we

have they measured by hand widths of

cubits now what’s interesting is the

word cubit in the Hebrew language is M

ma am mah which means the mother or the

beginning so get this now in in in

Jewish synagogues they teach that your

arm which is the is called in Scripture

the cubit of a man is six cubits and

they teach this part of your arm is the

mother of the arm why because whatever

the mind can imagine it’s not enough to

imagine it the hands have the ability

the creativity the the skill to create

it and so the reason is called the

mother part of the arm is because this

one gives birth to it it’s not enough to

think it up here it has to be worked out

with your hands and is six cubits which

six is the number of man he worked six

days and then God said we’re gonna rest

on the seventh day cause that day

belongs to me six is the number of human

influence and what man can do and he

says it’s amazing what man

can do with his hands man the cubit of a

man’s hands can build a business can can

build amazing and astonishing things and

we see all that the world has came from

the work and the ingenuity and the

genius of man it’s really amazing now

this is if this is the if this is the

mother of the arm then I’m throw this in

this is the man this part up here is

them is the father of the man come on

that’s where the softball is right there

or or the mosquito bite whatever you

want to call it but but but notice that

the powers up here but the the ability

to create the ability to to begin the

ability to release that thing it’s only

a salt it’s only a concept until this

part of a man’s hands begins to build it

and then it becomes a reality but here’s

my point he said in John chapter 15 and

verse 5 jesus said I am the vine and you

are the branches and without me you can

do nothing he did not mean you can’t do

some things with human ability but you

can do nothing that will have eternal

consequence without him you can do

nothing that will be spiritually good

and eternally good without him without

me you cannot do what is eternal and

what he’s saying is this that that the

six represents human effort the six hand

Britz of a man represent what man can

build what man can achieve the kingdoms

he can build the corporations that go

all over the world amass millions and

even billions of dollars with this part

o nothing but intellect and these hands

and he he he says the six represents

what man can do but there are two cubits

in the

there’s the cubit of the six hand Brits

and remember one cubit equals six hand

Brits six hand breasts equals one cubit

but then there is the sacred cubit that

is found only in Ezekiel chapter 43 that

I just read from Ezekiel was shown a

vision and God said I want you to build

me a house that will endure a house

where children will be blessed and

here’s the key to it he said this is the

law for the house so notice there’s a

cubit and a cubit is how many hand Brits

everybody say six and then a hand Brit

add one more to it which makes seven six

is the number of what man can do but I’m

gonna add one more hand and that’s God’s

hand and he said this is the law of the

house this is the only way you’re gonna

build a house that’s going to endure in

the 21st century this is the only way

you’re gonna build a marriage that’s

gonna last this is the only way you’re

gonna raise children in a wicked world

that has forgotten about God and going

crazy the only way you’re going to build

this is the law of the house you do all

you can do give it everything you’ve got

all six hand breaths but then it’s gonna

take the seventh hand and that’s the

hand of God and what you cannot do on

your own my hands gonna come on your

hands and I’ll put my hand with your

effort and you’ll feel my hand with your

hands and I’m going to take my hand the

seventh hand and add it to your six your

six is what humans can produce what

human ability and human talent and human

gifting can produce but that how many

people do we know they have built

amazing corporations they have fame and

fortune and amazing kingdoms that they

have built with their hands but they

cannot hold their marriage together they

cannot hold their family together they

their lives are in shambles at the same

time they have built things from here to

here with natural ability but that is

not enough

the

the family the law of the home is a

supernatural thing and it takes the

seventh hand which is all of your effort

and then comes the hand of God the hand

of God I think about Elijah and how that

there was a famine in Israel the Bible

said that he got down and prayed and

when he started praying he told the

servant go look on the mountaintop and

see if you see any signs of a storm

because we’ve been in a famine and it

hasn’t rained for three and a half years

because see if you see any rain coming

and the servant ran and he looked out

and he saw nothing and he came back and

the Prophet said what did you see and he

said I saw nothing he said go again and

he ran again a second time and looked

came back and he said I saw nothing the

Prophet prayed and said go again go

again he goes four times five times six

times everybody say six six times and

nothing happens he comes back in the

Prophet said I want you to go one more

time I’ve done all that I can do and I

want you to go tell me do you see

anything and on the seventh he noticed

it’s the seventh hand now that’s about

to get involved he’s done it it’s our

job to pray for our family it’s our job

to intercede for our family it’s our job

to honor God and teach them and mentor

them and encourage them and set rules

and and stay on that it’s our job to do

that but once we’ve done our part I’m

glad he said go one more time and on the

seventh time after the six is exhausted

and now there’s one more trip and he

looks out and he came back and he said I

saw one thing I saw on the seventh time

a hand a cloud the size of a man’s hand

in the shape of a man’s hand and it’s

moving this direction he saw the seventh

hand coming to help him with the rain

that he needed to produce the crop in

his house and I’m saying to you that

when we do what we can do that’s why the

Bible said train up a child in this is

your part train up the child in the way

that they should go and when they get

old they may rebel they may act big

Sassie whatever but there’s a seventh

unseen hand that comes on their life and

wherever they go that hand won’t let

them go they can go off to college they

go to the bars they go to the clubs but

that hand won’t let them go and when it

gets through with them it’ll drag them

right back to the house of God set them

right on the seat and say now serve the

God of your father’s because there’s a

seventh hand involved in your life

somebody thank him for his faithfulness

in our families hallelujah praise God I

believe what I’m preaching the Bible

said in Psalms 127 as arrows in the

hands of a mighty man so are the

children of the youth I want you to get

this picture he said he said your

children are like arrows in the hands of

a mighty man to me that’s the dad every

man in this room say God I want to be a

mighty man not a weak man I want to be a

mighty man because my children need a

mighty man and he said as arrows in the

hands of a mighty man sword the children

he’s saying the arrows are like our

children and they are to be in the hands

of a mighty man but it’s not just what

my hands can produce I need the seventh

hand on my hand if my kids are in my

hand if their destiny if they’re called

if their purpose is in my hands as

arrows now what do i what am I to do as

a mighty man with these children there

if their arrows number one they don’t

come shaped like arrows I am too I am

too shape them

I am too sharpen them and then I am to

shoot them the job of every father is to

shape the children so that God can use

them I am to shape them and that’s what

I do when I come to church and that’s

what I do when I pray and that’s what I

do when I do the best that I can I’m

shaping their lives

I’m sharpening their lives and then at

some point notice they’re only in the

hand of the mighty man for a while

there come a time when you will release

them like arrows in a boat and listen to

this if the man is the archer and the

children are the arrows prayer is the

bow and always always always pray for

your children because the thing that

sends your children when they leave your

house we are to never never never stop

praying for our children as long as we

have breath we are to pray for our

children because our prayers are the bow

that sends our children and they cannot

soar without our prayers they cannot

reach the high places without our

prayers this is what a father does we

are to build character as we have these

arrows but for a while there’s gonna

come a day you’ve got them and I never

thought it would come to our family but

I thought those children would be in my

hands the rest of my life but you know

what just in the last few years one

after another they’ve been released

they’ve been released they’re going out

on their own they’re going in the

direction that I sit them and I only

have a matter of time to shape and to

sharpen and then to shoot we’re to build

character in our children who who is

teaching my kids character listen to

these words because they’re very

important and who’s going to teach this

to your children nobody but you nobody

but you listen to these words courage

character is all these words courage

courtesy discernment fairness generosity

gentleness honesty kindness obedience

humility self-control

patience persistence thankfulness who’s

going to teach our children that zeal

for the Lord who’s going to teach it

thriftiness who’s going to teach them

that

difference between between laziness and

work we are assigned them

responsibilities teach them there’s a

link between success and work put limits

on your children while you have them in

your hands put limits on their life the

Bible said in 1st Samuel 3 and verse 13

that Eli sons made themself vile and he

restrained them not notice this this

father has children that are that are

acting crazy and doing wrong and immoral

things and he restrained them not the

job of every father is not to just

ignore and let kids go crazy and do

whatever everybody else is doing but we

are to set limits because while we have

them we are to shape them we are to

sharpen them and then we are to shoot

them out with always our prayers on

their life so that when they get out in

college when they get out and there’s

all kinds of temptations they have

discipline they have character they’re

sharp they’re shaped and they’ve been

shot with prayer in the hand the seventh

hand goes with them and it will not let

go of them no matter how they try no

matter what they hear no matter who they

get around if I raise them right the

seventh hand is gonna go where I cannot

go and do what I cannot do shout a man

somebody 3rd John verse 4 says I have no

greater joy than to know my children

walk in truth

send them forth understand that when God

puts his hand with your effort you can’t

fail and many of you may be troubled

about your children maybe you’re

listening to me today and you’re dead

and you your father or your mother and

and you just are trying to raise these

children the law of the house is you do

all you can do and when you run out of

of all that you can do and you hit your

limit the seventh hand

the mighty hand of God will come and the

law of the house is only by me for

without me you can do nothing of eternal

consequence you can do nothing

spiritually good I am the vine you are

the branches and without me you can do

nothing but all when that seventh hand

is on your life as a dad as a mom as a

parent as a businessperson wouldn’t it

be powerful if today everyone who has

reached their limit and what they can

achieve and do had the seventh hand

because that’s what it’s going to take

in the day that we’re living in

you need something beyond intellect you

need something beyond ballgames and just

being in their life and all of that it

takes the anointing it takes the seventh

hand it takes the experience with God to

raise a Christian family in the 21st

century and I’m so thankful I I don’t

have to fight alone if I’ll do my best

all I can get you know let me close with

this but this is the truth the Bible

says of Goliath that he was six cubits

that means if if you were to take him

and stack him up that’s about one cubit

six cubits guess what he was nine feet

six inches

notice that he’s six cubits everybody

say 6 the Bible City had six fingers and

six toes 6 6 6 revelation says the

number of the Antichrist is 666 and 6 is

the number that man can produce it’s

human endeavor the devil wants to be God

so bad bana Christ wants to be God so

bad and he goes I’m gonna get there I’m

gonna get there and he gets the six and

it has to start over I’m gonna get there

I’m gonna get there I can get to the end

of what I can do but you can’t do it

without God and he tries it again and

all he can do is keep hitting sixes he

keeps running

six is the number of humanity and so

when David went out to fight Goliath it

was a type of Antichrist and there that

giant is 666 but here comes David and

he’s got the seventh hand and he takes a

stone and throws the stone and kills the

Giant but it wasn’t just his hand he did

every notice God didn’t God didn’t throw

the stone you do what you can do and my

hand will come on your hand and what you

can’t do on your own I’ll defeat the

Giants against your family against your

home there are some of you listening to

me today here in England and our

campuses and online and by television

and you got an addiction in your life do

what you can do get help and as soon as

you do you’ll look out and you’ll see

here comes the seventh hand to the

rescue what you can’t complete he can

complete he can bless the work of your

hands when his hand touches your hand do

you believe that do you believe that our

children our children absolutely are

going to serve God because the seventh

hand is on their life and whether they

know it or not they’re already marked

for the kingdom of God if you believe it

give the Lord the biggest praise you

can’t

hallelujah hallelujah I’m so thankful

that we don’t have to fight alone that

God’s hand the hand of the Lord can come

on our house and our homes and our

families maybe there’s things going on

in your home and your family right now

and you’re trying your best to fix it

but your effort your talent your ability

is not enough you can’t make the family

work without the hand of God on your

house and I believe that this message

today is one that the Lord wanted you to

hear and if while I’ve been preaching

the Holy Spirit is calling you saying I

want to place my hand on your life I

want to place my hand

on that home in those children and that

that husband or that wife

maybe there’s addiction maybe there’s

all kinds of things that such such

problems in the family in the home that

you don’t know what you’re going to do

many of you are watching me and you need

that hand of the Lord that seventh hand

to come and touch your finances you’ve

done all that you know to do now you

need God to bless the work of your hands

I’m praying for you today I believe it’s

about to happen and I’d like for you to

get right with God today I’d like for

you to accept and reach out and grab

that nail-scarred hand and say lord I

give you everything of God pray this

prayer with me right where you are just

say Lord Jesus today I receive that hand

of the Lord on my life heal me forgive

me cleanse me and I’ll do what I can do

I’m going back to you I’m turning back

to repentance I’m turning back to

Calvary and the cross and I’m going if

you’re not in church just say this I’m

getting up but I’m going to church I’m

going to I’m gonna do what I can do and

I want that seventh hand that hand of

God to come upon my life and upon my

house

father I pray for families right now for

homes that need a miracle I pray for

someone watching me who needs healing in

their body and they’ve gone the doctor

after doctor and the doctors have done

all they can do but we’ve never seen you

do all you can do God and I ask you to

stretch forth your hand to heal right

now in Jesus precious name Amen and amen

and I believe that as you have

surrendered your life and you’ve

received that prayer by faith that God’s

hand is upon your life and upon your

house you’re not in this alone

and you will overcome in Jesus name now

if you just prayed that prayer I want to

with you this month as kids are going

back to school that God’s hand will be

upon your children as you’ve heard today

that wherever they go there’s an unseen

hand we used to sing a song in the

church called the unseen hand and the

words would say something like there’s

an unseen hand that that man cannot see

this following me protecting me guiding

me leading me and that unseen hand is

upon your children today I speak that

and we want to partner with you this

is acknowledged in your home there’s

just something that you can’t ignore

about those old school things that our

parents and our grandparents did that we

need to do to pass on to our children
