you know we’ve got so much to be
thankful for God has been so good to us
all let’s be thankful and I hope you and
your family have a blessed blessed happy
Thanksgiving this year
god bless you
if you have your Bibles I’d like for you
to turn with me please to the Book of
Psalms 139 this is one of my favorite
chapters in all of the Bible and I’m
preaching tonight on the subject of your
worth to God your worth to God when you
go back in the Old Testament you read
and understand the Old Testament there
were Gentiles and there were Jews you
and I most of us unless you are of a
Jewish background or lineage you’re you
would be considered as the Bible calls
you a Gentile and when Jesus came he
came for his own people the Bible said
he went into his own in his own received
him not he went and he came for the
Jewish people as a matter of fact when
he told his disciples he sent him out
two by two and he said go pray for
people go perform miracles in my name go
heal people and he said when you do this
he said only to the household of Israel
are you to bless and pray for do not
Jesus gave the strange instruction do
not pray for anyone who is not of the
household of Israel meaning if they’re
not in the bloodline of Jewish descent I
can see in my mind a family coming and
they were not and that’s why when you
read by the way the Old Testament and it
says so and so begat so and so and so
and so begat so and so and you’re
thinking God out of all the things that
you could have said why do you go into
such detail of telling us who the father
and the great-grandfather and a great
great great great great for grandfather
what is that all about it’s about a
bloodline it’s about understanding how
powerful bloodline is and so stay with
me watch this so so so here’s a woman
and she’s got a sick child and she
approaches one of the disciples of Jesus
and he’s performing miracles in Christ’s
name and and he says who is your father
and it’s not a Jewish name and he says
I’m sorry you’re not of the right stock
you’re not of the right background
you’re not of the right lineage you’re
not of the right bloodline
you can I’ve been instructed that I
cannot pray for you
and your child that sounds unbelievable
to us even Jesus one time when a woman
came to him in mark chapter 5
she brought her hurt her daughter who
was tormented suicidal out of her mind
the Bible said she was possessed with
evil spirits and she begged Jesus to set
her daughter free and and Jesus said
it’s not right for me to give the
children’s bread meaning those of
Abraham seed I cannot give this miracle
to you and he said because it’s not
right for me to do this for dogs he
called her a dog and I love this woman’s
tenacity because she said but Lord even
the dogs can lick the crumbs under the
table and Jesus was so moved he he
basically said I’m not supposed to do
this until after Calvary but I’m going
to skip a whole dispensation and because
of your faith great is your faith I’m
going to heal your daughter because
you’re getting in to what I’m here for
to the Jew please understand to our
generation most of the people in our
generation they see their family
bloodline as an obstacle not an asset
young people have no pride in their
bloodline because many of them don’t
even know who their father is or they
come from a background that that there
is no pride in things that have happened
in their family but to the Jew you have
to understand their identity their
credibility their stability everything
about them was tied up in their
bloodline the sum total of the Jew was
connected to Abraham your influence with
God resided in whether or not you were
in the bloodline of Abraham because
Abraham made a covenant with God and God
said I’m going to bless anyone in your
bloodline the seed of Abraham meant that
you were the benefactors of everyone who
came before you Paul the Apostle even
underscores this even more when he says
that we were alien speaking of us
Gentiles he says we were aliens from the
Commonwealth of Israel strangers to the
Covenant of promise it means we could
not get into the blessing we could not
receive the blessing of the bloodline
because we were of the right stock we
were of the wrong stock the wrong
inheritance the wrong genealogy no
inheritance no part the power of the
bloodline when you were in it was you
became a benefactor of everyone who was
before you an example of this is in the
New Testament in the book of Hebrews
because the Bible said that there was a
guy named Levi and the Bible said God
gave him credit for paying his ties and
giving two hundred years before he was
ever born because he had a
great-great-great-great grandfather
named Abraham who gave and God said I’m
going to bless all the way down for two
hundred years your son son son son named
Levi I guess you could say it was in
Levi’s jeans come on that’s the best
joke you’re gonna hear all night long he
had Levi’s jeans well that’s good for
the Jews
pastor Jenson thanks I appreciate you
giving me that little history lesson but
what’s that got to do with me Ephesians
chapter 1 says that you were chosen
everybody shout chosen you were chosen
before the foundation of the earth
before there was a generation of Abraham
God chose you to each what did he choose
you for to put you in the bloodline of a
blood man by the name of Jesus Christ
now now to comprehend what it means to
be chosen to appreciate the scope of
what it means to be chosen and I want to
say to every person in the father’s part
of this balcony on the main floor
wherever you are whoever you are listen
to this preacher just a moment you are
chosen you’re chosen to be here you’re
chosen to hear this message God knew you
would be here
you’re chosen so that’s very important
now watch this so so in Psalms 139 I
think an example of what I’m trying to
teach you is found in technology
particularly when it comes to the study
of Thoroughbred racehorses a
thoroughbred is referred to as a blood
horse and for over 300 years the people
who deal with blood horses it’s fairly
expensive race horses name blood horses
are called blood stock agents this is
the article that I found blood stock
agents and a blood stock agent is
someone who buys and sales horses that
cost hundreds and hundreds of thousands
of dollars they have it’s a it’s
actually a science these people study
and they know horses genealogy like you
wouldn’t believe
as a matter of fact the blood stock
agents don’t deal in in horses they deal
in blood a blood stock agent is not
looking for pretty a blood stock agent
when he goes to buy a horse doesn’t care
how cute the horse is he really doesn’t
care what color the horse is he really
doesn’t care if it looks mighty and
strong it may look swaybacked in his
ears floppy and it doesn’t look at all
that he wants to know is one thing he
wants to know about its bloodline he
doesn’t care about its weight he doesn’t
care about any of the outward
characteristics when you buy a
thoroughbred you’re buying a bloodline
North America’s leading sire is a horse
named storm cat and if you’ve got a
mayor that you would like to breed with
the stallion called storm cat it will
only cost you four hundred thousand
dollars and what do you get for four
hundred thousand dollars do you get any
guarantees do you get anything that that
you know is going to return your
investment here’s what you get you get a
coat that is born and it’s got cloudy
eyes it’s got wobbly knees
it’ll walk around and fall down it it
will tremble in its own weakness and
shake and at that moment the blood stock
agent will gladly pull out his checkbook
and write a check for four hundred
thousand dollars I’ll take it because
the blood stock agent is not put off by
present weakness he understands that in
the bloodline what is being inherited a
blood stock agent
please understand we’ll pay $400,000 and
he’s not purchasing present achievements
of that weak pitiful coat
he’s purchasing past achievements solely
valued on his predecessors victories the
worth of that little coat is solely
attributed to the bloodline that he
comes from and he may look weak and he
may look defeated and he may look
pitiful and he may look like he can’t
ever be an overcomer and he can never be
in the winner’s circle and he certainly
will never have roses around his neck
and he’ll certainly never win the
Kentucky Derby are any other Derby
because he doesn’t look on the outside
like a winner but if he’s connected and
got the right bloodline the blood will
overcome his weaknesses and they know it
do you understand that that wobbly
little coat sired by storm cat with
wobbly legs and cloudy eyes and unsteady
stance has in him to linguae Northern
Dancer South Ocean Secretariat knee
arctic native dancer something royal and
Bey Lord Rose all champion racing horses
they’re all in that bloodline and the
power of a bloodline is you receive all
of the achievements of those who’ve gone
before you now this is what blew my mind
and I’m already more than half through
this message turn to somebody say this
that’s good news come on
watch this before a fault before a fault
or a coke a fold or a coat is even born
a blood stock agent pours over volumes
of statistics he does evaluations and
records and pedigrees and genealogy
researching researching researching to
ensure the probability of producing a
quality coat it may take years every
expense and effort to purchase a winner
is spent physical measurements of
thousands of horses are made and then a
certain pattern emerges from the process
Colts are measured at 14 months in
digital screening is done to analyze see
I thought they just let the horses hook
up and they had a little coke no no no
no listen to this they’re there they’re
given a number to see to see how their
parts fit together and then the
information is studied and to determine
their genealogy their geometry I should
say they’re given a number to see how
their parts fit together they’re given
biochemical analysis they have a stride
in in motion test their cardiovascular
system is studied 58 different things
from muscle mass to bone structure are
used to study and analyze their
efficiency for example if the back of
the horse is too long the energy
required to raise the front end is too
great and it was slow the horse down if
the front leg structure is not
completely perfect it causes the horses
projectory to be off and it makes him
climb like an airplane if it’s too low
then his maximum velocity is lost from
the push off from the gate and so the
hind legs must be in perfect harmony
with the front legs if the front hooves
hit the ground too early it creates a
braking effect that shortens the stride
as a matter of fact there’s a complete
breakdown that’s done of a mayor of the
mayor and the stallion that they are
thinking about letting breed stride leg
angle foot strike acceleration of limb
action size of heart size of lung other
major organs and after
thousands of mayors are studied and
after thousands of stallions are studied
and then their descendants are studied
and then after all the bloodline is all
broken down into individual components
months and years even of research on the
mayor and the stallion finally they are
selected and what the cult will be in
size in capability in height in
strengths and weakness’s is calculated
on computer and on paper in the minds of
men in virtual reality before they’re
ever born before they’re ever brought
into this earth they already know what
their weaknesses will be what their
strengths will be what they’re the size
of their nostrils the size of their
heart the size of their lungs what their
bodies will look like what their legs
will be like it’s already down in
virtual reality they will not let a mare
in a stay and come together to breed
until they have it completely evaluated
what they will produce every ancestor on
both sides is studied and researched and
evaluated to make sure they’re getting
the right size of everything that they
wanted after months and months and
months of research a mare is selected a
stallion is selected to Butte to produce
the kind of Colt they desire now get
this big point the Colt doesn’t exist
yet just in the thoughts of the blood
stock agents he’s not even been given
his birth yet but before he’s ever born
there’s a purpose and a plan and before
he’s ever born the blood stock agent
sees him in the winner’s circle sees him
with the Roses on his neck
season overcoming every weakness sees
him through the bloodline that he comes
from more than a winner he’s acquired
his victory through another that’s the
power of a bloodline
now that’s the natural now let me go
quickly to Psalms 139 this is why I love
this chapter so much listen to the
wording of David listen to these words
Oh Lord verse 1 he said you have
searched me
the Hebrew word as you have researched
me you know my uprising in my down
sitting you are no accident I am no
surprise you might have surprised your
parents but you didn’t surprise God and
I need to tell you you didn’t come from
your parents you came through them you
came from God listen to what he says my
substance was not hid from them when I
was made in secret God watched me being
put together my substance the word
substance in Hebrew is is embryo
Kalume embryo when I was in my mother’s
embryo you watched me God being put
together an unformed mass in thy book
all my members were recorded all my body
parts he can tell where you got all of
your whole looks it’s all in your blood
in God’s books then if that’s not enough
he says verse 16 when as yet there were
none of them I didn’t even exist
but-but-but-but on the drawing board of
heaven in the thoughts of my heavenly
blood stock agent God was putting
together you and your children and your
children’s children with a plan with a
purpose with the destiny then he sums it
up and he says how precious are your
thoughts to me O God how great is the
sum of them if I could count them they
would be more he thinks about you more
than the sands of the seashore do you
know how long he’s been working on you
that’s why you can’t give up that’s why
you can’t quit that’s why you can’t take
your life that’s why you can’t waste
another day on drugs or alcoholism are
living some life with no meaning and no
direction and no purpose God has a plan
for your life you’re better than that
you’re not a piece of flesh to be passed
around and be used over
no God has a plan he knew what you could
be before you ever got here how precious
are your thoughts of me Oh God me I’m a
nobody I’m a nothing but Israel you
wrote it he knows my name I am friend of
God he holds me the Bible said in the
palm of his hand hmm
you’re not the product of a moment you
are not the outcome of a day you are not
the conclusion of a year and you’re not
the result of a decade you are a child
of eternity and one day you will still
be alive in eternity you will never die
you will be in heaven or hell but you
will be alive somewhere Jeremiah in
Jeremiah chapter 1 put it this way
before I was in my mother’s womb you
knew me did you hear what I just said
but that’s why life is so precious
that’s why we need to understand God as
the giver of every life and he said
before I was in my mother’s womb you
knew me and ordained me and called me to
be what you called me to be that’s in
your Bible in Jeremiah chapter one I was
on a television program some years ago
and I’ll never forget it there was a
little couple that was interviewed
before I went on
he’s a 700 club program and they had
they had told a story and it would
caught my attention I want to give it to
you real quick they said that they had
just had a newborn baby they had two
children one was about three years old
maybe two two-and-a-half and the other
child was newborn and they brought the
newborn baby home but the two and a half
year old began to get jealous of all the
attention the newborn
pretty common Charice and i’ve had five
and five children and it’s not unusual
for for the the older ones to bite the
younger one and let them know you’re
coming in on my turf especially girls I
don’t know what the deal is but girls
especially and any anyway listen to this
so so so they’re sitting there and they
said so we brought our newborn baby home
and and and the little top little two
and a half year old was not handling the
new the new attention that the new baby
was getting real well and and you know
they really had to correct the child and
all of that and finally one day the
little two and a half year old got up
and said to the parents I want to be I
want to go say goodnight to the baby to
my to my sister and the little fella
took the door and he said mama I want to
do it by myself
and he he closed the door and little
fella climbed up on the crib and she
opened the door just to peep in to make
sure everything was all right and she
said that that child said to the little
baby laying there the newborn infant
quick this is what she said quick tell
me what God looks like I’m starting to
forget before you were in your mother’s
womb I knew you you knew me the Word of
God declares I believe that many of you
today are realizing the power of the
blood of Jesus Christ to overcome
everything you’re facing whether it’s
disease sickness whether it’s family
issues we are standing here today
