behold the Virgin shall be with child
and bear a son and they shall call his
name Immanuel we just translated God
with us Eamon in with us is God
hallelujah now in the in the 90s I
remember one time I was reading this
verse and I was thinking yeah what is it
you know I always hear people say God
God be with you go with God
vaya con Dios you know God be with you
God be with you
but what how does that how does that
bless me how does that help me
God is with me so in the 90s and this is
the premise for my book unmerited favor
all right the story of Joseph was what
God brought to me
I remember reading this and what does it
mean God is with me and the Lord brought
the story of Joseph to me and that
became the premise for the book
unmerited favor okay look at Genesis 39
Joseph was brought down he was sold by
his brothers and brought down to Egypt
and Potiphar an officer of Pharaoh
captain of the guard an Egyptian bought
him of the hands of the Ishmaelites who
had brought him down there next and the
Lord was with Joseph the Lord was with
Joseph the Lord was with Joseph so he
was so how are they sold in those days I
found out that they were sold all right
naked completely naked because no no
householder all right anyone want to buy
a slave they don’t want to see any
disease or any trace so they are the
strip the poor slave and then the
bidding starts the bidding starts that’s
how Joseph was sold to Potiphar by some
amazing just after he says he was sold
the Bible says the Lord was with Joseph
so he didn’t have a savings account
he had no investments he had no one with
him he had no supporters he had no
family he had no wife he had no children
he had nothing naked no clothes on his
back no bowtie
nothing and the Lord was with Joseph and
watch this and he was a prosperous man
this is God’s definition of prosperity
if the Lord is with you emanuelle
you are prosperous I said the Lord is
with you in man Noel you are prosperous
so far the Jewish year when they heard
the prophecy of Isaiah being fulfilled
right now at least in this case was Mary
when she heard that it was a brought
great joy to her because they all knew
what it means for God to be with you
when God is with you you before God
blesses the things in your life and your
family and your possessions you are a
prosperous man the person becomes
prosperous for you you are a prosperous
man amen
some people think money satisfies money
doesn’t satisfy all right some people
think if they have looks you’ll be happy
no I know from experience yeah all right
again I’m just teasing I’m just teasing
see whether you’re awake or not
all right pastor Henry told me pastor
Henry told me about his name is young
sweet so he’s told me that bings young
sweet doesn’t make you happy I was young
sweet even when I was born but I wasn’t
happy until I met Jesus which
conversation never happened and the Lord
was with Joseph and he so the first of
all the area effect the first area that
is affected is that it got us with you
you got effect God is more concerned
about you before the blessings of
Deuteronomy 28 comes on you this year
2014 all right
god bless us you the very first blessing
of determing 28 is that God set you on
high and that’s where we are today all
right we are set on high at the Father’s
right hand in Christ Jesus and now all
the blessings come on us and overtake us
blessed wherever we are we are blessed
whether in city or in the countryside
does it it’s location location location
God is not the is you you you if my
blessing is on you you go to a location
location is blessed you go to a city
city is blessed you go to a country
country is blessed amen amen I believe
that I believe that if I’m here and
seeing up
singing upwards blessed I believe if I
mean us us is blessed I believe that I
really believe that I believe that
wherever you go all right
the place is blessed I’ve always said
our ladies want into a boutique the
boutique is blessed
all right so in other words this Jesus
with us means he’s not reckoning our
sins to us because it is reckoning our
sins to us he cannot be with us because
God is a holy God tries holy God the
first time one of the first times rather
that Peter met Jesus the first few times
all right Peter was was trying to catch
fish all night his profession being a
fisherman Jesus passed by and says let
down your nets for a catch all right he
says you know all the excuses I work all
night and I caught nothing in order but
because you say so I’ll let down one net
Jesus let down the nets Jesus expect
more all right to fill his boat you say
I let down the net and then the Bible
says he caught so much fish the net
break
no wonder and then finally when they got
the fish into the boat the boat began to
sink he had to call for help from his
partners his partners were the sons of
Zebedee James and John and then he
realized that the one that’s with him in
his boat was the Messiah that tries holy
God and what do you say depart from me
I’m a sinful man Jesus says don’t be
afraid don’t be afraid of what don’t be
afraid of fishes they are jumping around
this is a fisherman don’t be afraid of
what a storm there’s no storm but don’t
be afraid of what don’t be afraid your
sin was separate you from me
fear not from now on you will catch men
in other words Emanuel means he’s with
us he’ll walk with you there were
children you go to school all right when
school reopens don’t be sad all right
the Lord is with you and many of them
love with me what does that mean
so today tell them the meaning take down
notes the Lord is with you means even
when you are wrong when you do wrong he
will not leave you in manual he’s with
you to show himself a hero to show
himself strong another good man and then
goes on to say about Joseph and he was
in the house of his master the Egyptian
so he wasn’t the sea the sea oh all
right he wasn’t the guy running things
at first he was just a slave and he was
in the house he was a prosperous man
but he wasn’t the house of his master
the Egyptian you know we always think
that unless I’m a CEO all right unless
I’m the senior pastor unless I’m the
president
then I’m not successful well the true
success are people all right not
associating via their esteem and they
are worth with their job
but tying their worth in Christ can have
a good ear man the blessing is on you D
secure okay if your boss sex you he’s
sucking the blessing if your girlfriend
leaves you or your boyfriend leaves you
right they’re leaving a great blessing
they are right if you leave me now you
take away the biggest part of me amen is
a big part the blessing I just did not
even that someone anymore and it’s
master saw that the Lord was with him
stop there for a while this master saw
he imagined people the world looking at
you and this is one thing to see that
you’re prosperous it’s not a thing to
see that the Lord is with you
they can see I mean this is not
spiritual I see oh this is this is this
is Orchard Road Las Vegas eyeballs all
right looking at you in the natural and
can see that the Lord is with you number
one and nothing he saw and means he also
saw that the Lord made all that he did
to prosper in his hand the Lord made all
that he did to prosper in his hand this
Lord has been born this Lord when he was
born the same message was given this is
the Lord that will be with you I mean so
when you walk on earth everything he
touched I love it I just love it
you know there about the Midas touch
this guy was so greedy this King he says
that and all his going silver doesn’t
satisfy him so he says you know just
just give me the power he told a fairy
Rajini I don’t know what is it
all right anyway whatever a touch would
tend to go and he touch up in touch his
feel that we can go
you know all this deco here becomes a
really goal
alright then finally his child the one
he loved the most his little daughter
ran to him he touched her and she became
go your no sorry right so that’s not
good blessing a good blessing is that
whatever you touch God prospers so that
doesn’t mean money people think I
prosper a prosperous man is a man who
has a lot of money in the bank alright
Ike relates to his name now he was a
prosperous man and he was in his
master’s house as a slave but he was a
prosperous man why the reasons even not
because he was handsome not because he
was young not because he was diligent
nothing into it Joseph the Lord was with
Joseph
