Dealing With the Madness In The Middle
Genesis 25: 21-28 Genesis 27:1 - 27:41
21And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 23And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. 27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 28And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
41And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
In the center of everyone’s life there is a source of madness some
1) Self Inflicted 2) Self Propelled 3) Self Induced
Pre-Ordained proportion of prophesy was manifesting itself with Rebekah’s
Knowledge, Rebekah had conceived twins but while in her womb there was a struggle Rebekah knew what God had said regarding this matter from day one that the younger would be ruler over the older.
Womb - Belly
Pastor - Teacher – Madness – Father – Husband
Some people want the blessing but they don’t want their blessing but don’t want it through transformation or conception but deception.
The womb is where the Birth Right Began
Jacob replaced Esau
Ephraim replaced Mannassah
Joseph replaced Reuben
Jacob has a terrible deal, he’s not one of the most interesting person to talk about in scripture.
He’s a:
1) Manipulator 2) Liar 3) Supplanter
Esau has a more practical profile
He comes from a dysfunctional family a mother who helps him in a plan to be Manipulative-Deceptive-Coercive
