Generational Garments | Church of God General Assembly | Jentezen Franklin

Thank you so much for watching this program, for being there. It means a lot and I'm thankful for the opportunity to come into your home wherever you're viewing this program. You really matter to us. We pray and put a lot in to reaching out and being there with a word from God for you and your family. I do believe what we're about to show you is going to touch your life. Some months ago I was asked to preach at the Church of God General Assembly, which is a large gathering of large denomination, eight knee and people. And they send their leaders in, and there were thousands and thousands of pastors and preachers and families that were gathered together in a large arena in Orlando, Florida. And I preached this message on generational garments from Exodus chapter 28, the presence of the Lord filled that room. I hope that you get to see some of the altar service, because it was one of the most powerful altar services, as God began to move. And we had young people praying for their mothers and fathers and grandparents, usually have the opposite, that the elders are laying hands on the younger, but I felt the Lord impress me to do something different in the altar service. And I have never seen so many tears. I've never seen so many families hugging and pulling together and forgiving and loving

and being healed and experiencing the presence of Jesus. It can happen in your home. It can happen right where you're watching this. Open up your heart. This is a word from the Lord. Exodus 28, generational garments. Together we're inspiring people to live for Jesus. If you're looking for more in life, to live with purpose and peace, to make a difference for your family and those in need around the world, Jesus is the answer. And our mission is to simply point you to Him. You're watching Kingdom Connection with Judson Franklin. - I'll begin reading with verse one of Exodus chapter 28. How many of you will help me preach just a little bit tonight? I am a crowd responsive preacher. Now take Aaron, your brother and his sons with him, verse one, from among the children of Israel that he may minister to me as priest, Aaron and Aaron's sons, Nadab Abihu, Elazar and Ifamar. And you shall make holy garments for Aaron, your brother and for glory and for beauty. You shall speak to all who are gifted artisans whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him that he may minister to me as priest. Verse three, or verse four, emphasize for the sake of time.

Again, it talks about the garments and it says, "And you shall make holy garments "for Aaron, your brother and his sons, his children." And then I would ask you to go over one chapter to Exodus chapter 29 as quick as you can. And verse 29 and the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them. The son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on seven days and when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the holy place. There is nothing more complicated and nothing more challenging than family life. I'm a preacher, I pastor a real church. I perform weddings, funerals. I visit people, I pray for people. There is nothing more challenging than family. The greatest blessing in life is family and sometimes the greatest sorrow in life can come through family. The family is God's plan on the earth today. Strong families will make strong churches and strong churches will make strong communities and strong communities will make a strong nation. We cannot forget that God's still desires, the family and there is what I believe tonight, you're in the right place for this reason. I had the love of God. and those that are there in person.

I want to bless families. I want to proclaim a blessing over families. I want you to stand and I want you to proclaim tonight that a new blessing and a fresh blessing is coming upon every family represented in the audience no matter where they may be here and around the world. God is going to bless your family. God is going to touch your family. God is going to rescue your family. God is going to deliver your family. God is going to anoint your family. He said, I want you to make them special garments. I want you to bring in the experts and I want them to make specially crafted garments but catch this. The garment is not just for Aaron, but it is for his sons. It is for his family. This family will not be like every other family. It will be a unique family that my hand will come upon when it is anointed and consecrated and these garments come on them. The garments that Aaron will wear will be the garment that his children and his children's children will wear. You say, well what has that got to do with me today? Because 1 Peter chapter 2 and verse 9 said that we are a royal priesthood and our families are not like any other families in the neighborhood. Our children are not just any children but God has marked our children. God has his hand on our children. God is defending and fighting for our children and I just want to encourage every person in the ministry. God is calling your family and the anointing has not changed no matter what has happened. Hallelujah. I just saw a little photograph of my father, Billy Franklin, church of God preacher.

He preached in Rocky Mountain, North Carolina where I was saved and filled with the Holy Ghost when I was 16 years old. My mother was baptized in the Holy Ghost, church of God raised, born and raised all of her life. Just baptized in the Holy Ghost at the age of six, prayed in the spirit at the age of six. She's 91 watching online and she's probably praying for me right now. See, I don't ever walk to the pulpit, just don't what I can do. Sometimes God will whisper to me when I walk out of the pulpit and I'm so stunned that the little outline that I had, my God, what just happened? He said it really didn't, many times He swissed her to me. It really went much about you, so don't get big headed. It was the prayers of your momma and your daddy and your grandpa and your grandmother. They stored it up and they made a garment and you're walking in things that they started. I can say Jesus is the priority of my life, but I won't pass that on unless that is what I wear every day, not just in the pulpit when I preach, but when I'm in my home, when my children see the real me. That's when you're really passing the garment. Do you have a prayer life? Do they see your prayer life? Do they, do you have the Bible as the theme of your life? If you have that, I want you to be encouraged and I'm not here to put you down. I'm here to tell you God seen every tear. God's seen every sacrifice. God's seen everything you've done for His name and He says, "I will not let your family go to hell without me dealing with them in a special way." Put on the garment of praise. You know, those warships in the Mediterranean see that our brave soldiers are fighting. Those warships are the launching of our warfare against our enemies and in the same way worship is how we launch.

I'm tired of backing up. I'm tired of the enemy beating us half the death in our families. I've been through it, my wife and I have been through it, but I can come with a praise report tonight. I never stop praising. I never stop preaching. I never stop believing. And every one of my children loved the Lord with all of their heart. Every one of them except one is in the ministry that He's in Washington DC doing something else. And I'm just trying to tell you, I've watched Hail come, I've watched Hail go. I'm on the other side of it and I've got faith for you even if you don't have it. Hail can't have our children. Hail can't have our babies. Hail can't have our, I don't know what the enemy's done, but God can restore the years. The cake aware, addiction can't have our children. (congregation cheering) Somebody put on the garment of praise. Don't wait until you see it in the natural. See it by faith and say He's preaching to me. (congregation cheering) The second garment. Where are the garment of praise? Secondly, where are the garment of faith? Second Timothy chapter one in verse five.

Paul said the faith that dwelt in units your grandmother or in lowest your grandmother. And in your mother, units Timothy. The same faith that I saw in your granny and I saw in your mother. And I know you didn't have a dad that we know of that stayed in the picture, but you were single raised by single mother raised and grandmother raised, but they anointed you at all. They laid their hands on you. They anointed your bad sheets. Come on, somebody knows what I'm talking. They walked the halls. They pleaded the blood and boy, the same faith granny had. And mama had that garment is on you. (congregation applauding) We need to pass on the garment of faith. That God can do anything. That God can save anybody. That God can heal anybody. Come on, we gotta get back to our basics. I still believe in miracles. I still ask, I don't think we need to quit water and that stuff down. I appreciate all of heaven and all that's coming. I believe in Jesus as coming soon, but I just wanna say, I read in this book in my name.

They shall lay hands. Don't do it if you don't believe it. Lay hands on 'em and say in the name of Jesus, God, heal them. We'll give you all the glory. - I was picked up by Pastor Matt Smith. I've never met him before. And his son, Eli. Eli was in the front seat driving and I was sitting beside him and Pastor Matt who is the Evangelism Director of Missouri. Where are they at? Are they in here? (congregation applauding) Is that in here? They're probably out driving somebody. But when he told me something from the back seat, I turned to the young man. I noticed his young and I said, "Well, what's your name?" And he told me his name and I said, "Well, what do you feel like God is doing in your life?" He said, "I'm called to preach." And his daddy, I turned around. Look, his daddy was smiling from ear to ear. I said, "Well, how's it going?" You know, that preaching, how's it going? I remember when I, you can't, he had been preaching. He said, "I preached my first sermon this past Sunday." He said, "My grandfather, who was a church

"and God preacher, introduced me." My dad is sitting in the back seat. He had to come out and get things ready for the General Assembly and I had to fill in for him in the pool pit. Oh, come on, somebody, that is success. That is victory. That is worth more than anything this world can offer. Get up on your feet and give God a mighty praise. Now, I want to do something here. So, so I want to do something. I want to ask, I want to ask something. I feel like the Lord showed me to do this. I want every teenager. as many of you teenagers who will, because the Lord showed me this in my spirit, listen to me. He said so many times it's the parents laying their hands on the children and blessing them, but if you would start believing in putting faith in those children, God would even, there will be times when the parents are going through such trials, especially as we get older. We need your prayers. You know, David could fight giants all day long, but when he became a little bit older, he went out to fight, was it a bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, I believe that was the name of that giant, and the scripture said that he almost got killed, but a new generation came up. Now, I want y'all to spread out, I want you to get like one line all the way around this building, because here's what we're going to do. We're going to reverse this thing. And if you've got a child down here, I want the young people to pray for the older people tonight. I want every pastor in this room that wants a fresh anointing on your church to come and

let these young people turn around, guys, turn around. And I want you to let your hands, because we believe in your anointing, I didn't know there were so many young people, but we believe in your anointing, we believe in your touch. I want dads to find, I want moms to find your children. I want you to say lay hands on me and bless our family. Come on. Come on. Come on. You know, I ain't seeing any silverheads yet, so this is all young people. All those hands up, guys, all these young people throw your hands up and begin to lay hands. Now, I want all of you that want to touch. If we believe what I preach, the same anointing that's on you is on them and don't kill their seal, don't tell them they're too young, let no man despise your youth. I want every dad, every mom, I know we can't all get down here, would you raise your hands on behalf of your family? May the Lord bless you. May the Lord keep you, I put this on your house. May the Lord make his face shine on you. May the Lord be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up his countenance, his favor, his full intention upon you and your family. May he give you peace in your family. Praise you. Those of you watching by television, watching around, just lift your hands and proclaim the blessings. The blessing on your family. Call your children's name out, call your grand babies names out, call your children's children's name out. Come on you pastors, come on you leaders, believe for revival in your youth ministry.

In my name they shall speak with you tongues, be filled with the spirit, be filled. Some of your mamas and dad is a weary, some of them are going through trials, some of them are facing physical situations, but your prayer young people, your prayer, God will hear you from generations to generations, there's a lot of prayer in that garment, there's a lot of fashion in that garment, come on worship all over this room. Just lift those hands, grab your white hands, grab your husband's hand, if you're a single mother throw your hands up and grab God's hand, cause he's for your family, he's for your family and he's going to lay a blessing on your family. Yes, yes, yes, yes, everybody works up right now, this is an atmosphere, that is generation. Jesus, Jesus from the mountain, Jesus from the mountain. >> Yes, yes, yes, yes. [MUSIC] Raise your hands all over the truth, lay them in for your children. [MUSIC] >> Why don't you pray for one another all over this building? They're such a sweet spirit, a sweet anointing, father's strength for your hand to heal, those who are watching, those who are hurting, families that are broken, marriages that need a miracle. God, I pray you in glory and the all and the why. I pray you and bring that together. Let the fold ring, let them get back in contact, restore unity, heal the broken, heal those that have been under severe attack. In their bodies, God, we ask you for that which only your hand can do. In Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, your name is our heart. >> Sing a prayer, sing a prayer, sing a prayer, sing a prayer, sing a prayer. >> In Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, in Jesus' name. >> Come on, you're wearing the garment of rings right where you're standing. Go to the young people, how to linger sometimes. Linger sometimes in worship, forget about your status, get out of your hand, and get into the spirit. Get into the spirit, let him fill you with the Holy Ghost if you've never been filled.

Just praise him, and he'll fill you, ask him, and he'll give you the kiss to the Holy Ghost. >> Oh, we say, sing our yet so be the only one. >> Let's sing it, church. >> I am so happy to be the only one. >> You're weaving a garment for your children's children. >> I am so happy to be the only one. >> I am so happy to be the only one. >> I am so happy to be the only one. >> I am so happy to be the only one. >> I am so happy to be the only one. >> I am so happy to be the only one. >> Everybody pray this prayer, say Jesus. >> Be complete and absolute Lord of my life. I surrender to you. I give you my talent. I give you my life. I give you my relationships. I give you my future. I surrender all. I lean into you now. Put on me the garment of praise. Put on me the garment of faith. Put on me the garment of holy, anointing and consecration. I want to be a vessel you can use in my generation, in Jesus' name.
