praise and the honor Jesus name we pray amen and amen you may be seated this morning I want to read the verse of scripture again Genesis chapter Genesis chapter number 3 and verse number 20. and Adam called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all living in one way to understand the Bible is to look at the setting of a scripture look at the entire chapter look at the entire setting of the scripture sometimes the entire setting of a scripture the entire chapter the background of a scripture such as one that I read to you this morning sometimes when you understand the background of the scripture the background of it that scripture begins to shine like a diamond that has been placed on a black velvet cloth because it just gives you the background of this church family today the third chapter of John the third chapter excuse me of Genesis third chapter of Genesis is the record of the saddest day in the history of man it eclipses 9 11. it eclipses the atomic bombs that were dropped over Japan it eclipses all of the school shootings combined it eclipses all of Hitler's genocide of the Jewish people it is the saddest day in the history of humanity for on this day man of his own choosing chose to walk in and to believe a lie and because Adam and Eve believed or Eve believed that lie that day all of the sufferings all of the tragedies all of the senseless crimes that are committed we want to say every day but now we're living with every moment of every day senseless crimes are being committed it all happened in the third chapter of the Book of Genesis when Eve believed the lie and ate of that tree man lost his standing with God sin reared its ugly head and would be like a growing cancer as it went from the Garden of Eden to spread murder and suffering and Agony and pain in the lives of man but in the midst of that setting God allowed Adam to look at Eve and why would he do this because Adam heard God say that the promised Redeemer would come from the womb of a woman when Adam heard God say that from her womb Genesis 3 15. would come a seed from her womb that would totally Crush destroy analy defeat the adversary when Adam now looks at Eve he now see he this is the second time he named her the first time he named her was when he woke up after God had caused a deep sleep to fall upon him and God took one of the ribs of Adam and the Bible says that with that rib from Adam God made a woman and Adam calls her a woman when he woke up from that sleep and looked at her and some have emphasized the word when Adam saw her for the first time he said Whoa man oh man the word woman means taken out of man but now after the fall into sin After the Promise has been laid upon the woman that from her womb would come forth a redeemer which we know him today is Christ Jesus our lord Adam said it's time to give you another name the Bible said that Adam named her Eve he named her Eve because she was going to be the mother the mother of all living I know I'm not going to do this next bit that I've written any justice at all but let bear with your pastor for a moment from the time of conception the mother is aware that new life is being developed inside her body and for the next nine months there is the possibility of Mourning sickness swollen ankles sore backs crazy food cravings etc etc and finally comes the labor pains the tears then that golden Unforgettable moment that you first hear the Cry of your child and hold him or her in your arms now you feel the constant role the constant Soul responsibility of the infant it's constant it's 24 7. it's constant probably mother the first words that you spoke after the birth of your child the first words it probably came out of your mouth were simply to the doctor is he is she okay that feeling of being responsible for the rest of their lives as a mother stares at that infant from the time they are infants kill their babies young children teenagers and yes even into adults mothers feel a soul responsibility for their children amen please understand mothers today please understand I just did a horrible job you can do a whole lot better telling what nine months we're all about please understand that a mother has been given a god gifting a mother has been given a god-gifting to give her children identity and to give their children purpose a mother has been given a god-given gifting to give the child identity to give the child purpose Proverbs 29 and verse number 15 says this Proverbs 29 15 the rod and reproof give wisdom but a Child Left to himself bringeth his mother to shame please notice what's missing there it doesn't say and father now not that it's not that the father wouldn't be shamed but the wise man places the sole responsibility that the mother should use her God gifting to give her child identity and to give her child purpose upon this Earth because be well assured mothers that if you fail to give your child identity there's a world that will give them identity mothers me you will assured today on this your most special day let Pastor remind you be you well assured if you have no purpose for your child the culture we live in has a plethora of purposes that they will line up to give to your child but I believe I'm in a house today with not only mothers biological mothers but I believe that I'm in this house today with a bunch of Godly mothers today that are stepping up and saying I will take that role I will decide the identity of my child I will decide the purpose of my child the Bible says different translations of that but a Child Left to himself bringeth his mother to shame it's also said But a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother another translation says but a child who is unrestrained brings shame to his mother so we see today that the mother is given the god-given gifting the god-given gifting to give her child identity and to give her child purpose when I was growing up an all too familiar phrase came out of my parents mouth mainly my mother's mouth when I left to go to school or I left to go out in the neighborhood or I went to go into the house of the new neighbors that had come into the neighborhood guess what I heard don't you forget who you are don't you forget who you are she's trying to tell me don't you take on an identity that you're not in Proverbs chapter 26 or excuse me Proverbs chapter 22 and verse number six again we're in this wisdom Book of Proverbs Proverbs 22 and verse number 6 simply says train up a child in the way everybody saved the way train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it this word trained today has two definitions to it number one it means to dedicate it means to dedicate a child in the way that it should go to dedicate a child dedicate means it's you you have a purpose for it and in our use of the word dedicate it is for a god-given purpose at the end of my message today brother sister Roberts are going to dedicate their precious son to the Lord today and what they are saying is we're giving him back to the Creator who gave him to us so this word train here train up a child in the way that it should go this word train means to dedicate and this word train means narrow this word train means narrow so whenever you were doing training it was a narrow path that you had them on it wasn't a wide choose any way you want to go it was a narrow as a matter of fact when I read that definition that when we train up a child make his or her way narrow I couldn't help but remember what Jesus spoke about the pathway to heaven or the pathway to hell he said the pathway to hell is a wide Road it's a wide road but said if you want to go into the kingdom of God straight is the gate somebody help me now straight is the gate and narrow is the way you can be lost by a number of ways but you can only be saved by one saving name there's only one way to be saved and there should be only one way that we're going to raise our children our children are going to live for God that's the identity that God has given us as parents not going to wait to see if they like church not going to wait to see if they want to come to church I'm going to train them up in the way in the way that they should go well now pastor Pastor let me help you out today sonny boy let me help you out and I'd like young man let me help you out young man today you may turn them off toward church if you do that just let them decide on their own if they're going if they're if they're going to serve the Lord or not well let me ask you something uh Mrs or Mr Einstein do you make your children take a bath do you make them have good hygiene you make them get in the shower and get soaked water and a washcloth or a washcloth do you make them do that oh yes I do do you make them brush their teeth uh yeah every day I have them or aren't you afraid you're going to turn them off against water aren't you afraid you're going to turn them off against toothpaste I mean you're making them come on you know I'm being absurd today ask for me and my house when we are given children we are given children for the sole purpose to give them their God identity and their God purpose and if you believe that clap your hands unto the Lord if you believe that today train means to dedicate train means narrow train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it Proverbs chapter 31 verse number 27 talking about the chapter of a virtuous a powerful mother a virtuous a powerful mother saw at proverbs 31 verse 27 she looketh well watch this woman now she looketh well to the ways of her household can we connect brother Nolan the last scripture train up a child in the way it should go this virtuous woman and please mothers today do not be deceived do not seek your value on the cover of Vogue magazine do not allow Hollywood or I call it Hillywood do not allow those to tell you what a woman looks like and what a woman should act like when it comes to the god-given identity and a purpose grab you a Bible get around the people of God and let God begin to tell you where the true beauty of a woman lies verse back to verse 27 she looketh well to the ways of her household and Edith not the bread of idleness you know you only get one chance mother to raise that child mothers I know today you may not have a lot of knowledge of pouring concrete but let me Edge let me educate you real quick all right when that concrete comes in that truck and that truck is spinning round and round mixing that concrete from the time that concrete is poured into that form the clock starts ticking the clock starts ticking you know why because that concrete starts hardening up if you want it to be a four foot sidewalk by 20 you better have a form that is four foot by 20. if you want that concrete to be smoothed and even you better get you a trowel out because time begins to tick that concrete begins to dry up you can't stand there when the concrete's poured out and somebody holler and say hey the edge of night just came on and all my children just came on in general hospital and Ryan's hoping and I'm going to say if you watch a lot of that you're going to end up in the hospital you ain't going to have any hope and you're going to live on the edge of night for sure but anyway let me let me just go let me just go on and preach a little bit today hey come over here we got so over hey I decided to leave this concrete along here for a few minutes and you go off for a few hours can I tell you what you're going to come back to you're going to come back to something that is already set up it's already there it's set up it's set up in the way it's formed can I tell you that when God gives us our children we can't do the let's wait till they're three let's wait till they're six let's wait till they're ten let's wait till they're 13. in the world they may have different age groups 13 16 to get a driver's license 18. all of that but not in the church in the church from the moment they are conceived in the womb they can hear our voices from the moment that's true from the moment that they are conceived in our womb and they begin to grow in the womb they can begin to hear voices they begin to they begin to understand they know they know that they are loved come on mamas for they look up well she does not eat the she does not eat eateth not of the bread of idolist mothers it's not time to be idle you only listen the days that you have the days that you have are numbered train them now speak of the way now speak think of it now train them now look at verse 28. her children arise up and call her blessed well brother Carpenter you just don't understand my children haven't had such a hard time training my children to to to to to read their Bibles to pray I'm having such a hard time doing this uh they're not calling me blessed right now would you please notice the scripture says her children will arise up right now they don't know what's good for them that's why God gave them to you they don't know what's good for them right now they don't know the friends they should associate with they don't know the things they are they don't know the things they should be doing or not doing they they don't know how important it is to do their homework they don't know how important it is to do these things that's why God gave them to us because we know how important that is and if we will continue to do mothers our god-given job that girl that you're having a hard time with right now is one day going to say to you maybe she said it to you today in your Mother's Day card mom thanks for not giving up on me Mom thanks for praying for me mom thinks that you were always there they will arise and call her blessed the goal of a Godly mother please listen to this closely today the goal of a Godly mother is not keeping her children out of trouble please do not let the goal if you're a mother or a father today me I just want to keep them out of trouble I want to keep them out of trouble please don't let your goal as a mother be keeping them out of trouble but let your goal be keeping them in the truth if your goal is to keep them out of trouble you've got a job on your hands friend but if your goal is keeping them in the truth can I tell you today the truth will keep them out of trouble if you would just keep them in the truth don't my goal is I I I just want to keep my boy out of jail I just want to keep my girl out of trouble I want to keep listening that's all well and good but don't let that be your goal your goal should be that identity and purpose if you train them up that you're a special young man you're a god-given young man you're a god-given young girl you're a gift from God you're special you're unique there's never been another one like you God has a future for you then you are instilling in that child their identity and their purpose so when the world comes and tries to tell our children that there's somebody else or that there's another plan from a young child they're going to begin to say no I'm not I'm special I'm unique there is a God I believe even a Creator I believe the ministry come on Mom it's small things it's small things Mom it's not difficult things join the ministry Mom it's small things such things as by your child a Bible remind the child daily to read the Bible remind him daily nag them daily have you read your Bible reward them for reading their Bible reward them for reading their Bible remind them to pray remind them to have a time of prayer can I tell you that very few family devotionals very few family devotionals at the Carpenter House never represented a Holy Ghost Field church service we remember that them kids didn't want to pray get down there and start praying next thing you know Lauren's done smack Fallon Nolan's gonna kick somebody over here quit quit that quit it we're praying we're praying kids come on get down there and pray let's pray come on pray not a long prayer not a long prayer but we just tried to instill prayer in their lives we just tried to read a Bible verse to him he said carbon had a custom there what we did to our kids every morning before they went to school it was one sheet one page of a search for truth chart one page them kids were told about dispensation you don't talk about trying to get kids up that are sleepy that have stayed out late from Sunday night and you got them up and you're trying to tell them why Esau killed Jacob and all this I mean he was trying to and the old enemy would say oh it's not doing any good but you know what God knows Small Things Are Powerful read description to a mama pray pray with with them Small Things read through Bible have a word of prayer before they leave for school why Mom because you give your child identity you give them identity let's go back to Genesis chapter 4. verse number one for a moment our first mother Eve the first mother Genesis chapter 4 verse number one remember the phrase I've been using mothers give the identity Adam knew Eve his wife she conceived in Bear Cain and said everybody say and said she conceived in bare Cain and said who's speaking come on who's speaking today Eve is speaking today and she conceived in barricane I want to hammer this away and said what did she say I have gotten a man from the Lord what did she say I have gotten a man from the Lord mothers what are you saying about your children oh I think it's amorable we want our children to to grow up and have good jobs and have titles on doors we we want that for our children we want them to get educated we want them to we want them to to work with their heads and not their back I get it I get all that and that's well and good but the number one thing you should want for your child is that they know God what good would it be for them to be millionaires if they know not God what good would it be for them to be Senators congressmen presidents of the United States if they know not God brothers and sisters today and pointedly to the mothers the greatest job that we have is to give our children the identity you are a man from the Lord You Belong to the Lord she said I have gotten she spoke it I have gotten a man from the Lord she again bear his brother Abel and Abel was a keeper of sheep McCain was a tiller of the ground go down to verse number 25 of Genesis 4 numbers 25 of Genesis 4 Adam knew Eve his wife and she bear a son somebody help me now she bear a son and who's doing the naming Eve is doing the naming and she called his name Seth for God said she hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel whom came slew and to saith follow this and to saith to him also there was born a son and he not not Eve not Eve but Eve's son Eve's son Seth called his name in US then begin men to call on the name of the Lord now symbolically there is meaning in these names the name Cain means a possession a possession it means a possession when Cain came out of Eve's womb she said I have a possession I have something that's been given to me by God can I tell you our possessions here on this Earth are not cars and houses and clothes and bass boats and four-wheelers and all of that our possession on Earth is our children let's not let's not Overlook the most valuable possession the house will burn down the car will be stolen the four-wheeler will blow up the bass boat will sink to the bottom of the lake but church today our possession they're going to live forever they have a soul your house doesn't have a soul your car doesn't have a soul material things don't have a soul that our children have a soul word cane means possession the word the word Abel means breath the word Seth means compensation compensation and the word Enos means a man and it means a new race of men I look at these four names today and I believe that they're there in scripture for reason Cain lost out because he began to look at things as a possession mothers today you have no greater possession than your children you have no greater thing that's going to bless you I'm all I think I understand today we live in a culture where many women have to work outside the home to make ends meet I understand that but I would tell every woman something today don't do it unless you have to because you need to be the mother and to raise those children up in the way I know this is old-fashioned I know I'm not in step with culture right now I know there's people that will probably blow things up and all of that but you know what let them blow things up let them do whatever they want to do but God's word is the truth when they're trying to get a generation to know their identity we're going to be enjoying a generation that's going to live for God and going to love God and going to serve God and if you believe that today just give him praise just follow this today the name Abel means breath please remember it was Cain that killed Abel it was Cain who got sidetracked with possessions that killed the breath that was in Abel he was Adam and Eve that came together again and now a new a child was born and the name means compensation or the name means substitute or compensation it's there that Eve looked at Seth and Eve said God is giving me a compensation There Is No Greater Joy There Is No Greater Joy as a Godly parent than for your children at whatever age they are to fall under conviction and lets hot salty tears flow down their face There's No Greater Joy than to see our children fall into conviction and come to the altar There's No Greater Joy from a parent or a grandparent to see a crowd of people praying over here or over here on Sunday night or down here on Sunday night and wonder who they're praying with who are they all gathered around and when you go through the crowd you find a grandson or a granddaughter with their hands lifted calling out on God can I tell you that's the greatest compensation that a man that a woman would ever receive is to see their children live for God notice this Eve Eve did not name Enos the name Enos means a new race of people a new race of people the Bible said when Seth was born Seth had a son and Seth named his son Enos and the Bible simply says and then men begin to call upon the name of the Lord there was a new race of people that had overcome the mistakes of the Garden of Eden I'm here to tell you today that all of us ought to have as a goal to live his Godly and close to God as we can so that our descendants will keep this precious name of Jesus going on from generation to generation with my remaining time I want to talk to you about another mother the mother of Moses Moses father's name is amram Moses mother's name is jacobed Moses father's name means exalted people Moses's mother's name simply means Jehovah is Glory once again the surroundings give light to scripture amram and jacobed are living in Egypt they have been living there with their families for several hundred years they're poor they're beaten they're slaves but checked into the bosom of amram and tucked into the bosom of jacobed is an Abraham promise that God is going to bring them out of the land of bondage our god Jehovah is going to visit us one day and our god Jehovah is going to deliver us from Egypt land the longer they believe the taller the Egyptian pyramids were the longer they trusted this the more their backs were beaten somewhere in amram and jacobed's heart they tucked away a promise from God again not being redundant but we live in a culture that is every day making laws to try to imprison our faith we live in a culture of every day they're trying to do things to back us into a corner they're trying to do things of restriction and silence our voices and the country of Canada our neighboring country to the north it is against their laws to preach certain things out of the holy book of by the Bible and uh we're not secure here there's laws already that have been passed and there's laws that will be passed that ever try to restrict us from our religious freedoms today we will one day be told if Jesus doesn't Rapture the church we will one day be told Reverend Carpenter it doesn't matter we don't care if you preach Jesus as a way but do not preach Jesus as the way Reverend Carpenter we don't believe we don't we don't care about this or we don't care about that but you're going to have to bend and bow to culture and you're going to have to Define what we find and cross our T's and Dot our eyes but I stand here today not alone I stand here as an amram and there's mother of jacobeds that are here to a day that are going to stand with me and say in the midst of a Godless dark culture we are still unexalted people in the midst of a Godless culture we are still Jehovah receive the glory we don't care how we're scorned we don't care how we're looked at somebody said the church will eventually lose its tax-exempt status let her lose it my friend but let God's word remain the truth today all at me Exodus chapter number 2 and verse number three and when she could no longer hide him jock a bed and amram had a son culture said throw him in the Nile River give him to us and when she could no longer hide him she took for him in Ark of bull rushes damned it was slime with a pitch put the child there in she laid it in the flags by the river's Brink his sister stood afford off to wit what would be done with him Moses now it has no name it's just a Hebrew child the mother and father create a vessel a waterproof vessel a basket a waterproof basket and they lay their baby in the Nile River Moses's Sister Miriam follows the little basket of where it would go to see what would happen to it would it be eaten by alligators would it sink to the bottom with an Egyptian open up the the Ark of bull rushes and slit its throat what will happen with it it just so happen God's hand will always be upon the children that we place in a protective environment God allowed that little Ark to go right down to where Pharaoh's daughter would come and take a bath every morning and that morning Pharaoh's daughter came down to take a bath and her Maids saw this basket bobbing and floating and they pulled that basket in and opened it up and when they opened it up the Bible says the child wept and Moses's sister not being but an ear shot away saw the compassion of Pharaoh's daughter it's one of the Hebrew babies they saw compassion they're not going to kill him they're not going to throw him in the drown him in the now they saw the compassion and guess what Mariam Moses's older sister comes up and says should I call for one of the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you should I call and Pharaoh's daughter said of course called for one of the Hebrew children and would you have to guess who Miriam went and chose I can just hear that little barefooted girl as she's running back to where she lived and I think she's saying this word over and over again Mama Mama you won't believe mama you won't believe what's happened you won't believe what happened Mama the little baby floated down to where Pharaoh's daughter was taking a bath and she wants somebody to nurse this child now look at how God can work things out and so Moses's mother comes down never identifies herself as Moses's mother he never identifies herself says I hear you want one of the Hebrew women to nurse she said yes said take this child and nurse this child mature this child and I will even give you your way wages what a God we serve God is able to get the job done and make the devil pay for it I mean to tell you God can get the job done we can raise our children we can raise them in the house of God God's hand is upon any people that'll put their children into the hands of God oh let me oh let me Rush we don't know how long Moses's mother had him I've heard from three years I've heard from three years to eight years old from three years to eight years old there's a scripture in second Timothy 3 15 that says this Paul is writing to Timothy he says Timothy from a child thou Hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus that Greek word child there is breatheth and it means not only an infant but it can also mean a child yet unborn an unborn child now do you really think that an unborn child can't hear the scripture well we need Scripture for scripture right we need Scripture for scripture an older woman named Elizabeth who would never give birth to a child her husband Zachariah works in the temple he's a priest has a vision from an angel an angel tells him they're going to conceive and of course the conception in Elizabeth's womb is going to be none other than John the Baptist the fire breathing fiery John the Baptist and Elizabeth becomes pregnant with a forerunner of Christ John the Baptist now Elizabeth and Mary are cousins six months later six months after Elizabeth has conceived in her womb she's still carrying John the Baptist in her in in in in in her womb and some of your some of you women are saying she's six months she's not here she's more you know you know caring John the Baptist that's pregnant Angel tells Mary she's going to conceive and she's going to Bear the son of God in Luke chapter 1 verse 39 it says after Mary receive these words Mary Luke 139 and Mary arose in those days and went into the Hill Country with haste came into the city of Judah and entered into the house of Zechariah Zacharias and saluted Elizabeth now we don't know what this word salute means exactly other than Greetings or hello or good day it could have more it could have the news she wants to give she comes into the house and she's saluted she spoke in verse 41 and it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary The Babe leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost now folks I didn't write this I'm just the Mailman today but when Paul said from a child you have heard the scripture you have known the scripture from an infant or from an uh from an unborn developing child inside of the womb can understand the scripture somehow somehow John knows inside of Elizabeth's womb the Bible said to Jeremiah before you were in the womb I knew you and I called you to be a prophet somehow John knows his identity when he's yet within Elizabeth's room and when John hears the voice of Mary that will bear the Son of God the Bibles I didn't write it books the Bible said the Babe leap inside of the womb and Mary was filled with the Holy Ghost we're not going to wait till they're six years old we're not going to wait till they're able to talk we're not going to wait to some age of seven or eight or not while they're in the womb mama lay your Bible on your pregnant belly and begin to talk to your baby if you know it's a boy say son you're going to grow up to know there's only one Lord one faith and one baptism son you're going to grow up to be a special young child oh give God praise right now let me in this musicians would you come let me end this right quick I don't know how long Moses was kept with his mother three to seven years we don't know but we do know this we do know this that jocka bed told Moses his identity joche bed told Moses his identity I don't care how much I don't I don't care how much they can get educated in our colleges against our religion acts 7 22 says these words acts 7 22. and Moses was learned in all the wisdom of Egypt of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and in Deeds and when he was full 40 years it came into his heart to visit his Brethren the children of Israel Hebrews 11 24 by faith when he was come to years refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter choosing rather to suffer Affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward by faith he forsook Egypt not fearing the Wrath of the king for he endured as seeing him who is invisible listen to this today Church the three to seven years the jacobit had him the three to seven years that she said Moses we are God's people your father's name means exalted people and my name means Jehovah is the glory our descendant Abraham had a vision that we're going to be in a Strange Land but we're going to come out with prosperity Moses I don't know when but you are we're one of these people and you're going to come out of this and I can see her as walking that seven-year-old boy down step three to seven-year-old boy no name boy down and she walks him in and she hands him over she hands him over to Pharaoh's daughter and for the next 33 to 37 years he went to the Yale the Harvard he went to all
