the following program is sponsored by

friends and partners of Kingdom

connection

hello and welcome to Kingdom connection

and I want to wish all of the wonderful

mothers a very very Happy Mother’s Day

this week we’re so thankful for you and

we treasure you I know my mom who is

still alive and still you know ministers

to so many people in our church she is

over our seniors in her

we call it the wisdom club in her

ministry and they are touching and

changing lives daily and I’m so proud of

her she’s 80 years old and she she works

circles around most of us for the Lord

and she raised me and my brothers and

sisters to do the same and what an

impact view wonderful mothers are having

on your families that’s what my message

is going to talk about today I believe

you’re really going to be blessed even

the guys will find this an interesting

story because this one right out of the

Old Testament about wise women and what

they did and it’s one of the most

unusual stories in the Old Testament I

want you to hear this story

I want you to lean in because I believe

God is going to speak to you as you hear

this message today let’s go right into

the service wise women I want you to

open your Bible with me to the book of

2nd Samuel chapter 20 second Samuel

chapter 20 verse 1 of second Samuel 20

there happened to be there a rebel

everybody say he was a rebel and a rebel

was full of rebellion that’s where that

word comes from and his name was sheba

and then verse 3 david came to his house

at jerusalem the king took ten women his

concubines and he had left at the house

and put them in seclusion supported them

but did not go into them they were shut

up to the day of their death living in

widowhood I’ll explain that in a moment

but verse 16 is where I want to focus

now take your PIN out and underline some

things if you if you get a chance then a

wise woman cried out from the city hear

hear

please say to Joab come nearby that I

may speak to you when he had come near

to her the woman said are you Joab and

he answered I am then she said to him

hear the words of your maidservant and

he answered I am listening if you see a

man sitting

here you turn to Him and say finally a

man that will listen come on

verse 18 so she spoke saying there’s a

parable in these parts that says they

shall surely seek guidance a table

that’s the name of the city therein and

so they would in disputes verse 19 I am

among the peaceable and the faithful in

Israel you see to destroy a city and a

mother in Israel why would you swallow

up the inheritance of the Lord and Joab

answered and said far be it far be it

from me that I should swallow up or

destroy that is not so but a man from

the mountains of Ephraim Sheba the son

of Baraka by name has raised his hand

against the king against David deliver

him only and I will depart from the city

so the women said to Joab watch his head

we will throw it to you over the wall

tell you what these women didn’t play

around verse 22 then the woman in her

wisdom that same woman in her wisdom

went to all the people and they cut off

the head of sheba and threw it out to

joe ham and he blew a trumpet and

withdrew from the city every man to his

tent so Joab returned to the king of

Jerusalem the Bible said she was a wise

woman and I want you to see this story

because the Bible said that she saw her

City in crisis and when she saw the city

in crisis and Joab when David saw this

awful man named Sheba who is leading a

revolt he said to Joab his number-one

soldier into a bersia one of his mighty

men he said I want you to go and I want

you to kill him I want you to get rid of

him because this is David’s words he’s

more dangerous than Absalom ever was

wipe him out and so they chase him and

he runs into a city called Abel this man

named Sheba who is a rebel

and he goes into this city and amazingly

the people in the city embrace him and

give him refuge they shut up the city

they seal up the city they raise up the

walls lower the gates reinforce

everything and here comes Joab and his

mighty men and when they ask or want

that rebel that’s inside of that city

the people are not concerned and so Joab

takes battering rams the Bible said he

began to ram the walls and he began to

round the gates non-stop noise

twenty-four hours a day

these massive logs and their ramming the

gates day and night day and night put

yourself in the shoes of those

inhabitants of that city as the walls

are shaking as the ceiling in the homes

are shaking as they’re constantly at two

and three and five o’clock in the

morning hearing the battering rams and

they know that when those walls come

down and when those gates come down

there’s going to be death to their

families and death to the city and this

woman this wise woman saw what was going

on and nobody was addressing it and

nobody her family was in danger her city

was in danger her life was in danger

she said to herself if nobody’s gonna do

anything I’m gonna do something and the

Bible said that as they were attacking

the walls and as they were battering the

walls God’s people were under attack and

surrounded and against the home against

the family and some of you feel that way

today the battering rams of hail and

it’s not just one area but it’s multiple

areas and you feel surrounded and Hales

trying to destroy your family destroy

your home destroy your business destroy

everything when that happens you need to

be like this wise woman and ask why what

is the issue and so she decides that I’m

going to become responsible I’m sure

that there were judges there I’m sure in

a male-dominated society there were male

leaders who were supposed to take charge

I’m

where there was some elders who who were

supposed to sit at the gates and and

make decisions but they were not doing

it and so this woman this wise woman

said I’m going to be responsible if no

man will do it and nobody else will do

it I’m going to take responsibility I’m

not gonna let my family perish I’m not

gonna let my loved ones perish I’m not

gonna let my house and my city perish

I’m going to do something I’ll be a

responsible woman God give us

responsible women who will pray who will

fast who were worship who are tired of

waiting on everybody else to do it and

if you don’t have a man that’ll do it

you become a responsible woman and you

say I’ll do it and if you don’t have

someone who will do it for you you do it

for your family and you do it for

yourself we need women who will take

responsibility and she said she went

outside the gates of the city and she

said hear me Joanne notice her title she

gives herself

I am a mother in Israel she didn’t say

I’m a mother of my children she said I’m

a mother in Israel implying that I am

taking responsibility for my whole

nation I am taking responsibility for my

city I am taking responsibility for my

family I wish that there was a man who

would do it but since there is no man

stepping up I’m going to take the

responsibility and she said I’m a mother

in Israel I am concerned about my

children and my children’s children I’m

concerned about the battering rams that

are destroying the walls and destroying

the gates and destroying all that God

has blessed us with I am concerned I’m a

responsible woman she was she became

responsible secondly not only was she

responsible but she was respectful she

respected Joab and his authority she

spoke respectfully to him she spoke

respectfully about her dwelling place

about her city she goes out and she says

let me tell

you about the city you’re trying to

destroy let me tell you about what you

are wiping out with those battering rams

let me tell you what kind of place this

is she says there’s a parable a proverb

about the city that if you have

questions and you bring them to this

place it’s the end of the matter

you’ll never question again because this

is a place of answers this is a place

where people come confused and find

direction it’s a beautiful picture of a

woman defending her church when the

battering rams of hail are trying to

destroy the family in the home and the

nation it’s not a man but it’s a it’s a

mother I think we need to quit

minimizing our prayers and minimizing

who we are and what we’re called to do

and it was a mother in Israel who said

you know what my prayers can make a

difference in my intercession and she

said let me tell you Joab what you’re

trying to wipe out with those battering

rams this is a place where people come

and find answers the problem solver is

here the answers that people need it’s

here in this city the direction

marriages are being put back together

homes are being put back together

addictions are being broken in this

place and this is a place where we can

get answers and it’s a woman who says

not only am I responsible but I am

respectful I respect this place and I

respect leadership this woman was so

powerful because she said I am one of

them that are peaceable and faithful

it’s rare when you find a woman that is

not only faithful we we don’t have as

much problems with that I’m faithful to

pray faithful to go to church faithful

to love God faithful to serve God but

she’s not only faithful she’s peaceable

she has a peaceable spirit she is not

disturbed and she is not angry she’s

peaceable and she’s faithful the Bible

said that if you have a peaceful spirit

a soft answer can turn away wrath

the Bible said blessed are the

peacemakers not the troublemakers the

peacemakers and I tell you what Satan is

afraid of is women who are not only

faithful to God faithful to their

families faithful to their husbands

faithful to their children faithful to

what God has called them to do but

they’re peaceable they are a peacemaker

they have a peaceable spirit not a

troublemaking spirit a soft answer turns

away wrath peaceable and she said I’m

peaceable and I’m faithful and I’m

saying to you today that she was not

only a woman who who was responsible and

respectful boy I just think that’s such

a big point because it’s easy to lose

respect and when you lose respect

something lifts off of your life

especially to Authority when you lose

respect in your life

I thought about Sarah and the awesome

respect that she showed Abraham her

husband he was not a perfect man he was

full of flaws he lied and says she was

his sister and let the king take her and

she looked at him and and knew he was

lying and thought what a coward what a

liar you are and yet the Bible said

later she called him with so much

respect she had so much respect

she called him Lord not Lord Lord on

another occasion when his nephew lot was

kidnapped he got 318 men pulled out

swords and they went after and took him

from the kidnappers but when his own

wife don’t you know they had an argument

over that that good-for-nothing lot that

stole everything we have you go rescue

him but you let the king take me and

don’t raise a butter knife and lie and

say I’m your sister and I can and he can

have me

don’t you know there was an issue there

but she didn’t lose respect for him

she still called him Lord meaning an act

of respect

don’t lose respect for authority she was

a responsible woman she was a respectful

woman and thirdly and lastly she was a

ruthless woman the Bible said that she

said that Joab why are you destroying

the city and he said I don’t have a

problem with the city I don’t have a

problem with you I don’t have a problem

with your house I don’t have a problem

with your children I have a problem with

what you have allowed to take refuge in

your life you’ve allowed a rebel or

rebellion to come in and because you let

this rebellion come in we’re going to

tear down the whole city but we really

aren’t after the whole city we just want

that one rebel and him only and

sometimes you think when the Word of God

is being preached and when the preacher

is preaching and there’s something in

your life that you know is not pleasing

that God’s just coming to wipe you out

level you level everything to be he’s

not doing that he’s after that part of

your life that is in rebellion against

God’s Word and all God said all Joab

said to her he said hey said I’ll tell

you what he said if you will get that

guy that rebel named Sheba and and

you’ll turn him over to us then we won’t

have an issue and the battering rams

against your family against your home

against your marriage against everything

it’ll all stop this is all about there’s

something in you that shouldn’t be there

and it’s an act of rebellion that’s

going on and it’s time to deal with it

and I like her attitude because she got

ruthless she didn’t get squeamish she

didn’t get oh oh girly about it she goes

in and she says I’ll do I’ll tell you

what I’ll do

she said you wait out there and you look

up in the sky and when you see his head

come over the wall you

know that we’ve dealt with rebellion how

many of you know that’s a that’s a mean

woman right there come on she’s ruthless

she said I so won’t my home and family

to be blessed that anything that the

king the point is the king didn’t like

what was taking refuge in that city and

she said anything the king doesn’t want

in here I’m not gonna have sympathy for

sin I’m gonna throw its head over the

wall I’m gonna throw unforgiveness head

over the wall I want to throw addiction

over the wall I’m gonna throw this this

shame of the past and guilt and

captivity and bondage I’m gonna throw

rebellions head over the wall it’s

getting out of here you can’t have my

family you can’t have my home you can’t

have my children I’m gonna throw it over

the wall and the Bible said that she

went in and got the other girls and they

said let’s deal with this and the next

thing you knew Joab was out there and he

sees a head come over the wall and he

blows the trumpet and says thank you

very much problem solved the king is

well pleased with you you got his

blessing battering rams cease and I

guess what I’m trying to say to you is

simply this sometimes

God wants us to deal with things that

the king is not pleased with and the

reason the enemy has the right to bring

the battering rams and try to destroy

our families our walls our gates our

homes is because we are too easy on sin

there’s too much sympathy toward

iniquity too much sympathy toward

rebellion too much sympathy you got to

throw its head over you gotta throw it

over the wall you got to get it out of

your home get it out of your life you

got a

diction in your life throw it over the

wall quit having sympathy for the devil

in that sin in your home the lust of the

flesh the lust of the eyes the pride of

life throw it over the wall immorality

all the things that the enemy tries to

bring drunkenness and a drugs throw it

over the wall the battering rams will

stop your home can be blessed your home

can have peace your home can have joy

the favor of God can come upon your

dwelling place but you’ve got to take

the thing that that the Holy Spirit is

saying the king is not pleased with and

throw it over the wall the Bible said

there was a king named cesira he was

mean slaughtering people and he got

tired and he was running and hiding and

he came in the tent of a girl named Jael

this is in judges chapter 4 and he said

I’m coming in and I’m gonna rest here

and give me some food she said aren’t

you that king that’s causing yeah what

are you gonna do about it nothing she

fed him

she gave him a glass of milk the Bible

said fed him some food and she said why

don’t you lay down and take a nap I’ll

watch and let you know if anyone’s

approaching and cesira said that’s a

good idea

that’s about what you’re good for so you

do that you certainly aren’t a threat to

me and he laid down and went to sleep

and Jael took a tent peg and a hammer

and while he was snoring

she put now I’m not giving you a word

from the Lord if your husband’s getting

on your nerve

and clarify that she took the pen tag

pet peg and the hammer and she drove it

through his head

we need mothers in Israel who will keep

hammering in prayer hammering and

fasting hammering and saying you’re

getting out of my family you’re getting

out of my home I’m not gonna let drugs

win I’m not gonna let addiction win I’m

not gonna let unforgiveness win I’m not

gonna let hell tear my family all the

pieces through rebellion it’s going over

the wall and I have power and victory in

Jesus name and it wasn’t a mighty man it

was a woman a housewife a woman of God

you have authority women of God to get

ruthless with devils and demons and say

I will have no sympathy on division in

my family and in my home I can throw you

over the wall

what are you saying I’m saying to you

that captivity if your men or women in

captivity you can throw it over the wall

Ephesians four said Jesus led captivity

captive you can take your captivity

captive and you can throw its head over

the wall through Jesus Christ you can

say to addiction today get out I’m

throwing you over the wall you can say

to bitterness and offense and

unforgiveness get out strife contention

in the home get out I’m throwing you

over the wall because this is a place

where problems are solved the problem

solver is here you can you can destroy

the voice of intimidation this morning

you can throw the head of depression

over the wall and you can come up with

joy you can throw the head of fear over

the wall and you can walk and say I will

fear no evil for thou art with me you

can throw the head of discouragement I

know I’m preaching to some people who

need a miracle in their family today

the battering rams of hail can cease one

act of obedience when you say God I’m

coming to that order and I’m throwing it

over the wall get out of my house get

out of my family get out of my city the

battering rams of hail that have been

attacking your family can cease this

morning love can come answers can come

healing can come restoration can come

miracles can come to your house to your

marriage to your family does anybody

you on this Mother’s Day and I believe

that many of you are sensing that spirit

of victory that these wise women that I

preached about today showed us in

Scripture the pattern that God wants to

bless you and bless your house and I

the body of Christ and in every home
