I don't care how long you've been down in the gutter as a man.

How long you've been defeated as a man.

Jesus Christ is standing over you today, saying,

Get up!

Dr. Tony Evans says you've been positioned by God

for a special purpose.

So it's time to take your stand and be the man and father.

God has called you to be.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans.

in Dallas, Texas, and president of the Urban Alternative.

Blessings come from God, but not just from God.

Today, Dr. Evans will touch on the importance of the blessings we pass on,

and what to do if they were never passed on to us.

Let's join him as he begins.

In our passage today, we have a son begging for the blessing of his father.

Esau is begging for a blessing.

But when Esau was asking daddy to bless him,

he wasn't just saying daddy say, I bless you.

No, the blessing was speaking about something else.

It was speaking about the continuity of the covenant.

It is my hope that every head of a household here has a will.
