Kingdom Praise - Week 1

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.

Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

Now enjoy this message and I want to talk about praise We'll

talk about, praise praise has the same issue that we discussed

recently, when we talked about being led by the spirit are

being led by your soul. Okay, so, if you were not part

of that series, what did I call that series adjustment?

It's a must right. It's a must.

If you haven't heard that series, go online.

It was three weeks. It's a must, you must worship

Him in spirit, and in truth, okay?

And the word worship is not singing.

Although worship includes singing, We have this mindset

that when we hear worship, we think of slow songs.

Okay. That's not worship worship by

definition is obeying. What the king says, and that

doesn't have to be with the song, unless he's asking you to

sing a slow one. At that time, then you would be

worshipping him by obeying to sing a slow song, right?

But you're also worshiping him if he tells you to pay for

somebody's meal, That's worship. Its worship when you give

because he says, give right, it's worship when you forgive

that's worship. Okay.

But we've coined this phrase within the church body.

Praise and so it automatically praises the fast stuff, worships

the slow stuff. And that is not the case.

Praise is something we do with our mouths, will see something

that we do and there's other things that we can do in praise

and we'll break all this down. But we know that there are

churches and there are believers.

So, I'm not just saying churches as a whole because there are

just Believers as well. That can be in a Spirit-filled

Spirit Led church, but there are a whole churches that are only

led by their soul. They only make decisions based

upon their five senses they have.

Not renewed their mind and they are so Lush.

Lee, LED they go by how they feel?

There are many When Praise comes on do the same thing.

They praised out of feeling. They're not praising in the

spirit at all. So, just because you're singing

doesn't mean you're in the spirit.

Alright, and we need to examine this a little bit because if

people were engaging God in a Spirit-filled praise that there,

definitely is an environment that will manifest right.

And so with that being said, let's look at a scripture that

lets us know a situation can occur when praise takes place.

Now in Acts 16:25 and acts 16:25 right.

Acts 16:25 Acts 16:25

It says this, but about midnight, but about midnight,

Paul and Silas were praying and singing.

Hymns of what praise to God and the prisoners were listening to

them, okay? Now, as you know, this passage

of scripture that because they did this, not because they were

looking for it. So, how do I know someone's in

Soul? Praise.

They want to sing a way to make an earthquake.

Manifest. Well, Paul and Silas was not

singing for a manifestation of an earthquake.

Nor were they singing to be let out?

Because if they were singing to be let out the minute, their

shackles flipped off and the doors open, they would have ran.

So a lot of people's Praises are to get them out of something,

not that you can't praise to get yourself out.

I'm not saying that I'm just saying in this instance, he the

problem that we have with praise is that praise typically we try

to do it based upon something. We see in the Bible called, we

want it particular results. When Praise is just something we

do period. The results is really irrelevant

although there will be a result. Don't get me wrong, but I'm not

praising him for result. I'm praising him cause he is I

praise him cuz he is. And when I initiate that cuz

again, why would we be late? To a service where you can

praise e. Why would there be a growth?

I mean, we have a growth spurt, every service.

From the start of service to 15 minutes later we have a growth

boom. Miss Supernatural.

I mean, if we could just get that Supernatural growth to

manifest like constantly every 15 minutes.

We would take over the planet right now.

But we get this like boom growth that takes place why?

And it's mainly now some you know you're coming from work if

that's the case I can get that there can be legitimate reasons

but the majority of the reason is is that we don't understand

the power of our praise We don't understand it.

We don't understand what it line locks for us personally and what

it can unlock for someone else in the room.

Because again, Paul and Silas by All rights, are in no position

to praise naturally. They've been beaten and now

they're in jail, right? I mean, this is cried Tom, but

they're not crying. They're just, I just Praise Him.

Anyway, now that's not a fake because I've heard people say,

well, I'm going to praise him anyway.

You're not really praising him because you still thinking about

your problem and crying about it and In the people about it.

So you're saying something about Hallelujah, but you really don't

have a hallelujah. What you have is a complaint.

Because we get around of people that you're around your

complaining. But then he get around certain

people all of a sudden, you got a praise.

Well, as your praise for God, our praise for a person that

showed up so that you can put on to praise to make them.

Think you are praising when the reality is, you ain't praising.

What's that means you are so Lush prazer, you're praising on

how you feel, who's in the room, who you can talk with and

identify with because based upon, you know, what's going on,

all this person knows what I'm going through and they can feel

my pain and they can sympathize with it.

So I'm going to complain and whine about what I'm going

through and how hard it is. But then over here this person

wouldn't All right, that's why I'm going to say, oh, I praise

the Lord. I'm just going to praise him

anyway. Well, you're not crazy.

All right, hallelujah. Amen.

You know, I love to look at people who are on the platform

that Dupre's When they're off. I like the eye balm in any

church. I'm at.

We'll see what this person does when they're off the platform

because of that praising here. But can't praise him here.

Then their fate Fraser's. Cause now they're just

performers, right? Amen.

But you know what? I hear you.

You guys. You're like, yeah, that's right

past her, but you can come into church and praise him and then

on at work, not not do it. All right, so we got to make

sure we're actually there's a reason why we praise.

I mean it's very difficult. I've been in different places

where the minister wants to keep you in a room until the worships

over and I'm like, I want to get out there.

I want to get in the environment.

I Just Want To Praise my king. That means and I'm not saving my

voice. I mean, I'm not holding back.

I mean, I'm praising him. I mean, if we need to dance,

let's dance if we need to run. Let's run if we need to shout.

Let's shout even if I'm preaching.

Right. Cause whatever.

The expression. And I and then I can walk in a

layer of submission. Meaning, if Pastor Mark said

everybody raise your hands. Well, I guess a promise in your

path running, reason my hands man.

Okay, I got a got this service, I'm going.

I mean, even if I'm thinking on the service, how even try to

cause I'm like, did you hear what the guy said something

could happen just in the simple gesture of holy hands.

Lifted High. and if we're too stubborn to, Amen, there should

be. One hundred percent

participation when it comes to singing.

The good news is the Bible already allowed for your voice.

He said, Make a Joyful Noise. He didn't say have to be in

tune. He didn't say it.

Had to be good. He just said I ought to be

joyful which means you ought to be excited that you can open

your mouth. And praise God.

He didn't say it had to sound good.

Amen. So that's not an excuse Pastor.

If you could hurt if you only heard me, you wouldn't want me

to say anything. Well, the Lord makes it that way

he wants to hear it so I have no Pride.

Don't offend me. I mean, do you think these guys

up here always sound like their own tune No not always and

sometimes they you know unfortunately give themselves

away their life. No, facial expression.

People no, facial treasure. When Pastor Marcus and I were in

the youth ministry together for the Youth band was horrible.

Those guys would give each other way.

I mean, you could read their lips.

You know, you're an idiot. You missed it.

What are you doing? You dork.

Hallelujah. Okay, so, you know what, we did

fix that, we put all the lights on the back and they became a

silhouette, you can't even see their faces.

All right? Let's just get rid of these

guys. We don't, you want to see the

face? I just want to hear the voice,

the music, please. I don't need to see their facial

expressions. Hallelujah, are you hear me?

But it was about midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and

singing praises to who, to God. So, let's look at a few

scriptures. Again, we're going to do this

for three weeks, so I don't have to go dive too deep tonight.

I do want to kind of lay a foundation because if anything I

want to loosen your mouth, if anything, I just want to get

your mouth loose because I can't get your mouth loose to release

what the spirit of God wants to do through you, then Sunday will

be different. Sunday itself will be different.

Praise is not the answer of everything but praises and

outflow that, you know, you have the answer for everything.

Even when you're in the middle of the worst thing.

Amen. Hallelujah.

All right. So Psalms 34 1, amen.

Psalms 34, 1, this is going to be a participation sermon.

All right. All right, we're going to

participate. He said, I Will Bless The Lord

At what kind of times. How many times sometimes?

Maybe Tom's a few times only on Easter and Christmas time.

Only when I win the lotto and everything's going good, when

all my bills are paid and I'm healthy.

So that tells us situations don't dictate praise.

Praise is not dictated by a situation.

So, your praise should not change.

You shouldn't praise him more when troubles around.

Some people go crazy. Praise when there's trouble.

And then they forget him during a good time.

And in trouble shows up and they go praising again.

So then they get them in a cycle.

I praise him when I'm in trouble and he always gets me out.

Well, he'll deliver you out all your trouble.

No problem, but he wants you to praise him even in the good

promise, you go, quiet and the good.

And you open the door for trouble.

I Will Bless The Lord At what all times his.

What Praise shall what's that? Next word, continually beware in

my mouth? Continually.

Now, how do we know whether we have a continual praise?

It's going to be predicated on, do you have a continual diet of

the word because if you're not continually eating the word of

God? And what I mean by that is

reading it, keeping it in front of you.

It's not going to come out of you.

What will come out of you? What you meditate on.

So if you're meditating on your problem, meditating on your

circumstance, made it taking on perceive trouble, that's worried

or whatever the case you're going to speak.

That, that of a that will continually.

Have you been around people that said, that's they continually

talk about the sickness. They continually talk about, the

problem, the relationship, the the you know, the crisis, you

know, they continue to talk about how their victim they

continually talked about, how this situation is this way,

because of this. But if they had the word in them

then they what would come out would be different.

We're not denying wearing something.

We're just praise any because he's worthy to be praised

period. So when something happens man in

talking about doing this recently, I've been really doing

this recently because I've had this like tangible knowledge of

the grace of God that I have to have active in my life right now

based upon the new season we're in.

And it's a different season. I mean, it's an obviously

different season. It's like boom, boom, boom.

I mean, I got things coming out of hundred miles a minute from

all directions and everything that I got my hand to internally

and externally and then other issues that just want to

manifest. And when it does man I found

myself laughing. I mean forced laughter you

understand? It's not like it's there.

I have to life. Well haha, praise the Lord.

You know that shit. Hallelujah.

And you just get it out because at the end of the day, I'm not

going to say, Oh Me, Oh My, what am I gonna do?

I'm not gonna go blame somebody. Well, if you did dump this, Now

let's just pray Z right at this point because I got an intake, I

got n. When I find that it's difficult

to want to say it, my first response is man.

You better go get in the word bro.

None of you have so much word in you that you don't need the word

daily. Because the flesh has a capacity

to press the word out of you. Your spirit and flesh battle

what daily. So too many of you are living on

a past. Praise Because you have a past

knowledge because you hadn't even been in the word for so

long. It's that when you came to

service and you're not actually in the word, when you're in

service, you're not actually in the world.

When you're in service, you are receiving by the spirit, a word

that now he holds you responsible to make it your own

You're not changed what called I'm preaching to you your change

when you make it your own and it becomes your personal revelation

and then you act on it. So again when you here today you

can walk out. But you won't be changed unless

you practice it because it's real to you.

And you're like this is how it has to be with me from now on.

And the only reason I'm like this it because I give myself to

it constantly at great effort, To be able to maintain a praise

in my mouth. Because it's easy for something

else to come out. If the Bible tells me, it should

be continually. So if it's going to be

continually, That I have to continually be putting something

in me, so it can come out. Cold.

You see me the other day when I beat that.

You okay. You know, when you first weighed

I wasn't sure if you knew it was me.

So I'm like, did I just scare him with the dogs?

I'm not sure. Okay, great.

I Will Bless The Lord At what his praise shall be.

We're in my mouth. Psalms 101, verse 1, Psalms 101

Psalms 101:1 Psalms 101:1

verse 1. All right, we're just trying to

loosen your mouth up, amen. Says praise the Lord.

I will give thanks to the Lord with all my in the company.

Of the upright and in which tells me personal praise isn't

enough. So we have a continual praise

that we should have and circumstances and situations do

not dictate Our Praise. Then we should have a praise

when we are in the company of the upright.

Do I have some up right in here. Do I have an assembly in here?

Which then tells me when we begin to praise him, you should

praise him. You shouldn't be like this.

Yes, it gets home. It's kind of awkward, isn't it?

Yes like say something please. That's what the Lord saying.

Say something please. Don't you know, I die for you.

I was stripped naked for you. I was being so bad, it could

tell you and you don't sit here and not say nothing.

I'm glad when checking my emails and my Twitter feeds and my

Instagram and my tick-tock. Just say hallelujah.

Yeah. See all we gotta do is open our

mouth so we are to give praise in the assembly.

There should never be a day that Pastor Mark have to come up with

ain't gonna be like, I mean, there's probably in a couple of

times and I've been struck him. I said, listen, if they don't

want to sing, you just tell me to come up, will shut it down.

Because I refuse to beg somebody to worship the king of glory.

I made if we don't have a praise then you know what, we'll just

go on to the preacher because the you need some word in you

that you ain't got something in your mouth.

And here's the problem though, a lot of people like all I needs

the word. No, you need a praise.

You don't need, just a couple. If you actually have the word,

you'd be praising. You would be doing a legitimate

praise because when you a get revelation of the word and all

that, the word says about us and about what God's plan for man is

you can't help. But go my God, he is so awesome.

I worship. I honor you God.

You're worthy. Oh my gosh.

You're worthy. You can't help but say it.

And you don't care who's around. And you're not intimidating.

Listen we keep it cranked up enough anyway that we can't

really hear you. So you're going to be all right?

you know, I've had people, that's too loud, that's why they

have little Earplugs, right. Because again when you get it

really too low people are unfortunately intimidated but

now if you know that it doesn't matter, that's not the point.

Some of the greatest voice I've ever heard in my life.

Greatest voice I've ever heard my life is in boot camp.

Man, if you've never heard boot camp, singing, oh my gosh.

When those guys get in decadence and it ain't even spiritual, but

there's something about unity in their praise.

My gosh, man, it'll do something.

And it makes me think of when David or not David, but when

they told, it might have been David somebody to help me.

I got it study, it's just coming up.

I don't remember which one memories had put appraisers in

front. Was it David?

David said, he told they put it Prater and they sang a song, I

get it, but I guarantee it being more Cadence.

And so there cuz it was like they singing the same thing,

they were probably won't probably was saying it in the

rest of them were repeating afterward and they say it again

and they'd hit it again. They may say one part and they

would say some other part You know, the part when I was in the

Army as a break it on down now and then we would go, you know,

one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.

I'm it's a genuine that's verbier, T is amazing?

It's not even spiritual. So can you imagine when the

unity of the company of the upright comes together and

begins to sing Faith filled words, that activate your spirit

man. And you, you, you, you lift your

voice in one Accord. Music is can become irrelevant.

We need it because the Bible is all about having a harp and all

that, you know these denominations.

Like we don't play music that stupidity stupidity gone to

seed. Okay, God made instruments.

All right, at the end of the day and so, you know, we can play

them, we can we can Rejoice. I mean, you can actually buy the

spirit through the instruments, get an anointing to show up and

nobody's even talking. We'll talk about that.

The the prophets like bring me a Minstrel and the minstrel was

not singing a song he would just play in and it calls the

anointing to increase so he could get a word from God.

But again, if you're coming 15 minutes too late and you're

like, I want a word from Guys, like I had it in the first five

minutes but you weren't here during the music.

Because who are we to tell God, how we get our word or when we

get it now you may need a word nonetheless.

But that word may come in the first five minutes.

It could come on. The first note, they could hit

it and it just seemed like the anointing hits that note.

We just need to stay there. Pastor Hagan wrote a book called

The untapped power of praise. and it is untapped It is

untapped because true Spirit prays.

Those people are so full of joy. Those people are so full of

excitement. They are undaunted by

circumstances and situations. It is difficult to ever see,

worry manifest in their lives. You know, fear manifest, I mean,

it's like it's like I'm not saying it's not plausible, it's

just few and far between anybody ever heard me cuss before.

I'm not going to Christopher. I mean, if I still had a cuss

word right now, you'd be like shot because you never heard

that word with my voice. So what I'm saying is I'm

proficient at not doing it. So you can have a Praise by the

spirit. So proficient that you talk in

fear, are you talking worry? Are you talking doubt?

Are you complaining about something?

We'd be a shock to hear that come out of you.

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.

I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart in.

The company of the upright in the assembly.

Can I just be honest with you? Thank you.

Our first song on Sunday is a filler.

The opener, we call an opener. You don't know that because they

don't see it. The very first song We Do.

For us, it's called an opener. You know why we call an opener

because we're waiting on the people.

Now that doesn't mean we can't take the opener somewhere.

Should the spirit of God get in it because I'm not stuck to a

formative period. I don't have to come up.

Doing that house of it. I do not have to come up.

Take offering at that moment. If there was a serious move.

And everyone was literally engaged in.

That praise. We would go.

But the reality is We're not. We're not.

Will engage in that relationship outside there.

In the foyer will hang out. Talk, we'll finish our latte

because if you drinking black coffee, you'd be in here.

You know, I'm kidding. I mean no.

But anyway, Now get is there. Anything wrong with that?

No, it's about the heart. At the end of the day I don't

want to be caught out there when The band starts, when when the

opportunity for me to get into the company of the upright and

in the assembly, and we do this thing corporately, because

there's one thing about my individual praise, there's a

whole other thing when I get around a whole lot of other

people praising. Now, again, I'm not looking for

an earthquake. But something's reverberating

when face there in our praise. Something's happening.

All right. Isaiah 12:5.

Isaiah 12:5

Isaiah 12:5 says this. It says praise the Lord in song.

Isaiah 12:5

For he has done excellent things.

Has he done some excellent things?

He said, let this be known where Throughout the Earth.

So the Psalms 34 told us that on an individual level, his praise

should be continually in our mouths continually.

Then he tells us in Psalm 111 that that praise should manifest

in the company of the upright, which is not just in church, it

could be around other believers. I mean, you should, when you get

around other believers anywhere, praise should be able to get

begin to manifest. Should be a byproduct of the

fact that you're in the company of the upright.

But then in the assembly, when we come together in the local

body church, we should be praising him.

It should be out of our mouths, we should be doing it.

Then he tells us here, when we sing these songs of praise, the

whole earth should figure it out.

So it's not limited to our personal life.

It's not limited to our church, life.

It should be even be exhibited out in the world where they see

us praising bad news. Shows up at work and you say hi.

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, praise the

Lord. What did he praise?

The Lord. Did you hear they're laying half

of us all? Praise God.

My God. My sustainer anyway.

You understand this them bother me one bit and if we are laying

off, half is probably y'all not me anyway.

So you want me to pray for you? But if I'm gone, that means

God's already. Got another plus Ami for me

somewhere else, and they'll just blown away that you're not

wringing your hands. We're in a recession.

Inflation is at all-time high. Well, praise the Lord.

Aren't you worried? How You Gonna feed your kids?

How You Gonna, man? I just, I just praise God.

I praise him when Neo gas prices were lower and you know, seemed

like everybody economically. We're doing good.

And it doesn't matter what's going on in the economy of the

world, I just praise him anyway because I praise him.

Circumstance does not dictate my praise.

It doesn't increase. It doesn't lower.

It, I'm constant. I praise thee.

I Just Praise Him and the world should hear our praise.

Our were the world should hear our praise.

That's why you learn in certain songs and then seeing them at

work. Probably, do you good?

I used to take secular songs internal, I mean, because the

world Listen to secular songs. You know, I couldn't always pick

the radio station when I worked secularly or outside the church.

So I would just make stuff up sometimes just for fun, right?

I mean it wasn't like, making them pull their hair out, but at

the end of the day, you know, I could find a praise anywhere.

Then at some time, I had just fought their songs.

You know, I'm set up. What a lie.

I can't even believe. Saying that he don't care about

her John. You remember when we were at

Hilti? So this is this a long time ago,

but the guys listen to country music.

Sometimes probably most of the time, right?

And there was a song. Here's a quarter call someone

who care, right? Remember that.

And I was working the carousel. So it's like this thing that has

all these little bitty parts that bring them to you and you

bag, you know, the parts for each distribution center and

then you go to the next one. So I'm kind of stationary as

everybody else is flying by with their things.

And I'm like, seriously, you know, they were like hit the

brakes. And I, what I said Scott, I

don't care. He's saying here's a quarter.

Call someone who cares. Pay phones are 35 Cent now.

Then there was another about a Walmart, right?

They like they tore down the parking lot B of Walmart.

I'm like, they don't make Walmart's anymore of their Super

Walmart's, so then I would sing it and say, super Walmart real

fast, just Egged on, right? These are the guys John can tell

you. You know, one came up to me and

say, man, I'm going to take you to a strip club before you

leave. I'm going to take you to a strip

club. I said Son, it will never

happen. Let me tell you what happened

first. I'll get you'll get born again.

And the last night I was there, they got born again.

I never want you to strip club. Just want to do that.

Just blame her, it never happened.

But today's Minister would go to the strip club to be relevant

with that person in hopes that they can lead them to Christ.

A lot of today's ministers because they're definitely

taking them to the bars. The definitely doing that.

I'm not of this world. I said I'm not of this world.

Hallelujah I got a power me that breaks all that stuff.

It allows me to Pray Z right I'm go and I'll tell him I say

seriously you're going to a strip bar, how stupid?

So Duncan that beat? I mean I look at somebody and he

can't do nothing. I said I got a wife Rose better

than silver and gold Anytime all the time and I just walk off.

Amen, to have a wife is a good thing, right?

Better than silver and gold, right?

Amen is more than look. It is touch will stop there.

Stay with me. Go over to Psalm.

Isaiah 12 verse 5, Isaiah 12 verse 5, Amen.

Isaiah 12:5 Isaiah 12:5

I mean it's sad that people don't have a vibrant marriage.

Amen. You should have a vibrant

marriage and some of the things that me and my wife here about

how long has been the husbands of I've been together.

It's like bro. That's crazy bill.

That's just crazy bill. You don't know who you are.

That's another subject. All right, say of 12 I praise

the Lord. In song for he has done

excellent things. Let this be known throughout

what the Earth. There's not a place that you

shouldn't praise him. You can praise him anywhere.

Amen. You can say praise the Lord.

When you get in your Starbucks. It's coffee.

You can say praise the Lord. When you're checking out at

Publix you can say praise the Lord anywhere.

But that's what I love about. Pastor Jay, he literally says

that. Well, praise the Lord.

I mean, if you've been around him any he'll say well praise

the lord. Well, praise the Lord will

praise the Lord, will praise the Lord?

Amen. Well, praise the Lord.

Come on, let's say it together. It's not that hard, is it?

Amen, you're at the gym, you do a personal best, you want to get

up and go? Praise the Lord.

Maybe like what happened man, God has made me strong.

Whoo, I am strong today. I think there might be an

annoying little bit of Samson happening right now, because

last week, that didn't happen, I know there's some natural, but

it could be pretty spiritual. Maybe you want me to touch you,

maybe you could do it too. Amen.

Psalms 104. Psalms 104 verses 33 to 35.

Psalms 104:33–35

Look at this. And said, I will sing to the

Lord as long as I live. Oh, man.

I will sing praise to my God while I have my being let my

meditation be pleasing to him. As for me, I shall be glad in

the Lord. Let the Sinners be consumed from

the earth and let the wicked be no more bless the Lord O My

Soul. Praise the Lord. so, as long as

I live, I'm supposed to sing Now I'm going to be honest with you,

it's difficult for me to sing with some things, and we'll talk

more about this in the weeks to come because as you grow in

Revelation knowledge of the word there should be some praise

songs out there. You can't sing because they are

not in line with your belief. Because you know what, there is

a praise. I had at one point based upon

what I knew. Right.

So based upon where I was at, Paul says, I forget what lies

behind I press on, right? He says we are to live to where

we have attained to so I don't go I don't listen to praise.

That's only about getting born again because I'm born again.

Feel of the Holy Ghost, I have authority as a Believer.

I know some truths, so I don't sing praises that.

Say the lord giveth and the lord taketh away.

Although that is a scripture The context of that particular song

is placing that gods in control, and there's nothing you can do

about it because if God wants to take away your blessing to, he

can do that. Now, there was a time I believed

that way, but now I know the Devil comes to steal kill and

destroy and I actually have authority over him.

Because we're job said the Lord gives and the Lord takes away

was a lie. It was truth that job said it

but it was a lie that God did it.

Because Satan took it away. The Lord says, have you

considered my servant job? And then he said he's in your

power that's the Dominion you got from Adam.

So now you're operating in that Dominion.

So if it had been accurately it says the Lord gives the devil

takes away. Now that I could see the Lord

gives the devil takes away, but I have authority over the devil

and he's under my feet under my feet and I jump to that song.

Are you hearing what I'm saying? So when we actually have done

that song, I don't sing that we changed the words because we're

going to sing to the revelation. We have of who we are in Christ.

This is why I don't listen to Christian radio.

I don't listen to Christian radio because there's too much

doubt and unbelief in the lyrics.

So I can't hook up. I can't hook up.

Now at the end of the day, if I was working outside the church,

right? And I wanted an alternative for

who was in the house, then I could put on a Christian station

that maybe is not doctrinally, correct, but it's definitely

more positive than music than me.

Going to the oldies or two, you know, you know, 70s rock.

Or whatever, you know you want to listen to in that case, They

Don't Know Jack. So any exposure is good

exposure. Don't get me wrong, but that

doesn't mean internally. I'm singing the song the way

they would. I would change it as I did my

own saying or I would be singing a different song while it's on.

Are you hearing me? I do a lot of individual singing

on my own anyway, okay. Cause I'm not here to dissect

all that. I don't want to, you know,

Crusher, golden calf tonight. All right.

I'm just saying you've got to be able to release the things, you

know, in your praise. Because what everyone singing is

not what you know. At the end of the day.

Now, if you sing something, you don't see it different.

It's fine sink. It until something goes off in

your life. Hmm.

I was talking to a pastor day about a particular subject.

I won't say what call me from Ohio.

Because I communicated to this individual concerning the death

gospel, what I've called, the death gospel that you're just

asking people where they going to go when they die.

Right, because it's only about what good news.

Do you have when you die? And that Christ didn't come so

that we can know where we're going to go when we die Christ

came, so that heaven could come to us now and we could operate

in it today as a Son of God, a child of God.

And when I told them that at Tulsa, we flipped them on end

and they're like, man, I you're right well, I'm not right, the

Bible's right? And sometimes we have to rethink

some of the things we are saying, then he got over into

another subject and I haven't even priests yet.

Because jeez. Is something else.

Is something else but I'm like, you're right.

You're right. Which means now anytime he ever

hears a phrase. He'll never be at a hook up with

it again. Because they're real, he's

realized. That's wrong.

Yep. And 90.

Nine percent of all believers, say it.

Hallelujah. Amen.

Hallelujah. 99% of all believers.

Say it. And it's wrong.

I'm prove it, but it would take me a 12-week series.

And most wouldn't make it through the first two because

they love their tradition more. But it's coming.

It's coming. I've been begging you for six

months already and don't even know it.

Hallelujah will praise him. Just say, praise the Lord,

praise the Lord. Amen, don't come near before.

I haven't asked and try to get inside track, I'm not going to

talk to you about it. I'll say, get thee behind me,

Satan for you. Set your interest on your own

and not on the will of God for the release date.

Are you hearing me? So, he says, I will sing to the

Lord. As long as I live, I'll sing

praise to my God while I am now, notice that verse, 35, let

Sinners be consumed from the earth and let the wicked be no

more. Right, which think brings us to

Psalms 115, which is really interesting.

So I'm wondering 15 verse 17 and 18 because you know here we're

praising God, but we're saying the wicked and the center needs

to get out. Why is that look the dead?

Do not praise the Lord. The Dead.

Do not praise the Lord. So are you professing?

You're dead. When the words are on the screen

while the band plays are you professing?

I'm a dead person because I don't praise

The dead do not, praise the Lord nor do any who go down into

silence. But as for us, come on, is that

you. But as for us we will bless the

Lord from this time forth and forever.

What praise praise. The Lord I'm not going to be

counted with the dead. I said, I'm not going to be

counted with the dead. I'm not going to be counted with

the dead. Now, the word praise in some of

these, Psalms not all of them, but in some of these Psalms,

when you look them up in the original Hebrew, a couple of

words are associated with this word, praise.

And this will help you identify when David said, I'll be even

more undignified than this. There's a few times this word

Praises translated, as Going mad.

Going mad, insane. I mean, it's like you are so

after a praise that you look crazy.

God been around people. They like somebody's out there

like just crazy over there and they're like, what?

No world. Well, they very well could be

scriptural right now. Now, I understand some people

can do it for attention. I understand that and ultimately

God's going to figure that out at the end.

But we'll figure it out too because when a person is in a

real, I'm going after God, praise and I don't give a rip

who's looking at me and have my junk.

If I'm just, like, dancing around and sweating all over the

place and twirl in, and I'm just going after What all my might

with everything that I have, I've just moved into a place

that I look insane, but I am going to praise him.

Well, you know what? Then he annoy me can Usher in on

that deal and a lot of stuff can take place.

But I mean, I'm not going to shut down.

Somebody's Crazy. Praise now if I send some my

spirit that they're being crazy like just crazy and like dancing

around, you know, so everybody can see them, you know, they're

coming up the Al's, you know, I'll be like uh, sure go ahead

and just Help them out, because this is not a dance studio.

This is not your choreograph moment, right?

Because you're bringing the glory to you now.

Come on. Are you hearing me?

Because I mean if we gonna start dancing up, the I'll most likely

more. People are dancing up the

aisles. But I've had people get on here

because you've seen them, they get dancing here, they get up in

the corner right? Because they're you know, some

like please get out of my way because it's fixing to get crazy

right now you know, because I just need to I just man, I love

God. Cause you know, praise is not

just singing. There's some holy hands, lifted

High, there's some dancing, there's some shouting and

there's moments that take place in, here's the thing.

If you do the same thing every time I might question whether

it's the spirit Because God's too creative.

He did make one style of Praise but if there is this difference

in your praise, that's all biblical.

Well, do you know what? You're probably being led by the

spirit on how you are to demonstrate that.

But if your praise, is this, praise God, from whom all

blessings flow. Praise him.

I'm seeing you Jersey, and that's how you do it all the

time. I'm questioning that If you

don't have a revelation of what Jesus has done for your life,

and we're going to talk about why we praise next week because

there's plenty of evidence because this has occurred, I'm

praising because of what this, what happened here, I'm praising

and again, it's not about your situation.

It's about his response in situations.

Are you hearing me? So the dead do not, praise the

Lord, nor do any who go down into silence before us.

We will bless the Lord from Tom this time forth and forever.

Praise the Lord Isaiah 38:18, Isaiah 3018 for.

Isaiah 38:18

She'll cannot thank you. Death cannot praise you.

Those who go down to the pit. Cannot hope for your

faithfulness. so again a person who will not open their voice

and praise is identifying themselves as a dead person.

It would be easier for me to conclude you're dead, then you

are alive unto Christ first. Now then except Pastor I am.

Well, then if you are alive to God, start opening your mouth.

Because the Bible says that we should praise him.

So again I don't praise him if I feel like it because praise is

not a feeling. Well, I feel like praising him

day, I don't feel like I'ma Praise Him.

Anyway. Right right?

This isn't about well we got moves on me to praise him.

I'll praise him. The minute you got born again,

he moved on you. And there ain't no other move.

He has to do for the view of said, to Jesus Christ.

Your lord, there's been a move. Now, you move and just act and

begin to respond. Just begin to do it by faith

even when you don't feel like it.

And you don't want to sing, go ahead and do it anyway, but do

it in Faith. Lord, I'm gonna praise this

though everything emotionally about me.

Right now. The situations are like crazy,

but I am going to praise you by faith and I'm gonna sing this

song If be completely connected to it.

I Got a lift, my voice with a voice of Triumph, I'm gonna sing

this song out with everybody else and no one around me will

know what I'm going through. Even though you know what I'm

going through and it ain't about what I'm going through because

you're just worthy period. So who am I gonna hold you

hostage with my mouth? And I praise you.

Because I'm not a bit dead person.

So by faith, I praise. By faith and there have been

many meetings. I've been in that.

Didn't want to say nothing. Doesn't matter what I want to

do. What he asked me to do.

Praise the lord. Well then I'm going to praise

him. I'm gonna praise Him.

Amen. Hallelujah, come on say,

hallelujah! Amen, let's activate the mouth.

Isaiah 43, 21. Look What the Lord says.

Just in case, you're wondering the people whom I formed for

myself okay, the people whom I formed for myself will, will

will will will will, will, will, will, will will, will will Will

will, will will, will will declare my praise.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Glory to God, glory to God, Glory, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

This might be a good opportunity for you to act on the word right

now. Are you dead?

Are you alive? Have you been for this is a

proper response. Hallelujah.

Glory to your name, glory to your name, glory to your name,

glory to your name, glory to your name.

Glory to your name, glory to your name.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

Jesus, Glory Glory. Glory Glory.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hey Glory.

Glory Glory? Glory, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Be seated.

Be seated. Now, listen.

Just so you know. So you'll feel really okay if

that makes you uncomfortable. Okay.

There was a town called Ephesus. That was really ticked off at a

apostle named Paul who came in and started preaching Christ and

him crucified. He was the only God and so the

town started burning their Idols to Diana.

And the blacksmith's that were making all the idols and that

was their company was. So upset called in all the

business guys and said, if we don't do something about these

guys that are turning our world upside down, we're going to lose

our business because everybody is abandoning our craft, and

they're going after this guy, Jesus.

So they call a meeting on unlawful assembly, and they

bring them into the place where I mean packed the place out, and

when they come Paul wants to address them, they get so crazy

and their prayer, praise for a false god that the Bible says in

Acts that they cried out, great is the Goddess.

Diana are Artemis art of whatever that a word with

whatever her name was, but Diana for two solid hours.

Did not relent. They shouted for two hours for a

fake God. Many churches are formulas, that

they're worships only 20 minutes because we got to get to

announcements. We got to get to our giving.

And then we got to do our 30-minute message, and then tell

everybody how awesome they are and send them out.

Yep. The world worships.

It's Idol called football for 3 hours and they praised They

shout for their team in their loss.

And will curse the other God. That's the other team.

What we just did should not be uncommon in this house.

Should not be uncommon. In fact, it should become so

common that even when I'm preaching and all of a sudden

some praise the Lord. People connecting with the word

that it could break out to where we just have to take a praise

break because it's about him. Anyway.

Right now we're not doing a praise break to disrupt the

anointing or to stop something. We're flowing with the spirit.

So Isaiah 43, 21 tells us exactly what the people whom God

has formed, are they are to do, it doesn't say when they feel

like it, let's read it again. The people whom I formed for

myself when they feel like it When they're living a good life,

only when they're in trouble. When they're about to die.

No, we just we just we will declare the praise.

We will declare his praise. Amen.

This word praise literally means a shining through one's actions

and words so we're not just praising with our words.

We will praise him with our actions.

Our lifestyle will signify his praise.

The last scripture I have tonight is Psalms 156.

We're just again loosening our mouths, right?

We're going to loosen our mouths.

So Sunday should be different Sunday at 10:30.

Should look different in the sanctuary.

Because at least everyone here should be in the foyer unless

you're working a parking lot. I understand that our you're

working as a greeter, you have assignments.

I understand that. But other than that, you should

actually be early in here. Anticipating the ability to

praise with the assembly because something can break through, in

fact, I know. Because the Lord told me, he

says, because they're doing this praise now, I'm working, certain

things out for some of them right now.

And they re encounter that situation, it would be totally

different. And they'll know it's simply

because they praise me now. That isn't every time it happens

because again, praise is. Regardless of situation, praise

can bring a breakthrough, praise can cause a problem to change,

but that's not why we praise because if you start trying to

use your praise as a formula Then you're not Spirit prazer.

You're a soulish Brazier and you've lost the anointing in

your mouth. Are you hearing me?

So just so you understand, the praise is not limited to

believers. Let everything that has.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Even the unrighteous will praise him.

And many do it even here. Come on, you know?

You give something to someone there like praise the Lord and

they're not even believers. Well, God bless you, they're not

even believers. Then, I can believers.

I thought about this again. Every time I go back to Tulsa, I

think of this one story, it Bears repeating for those who've

heard it for those who haven't first time.

So, I was a student at Rhema and I was in my vehicle.

It was just me for whatever reason.

Maybe, Marcy, I already dropped the kids or maybe she didn't go

that day, cause the kids were sick.

That's probably what it was. So, I was in the vehicle, all by

myself and I was going to turn left.

Okay, to go out on to Kenosha or 71st.

Were you with me though? No, no.

You were not with me. No.

You were not with me in this one.

You remember my story? So praise the Lord, you're good.

All right. Okay.

Hmm, maybe she's right. Anyway, I definitely was in the

vehicle because I was driving. I cannot confirm or deny whether

Pastor Marcy was there or not, but I do know that whether Marsh

was there or not the Lord knows and she's usually right?

So we'll go with our story. I look to the right I look to

the left, I look back to the right because again, I have to

cross traffic right to get over and get in the Lantern and left

that. You know, this way.

This way, looked again a look one more this way because it's

crazy traffic. And I went out when I did this,

I don't know where the guy came from, but he was like right

there. I made it out, but buddy, he was

not happy right in that intersection right there.

Leaving Raymond here, the red light.

He did a u-turn in a truck. He flipped that thing around and

he got right on my rear end and he was your number one and my

rearview mirror. You tell me how is number one.

He didn't use his finger, but I was number one for quite some

time. Right.

And so he was telling us number one for a little while.

Yeah. Any hot.

He's just like kind of just mad, you know.

It's like this is like road rage.

So I was like, you know, I felt bad honestly so I pulled into

what was a convenience store and it made its called just another

hole or something. I don't know whether it's tattoo

place or whatever it is. But I turned into it park my

vehicle. I Got out, they pulled in to

pull beside me. I got out walked around, he had

his window down his truck, and he leaned back because he

thought he's knew I was coming through the window.

Right, we're fixing to throw down because I came leading with

my hand. I did, I came around.

I was like, hey man, I am so sorry.

That I did that. Honestly, I didn't see you and

he's like Listening to me now, right?

He eases up you know because it got the side of the truck, he's

ready to do one of these like, you know, he's ready to come

through the window with his fists, right?

He's like and he's like and I'm just like, man, I'm so sorry.

Honestly, I didn't see. I look both ways, man.

You just came up so fast. Please forgive me for pulling

out in front of you. He was like, Okay, bad.

You know. Well, God bless you.

God bless me. He was just a minute ago.

Tell me I was number one. And now, God is going to bless

me those every breath. Praise the Lord.

Every breath. I said, every breath.

I mean, there are things breathing besides humans and

there was a time on the planet that they talked and it wasn't a

foreign concept. Everything that has breath.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

So, praise is not limited to God's children, but God's

children were made. Not made to only praise.

That is false teaching. We were made to praise.

No, you were made to have dominion, and you'll praise as a

result of your purpose. Because we're not going to go to

heaven and sing all day long. He has beings that do that.

You're not going to be part of the ones that fly around the

throne and sing. Holy!

Holy Holy you're not getting into that choir.

Okay? You're not getting into that

choir. That's not going to be your

choir assignment. Oh, I'm going to be with those,

you know, flying things that are saying.

Holy holy. Holy, I'm gonna get in there.

They'll never gonna give you a tryout.

You're the wrong creature for that.

You have a totally different assignment and we're not going

to sit around at the throne in little gowns with Harps.

Singing for eternity. That is not happening.

That is not going to happen. That's false teaching.

But we will praise him forever. I said we will praise him

forever. So again if praising him down

here is a challenge. We at like the minute we let go

of our skin suit. It's not going to be a problem.

I mean you're going to have to learn some things.

God's training us. Now we've already entered

eternal life, we just haven't left the Earth but Eternal

life's in us the third person of the godhead is in us we are

doing Throne Room activity. Now we are creating things in

both Realms when we open our mouth in Praise, thank you so
