The 1,2,3's and A,B,C's / / Bishop Tim Beard

Go to Psalms.

Music, pastor Davis.

We can preach our hearts out and we can scream and yell all day long, but until people get the one, two, threes and ABCs of God, we miss it, because every now and then we got to go all the way back and realize how good God's been to us.

Music.

So go to Psalms.

Music.

We run over it, we scream about it, music.

But I believe that this one scripture is the ABCs of one, two, threes Music, what we need to listen, let's go.

Psalms 150 and six, 150 and six Music.

Get your word Music.

I applaud everybody that's getting your master's degrees and I applaud you.

They're getting your doctorate and I applaud you that you get your bachelor's and associates and you get your higher education.

I applaud you.

That's wonderful, that's great Music.

But sometimes that gets in our way.

Music, I really hear what God want us to know.

Music, and I believe sometimes, amen, we get a little too smart for ourselves.

Music Because we try to figure out everything.

Music, but do you all remember when your parents told you to do something?

Music.

And if you turn around and say why Music?

Just do it.

Because I say, do it Music.

I know we don't live in that generation.

Now, music, because we got a bunch of whys Music and I understand that.

But every now and then we need to just do what God say do Without a why Music.

Let's go to Psalms, music 156 Music Let Everything that have breath.

Music Praise the Lord.

Praise she, the Lord.

I want you to read that with me.

Let's read again Music Let everything that have breath Praise the Lord.

Praise she, the Lord.

Music Let everything that have breath.

Praise the Lord.

Praise she, the Lord.

You may have your seats in the presence of the Lord.

I won't be before you long.

Ikum.

I Would say here Now, be back Now.

Now, then you understand why were we created, what was the purpose of man?

Because I feel like the enemy has given us all the reasons why we were created.

He's given us other options.

We've been going through the creation series and if you haven't seen those, go back and watch.

They're not over.

But we got down to the creation of man.

We was created in his image, in the image of God.

We were created.

Somewhere down the line, the enemy have came in and gave us an alter ego image that we are patterned our lives after and we're missing the mark on the simplicity of what we supposed to be doing.

Now we're doing this, we're doing that.

What I love about one of the things I love about God he gives us a wheel of free spirit that we can be who we wanna be.

But how many know even in that we supposed to still give all praise to God?

Be a doctor, but all your knowledge that you have it come from God.

Come, y'all ain't saying nothing, it comes from God.

Be a lawyer, you're smart, you can debate, but everything you have come from God.

But the problem is that the credit is not given to who credit is due.

Even the movies.

When you read or you see a movie, at the end they give credit to every actor that was in it.

Cameraman, movie people.

You got a whole line of credits.

They're giving honor to them.

They're giving them credit for being a part of it.

But who baptized believers?

Who do we give credit to For all the good things that God has done for us?

I'm gonna stop.

I ain't gonna get excited, I'm gonna calm down.

I'm talking about the one, two, three's in ABC's of gospel.

The problem is we get too smart or our parents say you get too big for your britches.

Then you say I did it, I did it, I finished cool, I got my degree, I got my house, I got my job, I got, I got.

And you're giving credit to yourself.

That means you're praising you.

Am I right?

Cause when you give credit to something, you praise it.

Praise is go to, am I right?

But the Bible teaches us that all praise is go to God.

Am I right?

All good and perfect gift come from above.

That's scripture, am I right?

And we tell him thank you?

So that means we went through the creation of every living breathing thing and we go to man Everything.

Give God glory, but man, that was created after his own image, don't you know?

We supposed to be the number one breathers to give God praise.

Amen, amen, amen.

And it went in the world and now it's crepping the church.

Well, we just gonna be quiet and listen to a good praise team and we gonna listen to a good sermon and we going home and the whole church is quiet.

And all the time we move, all the time we do anything, is when we come in and sit down and when we get up and go out, he said enter into his gates.

Well, thanksgiving that means you ought to be bringing something when you enter in the gate, what are you bringing in?

Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving, thankful for what?

Thank you for air, thank you for breathing.

Thankful for a cup, thank you for a?

Two praise, thank you.

You are thankful.

So you enter in with thanksgiving and then you go into the court with a prayer, when you be thankful unto him and you bless his name.

Why?

Because the Lord is good.

Let everything that have breath praise ye the Lord.

And this is something that we were created to do is bless the Lord, created to praise Him.

We got hands, legs, mouth Everything is used to bless the Lord.

You're breathing and you have a mandate to bless Him.

I don't do all that.

I need for folks to stop using that excuse that you don't do all that.

I heard you at a baseball game.

I heard you at a football game.

I heard you when your team was winning.

I heard you.

Yeah, you got a big mouth outside the church, but how many know the church is the place to have a big mouth?

Because, guess what?

This is the place we give honor and we give praise to our God.

This is the place where we don't be quiet.

He said make a jaw for noise, serve the Lord with gladness, come before His presence.

I don't do that singing stuff.

Y'all saying let the praise seem to me.

I need the church to get back when the whole church song.

I'm from old school where everybody in the church, when a song broke out, you, everybody, got on their feet.

Y'all help me out here.

I need to get back to the one, two, three ABCs of how church supposed to be.

Everybody song.

Somebody said can't, nobody do it.

Everybody get up on their feet and they go with it.

Hand clapping, foot stomping, tamarinds going.

Everybody song.

You in the right note, you in the wrong note, it didn't matter.

We just sung and made a jaw for noise Untill the Lord.

This is what God is calling us.

If we're going to be a strong believing church and a strong believing nation, we got to go back to what we are called to do.

Praise ye the Lord.

Let me say it again If you want to be strong, praise ye the Lord.

If you want to get the devil out your house, praise ye the Lord.

You want to devout your mind, praise ye the Lord.

How many go through your house every now and then and just say, lord, I thank you?

I need to shock your kids.

Every now and then you ought to go screaming how Lord, I just want to thank you.

What in the world going on?

Lord?

I thank you, lord, I thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I'm going to know when you start praising you.

The devil got to run because he don't know what in the world going on now.

Amen.

He said let everything to have breath.

Now we got to pause.

We are breathing.

I think first lady said inhale, exhale.

We are breathing, you are breathing right.

You can suck it in and pour it out.

So the moment I think it was I heard somebody say when we breathe out, we are worshiping God.

To inhale and to exhale, we hollow to God, hallelujah to him.

It goes to him.

To be able to suck in air and push it out of lungs that he created is already a praise to him.

So everything that we do is automatically say I'm giving God praise.

So I just want to pause real quickly and let's go through the ABCs.

Amen, first of all.

A we are breathing.

It's everybody breathing, right, okay, because if you ain't breathing, call 911 or get my oil so we can bring you back right.

So that's the first thing you're breathing.

So B.

We praise God, right.

That means we open up our mouths and we say something.

I need for just a second.

I need you to say something good about God.

Real quick, go go say something good, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Thank you, lord, I give you praise, that's everything.

Young people, open up your mouth.

Everybody, everybody, everybody.

I ain't got everybody yet.

I said everybody.

Look at you.

That side, it means everybody.

Praise you, lord.

So we're breathing, we praise him right, and we believe ABCs, right, we believe.

So.

I believe that when I praise God, whatever my petition is, he's going to see it, he's going to hear it and he's going to answer it, right.

So sometime, I ain't got to go and beg and God, lord, please, lord, please.

I'm breathing, so I bless him and he come and see about me.

I believe that he's going to do it.

I believe that everything that happened, praise the Lord.

And he said praise, ye, the Lord.

So he said praise the Lord.

And I said praise you.

You Look at you and say you, you.

I can't praise him for you, I can only praise him for me.

I'm married, been married for a while, but I can't praise him for my wife.

I can only praise him for me.

Yes, I got children.

They're gone, they're grown, but I can't praise For them.

I could only praise him for me.

I got a grandchild, but guess what?

I can't even praise him for him.

He has to praise him for himself.

I got sisters and brothers.

I would love to praise God for them, and just the Lord.

I'm just blessed he, I'm coming on their behalf and I'm praying, but guess what?

He's waiting on them to praise.

The Bible said every man going to give an account for the deeds done in his own body.

So if you said, lord, I don't do all that, it ain't about you.

It's about what God said we need to be doing.

We was created to praise him.

We was created to throw our hands and worship him.

We was created to believe on him.

Is that right?

I know I need somebody.

That you know in 2024.

You got some petition before the Lord.

You said, lord, I need you to do some stuff.

Come on, raise your hand If you're in here.

You're in here.

I need the Lord to do some things.

Come on, come on, come on.

You got some.

You got some, but I need you, lord, to do some things.

My thing if you really need the Lord to do some hard stuff and some stuff in your life, go back to praise.

Think about what he's done last year and the year before that and think about and start just saying, lord, I'm going to bless you.

I guarantee you, as you begin to bless the Lord and start crying out to God and praise, he takes that and he comes.

And the Bible said he inhabits the what Come on now.

That's a surefire way you want the Lord to come and see about you.

Open up your mouth and say begin to praise him.

It's like a GPS signal that goes off.

He comes and see about you.

Somebody said well, we moved God with our tears.

I believe we moved him by praise, because Bible, it backs me up.

He inhabits.

That means he looks for the praise.

Are you a praise?

No, no, no.

I say are you a praise?

He looks for the praise.

Are you a praise?

All praises, identify yourself.

I am a praise.

I said all the time that.

I've been saying it for years a praise, a praise, a praise.

A praise is a praise.

It's just somebody being grateful.

A praise ain't a person.

When the Lord bless you at the house Church, you ain't ran the whole year.

But all of a sudden you kicking dust.

Yeah, you praise him.

But a real praise Can praise God when all hell is broke out?

And you still said I'm going to bless the Lord at all times.

His praise shall continue to be in my mouth.

I got some problems.

I'm crying, but I'm yet praising.

I got some situations, but I'm crying, but I'm still praising.

I need a witness in here.

Anybody had to praise God through tears.

Anybody had to praise God through a broken heart.

Come on, so that is our message today for the people of God.

And I know people say I'm tired of people saying praise the Lord, praise the Lord, praise the Lord.

But sometimes we just got to go back to the simplicity.

God wants thanks, praise from his people.

We are, and the sheep of, so we get praise to him.

Is that right?

So I contradict the churches and said be quiet, everybody just sit there, be quiet.

I got something to thank God for, amen.

I can't be quiet because God been good to me.

Do I have a witness in here?

That car wreck supposed to have been killed me, that sickness supposed to have took me out of here, but I'm still here.

That's enough to thank God, for I need you to sit on your feet, everybody.
