Welcome to the Southwest Apostolic Church podcast.
-
This podcast is brought to you by the Southwest Apostolic Church,
-
located at 3161 South Rowena Street in Indianapolis, Indiana, 46241.
-
The podcast will feature preaching
-
from our pastor and from other ministers, so we hope you enjoy it.
-
Without further ado, let's get right into it. God bless.
-
I sang plenty of songs, so I gave you every opportunity to raise your hands and worship God.
-
Aren't you glad for the opportunity tonight? Aren't you glad that we live in
-
America, we can come into the house of God, and we can raise our hands,
-
and we don't have to worry about the Gestapo,
-
or we don't have to worry about anybody coming in and trying to tell us that
-
we can't worship God. I'm glad for our freedoms tonight.
-
Praise the Lord. I said, I'm glad for our freedoms tonight.
-
Amen. I'm glad for the liberty to worship him. And I'm glad that I can.
-
I'm glad that there's something in my heart that wants me to worship him tonight.
-
Amen. I said, I'm glad there's something in my heart that wants to worship him
-
tonight. Praise the Lord.
-
I had dropped this little thought when I was looking here tonight.
-
Psalms 107, beginning at verse one.
-
Oh, give thanks unto the Lord for he is good for his mercy endureth forever.
-
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.
-
And my little thought tonight is, let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
-
Amen. Let's pray one more time. Jesus, hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. We're thankful for the liberty that's here tonight.
-
We're thankful, Jesus, because you're here with us tonight. I feel like I'm
-
in church tonight, Lord, and I'm glad about it.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Praise your holy name. Help us with your word tonight, O God.
-
We ask you to be with us tonight.
-
Amen. Amen. You may be seated. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
-
For his mercy endureth forever. You know, if whatever state we find ourselves
-
in, we should give thanks unto the Lord for no other reason than he's just good.
-
He's just good, that's all. He's been good to us, hasn't he?
-
Amen. And then it goes on to say, let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Amen.
-
And then it goes on to describe those whom the Lord has redeemed.
-
And I like the verse two in the Bible in basic English.
-
It says, let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so.
-
If God has ever taken up our cause and ever helped us out, we ought to say something about it.
-
Amen. We ought to say, thank you, Jesus. We ought to say, thank God for taking
-
up my cause and helping me along the way. Amen.
-
We don't ever want to get to a place where we're not thankful.
-
Amen. The opposite of being thankful is not good, but I always want to have
-
a thankful heart. Don't you?
-
I always wanted to say, you know, and we need to be thankful for the good things.
-
We need to concentrate on the good things.
-
Sometimes we can concentrate on the bad things, but we know one thing,
-
God is good and he'll always be good. Praise the Lord. Amen.
-
He's taken up our cause. What kind of testimony do we have? He's taken up my cause.
-
And he says, those whose cause the Lord has taken up, say so.
-
His people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters.
-
That's kind of modern English, isn't it?
-
The haters you know you know
-
sometimes we have haters like i felt impressed tonight to talk about brother
-
i don't know why i just feel that way it could be true could be not true but
-
the lord wants to work for brother foster maybe and give give him where he don't
-
have to be out of town but sometimes there might be a hater involved you know
-
what i mean there might be somebody,
-
Sometimes they're just haters be haters. That's all.
-
They just be haters. That's all. For whatever reason, they might not like you.
-
They, for whatever reason, and
-
let me say the world's full of them and you don't have to ask for them.
-
And sometimes you don't have any reason that you know of to have a hater, but sometimes we do.
-
Sometimes if you're blessed, somebody will hate you.
-
They won't like it. If you got something better than them, I'll never forget.
-
I've told you this before i know i have when i got that new truck one time 1996
-
let's see no it was a 19 yeah 19 no it was a tooth that no what year was it
-
anyway it don't matter does it.
-
It was brand new and the company bought it and i drove it down i think it was a 2004 tahoe,
-
brand new took it down to the atterbury job
-
core had a load of welding rods and stuff in the
-
back and I backed up to the overhead door and
-
the custom was the students and these
-
are this is job corps people okay this this
-
is people that go to job corps like remember George Foreman George Foreman was
-
in the job corps because he kept beating people up getting in trouble these
-
are people that get in trouble so they put them in the job corps they try to
-
give them a job so I go in there and the custom was they these people these
-
men would unload your truck for you because You take, you know,
-
20 boxes of rod or whatever, and they would all grab it.
-
So, and I, well, I opened the door and I went in there to talk to the instructor
-
and I walked back out and I shut the door on the truck and I just kind of looked at the side of it.
-
And somewhere along the line, a hater came along.
-
Somewhere along the line, somebody got their key out or something,
-
and they just went right down the back side of the quarter panel.
-
And then I got to looking, and it was on the other side.
-
Somebody just a hater. But you know what? I'm glad God can deliver us out of the hands of our haters.
-
Amen. Those that hate us. Praise the Lord. Those taken out of the hands of their
-
haters. You know, we ought to say so.
-
We ought to let people know God's been good to us, and we ought to say something
-
about it. Praise the Lord.
-
Sometimes we talk about witnessing for God, but we ought to live for God because he's just so good to us.
-
Not just talk about him, but we ought to really make an effort to live for him
-
because he's been so good to us.
-
We need to witness for him, not just in what we say, but how we live. Praise the Lord.
-
We ought to let the world know I'm living for God because he's been good to
-
me. I'm living for him. I'm not just talking about him.
-
Everywhere I want my life to be saying so. God's redeemed me. God's been good to me.
-
God's helped me. And everywhere I go, I want to be a reflection of that. Amen.
-
Can I get a witness tonight? Anybody else feel that way?
-
You know, living for God's not just talking. And we should talk.
-
We should invite people to church. But we We need to say so,
-
not necessarily with our lips.
-
We got too many people in the world, their lips are talking Jesus,
-
but their life is not backing it up.
-
Their lips are talking Jesus, but their life's not backing it up.
-
Oh, I was trying to think who I was.
-
I was talking to Chad yesterday, and we was talking about Jelly Roll.
-
You guys see anybody? You young people know who Jelly Roll is, don't you?
-
And Jelly Roll is not necessarily any different than a lot of other music celebrities
-
or Hollywood celebrities. They talk about Jesus, but if you watch what they're
-
doing, they're not letting the redeemed of the Lord say so.
-
They're not saying so. They might be talking about Jesus, but their life's not
-
saying so. I want my life to say so.
-
Amen. I want to know I'm redeemed. Praise the Lord.
-
I want to live in a manner that says so because he's been good to me.
-
I said, has he been good to you tonight?
-
Praise the Lord. He took us out of the hands of our haters.
-
He delivered us from our haters. He brought us together out of all the lands
-
from the east and the west and from the north and from the south.
-
I tell Ruthie, stick with me. We're going places.
-
We got we met she is from fountain square i'm
-
from brightwood god put us together in string
-
town and now we are in mars hill hallelujah
-
and i i said stick
-
with me we're going places praise the lord but you know god brings people he's
-
you were from maybe kentucky maybe from indianapolis maybe from another place
-
but i want to tell you god brings people god can deliver people from their haters
-
and bring them out of the bad things, no matter where they come from,
-
amen, no matter where you were, no matter what your physical locality or no
-
matter what your spiritual locality.
-
Maybe you were a long way spiritually away from Him, but He can bring you out from the east.
-
He can bring you back from the south. He can bring you back from the north. It doesn't matter.
-
And they were wandering in the waste places.
-
Can anybody relate to that tonight besides me? I was wandering in the waste places.
-
$5 Quaaludes, 1980s. I was talking to somebody about that today.
-
And I hadn't thought about that, but it was the truth. We'd spend $5 and buy
-
$15 and buy three Quaaludes.
-
And just spend your money.
-
I don't guess you all never did that. You was all perfect. You all never spent
-
no money on alcohol, never blew no money on cigarettes, never blew no money
-
on marijuana. You ain't never done none of that.
-
God didn't bring you from any waste place, but he did me, praise the Lord.
-
And let the redeemed of the Lord say so. He's been good to me.
-
He brought me from the waste places and I want to let the world know,
-
amen, I'm living for him. Hallelujah.
-
Woo, praise the Lord. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Praise God.
-
We ought to say so when we come to church. We ought not have to be primed and pumped to worship God.
-
We ought to come into the house of God as soon as that first note goes on the piano.
-
Our hands ought to go up. Hallelujah.
-
Amen. First note on the bass. First note on the guitar.
-
There ought to be something in our heart that says, he's been good to me.
-
And I want to say so. Hallelujah.
-
I want to praise him. I want to glorify him.
-
I want to do it because I want to, because he's been good to me.
-
He brought me from the south, the waste places.
-
He's delivered me from my haters.
-
And we were wandering around in the waste places, and there was no resting place.
-
And our souls became feeble for need of food and drink.
-
You know, you can be out in the world and still be hungry.
-
You can come out of a restaurant and still be hungry, still be thirsty in your soul.
-
Anybody else, was you ever thirsty in your soul?
-
Was you ever hungry in your soul, praise the Lord? And you would wander around
-
in the waste places and didn't have a rest, didn't have a resting place,
-
couldn't sleep, couldn't get along.
-
Our souls were feeble because we were hungry and because we were thirsty in
-
our soul, maybe even in our bodies. Praise the Lord.
-
But then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow,
-
and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles.
-
Hallelujah. I'm saying let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
-
We've got a reason to say so, and we ought to say so. Praise the Lord.
-
We ought to give him praise, and we ought to give him all the glory that's due
-
unto his name. Praise the Lord.
-
And you know what? He guides us now, guiding them in the right way.
-
You know, I'm glad we can be led
-
by him. Listen to me. You can be led by him. You can be led by him now.
-
I said, you can be led by him. And what we do, we want to do our thing.
-
We want to do our own thing. And we want to follow what we want and what we
-
feel. But sometimes we need to just be led by him.
-
I had a crazy boss one time. I was working at these apartment complexes, building the decks.
-
They hired four of us to replace these decks, and it was a good job.
-
Every day, they had so many apartments. We'd go to apartment underneath,
-
tear out the ceiling, then cut the deck off above, and then go out there,
-
put new joists in, and there was four of us.
-
And then they got a new boss, and then we started getting the decks done,
-
and they started letting one guy go, and then they let another guy go.
-
So, but in the meantime, this boss, he was kind of a maniac.
-
He would walk around with his little recorder, you know, and you'd be working.
-
All of a sudden, you see him peeping around the bushes, you know.
-
You know, he's watching to see if you're working, praying, and you think, man, this is, you know.
-
And so I got to a place where I thought this, you know, this is crazy.
-
And I thought, I'm just going to quit.
-
I'm just going to quit. I'm just going to do what I think I want to do.
-
You know, you can't always do what you think you want to do.
-
It's best to be led by the Lord.
-
That's one of the blessings of those that have been redeemed.
-
We wandered around. See, we wandered around in waste places.
-
We wandered around doing our thing. But he brought us out.
-
He delivered us from our haters, brought us where we need to be.
-
Now we are in a position as the redeemed to be led by him. I said, that's a blessing.
-
That's a blessing to be led by him. I don't know about you, but I feel good
-
in church tonight. Praise the Lord.
-
I said, I feel good tonight in my soul. Praise the Lord. and I'm glad I got redeemed one day.
-
I'm glad he brought me out of the miry clay and set my feet on a rock to stay.
-
Amen. I said, I'm glad about it. Praise the Lord. I don't want to just talk
-
about it. I want to live it. Praise God.
-
I want it to consume my being. I want to live life as though of somebody that's
-
being redeemed. Praise the Lord.
-
I want people to know I've been redeemed. I want people to understand it and
-
see the difference, praise the Lord.
-
When I got saved, it was the talk of the praxer.
-
Cause well, it was Lindy back then and we would, it's Sutton Garton.
-
We would load our, what was it? I get too many stories going here.
-
We, we would send a truck load over to Lindy and get in unload and load.
-
And then we would bring a truck back.
-
And, and the guys from settling products knew the guys at Lindy and,
-
and we would go over there and, and, and, but after I got in church,
-
they told me, they said, they was talking about you today, Jim, in the break room.
-
And it was all talking about the wild man that's not wild man anymore.
-
Because see, you don't realize that I was wild man. I was the wild man for the
-
devil. When I was out in the waste places, I was out there.
-
Speaking of quaaludes, I didn't take one, I'd take three or four,
-
you know, and then get out and run around and carry on and just get buck wild,
-
stay up all night and do all that stuff. And I was a wild man.
-
And I had that reputation as a wild man, you know.
-
But when I got saved, I quit being a wild man.
-
I said I quit being a wild man. And I told somebody yesterday,
-
I think it was, I said, you know what?
-
I didn't have any, when I got saved, I didn't have no trouble giving up stuff.
-
I didn't have no trouble quitting smoking because when I got in church,
-
I knew saints didn't smoke.
-
So I figured if I got in church, I wasn't supposed to smoke. So I just quit smoking.
-
I just did it because, you know, I just knew that's the way it's supposed to be.
-
So that's what I did, you know, so it didn't bother me, but you know,
-
and, and they, and so I quit that my buddies would all come on.
-
We'd all, we'd all go to Rusty Gardens and smoke some doobies and shoot.
-
And what's that called? Putt, putt miniature golf. And we'd all go smoke doobies and go to Rusty Garden.
-
So I got in church and they come over, come on, Jim, let's go.
-
We're going to Rusty. Now looking back, I should have been more sociable, bro.
-
I said, that's all right. I'm not going because I didn't want to go smoke doobies no more.
-
For you perfect people, a doobie is a marijuana cigarette. I just let you know.
-
For those of you that don't know what a doobie is, let me tell you.
-
But I didn't want to smoke marijuana no more. But I knew myself if I went with
-
them, I'd be smoking it. And I knew that I didn't want to smoke it no more.
-
And so I was a wild man.
-
And they would say, they're talking about. So you see, that's the way it is. We are now in a position.
-
He brought us out, folks. We've been redeemed. Praise the Lord.
-
We've been redeemed. God's been good to us. He's been good to anybody here tonight.
-
I said, has he been good to anybody tonight?
-
He brought us out of the miry clay, set our feet on a rock to stay.
-
And now we are in a position to be led by him.
-
And I had a crazy boss, and I thought, I'm just going to quit.
-
I took a day off, and I had done some little framing.
-
I knew how to do a little framing, carpenter work, and I knew a little bit.
-
So I thought, I'm going to find another job.
-
So I took a day off, and I thought, you know, it'd be good to swing by the church and pray about that.
-
Pray about this situation. Let me tell you, whatever situation you got,
-
it'd be good to pray about it.
-
Amen. Brother Matthews was big on that, and I think we ought to be big on that.
-
Praise the Lord. Lord, you don't just run off and do something.
-
You better pray about it first. Come on, somebody.
-
So I went to church that day. I can remember it was early morning,
-
not early, early, because I mean, like 10, 1030, something like that, if I remember right.
-
And I'm in there and I'm praying, Lord, you know, I'm going to go look for another job.
-
But God, you know, I really wanted to be led, but I want to,
-
you know, do the right thing. And I'm praying.
-
And something said, just hang on.
-
You know, if the Lord says, just hang on a little bit, it's good just to hang
-
on a little bit. The blessings of being led by him.
-
Okay. Now, this is just my little testimony. I'm just, I'm just,
-
this is just the redeemed.
-
You see, I can give my testimony, but you can give your testimony.
-
I might have a testimony and I've got one. God brought me out.
-
I've been redeemed and I want, and I don't mind talking about it.
-
I don't mind, I don't mind saying that God is good and I don't mind living it.
-
And I want to live it. Now, I tell you what, I'm just in this thing because
-
I want to be, and I'm in this thing to live for God, and I want that world to
-
know that I am, and I'm not perfect.
-
I'm not saying I'm somebody, but I'm trying to be saved.
-
I'm doing it because I feel like I want to, and I want to do something for God,
-
and I want to live for God, and I'm trying the best I can.
-
Praise the Lord. Anybody else feel that way tonight?
-
I know I'm not perfect. I'm not claiming to be perfect, but I am sincere.
-
Are you sincere tonight? Praise the Lord. Are you really trying?
-
That's a wonderful thing if you really are.
-
So I said, okay, I better just hang on.
-
So I went back to work and Boston was still crazy.
-
And, but it wasn't just a matter. Like I told you, it started with four,
-
it went down to three, went down to two.
-
There was an old man, old Ed, his name was Ed and me.
-
And about two weeks, three weeks later, they called me in the office and they
-
said, we're going to let you go.
-
We're running out of work and we're going to let you go.
-
Now, see, I could have been depressed about that, but I felt like I was being led by God.
-
See, I waited. I waited, and I was letting it unfold.
-
Let me say, it's always good to let the rose unfold because you can't, you know.
-
Now, I talked. There's an evangelist. You'd know who he was if I told you.
-
And we was talking one time. It's been years ago. and we were talking one time
-
and he was talking about what he was going to do and doing this and I said well
-
you know and in the conversation I said they always taught me to let the rose unfold.
-
Just kind of let things happen a little bit and he kind of looked at me like
-
that was a foreign concept you know some people are always worrying about their
-
career always thinking about what can they do to get ahead how can I do it how
-
about just letting the rose unfold because you can't make a rose unfold.
-
No matter how you try, if you get a hold, I looked at my rose bushes the other
-
day and I told Sister Young, they're getting ready to explode. They got buds.
-
Both of them's got buds all over and there won't be long to be beautiful roses on there.
-
But if I go out there and try to open that bud up and try to bring that rose
-
out before it's time, I'm going to destroy it.
-
But if I wait, just step back and let God do his thing, hallelujah,
-
and let that rose do like a rose does and let that thing unfold, then I got the beauty.
-
I got the beauty there. So you can't go wrong letting the rose unfold.
-
And I'll never forget one time at our old house and it was hard times.
-
Life was hard. And I walked out and Sister Young knows very well.
-
We had a rose bush there on one corner of the little porch there.
-
And I walked out there one day and a rose was out there and it hit me.
-
There ain't one thing I can do to make that rose grow.
-
I can't make that rose grow. I can't make it. I can't do anything about it.
-
That belongs to God. And let me say, some things belong to God.
-
And sometimes timing belongs to God.
-
You just let God work in his time.
-
The Bible said he makes death beautiful in his time.
-
So we are in a position to be led by God.
-
And two weeks later or whatever, they said, we're going to let you go.
-
And I didn't feel bad about it. And I worked with Brother Don Brown from the west side.
-
He worked and he was doing a job and he wanted some studs done up in the attic
-
or something. I forget what it was exactly.
-
So I worked with him for about a week and a half.
-
And in the meantime, I had went back to my old employer at Acetylene Products
-
and told him that I was looking for a job.
-
And it wasn't just a week, week and a half. I got a phone call.
-
Sutton Garton Company needing a driver.
-
Okay. So I go in there and I knew, I can tell you this. I felt this. I could tell you.
-
It's different now. They've changed the building, but there was a ramp.
-
And when I was going up that ramp, I knew that I had waited on God.
-
I knew that the call had gone.
-
You know, I knew that I had prayed about it, and I knew that the rose was unfolding,
-
and I knew I was going to get that job.
-
I felt that way anyway. And I tell this all the time. Remember,
-
let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
-
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
-
It's good every now and then to rehearse what God has done for you.
-
It's good to let somebody know what God has done for you every once in a while.
-
Or just sit in a chair and rehearse it to yourself.
-
You know, maybe instead of being down in the dumps, you need to rehearse and
-
think about what God's done for you.
-
Think about how good he's been to you. Praise the Lord. So anyway,
-
they said, okay, we'll hire you.
-
We'll hire you part-time to see how it works. And so the next day I went in.
-
Just raise your hands right now. I feel the Holy Ghost in here.
-
There's all kind of liberty. I wish I knew what to do with it. Praise the Lord.
-
Somebody needs to raise your hands and get the Holy Ghost tonight.
-
Somebody says, hey, I want to be one of those redeemed. Let the redeemed of
-
the Lord say so. I want to be one of the redeemed. Hallelujah.
-
Because the Bible says when the redeemed are gathering in. Hallelujah.
-
Wash like snow and free from all sin. Praise God. When the redeemed,
-
the song says, when the redeemed are gathering in. Hallelujah.
-
I want to be in that number, don't you? when the redeemed are gathering in.
-
I want to be in that number, and everybody in here has the ability to be in that number tonight.
-
Come on, come on. Let's worship God right now. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Come on, somebody. Say, hey, hey, hey, come on.
-
Let God get you out of the hands of your haters. Let God bring you from wandering around in a waste place.
-
Amen. Doesn't matter where you are, north, south, east, west, how far away you are.
-
Praise the Lord. Bring, come on in and get yourself in a position to be led by him. Hallelujah.
-
Let the world know what he's done for you. Praise God. Let the world know what
-
he can do for you. Hallelujah.
-
First day I worked till about three o'clock or three 30.
-
Every day for 35 years, I was full time.
-
35 years, same place. Check never missed a bounce. Check never bounced.
-
We used to tease about Mr. Garton's checks. You don't have to worry about his.
-
They ain't going to bounce. Unless I told you his sweep account got mixed up. Praise the Lord.
-
And God was good to me. God gave me a job that the guys working younger than
-
me all had college educations.
-
I didn't have no college education.
-
But I had the same job they had.
-
Come on, somebody. I said I had the same job they had. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
-
And guess what? When they bought them a new vehicle, next time it come around, I got a new vehicle.
-
Come on, I'm not bragging. And I'm just letting the redeemed of the Lord say so here tonight.
-
Now, listen to me. I worked on the truck for a year and a half,
-
went inside, worked inside sales for a year and a half.
-
Then I got a chance to go out on outside sales.
-
So about 33 of 32, 30-something years of that was in outside sales.
-
When I first went into outside sales, they gave me a little minivan that had
-
like 100,000 miles on it and gave me a little list of customers.
-
Just within a few months later, he wrote a check, and I got a brand-new 1992
-
Dodge Caravan. He paid for it. He never even saw it.
-
Four years later, I got a 1996 Tahoe that he never even saw until they came
-
down and brought the papers.
-
Four years later, I got a 2001 Suburban that he never even saw until they come
-
down and sign the papers. Are you with me?
-
I'm saying let God lead you. Let God do it, and God will unfold it. Hallelujah.
-
God will guide you. He takes care of the redeemed. Amen. He brought us out.
-
He leads us. He guides us. Hallelujah.
-
2004, I got a 2001 Suburban. 2004, I got a 2004 Envoy. 2008, I'm losing track.
-
Brother Means said, who buys the gas for those? I said, they do.
-
Brother Means said, who pays for the oil change? I said, they do.
-
Who does the maintenance? They do. Brother Means, if you ever knew Brother Means,
-
he looked at me, he said, brother.
-
He said, brother, you ain't got a job. You got a position.
-
I'm going to tell you, God will take you from a job and give you a position. Come on, somebody.
-
I'm talking about let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Praise the Lord.
-
Live your life and let the world know he's redeemed you. Amen.
-
Be led by him. Hallelujah.
-
Praise the Lord. He'll lead you. That's the blessing of being redeemed.
-
He guides them in the right way so they might come into the town of their resting place.
-
You see, you've got a resting place in God, And we all need to seek that resting place in God.
-
And that resting place is being led by him and let him bring you to the place where you belong.
-
Your resting place. The place where you feel good. The place where you're not
-
all tormented. Come on, somebody.
-
He brought a man to the resting place. So let men give praise to the Lord for
-
his mercy and for the wonders which he does for the children of men.
-
I think we ought to raise our hands and do that right now.
-
Lord, we love you tonight. Hallelujah. Woo!
-
You have been good to us, Lord. Hallelujah. He gives this desire to the unrested
-
soul so that it is full of good things.
-
Listen, those who were in the dark, in the black of night, in chains of sorrow and iron.
-
And it goes on to let us know why men end up their way and why they end up like
-
they do. But when we cry out to God.
-
Psalms 107, 14, he took them out of the dark and the black night,
-
and all their chains were broken.
-
Anybody got any broken chains in your life tonight?
-
Has he delivered anybody tonight?
-
Has he done anything good for you tonight? Has he lifted you up? Has he blessed you?
-
Has he done anything good for you? If so, you ought to say so.
-
Hallelujah. You ought to praise him.
-
Somebody clap your hands. If your hands are working, give him a little bit of praise. Hallelujah.
-
Somebody say hallelujah.
-
Somebody say glory to God. Somebody lift him up. Praise the Lord.
-
Woo! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
-
I love you, Jesus. Anybody say I love you, Jesus. I worship you, Jesus.
-
We ought to say so. Praise the Lord. This place ought to erupt with our praise.
-
It ought to erupt with our worship. Praise God.
-
It ought to erupt with a dance. It ought to erupt with a run.
-
It ought to erupt with a shout. Hallelujah.
-
Because God has been good to us. Woo!
-
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
-
Woo! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! James says, they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
-
and he saved them out of their distresses.
-
As the music comes tonight.
-
Saints, let's be one of those that say so. Whether it's living our life in a
-
manner that speaks to our redemption,
-
let us speak of our redemption with our vocal cords, but not only with our vocal
-
cords, let our life reflect a life of redemption.
-
Let the world see a difference.
-
Hallelujah. And then when they ask you, then when they ask you,
-
why do you do what you do? Why do you not do what you do?
-
Well, let me tell you. The reason is because I was wandering in the wilderness in a solitary way.
-
I had no city to dwell in.
-
I was hungry and thirsty, and my soul was fainting.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. But I cried unto the Lord in my trouble, and he delivered me out
-
of their distresses, hallelujah.
-
And he led me by the right way that I might go to a city of habitation.
-
That's why I live like I live. That's why I do like I do. God has been good to me.
-
God has blessed me, hallelujah, God has done things in my life that I never
-
thought possible, hallelujah.
-
Somebody clap your hands, come on, come on, come on, you know, let's think about it.
-
Been good to us we come to church we've been redeemed he's done all these good
-
things for us and we sing a song and we go he brought me out of my recline,
-
but i'm going to tell you what that's all the praise we give him.
-
Hey they give more praise to somebody down there that throws a touchdown you
-
know what i mean somebody will throw a touchdown and that place goes nuts Those people go crazy.
-
They jump, shout, carry on, run around, fall over, you know,
-
all because their man threw a touchdown.
-
You know what we ought to do? We ought to come into the house of the Lord and
-
give him a little praise because we've been redeemed.
-
Stevie, he's been good to us. Hallelujah.
-
He brought us out of the miry clay. He set our feet on a rock to stay,
-
praise God. And we ought to praise him.
-
We ought to say so, praise God. We ought to lift him up in everything we do.
-
Woo! Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Altar's open tonight. Anybody else want to come and pray tonight?
-
Anybody else want to say, Lord, you've been good to me?
