We appreciate you and god bless you.
00:00:31.974 --> 00:00:34.343
(upbeat music)
00:00:34.343 --> 00:00:53.729
Friend, it's so good to have you with us today
00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:56.799
And i'm glad to have aaron with me
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.567
And sharing the word of god.
00:00:58.567 --> 00:01:00.369
We're actually gonna be sharing from one of his teachings
00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:03.272
On the power of praise.
00:01:03.272 --> 00:01:06.175
And did you know what?
00:01:06.175 --> 00:01:07.276
When you learn the power of praise,
00:01:07.276 --> 00:01:09.245
It will bring you in to the victory that god has for you.
00:01:09.245 --> 00:01:13.849
- it's something that god has been revealing to me lately,
00:01:13.849 --> 00:01:17.319
Is just the power of what comes out of our mouth.
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.222
- [lawson] amen.
00:01:20.222 --> 00:01:21.524
- you know, we actually have two sets of eyes,
00:01:21.524 --> 00:01:23.058
Two sets of ears.
00:01:23.058 --> 00:01:24.260
You know, the scripture talks about
00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:25.828
How you have eyes to see, you know,
00:01:25.828 --> 00:01:28.731
Some people still don't see,
00:01:28.731 --> 00:01:30.533
So they're saying people have physical eyes,
00:01:30.533 --> 00:01:32.368
But they're not really seeing what's happening
00:01:32.368 --> 00:01:33.903
In the spirit realm.
00:01:33.903 --> 00:01:35.004
- [lawson] right.
00:01:35.004 --> 00:01:36.272
- so you have eyes in the natural realm,
00:01:36.272 --> 00:01:37.439
You also have a spiritual set of eyes.
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.375
And the bible talks about having ears to hear
00:01:39.375 --> 00:01:41.644
But not hearing, some people don't hear.
00:01:41.644 --> 00:01:43.746
- [lawson] right.
00:01:43.746 --> 00:01:45.247
- you know, sometimes you're preaching the same word
00:01:45.247 --> 00:01:47.183
To the same people and some people hear it
00:01:47.183 --> 00:01:48.951
And some people don't.
00:01:48.951 --> 00:01:50.286
- [lawson] yes.
00:01:50.286 --> 00:01:51.253
- because you have natural ears
00:01:51.253 --> 00:01:52.388
But you also have spiritual ears.
00:01:52.388 --> 00:01:54.356
But you have one mouth.
00:01:54.356 --> 00:01:55.891
Your mouth is actually the bridge between the natural realm
00:01:55.891 --> 00:01:58.961
And the spirit realm.
00:01:58.961 --> 00:02:00.162
- [lawson] amen. - what's coming outta
00:02:00.162 --> 00:02:01.330
Your mouth is affecting the spirit realm.
00:02:01.330 --> 00:02:03.065
And praise is really the highest thing
00:02:03.065 --> 00:02:06.168
That can come outta your mouth
00:02:06.168 --> 00:02:07.536
That's the most powerful thing in the natural realm
00:02:07.536 --> 00:02:10.773
And in the spiritual realm.
00:02:10.773 --> 00:02:12.241
So, we're gonna be talking about the power of praise
00:02:12.241 --> 00:02:14.310
And just what that means.
00:02:14.310 --> 00:02:15.811
You know, you might not be a good singer,
00:02:15.811 --> 00:02:18.013
But you can still praise god.
00:02:18.013 --> 00:02:19.882
- amen.
00:02:19.882 --> 00:02:20.816
We can still give thanks.
00:02:20.816 --> 00:02:22.751
You know, thanksgiving is a form of praise.
00:02:22.751 --> 00:02:26.055
And when you give thanks, did you know what?
00:02:26.055 --> 00:02:29.058
And you're releasing something into the spirit realm,
00:02:29.058 --> 00:02:32.962
And it actually causes more good things,
00:02:32.962 --> 00:02:35.831
More grace to come towards you.
00:02:35.831 --> 00:02:38.500
- and this is a very foundational, very powerful thing
00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:42.204
To think about and to really enact in your own life.
00:02:42.204 --> 00:02:45.474
You know, if you go back to even before,
00:02:45.474 --> 00:02:49.211
You know, this earth was created before mankind was created,
00:02:49.211 --> 00:02:51.814
You know, god had his angels in heaven.
00:02:51.814 --> 00:02:54.683
He had different archangels,
00:02:54.683 --> 00:02:56.385
You know, one of his main archangels was lucifer,
00:02:56.385 --> 00:02:58.721
Who was appointed over praise.
00:02:58.721 --> 00:03:00.789
- [lawson] yes. - but he wanted to steal
00:03:00.789 --> 00:03:02.358
The praise away from god and have it go to himself.
00:03:02.358 --> 00:03:05.261
And that's one thing that the enemy still wants today.
00:03:05.261 --> 00:03:07.463
He hates it when you praise god,
00:03:07.463 --> 00:03:09.098
He hates it when you praise jesus,
00:03:09.098 --> 00:03:10.299
He wants to steal that praise away.
00:03:10.299 --> 00:03:13.002
He'd rather have other things coming outta your mouth.
00:03:13.002 --> 00:03:15.938
He'd rather have, you know,
00:03:15.938 --> 00:03:17.339
Complaining coming outta your mouth or, you know,
00:03:17.339 --> 00:03:20.943
Just defeat coming outta your mouth,
00:03:20.943 --> 00:03:23.579
You know, tearing down other people coming outta your mouth.
00:03:24.747 --> 00:03:27.549
But when you thank god, when you praise god,
00:03:27.549 --> 00:03:32.054
That is so powerful in the realm of the spirit,
00:03:32.054 --> 00:03:34.390
And it really shuts down the enemy in all of his devices.
00:03:34.390 --> 00:03:39.261
- amen.
00:03:39.261 --> 00:03:40.663
- so, we'll see that here right from the get go,
00:03:40.663 --> 00:03:42.564
I wanna look at matthew 21:14-16.
00:03:42.564 --> 00:03:47.269
It says here that the blind and the lame came to him,
00:03:48.370 --> 00:03:51.006
Came to jesus in the temple and he healed them.
00:03:51.006 --> 00:03:54.176
But when the chief priests in scribes
00:03:54.977 --> 00:03:57.513
Saw the wonderful things that he did,
00:03:57.513 --> 00:04:00.082
So they saw him healing people,
00:04:00.082 --> 00:04:01.617
You know, healing actually, and even teaching on healing
00:04:01.617 --> 00:04:04.119
And believing for healing, that still offends
00:04:04.119 --> 00:04:06.789
That religious spirit today.
00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:08.757
- right.
00:04:08.757 --> 00:04:09.958
- it's kinda funny that there's actually
00:04:10.826 --> 00:04:12.961
A demonic force behind that religious spirit
00:04:12.961 --> 00:04:15.664
That wants people to be sick and defeated
00:04:15.664 --> 00:04:18.133
And not to trust god for victory in their life.
00:04:18.133 --> 00:04:22.538
So it says, the chief priest and scribes,
00:04:22.538 --> 00:04:24.306
They saw these wonderful things happening
00:04:24.306 --> 00:04:27.242
And that made them angry.
00:04:27.242 --> 00:04:29.878
But not only that, it's when the children were crying out,
00:04:29.878 --> 00:04:32.614
The children were praising.
00:04:32.614 --> 00:04:34.717
It says the children were crying out in the temple
00:04:34.717 --> 00:04:37.152
And saying, "hosanna to the son of david."
00:04:37.152 --> 00:04:41.056
Instead of these religious people
00:04:41.056 --> 00:04:42.558
That had that religious spirit,
00:04:42.558 --> 00:04:44.126
That bitterness, that offense,
00:04:44.126 --> 00:04:46.028
They wanted to be offended over everything.
00:04:46.028 --> 00:04:47.429
We're gonna be offended over people getting healed,
00:04:47.429 --> 00:04:49.698
We're gonna be offended over what's happening
00:04:49.698 --> 00:04:51.567
In the kids' church.
00:04:51.567 --> 00:04:53.168
- [lawson] right.
00:04:53.168 --> 00:04:54.636
- and it says, they became indignant and said to him,
00:04:54.636 --> 00:04:57.840
Said to jesus, "do you hear what these are saying?"
00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:00.509
And jesus said to them,
00:05:00.509 --> 00:05:02.544
"yes, have you never read out of the mouth of babes
00:05:03.612 --> 00:05:06.482
And nursing infants?
00:05:06.482 --> 00:05:07.716
You have perfected praise."
00:05:07.716 --> 00:05:09.885
He's actually quoting psalm 8:2 with a slight twist.
00:05:09.885 --> 00:05:13.422
- [lawson] right.
00:05:13.422 --> 00:05:14.623
- and the twist is really important.
00:05:14.623 --> 00:05:15.958
So psalm 8:2 says, out of the mouth of babes
00:05:15.958 --> 00:05:17.426
And nursing infants, you have ordained strength.
00:05:17.426 --> 00:05:20.863
Because of your enemies that you may silence the enemy
00:05:20.863 --> 00:05:23.699
And the avenger.
00:05:23.699 --> 00:05:25.267
So here he is saying, what's coming outta this kid's mouth,
00:05:25.267 --> 00:05:28.737
He said, it is a perfect praise.
00:05:28.737 --> 00:05:31.840
- right.
00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:33.342
- and it was perfect because they were praising jesus.
00:05:33.342 --> 00:05:35.811
- and they were praising him for who he is.
00:05:35.811 --> 00:05:40.482
- when your focus is on jesus, that's what makes...
00:05:40.482 --> 00:05:43.552
- right.
00:05:43.552 --> 00:05:44.386
- praise perfect.
00:05:44.386 --> 00:05:45.687
You know, there's a lot of different types
00:05:45.687 --> 00:05:47.556
Of christian music out there and you have to be careful
00:05:47.556 --> 00:05:50.959
To what you're listening to on the radio.
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:52.094
Sometimes the focus isn't on jesus.
00:05:52.094 --> 00:05:54.696
- [lawson] right.
00:05:54.696 --> 00:05:56.198
- and the victory that we have in jesus in who he is,
00:05:56.198 --> 00:05:57.699
Sometimes the focus is on yourself and your emotions
00:05:57.699 --> 00:06:02.070
And what you're thinking and what you're feeling,
00:06:02.070 --> 00:06:03.939
That's not really praise.
00:06:03.939 --> 00:06:05.607
- [lawson] yep.
00:06:05.607 --> 00:06:06.608
- that's just an emotional level.
00:06:06.608 --> 00:06:09.011
- you know, aaron, i was just reading a book
00:06:09.011 --> 00:06:10.813
By jonathan shuttlesworth, it's really a great book,
00:06:10.813 --> 00:06:14.116
But he was talking about 20 aspects of the anointing
00:06:14.116 --> 00:06:18.787
Of financial increase.
00:06:18.787 --> 00:06:20.355
And one of the things he was talking about was praise.
00:06:20.355 --> 00:06:23.292
And he was talking about in a lot of churches
00:06:23.292 --> 00:06:25.427
That he goes to, he won't even go into the worship service
00:06:25.427 --> 00:06:29.264
Because the worship songs are so unbiblical
00:06:29.264 --> 00:06:33.402
And he doesn't want to get mad
00:06:33.402 --> 00:06:34.837
And just preach about that for the whole service.
00:06:34.837 --> 00:06:37.773
But, you know, a lot of times people don't really realize
00:06:37.773 --> 00:06:41.543
What the bible says.
00:06:41.543 --> 00:06:43.245
And in this case, these religious leaders were attacking
00:06:43.245 --> 00:06:47.049
Jesus because people were praising him for who he is.
00:06:47.049 --> 00:06:52.721
And did you know, if you don't get a revelation
00:06:53.655 --> 00:06:55.858
Of who jesus christ is,
00:06:55.858 --> 00:06:57.493
That he is the son of the living god,
00:06:57.493 --> 00:06:59.628
That he is the messiah.
00:06:59.628 --> 00:07:01.029
So they were singing hosanna of the son of david.
00:07:01.029 --> 00:07:03.932
They were praising jesus because they said,
00:07:03.932 --> 00:07:06.602
Jesus, you are the son of david, you are the anointed one,
00:07:06.602 --> 00:07:10.472
You are the one who has been promised
00:07:10.472 --> 00:07:13.242
To bring the deliverance that god has promised us.
00:07:13.242 --> 00:07:16.745
And so that offended this religious spirit.
00:07:16.745 --> 00:07:20.315
And there are people who have a religious spirit.
00:07:20.315 --> 00:07:23.285
You know, we fight challenges sometimes,
00:07:23.285 --> 00:07:25.387
And we see forces that are clearly demonic from the enemy.
00:07:25.387 --> 00:07:29.625
But at the same point in time, there are people
00:07:29.625 --> 00:07:31.727
That are religious and they've picked up a religious spirit
00:07:31.727 --> 00:07:34.963
And they're being used by the devil.
00:07:34.963 --> 00:07:37.900
These religious people were being used by the devil to try
00:07:37.900 --> 00:07:41.837
To shut down the praise that belonged to jesus christ.
00:07:41.837 --> 00:07:46.441
- well, and even, you know, when the devil
00:07:46.441 --> 00:07:48.377
Was tempting jesus, you know,
00:07:48.377 --> 00:07:50.445
The three temptations when he was in the wilderness
00:07:50.445 --> 00:07:52.814
After he'd been water baptized and went into the wilderness
00:07:52.814 --> 00:07:55.751
To pray and fast for 40 days,
00:07:55.751 --> 00:07:57.386
The devil tried to get jesus to worship him.
00:07:57.386 --> 00:08:01.189
That was one of the temptations was,
00:08:01.189 --> 00:08:03.125
"hey, if you bow down and worship me,
00:08:03.125 --> 00:08:04.893
I'll give you everything."
00:08:04.893 --> 00:08:06.962
- [lawson] right.
00:08:06.962 --> 00:08:08.230
- and jesus wouldn't do it so you can really see
00:08:08.230 --> 00:08:10.232
What the enemy is after, he wants people,
00:08:10.232 --> 00:08:12.267
He wants to steal a way that that praise
00:08:12.267 --> 00:08:15.571
That belongs to god, that praise that belongs
00:08:15.571 --> 00:08:17.306
To jesus for himself ever since,
00:08:17.306 --> 00:08:20.008
You know, he was an archangel as lucifer.
00:08:20.008 --> 00:08:22.778
That's what he was after, it's a prideful thing.
00:08:22.778 --> 00:08:25.981
Pride is where the root of a lot of sin,
00:08:25.981 --> 00:08:29.484
A lot of people getting off track,
00:08:29.484 --> 00:08:31.186
A lot of really just self focus, self worship.
00:08:31.186 --> 00:08:37.559
- yeah.
00:08:37.793 --> 00:08:39.061
- pride's usually at the source of that.
00:08:39.061 --> 00:08:40.896
- right.
00:08:40.896 --> 00:08:42.497
- and it blinds people that's really how the enemy distracts
00:08:42.497 --> 00:08:45.267
And deceives people is through pride.
00:08:45.267 --> 00:08:48.236
- right. - and,
00:08:48.236 --> 00:08:49.638
You know, jesus actually told, you know,
00:08:49.638 --> 00:08:52.240
The devil that, you know,
00:08:52.808 --> 00:08:54.343
You shall worship the lord your god and him only, you know,
00:08:54.343 --> 00:08:57.212
He quoted the old testament,
00:08:57.212 --> 00:08:58.146
But he actually told the devil,
00:08:58.146 --> 00:08:59.314
"i am the lord god, i am jehovah."
00:08:59.314 --> 00:09:02.150
- and so what did the devil do, you know,
00:09:02.150 --> 00:09:05.654
Or satan do in the garden when he was lucifer,
00:09:05.654 --> 00:09:08.924
He came in the form of a serpent
00:09:08.924 --> 00:09:10.826
And he tried to take the worship that was to be ascribed
00:09:10.826 --> 00:09:14.596
To god and get it assigned to himself.
00:09:14.596 --> 00:09:17.099
And really, he usurped the authority
00:09:17.099 --> 00:09:20.502
That god had given to man and tried to get man
00:09:20.502 --> 00:09:23.605
To worship him rather than worship god.
00:09:23.605 --> 00:09:26.508
- [aaron] yeah.
00:09:26.508 --> 00:09:27.809
- and really, when you study matthew chapter 4
00:09:27.809 --> 00:09:30.045
And luke chapter 4, you see that the same temptations
00:09:30.045 --> 00:09:34.883
That the enemy used against adam and eve in the garden
00:09:34.883 --> 00:09:39.321
And eve was deceived.
00:09:39.321 --> 00:09:40.656
Adam knew what he was doing,
00:09:40.656 --> 00:09:42.157
But he used those same temptations against jesus.
00:09:42.157 --> 00:09:45.827
And jesus spoke the word to the enemy and overcame.
00:09:45.827 --> 00:09:49.498
And he said, you shall worship the lord, thy god in him
00:09:49.498 --> 00:09:53.001
Only shall you serve.
00:09:53.001 --> 00:09:54.503
- well and every time he came to jesus,
00:09:54.503 --> 00:09:57.205
He started off by questioning his identity, if you are...
00:09:57.205 --> 00:10:00.776
- [lawson] right. - the son of god.
00:10:00.776 --> 00:10:02.044
- [lawson] right.
00:10:02.044 --> 00:10:03.378
- and jesus responded with the word of god.
00:10:03.378 --> 00:10:06.148
And, you know, he said,
00:10:06.148 --> 00:10:07.449
"you shall worship the lord your god, yahweh."
00:10:07.449 --> 00:10:09.818
You know, so actually, you know, scripturally,
00:10:09.818 --> 00:10:14.222
Theologically, the first person that jesus blatantly told
00:10:15.357 --> 00:10:18.560
That he was god, eternal god was the devil.
00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:23.031
- [lawson] right.
00:10:23.031 --> 00:10:24.299
- and that's, you know, the same way again,
00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:26.968
Satan tried to tempt adam and eve was in their identity.
00:10:26.968 --> 00:10:30.238
- right.
00:10:30.238 --> 00:10:31.640
- you know, they're created in the image of god,
00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:32.641
Male and female, he created them.
00:10:32.641 --> 00:10:34.076
But he doesn't really want you to be like him.
00:10:34.076 --> 00:10:37.579
You know, you know you're created in his image,
00:10:37.579 --> 00:10:39.114
But not really because he doesn't want you to be like him.
00:10:39.114 --> 00:10:42.284
And the enemy tries to get you to focus on lack.
00:10:42.284 --> 00:10:45.220
- right.
00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:46.354
- and that's how he steals praise.
00:10:46.354 --> 00:10:48.023
You know, so when we're filming this, you know,
00:10:48.023 --> 00:10:49.858
This is going out during thanksgiving time,
00:10:49.858 --> 00:10:52.027
Which is awesome because we can look at all the good things
00:10:52.027 --> 00:10:54.529
That god has done, which helps us praise.
00:10:54.529 --> 00:10:57.299
But the enemy, the way he steals praise
00:10:57.299 --> 00:11:00.368
From your mouth towards god
00:11:00.368 --> 00:11:01.636
Is by getting you to focus on lack,
00:11:01.636 --> 00:11:04.339
By twisting your identity and saying you're not enough.
00:11:04.339 --> 00:11:07.609
You're not really made in the image of god,
00:11:07.609 --> 00:11:09.411
You're lacking, there's a scarcity.
00:11:09.411 --> 00:11:12.280
- [lawson] right.
00:11:12.280 --> 00:11:13.815
- god's holding out, he's not good, he's not, you know,
00:11:13.815 --> 00:11:17.586
But these children saw it.
00:11:17.586 --> 00:11:20.155
And there's something powerful about praising god,
00:11:20.155 --> 00:11:22.591
You know, i was thinking about this.
00:11:22.591 --> 00:11:24.926
My wife and i pastor the youth.
00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:28.096
And that can be actually a difficult age
00:11:28.096 --> 00:11:30.031
For people to really praise god.
00:11:30.031 --> 00:11:34.870
And it's just different things going on,
00:11:34.870 --> 00:11:36.805
It's not the easiest time of life,
00:11:36.805 --> 00:11:39.574
But there's something so powerful when you praise god
00:11:39.574 --> 00:11:42.077
At different times in your life.
00:11:42.077 --> 00:11:43.545
You know, we're gonna praise god for all eternity.
00:11:43.545 --> 00:11:45.647
- [lawson] right.
00:11:45.647 --> 00:11:46.615
- you know, so praising god
00:11:46.615 --> 00:11:47.949
Is not gonna be difficult in heaven,
00:11:47.949 --> 00:11:50.252
It's not really gonna be sacrificial in heaven.
00:11:50.252 --> 00:11:53.288
(upbeat music)
00:11:53.288 --> 00:11:56.358
- the church is the best thing
00:11:56.992 --> 00:11:58.627
That has ever happened to the world.
00:11:58.627 --> 00:12:00.629
I'm so thankful for the church.
00:12:00.629 --> 00:12:02.197
I'm so thankful for the global body of believers.
00:12:02.197 --> 00:12:04.966
I'm so thankful for local church bodies like this.
00:12:04.966 --> 00:12:08.170
I love the local church
00:12:08.170 --> 00:12:10.071
Because jesus loves the local church.
00:12:10.071 --> 00:12:13.074
This is the thing that is holding our country together.
00:12:13.074 --> 00:12:15.911
(upbeat music)
00:12:15.911 --> 00:12:25.086
You know, when you have mansion that's solid gold
00:12:26.087 --> 00:12:28.723
And, you know, a hundred thousand square feet and...
00:12:28.723 --> 00:12:31.593
I hope you praise god there.
00:12:31.593 --> 00:12:33.228
- i was reading the book of revelation today
00:12:33.228 --> 00:12:36.598
In my daily bible reading.
00:12:36.598 --> 00:12:39.034
And when i was reading it, i was reading about heaven
00:12:39.034 --> 00:12:42.470
And reading about the streets, you know, of gold
00:12:42.470 --> 00:12:46.174
And the crystal sea
00:12:46.174 --> 00:12:50.278
And i mean ultimate wealth.
00:12:50.278 --> 00:12:53.048
And, you know, when you really begin to see that it,
00:12:53.048 --> 00:12:56.384
And just thinking about eternity
00:12:56.384 --> 00:12:58.253
And living with god in his presence.
00:12:58.253 --> 00:13:00.622
And god absolutely has no lack.
00:13:00.622 --> 00:13:03.792
But just like you say, the enemy wants to get you
00:13:03.792 --> 00:13:06.561
To focus on what you don't have.
00:13:06.561 --> 00:13:09.464
And, you know, he came to jesus when he tempted jesus,
00:13:09.464 --> 00:13:12.868
Jesus was tempted in all points like we are yet without sin.
00:13:12.868 --> 00:13:16.504
- [aaron] yeah.
00:13:16.504 --> 00:13:17.772
- but he said, if you be the son of god,
00:13:17.772 --> 00:13:19.908
If you be the son of god, if you be the son of god,
00:13:19.908 --> 00:13:22.210
So every temptation starts with an attack on his identity.
00:13:22.210 --> 00:13:28.583
- and that's...
00:13:28.950 --> 00:13:29.918
So, i wanna complete my thought.
00:13:29.918 --> 00:13:31.353
- [lawson] okay.
00:13:31.353 --> 00:13:32.621
- because i was talking about why it's important
00:13:32.621 --> 00:13:33.555
To praise god here on earth.
00:13:33.555 --> 00:13:35.724
Because this is your only chance to praise god
00:13:35.724 --> 00:13:38.393
When you don't see him face to face
00:13:38.393 --> 00:13:40.929
When you're still believing for things,
00:13:40.929 --> 00:13:42.731
Maybe when you're going through a difficult time.
00:13:42.731 --> 00:13:44.933
And there's something that really touches god's heart
00:13:44.933 --> 00:13:47.402
When you praise him here on this earth that is so valuable.
00:13:47.402 --> 00:13:51.172
And he has the praise of thousands upon thousands
00:13:51.172 --> 00:13:54.109
Of saints and angels.
00:13:54.109 --> 00:13:55.844
But your praise here and the praise of children.
00:13:55.844 --> 00:13:59.481
- right. - you know, it's so powerful,
00:13:59.481 --> 00:14:00.916
It touches god's heart so incredible.
00:14:00.916 --> 00:14:02.984
It's so perfect, so beautiful
00:14:02.984 --> 00:14:05.520
That even though you might not be in heaven yet,
00:14:05.520 --> 00:14:07.322
You're still gonna praise him no matter what.
00:14:07.322 --> 00:14:10.025
You're gonna show up and thank god and bless him
00:14:10.992 --> 00:14:13.962
And praise him no matter what obstacle you're facing,
00:14:13.962 --> 00:14:17.265
No matter what difficulties going on,
00:14:17.265 --> 00:14:18.767
When you praise him here, it blesses god so much.
00:14:18.767 --> 00:14:21.703
I know the praise in heaven blesses him,
00:14:21.703 --> 00:14:23.338
You know, when the elders cast their crowns
00:14:23.338 --> 00:14:26.174
Before the throne that blesses him.
00:14:26.174 --> 00:14:27.609
But being here on this earth
00:14:27.609 --> 00:14:30.178
For this just glimpse of eternity,
00:14:30.178 --> 00:14:32.347
This twinkling of an eye,
00:14:32.347 --> 00:14:34.182
Man it is so powerful when we praise god here.
00:14:34.182 --> 00:14:36.885
- yeah, it is.
00:14:36.885 --> 00:14:38.253
And so, you know, praise the bible,
00:14:38.253 --> 00:14:40.255
And you're gonna get into this in psalm chapter 8.
00:14:40.255 --> 00:14:43.158
But it says, praise stills the mouth of the enemy
00:14:43.158 --> 00:14:46.728
And the avenger out of the mouth of babes,
00:14:46.728 --> 00:14:49.331
You have ordained strength that you might still the mouth
00:14:49.331 --> 00:14:54.002
Of the enemy and the avenger, psalm 8:2.
00:14:54.002 --> 00:14:56.671
So, you know, the enemy will come
00:14:56.671 --> 00:14:58.840
And he'll try to get your eyes on the wrong things,
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:00.742
Just like he did with eve, right?
00:15:00.742 --> 00:15:02.811
In the garden.
00:15:02.811 --> 00:15:03.845
What'd he do to eve?
00:15:03.845 --> 00:15:04.980
He attacked her identity and he attacked,
00:15:04.980 --> 00:15:07.515
Really the word of god is what he was attacking
00:15:07.515 --> 00:15:11.319
Because he said, has not god said,
00:15:11.319 --> 00:15:13.955
And he first twisted the word of god,
00:15:13.955 --> 00:15:16.257
And then he outright contradicted the word of god,
00:15:16.257 --> 00:15:19.294
And he got hurt.
00:15:19.294 --> 00:15:20.929
He said don't you know that if you do this,
00:15:20.929 --> 00:15:23.431
You're gonna be like god.
00:15:23.431 --> 00:15:24.699
So she was already made in the image of god,
00:15:24.699 --> 00:15:27.769
But he tried to get her to thinking she was missing out.
00:15:27.769 --> 00:15:31.039
And this is what the enemy still does,
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.341
Is he tries to get people think that they're missing out
00:15:33.341 --> 00:15:37.012
And through the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye.
00:15:37.012 --> 00:15:39.180
And you mentioned this pride, the pride of life,
00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:42.717
That the original attack on adam and eve in the garden,
00:15:42.717 --> 00:15:47.088
In the temptation had to do with the lust of the eye,
00:15:47.088 --> 00:15:49.824
The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye,
00:15:49.824 --> 00:15:51.659
And the pride of life.
00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:53.061
Jesus was tempted in all points like we are.
00:15:53.061 --> 00:15:56.131
Matthew 4, luke chapter 4 had to do
00:15:56.131 --> 00:15:58.033
With the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye
00:15:58.033 --> 00:16:00.935
And the pride of life.
00:16:00.935 --> 00:16:02.504
Then in 1 john, john writes about all that is in the world
00:16:02.504 --> 00:16:07.809
Is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye
00:16:08.777 --> 00:16:09.611
And the pride of life.
00:16:09.611 --> 00:16:10.745
It's not if any man loves the world,
00:16:10.745 --> 00:16:14.549
It's not of the father, right?
00:16:14.549 --> 00:16:16.317
So we've gotta love god.
00:16:16.317 --> 00:16:17.852
But what satan's trying to do is get our eyes off
00:16:17.852 --> 00:16:20.655
Of what we have and what god's given us and being thankful
00:16:20.655 --> 00:16:25.460
And glorifying god and praising god and magnifying god.
00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:30.365
And when we do that
00:16:30.365 --> 00:16:31.666
And we begin to look at what we don't have,
00:16:31.666 --> 00:16:34.302
We're taking our eyes off of god.
00:16:34.302 --> 00:16:36.704
We're taking our eyes off of the word of god,
00:16:36.704 --> 00:16:39.674
We're taking our eyes off of jesus,
00:16:39.674 --> 00:16:41.876
The provision that god has made for us.
00:16:41.876 --> 00:16:44.479
And we get to looking at lack,
00:16:44.479 --> 00:16:46.314
And we open the door for the enemy to come
00:16:46.314 --> 00:16:49.617
And take what we've already been given by god.
00:16:49.617 --> 00:16:53.721
But when you praise god, glorify god,
00:16:53.721 --> 00:16:56.257
Magnify god for what he's already given you
00:16:56.257 --> 00:16:59.861
And what he's promised you in the scripture,
00:16:59.861 --> 00:17:02.430
What he's provided for you
00:17:02.430 --> 00:17:04.332
Through the death, burial and resurrection of christ,
00:17:04.332 --> 00:17:06.534
And the sending of the holy spirit,
00:17:06.534 --> 00:17:08.269
Then you are moving right into strength.
00:17:08.269 --> 00:17:12.006
You're moving into the victory that god already won
00:17:12.006 --> 00:17:16.044
For you in the person of jesus when he died and rose again.
00:17:16.044 --> 00:17:18.413
- yeah and that strength,
00:17:18.413 --> 00:17:19.647
It silences the enemy and the avenger,
00:17:19.647 --> 00:17:21.883
The way the enemy comes against people
00:17:21.883 --> 00:17:24.219
Is in their thought life, you know?
00:17:24.219 --> 00:17:26.054
- [lawson] absolutely. - and you can't outthink
00:17:26.054 --> 00:17:28.490
The devil, you can't try to change, you have to silence him.
00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:32.727
You don't silence him with your thoughts.
00:17:32.727 --> 00:17:35.597
- [lawson] no.
00:17:35.597 --> 00:17:36.698
- you silence him with your mouth.
00:17:36.698 --> 00:17:38.366
That's how jesus silenced the enemy.
00:17:38.366 --> 00:17:40.635
And notice jesus didn't,
00:17:40.635 --> 00:17:42.203
He didn't just come at jesus one time,
00:17:42.203 --> 00:17:44.506
He came multiple times.
00:17:44.506 --> 00:17:46.207
- [lawson] right.
00:17:46.207 --> 00:17:47.575
- you might have to open your mouth and praise god
00:17:47.575 --> 00:17:49.210
And bless god and thank god multiple times.
00:17:49.210 --> 00:17:52.547
So the enemy, you know, and you have to differentiate
00:17:52.547 --> 00:17:55.717
What's a thought from the enemy.
00:17:55.717 --> 00:17:57.619
- [lawson] right.
00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:58.553
- and what's a thought from god?
00:17:58.553 --> 00:17:59.787
- and how do we differentiate
00:17:59.787 --> 00:18:01.089
Between what's a thought from the devil
00:18:01.089 --> 00:18:02.824
And what's a thought from god?
00:18:02.824 --> 00:18:03.992
- well, the thoughts from the devil
00:18:03.992 --> 00:18:05.527
Are gonna lead to weakness, they're gonna lead to sickness,
00:18:05.527 --> 00:18:07.929
They're gonna lead to death.
00:18:07.929 --> 00:18:09.430
When you're verbalizing and complaining
00:18:09.430 --> 00:18:12.400
And focusing on lack, and i'm not enough and people hate me
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:17.105
And i, you know that is from the enemy.
00:18:17.105 --> 00:18:20.108
- right and we can tell by what...
00:18:20.108 --> 00:18:21.342
- when you're identifying with the curse.
00:18:21.342 --> 00:18:23.845
- yeah, identifying with the curse.
00:18:23.845 --> 00:18:25.413
So jesus said in john 10:10, he said,
00:18:25.413 --> 00:18:28.983
It's the thief that comes to steal, kill and destroy.
00:18:28.983 --> 00:18:32.187
But i've come to give you life and that life abundantly.
00:18:32.187 --> 00:18:35.190
But the way that we really differentiate
00:18:35.190 --> 00:18:38.059
Between a thought that's coming from the enemy,
00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:40.328
A lack thought, a fear thought, you know?
00:18:40.328 --> 00:18:44.265
- hate thought.
00:18:44.632 --> 00:18:45.800
- right, the way that we identify that
00:18:45.800 --> 00:18:47.835
Is by what the scripture says, by what the bible says.
00:18:47.835 --> 00:18:50.805
But the challenge is a lot of people really don't know
00:18:50.805 --> 00:18:53.107
What the word of god says,
00:18:53.107 --> 00:18:54.676
But when you find out what the word says,
00:18:54.676 --> 00:18:56.311
And then you begin to glorify god, begin to praise god,
00:18:56.311 --> 00:18:59.714
Begin to magnify god, you move from these thoughts
00:18:59.714 --> 00:19:02.750
Of lack and defeat, right?
00:19:02.750 --> 00:19:05.453
And fear and you move into thoughts of faith
00:19:05.453 --> 00:19:08.723
And victory and praise.
00:19:08.723 --> 00:19:11.326
- you know, people that i know, you know,
00:19:11.326 --> 00:19:13.328
I've been pastoring nine years now, i'm 38 years old.
00:19:13.328 --> 00:19:16.030
You've been pastoring a long time.
00:19:16.030 --> 00:19:17.298
But people who i know who are, you know,
00:19:17.298 --> 00:19:21.169
Gray headed, aged quite a bit, you know,
00:19:22.003 --> 00:19:23.438
We have people in their 80s, 90s here at church,
00:19:23.438 --> 00:19:25.640
People who are strong and healthy
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.077
And living with purpose and full of joy,
00:19:29.077 --> 00:19:31.946
They're all praised people.
00:19:31.946 --> 00:19:33.781
- right.
00:19:33.781 --> 00:19:35.116
- none of them are complainers and, you know,
00:19:35.116 --> 00:19:39.387
Or bitter or unforgiving or lack,
00:19:39.387 --> 00:19:43.024
Like and we have quite a few people at our church
00:19:43.024 --> 00:19:46.294
Who are in their 80s, even their 90s
00:19:46.294 --> 00:19:48.663
Believing to be 100 and more.
00:19:48.663 --> 00:19:50.665
- amen.
00:19:50.665 --> 00:19:52.367
- and full of joy, full of strength, full of life, you know?
00:19:52.367 --> 00:19:55.136
- amen.
00:19:55.136 --> 00:19:56.371
- i went to college in pittsburgh
00:19:56.371 --> 00:19:57.872
And there was a lady there who was one of my mentors.
00:19:57.872 --> 00:20:00.908
She helped drive me home after church.
00:20:00.908 --> 00:20:02.877
I had to take the bus to get to church.
00:20:02.877 --> 00:20:04.445
And she was one of the ladies that would drive me.
00:20:04.445 --> 00:20:06.214
She was over the pastoral care,
00:20:06.214 --> 00:20:09.250
She was on staff at the church.
00:20:09.250 --> 00:20:10.818
She's now in her 90s and is still working at the church,
00:20:10.818 --> 00:20:16.057
Doing pastoral care, you know, on staff in her 90s
00:20:17.091 --> 00:20:19.093
And she looks like she's 65.
00:20:19.093 --> 00:20:21.029
- that's amazing.
00:20:21.029 --> 00:20:21.863
- she looks incredible.
00:20:21.863 --> 00:20:23.898
And i know some of her life stories.
00:20:24.666 --> 00:20:26.134
She's had opportunity to...
00:20:26.134 --> 00:20:28.936
- be bitter?
00:20:29.270 --> 00:20:30.505
- to be bitter, to be offended, to...
00:20:30.505 --> 00:20:31.839
- be unforgiving.
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:32.674
- unforgiving.
00:20:32.674 --> 00:20:33.675
But she's passed those things up.
00:20:33.675 --> 00:20:35.943
- right.
00:20:35.943 --> 00:20:37.545
- she's didn't take the exit, she didn't take the, you know,
00:20:37.545 --> 00:20:39.113
She's on the praise highway.
00:20:39.113 --> 00:20:40.515
- she didn't take the bait.
00:20:40.515 --> 00:20:41.816
- [aaron] yeah.
00:20:41.816 --> 00:20:43.351
- now, thinking about that, i wanna share the scripture.
00:20:43.351 --> 00:20:44.752
Mom and i were just talking about this this morning,
00:20:44.752 --> 00:20:47.588
You know, when i was there,
00:20:47.588 --> 00:20:49.290
And i'm going over the word and some things.
00:20:49.290 --> 00:20:51.025
But in psalm 92, it says this in verse 12-15,
00:20:51.025 --> 00:20:56.364
Talking exactly about what you're talking about.
00:20:57.365 --> 00:20:59.300
Because i believe that we can live long
00:20:59.300 --> 00:21:01.402
And strong and healthy.
00:21:01.402 --> 00:21:03.471
I am not planning on checking out early,
00:21:03.471 --> 00:21:06.441
I'm planning on living a good life if jesus tarries,
00:21:06.441 --> 00:21:09.777
I'm planning on preaching the gospel till i'm 90 years old,
00:21:09.777 --> 00:21:12.847
My roles will change.
00:21:12.847 --> 00:21:14.782
I'm planning on living right to be beyond that
00:21:14.782 --> 00:21:17.852
And being strong and healthy.
00:21:17.852 --> 00:21:19.287
But it says this, psalm 92:12-15,
00:21:19.287 --> 00:21:22.423
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.
00:21:22.423 --> 00:21:25.493
He will grow like the cedar in lebanon.
00:21:25.493 --> 00:21:28.129
Those who be planted in the house of the lord
00:21:28.129 --> 00:21:31.065
Shall flourish in the courts of our god.
00:21:31.065 --> 00:21:34.736
Look at verse 14 closely.
00:21:34.736 --> 00:21:36.771
They will still bring forth fruit in their old age.
00:21:36.771 --> 00:21:40.942
They shall...
00:21:40.942 --> 00:21:41.909
You know, this is king james.
00:21:41.909 --> 00:21:43.211
They shall be fat and flourishing.
00:21:43.211 --> 00:21:46.547
Verse 15, to show that the lord is upright, he is my rock
00:21:46.547 --> 00:21:51.219
And there is no unrighteousness in him.
00:21:51.219 --> 00:21:53.621
Verse 14, in the modern english version,
00:21:53.621 --> 00:21:56.591
I love the modern english version for a modern translation.
00:21:56.591 --> 00:22:00.361
Queen elizabeth had it done,
00:22:00.361 --> 00:22:01.662
But it says this,
00:22:01.662 --> 00:22:03.931
They shall still bring forth fruit
00:22:04.699 --> 00:22:06.267
In their old age, they will be filled with vitality
00:22:06.267 --> 00:22:11.205
And flourishing.
00:22:11.205 --> 00:22:12.707
That's exactly what you're explaining about this woman
00:22:12.707 --> 00:22:16.778
That was in the church where you went when you went
00:22:16.778 --> 00:22:19.847
To pittsburgh, pennsylvania and attended college from what?
00:22:19.847 --> 00:22:23.918
2000.
00:22:23.918 --> 00:22:25.153
- 2005 to 2009.
00:22:25.153 --> 00:22:29.190
And so this is 20 years later.
00:22:27.121 --> 00:22:31.392
- yeah and a lot of people, you know,
00:22:31.392 --> 00:22:33.127
Actually one of the main costs here in the us
00:22:33.127 --> 00:22:38.499
Of the total gdp, the total economy,
00:22:39.267 --> 00:22:41.436
One of the main costs is medicine, medicinal health.
00:22:41.436 --> 00:22:46.140
And even i saw something about bill gates,
00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:48.443
One of the wealthiest people in the world.
00:22:48.443 --> 00:22:49.811
He deals with health issues and things,
00:22:49.811 --> 00:22:53.114
But he has like hospital on his own plane
00:22:53.114 --> 00:22:56.784
And he always has a full-time doctor
00:22:56.784 --> 00:22:59.020
On that plane. - oh my goodness.
00:22:59.020 --> 00:23:00.354
- so he can receive medical help anytime.
00:23:00.354 --> 00:23:03.257
And i'm just saying, man, this is how god ordains strength.
00:23:03.257 --> 00:23:07.161
- amen.
00:23:07.161 --> 00:23:08.429
- yeah, you don't have to spend millions
00:23:08.429 --> 00:23:09.797
And billions of dollars on just trying to survive.
00:23:09.797 --> 00:23:14.302
- and you know what?
00:23:14.302 --> 00:23:15.570
We don't have to with that kind of fear.
00:23:15.570 --> 00:23:17.738
God hasn't given us a spirit of fear,
00:23:17.738 --> 00:23:19.640
But a power and love and a sound mind,
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:21.742
He's given us a spirit of faith.
00:23:21.742 --> 00:23:23.578
And we can believe and speak the word of god.
00:23:23.578 --> 00:23:26.514
And i know there have been major health issues
00:23:26.514 --> 00:23:29.784
And critical times in our life,
00:23:29.784 --> 00:23:31.986
Even with your little brother andrew,
00:23:31.986 --> 00:23:34.188
And your mama spoke the word of god
00:23:34.188 --> 00:23:35.957
When it looked like he was gonna die,
00:23:35.957 --> 00:23:37.358
And he lived and god healed him.
00:23:37.358 --> 00:23:39.627
And you know what?
00:23:39.627 --> 00:23:40.795
We have seen the word of god work over
00:23:40.795 --> 00:23:43.030
And over and over again.
00:23:43.030 --> 00:23:45.366
And you know what?
00:23:45.366 --> 00:23:46.868
If you'll begin to praise god and thank god for jesus,
00:23:46.868 --> 00:23:49.136
And begin to look into the word of god
00:23:49.136 --> 00:23:52.373
Into what god has promised us, you can move from a position
00:23:52.373 --> 00:23:56.244
Of victory to a position or a position of defeat,
00:23:56.244 --> 00:24:00.414
To a position of victory by praising god.
00:24:00.414 --> 00:24:03.584
And there's power in our praise.
00:24:03.584 --> 00:24:04.986
- and i wanna share this verse too, from isaiah 54:17
00:24:04.986 --> 00:24:09.690
It says, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
00:24:09.690 --> 00:24:12.760
So a weapon that's formed against you,
00:24:12.760 --> 00:24:14.762
It's ultimately coming from the enemy,
00:24:14.762 --> 00:24:16.531
- [lawson] right.
00:24:16.531 --> 00:24:18.099
- and it might be coming, you know, through your thoughts,
00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:19.534
It might be coming through someone else
00:24:19.534 --> 00:24:21.569
Who's trying to tear you down,
00:24:21.569 --> 00:24:22.937
Trying to get you off track,
00:24:22.937 --> 00:24:24.138
Tryna question who you are and cry.
00:24:24.138 --> 00:24:27.675
It shall not prosper every tongue which rises
00:24:27.675 --> 00:24:30.077
Against you in judgment, you shall condemn.
00:24:30.077 --> 00:24:33.781
- [lawson] amen.
00:24:33.781 --> 00:24:35.316
- you have a say and the way you condemn is with your mouth.
00:24:35.316 --> 00:24:36.918
- [lawson] right.
00:24:36.918 --> 00:24:38.152
- with your praise, you shall condemn.
00:24:38.152 --> 00:24:39.987
So every time you come to church,
00:24:39.987 --> 00:24:41.556
Maybe or you're in your car and you're just praising god,
00:24:41.556 --> 00:24:43.724
Thanking him for your goodness, you're condemning the enemy.
00:24:43.724 --> 00:24:47.662
- [lawson] amen.
00:24:47.662 --> 00:24:48.963
- you're condemning his power, his influence.
00:24:48.963 --> 00:24:50.932
This is the heritage of the servants of the lord.
00:24:50.932 --> 00:24:53.534
Their righteousness is from me, says the lord.
00:24:53.534 --> 00:24:56.537
I love that we have a heritage.
00:24:56.537 --> 00:24:58.406
- amen.
00:24:58.406 --> 00:24:59.807
- we have things that have been handed down to us
00:24:59.807 --> 00:25:01.642
From jesus and it is his righteousness,
00:25:01.642 --> 00:25:04.111
It comes from the lord.
00:25:04.111 --> 00:25:05.646
- praise god, you know, we have a bible full of promises
00:25:05.646 --> 00:25:07.949
That we can believe, and we have great teachings on this
00:25:07.949 --> 00:25:12.153
And many other subjects, they're on our website,
00:25:12.153 --> 00:25:15.222
They're downloadable, they're free of charge.
00:25:15.222 --> 00:25:17.625
We've got hundreds of hours of teachings.
