00:00:14.375 --> 00:00:14.842
Pastor matt hagee: if you brought your bibles,
00:00:14.909 --> 00:00:15.543
Brought your bibles, turn them to psalms 34,
00:00:15.609 --> 00:00:17.978
Turn them to psalms 34, as this morning,
00:00:18.045 --> 00:00:18.579
As this morning, we conclude the sermon series
00:00:18.646 --> 00:00:20.815
We conclude the sermon series "what a way to live"
00:00:20.881 --> 00:00:22.583
"what a way to live" with this message,
00:00:22.650 --> 00:00:24.218
With this message, "the attitude of praise."
00:00:24.285 --> 00:00:27.488
"the attitude of praise." we've considered worship as
00:00:27.555 --> 00:00:29.356
We've considered worship as being the most important thing
00:00:29.423 --> 00:00:30.624
Being the most important thing in the relationship that man
00:00:30.691 --> 00:00:31.792
In the relationship that man has with god,
00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:32.760
Has with god, because jesus told us,
00:00:32.827 --> 00:00:33.794
Because jesus told us, in john 4,
00:00:33.861 --> 00:00:35.729
In john 4, that the father is seeking
00:00:35.796 --> 00:00:37.898
That the father is seeking individuals to worship him.
00:00:37.965 --> 00:00:39.567
Individuals to worship him. we considered the kind of
00:00:39.633 --> 00:00:40.601
We considered the kind of worship that we have to bring.
00:00:40.668 --> 00:00:42.403
Worship that we have to bring. that god is not mocked,
00:00:42.470 --> 00:00:43.804
That god is not mocked, with the same heart that you
00:00:43.871 --> 00:00:45.039
With the same heart that you give,
00:00:45.106 --> 00:00:45.773
Give, that's the same way you're
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:46.941
That's the same way you're going to receive.
00:00:47.007 --> 00:00:48.409
Going to receive. god knows when you're
00:00:48.476 --> 00:00:49.410
God knows when you're worshiping him in spirit
00:00:49.477 --> 00:00:50.478
Worshiping him in spirit and truth,
00:00:50.544 --> 00:00:50.978
And truth, and god knows when you're
00:00:51.045 --> 00:00:51.779
And god knows when you're just up and performing.
00:00:51.846 --> 00:00:53.981
Just up and performing. today we're going to look at
00:00:54.048 --> 00:00:55.416
Today we're going to look at praise as an attitude.
00:00:55.483 --> 00:00:57.318
Praise as an attitude. it is a mindset.
00:00:57.384 --> 00:00:59.320
It is a mindset. it's something that you can do
00:00:59.386 --> 00:01:01.555
It's something that you can do each and every day,
00:01:01.622 --> 00:01:02.756
Each and every day, and it's one of the most
00:01:02.823 --> 00:01:03.491
And it's one of the most powerful ways to live,
00:01:03.557 --> 00:01:04.892
Powerful ways to live, because the bible tells us,
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:06.227
Because the bible tells us, in psalms 22, that
00:01:06.293 --> 00:01:07.394
In psalms 22, that the lord is enthroned upon
00:01:07.461 --> 00:01:10.331
The lord is enthroned upon the praises of his people.
00:01:10.397 --> 00:01:12.766
The praises of his people. that means when you praise
00:01:12.833 --> 00:01:13.868
That means when you praise god,
00:01:13.934 --> 00:01:14.401
God, his presence literally invades
00:01:14.468 --> 00:01:16.403
His presence literally invades your life and changes
00:01:16.470 --> 00:01:17.738
Your life and changes the atmosphere that you're
00:01:17.805 --> 00:01:19.306
The atmosphere that you're breathing.
00:01:19.373 --> 00:01:20.407
Breathing. when god's presence shows up,
00:01:20.474 --> 00:01:22.443
When god's presence shows up, you begin to operate in what
00:01:22.510 --> 00:01:23.777
You begin to operate in what the bible calls
00:01:23.844 --> 00:01:24.645
The bible calls "the fullness of joy."
00:01:24.712 --> 00:01:27.515
"the fullness of joy." when his presence shows up,
00:01:27.581 --> 00:01:28.883
When his presence shows up, the brokenhearted are mended
00:01:28.949 --> 00:01:30.518
The brokenhearted are mended and restored.
00:01:30.584 --> 00:01:31.619
And restored. when his presence shows up,
00:01:31.685 --> 00:01:33.287
When his presence shows up, sighs of sorrow become shouts
00:01:33.354 --> 00:01:35.356
Sighs of sorrow become shouts of joy.
00:01:35.422 --> 00:01:36.056
Of joy. when his presence shows up,
00:01:36.123 --> 00:01:37.925
When his presence shows up, captives are set free,
00:01:37.992 --> 00:01:39.426
Captives are set free, because "whom the son sets
00:01:39.493 --> 00:01:40.828
Because "whom the son sets free is free indeed."
00:01:40.895 --> 00:01:42.429
Free is free indeed." sick are healed because he is
00:01:42.496 --> 00:01:44.532
Sick are healed because he is the great physician.
00:01:44.598 --> 00:01:46.200
The great physician. when his presence shows up,
00:01:46.267 --> 00:01:47.902
When his presence shows up, and his glory fills the house,
00:01:47.968 --> 00:01:49.904
And his glory fills the house, praise becomes the anthem of
00:01:49.970 --> 00:01:52.006
Praise becomes the anthem of those who have been redeemed
00:01:52.072 --> 00:01:53.440
Those who have been redeemed by grace divine,
00:01:53.507 --> 00:01:54.975
By grace divine, and the song of victory
00:01:55.042 --> 00:01:56.377
And the song of victory that we sing,
00:01:56.443 --> 00:01:57.178
That we sing, because we are more than
00:01:57.244 --> 00:01:58.379
Because we are more than conquerors through christ.
00:01:58.445 --> 00:02:00.848
Conquerors through christ. praise is the ballad
00:02:00.915 --> 00:02:02.283
Praise is the ballad that the bride of christ sings
00:02:02.349 --> 00:02:03.884
That the bride of christ sings to him,
00:02:03.951 --> 00:02:04.585
To him, because he has redeemed us,
00:02:04.652 --> 00:02:06.020
Because he has redeemed us, and he has washed us
00:02:06.086 --> 00:02:07.154
And he has washed us in his blood,
00:02:07.221 --> 00:02:08.255
In his blood, and he has made us heirs
00:02:08.322 --> 00:02:10.157
And he has made us heirs and joint heirs
00:02:10.224 --> 00:02:10.991
And joint heirs with jesus christ.
00:02:11.058 --> 00:02:12.927
With jesus christ. praise, on a daily basis,
00:02:12.993 --> 00:02:14.795
Praise, on a daily basis, should be the echo of your
00:02:14.862 --> 00:02:16.197
Should be the echo of your heart that fills the chambers
00:02:16.263 --> 00:02:18.065
Heart that fills the chambers of heaven with the glory
00:02:18.132 --> 00:02:19.700
Of heaven with the glory that only god deserves.
00:02:19.767 --> 00:02:21.335
That only god deserves. and it should haunt the halls
00:02:21.402 --> 00:02:22.836
And it should haunt the halls of hell and remind them
00:02:22.903 --> 00:02:24.471
Of hell and remind them that they have been defeated by
00:02:24.538 --> 00:02:26.173
That they have been defeated by the name that is above
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.374
The name that is above every name,
00:02:27.441 --> 00:02:28.075
Every name, and that matchless name
00:02:28.142 --> 00:02:29.410
And that matchless name belongs to jesus christ.
00:02:29.476 --> 00:02:31.879
Belongs to jesus christ. (applause)
00:02:31.946 --> 00:02:35.716
(applause) praise is an attitude.
00:02:35.783 --> 00:02:38.419
Praise is an attitude. and it is truly the only way
00:02:38.485 --> 00:02:39.987
And it is truly the only way for a child of god to live.
00:02:40.054 --> 00:02:42.456
For a child of god to live. read with me psalms 34.
00:02:42.523 --> 00:02:44.491
Read with me psalms 34. if you're there,
00:02:44.558 --> 00:02:45.025
If you're there, say, amen.
00:02:45.092 --> 00:02:46.093
Say, amen. [amen!]
00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:47.194
[amen!] "i will bless the lord
00:02:47.261 --> 00:02:48.996
"i will bless the lord at all times.
00:02:49.063 --> 00:02:50.297
At all times. his praise shall continually
00:02:50.364 --> 00:02:53.100
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
00:02:53.167 --> 00:02:54.635
Be in my mouth. my soul shall make its boast
00:02:54.702 --> 00:02:57.238
My soul shall make its boast in the lord.
00:02:57.304 --> 00:02:58.472
In the lord. the humble shall hear of it,
00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:00.140
The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
00:03:00.207 --> 00:03:01.275
And be glad. o magnify the lord with me.
00:03:01.342 --> 00:03:04.111
O magnify the lord with me. and let us exalt his name
00:03:04.178 --> 00:03:06.647
And let us exalt his name together."
00:03:06.714 --> 00:03:07.781
Together." heavenly father,
00:03:07.848 --> 00:03:09.350
Heavenly father, today we invite your presence

Today we invite your presence into this sanctuary;

Into this sanctuary; that as we exalt

That as we exalt your mighty name,
00:03:14.021 --> 00:03:15.723
Your mighty name, our lives will be forever
00:03:15.789 --> 00:03:17.625
Our lives will be forever changed because of who you
00:03:17.691 --> 00:03:19.526
Changed because of who you are and what you have done.
00:03:19.593 --> 00:03:22.329
Are and what you have done. for these things,
00:03:22.396 --> 00:03:23.030
For these things, we give you praise and honor

We give you praise and honor and glory.
00:03:24.698 --> 00:03:25.966
And glory. and all of god's children

And all of god's children said, amen.
00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:27.835
Said, amen. [amen!]

[amen!] you may be seated.
00:03:28.435 --> 00:03:31.272
You may be seated. psalms 34 begins with one of
00:03:31.338 --> 00:03:33.374
Psalms 34 begins with one of the most important words
00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:34.975
The most important words that's involved in the act
00:03:35.042 --> 00:03:36.377
That's involved in the act of praise,
00:03:36.443 --> 00:03:37.378
Of praise, and that word is "i."
00:03:37.444 --> 00:03:39.947
And that word is "i." why?
00:03:40.014 --> 00:03:41.215
Why? because praise is personal.
00:03:41.282 --> 00:03:43.784
Because praise is personal. say that with me.
00:03:43.851 --> 00:03:44.818
Say that with me. "praise is personal."
00:03:44.885 --> 00:03:46.887
"praise is personal." david gets to the root-level
00:03:46.954 --> 00:03:48.756
David gets to the root-level matter in a moment,
00:03:48.822 --> 00:03:50.457
Matter in a moment, when he says,
00:03:50.524 --> 00:03:51.058
When he says, "i will bless the lord
00:03:51.125 --> 00:03:53.727
"i will bless the lord at all times."
00:03:53.794 --> 00:03:55.496
At all times." one of the most important
00:03:55.562 --> 00:03:56.497
One of the most important things that you need
00:03:56.563 --> 00:03:57.264
Things that you need to understand is that you have
00:03:57.331 --> 00:03:59.600
To understand is that you have to make the conscious decision
00:03:59.667 --> 00:04:01.635
To make the conscious decision to praise god.
00:04:01.702 --> 00:04:03.704
To praise god. it's not something that's just
00:04:03.771 --> 00:04:04.738
It's not something that's just going to overwhelm you,
00:04:04.805 --> 00:04:06.206
Going to overwhelm you, and you can't help it,
00:04:06.273 --> 00:04:07.241
And you can't help it, it flows out of you.
00:04:07.308 --> 00:04:08.275
It flows out of you. no, you have to make up
00:04:08.342 --> 00:04:09.677
No, you have to make up your mind that god is worthy
00:04:09.743 --> 00:04:11.745
Your mind that god is worthy to be praised.
00:04:11.812 --> 00:04:13.314
To be praised. [amen.]
00:04:13.380 --> 00:04:13.981
[amen.] hebrews 10:25 says,
00:04:14.048 --> 00:04:15.816
Hebrews 10:25 says, "forsake not the assembling
00:04:15.883 --> 00:04:16.950
"forsake not the assembling of yourselves together."
00:04:17.017 --> 00:04:18.252
Of yourselves together." hebrews --
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:19.153
Hebrews -- or psalms 34:3 says,
00:04:19.219 --> 00:04:20.721
Or psalms 34:3 says, "let us exalt his name
00:04:20.788 --> 00:04:22.556
"let us exalt his name together."
00:04:22.623 --> 00:04:23.190
Together." there is an appropriate time
00:04:23.257 --> 00:04:24.825
There is an appropriate time and place to corporately
00:04:24.892 --> 00:04:26.360
And place to corporately worship god.
00:04:26.427 --> 00:04:27.361
Worship god. but the only way that
00:04:27.428 --> 00:04:28.295
But the only way that corporate worship works is
00:04:28.362 --> 00:04:30.264
Corporate worship works is when you choose to worship
00:04:30.331 --> 00:04:31.732
When you choose to worship god,
00:04:31.799 --> 00:04:32.232
God, and i choose to worship god,
00:04:32.299 --> 00:04:34.168
And i choose to worship god, and we do it together.
00:04:34.234 --> 00:04:36.070
And we do it together. [right.]
00:04:36.136 --> 00:04:36.737
[right.] because my praise does nothing
00:04:36.804 --> 00:04:38.572
Because my praise does nothing to liberate you,
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:39.673
To liberate you, and your praise does nothing
00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:41.308
And your praise does nothing to liberate me.
00:04:41.375 --> 00:04:42.443
To liberate me. but when i offer my heart,
00:04:42.509 --> 00:04:44.111
But when i offer my heart, and you offer your heart,
00:04:44.178 --> 00:04:45.646
And you offer your heart, that's when the lord is
00:04:45.713 --> 00:04:46.747
That's when the lord is enthroned upon the praises
00:04:46.814 --> 00:04:48.549
Enthroned upon the praises of his people.
00:04:48.615 --> 00:04:49.717
Of his people. [amen.]
00:04:49.783 --> 00:04:50.784
[amen.] praise is personal.
00:04:50.851 --> 00:04:52.853
Praise is personal. and praise is a sign of
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.089
And praise is a sign of maturity.
00:04:55.155 --> 00:04:57.391
Maturity. praise is evidence that you
00:04:57.458 --> 00:04:58.992
Praise is evidence that you realize where your blessings
00:04:59.059 --> 00:05:00.761
Realize where your blessings come from.
00:05:00.828 --> 00:05:03.530
Come from. i don't know that any of us
00:05:03.597 --> 00:05:04.798
I don't know that any of us would expect a hearty
00:05:04.865 --> 00:05:06.467
Would expect a hearty "thank you"
00:05:06.533 --> 00:05:07.000
"thank you" from a three-month-old child
00:05:07.067 --> 00:05:08.335
From a three-month-old child for fixing breakfast.
00:05:08.402 --> 00:05:10.804
For fixing breakfast. "gee, mom, that was great."
00:05:10.871 --> 00:05:13.474
"gee, mom, that was great." (laughter)
00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:14.708
(laughter) no!
00:05:14.775 --> 00:05:16.510
No! because when they're
00:05:16.577 --> 00:05:17.111
Because when they're 90-days-old,
00:05:17.177 --> 00:05:18.245
90-days-old, we don't expect them to show
00:05:18.312 --> 00:05:19.747
We don't expect them to show us the gratitude that we
00:05:19.813 --> 00:05:21.982
Us the gratitude that we deserve;
00:05:22.049 --> 00:05:23.016
Deserve; they're not mature enough.
00:05:23.083 --> 00:05:24.585
They're not mature enough. they don't understand that
00:05:24.651 --> 00:05:25.552
They don't understand that you're the provider.
00:05:25.619 --> 00:05:26.420
You're the provider. they don't understand that
00:05:26.487 --> 00:05:27.321
They don't understand that you're the protector.
00:05:27.388 --> 00:05:28.222
You're the protector. they don't understand that
00:05:28.288 --> 00:05:29.456
They don't understand that everything they have was given
00:05:29.523 --> 00:05:30.657
Everything they have was given to them by their parents.
00:05:30.724 --> 00:05:32.126
To them by their parents. and they don't have
00:05:32.192 --> 00:05:33.127
And they don't have the expectation of gratitude
00:05:33.193 --> 00:05:34.795
The expectation of gratitude and thanks,
00:05:34.862 --> 00:05:35.429
And thanks, because they're too immature.
00:05:35.496 --> 00:05:37.998
Because they're too immature. there are a lot of god's kids
00:05:38.065 --> 00:05:40.300
There are a lot of god's kids that are the same way.
00:05:40.367 --> 00:05:42.636
That are the same way. not giving god praise proves
00:05:42.703 --> 00:05:44.471
Not giving god praise proves that you don't know where
00:05:44.538 --> 00:05:45.472
That you don't know where the good things in your life
00:05:45.539 --> 00:05:46.673
The good things in your life come from.
00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:48.409
Come from. the problem is,
00:05:48.475 --> 00:05:49.243
The problem is, is that many of those children
00:05:49.309 --> 00:05:50.477
Is that many of those children in god's house have been at it
00:05:50.544 --> 00:05:51.845
In god's house have been at it longer than three months.
00:05:51.912 --> 00:05:53.947
Longer than three months. some of them have been here
00:05:54.014 --> 00:05:54.882
Some of them have been here for a lifetime,
00:05:54.948 --> 00:05:56.016
For a lifetime, and still can't realize that
00:05:56.083 --> 00:05:57.518
And still can't realize that it's god that has given you
00:05:57.584 --> 00:05:59.086
It's god that has given you every good and every perfect
00:05:59.153 --> 00:06:00.754
Every good and every perfect gift.
00:06:00.821 --> 00:06:01.855
Gift. [amen!]
00:06:01.922 --> 00:06:03.090
[amen!] (applause)
00:06:03.157 --> 00:06:10.431
(applause) i read a story in a medical
00:06:10.497 --> 00:06:12.032
I read a story in a medical journal that was talking about
00:06:12.099 --> 00:06:13.467
Journal that was talking about caretakers and individuals
00:06:13.534 --> 00:06:15.269
Caretakers and individuals who devote themselves to taking
00:06:15.335 --> 00:06:16.937
Who devote themselves to taking care of the invalid.
00:06:17.004 --> 00:06:19.072
Care of the invalid. and in this particular
00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:20.107
And in this particular article,
00:06:20.174 --> 00:06:20.941
Article, they featured a mother who had
00:06:21.008 --> 00:06:22.476
They featured a mother who had given every day of her
00:06:22.543 --> 00:06:24.311
Given every day of her motherhood to an invalid son,
00:06:24.378 --> 00:06:26.580
Motherhood to an invalid son, who had severe disabilities.
00:06:26.647 --> 00:06:28.982
Who had severe disabilities. he was so severely disabled
00:06:29.049 --> 00:06:30.584
He was so severely disabled that he had no cognitive
00:06:30.651 --> 00:06:31.919
That he had no cognitive ability to recognize
00:06:31.985 --> 00:06:33.220
Ability to recognize one person from the other.
00:06:33.287 --> 00:06:34.755
One person from the other. he was blind.
00:06:34.822 --> 00:06:36.623
He was blind. he was hard of hearing.
00:06:36.690 --> 00:06:39.593
He was hard of hearing. he had no conscious way
00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:41.395
He had no conscious way to communicate.
00:06:41.462 --> 00:06:43.063
To communicate. medically,
00:06:43.130 --> 00:06:43.797
Medically, when they got done listing
00:06:43.864 --> 00:06:44.765
When they got done listing all of his symptoms,
00:06:44.832 --> 00:06:46.033
All of his symptoms, in essence,
00:06:46.099 --> 00:06:46.667
In essence, he was just a heartbeat
00:06:46.733 --> 00:06:48.168
He was just a heartbeat inside of a body.
00:06:48.235 --> 00:06:50.604
Inside of a body. and every day, for 15 years,
00:06:50.671 --> 00:06:52.306
And every day, for 15 years, his mother fed him,
00:06:52.372 --> 00:06:53.540
His mother fed him, his mother clothed him,
00:06:53.607 --> 00:06:55.175
His mother clothed him, his mother spoke to him,
00:06:55.242 --> 00:06:56.610
His mother spoke to him, his mother took care of him,
00:06:56.677 --> 00:06:58.212
His mother took care of him, his mother loved him.
00:06:58.278 --> 00:07:00.013
His mother loved him. and the interviewer was asking
00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:01.615
And the interviewer was asking her,
00:07:01.682 --> 00:07:02.382
Her, "what was it like to live
00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:03.617
"what was it like to live a life giving yourself to
00:07:03.684 --> 00:07:05.385
A life giving yourself to someone so sacrificially?"
00:07:05.452 --> 00:07:07.788
Someone so sacrificially?" what she had to say was both
00:07:07.855 --> 00:07:09.756
What she had to say was both heroic and sorrowful
00:07:09.823 --> 00:07:11.825
Heroic and sorrowful at the same time.
00:07:11.892 --> 00:07:13.594
At the same time. she said, "i am his mother.
00:07:13.660 --> 00:07:15.295
She said, "i am his mother. god gave him to me.
00:07:15.362 --> 00:07:17.898
God gave him to me. and it is my honor to live
00:07:17.965 --> 00:07:19.166
And it is my honor to live my life for my child."
00:07:19.233 --> 00:07:21.902
My life for my child." but then the sorrowful part
00:07:21.969 --> 00:07:23.070
But then the sorrowful part was when she said,
00:07:23.136 --> 00:07:24.505
Was when she said, "the only thing that i would
00:07:24.571 --> 00:07:26.139
"the only thing that i would wish to be different
00:07:26.206 --> 00:07:28.976
Wish to be different is that just once,
00:07:29.042 --> 00:07:31.612
Is that just once, i want him to realize that
00:07:31.678 --> 00:07:33.614
I want him to realize that i'm mama."
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.984
I'm mama." you see,
00:07:37.050 --> 00:07:37.484
You see, he doesn't have the ability
00:07:37.551 --> 00:07:38.452
He doesn't have the ability to understand the difference
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.087
To understand the difference between you and me.
00:07:40.153 --> 00:07:41.655
Between you and me. i don't mean any more to him
00:07:41.722 --> 00:07:43.457
I don't mean any more to him than the next person.
00:07:43.524 --> 00:07:44.725
Than the next person. but just once,
00:07:44.791 --> 00:07:45.692
But just once, i want him to know that it was
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.027
I want him to know that it was his mother that took care of
00:07:47.094 --> 00:07:48.695
His mother that took care of him.
00:07:48.762 --> 00:07:49.096
Him. just once,
00:07:49.162 --> 00:07:49.663
Just once, i want him to know that it was
00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:50.864
I want him to know that it was his mother that watched over
00:07:50.931 --> 00:07:52.332
His mother that watched over him.
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:52.833
Him. just once,
00:07:52.900 --> 00:07:53.400
Just once, i want him to know that it was
00:07:53.467 --> 00:07:54.668
I want him to know that it was me that was right beside him
00:07:54.735 --> 00:07:57.137
Me that was right beside him all along."
00:07:57.204 --> 00:07:58.906
All along." and when i read those words,
00:07:58.972 --> 00:07:59.873
And when i read those words, i thought to myself;
00:07:59.940 --> 00:08:00.974
I thought to myself; this is just like some people
00:08:01.041 --> 00:08:03.043
This is just like some people who don't realize that it is
00:08:03.110 --> 00:08:04.745
Who don't realize that it is god.
00:08:04.811 --> 00:08:06.046
God. it is god who takes care of
00:08:06.113 --> 00:08:07.814
It is god who takes care of you.
00:08:07.881 --> 00:08:08.315
You. it has been god that protects
00:08:08.382 --> 00:08:10.117
It has been god that protects you.
00:08:10.183 --> 00:08:10.617
You. it is god that provides
00:08:10.684 --> 00:08:12.052
It is god that provides for you.
00:08:12.119 --> 00:08:12.920
For you. it is god that heals you.
00:08:12.986 --> 00:08:14.454
It is god that heals you. it's god that got you out of
00:08:14.521 --> 00:08:16.156
It's god that got you out of bed this morning.
00:08:16.223 --> 00:08:17.391
Bed this morning. it's god that hung the sun,
00:08:17.457 --> 00:08:19.159
It's god that hung the sun, the moon and the stars
00:08:19.226 --> 00:08:20.193
The moon and the stars in the heavens.
00:08:20.260 --> 00:08:21.028
In the heavens. it's god that created
00:08:21.094 --> 00:08:22.462
It's god that created the ground that you walk on.
00:08:22.529 --> 00:08:24.231
The ground that you walk on. it's god that gave you
00:08:24.298 --> 00:08:25.566
It's god that gave you the very breath that you
00:08:25.632 --> 00:08:26.667
The very breath that you breathe.
00:08:26.733 --> 00:08:27.267
Breathe. every moment that you live.
00:08:27.334 --> 00:08:28.735
Every moment that you live. every move that you make,
00:08:28.802 --> 00:08:30.170
Every move that you make, every day that you exist,
00:08:30.237 --> 00:08:32.139
Every day that you exist, it is god's goodness,
00:08:32.205 --> 00:08:33.373
It is god's goodness, it is god's grace,
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:34.641
It is god's grace, it is god's mercy on display,
00:08:34.708 --> 00:08:37.144
It is god's mercy on display, it is time that we realized
00:08:37.210 --> 00:08:39.079
It is time that we realized where the good in our life
00:08:39.146 --> 00:08:40.380
Where the good in our life comes from,
00:08:40.447 --> 00:08:41.214
Comes from, and we give that great god
00:08:41.281 --> 00:08:43.016
And we give that great god a shout of praise!
00:08:43.083 --> 00:08:45.752
A shout of praise! (applause)
00:08:45.819 --> 00:08:52.426
(applause) right now,
00:08:52.492 --> 00:08:53.160
Right now, you get to make up your mind,
00:08:53.226 --> 00:08:56.063
You get to make up your mind, because praise is personal.
00:08:56.129 --> 00:08:58.599
Because praise is personal. but praise is not only
00:08:58.665 --> 00:08:59.499
But praise is not only personal,
00:08:59.566 --> 00:09:00.100
Personal, praise is also powerful.
00:09:00.167 --> 00:09:03.070
Praise is also powerful. it changes things.
00:09:03.136 --> 00:09:05.806
It changes things. praise changes
00:09:05.872 --> 00:09:07.574
Praise changes not your circumstance,
00:09:07.641 --> 00:09:09.076
Not your circumstance, but your perspective.
00:09:09.142 --> 00:09:11.044
But your perspective. [amen.]
00:09:11.111 --> 00:09:11.979
[amen.] praise enables you to realize
00:09:12.045 --> 00:09:14.615
Praise enables you to realize that you can do all things
00:09:14.681 --> 00:09:16.850
That you can do all things through christ,
00:09:16.917 --> 00:09:17.851
Through christ, who gives you strength.
00:09:17.918 --> 00:09:19.753
Who gives you strength. (applause)
00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:20.387
(applause) praise is something that,
00:09:20.454 --> 00:09:21.188
Praise is something that, when you begin to do it,
00:09:21.254 --> 00:09:22.222
When you begin to do it, you experience what the bible
00:09:22.289 --> 00:09:23.890
You experience what the bible calls "the joy of the lord,"
00:09:23.957 --> 00:09:25.759
Calls "the joy of the lord," and "the joy of the lord makes
00:09:25.826 --> 00:09:27.561
And "the joy of the lord makes rich and adds no sorrow."
00:09:27.628 --> 00:09:29.396
Rich and adds no sorrow." praise is how you realize that
00:09:29.463 --> 00:09:30.831
Praise is how you realize that my god shall supply all of
00:09:30.897 --> 00:09:32.966
My god shall supply all of my needs,
00:09:33.033 --> 00:09:33.767
My needs, according to his riches
00:09:33.834 --> 00:09:34.735
According to his riches in glory.
00:09:34.801 --> 00:09:35.636
In glory. what david says in psalms 34
00:09:35.702 --> 00:09:37.537
What david says in psalms 34 is,
00:09:37.604 --> 00:09:37.971
Is, "many are the afflictions
00:09:38.038 --> 00:09:39.239
"many are the afflictions of the righteous,
00:09:39.306 --> 00:09:40.374
Of the righteous, but the lord delivers them out
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.576
But the lord delivers them out of them all."
00:09:42.643 --> 00:09:43.744
Of them all." he said,
00:09:43.810 --> 00:09:44.211
He said, "surely, goodness and mercy
00:09:44.277 --> 00:09:45.545
"surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me
00:09:45.612 --> 00:09:46.446
Shall follow me all the days of my life;
00:09:46.513 --> 00:09:48.081
All the days of my life; and i shall dwell in the house
00:09:48.148 --> 00:09:49.650
And i shall dwell in the house of the lord forever."
00:09:49.716 --> 00:09:50.851
Of the lord forever." child of god,
00:09:50.917 --> 00:09:51.918
Child of god, praise is powerful enough
00:09:51.985 --> 00:09:53.954
Praise is powerful enough to change your life!
00:09:54.021 --> 00:09:56.523
To change your life! (applause)
00:09:56.590 --> 00:10:01.361
(applause) look at what praise did
00:10:01.428 --> 00:10:02.663
Look at what praise did in the bible.
00:10:02.729 --> 00:10:04.297
In the bible. how did the walls of jericho
00:10:04.364 --> 00:10:05.532
How did the walls of jericho come down?
00:10:05.599 --> 00:10:06.266
Come down? with a shout of praise.
00:10:06.333 --> 00:10:08.468
With a shout of praise. there was no brilliant
00:10:08.535 --> 00:10:09.536
There was no brilliant military strategy.
00:10:09.603 --> 00:10:10.971
Military strategy. there was just an obedient
00:10:11.038 --> 00:10:12.305
There was just an obedient army of children of god
00:10:12.372 --> 00:10:14.241
Army of children of god who were willing to lift
00:10:14.307 --> 00:10:15.108
Who were willing to lift their voice in a shout
00:10:15.175 --> 00:10:16.309
Their voice in a shout of triumph to the god
00:10:16.376 --> 00:10:17.511
Of triumph to the god who can do all things.
00:10:17.577 --> 00:10:19.713
Who can do all things. for seven days,
00:10:19.780 --> 00:10:20.747
For seven days, they walked around that
00:10:20.814 --> 00:10:21.715
They walked around that problem in frustrated silence.
00:10:21.782 --> 00:10:23.950
Problem in frustrated silence. but the moment that god
00:10:24.017 --> 00:10:25.218
But the moment that god anointed that shout of praise,

Well, i don't have to if i don't want to.
00:15:14.774 --> 00:15:16.309
If i don't want to. (laughter)
00:15:16.376 --> 00:15:18.411
(laughter) what you don't understand
00:15:18.478 --> 00:15:19.479
What you don't understand is that god in his grace
00:15:19.546 --> 00:15:21.047
Is that god in his grace has given us volition.
00:15:21.114 --> 00:15:23.850
Has given us volition. and volition is a big fancy
00:15:23.917 --> 00:15:25.618
And volition is a big fancy word meaning
00:15:25.685 --> 00:15:26.753
Word meaning the power to choose.
00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:30.156
The power to choose. now, there are people in power
00:15:30.223 --> 00:15:31.391
Now, there are people in power today that want to take away
00:15:31.458 --> 00:15:32.926
Today that want to take away your volition.
00:15:32.993 --> 00:15:34.794
Your volition. that's a different sermon
00:15:34.861 --> 00:15:35.628
That's a different sermon on a different sunday,
00:15:35.695 --> 00:15:36.730
On a different sunday, but just --
00:15:36.796 --> 00:15:37.797
But just -- (laughter)
00:15:37.864 --> 00:15:39.432
(laughter) -- know i can get anointed
00:15:39.499 --> 00:15:40.333
-- know i can get anointed about it all by myself.
00:15:40.400 --> 00:15:42.769
About it all by myself. (laughter & applause)
00:15:42.836 --> 00:15:46.239
(laughter & applause) but even god gives you
00:15:46.306 --> 00:15:47.374
But even god gives you the power to choose.
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:48.475
The power to choose. "choose you this day
00:15:48.541 --> 00:15:49.642
"choose you this day whom you will serve."
00:15:49.709 --> 00:15:50.977

Come to me. but the issue of praise
00:15:54.514 --> 00:15:55.915
But the issue of praise is settled in heaven.
00:15:55.982 --> 00:15:58.451
Is settled in heaven. philippians says that
00:15:58.518 --> 00:15:59.686
Philippians says that god has highly exalted him,
00:15:59.753 --> 00:16:01.955
God has highly exalted him, and given him the name
00:16:02.022 --> 00:16:03.690
And given him the name that is above every name;
00:16:03.757 --> 00:16:04.858
That is above every name; that at the name of jesus,
00:16:04.924 --> 00:16:06.559
That at the name of jesus, all of those in heavenly
00:16:06.626 --> 00:16:07.761

All of those in earthly places should bow;
00:16:13.066 --> 00:16:13.833
Should bow; and at the name of jesus,
00:16:13.900 --> 00:16:15.268
And at the name of jesus, all those who are under
00:16:15.335 --> 00:16:16.669
All those who are under the earth should bow
00:16:16.736 --> 00:16:18.171
The earth should bow and glorify him,
00:16:18.238 --> 00:16:19.439
And glorify him, because jesus christ is lord
00:16:19.506 --> 00:16:21.541
Because jesus christ is lord to the glory of god
00:16:21.608 --> 00:16:22.776

00:16:29.349 --> 00:16:30.750
If you take your power of choice and choose not to
00:16:30.817 --> 00:16:32.952
Of choice and choose not to praise him,
00:16:33.019 --> 00:16:33.653
Praise him, you're not taking glory
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.055
You're not taking glory from god;
00:16:35.121 --> 00:16:35.755
From god; he's still glorious.
00:16:35.822 --> 00:16:37.057
He's still glorious. you're not taking power

From god, but you are depriving yourself
00:16:42.228 --> 00:16:43.897

The bible says it clearly. "let everything that has breath
00:16:52.005 --> 00:16:54.941

00:20:33.026 --> 00:20:34.260
The physical part of you; it comes from your soul.
00:20:34.327 --> 00:20:37.830
It comes from your soul. god will only accept worship
00:20:37.897 --> 00:20:39.632
God will only accept worship from your soul,
00:20:39.699 --> 00:20:40.500
From your soul, that spirit and truth
00:20:40.566 --> 00:20:42.068
That spirit and truth that jesus was talking about
00:20:42.135 --> 00:20:43.202
That jesus was talking about in john 4.
00:20:43.269 --> 00:20:45.305
In john 4. and when you read the bible,
00:20:45.371 --> 00:20:46.606
And when you read the bible, in the psalms it says,
00:20:46.673 --> 00:20:47.974
In the psalms it says, "the dead do not praise
00:20:48.041 --> 00:20:49.642
"the dead do not praise the lord."
00:20:49.709 --> 00:20:51.611
The lord." now, it's not talking about
00:20:51.678 --> 00:20:52.412
Now, it's not talking about the physically dead.
00:20:52.478 --> 00:20:53.546
The physically dead. it's talking about
00:20:53.613 --> 00:20:54.314
It's talking about the spiritually dead.
00:20:54.380 --> 00:20:57.550
The spiritually dead. when you don't offer god
00:20:57.617 --> 00:20:58.618
When you don't offer god praise from your soul,
00:20:58.685 --> 00:21:00.186
Praise from your soul, it means that you are
00:21:00.253 --> 00:21:01.321
It means that you are spiritually flatlined.
00:21:01.387 --> 00:21:03.356
Spiritually flatlined. [that's right.]
00:21:03.423 --> 00:21:05.058
[that's right.] do you want to show the world,
00:21:05.124 --> 00:21:06.359
Do you want to show the world, the flesh and the devil that
00:21:06.426 --> 00:21:07.293
The flesh and the devil that everything that they've tried
00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:08.394
Everything that they've tried to do to destroy you
00:21:08.461 --> 00:21:09.696
To do to destroy you didn't work?
00:21:09.762 --> 00:21:11.464
Didn't work? don't just keep existing.
00:21:11.531 --> 00:21:14.901
Don't just keep existing. you know, there's that show,
00:21:14.967 --> 00:21:15.802
You know, there's that show, the walking dead.
00:21:15.868 --> 00:21:17.970
The walking dead. (laughter)
00:21:18.037 --> 00:21:18.971
(laughter) and that describes a lot of
00:21:19.038 --> 00:21:19.872
And that describes a lot of people who come in and out of
00:21:19.939 --> 00:21:20.807
People who come in and out of church every week.
00:21:20.873 --> 00:21:22.542
Church every week. (laughter)
00:21:22.608 --> 00:21:23.643
(laughter) you're physically alive,
00:21:23.710 --> 00:21:24.844
You're physically alive, but you're spiritually dead.
00:21:24.911 --> 00:21:27.580
But you're spiritually dead. why?
00:21:27.647 --> 00:21:28.081
Why? because the bitterness
00:21:28.147 --> 00:21:28.748
Because the bitterness of your past has stolen
00:21:28.815 --> 00:21:30.049
Of your past has stolen your song of praise.
00:21:30.116 --> 00:21:31.451
Your song of praise. your problems today are
00:21:31.517 --> 00:21:32.785
Your problems today are greater than you can tolerate.
00:21:32.852 --> 00:21:34.387
Greater than you can tolerate. the world that you're facing
00:21:34.454 --> 00:21:35.355
The world that you're facing tomorrow has got you so filled
00:21:35.421 --> 00:21:37.023
Tomorrow has got you so filled of fear that you can't open
00:21:37.090 --> 00:21:38.391
Of fear that you can't open your mouth and give god
00:21:38.458 --> 00:21:39.592
Your mouth and give god the glory that he's worthy of.
00:21:39.659 --> 00:21:40.793
The glory that he's worthy of. what i'm telling you is if you
00:21:40.860 --> 00:21:42.228
What i'm telling you is if you want to show all of heaven
00:21:42.295 --> 00:21:43.896

Alive, lift your hands and raise

Together. let it be your battle cry
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:54.407
Let it be your battle cry to announce to the devil,
00:21:54.474 --> 00:21:55.708
To announce to the devil, "i cannot be defeated,
00:21:55.775 --> 00:21:57.543
"i cannot be defeated, and i will not quit.
00:21:57.610 --> 00:21:59.145
And i will not quit. you've tried to steal my joy,

You've tried to steal my joy, but i'm still praising
00:22:01.047 --> 00:22:02.081
But i'm still praising the lord.
00:22:02.148 --> 00:22:02.749
The lord. you tried to destroy
00:22:02.815 --> 00:22:03.983
You tried to destroy my family,
00:22:04.050 --> 00:22:04.717

The lord. you've tried to take my peace,

You've tried to take my peace, but because god is for me,
00:22:14.527 --> 00:22:16.429
But because god is for me, who can be against me?
00:22:16.496 --> 00:22:17.964
Who can be against me? i'm still praising the lord.

My harvest, but he opened up the windows
00:22:22.135 --> 00:22:23.269
But he opened up the windows of heaven and he poured out

Of heaven and he poured out upon me blessings
00:22:24.971 --> 00:22:26.038
