  • Music
  • 00:00:00.094 --> 00:00:13.407
  • Pastor matt hagee: king david
  • 00:00:14.008 --> 00:00:14.842
  • Pastor matt hagee: king david tells us very clearly
  • 00:00:14.909 --> 00:00:16.277
  • Tells us very clearly what we have access to through
  • 00:00:16.343 --> 00:00:18.612
  • What we have access to through the power of praise
  • 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:20.181
  • The power of praise and thanksgiving.
  • 00:00:20.247 --> 00:00:21.482
  • And thanksgiving. he says, "enter into his gates
  • 00:00:21.549 --> 00:00:24.018
  • He says, "enter into his gates with thanksgiving."
  • 00:00:24.085 --> 00:00:24.819
  • With thanksgiving." somebody say, "gates."
  • 00:00:24.885 --> 00:00:27.588
  • Somebody say, "gates." he said, "and enter into
  • 00:00:27.655 --> 00:00:28.556
  • He said, "and enter into his courts with praise."
  • 00:00:28.622 --> 00:00:30.691
  • His courts with praise." somebody say, "courts."
  • 00:00:30.758 --> 00:00:33.160
  • Somebody say, "courts." the reason that david
  • 00:00:33.227 --> 00:00:34.161
  • The reason that david identifies these two places,
  • 00:00:34.228 --> 00:00:35.896
  • Identifies these two places, the gates and the courts,
  • 00:00:35.963 --> 00:00:38.132
  • The gates and the courts, is because in
  • 00:00:38.199 --> 00:00:38.966
  • Is because in every ancient city,
  • 00:00:39.033 --> 00:00:41.168
  • Every ancient city, inside the gates,
  • 00:00:41.235 --> 00:00:42.870
  • Inside the gates, the walls of the city
  • 00:00:42.937 --> 00:00:44.338
  • The walls of the city is where court was held.
  • 00:00:44.405 --> 00:00:47.675
  • Is where court was held. this is where
  • 00:00:47.741 --> 00:00:48.142
  • This is where decisions were made.
  • 00:00:48.209 --> 00:00:50.644
  • Decisions were made. this is where citizens
  • 00:00:50.711 --> 00:00:51.745
  • This is where citizens who wanted judgement
  • 00:00:51.812 --> 00:00:53.080
  • Who wanted judgement came and found
  • 00:00:53.147 --> 00:00:54.715
  • Came and found a ruling on their issue.
  • 00:00:54.782 --> 00:00:57.418
  • A ruling on their issue. and what david is saying you get
  • 00:00:57.485 --> 00:00:59.186
  • And what david is saying you get when you have thanksgiving
  • 00:00:59.253 --> 00:01:00.588
  • When you have thanksgiving and praise in your life,
  • 00:01:00.654 --> 00:01:02.256
  • And praise in your life, is that you go into
  • 00:01:02.323 --> 00:01:03.591
  • Is that you go into the very courts of heaven,
  • 00:01:03.657 --> 00:01:05.126
  • The very courts of heaven, and you receive decisions
  • 00:01:05.192 --> 00:01:06.961
  • And you receive decisions on your behalf from
  • 00:01:07.027 --> 00:01:08.629
  • On your behalf from the king of kings
  • 00:01:08.696 --> 00:01:09.864
  • The king of kings and the lord of lords.
  • 00:01:09.930 --> 00:01:12.366
  • And the lord of lords. in the book of ruth 4,
  • 00:01:12.433 --> 00:01:14.435
  • In the book of ruth 4, we read about ruth and boaz.
  • 00:01:14.502 --> 00:01:17.271
  • We read about ruth and boaz. and boaz decides that he wants
  • 00:01:17.338 --> 00:01:19.173
  • And boaz decides that he wants to find out who has
  • 00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:20.374
  • To find out who has the legal right to marry ruth.
  • 00:01:20.441 --> 00:01:22.810
  • The legal right to marry ruth. and so, the bible says
  • 00:01:22.877 --> 00:01:23.811
  • And so, the bible says in ruth 4:1,
  • 00:01:23.878 --> 00:01:25.713
  • In ruth 4:1, boaz went up to the gate
  • 00:01:25.779 --> 00:01:27.715
  • Boaz went up to the gate and he sat down there.
  • 00:01:27.781 --> 00:01:29.683
  • And he sat down there. and then, he waited for
  • 00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:30.885
  • And then, he waited for the close relative to come by,
  • 00:01:30.951 --> 00:01:32.753
  • The close relative to come by, and he invited him
  • 00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:33.854
  • And he invited him to sit down with
  • 00:01:33.921 --> 00:01:35.156
  • To sit down with the elders of the city.
  • 00:01:35.222 --> 00:01:36.457
  • The elders of the city. why did boaz go to the gates?
  • 00:01:36.524 --> 00:01:38.993
  • Why did boaz go to the gates? because that's where
  • 00:01:39.059 --> 00:01:39.593
  • Because that's where court was held.
  • 00:01:39.660 --> 00:01:41.462
  • Court was held. they enter into a negotiation
  • 00:01:41.529 --> 00:01:43.097
  • They enter into a negotiation and ten verses later,
  • 00:01:43.164 --> 00:01:44.832
  • And ten verses later, the bible says all of the people
  • 00:01:44.899 --> 00:01:46.734
  • The bible says all of the people who were at the gate
  • 00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:47.902
  • Who were at the gate and the elders said,
  • 00:01:47.968 --> 00:01:49.703
  • And the elders said, "we are witnesses."
  • 00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:52.173
  • "we are witnesses." today, through the power
  • 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.741
  • Today, through the power of praise and thanksgiving,
  • 00:01:53.807 --> 00:01:55.409
  • Of praise and thanksgiving, you can go into the very place
  • 00:01:55.476 --> 00:01:57.578
  • You can go into the very place where decisions in heaven
  • 00:01:57.645 --> 00:01:59.380
  • Where decisions in heaven are made concerning
  • 00:01:59.446 --> 00:02:00.714
  • Are made concerning your life here on earth.
  • 00:02:00.781 --> 00:02:02.283
  • Your life here on earth. and the angels that surround
  • 00:02:02.349 --> 00:02:03.817
  • And the angels that surround the throne and the saints
  • 00:02:03.884 --> 00:02:05.219
  • The throne and the saints who have gone before
  • 00:02:05.286 --> 00:02:06.487
  • Who have gone before are nothing more
  • 00:02:06.554 --> 00:02:07.321
  • Are nothing more than witnesses to what god
  • 00:02:07.388 --> 00:02:09.190
  • Than witnesses to what god is declaring on your behalf.
  • 00:02:09.256 --> 00:02:12.526
  • Is declaring on your behalf. when you worship the lord,
  • 00:02:12.593 --> 00:02:13.861
  • When you worship the lord, you don't have to wait
  • 00:02:13.928 --> 00:02:15.930
  • You don't have to wait for a judge to clear his docket
  • 00:02:15.996 --> 00:02:17.798
  • For a judge to clear his docket to hear your case
  • 00:02:17.865 --> 00:02:18.999
  • To hear your case because you are going
  • 00:02:19.066 --> 00:02:20.134
  • Because you are going to the place where
  • 00:02:20.201 --> 00:02:20.901
  • To the place where there is a king who is
  • 00:02:20.968 --> 00:02:21.802
  • There is a king who is above kings and a lord
  • 00:02:21.869 --> 00:02:23.437
  • Above kings and a lord who is above lords.
  • 00:02:23.504 --> 00:02:24.772
  • Who is above lords. it is in that court that you
  • 00:02:24.838 --> 00:02:26.674
  • It is in that court that you don't have an advocate with
  • 00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:28.342
  • Don't have an advocate with a good reputation for all
  • 00:02:28.409 --> 00:02:29.977
  • A good reputation for all of the victories that
  • 00:02:30.044 --> 00:02:31.145
  • Of the victories that he's won here on earth.
  • 00:02:31.212 --> 00:02:33.013
  • He's won here on earth. you have an advocate with a name
  • 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.349
  • You have an advocate with a name that is above every name.
  • 00:02:35.416 --> 00:02:37.651
  • That is above every name. who has risen from
  • 00:02:37.718 --> 00:02:39.119
  • Who has risen from the grave and been seated
  • 00:02:39.186 --> 00:02:40.521
  • The grave and been seated at the right hand
  • 00:02:40.588 --> 00:02:41.488
  • At the right hand of god, the father.
  • 00:02:41.555 --> 00:02:42.790
  • Of god, the father. the bible tells us
  • 00:02:42.856 --> 00:02:43.991
  • The bible tells us that the lord inhabits
  • 00:02:44.058 --> 00:02:46.293
  • That the lord inhabits the praises of his people.
  • 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.496
  • The praises of his people. do you need god
  • 00:02:49.563 --> 00:02:50.197
  • Do you need god to show up in your life?
  • 00:02:50.264 --> 00:02:52.733
  • To show up in your life? are you waiting for his hand
  • 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.368
  • Are you waiting for his hand to do something?
  • 00:02:54.435 --> 00:02:55.469
  • To do something? are you waiting for
  • 00:02:55.536 --> 00:02:56.604
  • Are you waiting for a mountain to move?
  • 00:02:56.670 --> 00:02:57.571
  • A mountain to move? are you waiting
  • 00:02:57.638 --> 00:02:58.439
  • Are you waiting for a breakthrough?
  • 00:02:58.505 --> 00:02:59.473
  • For a breakthrough? if you need god to show up,
  • 00:02:59.540 --> 00:03:01.675
  • If you need god to show up, the lord inhabits
  • 00:03:01.742 --> 00:03:03.978
  • The lord inhabits the praises of his people.
  • 00:03:04.044 --> 00:03:05.779
  • The praises of his people. it means he literally comes
  • 00:03:05.846 --> 00:03:07.114
  • It means he literally comes and sits down in the environment
  • 00:03:07.181 --> 00:03:09.883
  • And sits down in the environment where his name is being praised.
  • 00:03:09.950 --> 00:03:12.052
  • Where his name is being praised. and church, let me tell you,
  • 00:03:12.119 --> 00:03:13.587
  • And church, let me tell you, when god shows up,
  • 00:03:13.654 --> 00:03:15.789
  • When god shows up, the brokenhearted
  • 00:03:15.856 --> 00:03:16.790
  • The brokenhearted are made strong and mended
  • 00:03:16.857 --> 00:03:18.993
  • Are made strong and mended in his presence.
  • 00:03:19.059 --> 00:03:19.960
  • In his presence. when god shows up,
  • 00:03:20.027 --> 00:03:21.662
  • When god shows up, the weeping that has endured
  • 00:03:21.729 --> 00:03:22.963
  • The weeping that has endured for the night is exchanged
  • 00:03:23.030 --> 00:03:24.665
  • For the night is exchanged for a shout of joy that
  • 00:03:24.732 --> 00:03:26.200
  • For a shout of joy that comes in the morning.
  • 00:03:26.267 --> 00:03:27.268
  • Comes in the morning. when god shows up,
  • 00:03:27.334 --> 00:03:28.769
  • When god shows up, those who are sick
  • 00:03:28.836 --> 00:03:29.770

  • In their body are healed. the lame can leap,
  • 00:03:31.405 --> 00:03:32.573
  • The lame can leap, the dumb can speak,
  • 00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:34.108
  • The dumb can speak, the deaf can hear,
  • 00:03:34.174 --> 00:03:35.442
  • The deaf can hear, the blind can see again.
  • 00:03:35.509 --> 00:03:37.378
  • The blind can see again. whenever god shows up,
  • 00:03:37.444 --> 00:03:39.013
  • Whenever god shows up, those who are in the battle
  • 00:03:39.079 --> 00:03:40.481
  • Those who are in the battle are crowned
  • 00:03:40.547 --> 00:03:41.315
  • Are crowned more than conquerors.
  • 00:03:41.382 --> 00:03:42.583
  • More than conquerors. when god shows up,
  • 00:03:42.650 --> 00:03:44.184
  • When god shows up, troubles turn into triumphs

  • 00:03:46.153 --> 00:03:48.522
  • And trials turn into victories because that's the kind of god
  • 00:03:48.589 --> 00:03:50.424

  • He has the keys to death, hell, and the grave,
  • 00:04:15.115 --> 00:04:16.016
  • Hell, and the grave, and he has already
  • 00:04:16.083 --> 00:04:17.151
  • And he has already triumphed over them
  • 00:04:17.217 --> 00:04:18.352
  • Triumphed over them at a place called calvary.
  • 00:04:18.419 --> 00:04:20.287
  • At a place called calvary. it is through your power
  • 00:04:20.354 --> 00:04:21.822
  • It is through your power and your willingness
  • 00:04:21.889 --> 00:04:22.890
  • And your willingness to give god praise
  • 00:04:22.956 --> 00:04:24.224
  • To give god praise and thanksgiving that you
  • 00:04:24.291 --> 00:04:25.726
  • And thanksgiving that you experience his presence

  • That the bible declares you can have in jesus' name.
  • 00:04:30.631 --> 00:04:35.102
  • You can have in jesus' name. when you understand
  • 00:04:35.169 --> 00:04:35.602
  • When you understand the power of praise,
  • 00:04:35.669 --> 00:04:36.570
  • The power of praise, there is no reason
  • 00:04:36.637 --> 00:04:37.771
  • There is no reason for you not to feel like
  • 00:04:37.838 --> 00:04:39.406
  • For you not to feel like a victorious christian.
  • 00:04:39.473 --> 00:04:42.142
  • A victorious christian. i think god gets tired
  • 00:04:42.209 --> 00:04:44.011
  • I think god gets tired of listening to his kids
  • 00:04:44.078 --> 00:04:45.612
  • Of listening to his kids whine about what they're
  • 00:04:45.679 --> 00:04:47.081
  • Whine about what they're enduring here on the earth.
  • 00:04:47.147 --> 00:04:50.084
  • Enduring here on the earth. he's already
  • 00:04:50.150 --> 00:04:50.617
  • He's already given us the victory,
  • 00:04:50.684 --> 00:04:52.720
  • Given us the victory, all we have to do
  • 00:04:52.786 --> 00:04:53.821
  • All we have to do is give him thanks and praise
  • 00:04:53.887 --> 00:04:56.223
  • Is give him thanks and praise for what he has done.
  • 00:04:56.290 --> 00:04:58.759
  • For what he has done. which is why i want you
  • 00:04:58.826 --> 00:04:59.893
  • Which is why i want you to understand today,
  • 00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:01.295
  • To understand today, praise is not
  • 00:05:01.362 --> 00:05:02.129
  • Praise is not something you feel,
  • 00:05:02.196 --> 00:05:03.764
  • Something you feel, praise is a fact.
  • 00:05:03.831 --> 00:05:05.299
  • Praise is a fact. it's something you do whether

  • Tells us that they were arrested for preaching the gospel,
  • 00:06:20.441 --> 00:06:21.842

  • And every door was opened." why?
  • 00:06:44.131 --> 00:06:45.098
  • Why? because they had
  • 00:06:45.165 --> 00:06:45.766
  • Because they had an attitude of praise.
  • 00:06:45.833 --> 00:06:49.436
  • An attitude of praise. david had this attitude
  • 00:06:49.503 --> 00:06:51.038
  • David had this attitude in psalms 34:1 when he said,
  • 00:06:51.104 --> 00:06:54.208
  • In psalms 34:1 when he said, "i will bless the lord
  • 00:06:54.274 --> 00:06:56.009
  • "i will bless the lord at all times,
  • 00:06:56.076 --> 00:06:57.811
  • At all times, and his praise shall
  • 00:06:57.878 --> 00:06:59.546
  • And his praise shall continually be in my mouth."
  • 00:06:59.613 --> 00:07:02.983
  • Continually be in my mouth." i will bless the lord
  • 00:07:03.050 --> 00:07:04.985
  • I will bless the lord at all times.
  • 00:07:05.052 --> 00:07:07.287
  • At all times. how much?
  • 00:07:07.354 --> 00:07:08.755
  • How much? all times.
  • 00:07:08.822 --> 00:07:11.158
  • All times. it's easy to bless the lord when
  • 00:07:11.225 --> 00:07:12.593
  • It's easy to bless the lord when everything is going well,
  • 00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:15.229
  • Everything is going well, but david didn't say,
  • 00:07:15.295 --> 00:07:15.896
  • But david didn't say, "i'm gonna do it
  • 00:07:15.963 --> 00:07:16.430
  • "i'm gonna do it in the good times,"
  • 00:07:16.497 --> 00:07:17.231
  • In the good times," he said, "i'm gonna do it
  • 00:07:17.297 --> 00:07:18.532
  • He said, "i'm gonna do it at all times."
  • 00:07:18.599 --> 00:07:21.268
  • At all times." david wrote this psalm
  • 00:07:21.335 --> 00:07:23.036
  • David wrote this psalm in the cave of adullam.
  • 00:07:23.103 --> 00:07:26.073
  • In the cave of adullam. he's hiding from saul.
  • 00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:27.774
  • He's hiding from saul. he's been anointed to lead,
  • 00:07:27.841 --> 00:07:29.810
  • He's been anointed to lead, and yet he's hiding in darkness,
  • 00:07:29.877 --> 00:07:32.145
  • And yet he's hiding in darkness, and he recognizes that he can
  • 00:07:32.212 --> 00:07:34.214
  • And he recognizes that he can turn his cave into a cathedral.
  • 00:07:34.281 --> 00:07:36.817
  • Turn his cave into a cathedral. not because he has the ability
  • 00:07:36.884 --> 00:07:39.553
  • Not because he has the ability to escape his circumstance,
  • 00:07:39.620 --> 00:07:41.088
  • To escape his circumstance, but because he can,
  • 00:07:41.154 --> 00:07:41.922
  • But because he can, through the power of praise,
  • 00:07:41.989 --> 00:07:43.457
  • Through the power of praise, bring god into his circumstance.
  • 00:07:43.524 --> 00:07:48.428
  • Bring god into his circumstance. you don't change
  • 00:07:48.495 --> 00:07:49.863
  • You don't change the environment,
  • 00:07:49.930 --> 00:07:50.764
  • The environment, you change the atmosphere.
  • 00:07:50.831 --> 00:07:55.636
  • You change the atmosphere. david had this
  • 00:07:55.702 --> 00:07:56.336
  • David had this attitude of praise,
  • 00:07:56.403 --> 00:07:57.638
  • Attitude of praise, and he gets down
  • 00:07:57.704 --> 00:07:58.672
  • And he gets down to the point of it
  • 00:07:58.739 --> 00:08:00.007
  • To the point of it very quickly whenever he says,
  • 00:08:00.073 --> 00:08:01.475
  • Very quickly whenever he says, "i will bless the lord."

  • "i will bless the lord." say that with me,
  • 00:08:03.911 --> 00:08:04.745
  • Say that with me, "i will bless the lord."
  • 00:08:04.811 --> 00:08:06.947
  • "i will bless the lord." he lets us know very quickly
  • 00:08:07.014 --> 00:08:08.649
  • He lets us know very quickly that praise is personal.
  • 00:08:08.715 --> 00:08:12.686
  • That praise is personal. praise is personal.
  • 00:08:12.753 --> 00:08:13.654
