  • 00:05:08.702 --> 00:05:12.473
  • Who have you told? because the world's
  • 00:05:12.539 --> 00:05:13.006
  • Because the world's watching you,
  • 00:05:13.073 --> 00:05:15.709
  • Watching you, and when they watch,
  • 00:05:15.776 --> 00:05:16.343
  • And when they watch, they wanna know,
  • 00:05:16.410 --> 00:05:17.010
  • They wanna know, how did you get here?
  • 00:05:17.077 --> 00:05:20.381
  • How did you get here? and what you cannot do
  • 00:05:20.447 --> 00:05:21.281
  • And what you cannot do is take any of that
  • 00:05:21.348 --> 00:05:22.049
  • Is take any of that credit for yourself.
  • 00:05:22.116 --> 00:05:24.885
  • Credit for yourself. don't you dare print
  • 00:05:24.952 --> 00:05:26.620
  • Don't you dare print your memoirs and start with,
  • 00:05:26.687 --> 00:05:28.021
  • Your memoirs and start with, "me, me, me, me, me,
  • 00:05:28.088 --> 00:05:28.922
  • "me, me, me, me, me, i, i, i, i, i, i."
  • 00:05:28.989 --> 00:05:33.260
  • I, i, i, i, i, i." david said,
  • 00:05:33.327 --> 00:05:33.660
  • David said, "if you have to know,
  • 00:05:33.727 --> 00:05:35.429
  • "if you have to know, it's all about him.
  • 00:05:35.496 --> 00:05:37.798
  • It's all about him. he did it."
  • 00:05:37.865 --> 00:05:38.565
  • [applause]
  • 00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:44.405
  • David tells us where
  • 00:05:45.239 --> 00:05:45.939
  • David tells us where his confidence comes from.
  • 00:05:46.006 --> 00:05:47.141
  • His confidence comes from. he says, "the lord lives."
  • 00:05:47.207 --> 00:05:50.477
  • He says, "the lord lives." in verse 3, he said,
  • 00:05:50.544 --> 00:05:51.678
  • In verse 3, he said, "i will call upon the lord
  • 00:05:51.745 --> 00:05:53.914
  • "i will call upon the lord who is worthy to be praised,
  • 00:05:53.981 --> 00:05:56.450
  • Who is worthy to be praised, and so shall i be saved
  • 00:05:56.517 --> 00:05:59.720
  • And so shall i be saved from my enemies."
  • 00:05:59.787 --> 00:06:01.155
  • From my enemies." say that with me,
  • 00:06:01.221 --> 00:06:01.989
  • Say that with me, "and so shall i be saved
  • 00:06:02.055 --> 00:06:05.025
  • "and so shall i be saved from my enemies."
  • 00:06:05.092 --> 00:06:07.828
  • From my enemies." you see,
  • 00:06:07.895 --> 00:06:08.495
  • You see, david understood that it
  • 00:06:08.562 --> 00:06:09.663
  • David understood that it really didn't matter who was
  • 00:06:09.730 --> 00:06:10.664
  • Really didn't matter who was attacking him on the outside,
  • 00:06:10.731 --> 00:06:12.499
  • Attacking him on the outside, if he had the right source
  • 00:06:12.566 --> 00:06:13.967
  • If he had the right source on the inside,
  • 00:06:14.034 --> 00:06:15.135
  • On the inside, he was gonna be saved
  • 00:06:15.202 --> 00:06:16.603
  • He was gonna be saved from his enemies.
  • 00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:20.808
  • From his enemies. come one, come a thousand,
  • 00:06:20.874 --> 00:06:21.975
  • Come one, come a thousand, come an army,
  • 00:06:22.042 --> 00:06:23.410
  • Come an army, come a whole coalition,
  • 00:06:23.477 --> 00:06:25.045
  • Come a whole coalition, as long as he had
  • 00:06:25.112 --> 00:06:25.979
  • As long as he had the rock on the inside,
  • 00:06:26.046 --> 00:06:27.681
  • The rock on the inside, it didn't matter about
  • 00:06:27.748 --> 00:06:28.982
  • It didn't matter about the enemy on the outside,
  • 00:06:29.049 --> 00:06:30.317
  • The enemy on the outside, he was gonna be saved.
  • 00:06:30.384 --> 00:06:34.221
  • He was gonna be saved. it was, kinda, david's way
  • 00:06:34.288 --> 00:06:35.088
  • It was, kinda, david's way of letting the world know,
  • 00:06:35.155 --> 00:06:36.156
  • Of letting the world know, "hey, we got this."
  • 00:06:36.223 --> 00:06:38.625
  • "hey, we got this." have you ever said that?
  • 00:06:38.692 --> 00:06:42.095
  • Have you ever said that? "we got this."
  • 00:06:42.162 --> 00:06:44.131
  • "we got this." it took me a while
  • 00:06:44.198 --> 00:06:44.965
  • It took me a while to figure this out,
  • 00:06:45.032 --> 00:06:46.233
  • To figure this out, but until i gained
  • 00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:47.367
  • But until i gained self-confidence,
  • 00:06:47.434 --> 00:06:48.669
  • Self-confidence, i had to borrow confidence.
  • 00:06:48.735 --> 00:06:52.473
  • I had to borrow confidence. have you ever
  • 00:06:52.539 --> 00:06:53.040
  • Have you ever borrowed confidence?
  • 00:06:53.106 --> 00:06:55.175
  • Borrowed confidence? you had to have somebody
  • 00:06:55.242 --> 00:06:56.477
  • You had to have somebody tell you you could do it before
  • 00:06:56.543 --> 00:06:58.345
  • Tell you you could do it before you actually thought to do it.
  • 00:06:58.412 --> 00:07:01.048
  • You actually thought to do it. it didn't matter,
  • 00:07:01.114 --> 00:07:01.648
  • It didn't matter, it could've been little league.
  • 00:07:01.715 --> 00:07:04.284
  • It could've been little league. you're standing up at the plate
  • 00:07:04.351 --> 00:07:05.486
  • You're standing up at the plate and you're thinking,
  • 00:07:05.552 --> 00:07:05.953
  • And you're thinking, "man, i hope he doesn't
  • 00:07:06.019 --> 00:07:06.520
  • "man, i hope he doesn't hit me in the forehead
  • 00:07:06.587 --> 00:07:07.354
  • Hit me in the forehead with that ball."
  • 00:07:07.421 --> 00:07:10.057
  • With that ball." and you need that
  • 00:07:10.123 --> 00:07:10.858
  • And you need that voice telling you,
  • 00:07:10.924 --> 00:07:11.859
  • Voice telling you, "hey, you got this."
  • 00:07:11.925 --> 00:07:15.996
  • "hey, you got this." and you look over at 'em and go,
  • 00:07:16.063 --> 00:07:17.598
  • And you look over at 'em and go, "we got this."
  • 00:07:17.664 --> 00:07:18.365
  • [laughter]
  • 00:07:18.732 --> 00:07:19.366
  • But if there's not
  • 00:07:20.534 --> 00:07:21.301
  • But if there's not a voice of encouragement
  • 00:07:21.368 --> 00:07:22.436
  • A voice of encouragement in the fight with you,
  • 00:07:22.503 --> 00:07:23.637
  • In the fight with you, then you don't think you
  • 00:07:23.704 --> 00:07:24.638
  • Then you don't think you got this because you need
  • 00:07:24.705 --> 00:07:26.206
  • Got this because you need somebody with some strength
  • 00:07:26.273 --> 00:07:27.341
  • Somebody with some strength in your life to tell you
  • 00:07:27.407 --> 00:07:28.909
  • In your life to tell you when we got this.
  • 00:07:28.976 --> 00:07:32.980
  • When we got this. in my spiritual life,
  • 00:07:33.046 --> 00:07:34.114
  • In my spiritual life, whenever i need confidence
  • 00:07:34.181 --> 00:07:35.582
  • Whenever i need confidence and i know that i don't have
  • 00:07:35.649 --> 00:07:37.284
  • And i know that i don't have the strength within my own self,
  • 00:07:37.351 --> 00:07:38.552
  • The strength within my own self, i look to the rock that
  • 00:07:38.619 --> 00:07:40.220
  • I look to the rock that is higher than i,
  • 00:07:40.287 --> 00:07:41.655
  • Is higher than i, and what i recognize in him
  • 00:07:41.722 --> 00:07:43.557
  • And what i recognize in him is whatever i'm lacking,
  • 00:07:43.624 --> 00:07:45.025
  • Is whatever i'm lacking, he has all of that
  • 00:07:45.092 --> 00:07:46.493
  • He has all of that and so much more,
  • 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:47.661
  • And so much more, so i don't need to have
  • 00:07:47.728 --> 00:07:49.196
  • So i don't need to have the answer as long as
  • 00:07:49.263 --> 00:07:50.430
  • The answer as long as i know where the answer
  • 00:07:50.497 --> 00:07:51.465
  • I know where the answer comes from.
  • 00:07:51.532 --> 00:07:52.132
  • Comes from. i don't need to have
  • 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:53.233
  • I don't need to have the resources as long as
  • 00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:54.501
  • The resources as long as i know who the provider is.
  • 00:07:54.568 --> 00:07:55.802
  • I know who the provider is. i don't need to have the power
  • 00:07:55.869 --> 00:07:57.604
  • I don't need to have the power as long as i know where
  • 00:07:57.671 --> 00:07:59.006
  • As long as i know where all power can be found.
  • 00:07:59.072 --> 00:08:00.641
  • All power can be found. and when i look to him,
  • 00:08:00.707 --> 00:08:02.042
  • And when i look to him, suddenly he sends
  • 00:08:02.109 --> 00:08:03.210
  • Suddenly he sends his holy spirit
  • 00:08:03.277 --> 00:08:04.411
  • His holy spirit to remind me, we got this.
  • 00:08:04.478 --> 00:08:06.747
  • To remind me, we got this. it doesn't matter
  • 00:08:06.813 --> 00:08:07.614
  • It doesn't matter if it's sickness,
  • 00:08:07.681 --> 00:08:09.249
  • If it's sickness, we got this because
  • 00:08:09.316 --> 00:08:10.217
  • We got this because by his stripes i'm healed.
  • 00:08:10.284 --> 00:08:11.952
  • By his stripes i'm healed. it doesn't matter
  • 00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:12.753
  • It doesn't matter if it's poverty,
  • 00:08:12.819 --> 00:08:13.687
  • If it's poverty, we got this because he is
  • 00:08:13.754 --> 00:08:15.422
  • We got this because he is a provider who will give
  • 00:08:15.489 --> 00:08:17.190
  • A provider who will give according to all of my needs.
  • 00:08:17.257 --> 00:08:18.825
  • According to all of my needs. it doesn't matter
  • 00:08:18.892 --> 00:08:19.760
  • It doesn't matter if i'm fighting alone,
  • 00:08:19.826 --> 00:08:20.961
  • If i'm fighting alone, we got this because
  • 00:08:21.028 --> 00:08:22.529
  • We got this because he'll never leave me,
  • 00:08:22.596 --> 00:08:23.564
  • He'll never leave me, nor will he forsake me.
  • 00:08:23.630 --> 00:08:24.965
  • Nor will he forsake me. it doesn't matter
  • 00:08:25.032 --> 00:08:26.133
  • It doesn't matter if a thousand fall
  • 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:27.200
  • If a thousand fall at my right hand
  • 00:08:27.267 --> 00:08:27.901
  • At my right hand and ten thousand at my left side
  • 00:08:27.968 --> 00:08:29.836
  • And ten thousand at my left side or the arrows fly by day,
  • 00:08:29.903 --> 00:08:31.838
  • Or the arrows fly by day, or the plague comes by night.
  • 00:08:31.905 --> 00:08:33.407
  • Or the plague comes by night. we got this because
  • 00:08:33.473 --> 00:08:35.142
  • We got this because the lord is my light,
  • 00:08:35.208 --> 00:08:36.910
  • The lord is my light, and the lord is my salvation,
  • 00:08:36.977 --> 00:08:38.946
  • And the lord is my salvation, of whom shall i fear?
  • 00:08:39.012 --> 00:08:40.581
  • Of whom shall i fear? the lord is
  • 00:08:40.647 --> 00:08:41.548
  • The lord is the strength of my life,
  • 00:08:41.615 --> 00:08:42.849
  • The strength of my life, of whom shall i be afraid?
  • 00:08:42.916 --> 00:08:44.751
  • Of whom shall i be afraid? child of god,
  • 00:08:44.818 --> 00:08:45.819
  • Child of god, when god is on your side,
  • 00:08:45.886 --> 00:08:47.454
  • When god is on your side, you can look at every enemy
  • 00:08:47.521 --> 00:08:48.889
  • You can look at every enemy you face and declare
  • 00:08:48.956 --> 00:08:50.290
  • You face and declare with confidence,
  • 00:08:50.357 --> 00:08:51.458
  • With confidence, "we got this.
  • 00:08:51.525 --> 00:08:52.759
  • "we got this. god's on my side."
  • 00:08:52.826 --> 00:08:54.194
  • [cheering and applause]
  • 00:08:54.494 --> 00:09:00.634
  • David let the world know
  • 00:09:01.802 --> 00:09:02.569
  • David let the world know very quickly it was the lord.
  • 00:09:02.636 --> 00:09:05.606
  • Very quickly it was the lord. and then, he begins to tell us
  • 00:09:05.672 --> 00:09:07.174
  • And then, he begins to tell us exactly what god was.
  • 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.378
  • Exactly what god was. god was tangible, god was real.
  • 00:09:11.445 --> 00:09:16.149
  • God was tangible, god was real. he said, "the lord is my rock.
  • 00:09:16.216 --> 00:09:19.219
  • He said, "the lord is my rock. he's the foundation
  • 00:09:19.286 --> 00:09:20.153
  • He's the foundation of everything."
  • 00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:21.989
  • Of everything." and then, he said,
  • 00:09:22.055 --> 00:09:23.290
  • And then, he said, "and my fortress
  • 00:09:23.357 --> 00:09:25.859
  • "and my fortress and my deliverer."
  • 00:09:25.926 --> 00:09:29.563
  • And my deliverer." now, the thing about
  • 00:09:29.630 --> 00:09:30.230
  • Now, the thing about david's rock is
  • 00:09:30.297 --> 00:09:32.532
  • David's rock is that he gives him two
  • 00:09:32.599 --> 00:09:33.433
  • That he gives him two very unique descriptions.
  • 00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:36.136
  • Very unique descriptions. first, a fortress,
  • 00:09:36.203 --> 00:09:38.372
  • First, a fortress, then a deliverer.
  • 00:09:38.438 --> 00:09:41.108
  • Then a deliverer. and not only are they unique,
  • 00:09:41.174 --> 00:09:42.409
  • And not only are they unique, but they are as opposite
  • 00:09:42.476 --> 00:09:43.977
  • But they are as opposite as they can be.
  • 00:09:44.044 --> 00:09:46.947
  • As they can be. how can one rock be both
  • 00:09:47.014 --> 00:09:48.215
  • How can one rock be both a fortress and a place
  • 00:09:48.281 --> 00:09:49.683
  • A fortress and a place of deliverance?
  • 00:09:49.750 --> 00:09:51.418
  • Of deliverance? first, let's talk about
  • 00:09:51.485 --> 00:09:52.219
  • First, let's talk about the fortress.
  • 00:09:52.285 --> 00:09:54.287
  • The fortress. david says,
  • 00:09:54.354 --> 00:09:54.755
  • David says, "the lord is my rock,
  • 00:09:54.821 --> 00:09:55.555
  • "the lord is my rock, and he is my fortress."
  • 00:09:55.622 --> 00:09:57.324
  • And he is my fortress." being a warrior, david knew
  • 00:09:57.391 --> 00:09:59.459
  • Being a warrior, david knew the difference between going out
  • 00:09:59.526 --> 00:10:01.361
  • The difference between going out to battle and having to defend
  • 00:10:01.428 --> 00:10:04.665
  • To battle and having to defend yourself from attack.
  • 00:10:04.731 --> 00:10:07.167
  • Yourself from attack. when you go out to battle,
  • 00:10:07.234 --> 00:10:08.468
  • When you go out to battle, you're on the offensive.
  • 00:10:08.535 --> 00:10:09.803
  • You're on the offensive. you have a game plan.
  • 00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:11.338
  • You have a game plan. you know when the fight's gonna

  • About david's confession that the rock is a fortress
  • 00:12:35.715 --> 00:12:38.251
  • That the rock is a fortress is that when david was young,
  • 00:12:38.318 --> 00:12:41.721
  • Is that when david was young, and saul was attacking him,
  • 00:12:41.788 --> 00:12:44.758
  • And saul was attacking him, he needed a fortress,
  • 00:12:44.825 --> 00:12:47.027
  • He needed a fortress, so he ran to
  • 00:12:47.093 --> 00:12:47.961
  • So he ran to the rocks of ein gedi.
  • 00:12:48.028 --> 00:12:49.429
  • The rocks of ein gedi. he ran to the wilderness
  • 00:12:49.496 --> 00:12:51.331
  • He ran to the wilderness just south of jerusalem.
  • 00:12:51.398 --> 00:12:52.699
  • Just south of jerusalem. he went from
  • 00:12:52.766 --> 00:12:53.233
  • He went from the palace to the cave.
  • 00:12:53.300 --> 00:12:55.302
  • The palace to the cave. but in that cave,
  • 00:12:55.368 --> 00:12:56.937
  • But in that cave, he found a shelter
  • 00:12:57.003 --> 00:12:58.071
  • He found a shelter from the sun in the desert
  • 00:12:58.138 --> 00:13:00.073
  • From the sun in the desert during the day and he found a
  • 00:13:00.140 --> 00:13:01.474
  • During the day and he found a cooling shade in the night where
  • 00:13:01.541 --> 00:13:03.710
  • Cooling shade in the night where he could sit and be warmed.
  • 00:13:03.777 --> 00:13:05.545
  • He could sit and be warmed. he found a refuge,
  • 00:13:05.612 --> 00:13:06.313
  • He found a refuge, and it didn't matter who was
  • 00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:08.048
  • And it didn't matter who was against him on the outside,
  • 00:13:08.114 --> 00:13:09.382
  • Against him on the outside, as long as he was hidden
  • 00:13:09.449 --> 00:13:10.517
  • As long as he was hidden in the rock, he was safe.
  • 00:13:10.584 --> 00:13:14.688
  • In the rock, he was safe. now, that's when he was a boy.
  • 00:13:14.754 --> 00:13:15.689
  • Now, that's when he was a boy. when he was an elder king,
  • 00:13:15.755 --> 00:13:18.325
  • When he was an elder king, his son, absalom,
  • 00:13:18.391 --> 00:13:20.193

  • 00:13:22.429 --> 00:13:24.698

  • 00:13:24.764 --> 00:13:25.832

  • And do you know where he went? right back to the rock.
  • 00:13:30.871 --> 00:13:34.074
  • Right back to the rock. the thing that i love about
  • 00:13:34.140 --> 00:13:34.808
  • The thing that i love about david's profession is that
  • 00:13:34.875 --> 00:13:36.509
  • David's profession is that it doesn't matter if you're
  • 00:13:36.576 --> 00:13:37.577

  • In trouble in your latter days, the same rock that helped you
  • 00:13:42.282 --> 00:13:43.550
  • The same rock that helped you then is gonna be the same rock
  • 00:13:43.617 --> 00:13:45.585
  • Then is gonna be the same rock that you can run to now.
  • 00:13:45.652 --> 00:13:46.920
  • That you can run to now. he is the same yesterday,
