00:00:00.094 --> 00:00:13.874
Pastor matt hagee: why are
00:00:17.711 --> 00:00:18.379
Pastor matt hagee: why are we talking about
00:00:18.446 --> 00:00:19.113
We talking about trust issues?
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:21.248
Trust issues? because it is something
00:00:21.315 --> 00:00:22.216
Because it is something that is plaguing our society.
00:00:22.283 --> 00:00:25.920
That is plaguing our society. it doesn't matter who you are,
00:00:25.986 --> 00:00:27.221
It doesn't matter who you are, we're all under
00:00:27.288 --> 00:00:28.522
We're all under the pressure of distrust
00:00:28.589 --> 00:00:31.892
The pressure of distrust and disbelief that exists
00:00:31.959 --> 00:00:33.961
And disbelief that exists in our world today.
00:00:34.028 --> 00:00:35.796
In our world today. we face it on a daily basis.
00:00:35.863 --> 00:00:37.898
We face it on a daily basis. every one of us
00:00:37.965 --> 00:00:39.166
Every one of us struggle with it.
00:00:39.233 --> 00:00:40.668
Struggle with it. and every time that
00:00:40.734 --> 00:00:41.535
And every time that trust issues come up
00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:43.404
Trust issues come up and we begin to question
00:00:43.471 --> 00:00:44.605
And we begin to question what we believe is real,
00:00:44.672 --> 00:00:45.873
What we believe is real, it causes mental stress,
00:00:45.940 --> 00:00:47.975
It causes mental stress, it causes emotional pain,
00:00:48.042 --> 00:00:49.944
It causes emotional pain, and then it becomes a spiritual
00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:51.812
And then it becomes a spiritual burden that we carry.
00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:54.315
Burden that we carry. that's why i'm asking
00:00:54.381 --> 00:00:55.349
That's why i'm asking the question,
00:00:55.416 --> 00:00:56.083
The question, what's holding you back?
00:00:56.150 --> 00:00:57.451
What's holding you back? what burden are you carrying
00:00:57.518 --> 00:00:59.286
What burden are you carrying that you truly need
00:00:59.353 --> 00:01:00.354
That you truly need to trust the lord with?
00:01:00.421 --> 00:01:03.057
To trust the lord with? look around you,
00:01:03.124 --> 00:01:03.924
Look around you, trust issues are
00:01:03.991 --> 00:01:04.925
Trust issues are a global problem.
00:01:04.992 --> 00:01:07.795
A global problem. cultures don't
00:01:07.862 --> 00:01:08.729
Cultures don't trust other cultures.
00:01:08.796 --> 00:01:10.831
Trust other cultures. races don't trust other races.
00:01:10.898 --> 00:01:13.134
Races don't trust other races. it's a national problem,
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:14.735
It's a national problem, it's a community problem,
00:01:14.802 --> 00:01:16.704
It's a community problem, it's a family problem.
00:01:16.770 --> 00:01:18.873
It's a family problem. don't act like you trust
00:01:18.939 --> 00:01:19.907
Don't act like you trust all your relatives.
00:01:19.974 --> 00:01:20.975
[laughter]
00:01:21.542 --> 00:01:22.543
Why'd you put up
00:01:22.943 --> 00:01:23.511
Why'd you put up the good china when they
00:01:23.577 --> 00:01:24.478
The good china when they came over for christmas?
00:01:24.545 --> 00:01:25.880
[laughter]
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.381
It's a marriage issue.
00:01:28.249 --> 00:01:30.551
It's a marriage issue. trust issues torment people
00:01:30.618 --> 00:01:32.086
Trust issues torment people to the point that they can't
00:01:32.153 --> 00:01:32.987
To the point that they can't enjoy their everyday life.
00:01:33.053 --> 00:01:35.356
Enjoy their everyday life. and the reality of the situation
00:01:35.422 --> 00:01:37.024
And the reality of the situation is that whenever you
00:01:37.091 --> 00:01:38.259
Is that whenever you have trust issues
00:01:38.325 --> 00:01:39.293
Have trust issues in so many areas of your
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:40.761
In so many areas of your personal life, you begin
00:01:40.828 --> 00:01:42.229
Personal life, you begin to push that distrust onto god.
00:01:42.296 --> 00:01:47.468
To push that distrust onto god. we've got trust issues.
00:01:47.535 --> 00:01:49.737
We've got trust issues. our society lives on suspicion
00:01:49.803 --> 00:01:52.706
Our society lives on suspicion and second guessing.
00:01:52.773 --> 00:01:53.841
And second guessing. they wanna question everything.
00:01:53.908 --> 00:01:57.077
They wanna question everything. is grass really green
00:01:57.144 --> 00:01:58.512
Is grass really green or did the government dye it?
00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:00.114
[laughter]
00:02:00.581 --> 00:02:01.882
People posting
00:02:02.683 --> 00:02:03.651
People posting pictures of clouds.
00:02:03.717 --> 00:02:04.618
Pictures of clouds. "these are not clouds.
00:02:04.685 --> 00:02:06.153
"these are not clouds. they're toxic vapor trails."
00:02:06.220 --> 00:02:11.825
They're toxic vapor trails." as much distrust
00:02:11.892 --> 00:02:13.127
As much distrust as exists in our society,
00:02:13.194 --> 00:02:14.929
As exists in our society, the basis and the foundation
00:02:14.995 --> 00:02:17.231
The basis and the foundation of every relationship
00:02:17.298 --> 00:02:18.632
Of every relationship is built on trust.
00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:20.968
Is built on trust. personal trust,
00:02:21.035 --> 00:02:22.069
Personal trust, professional trust,
00:02:22.136 --> 00:02:23.370
Professional trust, national trust,
00:02:23.437 --> 00:02:24.338
National trust, global trust.
00:02:24.405 --> 00:02:25.506
Global trust. what do they call places
00:02:25.573 --> 00:02:26.507
What do they call places where you put your money?
00:02:26.574 --> 00:02:27.775
Where you put your money? bank and trust.
00:02:27.841 --> 00:02:31.712
Bank and trust. it's the foundation
00:02:31.779 --> 00:02:32.613
It's the foundation of everything.
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.915
Of everything. and as new as you might think
00:02:34.982 --> 00:02:36.250
And as new as you might think this problem is,
00:02:36.317 --> 00:02:37.218
This problem is, it's actually centuries old.
00:02:37.284 --> 00:02:38.852
It's actually centuries old. because in psalms 11,
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:40.554
Because in psalms 11, david asks the question,
00:02:40.621 --> 00:02:41.922
David asks the question, "if the foundations
00:02:41.989 --> 00:02:43.624
"if the foundations be destroyed,
00:02:43.691 --> 00:02:44.625
Be destroyed, what then can the righteous do?"
00:02:44.692 --> 00:02:46.594
What then can the righteous do?" what he's saying is,
00:02:46.660 --> 00:02:47.628
What he's saying is, if the foundations
00:02:47.695 --> 00:02:48.929
If the foundations of every societal thing
00:02:48.996 --> 00:02:51.298
Of every societal thing starts to crumble,
00:02:51.365 --> 00:02:52.499
Starts to crumble, what do those
00:02:52.566 --> 00:02:53.467
What do those who believe in god do?
00:02:53.534 --> 00:02:54.668
Who believe in god do? and the answer is,
00:02:54.735 --> 00:02:55.803
And the answer is, when the world has trust issues,
00:02:55.869 --> 00:02:58.005
When the world has trust issues, you put your trust
00:02:58.072 --> 00:02:59.440
You put your trust in the living god because
00:02:59.506 --> 00:03:00.975
In the living god because he is the one who never fails.
00:03:01.041 --> 00:03:03.277
[applause]
00:03:03.577 --> 00:03:08.048
In psalms 34,
00:03:08.449 --> 00:03:09.350
In psalms 34, he tells us through
00:03:09.416 --> 00:03:10.417
He tells us through his own personal experience
00:03:10.484 --> 00:03:12.019
His own personal experience and his own testimony,
00:03:12.086 --> 00:03:13.420
And his own testimony, the challenges that he faced
00:03:13.487 --> 00:03:15.256
The challenges that he faced and how he overcame them.
00:03:15.322 --> 00:03:17.224
And how he overcame them. and when he gets
00:03:17.291 --> 00:03:18.158
And when he gets to the crescendo
00:03:18.225 --> 00:03:19.159
To the crescendo of what god has done,
00:03:19.226 --> 00:03:20.561
Of what god has done, he says,
00:03:20.628 --> 00:03:21.228
He says, "don't take my word for it,
00:03:21.295 --> 00:03:23.230
"don't take my word for it, you've got to try
00:03:23.297 --> 00:03:24.832
You've got to try this for yourself."
00:03:24.898 --> 00:03:26.100
This for yourself." "o, taste and see that
00:03:26.166 --> 00:03:29.003
"o, taste and see that the lord is good."
00:03:29.069 --> 00:03:31.005
The lord is good." try him for yourself
00:03:31.071 --> 00:03:32.873
Try him for yourself and see if he is not able
00:03:32.940 --> 00:03:34.908
And see if he is not able to provide your every need
00:03:34.975 --> 00:03:36.644
To provide your every need according to his
00:03:36.710 --> 00:03:37.511
According to his riches in glory.
00:03:37.578 --> 00:03:38.445
Riches in glory. because david says later,
00:03:38.512 --> 00:03:40.314
Because david says later, "i've never seen
00:03:40.381 --> 00:03:41.382
"i've never seen the righteous forsaken
00:03:41.448 --> 00:03:42.950
The righteous forsaken nor their seed begging
00:03:43.017 --> 00:03:44.151
Nor their seed begging for bread."
00:03:44.218 --> 00:03:44.785
For bread." he says,
00:03:44.852 --> 00:03:45.352
He says, "try him for yourself
00:03:45.419 --> 00:03:47.054
"try him for yourself and see if he won't deliver
00:03:47.121 --> 00:03:48.522
And see if he won't deliver you out of a day of trouble."
00:03:48.589 --> 00:03:50.157
You out of a day of trouble." because he writes
00:03:50.224 --> 00:03:50.891
Because he writes in verse 19,
00:03:50.958 --> 00:03:52.159
In verse 19, "many are the afflictions
00:03:52.226 --> 00:03:53.727
"many are the afflictions of the righteous,
00:03:53.794 --> 00:03:54.561
Of the righteous, but the lord delivers them
00:03:54.628 --> 00:03:56.297
But the lord delivers them out of them all."
00:03:56.363 --> 00:03:57.298
Out of them all." he says,
00:03:57.364 --> 00:03:57.798
He says, "try him for yourself
00:03:57.865 --> 00:03:59.400
"try him for yourself and see if he will not send
00:03:59.466 --> 00:04:01.268
And see if he will not send his word and heal you
00:04:01.335 --> 00:04:03.337
His word and heal you in your day of sickness
00:04:03.404 --> 00:04:04.672
In your day of sickness and disease."
00:04:04.738 --> 00:04:05.506
And disease." he says,
00:04:05.572 --> 00:04:06.006
He says, "try him for yourself
00:04:06.073 --> 00:04:08.042
"try him for yourself and see if he won't send
00:04:08.108 --> 00:04:09.376
And see if he won't send his angels and give them
00:04:09.443 --> 00:04:10.678
His angels and give them charge over you.
00:04:10.744 --> 00:04:11.845
Charge over you. if he won't hide you
00:04:11.912 --> 00:04:13.314
If he won't hide you in the shadow of his wings,
00:04:13.380 --> 00:04:14.648
In the shadow of his wings, if he won't be a shield
00:04:14.715 --> 00:04:16.216
If he won't be a shield around your family,
00:04:16.283 --> 00:04:17.451
Around your family, if he won't be a shelter
00:04:17.518 --> 00:04:19.119
If he won't be a shelter in the midst of the storm,
00:04:19.186 --> 00:04:20.387
In the midst of the storm, if he won't be a strong tower
00:04:20.454 --> 00:04:22.356
If he won't be a strong tower in the day of battle."
00:04:22.423 --> 00:04:23.490
In the day of battle." he says,
00:04:23.557 --> 00:04:23.991
He says, "try him and see if he won't
00:04:24.058 --> 00:04:26.126
"try him and see if he won't lead you in paths
00:04:26.193 --> 00:04:27.461
Lead you in paths of righteousness
00:04:27.528 --> 00:04:28.295
Of righteousness for his name's sake.
00:04:28.362 --> 00:04:29.563
For his name's sake. if he won't go before you
00:04:29.630 --> 00:04:31.265
If he won't go before you and prepare a table
00:04:31.332 --> 00:04:32.533
And prepare a table in the presence of your enemies.
00:04:32.599 --> 00:04:34.134
In the presence of your enemies. try him and see if his goodness
00:04:34.201 --> 00:04:36.670
Try him and see if his goodness and his mercy will not follow
00:04:36.737 --> 00:04:38.806
And his mercy will not follow you all the days of your life.
00:04:38.872 --> 00:04:40.874
You all the days of your life. oh don't take my word for it,
00:04:40.941 --> 00:04:43.344
Oh don't take my word for it, just taste and see for yourself
00:04:43.410 --> 00:04:45.979
Just taste and see for yourself and find out what
00:04:46.046 --> 00:04:47.548
And find out what a mighty god we serve!"
00:04:47.614 --> 00:04:49.283
[cheering and applause]
00:04:49.717 --> 00:04:55.222
David says,
00:04:55.622 --> 00:04:56.056
David says, "i've tried him and his mercy
00:04:56.123 --> 00:04:57.791
"i've tried him and his mercy endures for every generation.
00:04:57.858 --> 00:04:59.560
Endures for every generation. i've tried him,
00:04:59.626 --> 00:05:00.794
I've tried him, and where sin did abound,
00:05:00.861 --> 00:05:02.429
And where sin did abound, grace did that
00:05:02.496 --> 00:05:03.263
Grace did that much more abound.
00:05:03.330 --> 00:05:04.098
Much more abound. i've tried him and his favor
00:05:04.164 --> 00:05:06.100
I've tried him and his favor is unmerited.
00:05:06.166 --> 00:05:07.134
Is unmerited. i've tried him and his joy

Of david's confidence and in spite of god's record,
00:05:41.368 --> 00:05:46.173
And in spite of god's record, there's still people
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:46.840
There's still people who don't trust god.
00:05:46.907 --> 00:05:49.410
Who don't trust god. why?
00:05:49.476 --> 00:05:51.979
Why? the reason is because
00:05:52.045 --> 00:05:53.614
The reason is because they've got trust issues.
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.350
They've got trust issues. somewhere in their past
00:05:56.417 --> 00:05:58.085
Somewhere in their past there's an issue in which
00:05:58.152 --> 00:06:00.788
There's an issue in which they trusted in something
00:06:00.854 --> 00:06:02.890
They trusted in something or someone and the pain
00:06:02.956 --> 00:06:06.326
Or someone and the pain that that experience
00:06:06.393 --> 00:06:06.894
That that experience caused them to put up
00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:09.096
Caused them to put up a barrier where they say,
00:06:09.163 --> 00:06:09.730
A barrier where they say, "i'll never do that again."
00:06:09.797 --> 00:06:12.733
"i'll never do that again." they carry the pain
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:13.634
They carry the pain and the betrayal
00:06:13.700 --> 00:06:14.334
And the betrayal of the past disappointment
00:06:14.401 --> 00:06:15.736
Of the past disappointment into the relationship
00:06:15.803 --> 00:06:16.870
Into the relationship that they have with god,
00:06:16.937 --> 00:06:17.838
That they have with god, their father.
00:06:17.905 --> 00:06:19.173
Their father. but what i need you
00:06:19.239 --> 00:06:19.940
But what i need you to understand is that when
00:06:20.007 --> 00:06:20.974
To understand is that when you hold back on trusting god,
00:06:21.041 --> 00:06:23.143
You hold back on trusting god, you're not protecting yourself,
00:06:23.210 --> 00:06:25.078
You're not protecting yourself, you're hurting yourself.
00:06:25.145 --> 00:06:27.748
You're hurting yourself. you are keeping yourself
00:06:27.815 --> 00:06:28.916
You are keeping yourself from enjoying the goodness
00:06:28.982 --> 00:06:30.217
From enjoying the goodness of god in the land
00:06:30.284 --> 00:06:31.218
Of god in the land of the living.
00:06:31.285 --> 00:06:33.587
Of the living. when you hold back
00:06:33.654 --> 00:06:34.455
When you hold back on trusting god,
00:06:34.521 --> 00:06:35.522
On trusting god, you're not keeping
00:06:35.589 --> 00:06:36.323
You're not keeping your soul out of heaven,
00:06:36.390 --> 00:06:37.491
Your soul out of heaven, but you're gonna
00:06:37.558 --> 00:06:37.991
But you're gonna go through hell down here.
00:06:38.058 --> 00:06:40.394
Go through hell down here. why?
00:06:40.461 --> 00:06:42.796
Why? because the bible says
00:06:42.863 --> 00:06:43.730
Because the bible says cast all your cares on him.
00:06:43.797 --> 00:06:48.936
Cast all your cares on him. god wants to carry
00:06:49.002 --> 00:06:49.970
God wants to carry that burden for you.
00:06:50.037 --> 00:06:52.172
That burden for you. but when you keep it,
00:06:52.239 --> 00:06:53.507
But when you keep it, what you're telling god is,
00:06:53.574 --> 00:06:54.775
What you're telling god is, "i don't think you can
00:06:54.842 --> 00:06:55.776
"i don't think you can handle this,
00:06:55.843 --> 00:06:56.777
Handle this, i'll just carry it myself."
00:06:56.844 --> 00:07:00.180
I'll just carry it myself." psalm 55:22,
00:07:00.247 --> 00:07:01.849
Psalm 55:22, "cast your burden on the lord.
00:07:01.915 --> 00:07:03.851
"cast your burden on the lord. he will sustain you."
00:07:03.917 --> 00:07:06.787
He will sustain you." 1 peter 5 is
00:07:06.854 --> 00:07:08.388
1 peter 5 is a new testament verse
00:07:08.455 --> 00:07:09.490
A new testament verse that echoes what psalm 55 said.
00:07:09.556 --> 00:07:11.725
That echoes what psalm 55 said. "cast all your care upon him,
00:07:11.792 --> 00:07:14.127
"cast all your care upon him, for he cares for you."
00:07:14.194 --> 00:07:17.231
For he cares for you." david said,
00:07:17.297 --> 00:07:17.898
David said, "look at how good
00:07:17.965 --> 00:07:19.099
"look at how good god has been.
00:07:19.166 --> 00:07:19.900
God has been. blessed is the man
00:07:19.967 --> 00:07:21.802
Blessed is the man who trusts in him."
00:07:21.869 --> 00:07:24.137
Who trusts in him." psalm 34:8,
00:07:24.204 --> 00:07:25.639
Psalm 34:8, that word, "blessed"
00:07:25.706 --> 00:07:26.607
That word, "blessed" literally means to be envied.
00:07:26.673 --> 00:07:30.911
Literally means to be envied. said another way,
00:07:30.978 --> 00:07:31.745
Said another way, when you trust in god,
00:07:31.812 --> 00:07:33.146
When you trust in god, other people are gonna see
00:07:33.213 --> 00:07:34.481
Other people are gonna see the benefit of that
00:07:34.548 --> 00:07:35.315
The benefit of that in your life,
00:07:35.382 --> 00:07:36.049
In your life, and they're gonna
00:07:36.116 --> 00:07:36.617
And they're gonna wanna be like you.
00:07:36.683 --> 00:07:40.854
Wanna be like you. when you don't trust the lord,
00:07:40.921 --> 00:07:42.222
When you don't trust the lord, you keep carrying what
00:07:42.289 --> 00:07:43.290
You keep carrying what god wants to carry for you.
00:07:43.357 --> 00:07:45.592
God wants to carry for you. when you don't trust the lord
00:07:45.659 --> 00:07:46.760
When you don't trust the lord you forfeit the direction
00:07:46.827 --> 00:07:48.762
You forfeit the direction that god wants to give you.
00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:50.864
That god wants to give you. proverbs 3:5,
00:07:50.931 --> 00:07:52.599
Proverbs 3:5, "trust in the lord with all
00:07:52.666 --> 00:07:53.567
"trust in the lord with all of your heart and he will
00:07:53.634 --> 00:07:55.569
Of your heart and he will direct your path."
00:07:55.636 --> 00:07:58.405
Direct your path." you don't trust him?
00:07:58.472 --> 00:07:59.506
You don't trust him? you don't follow him.
00:07:59.573 --> 00:08:00.407
You don't follow him. you don't follow him,
00:08:00.474 --> 00:08:01.275
You don't follow him, you don't get his direction.
00:08:01.341 --> 00:08:03.443
You don't get his direction. david said,
00:08:03.510 --> 00:08:04.211
David said, "taste and see."
00:08:04.278 --> 00:08:05.546
"taste and see." he said, "i dare you,
00:08:05.612 --> 00:08:07.114
He said, "i dare you, take the opportunity to try god,
00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:10.083
Take the opportunity to try god, trust in him and see if he
00:08:10.150 --> 00:08:11.985
Trust in him and see if he won't give you joy that
00:08:12.052 --> 00:08:13.420
Won't give you joy that makes you rich
00:08:13.487 --> 00:08:14.421
Makes you rich and adds no sorrow.
00:08:14.488 --> 00:08:15.656
And adds no sorrow. try him and see if instead
00:08:15.722 --> 00:08:17.758
Try him and see if instead of fear he doesn't give you
00:08:17.824 --> 00:08:19.126
Of fear he doesn't give you a spirit of power
00:08:19.192 --> 00:08:20.327
A spirit of power and love and sound mind.
00:08:20.394 --> 00:08:22.062
And love and sound mind. try him, and instead
00:08:22.129 --> 00:08:23.497
Try him, and instead of loneliness and rejection,
00:08:23.564 --> 00:08:25.299
Of loneliness and rejection, see if you don't
00:08:25.365 --> 00:08:26.066
See if you don't find a friend that sticks
00:08:26.133 --> 00:08:27.234
Find a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
00:08:27.301 --> 00:08:28.669
Closer than a brother. try him,
00:08:28.735 --> 00:08:29.803
Try him, and instead of disappointment
00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:30.737
And instead of disappointment and despair,
00:08:30.804 --> 00:08:31.705
And despair, he shows you exceedingly
00:08:31.772 --> 00:08:33.473
He shows you exceedingly and abundantly above all
00:08:33.540 --> 00:08:34.875
And abundantly above all that you could ever ask,
00:08:34.942 --> 00:08:36.109
That you could ever ask, think or imagine.
00:08:36.176 --> 00:08:37.411
Think or imagine. try him,
00:08:37.477 --> 00:08:38.278
Try him, and instead of tragedy,
00:08:38.345 --> 00:08:39.546
And instead of tragedy, he'll give you triumph.
00:08:39.613 --> 00:08:41.014
He'll give you triumph. because whatever you do,
00:08:41.081 --> 00:08:42.549
Because whatever you do, know this,
00:08:42.616 --> 00:08:43.383
Know this, god will not fail you."
00:08:43.450 --> 00:08:46.420
God will not fail you." give the lord
00:08:46.486 --> 00:08:47.220
Give the lord a handclap of praise.
00:08:47.287 --> 00:08:48.221
[cheering and applause]
00:08:48.889 --> 00:08:52.326
People hear bible promises
00:08:54.595 --> 00:08:56.597
People hear bible promises and proclamations like this
00:08:56.663 --> 00:08:58.332
And proclamations like this and they get that little snarky,
00:08:58.398 --> 00:09:00.901
And they get that little snarky, spiritual, snotty thing.
00:09:00.968 --> 00:09:04.905
Spiritual, snotty thing. they say, "well, are you saying
00:09:04.972 --> 00:09:08.475
They say, "well, are you saying that if i trust in jesus
00:09:08.542 --> 00:09:09.977
That if i trust in jesus i'll never struggle?
00:09:10.043 --> 00:09:13.013
I'll never struggle? are you one of those
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:13.747
Are you one of those positive people?"
00:09:13.814 --> 00:09:18.452
Positive people?" and they think
00:09:18.518 --> 00:09:19.119
And they think they sound spiritual.
00:09:19.186 --> 00:09:22.656
They sound spiritual. no.
00:09:22.723 --> 00:09:24.891
No. that's not what i'm saying.
00:09:24.958 --> 00:09:27.928
That's not what i'm saying. when you trust in jesus,
00:09:27.995 --> 00:09:29.096
When you trust in jesus, it doesn't mean that life
00:09:29.162 --> 00:09:30.063
It doesn't mean that life is all sunshine and rainbows.
00:09:30.130 --> 00:09:32.466
Is all sunshine and rainbows. anybody who gives you that
00:09:32.532 --> 00:09:33.700
Anybody who gives you that promise of sunshine
00:09:33.767 --> 00:09:34.635
Promise of sunshine and rainbows,
00:09:34.701 --> 00:09:35.402
And rainbows, they are lying.
00:09:35.469 --> 00:09:37.771
They are lying. look at what david said,
00:09:37.838 --> 00:09:39.072
Look at what david said, psalm 34:19.
00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:41.608
Psalm 34:19. he didn't say sunshine
00:09:41.675 --> 00:09:42.743
He didn't say sunshine and rainbows,
00:09:42.809 --> 00:09:43.477
And rainbows, he said,
00:09:43.543 --> 00:09:44.077
He said, "many are the afflictions
00:09:44.144 --> 00:09:47.280
"many are the afflictions of the righteous."
00:09:47.347 --> 00:09:49.850
Of the righteous." that's hard to sell, guys.
00:09:49.916 --> 00:09:52.386
That's hard to sell, guys. hey, come to church.
00:09:52.452 --> 00:09:53.587
Hey, come to church. many are the afflictions
00:09:53.654 --> 00:09:54.554
Many are the afflictions of the righteous.
00:09:54.621 --> 00:09:55.255
[laughter]
00:09:55.656 --> 00:09:59.459
But that's just the first
00:09:59.993 --> 00:10:00.727
But that's just the first half of the verse.
00:10:00.794 --> 00:10:01.628
Half of the verse. "many are the afflictions
00:10:01.695 --> 00:10:04.064
"many are the afflictions of the righteous,"
00:10:04.131 --> 00:10:05.065
Of the righteous," read the next three
00:10:05.132 --> 00:10:06.133
Read the next three words with me,
00:10:06.199 --> 00:10:07.167
Words with me, "but the lord."
00:10:07.234 --> 00:10:09.403
"but the lord." say it again,
00:10:09.469 --> 00:10:10.370
Say it again, "but the lord."
00:10:10.437 --> 00:10:12.172
"but the lord." say it one more time,
00:10:12.239 --> 00:10:13.440
Say it one more time, "but the lord, he delivers
00:10:13.507 --> 00:10:16.076
"but the lord, he delivers them out of them all."
00:10:16.143 --> 00:10:19.946
Them out of them all." give the lord
00:10:20.013 --> 00:10:21.048
Give the lord a handclap of praise.
00:10:21.114 --> 00:10:22.015
[applause]
00:10:22.315 --> 00:11:20.240
[applause] [applause]
00:11:20.307 --> 00:11:22.142
But what you need to know
00:11:22.843 --> 00:11:23.577
But what you need to know about this time in david's life
00:11:23.643 --> 00:11:25.045
About this time in david's life is he's not telling us
00:11:25.112 --> 00:11:26.513
Is he's not telling us to trust god when he's got
00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.081
To trust god when he's got everything going for him.
00:11:28.148 --> 00:11:30.884
Everything going for him. he's not telling us to trust god
00:11:30.951 --> 00:11:32.719
He's not telling us to trust god when he's the king sitting
00:11:32.786 --> 00:11:33.987
When he's the king sitting in the palace and he's got
00:11:34.054 --> 00:11:35.021
In the palace and he's got servants bringing him iced tea
00:11:35.088 --> 00:11:36.890
Servants bringing him iced tea in the afternoon.
00:11:36.957 --> 00:11:40.093
In the afternoon. david was a texan
00:11:40.160 --> 00:11:41.027
David was a texan he drank iced tea.
00:11:41.094 --> 00:11:41.695
He drank iced tea. i don't know
00:11:41.762 --> 00:11:42.262
I don't know if you knew that.
00:11:42.329 --> 00:11:42.863
[laughter]
00:11:43.163 --> 00:11:44.531
David is telling us to trust
00:11:46.466 --> 00:11:49.002
David is telling us to trust the lord whenever
00:11:49.069 --> 00:11:51.238
The lord whenever you're in the lowest
00:11:51.304 --> 00:11:52.072
You're in the lowest part of your life.
00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:54.574
Part of your life. david writes psalm 34 when his
00:11:54.641 --> 00:11:56.910
David writes psalm 34 when his life is spiraling down,
00:11:56.977 --> 00:11:59.312
Life is spiraling down, not going up.
00:11:59.379 --> 00:12:01.848
Not going up. he's not just in a low spot,
00:12:01.915 --> 00:12:03.383
He's not just in a low spot, he's beneath the surface
00:12:03.450 --> 00:12:05.152
He's beneath the surface of the earth, literally.
00:12:05.218 --> 00:12:07.721
Of the earth, literally. he's hiding in a cave.
00:12:07.788 --> 00:12:10.657
He's hiding in a cave. in the old testament,
00:12:10.724 --> 00:12:11.591
In the old testament, it's called the cave of adullam.
00:12:11.658 --> 00:12:14.461
It's called the cave of adullam. here's how david's life
00:12:14.528 --> 00:12:15.662
Here's how david's life has been going lately.
00:12:15.729 --> 00:12:18.732
Has been going lately. samuel comes to his home
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.433
Samuel comes to his home in bethlehem and anoints
00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:21.501
In bethlehem and anoints him king.
00:12:21.568 --> 00:12:23.136
Him king. just a few weeks later,
00:12:23.203 --> 00:12:24.437
Just a few weeks later, he's at a battlefield
00:12:24.504 --> 00:12:25.739
He's at a battlefield and goliath walks out
00:12:25.806 --> 00:12:26.873
And goliath walks out on the field and david
00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:28.141
On the field and david delivers israel from the hand
00:12:28.208 --> 00:12:30.010
Delivers israel from the hand of the giant.
00:12:30.076 --> 00:12:30.744
Of the giant. he kills the giant.
00:12:30.811 --> 00:12:32.112
He kills the giant. he cuts his head off
00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:33.346
He cuts his head off and suddenly he
00:12:33.413 --> 00:12:34.381
And suddenly he is a national hero.
00:12:34.447 --> 00:12:37.284
Is a national hero. they're singing songs
00:12:37.350 --> 00:12:38.485
They're singing songs about david in the street
00:12:38.552 --> 00:12:40.153
About david in the street and everything is going great.
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:42.222
And everything is going great. he goes from the shepherd's
00:12:42.289 --> 00:12:43.356
He goes from the shepherd's field to living with saul
00:12:43.423 --> 00:12:44.991
Field to living with saul in the palace.
00:12:45.058 --> 00:12:45.926
In the palace. he has gotten 100% tax-free
00:12:45.992 --> 00:12:48.461
He has gotten 100% tax-free living for the rest of his life.
00:12:48.528 --> 00:12:51.765
Living for the rest of his life. that's in the bible.
00:12:51.832 --> 00:12:54.301
That's in the bible. if i knew i didn't have
00:12:54.367 --> 00:12:55.101
If i knew i didn't have to pay taxes again,
00:12:55.168 --> 00:12:55.936
To pay taxes again, i'd fight a giant.
00:12:56.002 --> 00:12:56.803
I'd fight a giant. bring him out.
00:12:56.870 --> 00:12:57.437
Bring him out. come on, let's go.
00:12:57.504 --> 00:12:58.104
[laughter]
00:12:58.438 --> 00:13:00.540
Everything is going david's way.
00:13:03.276 --> 00:13:05.011
Everything is going david's way. but suddenly king saul gets
00:13:05.078 --> 00:13:07.414
But suddenly king saul gets a paranoid spirit,
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:08.281
A paranoid spirit, and in his paranoia,
00:13:08.348 --> 00:13:09.783
And in his paranoia, he turns on david
00:13:09.850 --> 00:13:11.651
He turns on david and now david is fleeing
00:13:11.718 --> 00:13:13.086
And now david is fleeing for his life.
00:13:13.153 --> 00:13:13.854
For his life. everything was fabulous
00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:15.322
Everything was fabulous and now it's all falling apart.
00:13:15.388 --> 00:13:17.757
And now it's all falling apart. have you ever had one of those
00:13:17.824 --> 00:13:18.758
Have you ever had one of those seasons where fabulous
00:13:18.825 --> 00:13:20.227
Seasons where fabulous fell apart?
00:13:20.293 --> 00:13:22.996
Fell apart? what you thought would happen
00:13:23.063 --> 00:13:24.297
What you thought would happen was the last thing
00:13:24.364 --> 00:13:25.098
Was the last thing that happened?
00:13:25.165 --> 00:13:27.667
That happened? david runs for his life.
00:13:27.734 --> 00:13:29.135
David runs for his life. he leaves the palace
00:13:29.202 --> 00:13:30.303
He leaves the palace and everywhere he turns,
00:13:30.370 --> 00:13:31.671
And everywhere he turns, all he finds is more trouble.
00:13:31.738 --> 00:13:33.206
All he finds is more trouble. have you ever been looking
00:13:33.273 --> 00:13:34.207
Have you ever been looking for relief and all you
00:13:34.274 --> 00:13:35.208
For relief and all you found was more trouble?
00:13:35.275 --> 00:13:38.345
Found was more trouble? so david runs
00:13:38.411 --> 00:13:39.145
So david runs to the judean desert,
00:13:39.212 --> 00:13:40.247
To the judean desert, where he hid as a shepherd boy
00:13:40.313 --> 00:13:42.315
Where he hid as a shepherd boy in his childhood.
00:13:42.382 --> 00:13:43.984
In his childhood. it's dry and it's an arid
00:13:44.050 --> 00:13:45.652
It's dry and it's an arid and it's a desolate place,
00:13:45.719 --> 00:13:47.854
And it's a desolate place, but he knows that
00:13:47.921 --> 00:13:48.722
But he knows that there in that desert
00:13:48.788 --> 00:13:49.723
There in that desert there's multitudes
00:13:49.789 --> 00:13:50.824
There's multitudes of caves and caverns,
00:13:50.891 --> 00:13:52.158
Of caves and caverns, and if he needs to move
00:13:52.225 --> 00:13:53.493
And if he needs to move from place to place,
00:13:53.560 --> 00:13:54.561
From place to place, he can at least protect himself
00:13:54.628 --> 00:13:56.429
He can at least protect himself because he'll
00:13:56.496 --> 00:13:57.030
Because he'll be hard to find.
00:13:57.097 --> 00:13:59.332
Be hard to find. david is in trouble,
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:03.303
David is in trouble, and it's not where
00:14:03.370 --> 00:14:04.037
And it's not where he thought he'd be.
00:14:04.104 --> 00:14:05.605
He thought he'd be. he's in the cave.
00:14:05.672 --> 00:14:07.741
He's in the cave. he runs to the rocky hillsides
00:14:07.807 --> 00:14:09.276
He runs to the rocky hillsides of the judean desert.
00:14:09.342 --> 00:14:12.445
Of the judean desert. this is not what
00:14:12.512 --> 00:14:13.313
This is not what he was anointed for.
00:14:13.380 --> 00:14:15.615
He was anointed for. this is not the throne room.
00:14:15.682 --> 00:14:18.118
This is not the throne room. "this is not the palace
00:14:18.184 --> 00:14:19.219
"this is not the palace you promised me, god."
00:14:19.286 --> 00:14:21.488
You promised me, god." hey, when i signed up
00:14:21.554 --> 00:14:23.256
Hey, when i signed up for that class,
00:14:23.323 --> 00:14:24.291
For that class, this was not the diploma
00:14:24.357 --> 00:14:25.458
This was not the diploma that i wanted to get.
00:14:25.525 --> 00:14:28.762
That i wanted to get. and here david sits at
00:14:28.828 --> 00:14:30.463
And here david sits at the lowest point of his life,
00:14:30.530 --> 00:14:32.866
The lowest point of his life, and rather than complain
00:14:32.933 --> 00:14:34.100
And rather than complain and whine about
00:14:34.167 --> 00:14:34.701
And whine about what's going on,
00:14:34.768 --> 00:14:35.568
What's going on, he demonstrates
00:14:35.635 --> 00:14:36.536
He demonstrates the kind of character that
00:14:36.603 --> 00:14:37.704
The kind of character that pulls him back into alignment
00:14:37.771 --> 00:14:39.606
Pulls him back into alignment with the god that he trusts in.
00:14:39.673 --> 00:14:42.342
With the god that he trusts in. and he demonstrates by his words
00:14:42.409 --> 00:14:44.210
And he demonstrates by his words and by his actions that even
00:14:44.277 --> 00:14:46.746
And by his actions that even when things don't seem
00:14:46.813 --> 00:14:48.148
When things don't seem to make sense in his life,
00:14:48.214 --> 00:14:49.816
To make sense in his life, he still believes that
00:14:49.883 --> 00:14:51.117
He still believes that god's promise is true.
00:14:51.184 --> 00:14:53.286
God's promise is true. and he starts this
00:14:53.353 --> 00:14:54.154
And he starts this testimony this way.
00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:55.655
Testimony this way. he said,
00:14:55.722 --> 00:14:56.089
He said, "i will bless
00:14:56.156 --> 00:14:56.923
"i will bless the lord at all times.
00:14:56.990 --> 00:14:58.758
The lord at all times. his praise shall continually
00:14:58.825 --> 00:15:01.461
His praise shall continually be in my mouth."
00:15:01.528 --> 00:15:04.297
Be in my mouth." what david is letting us know
00:15:04.364 --> 00:15:05.665
What david is letting us know is that praise is powerful.
00:15:05.732 --> 00:15:09.502
Is that praise is powerful. and the reason praise
00:15:09.569 --> 00:15:10.904
And the reason praise is the word that's used here
00:15:10.971 --> 00:15:12.205
Is the word that's used here is because praise
00:15:12.272 --> 00:15:13.606
Is because praise is intentional.
00:15:13.673 --> 00:15:14.908
Is intentional. sometimes people wanna
00:15:14.975 --> 00:15:15.809
Sometimes people wanna confuse praise and worship,
00:15:15.875 --> 00:15:17.911
Confuse praise and worship, but the truth is
00:15:17.978 --> 00:15:18.745
But the truth is they're very different things.
00:15:18.812 --> 00:15:20.747
They're very different things. praise is a celebration,
00:15:20.814 --> 00:15:22.682
Praise is a celebration, worship is a solemn seeking.
00:15:22.749 --> 00:15:26.219
Worship is a solemn seeking. praise is joyful,
00:15:26.286 --> 00:15:27.954
Praise is joyful, worship is heavy.
00:15:28.021 --> 00:15:30.957
Worship is heavy. praise is something
00:15:31.024 --> 00:15:32.392
Praise is something that you do with shouts,
00:15:32.459 --> 00:15:34.194
That you do with shouts, with hands waving,
00:15:34.260 --> 00:15:35.362
With hands waving, with hands clapping.
00:15:35.428 --> 00:15:37.731
With hands clapping. some of you don't feel
00:15:37.797 --> 00:15:38.565
Some of you don't feel like praising god because
00:15:38.631 --> 00:15:40.367
Like praising god because it was a hard week.
00:15:40.433 --> 00:15:42.969
It was a hard week. "you don't know what
00:15:43.036 --> 00:15:43.570
"you don't know what i went through.
00:15:43.636 --> 00:15:45.005
I went through. pipes busted on monday,
00:15:45.071 --> 00:15:47.173
Pipes busted on monday, plumber canceled on tuesday,
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.642
Plumber canceled on tuesday, toddler threw up on wednesday."
00:15:49.709 --> 00:15:53.513
Toddler threw up on wednesday." those aren't hard things.
00:15:53.580 --> 00:15:54.647
Those aren't hard things. they're expected, all right?
00:15:54.714 --> 00:15:59.019
They're expected, all right? just gonna tell you,
00:15:59.085 --> 00:15:59.986
Just gonna tell you, some stuff you just
00:16:00.053 --> 00:16:00.520
Some stuff you just gonna have to get over.
00:16:00.587 --> 00:16:04.457
Gonna have to get over. but even if you did have
00:16:04.524 --> 00:16:05.392
But even if you did have the hardest week that
00:16:05.458 --> 00:16:06.192
The hardest week that you've ever lived through,
00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:07.494
You've ever lived through, here's what the bible says
00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:08.461
Here's what the bible says in the book of isaiah,
00:16:08.528 --> 00:16:09.496
In the book of isaiah, "put on the garment
00:16:09.562 --> 00:16:11.097
"put on the garment of praise for the spirit
00:16:11.164 --> 00:16:14.634
Of praise for the spirit of heaviness."
00:16:14.701 --> 00:16:16.036
Of heaviness." if you've had a heavy week
00:16:16.102 --> 00:16:17.670
If you've had a heavy week the best way to get out
00:16:17.737 --> 00:16:18.905
The best way to get out from underneath the weight
00:16:18.972 --> 00:16:20.040
From underneath the weight of it is just say,
00:16:20.106 --> 00:16:21.041
Of it is just say, "god, i thank you that you've
00:16:21.107 --> 00:16:22.575
"god, i thank you that you've still got a plan for me.
00:16:22.642 --> 00:16:23.877
Still got a plan for me. i praise you because
00:16:23.943 --> 00:16:25.245
I praise you because you've never failed me.
00:16:25.311 --> 00:16:26.479
You've never failed me. i'm looking forward to what
00:16:26.546 --> 00:16:27.747
I'm looking forward to what my future holds because i don't
00:16:27.814 --> 00:16:29.749
My future holds because i don't know what tomorrow holds,
00:16:29.816 --> 00:16:31.751
Know what tomorrow holds, but i do know who
00:16:31.818 --> 00:16:32.752
But i do know who holds my tomorrow,
00:16:32.819 --> 00:16:34.020
Holds my tomorrow, and that's the king above kings,
00:16:34.087 --> 00:16:35.889
And that's the king above kings, and the lord above lords,
00:16:35.955 --> 00:16:37.290
And the lord above lords, and he is great,
00:16:37.357 --> 00:16:38.625
And he is great, and he is greatly
00:16:38.691 --> 00:16:39.692
And he is greatly to be praised."
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.427
[cheering and applause]
00:16:40.794 --> 00:16:45.999
David said you wanna
00:16:46.366 --> 00:16:46.933
David said you wanna get in alignment?
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:47.801
Get in alignment? you better praise god
00:16:47.867 --> 00:16:49.169
You better praise god because praise is god's address.
00:16:49.235 --> 00:16:52.338
Because praise is god's address. the lord inhabits the praises
00:16:52.405 --> 00:16:55.108
The lord inhabits the praises of his people.
00:16:55.175 --> 00:16:55.842
Of his people. when you start praising god,
00:16:55.909 --> 00:16:57.043
When you start praising god, god says,
00:16:57.110 --> 00:16:57.644
God says, "i'm gonna come down
00:16:57.710 --> 00:16:58.545
"i'm gonna come down from heaven and spend
00:16:58.611 --> 00:16:59.546
From heaven and spend a little time with them."
00:16:59.612 --> 00:17:02.415
A little time with them." praise is not only
00:17:02.482 --> 00:17:03.349
Praise is not only god's address,
00:17:03.416 --> 00:17:04.284
God's address, but praise is not conditional.
00:17:04.350 --> 00:17:07.787
But praise is not conditional. god doesn't get praise
00:17:07.854 --> 00:17:09.055
God doesn't get praise when you feel like it,
00:17:09.122 --> 00:17:10.090
When you feel like it, god gets praise
00:17:10.156 --> 00:17:11.024
God gets praise because god is god.
00:17:11.091 --> 00:17:13.760
Because god is god. that's why the bible says
00:17:13.827 --> 00:17:14.761
That's why the bible says that you enter into his gates
00:17:14.828 --> 00:17:16.463
That you enter into his gates with thanksgiving
00:17:16.529 --> 00:17:17.497
With thanksgiving and into his courts with what?
00:17:17.564 --> 00:17:19.432
And into his courts with what? praise.
00:17:19.499 --> 00:17:21.267
Praise. praise is also contagious.
00:17:21.334 --> 00:17:24.571
Praise is also contagious. when you're around
00:17:24.637 --> 00:17:25.271
When you're around somebody who's praising,
00:17:25.338 --> 00:17:28.141
Somebody who's praising, you kind of get excited
00:17:28.208 --> 00:17:29.008
You kind of get excited about it too.
00:17:29.075 --> 00:17:31.044
About it too. praise is an outward expression
00:17:31.111 --> 00:17:33.279
Praise is an outward expression of who and what
00:17:33.346 --> 00:17:34.047
Of who and what you're in favor of.
00:17:34.114 --> 00:17:35.982
You're in favor of. and when you come to church
00:17:36.049 --> 00:17:37.984
And when you come to church and you praise the lord,
00:17:38.051 --> 00:17:39.619
And you praise the lord, what you're doing is
00:17:39.686 --> 00:17:40.420
What you're doing is you're telling the world,
00:17:40.487 --> 00:17:41.354
You're telling the world, "i'm in favor of king jesus.
00:17:41.421 --> 00:17:44.157
"i'm in favor of king jesus. he's been everything to me.
00:17:44.224 --> 00:17:46.059
He's been everything to me. i'm in favor of his promises
00:17:46.126 --> 00:17:48.595
I'm in favor of his promises because they've never failed me.
00:17:48.661 --> 00:17:50.096
Because they've never failed me. i'm in favor of his goodness
00:17:50.163 --> 00:17:51.965
I'm in favor of his goodness and his mercy in my life
00:17:52.031 --> 00:17:53.433
And his mercy in my life because he's done more for me
00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:55.502
Because he's done more for me than anyone who ever could."
00:17:55.568 --> 00:17:57.070
[cheering and applause]
00:17:57.403 --> 00:18:01.007
And still some of you
00:18:01.841 --> 00:18:06.913
And still some of you "tell me what to do."
00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:09.349
"tell me what to do." i didn't,
00:18:09.415 --> 00:18:11.951
I didn't, i'm just reading
00:18:12.018 --> 00:18:12.685
I'm just reading from the playbook.
00:18:12.752 --> 00:18:15.188
From the playbook. and the playbook says,
00:18:15.255 --> 00:18:16.122
And the playbook says, "o, clap your hands,
00:18:16.189 --> 00:18:17.857
"o, clap your hands, all ye people,
00:18:17.924 --> 00:18:19.292
All ye people, and shout unto god
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.326
And shout unto god with a voice of triumph."
00:18:20.393 --> 00:18:21.327
[cheering]
00:18:21.628 --> 00:18:22.262
The bible says,
00:18:22.595 --> 00:18:23.396
The bible says, "enter into his gates
00:18:23.463 --> 00:18:24.531
"enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
00:18:24.597 --> 00:18:25.398
With thanksgiving, and into his courts
00:18:25.465 --> 00:18:26.232
And into his courts with praise.
00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:26.866
With praise. lift up holy hands
00:18:26.933 --> 00:18:28.668
Lift up holy hands without fear of wrath."
00:18:28.735 --> 00:18:30.270
Without fear of wrath." give god a shout for his
00:18:30.336 --> 00:18:32.272
Give god a shout for his goodness and his mercy
00:18:32.338 --> 00:18:33.907
Goodness and his mercy and his grace.
00:18:33.973 --> 00:18:35.108
And his grace. "o, magnify the lord with me,
00:18:35.175 --> 00:18:38.178
"o, magnify the lord with me, and let us exalt
00:18:38.244 --> 00:18:39.946
And let us exalt his name together."
00:18:40.013 --> 00:18:42.415
His name together." give the lord a shout
00:18:42.482 --> 00:18:43.616
Give the lord a shout of praise in his house.
00:18:43.683 --> 00:18:44.517
[cheering and applause]
00:18:44.918 --> 00:18:50.356
Praise is contagious
00:18:50.757 --> 00:18:53.493
Praise is contagious because when david started
00:18:53.560 --> 00:18:54.527
Because when david started praising god,
00:18:54.594 --> 00:18:55.361
Praising god, all of those destitute
00:18:55.428 --> 00:18:56.696
All of those destitute and broke people
00:18:56.763 --> 00:18:57.463
And broke people that came to see him,
00:18:57.530 --> 00:18:58.431
That came to see him, suddenly, they started
00:18:58.498 --> 00:18:59.566
Suddenly, they started praising god too.
00:18:59.632 --> 00:19:00.767
Praising god too. and then david in verse 3 says,
00:19:00.833 --> 00:19:02.402
And then david in verse 3 says, "magnify the lord with me."
00:19:02.468 --> 00:19:06.039
"magnify the lord with me." now that word magnify
00:19:06.105 --> 00:19:07.073
Now that word magnify means you make bigger.
00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:09.475
Means you make bigger. and when you start praising god,
00:19:09.542 --> 00:19:11.010
And when you start praising god, what you do is you make god
00:19:11.077 --> 00:19:12.278
What you do is you make god bigger than your problem.
00:19:12.345 --> 00:19:14.380
Bigger than your problem. so stop complaining and whining
00:19:14.447 --> 00:19:16.049
So stop complaining and whining about the world that you live
00:19:16.115 --> 00:19:17.183
About the world that you live in and start talking about
00:19:17.250 --> 00:19:18.551
In and start talking about the god who holds
00:19:18.618 --> 00:19:19.686
The god who holds the mountains in a scale
00:19:19.752 --> 00:19:21.254
The mountains in a scale and calls the stars by name.
00:19:21.321 --> 00:19:23.289
And calls the stars by name. stop worrying about what you
00:19:23.356 --> 00:19:24.757
Stop worrying about what you see going on around you
00:19:24.824 --> 00:19:26.326
See going on around you and recognize that when you
00:19:26.392 --> 00:19:27.694
And recognize that when you see these signs,
00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:29.028
See these signs, lift up your head and rejoice,
00:19:29.095 --> 00:19:30.730
Lift up your head and rejoice, for your redemption
00:19:30.797 --> 00:19:32.065
For your redemption draweth nigh.
00:19:32.131 --> 00:19:33.199
Draweth nigh. child of god,
00:19:33.266 --> 00:19:34.200
Child of god, "do not worry because
00:19:34.267 --> 00:19:35.902
"do not worry because if he clothed the lilies
00:19:35.969 --> 00:19:37.337
If he clothed the lilies of the valley and if he fed
00:19:37.403 --> 00:19:38.771
Of the valley and if he fed the birds of the air,
00:19:38.838 --> 00:19:40.106
The birds of the air, how much more
00:19:40.173 --> 00:19:41.307
How much more will he do for you?
00:19:41.374 --> 00:19:43.243
Will he do for you? seek first his kingdom and all
00:19:43.309 --> 00:19:45.678
Seek first his kingdom and all of these things shall
00:19:45.745 --> 00:19:46.946
Of these things shall be added unto you."
00:19:47.013 --> 00:19:48.181
Be added unto you." give the lord
00:19:48.248 --> 00:19:49.215
Give the lord a handclap of praise.
00:19:49.282 --> 00:19:50.316
[applause]
00:19:50.617 --> 00:19:57.657
People hear preaching like
00:19:58.658 --> 00:19:59.859
People hear preaching like this and they wanna
00:19:59.926 --> 00:20:00.627
This and they wanna sound spiritual,
00:20:00.693 --> 00:20:01.561
Sound spiritual, so they say things like,
00:20:01.628 --> 00:20:03.062
So they say things like, "well, pastor, i'm a realist."
00:20:03.129 --> 00:20:07.033
"well, pastor, i'm a realist." you're not a realist,
00:20:07.100 --> 00:20:07.900
You're not a realist, you're a sourpuss.
00:20:07.967 --> 00:20:11.638
You're a sourpuss. that's what you really are.
00:20:11.704 --> 00:20:15.775
That's what you really are. david's a realist.
00:20:15.842 --> 00:20:18.278
David's a realist. david's not denying anything.
00:20:18.344 --> 00:20:21.447
David's not denying anything. he's not saying i'm not
00:20:21.514 --> 00:20:22.215
He's not saying i'm not in a low spot,
00:20:22.282 --> 00:20:24.751
In a low spot, he's not saying he's got
00:20:24.817 --> 00:20:25.652
He's not saying he's got it all figured out.
00:20:25.718 --> 00:20:28.087
It all figured out. he's saying,
00:20:28.154 --> 00:20:28.721
He's saying, "in spite of where i am,
00:20:28.788 --> 00:20:30.390
"in spite of where i am, i'm gonna celebrate
00:20:30.456 --> 00:20:31.357
I'm gonna celebrate where i'm going."
00:20:31.424 --> 00:20:34.961
Where i'm going." and we hear this in
00:20:35.028 --> 00:20:35.995
And we hear this in verse 4, he said,
00:20:36.062 --> 00:20:36.929
Verse 4, he said, "i sought the lord
00:20:36.996 --> 00:20:39.799
"i sought the lord and he heard me
00:20:39.866 --> 00:20:42.101
And he heard me and he delivered me
00:20:42.168 --> 00:20:44.270
And he delivered me from all of my fears."
00:20:44.337 --> 00:20:48.007
From all of my fears." if david wasn't a realist,
00:20:48.074 --> 00:20:49.709
If david wasn't a realist, he wouldn't say "i'm not --"
00:20:49.776 --> 00:20:50.710
He wouldn't say "i'm not --" he'd say, "i'm not afraid."
00:20:50.777 --> 00:20:52.745
He'd say, "i'm not afraid." no, he says, "i'm afraid.
00:20:52.812 --> 00:20:54.947
No, he says, "i'm afraid. i'm afraid of saul,
00:20:55.014 --> 00:20:56.015
I'm afraid of saul, i'm afraid of my enemies,
00:20:56.082 --> 00:20:57.383
I'm afraid of my enemies, i'm afraid of my lack,
00:20:57.450 --> 00:20:58.885
I'm afraid of my lack, i'm afraid of everything
00:20:58.951 --> 00:21:00.320
I'm afraid of everything that's around me.
00:21:00.386 --> 00:21:01.187
That's around me. there's nothing that
00:21:01.254 --> 00:21:02.088
There's nothing that i should trust in,
00:21:02.155 --> 00:21:03.189
I should trust in, but when i trust in god,
00:21:03.256 --> 00:21:05.158
But when i trust in god, when i seek him,
00:21:05.224 --> 00:21:06.659
When i seek him, he hears me."
00:21:06.726 --> 00:21:08.261
He hears me." and even though i've got fear,
00:21:08.328 --> 00:21:10.229
And even though i've got fear, what i find out is that god
00:21:10.296 --> 00:21:12.065
What i find out is that god is greater than every
00:21:12.131 --> 00:21:13.499
Is greater than every one of my fears.
00:21:13.566 --> 00:21:15.902
One of my fears. now here's some things
00:21:15.968 --> 00:21:16.636
Now here's some things you need to know,
00:21:16.703 --> 00:21:17.403
You need to know, until you seek him
00:21:17.470 --> 00:21:18.805
Until you seek him he can't hear you.
00:21:18.871 --> 00:21:22.475
He can't hear you. look at the progression.
00:21:22.542 --> 00:21:23.509
Look at the progression. david sought the lord
00:21:23.576 --> 00:21:24.911
David sought the lord then the lord heard him.
00:21:24.977 --> 00:21:27.647
Then the lord heard him. god knew right where david
00:21:27.714 --> 00:21:28.748
God knew right where david was but god needed to hear
00:21:28.815 --> 00:21:30.249
Was but god needed to hear where david's heart was at.
00:21:30.316 --> 00:21:33.586
Where david's heart was at. and when david said,
00:21:33.653 --> 00:21:34.153
And when david said, "i need you," god said,
00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:35.254
"i need you," god said, "i'm right there."
00:21:35.321 --> 00:21:37.824
"i'm right there." he said,
00:21:37.890 --> 00:21:38.224
He said, "what do you need?"
00:21:38.291 --> 00:21:39.859
"what do you need?" he said,
00:21:39.926 --> 00:21:40.126
He said, "i need you to make a way,"
00:21:40.193 --> 00:21:41.027
"i need you to make a way," he said,
00:21:41.094 --> 00:21:41.461
He said, "i'll make a way."
00:21:41.527 --> 00:21:42.161
"i'll make a way." he said, "i need deliverance."
00:21:42.228 --> 00:21:43.062
He said, "i need deliverance." he said, "i'll deliver."
00:21:43.129 --> 00:21:43.830
He said, "i'll deliver." he said,
00:21:43.896 --> 00:21:44.297
He said, "i need you to redeem."
00:21:44.364 --> 00:21:45.164
"i need you to redeem." he said, "i'll redeem."
00:21:45.231 --> 00:21:45.865
He said, "i'll redeem." "i need you to restore."
00:21:45.932 --> 00:21:46.699
"i need you to restore." "i'll restore."
00:21:46.766 --> 00:21:50.036
"i'll restore." because it doesn't matter
00:21:50.103 --> 00:21:50.837
Because it doesn't matter what you're afraid of,
00:21:50.903 --> 00:21:51.371
What you're afraid of, god is big enough to handle
00:21:51.437 --> 00:21:53.039
God is big enough to handle every one of your fears.
00:21:53.106 --> 00:21:55.341
[applause]
00:21:55.742 --> 00:21:58.845
"how do you know that?"
00:21:59.245 --> 00:22:01.581
"how do you know that?" well the bible says
00:22:01.647 --> 00:22:02.248
Well the bible says that god is not a man,
00:22:02.315 --> 00:22:03.182
That god is not a man, that he should lie.
00:22:03.249 --> 00:22:04.550
That he should lie. he said,
00:22:04.617 --> 00:22:04.951
He said, "call upon me
00:22:05.017 --> 00:22:05.818
"call upon me and i'll answer you
00:22:05.885 --> 00:22:06.686
And i'll answer you and show you great and mighty
00:22:06.753 --> 00:22:07.820
And show you great and mighty things that you know not."
00:22:07.887 --> 00:22:09.389
Things that you know not." jesus said it this way,
00:22:09.455 --> 00:22:10.690
Jesus said it this way, "knock and the door
00:22:10.757 --> 00:22:12.058
"knock and the door will be opened.
00:22:12.125 --> 00:22:12.825
Will be opened. ask and you shall receive."
00:22:12.892 --> 00:22:14.861
Ask and you shall receive." 1 john 5 says,
00:22:14.927 --> 00:22:16.596
1 john 5 says, "now this is the confidence
00:22:16.662 --> 00:22:17.964
"now this is the confidence that we have in him,
00:22:18.030 --> 00:22:19.132
That we have in him, if we ask anything,
00:22:19.198 --> 00:22:22.168
If we ask anything, he hears us."
00:22:22.235 --> 00:22:24.737
He hears us." here's the question,
00:22:24.804 --> 00:22:26.572
Here's the question, what are you seeking?
00:22:26.639 --> 00:22:28.908
What are you seeking? what are you looking at?
00:22:28.975 --> 00:22:31.778
What are you looking at? i believe everyone in this room
00:22:31.844 --> 00:22:33.146
I believe everyone in this room and everyone who's watching
00:22:33.212 --> 00:22:34.013
And everyone who's watching today, you're seeking.
00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:36.916
Today, you're seeking. and if you seek the lord,
00:22:36.983 --> 00:22:38.284
And if you seek the lord, he'll hear you
00:22:38.351 --> 00:22:39.185
He'll hear you and he'll deliver you.
00:22:39.252 --> 00:22:42.221
And he'll deliver you. david builds a little confidence
00:22:42.288 --> 00:22:43.656
David builds a little confidence in the next verse.
00:22:43.723 --> 00:22:44.157
In the next verse. he says, "they looked to him
00:22:44.223 --> 00:22:45.992
He says, "they looked to him and were radiant
00:22:46.058 --> 00:22:47.093
And were radiant and they were not ashamed."
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.328
And they were not ashamed." who is they?
00:22:49.395 --> 00:22:50.363
Who is they? they are the patriarchs
00:22:50.430 --> 00:22:51.798
They are the patriarchs of the past.
00:22:51.864 --> 00:22:53.399
Of the past. david starts looking back
00:22:53.466 --> 00:22:54.767
David starts looking back at history and he says,
00:22:54.834 --> 00:22:56.269
At history and he says, "you know what?
00:22:56.335 --> 00:22:56.769
"you know what? abraham looked to him
00:22:56.836 --> 00:22:58.304
Abraham looked to him and god had a ram
00:22:58.371 --> 00:22:59.672
And god had a ram in the thicket.
00:22:59.739 --> 00:23:00.506
In the thicket. moses looked to him
00:23:00.573 --> 00:23:02.008
Moses looked to him and the red sea parted.
00:23:02.074 --> 00:23:03.309
And the red sea parted. joseph looked to him and went
00:23:03.376 --> 00:23:04.911
Joseph looked to him and went from the pit to the palace.
00:23:04.977 --> 00:23:06.279
From the pit to the palace. joshua looked to him
00:23:06.345 --> 00:23:07.580
Joshua looked to him and the walls of jericho fell.
00:23:07.647 --> 00:23:09.415
And the walls of jericho fell. samson looked to him
00:23:09.482 --> 00:23:11.017
Samson looked to him and conquered his enemies.
00:23:11.083 --> 00:23:12.185
And conquered his enemies. if they looked to him
00:23:12.251 --> 00:23:13.586
If they looked to him and god didn't fail them,
00:23:13.653 --> 00:23:14.954
And god didn't fail them, then when i look to him,
00:23:15.021 --> 00:23:16.322
Then when i look to him, god will not fail me."
00:23:16.389 --> 00:23:17.657
[applause]
00:23:18.257 --> 00:23:24.730
And here's the last bit
00:23:25.164 --> 00:23:25.731
And here's the last bit of his testimony.
00:23:25.798 --> 00:23:29.168
Of his testimony. david gets a breakthrough
00:23:29.235 --> 00:23:30.369
David gets a breakthrough in verse 7 and then he extends
00:23:30.436 --> 00:23:33.005
In verse 7 and then he extends the challenge in verse 8.
00:23:33.072 --> 00:23:34.841
The challenge in verse 8. "taste and see."
00:23:34.907 --> 00:23:37.443
"taste and see." i say this in closing.
00:23:37.510 --> 00:23:40.313
I say this in closing. verse 7 david said,
00:23:40.379 --> 00:23:41.380
Verse 7 david said, "the angel of the lord encamps
00:23:41.447 --> 00:23:46.786
"the angel of the lord encamps around those who fear him,
00:23:46.853 --> 00:23:50.156
Around those who fear him, and he delivers them."
00:23:50.223 --> 00:23:54.227
And he delivers them." what david had done is
00:23:54.293 --> 00:23:55.428
What david had done is he converted his cave into
00:23:55.495 --> 00:23:57.430
He converted his cave into a cathedral,
00:23:57.497 --> 00:23:59.899
A cathedral, because he was willing
00:23:59.966 --> 00:24:00.666
Because he was willing to praise god regardless
00:24:00.733 --> 00:24:02.068
To praise god regardless of his circumstance.
00:24:02.134 --> 00:24:03.803
Of his circumstance. and in the midst of this
00:24:03.870 --> 00:24:04.837
And in the midst of this celebration of praise,
00:24:04.904 --> 00:24:06.439
Celebration of praise, god sent a very special
00:24:06.506 --> 00:24:08.608
God sent a very special being into that cave.
00:24:08.674 --> 00:24:12.111
Being into that cave. and david says it's the angel
00:24:12.178 --> 00:24:13.713
And david says it's the angel of the lord.
00:24:13.779 --> 00:24:15.548
Of the lord. now what you need to understand
00:24:15.615 --> 00:24:16.649
Now what you need to understand is when you read that name
00:24:16.716 --> 00:24:18.384
Is when you read that name in the old testament,
00:24:18.451 --> 00:24:19.719
In the old testament, it's not just an angel.
00:24:19.785 --> 00:24:22.855
It's not just an angel. that name in the old testament
00:24:22.922 --> 00:24:24.724
That name in the old testament is saying that the presence
00:24:24.790 --> 00:24:26.225
Is saying that the presence of christ himself
00:24:26.292 --> 00:24:28.261
Of christ himself is in that space.
00:24:28.327 --> 00:24:30.463
Is in that space. that's jesus before jesus
00:24:30.530 --> 00:24:32.565
That's jesus before jesus put on skin and came
00:24:32.632 --> 00:24:34.433
Put on skin and came and dwelt among us.
00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:35.801
And dwelt among us. so david says,
00:24:35.868 --> 00:24:36.869
So david says, "when i'm at my lowest point,
00:24:36.936 --> 00:24:38.638
"when i'm at my lowest point, if i will get in god's presence
00:24:38.704 --> 00:24:40.640
If i will get in god's presence through praise and i will
00:24:40.706 --> 00:24:42.008
Through praise and i will magnify him instead
00:24:42.074 --> 00:24:43.809
Magnify him instead of my problem,
00:24:43.876 --> 00:24:44.644
Of my problem, if i will humble myself
00:24:44.710 --> 00:24:46.612
If i will humble myself and seek him,
00:24:46.679 --> 00:24:47.580
And seek him, he'll not send somebody,
00:24:47.647 --> 00:24:50.049
He'll not send somebody, he'll show up himself.
00:24:50.116 --> 00:24:52.919
He'll show up himself. he'll be right there beside me.
00:24:52.985 --> 00:24:55.454
He'll be right there beside me. he'll lead me, he'll guide me,
00:24:55.521 --> 00:24:57.690
He'll lead me, he'll guide me, he'll provide for me,
00:24:57.757 --> 00:24:58.991
He'll provide for me, he'll protect me,
00:24:59.058 --> 00:25:00.226
He'll protect me, he'll keep me.
00:25:00.293 --> 00:25:01.527
He'll keep me. he'll watch over me because
00:25:01.594 --> 00:25:03.462
He'll watch over me because he encamps round about me."
00:25:03.529 --> 00:25:05.932
He encamps round about me." that word "encamp"
00:25:05.998 --> 00:25:07.099
That word "encamp" is a military term,
00:25:07.166 --> 00:25:08.367
Is a military term, it means that no weapon
00:25:08.434 --> 00:25:10.336
It means that no weapon formed against you will prosper
00:25:10.403 --> 00:25:13.039
Formed against you will prosper because the angel of the lord
00:25:13.105 --> 00:25:13.940
Because the angel of the lord is your shield.
00:25:14.006 --> 00:25:15.007
Is your shield. it means that no arrow
00:25:15.074 --> 00:25:16.842
It means that no arrow that flies by day will ever
00:25:16.909 --> 00:25:18.778
That flies by day will ever harm you because
00:25:18.844 --> 00:25:19.779
Harm you because he has held you in
00:25:19.845 --> 00:25:21.213
He has held you in the shadow of his wings.
00:25:21.280 --> 00:25:22.181
The shadow of his wings. it means that no plague shall
00:25:22.248 --> 00:25:24.183
It means that no plague shall come near your dwelling
00:25:24.250 --> 00:25:25.284
Come near your dwelling because the lord,
00:25:25.351 --> 00:25:26.285
Because the lord, your god, your healer,
00:25:26.352 --> 00:25:27.887
Your god, your healer, is watching over you.
00:25:27.954 --> 00:25:29.355
Is watching over you. it means that you will never
00:25:29.422 --> 00:25:30.990
It means that you will never suffer or know lack because
00:25:31.057 --> 00:25:32.959
Suffer or know lack because there is abundance in the king
00:25:33.025 --> 00:25:34.660
There is abundance in the king of kings and the lord of lords.
00:25:34.727 --> 00:25:36.395
Of kings and the lord of lords. child of god, if you'll taste
00:25:36.462 --> 00:25:38.397
Child of god, if you'll taste and see that the lord is good,
00:25:38.464 --> 00:25:41.000
And see that the lord is good, he'll feed you from his
00:25:41.067 --> 00:25:42.602
He'll feed you from his banqueting table all
00:25:42.668 --> 00:25:44.403
Banqueting table all the days of your life!
00:25:44.470 --> 00:25:45.972
The days of your life! give the lord
00:25:46.038 --> 00:25:46.772
Give the lord a handclap of praise.
