  • 00:05:34.340 --> 00:05:35.975
  • How important worship is, how that when lucifer
  • 00:05:36.041 --> 00:05:37.777
  • How that when lucifer was cast out of heaven,
  • 00:05:37.843 --> 00:05:40.613
  • Was cast out of heaven, you and i, the high priest
  • 00:05:40.679 --> 00:05:42.681
  • You and i, the high priest in the old testament
  • 00:05:42.748 --> 00:05:43.549
  • In the old testament would wear those same stones
  • 00:05:43.616 --> 00:05:45.584
  • Would wear those same stones on the breastplate
  • 00:05:45.651 --> 00:05:47.119
  • On the breastplate when he would go into
  • 00:05:47.186 --> 00:05:48.053
  • When he would go into the holy of holies,
  • 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.055
  • The holy of holies, because we are
  • 00:05:50.122 --> 00:05:51.791
  • Because we are satan's replacement,
  • 00:05:51.857 --> 00:05:53.325
  • Satan's replacement, we are lucifer,
  • 00:05:53.392 --> 00:05:54.593
  • We are lucifer, the light bearer's replacement.
  • 00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:56.262
  • The light bearer's replacement. when we sing,
  • 00:05:56.328 --> 00:05:57.229
  • When we sing, and when we worship,
  • 00:05:57.296 --> 00:05:58.197
  • And when we worship, and when we praise,
  • 00:05:58.264 --> 00:05:59.532
  • And when we praise, and when we speak
  • 00:05:59.598 --> 00:06:00.266
  • And when we speak praise to god,

  • And give him glory, we are literally
  • 00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:06.005
  • We are literally taking his place.
  • 00:06:06.071 --> 00:06:09.809
  • Taking his place. and i'm so thankful today
  • 00:06:09.875 --> 00:06:11.177
  • And i'm so thankful today that whom the son sets free,
  • 00:06:11.243 --> 00:06:13.512
  • That whom the son sets free, is free indeed.

  • And we are set free but we are here for a purpose,
  • 00:06:19.852 --> 00:06:22.888
  • But we are here for a purpose, he did not just save us
  • 00:06:22.955 --> 00:06:24.857
  • He did not just save us to save us.
  • 00:06:24.924 --> 00:06:26.826
  • To save us. as a matter of fact,
  • 00:06:26.892 --> 00:06:27.693
  • As a matter of fact, the bible said
  • 00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:28.461
  • The bible said in 1 peter 2:9,
  • 00:06:28.527 --> 00:06:31.163
  • In 1 peter 2:9, "you are a chosen generation,
  • 00:06:31.230 --> 00:06:34.366

  • A special people in the earth." who's he talking to?
  • 00:06:45.778 --> 00:06:47.112
  • Who's he talking to? the people who have been
  • 00:06:47.179 --> 00:06:48.447
  • The people who have been washed and cleansed
  • 00:06:48.514 --> 00:06:50.082
  • Washed and cleansed and save by the blood

  • And save by the blood of jesus christ.
  • 00:06:51.383 --> 00:06:53.319
  • Of jesus christ. and he says, "here's why

  • Who's called you out of darkness into this marvelous light."
  • 00:07:05.631 --> 00:07:07.433
  • Into this marvelous light." that's not just
  • 00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:08.033
  • That's not just some figure of speech.
  • 00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:09.368
  • Some figure of speech. he said, "there is one purpose

  • That's not who you are, that's not your new identity."
  • 00:08:50.869 --> 00:08:52.338
  • That's not your new identity." and that's a blessing.
  • 00:08:52.404 --> 00:08:55.574
  • And that's a blessing. praise is our purpose.
  • 00:08:55.641 --> 00:08:57.409
  • Praise is our purpose. we were raised to praise.
  • 00:08:57.476 --> 00:09:00.079
  • We were raised to praise. he brought us from death
  • 00:09:00.145 --> 00:09:01.347
  • He brought us from death to life to worship,
  • 00:09:01.413 --> 00:09:02.881
  • To life to worship, and he said,
  • 00:09:02.948 --> 00:09:03.482
  • And he said, "let everything
  • 00:09:03.549 --> 00:09:05.084
  • "let everything that has breath,"
  • 00:09:05.150 --> 00:09:06.485
  • That has breath," psalms 150, "praise the lord."
  • 00:09:06.552 --> 00:09:10.589
  • Psalms 150, "praise the lord." do you know that in
  • 00:09:10.656 --> 00:09:11.190
  • Do you know that in the book of genesis 2,
  • 00:09:11.256 --> 00:09:13.292
  • The book of genesis 2, god breathe breath
  • 00:09:13.359 --> 00:09:14.560
  • God breathe breath into the nostrils of man,
  • 00:09:14.627 --> 00:09:16.195
  • Into the nostrils of man, and he became a living being?
  • 00:09:16.261 --> 00:09:18.030
  • And he became a living being? and then before jesus left on
  • 00:09:18.097 --> 00:09:19.965
  • And then before jesus left on a cloudy elevator
  • 00:09:20.032 --> 00:09:21.100
  • A cloudy elevator and went to heaven,
  • 00:09:21.166 --> 00:09:21.934
  • And went to heaven, the bible said
  • 00:09:22.001 --> 00:09:22.701
  • The bible said he breathe on them and said,
  • 00:09:22.768 --> 00:09:24.770
  • He breathe on them and said, "receive the holy ghost."
  • 00:09:24.837 --> 00:09:27.473
  • "receive the holy ghost." or the holy spirit.
  • 00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:29.608
  • Or the holy spirit. in other words,
  • 00:09:29.675 --> 00:09:30.342
  • In other words, the holy spirit is nothing less
  • 00:09:30.409 --> 00:09:32.544
  • The holy spirit is nothing less than the breath of god.
  • 00:09:32.611 --> 00:09:33.879
  • Than the breath of god. and what he was saying was,
  • 00:09:33.946 --> 00:09:35.447
  • And what he was saying was, "let everything that has
  • 00:09:35.514 --> 00:09:36.815
  • "let everything that has the breath of god in it,
  • 00:09:36.882 --> 00:09:38.484
  • The breath of god in it, those who have been redeemed,
  • 00:09:38.550 --> 00:09:39.985
  • Those who have been redeemed, let them praise the lord
  • 00:09:40.052 --> 00:09:42.588
  • Let them praise the lord with that breath."
  • 00:09:42.655 --> 00:09:44.023
  • With that breath." now, if you don't have
  • 00:09:44.089 --> 00:09:44.957
  • Now, if you don't have the breath of god
  • 00:09:45.024 --> 00:09:46.091
  • The breath of god on your soul,
  • 00:09:46.158 --> 00:09:47.092
  • On your soul, then you sit there,
  • 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:48.527
  • Then you sit there, but if you have
  • 00:09:48.594 --> 00:09:49.628
  • But if you have the breath of god,
  • 00:09:49.695 --> 00:09:50.963
  • The breath of god, that means let everything
  • 00:09:51.030 --> 00:09:54.366
  • That means let everything that has the breath --
  • 00:09:54.433 --> 00:09:56.669
  • That has the breath -- i'm alive today,
  • 00:09:56.735 --> 00:09:58.904
  • I'm alive today, and i'm saved,
  • 00:09:58.971 --> 00:10:00.272

  • You forgot how lost you were, you forgot how
  • 00:10:09.381 --> 00:10:10.616
  • You forgot how hell bound you were,
  • 00:10:10.683 --> 00:10:11.917
  • Hell bound you were, but he reached down

  • To god be the glory! and as long as i have breath,
  • 00:10:17.256 --> 00:10:19.692
  • And as long as i have breath, i'm going to praise him,
  • 00:10:19.758 --> 00:10:21.727
  • I'm going to praise him, how about you?
  • 00:10:21.794 --> 00:10:22.561
  • How about you? [applause]

  • We were liberated to love him. he took those cigarettes
  • 00:10:34.640 --> 00:10:36.175
  • He took those cigarettes out of your hands
  • 00:10:36.241 --> 00:10:37.443
  • Out of your hands so you could clap them

  • He took that weed out of your fingers
  • 00:10:41.814 --> 00:10:42.915
  • Out of your fingers so you could raise them
  • 00:10:42.981 --> 00:10:44.683
  • So you could raise them and say, "i've been delivered."

  • That was so horrible? did he murder masses of people?
  • 00:21:05.837 --> 00:21:10.975
  • Did he murder masses of people? no, his sin was pride,

  • No, his sin was pride, self-exaltation and rebellion,
  • 00:21:14.479 --> 00:21:17.148
  • Self-exaltation and rebellion, that's the inwards sin.

  • Of inward pride and self-exaltation
  • 00:21:22.620 --> 00:21:23.955
  • And self-exaltation was the refusal to worship.
  • 00:21:24.022 --> 00:21:27.992
  • Was the refusal to worship. see, worship is not

  • That you do on the outside, worship is what's on the inside.
  • 00:21:31.963 --> 00:21:34.799
  • Worship is what's on the inside. if you don't have any worship,

  • On the inside, the more your outside
  • 00:21:44.943 --> 00:21:46.778
  • The more your outside wants to express what you feel.
