Worship : Rap

Who knows what we've been sharing about lately?

We're talking a whole lot about words of haven't we? If I go into teaching I want you guys to stretch your hands out with me Ro make a declaration together.

Play Jesus. Thank you for your word. Thank you for transformation. Thank you for revelation. And thank you for what you're doing in my life.

Sophia's that simple You know and I will share and I was thinking about that scripture out here with you guys last week when I feel God put it on my heart to hear he wants us to like really grab this scripture in the Hold On Tight man, cuz it'll be a good ride. Its founding of Romans 8 and verse 32 and 33. But 32 is the one I want you to focus on this is for God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure the gift of his son and says God freely offered him up as a sacrifice for us. All he certainly won't withhold from us anything else. He has to give us where he has to give I want that to get so deep in your spirit that it becomes like second nature to you that have God gave Jesus for us. He's not going to withhold one good thing from you. Unless God to liar. And I don't think he is. I want you to really get that deep in there. Because I'm telling you for workouts taking us. It's going to require that type of faith. Faith that says God is Not withholding. God is going to do big things. I'mma tell you something you can do things in your own strength empowered and you really don't need.

It's just the truth is you can do it in your strength your power. You don't need God. You got it all together. You might say a little prayer to make yourself feel religious, but that's it. You don't need them. When you believe for bigger than what you can do is when you need a big God. You need someone to show up is mightier than you. And we have biblical examples of him showing up in big ways. So he's challenging his people today to believe for bigger and better things.

But I just feel this words bubbling at me.

Like I really feel Papa saying that he's going to begin to restore families. Like there's going to be salvation of families and loved ones. He just wants to demonstrate what he can do. It's not for through your effort is through his power and takes the pressure off of us. Put everything on him like it should be.

We're going to dive right into our sermon today. I can't wait even like this. Do you know I've been trying to teach this thing for like a couple months now and then we go off straight because all this. Just because it take over so much fun. But I just feel Grace to teach this today is going to be great. And if you leave this somewhere different then we're going to follow him, right?

Tegretol by worship rap

I mean we've been diving into worship. So why not worship rap? Because I don't like rap. Who can hang out with me for a little bit?

But last week we talked about Paul and Silas we talked about them being in prison, didn't we? I want to dive back into that story because there's so much good things there that we missed that I want to dive right back into it about Paul and Silas cuz I want us to understand that if we aren't willing to go through. Pain, there's no way that we can access Gulf Power.

If we're not willing to endure then we will never build endurance. No pain no game. I said old time at the gym, dude.

Sometimes I scream out. Yeah, buddy. She got to know Ronnie Coleman is I know Justin does. He's like, yeah.

What are five points that we are diving into worship is? Why were we created? What is worship? Why worship what is worship for and how do we worship now? We already talked about the first three we talk customer number for of what is worship for worship for a job during. That's it. It's a way for us to express our love to me only thing that we can give him is your shop.

Everything else really can't give it till the end everything done me. The only thing we can give him his Workshop. We also realize that worship changes your heart. praise changes our atmosphere the big Point understand that when I worship God my heart changes you ever try to be angry and you start worshipping because it doesn't work too well. Unless you're listening to heavy metal worship. And trust me I do that sometimes. You guys don't know dear. I listen to heavy metal work is great. Especially start shredding. Oh my gosh. I start head-banging and everything else is so much fun. But worship changes your heart praise changes the atmosphere around you. It changes things around you guys. What the problem is we want to praise our way out of things instead of worship for a way through things.

We want to praise God that he gets his out of the place. Where do we understand how to worship him through it? Because when you worship God through what you're going through then he releases his power and that's when you begin to overcome. That's when you begin that victory. Also, I want to say this you don't worship God for victory.

That's twisted. I know that many people think like a hot when I worship God so you can deliver me. So that's twisted. Cousin your worship isn't based on him is based on what he you can get from him. And that's not pure because the father is looking for those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. He's looking to show himself strong and people like that.

When are use a different translations and I want to give you a little history on the translation I'm using it's called the West translation. I love it had it for some years Man by this guy and Kenneth was he he was a New Testaments dollar. He studied Greek. Where's my do from Grease? Serious, you don't like him. He actually speaks Greek.

and so little history about this translation it says

Crucible of press professor of the New Testament in Greek at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and published over a dozen books in the New Testament is expanded translation New Testament stretcher by those who appreciate the nuances of the holistic Greek language.

reason why I'm going to use this translates to give you guys a little information that a lot of things that got translated into ours sometimes don't use the proper words and English cuz there's no words to really Define in like there is another languages like Hebrew has a lot of words where we only have one word and so does the Greek But we're going to die. Then. It's going to be so much fun. Relic attacks again at 16 and we're going back into where Paul and Silas were getting ready to be arrested and thrown in prison cuz I want to bring some points out.

This is after he cast The Demon out of that woman who was follow him around for days. Then these men are the ones who came to show us the way of salvation. 2 lb of ticked-off cast a demon out of the girl and all the sudden it picks up his now her master having seen that their hope of gain had been as having seen Paul and Silas dragged by their heels into the marketplace to the Civil rulers having brought them to the magistrate instead. These men are causing a great deal of trouble in our city. Being Jews in our promulgating customs, which is not lawful for us to be receiving nor to be doing since we are Romans and the crowd rose up together against them and the magistrates having torn off their clothes were issuing the orders to be beating them with rods and having inflicted many stripes upon the lady threw them into prison charging the Jailer to be guarding them safely who haven't received such an order through them into the inner prison. It made her feel secure in an instrument of torture having five holes for for the wrist. And ankles and one for the neck. Let me explain. See when we look at that another translation. It says in the fastest their feet and the stock, but we don't understand. We got literally means is that they had this chain around their neck. They already got be so now they got chains on their neck. It's going down to the risk and it went to their ankles, but it wasn't like regular stocks that you were seeing like England during the Medieval ages and act stretch their legs all the way out like doing the splits to wear their hips almost popped out of socket.

And it just didn't put them in in prison to who in here ever tried to do the splits. How many of you guys try to do the splits cuz he's our men ride. Who like to try to do it? No one's like this unless you know martial arts and you're really good at that stuff you like. Oh, no, but that's what happened to him. They were completely stressed out and painting. I want to touch you some points because I believe that this is a determining factor in our worship. You have to realize there were seven things that happened to Paul and Silas. They first dragged them. They were teaching the gospel and they get offended and they drag them to the Magistrate.

knowing where they say, but they got judged saying these men are teaching us things that we shouldn't even do as Romans not even understanding that pose a real man to Not only that but then they beat them. So there was a shame there was beat a lock them up. They actually put them in a hole you guys don't understand what this is the enter prison. You got to realize and Roman culture. They had when you went to prison they had cells that were for Roman citizen and no cells you can eat there was you it was pretty nice. Looks like today what celebrity goes to make it a nice little sell don't they? It's not usually little they got like a whole movie and everything else all kind of visits. But then you got another place in a prison. It was called just a common selfish and in the, so you still got fed? The comedies weren't as nice, but you were waiting to be tried because they were there to wait further sentence. Then finally you get to the place where Paul and Silas were located. They were in the inner prison and what that was was literally a hole. where they forget about you at

to not only are they in a whole work today in the brig. They don't get fed, and they get forgotten about.

I'm reading this again. I'm like, oh God, that's so good because I realized how many of you guys ever felt like you've been dragged through the mud.

Maybe you felt like you've been ashamed a lot. Maybe your childhood was full of a lot of Shame. You never been in you never measured up. You couldn't even if you tried hard. It was nothing you can do.

Maybe you've been judged. Maybe you're judging yourself.

Because I realized each steps each time. They got it got worse for them. And sometimes if it gets worse for us. Are you guys ever felt locked up inside like you're not in tune with who you really are and you can't even express yourself how you would like to you because things are just locked up.

finally there in a hole never felt the Press Your felt like you were stopping just couldn't get out and you wanted to but you just couldn't get out of it.

Can you get out to the last part where it says a torture devices placed on them? That device cause them pain. What devices have you turned to that? Cause you pain?

These are things that they were going through. These are the things that the apostles went through when they were teaching the gospel and the only reason why they're in that predicament in the first place is because Paul decided to have a dream. You guys know that it starts off with Paul had a dream from the Holy Spirit where man from Macedonia to came and said come to Macedonia. So he believes what he seen in his dream He travel to Macedonia you baptize people. He picked up a dude named Timothy circumcised him later on in life. Yeah, tell me about it magic being a grown man being circumcised by another grown man. There was no numbing cream.

I miss you. Paul. He's he's preaching this woman demonic and he doesn't get the Gmail at first for a couple days. And he's like I had enough and Always Sunny kicks it out and the people lose their money and when they lost their money, they got upset. I'm going to tell you something when you preach the truth. It will affect people's profits.

Why do you why do you think they persecuted Jesus?

Yeah, the religious leader was jealous, but I'll tell you that and result was because they were scared of it affecting their status. They were afraid don't you realize that this thing's going to cost you everything. Play Salvation is free, but following him cost you everything.

Give me one second.

Do they cost you everything? What was the prominent figure during that time he was the Pharisees among Pharisees. He was literally ruling and raining and and dude like he was the chief Pharisees. He knew all the stuff he was taught from a young age trained by the very best in school. And then you got this guy Paul who now is following Jesus. You understand it cost him his dignity it cost him his VIP card. It cost him everything and now he's thrown in prison with this dude named Silas we picked up because him and Barney had a falling out.

Bernie was always good though, cuz he was always singing. I love you.

Yeah, you know the song I love you you love me to the son of encouragement, man.

Hoverboard is seriously. So now he's going to prison and all this stuff for Falls them and when we see happening is

They didn't stay been affected by what went on around then.

Are you tired of being affected by what's going on around you?

Are you tired of saying are you tired of being affected by I'm tired of complaining. Are you tired of it? Are you sick and tired of being stressed out? Are you tired of fighting against stuff? and getting nowhere some people may say what you need a little more tenacity. You need to have some Brazilian butt. Are you tired of trying in your strength?

Until you get tired and your strength Miracles will never happen.

As long as you're doing it in your power Miracles never happen.

I know I'm teaching you about worship wrap it comes later. But for right now, I'm going to teach you how the Miracles will happen in your life. When you're not depending on your strength, and you're not listening to you. scripture says him that trust in man trust in a trap works there, but he that trust in the Lord will never be put to shame.

A clear sign if you're walking around in shame is because you're not trusting in the Lord.

You're trusting in people to fix our problems and not trusting in the Lord to equip us.

Cuz God wants to quit you to be the miracle for someone else. God wants to equip every area in your life to be a miracle for someone else and until we realize that we won't allow God to equip us.

Toothpick on let's pick up where the story takes us to. This is now at midnight Paul and Silas while they were praying. We're also singing praises to God mingling petition with songs of praise and the prisoners were listening to them enjoying their singing so they had to be pretty good thing and singers that you know, I mean or there was just no one else singing in prison. But I want some muffins and sometimes there's a whole musical number in prison.

But these guys weren't singing these guys were they were singing and other people were listening there were enjoying it and then it says in southern suddenly there was an earthquake in break one so that the foundation of the prisons were supposed to talk to her and all the doors were instantly open in lucid and bonds of all were lucid. If we open the bomb DeWalt releasing first of all, what what in the world do you think they were doing in prison singing at midnight?

Because you got I mean you like more like praising Jesus, right? I don't know if you when you go through stuff. Is that the first thing on your mind? Bring me some. We're going to throw off all the real like Lord. I Thank you for this big load of blank that just came in my life.

Thank you, Jesus for fertilizer. Are you guys doing that?

We got to be honest with ourselves. We can't sit there and just read it and think well, of course they were there just like you and me.

Drop them their response to what they're going through was worship and why the world is it midnight? So what time?

When did they actually get beat with rods taking the prison? What what time did that happen?

Maybe. Paul, but Silas Maybe.

You didn't have that dream.

Or maybe you did have been said that maybe Silas has some of this if you wouldn't have lost your temper.

Because that's what happened Paul lost his temper being ticked off being angry being annoyed. I didn't end up in the situation in silence is with them. What does Silas even do?

Google what today he was there. He was Guilty By Association man.

So maybe Silas is in the prison with Paul going? boston-area Lake Yeah, he left during the flesh was talking about later.

But what occurred was a begin to worship? Navigate to sing praises to God. Why when we read this why cuz you got to realize this when this happened in their life, there was no new testament. All they had was a story of Jesus and they had the Old Testament.

Why did they begin to worship that's baffling?

How come your response was Worship in our response is complaining and calling people and getting them to agree with us in our pain instead of helping elevators out of it through Christ. Why is that?

all

Why is that guys think about this with me? Like I know that we like reading scripture, but why talk about it?

Yeah.

Did you know they were at the end of themselves there's nowhere else to go in that hole. Why what else guys think about this when we're discussing this who said something?

Probably guide is what made you want to wash them?

Deborah having before in Scripture You guys remember early on in when after Jesus rose from the grave and the disciples were walking somewhere. They end up killing a guy who was crippled Jazz member the story. It was Peter and John and this dude is like sitting there begging and their life. We don't got gold and silver, but we got it will give me you give me your hand. And the guy gets healed he goes into the temple streaming and yelling because he's excited. Later on, the disciples get beat and they said they counted they Rejoice because they counted because they were counted worthy to suffer for his name. So you're pulling Silas in the same predicament suffering for Christ for the sake of Christ and what happens if you get to get excited.

What would it look like if the persecution in your life produced excitement?

Oh, we don't do that we run from persecution. especially in America

we run from people who say a mean word to us. I do not know what to do with them. They just looked at me funny. They gave me this. I I I don't know what's wrong with them. And then we tell other people that person gave us aside. I so then that person gives in the side. I am now we know that two people website eyes.

I mean, come on. before we do reformer little teams in groups against each other, but you see what they did and didn't do that. What caused them to respond that way?

In James, it tells us.

Where did they get that from there? Cuz that's the New Testament they didn't.

It was let me explain before I love what you're saying is true. It was written before but they live that before that was written.

The scripture was lived out first and then wrote about unless his prophecy. But you're right to where did James get that inspiration from? You're absolutely right. Jim James was talking about James. Good.

And I don't mean realizing it.

That's the basis

Good, that's basically.

You're absolutely right.

I agree. I think you all are right, but I'm trying to get us to gravitate to something. Jessie did Yeah, you would have stone Steve and weird. Now. We're putting it together. You ask your right change your right to and you're right to Frank and you're right as well. Put it together guys. Why why?

Come on.

You all right, but you're taking it serious. Yeah, go ahead.

Come on. Absolutely.

Come on.

Come on.

Kelly had her hand of Max Gill Lee County

But what you say?

Yes, you're absolutely right there on the right track for this track a little farther because ready we're on the right track. If he comes in experience you carry.

Not just knowledge and information that you received.

Hit me.

Yeah the West.

Oh, I did that. I did that the highlights of something. I I highlighted the green colors just looks yellow in there. That's all you're good. Thank you for asking. This is my highlighter.

What cause them to worship God and why is midnight so relevant? Cuz any translation you look a nurse is at midnight in the middle of the night. It says the same thing why. Will you look at these are two Jewish man? And Paul was a scholar soap all understood the whole had to memorize so much of the Bible.

To a while they're in prison.

The Bible want you to turn to Psalms 119 57 through 64.

Something begin the transfer they're getting beat. Did you got beat they're locked up and I don't know about you, but I'll tell you the truth man lot of us would have just been complaining like this isn't fair. Why me God. What did I do wrong? Does this sound familiar to our language and all day? He's going to be honest. Yeah. Come on, I'll be honest you check this out.

To a lot of people don't know this some people do like before I was going to ever be a pastor. He before I got called to be a youth pastor. I got accepted to do some acting in music.

I was I was headed off for a record deal and everything. That's what I was doing. My wife knows if she was obviously got his tree got to accept it and it was crazy was happening. Then God said yeah, you're going to Pastor I said no. I don't want to do that. Because I'm having way too much fun praying for the sick on my own and watching the hundred people get healed. People gets saved about everyday. I don't need to argue with people about if this is real or not.

I'm just being real with you guys. I'm done. Now. I'm going to be barrable. This is what I was doing and I'm telling you did I go around working another job and see people healed, you know, I almost lost my one job being a trainer. Because I pray those praying for people and they were getting healed and another Christian called in to corporate to tell them what was going on and that these things seem to be happening.

But I had to sit down with my manager and he's like top you can't be praying for people and they got completely beside the point. So besides him being completely healed and not limping anymore.

It's because when you start walking in this thing that it's offensive to people.

And so they're not happen, but then I didn't stop me under me. I was Walmart seeing radical healing all the time. My wife is send me out to get some milk. I come back two hours later would like 10 stories.

This really happen. It still happens today. I just learned not to spend two hours doing it.

To think God wants you to pastor and I struggled with it. And I said, okay fine I Surrender.

I'm pastoring amused and I'm getting voted in and out was a hoe Tizzy for me and then I became the pastor and then doing that and people people people that are Christian weird.

Little me weird like I love Jesus stuff. I mean like

Mina's heck and my response was like God, I'm ready to stop this nonsense. I'm done. Did I get sick and it would Bell's Palsy Ramsay Hunt Bell's Palsy on my face where my home nerve. It look like I had a stroke.

Just recovering from that end up in the hospital. For recovering from that guess what? I'm just walking outside getting rid of a possum. Then my quad tendon rips off. I'm very active. Put me down for three years. He gets this year last year. It started really were coming where I'm able to lay press again. Just seems like you still not catching me. I'm like, I know dude I'll get you eventually.

Do you understand what it feels like? Follow God's instructions and then get hit one thing after another and hit and hit again in the final. You're just like you know, what?

I don't think this is worth my life. Not the gospel. Let's be real the gospels worthwhile life. Like you can't change that from me. I overdosed I went to hell Jesus came. What do you want me to do about it? He's real to me. But to be honest, I was like, I don't know if I want to lay my life down for all these people. He just want to stab me.

To look me in the face and say tap were with you and that and then I'd want is either gone.

Let's be real man. Can't be real with you guys or do you want me to be religious? Do the Mountain Dew that I'm going to share my heart because I want you to understand this is what they were going through.

They did. I see people healed in this church, and then the next minute, you know, they're gone yelling and screaming I can't believe And I realized something. That the more I just wanted to talk to people about how people were treating me is the worst of got.

But why do you need people to agree with you how bad things were?

Do you know how we do it because we're looking for the comfort of man and not the comfort of God.

Price to write that one down.

You're looking for the comfort of an and not the coffee that comes from God. Yeah.

Bury my burdens reminded me who I am in Christ.

Bury my burden is reminding me of the word God spoke to me. Daring Do you ever realize what we call Barry each other's burdens. Is it worth having pity parties for each other? Let's be real. Come on. We can't get free Electronics.

dad

You can do that.

Yes, but we call Barry each other's like oh my gosh. And we Empower people to stay stuck instead of empowering them to rise up.

So you got Paul and Barnabas tearing prison, and I don't know about you if they were just like oh my God.

I want to do a Pity Melody when the change did he say?

Many of us wants things to change but we got to get our eyes off of what word in or going through.

I'm being real and honest and how many times have I hit? My wife was up here. Did she teach the kids I wish you was in here.

I realize I'm not going to be real in Baltimore with you guys. You guys are going to be really involved with me either.

You have to be that way in order to that truth come because we choose to come Grace cousin. We braced on empowerment cuz that's when things get wild.

That's when the Holy Spirit begins to move strong. Dude complain printing a times and finally I went to Lewis's puppies. I think you're complaining a whole lot. What type of table look dude I've been running this thing going after you. It seems like the more I go out to you the worse it gets and it's not people from out of church is the church itself.

You just truth now. I'm just trying to help you guys. I told you living this thing's going to cost you. the best thing a coffee was myself

Cost to yourself. So you give yourself up in prison the same way Jesus was for the joy set before him. He endured the suffering of the cross. That literally means he saw you and me and said they're worth it.

Amy Jesus saw you sitting here one day knowing him growing up on me finding truth leaving that culture because of Jesus and he said you're worth it.

for the joy set before him an a clear sign that we don't have joy. Your joy is leading us is when we turn inward and I don't mean in word in any God said. I know you're with me. I mean in word and say this isn't fair why me and we start seeing that type of language. Call me if you guys ever done that.

Good. There's honesty floor Now, isn't that great?

God why me why this happened to me, dude? When you get past the why you and step into who he is that's when things start to adjust and God is more concerned about adjusting your heart finger awkward environment. This might sound rough. I pretty teeth the crap there until you learn to overcome.

OneNote app that's not fair. What's better, is it better for you to climb a mountain or learn how to walk right through one?

I'm you guys ever been to Virginia. Have you guys ever travel through that tunnel and every time I go through and I think of Batman? No, I do I go through town with my family. I'm sitting here like

do you know that he liked use dynamite and took Dynamite to like blow holes through that thing so they can create a tunnel. Another degree. Do you have the hard job of making tunnels that we just drive through what they went with took them a while to build.

we have these stories in scriptures because God's trying to give you guys the grace to walk through and create tunnels instead of you trying to Lord move my Mountain then you never grow so you can climb on You don't develop bright. Could it be the reason why they turned it is because they got to develop that where we run from that.

Oh, come on, man.

That sounds like my daddy too, cuz he told me that one day too. He said he told me when you're when you're done having a pity party. I'll come and help you. Would you regard talk to you that straight? I love it. You know why I wanted to talk to me cuz he's trying to develop me and give me some mature. So what happened is if you look at Psalms? Who has who has songs with Psalms? 119 verse 57. Oh, this is so exciting. He realizes that he had this Encounter With Jesus and all of a sudden Psalms 119 pops and it said verse 57 through 64. What does it say is the Lord. I promise to observe your words. I entreat you with all my heart have mercy on me an accord with your promise. I have examined my ways and turn my steps to your testimonies. I am prompt. I do not hesitate and observing your commands do the snares of the wicked surround me your loss. I do not forget at midnight. I Rise to praise you because of your righteous judgement. I am the friend of all who fear you of all who observe your precepts the Earth's Lord is filled with your mercy teach me your statuses. Do you know the song from songs right? They were sung? So all of a sudden Paul starts in solids if you read it, even if they started singing hymns. The songs where they have they were singing they weren't singing How Great Is Our God. No gym, that wasn't created yet. Not at all. God was always great, but that song about him wasn't created. So they're singing all supposed to get midnight. I'll rise up you look at Psalms 42. It's his in the day. The Lord directs his love at night. His song is with me.

All the sudden posters recalling the word he starts recalling me song. He starts to sing us both and that's what shifted their hearts. They remembered something. I'm pretty sure they also remembered if we look correctly in the Old Testament. Did this happen to three other men in the Old Testament where they were thrown in the innermost part of a place? It was really hot. Google who am I talking about guys?

Shadrach Shadrach Meshach in the bad negro That's right. ride with me

But they're thrown in the fireplace, right and they weren't even understand what got him in there. They said King. Oh King, listen, whether God Deliver us or not. We will not bow down to you. I think they had that same mentality whether you and I get out of the store not Silas precious Worship the Lord. They weren't focused on getting free from the j.p. Warren focus on the pain. They were feeling from their leg stressed out. I wonder if that's why we stay stuck because we're focused on our environment and the pain is causing. Told us to be

we would just love to see you got cold has to be we overcome. He says I have overcome so you can overcome put until we see that when we get a high focus on him. We can overcome thing Peters walking on water. I mean, come on, man. All these other dudes are stuck in the boat. Peter gets out and he's walking and everything's going great, man.

Chicken thighs off of Jesus and he sank and he cried out Lord save me and Jesus looked at Peterson. What cause you not to believe? We stopped believing the truth in God's word and also the words that the spirit has spoken to us over our lives because we go through stuff. We try to look at ways were more impressed by what happens to us. Instead of crew has us. You're way more impressed by the stuff that happens to us. And I wonder if the truth of why they walk this way because it wasn't weren't impressed by then be getting beat.

It was like, you know, what I probably would have did like back in that day. I would have treated like I treat muscles like you see another guy was big like a flats and then we slept together. Oh my gosh.

You're a dude. Oh my gosh. I wonder do like you we got beat for Christ. Look at that one and a job is likely to be trying to barbecue me do didn't work.

This is just Truth for you guys. They had a different perspective and if we can look differently at how we go through stuff. We walk his Overcomers instead of being broken by everything. One sec. I'll be right there. Sometimes the reason why we like being broke is because we like the attention it gives us.

Come on, sometimes we found our identity in our Brokenness instead of what God made, right?

To have the courage to say what it is the lord gave me and it's really kind of simple but it's so fits with what you're teaching tap. He said the word was just move just move and I'm like, okay, you know, what's all this about and then he gave me the picture of the body healing body tissue healing and I'm like, okay and he's like I didn't create your body to just sit there and do nothing when you get even a bruise, whatever it is, even in your mind that the the picture the it's all through the word that I gave you is don't stay where you're at and we'll just move and the movement is in the direction of him. The word not all I mean, I have gone through all this self-pity and I'm going to head junk in my life. It's just we could pile it all through this aisle, and it would still for sure been pretty crappy but she's never left. He always got a hold of me again. Took me by the hand and led me and it's what all I've ever done. My part is move. You know, it's like when he's not just me on the head and says hey Yes, and I don't go down but like you I don't want to do that. That's not fun. They might pick on me. You don't forget it. It ain't worth it. It's really the joy and the piece is in just a bag and move on. I mean, it's like it's so simple once you practice it enough you're like, okay, this is just it's just much much easier. I wish I had known this 50 years ago. Come on.

They remembered. What happen is if they're in that place and they remember what God has it already late. Didn't know this is the thing. I want to say guys when you remember something that God did just don't do this. Let me help you guys with us today we like to do is remember what God Said say it back to ourselves and that's it. Could you imagine Paul and Paul and Silas being locked up going? Well, it says in the word midnight will rise and give thanks because of your righteous ordinance. And it also says in the word he directs he gives us the song and that's what they did. They would have just said that back and forth to each other. Nothing would have happened. But we do is we like to quote scriptures back at each other and then we wonder why nothing happens, but let me ask you this question is just make it simple. Who is your bae?

Can you bake right? Yeah, I know. I just thought your conversation didn't I'm sorry. What do you bake? So what's the recipe for a cake?

stuff

We don't know what's in her check, dude.

You love is in the cake. Yes. Yes. Okay, so if you would give you write that recipe down in and someone says Hey, I want a cake and you close the recipe does it give them cake. Are you sure? Like we say or two cups of flour and eggs and sugar some baking soda. I don't know a little bit of vanilla extract or something. If I give you the ingredients, does it make the cake? Let's be real. Come on. Do we do it all the time? We quote scripture at each other, but it doesn't make the cake.

Oh, so now you have to do to get the follow the instructions to his work involved, but we don't work. We live by faith not by. What are you talkin about work?

So it's a faith that works. route us to State Farm. Kamal

faith-based come on, if we live that we give each other scriptures and we say there you go and never does it show up in our life.

You're the only reason why I started seeing people heels cuz I stepped out and just did what Jesus said do. Not because I'm Soopers just Jesus. He does those things. I know he does. Do you realize what I'm saying? You have to step out so they just couldn't just post this. They started to actually activate say that with me say this for me activate. nothing Holy Spirit activate activate

Activate activate home now. We're doing now we're doing

so good. But they had activated a guy's they couldn't just sit around and cold all day cuz nothing would have happened. They had to say this is what it says to let's just begin to see and if you can you sing a song. I think it was the song that never end.

It went on and on my friend. It goes on to say some people started singing. What it was and they'll continue singing this forever. Just this is the song that never.

I love you guys.

That's why I'm job for you, man. They were singing to the land though. Just to be honest.

And they say they remember to be activated and they begin to sing and then they begin to appeal. They had to appeal to someone greater because it says that they've made appeals to God. So it says in Psalms 95 and two letters come before his presence with a song of Thanksgiving they weren't sitting there saying nobody knows the trouble I've seen

could you imagine what that's what we did we seen this stuff back to ourselves and then wonder why we don't see Cops show up. But what happened was it came before his presence with Thanksgiving because it was written to do that. Timberlake and they were Radical they stepped in on it. I want to step on it. It just let us show joyfully to him with song. I don't know about you guys, but they weren't doing that. Let me help you guys because we're going through Saint we're like Here today, cuz she's been leading, right?

We might song number two and a half that the congregation kind of warms up. Right? Let's just can we be real with you guys? Let's be real. Sometimes the song 3, right? Sometime soon three, they start warming up and they start moving a little bit and getting into the spirit. I know cuz I've been on stage.

I'ma tell you why I'm not condemning you cuz I want you to understand it because we haven't learned to come in his presence with Thanksgiving we learned to come in. His presence was with how the week treated us.

We learned as well guys. I'm going through it and we're going to wish that Drizzt sacrifice to your God and every praise is to our God every phone, but I'm just really not in the mood Jesus. My thoughts are. Come on.

She will. If we can't be honest about this we never can get free from it will continue to play church and I don't want to place your don't to be the church. That dude got a recent revivals you I'm just moving it and I'm just going to keep moving in until stuff starts shaking.

You can say shake and bake Ricky Bobby. Come on, I'm going for you guys. Come on.

What happened in the scripture that said they were singing also shake and bake. It says it in there. That's great. You start getting tempted for it is written shake and bake.
