An Usher With A View - Psalm 84:1-12

But for myself for being so good to me.

Now for the for my assignment for the hour and still not only encourages from God's word, but also to encourage our ushers Amen to the Lord.

Our Father God we thank you Lord for your word. We thank you. That is true that when you spoke you did not start up your Holy Spirit to have his way in this place the Lord that you may speak to the hospital as individuals lost might have been strange for you for some time. But you might speak to that hard father that his burden that they might know Lord that you a very present help in Fallout to that individual that doesn't know you in that part of the Saiyans have no idea they were to die today whether or not they would go to heaven. We pray God and Ash Lord that you would speak to their hearts at the opportune time. They will come forward and give their lives to you father May the words of my mouth and let my heart be acceptable in my side and I say oh Lord my strength and My Redeemer in Jesus name, amen.

Church is a very very unique institution in that God takes those who many have written off and decides to use them to do Kingdom work. A specifically he chooses to do it in the church. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 10 and 11 and 1st Corinthians chapter 6 verses 10 through 11 calls out the fact that many of us what people who other phone would not trust after giving an extensive list of former Lifestyles the Apostle Paul when he does is he says and such was some of you he says some of you used to be Liars. You used to be adulterous. You used to be things. But now you're saying you make up. Come on God's toolbox. You makeup Dodge toolbox. And because you make up God's toolbox it he is getting his greatest use out of us for his kingdom. So what week we hear a lot of those gifts that God uses for spoiled Apple. We hear pastors we hear of Elders we hear of deacons and Deaconess we hear of all these others but there's another group that we seldom give attention to and that is the ocean. Only you. She was a person who leads people to a place to sit. They they are they are they are there officers. If you will that leads people into the court or it's a horse so that people might have some type of experience, but we know that the first response We know that they are the ones who are the eyes and ears of the church. We we know that they are The Messengers that passed the note up front to get where needs to get it in order for the proper communication to be Navy made to certain individuals. I just called in the gangsters of the church.

Yeah, I asked what I call my phone occasionally church because because because she that can move their hand and you got the apartment. That means go over there and say that. I didn't know you got the move that purse baby cuz somebody got the sick that you got the move down. I just come on talk to me somebody.

Yeah, that's what you got two gangsters. If you will, let me and his you talk if they wanted to know if you stop talking.

Go to church.

gangsters, you know Double G's if you will by the church.

But the Bible declares the people. Can I call the car recite these were the descendants of Korah Moses ran into a little party problem where Carl and his crew tried to repel against the authority at which time God took care of it. Listen to remainder of those folks who are obedient and these individuals happen to be the people who are one of the authors of Psalm 84. In fact, in fact, in fact, I believe that that they have a unique perspective in that they are helping people who come in to get to where they can worship God. And if they can help people get to the place where they can worship God their obligation is to God as his servant but the subject of their study of the people that are coming to be seated. To hear God's word is texting you will view from enough. A View from an usher Yes, these these these these folks these Curry fights. If you will they came from the levitical line the Precinct Line and and if they ushered in the worship through singing if you will it was doing the things that they had not gone into captivity. But on the way to the temple, these are the folks that lady of the way so that ass people begin to worship God they gave him instruction and direction as to how they should do. We see first of all that the three things that they observing Fresco. They're deserving the worshippers plight. We see this in verses 1 through 4 because your texting is my so long. If you're even thinking for all the courts of the Lord my heart and my flesh cry it out for the Living God of the sparrow has found and house and swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young even the sign Alters. Oh lord of hosts my king in my God blessed. Are they that dwell in the house? They will be still praising the Cielo. Not least dispersed, please first floor Boys versus here in that. First of all the welcoming the house of God is an SS or something about the people who lead other people to worship. You ought to be pleasant explain to me how they wanted to be an option. I kept saying all that hate you give

Loretta Saunders cuz it won't be amiable to come in after they meet you.

And whatnot and y'all know some folks that ain't the first thing. I wish more people were welcoming for people to come into the house of God.

Slabtown

Welcome. So we must be welcoming. What is something else that goes on here is something else that goes home? That's really really have.

You know, you know what you know what you know yesterday we went to leave the Maryland state fair. I think it was one Fair Prince George's County Fair things. We work on stuff in my wife kind of picked up that I must have been hungry. And so she can fix me a plate to eat to satisfy. My longing watch this. My mind didn't say I was hungry but my stomach said I was hungry so I had an appetite to eat. So my wife fix me a plate of food that met and satiated watch. This is my appetite my Hunger. So people are coming wash it after they met at plus. They have an appetite to worship God worship appetite spiritually hungry because Play Store restricted that we don't deal with them natural aspect of how we should come into God's house. We are to come not wanting a snack.

Some of us we eat snacks on my phone off so we can go get junk food, you know the kind of stuff that faulty Theology and all of that kind of stuff that we see on television and that we kind of incorporating Our Lives.

See you you need to get a full-course meal because full course meals make it healthy, but you got to have an appetite for you can be trained for you to be trained for knick-knack. Give me Travis. That's one thing I found about snatching if they don't want to eat nothing there.

Yeah. Churchill during the language is reflexive that I myself have a desired that's not manufactured by me. I myself haven't decided does not come pick up his generator because I had been out of the presence or the absence of God's people and fell asleep. And now I hunger to be in the presence of God and his people crushed by this place must be such that my song long and even fainted for the courts of the Lord is my heart and my fresh crab off of the Living God because I've been in the world population situation all day long, and now I need to hear a word from the Lord.

Yeah, I can't watch CNN all day long. I might get a headache. I can't watch Fox News on God in Me.

This is watching. How long is Russia's gay? The sparrow has found at house do the tensioner very restless know that that that this Sparrow has settled in permanently. Watches and the swallow a nest for herself when she may lay her young lover. She had Tabernacle in the Tabernacle, even though so long hose to my king and my God, he's got sense enough to know that I need to go where God is.

It's amazing to me how people have they have all these problems and can't find God. And God is the only thing that nice out there, bro. God is the only one that can solve it your ultimate problems and watch this situation. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature old things are passed your situation around you ain't changed your perspective Changed by the renewing of your mind what happens if it snows changing things around you to come on talk to me somebody. amen

And so he says here. Blessed are they that dwell in the house? That will be still watch this tracing then think on that for another word that I'm still praising praising God. I'm driving down the street where everybody want to listen to everything.

You come through with what?

But for myself for being so good to me.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but she is not just looking at the back to the church. Oh, yeah, that's what I was telling you. I know some of us if you like me this morning we were coming in and seemed like to me there was so many celebrities that I couldn't get the church somebody heard that BeBe & CeCe Winan with me we was in town and and as I was driving it if just traffic backed up because folk was so serious about worshipping the worship of that. They would Worship in the one they should worship.

begin to give God praise and worship was pilgrimage and that they are on their way to church if you will in the Bible verse blessed is the man who strengthen is in the in whose heart are the ways of them who passing through the Valley of Baca are making it a well-trained also filled the pool is not my nature study here indicated something this

Show me a place that was bearing. There's a place where there was none, but saying there was a place where there was no water. But the thing that he brings to our attention is is that even in the Valley of Baca that God can bring it and cause it to be a spy ring with way back in the house at 3824 1st Street Southeast DC and and I will be running around in the yard in from time to time. I would take my head and I would hit my head if it gets one of those pine trees and you don't answer. I had got myself together running from somebody already with somebody. I looked at my hands and it was sticky the pan set.

Hippie finally hit me that they were saying that trees like this this particular tree, but Balsam tree if you will it was it was bleeding. If all should I say it was cheer up if you will the show and some some way shape or form that is called also the weeping tree. I hear some of us some lunch break down some of us right now and rest right now. We are in the Valley of Baca in our lives. When a situation where we things over situations. We are keeping. We are in a desert land if you will we are in a place that has brought us pain and struggle and frustration and will weeping because we forgot not appetite for God where we've been because being over missed opportunities that we could have been given to God because we miss being with y'all but don't have the courage to go back to God. That is lonely. That is proud. That is Aaron would it be there is to do is it begins to have all types of water? 2 flooded and refresh

Where are you right now? Where it where it? Where are you right now? Are you in a situation where you need to be replenished? Take your situation to God beloved and worship him in a situation that he's going to give you. Hope as you navigate through that I don't believe in the Prosperity Gospel. I don't subscribe to that. I believe it is bankrupting it cause the other folks to be bankrupt as well. That's one of those deserts. If you will that folks have they had begin to invest in something that cannot use that been made promises of God said that if you trust in him that he will bring you.

blessed is the man whose strength is in what in the Bless The Man Who strengthens and in whose heart are the ways of them passing through I want to know here that the proposed to be afraid. She is that you're passing through the valley of he says it may be well and the rain also that fills the pool that they go from watch the strength to strength every one of them in Zion a people person because what you say to me is that that that you get stronger and stronger as you are worshipping God is the only God could understand what he God can help and Only God knew what it was and I I bought meat they would have to place myself before my situation watch this it didn't change but I was changing and then as we talked about perspective changes in Straub is kind of like when he says glory to glory to glory from Faith to Faith glory to glory. when we are worshipping my keyboard Faith always Waiting for God to reveal himself The only way that we can see that sometimes we have to be in a difficult situation. Let's face it. But you know how it is when everything is going well with don't look for God. kids acting right you got money in the bank mortgage pay car note taking care of nobody sick.

Yeah, I mean the stars have aligned everything is singing at all.

Now. I'm going to okay. I'm always where I'm always been. I'm just waiting for you to show up.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it will not be in heaven. It's a lot of thing. Would like in God for how he is bringing us through so he brings us through it. Now. We look at the not only we look at the worshippers plight. Not only does the ushers view has the perspective of the worship is pilgrimage mainly in the church or to the church.

Oh, yeah, the worship is prayer that leaves us 2 verses 8 to 12. No, I want you to know here that he has given us three benedictions. Benedictions meaning good words, if you will then a meeting good diction meaning word. He has given us at least three words, but these clothes and out with some good work. He says the Lord God of hosts hear my prayer give Iran God of Jacob. And if and when he's praying, he's talking about it in the kitchen every which means that I'm praying. God would like stop praying you. Sometime we stopped too soon. I'm pretty God, but I'm still not finished praying yet. And it says here the whole. Oh God. I look upon the face of God in order for a day. And that courts Come on talk to me. It's better than a thousand. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God. Dwell, in the tents of wickedness in your house better is one day in your courts better is one day in your house than thousands elsewhere. Better is one day in your house better is one day in your courts better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. But it is one day in your courts Galveston day in your house better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.

In the house so much heaven will be what it is. Because there's no more said even though we going to love that it's going to be what it is not because there will be no more pain is not because of all the stuff that we want to get away from me because the one that hung on calvary's Cross are the ones that died for you and me.

Is that deliver? That's the one that done it from the dead?

Says here for the Lord. God is a sun and shield. no words when I need bright light God is present when I need protection God is that for the Lord will give Grace and glory and he says no good thing. Come on talk to me somebody from them that walk funny. That means to be in line with God. That means you have placed your faith and your son for put their faith in their 401k and when the crash happened they lost their faith. In the job and when the time. Right put that face in their friends and when it became an inconvenient time, they lost their fridge, but I just stop by if you put your face and you put your trust in Jesus. Sores that are not trust The Sweetest Thing by Tone and lean on Jesus name.

Thank you. Yeah, I think those.

I might need to sit with you. All right now and then so I can peep was going on every now and then but I know I know I know as a form of ushering myself my wife being a form of us that we don't sink if you win anything. About this thing here that that that the view from Industrial. You see the worship was polite people that come here. They need the Lord. They may not acknowledge it but they do. See the worship is pilgrimage. Yes, they are on their way to church. Sometimes they don't know what's going to happen. They don't know what kind of word they going to hit. But they have an appetite and needs to be sent you waited. Then we see the worship is prayer. The God is faithful to answer those so that the Psalms can say oh lord of hosts. Blessed is the man. That trust ending the final benediction. As you're standing on your feet this week.
