As a matter of fact right here on this staff today Mark Ballinger was scheduled to he was going in for consultation for a procedure to be done and He called a little earlier today and said pastor when I sat down with the doctor the doctor looked at me and said We've examined again, and I want you to know there's no need of any surgery. You're gonna be just fine How many of you know God's in the miracle business So if you've got a need before the throne tonight I want you to just put it right there at the feet of Jesus and trust him My brother went in a little while ago with an eight millimeter kidney stone, and they performed procedure on him He's over in Crestview Hospital. They might be watching so we're praying for you Mike And I'm believing God for miracles to take place continually man Lift your hands so we're seven.

There's nothing that's gonna scare you. There's nothing that's gonna frighten you There's nothing Lord Jesus that we're going through that's gonna cause you to worry or fret You're the God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we think our ass So whatever the needs are here and those that are watching online May the power of God rest upon them in miracle healing Deliverance salvation and whatever that it may be Lord touch this congregation tonight and those that are watching online around the world and may the Lord your peace and your Blessing be upon us in this very critical hour.

I want you to cross the aisles and find somebody that needs like they need encouragement Looks like they need encouragement and I'll encourage all of you that are watching online We're glad that you've joined us tonight from wherever you're watching from let us know where you're watching We look forward to you being a part of this service and you can be able to be a giver right there online You can do that as well as download the study for tonight We're still in the study of the power of praise and I pray that it will be a blessing to you this evening So stay right where you are in fact share it out on your social media Let other people know they can join us right here at Pace Assembly and God bless you for being with us this evening Praise God fellas. I need a throwback screen if you can do that for me this right here. That'll be perfect. Praise God Thank you for being the service here this tonight in The chapel some of you have never been in this sanctuary for a service Usually once a year we're in here. So it looks a little different for all of you that are watching online as well Every year we come in here because the kids program will address rehearsal I think there's music playing in my background. So you can else that and then this is going in and out. So am I doing something wrong? No, okay All right, stay with me. We're this is invariably what takes place when we get in here Even though all we all the systems have been checked and everything sometimes things get a little crazy Because of stuff like that right there y'all working on that so good Oh, we have to literally take all the live streaming and everything we do Even though they have kids church in here every Sunday morning behind these black drapes or kids church props and all that's going on plus The big screen and the kids are in the building here every Sunday morning If you don't have your children in kids church, you need to get them in kids church right away every Sunday morning every Wednesday night Seven o'clock and then they're out there practicing for the program for this coming weekend So they take over the sanctuary and we come in here and So how many of you are feeling comfortable here tonight? I'm gonna do this before I take up an offering How many of you are a little bit warm? How many of you are a little cool? Well, I hate that for you. You're gonna have to just bundle up and here's the reason why You've been hearing me tell you about things that have been going on is like Replacing air conditioners and all that kind of thing going on in the construction and all that but you've not had to experience those kind of trials and Tribulations because you have been in the main sanctuary where there is beautiful heat and cool and Lighting in the whole process But in the other parts of the building the chapel Where we are tonight For the past several weeks we have been installing or we haven't but the folks have been installing the new air conditioning systems above us and Over into the six thousand building and up in the loft where the youth department is and on the track and in the gymnasium and So we we've got all of the heat and the air in every location except for The chapel we have no heat in here yet now What is that why is that because these new units now that have come in have for Four heat strips in them that all have to be hooked up In order to be according to code and that's 400 amps of power now That may not mean anything to you, but I'm learning a whole lot about power these days and I will tell you that whether or not you like it or not or whether I should say like it But whether or not you understand the amperage and all that kind of stuff the bottom line is We have had to pull and they are still working on getting us a $3,000 breaker and Pulling all new wire from here all the way down To the room where the panel is because the existing wire can no longer handle The heat strips that were in the old units this building was built in the 70s And so those units have been nursed all that time until we got to this point in 2023 so I Would like to receive an offering tonight for if you would like heat in the chapel No problem pastor. I can endure it for one night. We'll see I'm gonna be looking for blue lips Tonight, that's what we're gonna be looking for Amen But we're in that process and your faithful support is what helps to be able to continue to keep the buildings and all That's going on take care of the ministry here, and I want to thank you as a matter of fact your Wonderful support and your giving Though it was not as much as what it was last year. We do understand that there is an encroachment of increased Inflation and all that's going on but never let that dictate to you what you do for God But in the receiving and your gracious giving not only here locally, but in Guatemala tonight Even as I speak there have already started the crusades in Guatemala and yesterday We wired twenty five thousand dollars of the gracious giving of this congregation to help more than ten thousand children in Guatemala Come on. Give God the glory tonight. He's worth it I thank you from the bottom of my heart one thing about pace assembly is that you're a giving church You'll have been and if you're new to this congregation You need to know you stepped into a congregation that thinks about others before we think about ourselves We are very conservative about what we do around here trying to take care and nurse and You know do all the things we need to patch and repair and all that kind of thing But sometimes as we've seen we've had to be able to invest more money into the buildings or air or heat Whatever that it may be so thank you for your over and above giving of what you've done and Tonight and all the rest of this week. There'll be more reports coming in of What your giving has done in Guatemala and then this coming weekend? Let me just say and let's let's receive the offering first while it's kind of Chilling your mind Not very many laughs there, but we are But it doesn't matter I would like for you to roll over and get the warmest hundred dollar bill out of your neighbor's pocket that you can I'd be a giver tonight, but you do that and Thank you for your faithfulness there. This is a ministry that does not shut down for December this is a ministry that is ongoing and There may be buckets at your seats. I don't know Whatever there may be for all of you Have y'all got anything of giving that's that can be thrown up on the wall so that folks can do that Thank you for your faithfulness and giving Online all of you that are watching online We have many people that are watching online that call this their church and we thank you for your faithfulness and giving Right there. You can do that online. You get that at the QR code that's available for you Or mail it in whatever you want to do. I don't care Pony Express throw it on a horse get it here Amen, and God bless you for your faithfulness tonight father. Thank you for the privilege We have to give we know Lord that every good and every perfect gift comes down from the father of light And so we asked you tonight Lord to let the blessings of the Lord be upon those that will now respond Lord in faithfulness and giving we thank you Jesus because we have this opportunity to show you where our heart is at So bless I pray tonight the gift the giver and this great church and we give you praise for it in Jesus mighty name Everybody said a good.

So please don't forget that be praying about that. Hey, listen One other thing I want to do real quick before I get into this study is this I want to put up revive 24 If you will for me, please I need to you to be able to Be prepared get this off of the social media site and share it out on yours It's gonna be a terrific time a month-long revival going on every service Pastor Sam loose gonna be back with us Bishop Tim Hill Evangelist Jason stittum. It's gonna be a great time every Wednesday night There's gonna be another speaker and there'll be will be laying hands on and praying for folks believing God for miracles So I want you to come prayed up come believing God Share it out on your social media and let's get ready for revival You get Christmas and unpack that stuff and then pack it ball back up in the box I've yet to develop it, but I know that it's on the horizon the virtual tree Where you can turn it on and it just shows you this tree and Then you can turn it off and it's done How many of you will help me invent that and will make millions. All right, so Don't forget that it's gonna be a great time for revive 24 to start the year off right It's gonna be a terrific time. Let me also say this to you And I'm not familiar with this organization, so I'm not going to Say that there is an endorsement there, but I do believe that there is significance to it To be done tomorrow marks the beginning of Hanukkah for the Jewish people and there is an effort through an organization That is garnering support, and I believe it's worthy of it that Christians will unite with the with The nation of Israel and with the Jewish people by putting a menorah up and lighting the candle and following with them During this time of Hanukkah it will happen So it just so happens that tomorrow of course being December the 7th and the two months ago on October the 7th now was the attack upon The Jewish people in the state of Israel. It's a very difficult time and the more the reports that are coming in Concerning it. I am thoroughly amazed at continually at nations and the United Nations for that matter that completely ignore the absolute barbarism of Hamas terrorists that have been so brutal upon the Jewish people and Somebody said well pastor. What about what's going on? We're they're at war And if you haven't heard the FBI leader in recent days telling us that we should be careful because the rhetoric and the Chatter for terrorism activity is at an all-time high He said like he has never seen since 9 11 and so we should be a people that are aware But whenever we name the name of the Lord and we support the Jewish people you can expect kickback But just the act of following and if you don't know the story behind the Hanukkah story and the and the miracle of light I've preached it here before and I don't have time I won't go into all of it here tonight But I'm gonna just tell you it would be one that you would want to read because it is nothing short of a Miracle that took place for the pure oil to go back into the temple at the beginning of that 8th day And it was a miracle of God so you read about that if you choose to support in that frame It would be I'm sure a blessing to you and and certainly solidarity for the Jewish people Now before I get into my lesson. I know that I said I was I want to share this with you because I think it's Significant and I want to put this on a prophecy file briefing. So if you guys will So order I don't have Everything right here in front of me, but I've got enough to be able to tell you this from this article And this is the article I have to share it because it's so important because if you're thinking about eating Five guys or go down to Texas Roadhouse and eat a steak Anything with me be sure and mr. Kerry John Kerry our Climate czar sat at the UN climate summit that was going on here in just a few days ago and I don't know if you heard but I won't go into the details of it, but he actually Made some noise there in the room Himself while talking about methane emissions Yes, he did. I believe sometimes God's way of getting folks's attention is to bring them down from their high horse He knocks over Christmas trees and does other things But here's what you need to know the climate religion Under the United Nations will be calling on the United States of America to reduce gas emissions By minimizing your eating and meat consumption Now you might not think this is prophetic, but let me share a little bit of this article United Nations is preparing to call on Americans to reduce meat consumption as part of the broader effort To reduce greenhouse gas emissions This recommendation is of course based on their view of supporting climate change So how should Christians think about this? This article goes on to read that the climate change that they talk about is actually and you can know this Climate change is actually an anti-god religion That believes that man can save himself and that he must save the planet They have given the creation domination over Man instead of recognizing man's god-given role of dominion over creation I'm going to give you three things for a verse that completely Destroys the argument of climate change because they say if we don't do something by X That it's all going to fold up and it'll be over with we're gonna You know never be able to do it and the world will will succumb to disaster Well, here's three scriptures to give you to combat it number one God gave dominion over the earth to man and God said in Genesis 1 26 Let us make a man and make man in our image after our likeness and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea Over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth Secondly after the flood God changed our diet so we were given permission to eat meat Genesis 3 and 9 and 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you even as the green herb have I given you all things Here's the third after the flood God made a promise that clearly shows man cannot destroy the planet How is that Genesis 822 while the earth remaineth Seed time and harvest Cold and heat summer and winter and day and night shall not cease Now they got on their high horse in the 70s and said if we don't do something By the 90s that the earth is going to implode and we're all gonna burn up Guess what? We're still here Then they said if you don't get your computers fixed by Y2k That you're all gonna disintegrate. Guess what we rolled over and we're still here. I Want to say to you that this is an anti God to drive God out of the position And the only reason why they think this way is because they don't consider God first But I want to tell you how prophetic this is the reason why I want to put this on prophecy file briefing Because here's the prophetic word that concerns it and if you want to just flip over there I'll let you do that very quickly To 1st Timothy chapter 4 and you can read it for yourself 1st Timothy chapter number 4 The Bible reads this way in verse number 1 Because you say well pastor has nothing to do with me You know, I don't believe in the climate change or I do believe in the climate change Whatever that it may be well I can tell you based upon us being in this chapel tonight the climate has changed outside and In Northwest, Florida, it's going to be at the freezing mark later on tonight So the climate will change and then it will change again by tomorrow And if because we live in Northwest, Florida, it will be 75 degrees and it will be a marvelous day But why is this happening because Romans chapter number one says that they are going to there would come a time in the last days Prior to the coming of the Lord that they would embrace the worship of creation over the Creator But even more than that I want you to look prophetically in 1st Timothy chapter 4 verse number 1 where the Bible reads now the Spirit speak at the Expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils Speaking lies in hypocrisy Having their conscience seared with a hot iron watch number three verse three forbidding to marry and And commanding to abstain from meats Which God has created to be received with Thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth and There you have it my friends. We are living in prophetic times where now marriage is is Being undermined, but especially between husband and wife All right, but now the forbidding to eat meat so we can make sure we preserve the planet Well, I'm just gonna tell you that all of you climate changers that are watching online I'm going to go probably tomorrow and I'm going to eat the biggest hamburger in your honor That has ever been and if I can find that deer running in my backyard again I'm gonna eat him too Now for those of you that have a heartburn with that I just want to let you know I will have a salad with ranch dressing on the side I like a salad with my steak This is foolishness It is an anti-Christ spirit and Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know your Bible and base your life out of the Bible You're gonna find yourself warped and deceived in your thinking Elevating creation over the Creator himself So let us turn ourselves now towards this lesson tonight Dealing with praise unto the God who is the God of all gods Have you got your Bible turned with me to the book of Hebrews chapter 13? Man praise God. Thank you for being here tonight. I'm glad you showed up But I'd have taught anyway Hey, man, don't miss this weekend again, it's gonna be a great time now look at verse 15 in chapter 13 of Hebrews 13 and 15 one verse of scripture Let's read it in concert together and get it in the atmosphere ready by him therefore Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God Continually that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name father I pray that you'd open our understanding tonight and help us to hear what the spirit would say and we give you glory for it in Jesus mighty name and everybody said a good amen the power of praise is The presence of God at work in your life When you acknowledge God in your praise and in your worship You're saying and you're inviting his presence to come in and take over When God comes his presence comes and things change That service this past weekend as people begin to spontaneously begin to worship and praise God and suddenly the whole atmosphere in the room changed and Miracles started taking place while we were standing in that room When we praise God we are agreeing With what he says and what he's already said about himself and what he's shown us that he is That he's a God who is a provider and a protector a God who watches over a savior a The joy of my life the peace of my life all of these things are incorporated and more into who he is and We discover also who we are even while we're praising God and what our purpose and for our purpose What our purpose was for in creation So what you need to know is if we praise God and he inhabits the praises of his people and he does and Comes down in his presence just like he did this past weekend Just like he is right now because we're two or more gathered together in his name He said there he is in the midst of them. So whether you know it or not God's in here I Said God's in here and I'm glad that God doesn't get fickle whether or not There's it's 72 degrees and warm or 50 degrees and a little chilly God won't walk out on you. Come on say a man as a matter of fact He has a tendency to warm things up when he comes in the room But what you need to know and let me flip the coin is when there is no praise coming out of our life things change When God leaves Well, you say well pastor God said he never leave us and he never forsake us. That's very true We walk away from him. We can become cold to work God and There's a classic example found in the Word of God from the life of King Saul and It literally shows us the difference in King Saul's life of the absence of God's presence and The presence of God and what it can make the absence or his presence being there just in a brief Saul disobeyed God Even though he was the king and anointed the king over Israel He disobeyed God the Bible says and was tormented by an evil spirit for Samuel chapter 13 15 and 16 and the only cure for King Saul was that an anointed musician in David Would come in and begin to sing praise and play praise music under God and the Bible said it drove the spirit That evil spirit away I want you to know the difference in your house at your home in your car In your earpods and all that kind of thing the difference in your attitude and your actions can be made By the type of music and worship and things that are edifying your spirit that creates a place for God to sit down in Okay, so this is important because the Bible says that it drove that evil spirit away From King Saul when David played as an anointed musician However, when David left the room that evil spirit returned Saul then had to call repeatedly for David to come back Not even knowing how in his own self to attract the presence of God Through praise. I want to say this to you. Don't let this be true of anyone here Or those of you watching you should not have to come to church or Call somebody in order to find out how to be able to get in the presence of God for yourself The practice of the presence of God will manifest in your praise and in your worship before God So the Bible says here in Hebrews 13 and verse 15 that we are to offer unto the Lord Under God the sacrifice of praise I dealt with this just a little bit last week But that sacrifice of praise is an honor unto God That is I'm not just coming to church and giving him a sacrifice of praise But my sacrifice of praise is literally what it is a sacrifice That's gonna cost me in order to honor God in other words instead of me putting something else in front of God And I've heard this so many times from people. Well pastor, I'd be there, but I've got this and this and this All right. Now you can make your choice, but understand what I'm telling you You know if mama put the food on the table and she called us, but we didn't show up She was gonna wrap that stuff up and put it away and I missed the meal. I Want you to know that if you're not present in Spirit and in truth to be able to be in the atmosphere of God's present You're gonna miss something and like I preached this past weekend You don't know what day that it could be that your miracle With your name on it is in the middle of that particular service. I Must have modest you about being in the presence of God in a corporate setting because there are some Enemies and some attacks and some things that are going on in your life that you cannot get over Unless you get into a corporate setting just like there is when others are praising God and you feel the strength of God in that Atmosphere, I'm just telling you there are some demonic spirits that have to be fought in mass I'm not saying Jesus that has overcome them. I'm saying that when you fight by yourself You're one, but if one can put a thousand of light then two exponentially puts ten thousand of life All right, so there is a sacrifice that's involved it means honoring God and putting him before friends Before work before wealth before anything else honoring God regardless of the cost Thank you for those four a man's I'll find out how many go to heaven tonight He says continually that it should be steadfast that our praise should be a Continual thing in our life when you wake up in the morning until you go to bed at night There should be a continual honoring of God and what you need to know is the way you live your lifestyle Literally brings praise and worship unto God. You're gonna see that more in just a moment He says let it be the fruit of your lips. There are too many people that are blaspheming God today Blaspheming God they don't have a good word to say and when they do It's gonna be filled with some kind of filthy language or something that's gonna put it put it put him down or or try to reduce His deity that's the reason why you and I as believers have to bring the praise the fruit of our lips Am I so well? I'm not outgoing you are about what you love You talk about what you love if you love the Lord then you're gonna talk about it and then he says giving thanks to his name that is And let me just follow this this word translated here giving thanks as translated and found some 23 different times in the New Testament It means not what we think in giving thanks. It literally means confess There are two times in the New Testament that it is used in this and in the just the giving thanks But mostly it's translated Confess in other words watch what happens when you get saved Romans chapter 10 verses 9 and 10 if we confess The Lord Jesus Christ and believe in our heart that God is raising from the dead thou shall be saved Do you understand the confession of your mouth and the believing you have your heart is literally what causes you to be? Written down in the Lamb's book of life and be born again Until somebody said well, I I'm not very outgoing. I don't speak very much. Then you'll never get into heaven But don't don't pat don't try to pass that lie off to God because you talk about what you want to talk about Please help me somebody. You know what I'm talking about Let me just start talking to you about you and you'll wear the ears out of whoever that it is or Whatever it is that you like let me talk to you about fishing If you're a fisher you're gonna wear me out If you're a hunter all I got to do is just start talking about hey, where'd you see the sign at? Oh, man I am y'all here at all. Yeah, I've already got all my You talk about what you love He says giving thanks unto him This is important for us because it literally says in a public setting in a public stand before God and before others This is my priority is giving God the praise not man It's really important in light of the fact that the UN is gonna dictate to us about what we can eat what we can eat But I'm just gonna tell you the UN is not my God And the UN is spelled United Nothing Especially in light of the fact that they won't even be able to condemn those that are the atrocities against the nation of Israel They are a weak Emaciated group of people and I'm just telling you as far as I'm concerned the UN can get out of the US anytime it gets ready Praise his name You're watching this Antichrist spirit rise up. That's not a political statement that I made You're looking at a Antichrist spirit that is rising up Why then am I talking about praise? Because ladies and gentlemen when you pray every time you praise God you're elevating the one true living God Above everything and everybody else in your life So we've been talking about this over the past few weeks and I'm gonna probably come back to this with the tabernacle But we understand that the scripture tells us that we are to confess and we're to praise him based upon what the Bible is Telling us so praise we said is an action. It's an action. It's a visual. It's a verbal. It's a continual thing. I Will bless the Lord with all of my heart. I'll bless his name continually his praise shall continually be in my mouth I'm not waiting on someone else to do it. I'm gonna do it whether you do or not It's an action Well, I'm not that outgoing and all that again. You are When you want to talk about what you want to talk about God said I'm gonna get praise and When the wind blows through the tree limbs It's saying holy, holy, holy when the Gulf of Mexico laps up on the seashore. It's crying, holy, hallelujah And if you don't the Bible says the rocks will cry out in your place So praise is an action and praise is an attitude It is an attitude. I won't go into all of this. We discussed this over the past couple of weeks You can get that and watch it online. It's available for you praise. We said changes you Whenever you praise God hit the Bible says in Proverbs 27 and 21 It's like a refining pot of silver and a furnace of gold So is man to his praise the more you praise him the more you refine the more that God is working inside of your life You are literally surrendering to the supreme The supreme God of the universe every time you praise him You're saying I'm not God and you are Praise changes you and praise is a relationship not a ritual So please don't get into the forms of godliness without the power Don't just come check off your religious box because a ritual will get old and cold after a while Are you hearing me? He said in Psalm 81 and 10. I am the Lord your God. I am the Lord your God I want you to know something when he's saying that we a lot of times we read that and we want to think well Yes, he's the Lord of the church, but I just want to let you know. He's the Lord God your God over the center He's the God of the Jews. He's the God of the Muslims. He's the God of the Christians. He's the God of the black He's the God of the white. He's the God of the rich. He's the God of the poor You need to know God is not preferential in anything. He's the God of God's Lord of lords over Everybody well, he's not my God. I tell you God don't believe in atheists. He's the God over Everybody God is God and there is none like him. I Want to remind you before I go to this next point what a W. Tozier said I shared it with you last week worship Is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us Have we become that I can tell you we have in our society We become very religious but without relationship. That is a form that is taken up in the book of Revelation chapter 2 with the church at Ephesus where they're Commended by Christ in that in that letter to the church at Ephesus about how that they have They've done all the things right and they're working good for the kingdom But then he says the problem is you're doing it without love in your heart toward me Another words. You're the mechanical church You got all the amens down in the right places. You got all the you got the screens You got the people you got the programs you got all that stuff, but your heart is far from me God warm our hearts towards the presence of God until we are a diametrically opposed to look like that world out there now the problem is today Many people look at the church and they see stuff on the platform that looks just like the club and The next thing you know people can't tell the difference So they're just as comfortable there as they are in church because we have tried to make this palatable to people When ladies and gentlemen, we're not worshipping the superstar or the satanic thing or whatever that it may be out there This is a different peculiar People and a I guard this platform because ladies and gentlemen, this is not just a song service or play in some music This is worship that goes up before God and let me tell you how important it is if God does not set down and Approve what we're doing on this platform. There'll be no miracles or salvation. There'll be no healings How do I know that God has sat down in the place? Miracles signs and wonders salvation and healing baptism in the Holy Ghost There's a change in the life of an individual that depressing spirit lifts off of you and the joy of the Lord becomes your string The garment of praise is put on instead of the spirit of heaven is ladies and gentlemen We don't know how critical the presence of God is until he's not there So I say like David take not my Holy Spirit from me Let me worship you continually until you sit down and make a change in the play so It's not a ritual. It is a it is a relationship with God But let me take it a step further here tonight and tell you that praise is a promotion Praise will bring promotion What do you mean by that? Well, just being thankful can help you get a good start with somebody we were watching an extremely Spiritual program my wife was watching we were watching Yeah, I'm gonna blame it on her because it was her it's it's she likes this program and and So when family feud came on they asked the question if If you had a chance something like this if you had the chance to be able to tell your boss anything What would you say or? What would you do? And it was like I don't know eight or nine different answers to it and all of them included Beating the boss up now as a boss Of almost 70 people here at Pace Assembly on staff that gave me a great angst in my spirit To think that tomorrow the thoughts of people are about crucifying me That does not make me want to inhabit your presence Preach pastor that doesn't make me want to be around you when I know you want to hit me upside the head Or as they said curse me out and on and on and on the list went Now I know you say that with your mouth But let me say it like this God does not inhabit the complaints gripes or being beat up by his people And I want to let you know that God is the boss Bruce Springsteen is not the boss God is the boss He's the boss of the whole universe So if I want to be and this is it was a reflection to me of the society that we live in here Where we have a complete disdain for authority and it's no wonder ladies and gentlemen that God is despised and rejected and won him out of us because we know that Ultimately every person is going to stand before God whether you're saved or lost Are you here when I'm saying if you go to the cross you judge yourself and you don't stand before God and judgment But if you don't come to Jesus Christ You will stand before him at the great white throne judgment and hear those awful words depart from me you worker of iniquity I never knew you but the Bible said they're gonna be a whole group of people saying Lord Lord Have we not cast out devils in your name? Have we not done this have we not done that and they will hear those awful words ladies and gentlemen the Contrast of that is to say God. I worship you and I'm thankful that you gave me another breath to breathe right now of your heart stopping How close you are to falling over in that seat right now and People picking you up and hauling you to the funeral home. Then you would say Lord. I thank you Come on somebody Lord. I just want to thank you right now I thank you. I praise you. I I give you the glory now. What does God do with that? Well, it's not just some nebulous act that we do The Bible says that when we are a thankful person and a grateful person and we praise him Without pumped and primed and come on y'all raise your hand When you do it from your heart God said I'm gonna set you up for promotion Let me say it like this as they say you attract more with honey than you do vinegar, right? So if you want God's attention and you want to be able to draw near to him And you want to see promotion in your life then praise must be a part of it God blesses a thankful person Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart God will promote the praiser. He will lift you. He will strengthen you He will protect you all of that is elevating you all of that is promoting you God will fight your battles for you He will supply your needs. How many you count that is promotion right there Not just not just some people out there, but a people called by his name not trying to manipulate God For years that and it really it really was a great sounding of the fleshing So to speak during COVID when those have promoted a hyper faith Mentality that wanted to be able to say you tell God what you want and he's gonna do it ladies and gentlemen You can't manipulate God You're not gonna twist his arm When you come before him that he said it is a broken in a contrite spirit He will not refuse When you come before him a humble and thankful come on somebody When you do that God will not despise you he will promote and bless you because you have learned Who and where your source is you can never rise above your source Now you can rise above a resource, but you can never rise above your source So if your source is man You'll never rise above it if yours that's the reason why people are all been out of shape with authorities because Authorities are sitting as the highest level of many people's source and all they're doing is this right here And they feel like that they have to rely on man to be able to get the bless Let me just tell y'all something and I won't go into the detail But in the very Tuesday morning of this week God turned around and showed me and my wife one more time that I can bless you even when you're not even expecting it I don't know you're not getting excited because it's my blessing But the moment you get excited about somebody else's blessing you ought to look up because if your source is God You're next in line for the blessing that's coming your way Anybody one of the blessing of the Lord wave your hand of the Lord and let him know right now God If you're looking for somebody to bless here You can't manipulate him, but I can praise him and then the Bible tells us that he will promote us every promotion Will be preceded by a sacrifice on our part Praising on every level in everything he says what do you mean by that when storms come in I will bless his name When the rain falls I'll bless his name when the sun shines I will bless his name in sorrow and joy and blessing Why because I'm not worshiping the blessing more than the bless her Satan said to God What about this guy Joe? You got a hedge around him if you'll let me have him he'll curse your name God said I've got such confidence in that guy That I'm gonna drop the hedge Now some of you've had the hedge dropped And you're wondering why the attack is coming against your life. Let me say this to you. Don't think it's strange The Bible says the fiery trial that you're in which is to try you He goes on to say that if you'll let that thing have its perfect work inside of your life You're gonna come out tried and proven Now I'm telling you it's hard to be able to say praise the Lord when you're walking through the trial of your life Come on somebody. I'm not even Discounting that but I'm just gonna tell you he said if there's any praise If you can find anything on the inside to praise God for do that and watch what I do With the trouble that you're in In fact the more trouble you're in the more you praise him the more he is your present help And did you hear that he is your present help in time of trouble? He Pre-sent the help to you that you need Y'all missed a good place to shout right there. I'm saying this God is not waiting on you to get in trouble And then trying to figure out God has already got a place of refuge. He's already got his presence He's just waiting on you to turn it around by your praise instead of your complaint So Satan said well job is only watch this job is only praising you God because he's on top right now You're blessing his life so much You're the one who's you're the one who's keep on blessing him and the only reason why he's serving you is because of the blessing He said I'm putting this in my words if you'll dry up those blessings If you'll stop blessing him like you are that hedge around him. He'll curse your name God said really well, let's see I'm gonna pull back the hedge and I'm gonna give you access and you can do everything to him That you want except take his life. Hmm. Isn't that interesting that nowhere in here did Job die? Now he wished he could have died He even complained to God for several chapters I don't know about you, but that gives me hope right there Because I could write several chapters of complaint to God myself. Have I got a witness in the building? Have you ever written several chapters? I mean, I might have even written some books. You understand what I'm saying But God wouldn't let him off the hook And I'm preaching better than you're saying amen tonight. I said God wasn't gonna let him off the hook He wouldn't let Job off the hook and he wouldn't let Satan off the hook He said I'm gonna make sure that this guy comes out on the on the backside of this thing with more than he's ever seen before in his life Now he was already the richest guy around He already had more camels and more donkeys and everything else He was a rich guy plenty of houses and land everything was great and then everything went And you know what Job said the Lord give us and The Lord take of the way But I'm gonna stand right here in the middle of my ashes and say blessed be the name of the Lord I just taught you something right there You better get a hold of because in this coming year what I see and what is on the horizon very well could put People into such a place where they're crying in the middle of their cereal and standing in the midst of ashes But you've got to learn no matter whether I'm up or whether I'm down I serve a God who is able and I will bless the Lord at all time The Lord give us and the Lord take of the way and bless it be the name of the Lord Somebody only lift your hand and bless the name of the Lord tonight. He's worthy Let me tell you this before we move to the next one There is a classic example of promotion in the life of Joseph in the book of Genesis I Never hear Joseph complaining He's a type of Christ. I never hear him complaining He goes from one crisis to the next I mean I only came to bring a little bit of cheese and bread down here to help y'all out And what did y'all do you threw me in the pit? But down in the bottom of this pit. I will bless the Lord at all times And he blessed the Lord until his uber came by And while is watch this while his brothers are lying on him He's taken the uber ride Into his next place of destiny Now I'm gonna tell you when God's hand of favor is upon your life And you will continually bless the Lord and not make it ashamed or hold back in front of people But you'll just bless the Lord anyway and serve the Lord anyway I'm gonna tell you that favor will never come off of your life no matter how bad it gets Look at the life of Joseph Joseph is there in the middle of the pit. He's picked up out of the pit He was put in the pit and somebody had to draw him out He got out of the pit They put him in the uber. He takes a uber ride into Egypt He gets there and the first thing that happens is Potiphar buys him off of the block and brings him to the House and makes him the head of his house Well, praise his name God. Thank you so much and praise God for Potiphar who set me up I mean, it's doing good. I got a bath. I got a place to be able to live. I got some good food. Oh, hold up Mrs. Potiphar shows up Because in every one of your promotion spots, there's going to be a Mrs. Potiphar There's going to be someone who's going to try to steal or tempt or manipulate and that's what she did And you know what Joseph said more than anything I'm going to keep my note you can have my multicolor jacket that my daddy made for me And it's the only thing I have but you can have that I choose to keep the anointing of the favor of God bless the Lord I'm out of here Now realize that Potiphar was the chief Executioner and he could have and probably should have killed Joseph on the spot because of all the accusations that were made from his wife But I probably Potiphar knew good and well that this isn't the first time that there had been Someone that come over and Mrs. Potiphar took it tried to take advantage of him So he said let's just put him in jail and what happens He puts him into prison and the Bible says that they made him the chief over the prison to take care of all the prisoners Praise God What happens? He stays in there and many times you'll forget you think that God has forgotten you because there's been years this passed by But if you look in the book of psalm you'll find out that the Bible says that God used iron to try the soul of David I mean of Joseph He put him in the he put him in the hard place To try his soul why because he knew the end I'm about to make you own the entirety of the country You don't know it yet, but there's a blessing waiting on you if you won't give up now Well, I don't know who I'm talking to tonight here or right out there But I came to tell you if you'll keep on praising him and keep on walking with God God has got a blessing waiting on you In the prison he stays for years and then his best buds said we'll never forget him what they do they forgot God you have you forgot me now. We would start complaining. I Know I would after years and years and years and years. I'd have probably said, you know Lord Come on all you spiritual people out there. I would have at least said Lord question mark Come on What's happening here? I've been I know you've never said this before Lord. I've been faithful. I Pay my tithes I come to church. I serve I do this I mean look at me here tonight. God certainly that merits something I just want to let you know what God has in store for you is so much greater than what you have in store for you That God can't afford to let you pass on a on a cliff note on a cliff note Kind of test. He's got to let you run the whole thing because you can't opt out on this one Because when he puts you in that place He doesn't want you to be up there thinking it was you and your education and you're doing and all that that got you here You'll turn around and say to Pharaoh himself. It was the Lord that did this thing God would peel back the sky and show you the blessings. He has with just your name on it. I Guarantee you it changed your attitude here tonight Bible says it finally he gets out called called By Pharaoh himself to interpret the dream Now I'm just gonna tell you I'm gonna say it like this when I read that I'm gonna move on when I read that I Think Joseph is like Bad to debauch now watch this after all these years You should read this story after all of these years Joseph being in prison and and and literally being forgotten by everybody when Pharaoh calls him You would think and probably I would I need to jump up and run up in there right now But I probably got a little prison smell on me and I know my beard hadn't been trimmed in a while and my clothes hadn't been changed so cool bad to the bone Joe Says I'll be there in a minute. I'm just gonna say to you When you know that God's favors, I'm not talking about manipulating. I'm not talking about trying to handle Pharaoh He said I know where I'm about to step and I'm not walking in with these rags and this smell and this old gangly beard on The Bible said he shaved himself. He got all cleaned up put some nice clothes on got some smell good on come on Somebody he came little Tom Forch He was ready to go and he got ready to step into the presence of Pharaoh because you oh my God You know why because he knew when God brought him out of that prison. He'd never see that place again I came to tell somebody tonight if you'll praise God the where God's gonna take you and where you been You're never gonna see that again. You're going up somewhere. I'll never see that place again. I Been through my pit. I've been I've been through Potter first house I've been in the prison and my next step is the palace. Hallelujah to God promotion all the way I summarize this quickly to tell you that through the process of processes and more than 11 different tests that he put On his brothers because they were liars and cheats. He set them up. Don't just let people come back in your life You better prove them you better put a cup in their bag and send them on back to the house and see if they come back Telling you the truth Y'all not talking to me. You hadn't been where I've been I can tell you right now. You're not gonna get back in my you done lied to me multiple times All of a sudden you're gonna step up in here. No, no, I'm gonna put a cup in your bag We're gonna find out are you true or not because there's only one of me tonight now I will set after that process of checking them out With a humble heart Joseph brings his brothers back in for the final time I'm just gonna tell you It makes my heart weep with joy and Sadness because you know what God's a God who restores the broken heart And he finds up wounded spirits aren't you glad God gives you a second third and fourth chance I want you to get this after all these years These are the same guys that lied About him to their daddy Set a line killed him put they smeared blood on his on his cloak Just to confirm it Years have gone by now and it's tough after you got set up in your new life And then some old things come back in This is not on my notes. I'm free flying right now Here you are you got life going and and and you got you know new new new New relationships and new friends all the kind and then all of a sudden here comes All these jokers who've lied on me and sold me out and and you could turn around at that moment and Miss the next promotion if you don't forgive like Jesus forget Because friends praise is forgiving like Jesus forgave You're getting the ultimate glory Squeezed out of your life when you could turn around and he invited all of his brothers in Now watch this He knew them But they didn't know him You know why because when God does a change in your life You're not recognized by that old crowd you used to run with Things are so changed that they don't see you the way they see you anymore Bible says he pulled him in he said listen. I'm Joseph your brother Well, I don't know who this is for this is not in my notes tonight. I'm Joseph your brother He's breaking down weeping pulls him behind the curtain Shows him he's the man of covenant like they are by their father Jacob in circumcision And then he makes these immortal words known You meant it for evil But God meant it for good come on in God's been waiting on you to get here ladies and gentlemen praise will promote you. I gotta hurry up y'all gotta stop me I'm gonna tell you this is one of my favorite right here. There's relief in your praise Now I don't think you understood what I said. Let me try it again. There is relief in your praise When you praise God God sends the spirit of relief Did you hear what I said? Here's what he said in Isaiah 61 and 3 to a point unto them that mourn in Zion To give unto them beauty for ashes the oil of joy for mourning the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness That they may be called the trees of righteousness the planning of the Lord that he might be glorified God gets no glory out of you remaining on the floor He does not get any glory out of your heaviness and anxiety and stressed out Did you hear what I said? And there's not a one of you in here that don't have some kind of stress in your life And the world has taught us that if we'll take a pill we relieve the stress if we do this We'll relieve the stress if we go on vacation We'll relieve the stress and when you come back from vacation you're stressed out over what you did on your vacation and now you got a right What's the deal? What's the answer? What's the answer to the anxiety of the world? America is the greatest purveyors of Of depression medicine than any other nation in the world But I got an answer for your anxiety and stress level here tonight If you'll praise him You'll watch the spirit of heaviness And a garment of joyous praise fall upon your shoulders I'm gonna tell you that's hard when you're going through it now. I'm just telling you It's hard when you're going through it. You're feeling heavy. I get it been there Heavy weighted down But he tells us in the scripture That glory Has weight to it as well Afflictions have weight but glory has weight I'm trading the weightiness of me carrying my own burdens And i'm casting it by my praise upon the lord And suddenly he gives me an exchange because every time god every time we give god something we're exchanging for something I give you my sins. You give me your forgiveness I give you my burdens. You give me the lightness and the joy and the garment of praise Are you hearing what i'm saying burdens are lifted write this down if it's not on your paper Psalm 68 19 Bless be the lord who daily bears our burdens. Did you hear that? The god of our salvation that's Psalm 68 19. You better write that down You're gonna need that day after tomorrow You hear me? I needed it when we walked in the front door of dollywood I talked to somebody else here in this congregation was up there at the same time And they went on another day and they said we'll never go back Because when we walked in there were a million people I couldn't get a hot dog. I got some popcorn Praise the lord come on now The bible says god daily bears our burdens when we praise him Praise is the key of david Praise unlocks things The bible says this follow this and i'm moving quickly revelation three and seven and to the angel of the church of philadelphia Right these things see if he that is holy and he that is true and he that had the key of david follow that He that openeth and no man can shutteth he that shutteth and no man can open it What does the bible say in psalm 100 that was our key scripture enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts With praise get this locks are only on if there's something of value behind the door And the key of david Is praise that unlocks the valued things of god That are held in heaven for a release Paul and sylas didn't have a physical key to get out of that jail in the philipi But when they started praising god god opened the jail with his supernatural key and let them out Let me tell you what praise does this is not on your paper If you'll praise god your praise can actually affect other people because when paul and sylas prayed in the jail The bible said every cell was opened up because those two guys set the environment This is one of my favorite. Let me give you this and i'm out of your way praise gives us access Access i don't know about you but access is an important thing Because when you've got access to someone especially someone who can give an answer to you or Or meet a need or provide something for you and and and other people don't have that access Not only does it make you feel special But i can tell you ladies and gentlemen It should mean something to you of value When you've got access the bible said in psalm 118 17 He said i shall not die but live and declare the works of the lord The lord hath chasing me sore but he hath not given me over to death Open to me the gates of righteousness and i will go into them and i Will praise the lord this gate of the lord under which the righteous shall enter I will praise thee for thou has heard me and art become my salvation ladies and gentlemen Praise is a command if you're going to get access You're going to come into his gates with praise and thanksgiving unto his name So the pattern of worship For us entering in all the way back if you put that i'd have to let me flip it back there There we go Right in here the access that we have into the presence of god by the type and shadow and the pattern of the tabernacle of moses Is this first Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and we stop because there's blood first the blood Come on somebody say first the blood First the blood that means the sacrifice. This is a type and shadow of the cross of jesus christ Then the water this is not only baptism but sanctification First the blood then the water then the smoke What is the smoke? Well, i'm not talking about i'm not talking about uh Can we go to the next one? Can we go to the next one? This thing is give out on me Go to the next there we go First the blood Then the water and then the smoke Well, this smoke was not just you know, they're doing a control burn on on eggling This is the smoke of the shekinah glory of god coming down So ladies and gentlemen, let me make this very very plain to you It's no good for you to just stop out front and all you do is sacrifice by the blood you come in here You lift your hands you go through the calisthenics, but you never access the presence of god You haven't arrived. Listen the glory is not out here. The glory is in here The answer to your prayer is in here Watch this the bible says in his presence is fullness of joy and at his right hand There's pleasure forever more. What is he he said everything you have need of is in my presence Now the presence of god permeated the entirety of the place in the tabernacle of moses But he says i am seated between the cherubim the sacrifice or the shekinah glory smoke cloud Was the presence of god now they camped around about that and these tents three million jews But they wanted to find out if god was there they peaked the tent curtain open And if they saw the pillar of cloud the shekinah glory Then you god was in the midst of them and they laid down and sleep for the night Are you hearing what i'm saying ladies and gentlemen, let us not be an outer court church Let us take in and commune with god and worship until we come into the shekinah glory of god And the bible says that when solemn dedicated that temple the bible said on the very day of dedication That the whole place was full with the shekinah glory of god so much so That the preachers could not preach because the glory cloud had descended ladies and gentlemen sunday morning as i was preaching Suddenly the glory cloud came in consumed the whole place I had to stop preaching because the glory started preaching god give us services Where the glory comes in and people walk out and say surely the lord was in this place Say amen somebody This all has to do with access into presence of god And i don't have time to go through uh probably any more of this but i just want to say in conclusion here tonight There is victory that's in your praise Victory is in your praise. There'll always be victory in your praise David Let me say it like this. This is the art. This is the tabernacle of moses When Eli the high priest and his two boys Were in charge of what was going on around the tabernacle The bible says that they lost the ark of the covenant to the philistines to the enemy You hear me So i want you to note this picture your church But no glory now here's the problem Read it for yourself. Here's the problem they had They had the ark of the covenant had been stolen by the philistines and yet they kept right on Doing all of the same religious routine and ritual Without the glory of god and the ark of the covenant the philistines now listen What is praise to you and what will cause the anointing of god to come on your life and praise other people will look at and say You're foolish. You're crazy and don't mean anything like that, but let me just say this to you god has a wonderful sense of humor because what works for you will not work for the enemy You got to be in relationship with the lord otherwise what you think you can get a hold of by accessing god through some mechanics You'll die sitting in a church somewhere because you don't know the god of the box So the ark of the covenant is gone and the philistines got a hold of it the enemies of the nation of israel Let's see. Let's call them amlicized. Hey, let's call them hamas They got out there and said well, we'll do the same thing You know what they did they said Oh god and rubbed on it god said i'm not your god And just to prove to you that i'm not your god, but i am the almighty god philistines god i'm a bad case of hemorrhoids and for those of you that don't know what that is It's hemorrhoids It's in the bible. You should read that bible sometime. There's some stuff in there And you know what they said Get this ark away from us What is a blessing to some Will be a curse to others They said get rid of this thing. So they just let it they put it on a on a cart and let it just go out in the woods That's what they did. You should read this bible this i'm not making this up y'all looking at me like i'm making this story up All the sudden back home in jerusalem david realizes You people are not getting anywhere You're worshiping in a church that has no presence of god You got all the routine you got the showbread you got the communion You got all this other stuff, but you don't have any presence of god and without the presence of god It's just a club. It ain't no church So you know what david said Is there anybody to go back and help me bring the ark of the covenant back to jerusalem back to zion david gathered up a whole bunch of people and said we're going to get it and guess what it was only seven miles down the road Seven miles down the road It's only six miles To avalan boulevard from where we're sitting right now And some folks are watching online tonight because they're more comfortable in their pj's Y'all stay with me. I tell the truth and lie not david comes along and says hey We're doing church, but we have no god in the church We can we can fry some chicken But there's no power of god in here david said let's go get the ark and bring it back to zion and he goes all the way over Finds that ark and he builds a cart And puts some oxen in front of it And said come on. Let's go back to zion problem If you don't do it the way god prescribed it It's not acceptable So i'm gonna come in here and sit down on the pew and they're singing and worshiping Netflix Bless me lord He ain't hearing nothing Because you're trying to do it with boards and big wheels And you're gonna miss the glory of god David starts going down and all of a sudden one of his servants reaches up to steady it We want to make sure god don't fall off the cart. Let me say this to you Don't you worry about god All you got to worry about is you let me say this to you if god's on the cart get on the cart If god wants to fall off on the floor get on the floor wherever god is you better be When he touched the glory of god he died in that spot How many of you know that brought that praise service to an end right there Killing in the church will do it every time Boom there he lay he said hold up david said hold up We got to change the way we do this. I need to go back and read the manual When in doubt read the book. I love how this all played out David said all right while i'm trying to figure this out come on bring it over here Don't touch it just bring Get your hands off of it and come on over here. You're gonna die Mr. Obed We got a problem This box got angels on top of it We need to leave it here with you for a little while You all right with that? Oh, yeah, Obed said I think I know what that is. He said I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark. I know what that is Bring it on in Set it right there in the living room Move the coffee table out of the way because we don't need the coffee table Come on somebody. We don't need to couch what we need is the presence of god In the whole house. Come on somebody Mrs. Obed walked in and she said hold up I just got this house taken care of and now you're dirty enough the carpet and by the way, what is this? I didn't order this from amazon He said king david said we need to keep this. Do you know what this is? I don't care what it is I want this and hey listen That we're changing the order of things This is the most important thing we can have in our house as the presence of god And guess what out of all the houses All the houses that he could have stopped by and let it sit for a while He chose our house. So everybody in here get on your face and we're going to worship god now It is said by the writers of old that when david gone for three months trying to figure out how to do it And when he does figure it out, he said it's not to be put on a cart And and and some manufactured man is to be bore on the shoulders of the priest Because the glory of god is to rest upon you and upon me not on something made by man's hands And the bibles are the tradition is say that when king david got back over there and he saw obed's house He looked in obed's window and saw obed and obed was dancing and praising god around the ark And he said that's the way we're going to do it all the way back to sigin They got it put it on the shoulders and they took seven steps and stopped him made a sacrifice under god right there And then they took seven more steps and made another sacrifice Thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars was spent on bringing back the presence of god to zion Not to the tabernacle of moses god said i'll not be put into ritual and religion anymore He said i'm going to want you to take me up to the next level Down here at shiloh is where the tabernacle of moses was but when david came in He said we're done with all of that ritual and routine. That's dead and dried up Let us go up to mount zion Where there's a one room tent and it's me and you and night and day There were praisers all around that tabernacle writing songs of worship unto god Let me give you this and i close here tonight from the book of acts chapter 15 The bible says this ladies and gentlemen that in the last days god is going to raise back up The tabernacle of david come on somebody where we will worship and praise our god Into the presence of the lord everybody get on your feet and let's put a little practice into our praise here tonight He's raising up the tabernacle of david again Come on lift those hands and open your mouth tonight to a god who is worthy of your praise Thank him for what god's done for you today. Thank him for what he's done for you this week Thank him for what he's going to do for you into the future God i praise you that i've got access into the very presence of god I don't have to wait to get to pace assembly.
