enhance your spirit this morning we give honor to your pastor Bishop Alexander to his beautiful wife sister evangelist mother of the faith Alexander to all the ministers of the gospel to the deacon and to the daughter of Zion I greet you in the most excellent name of all time now Allah now Buddha now Muhammad the Bible say every knee shall bow in every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord in the word of God in the vision of Psalms 34 the 19th verse in the first verse as I was dealing last night me and the apostle was playing some dominoes and I told the apostle I got to get ready because I'm getting ready to go into the heat of the battle tomorrow in Long Beach and I said Lord what you want me to say to bless the church of living God and I was tossed to and fro scriptures was coming to me and I said Lord I can't sleep what do you want me to say to help your people to strive to serve you in the last and evil days and God told me go to the book of the vision of Psalms the 34th chapter the first verse in the 19th verse the first verse said I will bless the Lord at all times his praises shall continue to be in my mouth in the 19th verse it reads like this in your hearing many many are the many are the of the righteous but the Lord deliver them out of them all I would like to use for a topic or a subject all I've been through I still gotta praise all I've been through I still gotta praise I don't know what you've been through but I've been through some heavy blows but through all I've been through I still gotta praise to God I refuse to let the devil manipulate my praise I refuse that anybody take my joy you might stroke me from top to bottom but you can't take the joy of the Lord you must understand that that live golly must suffer persecution don't think that you're not exempt not to go through something but you got to go through something to talk about something to tell somebody that God is able to bring you out the Bible say the righteous cry in the Lord hear it and deliver them out of all their trouble the Bible have already said in one of God's word in scripture said we are trouble on every side but yet not distress persecuted but not forsaken cast down but not destroyed the devil might be a trouble maker but God's a trouble shooter God don't need no psychic to see your past your present and future events he knows what you're gonna go through before the thing come up on you he knows how much you can bear he knows how much you can take some people can take more than other but Paul acknowledge to every believer when you are converted strengthen your brother don't cast him aside don't talk about him don't wound his confidence but restore him back in the spirit of Nectar in other words don't pause him but enhance him said you can make it you can do all things through Christ with strength in me see my hope is not in the president my hope is not in my 401k because I've been on the job for 30 years and I'm getting ready to report that I have retired there have been many folks that have retired and didn't reap the benefit of their retirement some have died a month later a year later but thank God that all your blessings come from God and Paul said one thing that I desire all my needs according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus some of y'all have been going through some heavy situation in the last 2 months in the last year and it seem like it's getting worse than ever before and an enemy say won't you just give up and don't give God no praise and the enemy is telling you that before it gets better it's going to get worse but you got to understand that he that shall come will come and will not tear when God show up everything got to vanish when God show up the devil got to flee because the Bible said touch not my anointed and do my prophets no horn when you go through something you got to acknowledge our blessed the Lord at all times his praises shall continue to be in my mouth you can't wait to Marvin Sapp come out with a new CD to get your groove or get your praise on but you got to look back down memory lane said taste and see that the Lord is good he's good in the morning he good at night time he's good when you sleep because the angel of the Lord is a camp that them that fear him and God have not given us the spirit of fear but love and a sound mind I just stopped by to let you know that whatever you're going through counted all joy because of trying the test and trial is to built you up that ever before you got to understand the Bible said no weapon form against you shall prosper in every word that rises up against you in judgment you can condemn I don't know about you but I'm excited when I'm going through something how can you be excited when test and trial is upon you and things are going wrong in your relationship with your family because God is able to enhance your relationship he's able to remodel that relationship back to it used to be and you understand my brothers and sisters that David said we are trouble on every side he said I would have fainted unless I saw the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living see there folks came praise God but David said while I live I exalt the name of my God I don't need Kurt Carr to stop in Long Beach to tell me to praise him in the sanctuary but David said I was glad when they sent to me let us go in the house of the Lord see when you come in the house of the Lord you're expecting to be excited when you come in the house of the Lord victory when you come in the house of the Lord you're looking for an answer to your problem that took you down and when the word of God is penetrate in your spirit it exalts you to know oh God you are great and you're great to be praised I don't know about you but some of y'all oh God some backer praise what is backer praise you didn't praise him last week you freeze up him two weeks ago but you got to tell the devil praises time praises divided by praises it could nothing but praise I can't wait till I get my blessing to praise him but in the midst of what I'm going through I'll still give God some praise yes I might be wounded but I still got to praise how can you praise God when you're wounded because the Bible said he was rude for my transgressions and by his strikes I'm healed thank you doctor for your report but I got another doctor that said who report you gonna believe yes thank you doctor for what you said I've been diagnosed with but God said the name of the Lord is a strong tower and the righteous run their end and they are saved I just stopped by to let somebody know that whatever you going through it's already been fixed whatever you going through it's already been abolished because the Bible said they that wait upon the Lord they shall renew their strength and sometime you might be hurt and sometime you might be down but you got to tell the devil many are the fiction of the righteous but the Lord hurt him all you must understand my brothers and sister when you call on the name of your God he knows how to stop by your neighborhood you know how to stop by your house you know how to stop by whatever you from that situation and that's why you got to understand my brothers and sister that God said don't worry because I said I'm with you always to the ends of the world when everyone turn a death on you and everyone try to tell you you can't make it you got to pet yourself on the back and say I come too far the back up now I got too much of the investment in serving God because God been good to me not only when I been up but God been good to me when I been down when enemy coming like a flood the spirit of the Lord will lift up a stand up you understand my brothers and sisters that you got to go through something to acknowledge that God is on my side you must understand the day God is not going to take a vacation on the saints of God he's not going to take a weekend off but he's always trying to pull you down from the will of God he trying to make you give up on your God but you got to tell the devil I'm dissuaded I come too far to go back on God you got to understand my brothers and sisters that God knows the way of the righteous but ungodly your parish but you got to understand my brothers and sisters you got to call on the God that's able to help you in the time of what you're going through but you can't let nobody criticize you and tell you that God took vacation on the prayer of the righteous the Bible says the righteous cry and the Lord hear it and deliver them out of them all give yourself broken heart and the Christ our spirit God would not despise understand your friends will desert you your family will reject you but God said I will not let the righteous be defeated because I'm able to come by and break you out the situation I'm able to let you know it's not by might it's not by power but it's by my spirit of the Lord and what the spirit of the Lord is there's liberty I come to tell you you can't wait to the 4th of July come to get your independent the praise of God but when you got the baptism of the Holy Ghost and when you got filled with the name of Jesus applied in your system you can bless the Lord at all time his praises shall my brothers and sister the enemies always trying to come against you when you come and do right with God when you trying to tell folks how God did this and God done that and God always make a way out of no way the enemy will try to tell you your prayers and your fastening your praying is in vain but you got to tell yourself the same God that delivered me last week the same God that's going to deliver me this week the same God that brought me out last month is the same God that's going to bring me out this month he's I'm Nibbleson and

y'all been a long time like I said this is me now I don't run around like I used to you know I'm still trying to get my script back but God is good God is wonderful back in hand of the bishop what a wonderful wonderful message that the Lord has sent to us on this Sunday morning now you know when you read through the scripture time and time again and you see you think I got it now what are they going to bring out of that scripture that I don't know the Lord blessed you to bless me the psalmist said I sought the Lord and he heard me and he delivered me from my fear the thing that came between him and his victory was fear and the rest of his testimony says they looked unto him and were lightened and their faces were not ashamed and somewhere along the way as I was growing up I heard somebody say men don't cry the psalmist says this poor man cried this poor man understood where he was what his position was and it wasn't where he wanted to be but he cried in spite of being a man this poor man cried and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all all all of his trouble praise God praise God praise God if you're not where you ought to be praise God if you're not where you ought to be cry out if you cry the Lord said I'll hear you and I'll set you free hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus so now I say at this juncture come on all your workers guess what it's crying time now the Lord sent this message who did he send it to everybody and we recognize the fact every misstep is a transgression against God and so how many haven't sinned since you've been received the Holy Ghost nobody everybody now what we need to do is let everybody stand I'm making it easy so you don't have to get up to go to the altar now you're up and if you have to close your eyes close your eyes if you know that you have a need from God come to the altar and cry come on come on come on thank you Jesus you cry he'll hear you if you cry he'll deliver you if you cry he'll save you thank you Jesus hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus come on somebody Jesus Christ the same yesterday today I'm excited about Jesus this time let's worship the Lord in our giving declaration I continue I'm going to continue to make this declaration this is a tide fan church 100% tide fan run you through all the scriptures and everything but you know how good God's been to you you know where you were when God found you you didn't have nothing vernacular that comes to my mind but you was poured in Job's turkey amen when the Lord found you he put your feet in the right direction he parted he showed you the way to go the psalmist said thy word have a hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you and that happened because he followed Jesus so it is the will of the Lord that the people who attend this church supported and I I know the devil the devil does this when the statement comes out he takes it twisted and so now if you're a tide payer I ain't talking to you why would you say that I pay tides well I'm talking for someone who perhaps does not have the grace to give and I'm asking them to give to the Lord what is do him he said a tenth of what you got he said that's mine and if you feel anything good towards me add some on top of that give me a tip on top of that alright let's see we have let's stand let's stand not going to call any names but one birthday offering is for
