 How's everybody doing tonight? Come on, you can do better than that. How's everybody doing tonight? Bible says, I'll bless the Lord at all times. And His praise will be continually on my lips. Amen? Has he been good to you this week? He gets you out of bed this morning? Hallelujah. Please stay on me and take out your prayer and praise. I want to keep the call your family and prayer as well. And sympathy there. And all the needs that are represented in the house. And as well as lift your hand. If you have a need here, I know I do. Amen. Let's go to the throat of grace right now. Father, we come to you in Jesus' name. We thank you, God, that you're here. And that you answer our prayers, Father. We thank you that it's your heart, God, that every need be supplied, Lord. So we lift up our unsaved loved ones tonight, Lord. And we ask that you would save to the uttermost, God, that salvation would come. Lord, all the people that need a touch from healing, Lord, that you purchase with your blood on the cross right now, Lord, we claim that, Lord. We plead your blood over them right now in Jesus' name. Even those watching my line and in the hospital bed, we plead the blood over you. Healing was purchased for you on the cross. And we thank you tonight for your faithfulness, Jesus. Can we celebrate Him tonight? Can we celebrate His faithfulness? Give Him my hand. Cross the aisles. Shake a hand. Hug a neck. Let our brother and sister know you love Him. Online guests, we're so honored that you would be here with us this evening. We counted a privilege and a joy. Let us know where you're watching. We have someone online that would love to chat with you as well. And we'd love to agree with you for prayer that you're needing in your life. In Jesus' name, God bless you. Amen. Just a few announcements I'd like to make you aware of. This Sunday, say this Sunday, we're receiving our Guatemala Christmas offering. And we're asking that you would seek the Lord on what He would have you to give. Amen. It's good that blessed it He, that giveth. Amen. And we're so blessed to be able to sow into that ministry over there and to see the fruit of that. So pray and be praying about that. Also, you see these Christmas bells on each side? We're asking that you'll come and grab some and bring back a gift. Amen for Christmas or a cash value as well. Amen. Hallelujah. Who in here tonight wants to be a giver? It's our act of worship to give tonight. And we have prepare buckets for you in the back. You can also go online. We have a QR code. You can mail in a stamp and mail it in as well. Amen. Hallelujah. Father, we thank you tonight for the privilege we have to give in your kingdom. God, we ask that you would bless the offering tonight to meet the needs. And we give you all the praise in Jesus' name. Amen. Good to see you tonight. You happy and you know it? Amen. Wonderful to see all of you here. All of you that are joining us online. We're blessed to be able to have you here. Pray that God will just bless your life in this study as a brand new study that's going on tonight. And I would encourage you to get your Bibles right now. And let's join together in the Word of God. While you're doing that, I don't want you to miss the fact that this coming weekend is a very special weekend for missions. I know that Mission Sunday was just past weekend, but every year we are reaching out and ministering to the needs of people that are in Guatemala, specifically children and adults for that matter. So this coming weekend we will receive a very special love offering for what's taking place in Guatemala as I speak right now. There is the medical missions that actually precedes the Christmas outreach that goes on down there in the anniversary service. So right now there are thousands of folks that have gathered at the Glory Chapel in Escapulos, Guatemala. And there are doctors and dentists and nurses and so forth that are volunteering their time. They go down there every year and perform surgical procedures as necessary, dental work as necessary, all kinds of checkups and things that are going on for the folks that are in the mountains of Guatemala. And that's the reason why that us following up after that and minister to the needs of people during this particular time of year is so vitally important. So I want you to be praying about what the Lord would have you to do in reaching out. The amount is not, I'm not telling you what an amount to be or large or small. I'm just saying to you that everybody do something and God then takes it and he puts his hand on it and multiplies it to exceed the need. So I encourage you to be able to do that. May God bless you for your efforts in thinking of others during Christmas. I know that it is a challenging time that's taking place as you can see in our world. And I just would encourage you here before we jump into this lesson to be very diligent and very much on your eyes open and alert to what's taking place in our world. There have been all kinds of threats and things that have been circulating. And I just want to encourage you to be very, very keen and very eye open and alert to what's happening in our world and in your world where you're working at all those kind of things. I know that and I can sense in my spirit that there is things that are on the horizon. And it's important for us to not be asleep in this hour and continue to pray diligently for the nation of Israel and all that's taking place there. As I told you several weeks ago, there would come a time when they would start talking about ceasefires and pauses and all that kind of thing. And that's exactly what's taking place. But until the job is done, until hostages are released and Hamas is no more. And I mean that with all of my heart. I pray that they all get saved and not think about 72 virgins and given their life for Allah. I would encourage them to give their life to Jesus Christ because He is the God who they're going to be standing in front of, not 72 virgins. And Israel needs to continue to be supported and I just encourage you to do that faithfully in your prayers. And I know that the God of heaven is watching over and seeing all that's taking place. Amen. Praise God. Father, we thank you for your word tonight and we pray that you would open up our understanding. Let this word be strength and encouragement to our souls. And we believe right now, mighty God, that you're going to speak to us and every person receiving the faith that they need just by hearing the word of God. And we give you praise for it in Jesus' mighty name. And everybody said a good amen. Amen. One more time thank everybody for your diligence and effort and work, whatever that you may have done to help with Pace Family Fest. I would just say it like this. Woody, thank you. If you know, you know. That's all I can say. And it was a tremendous success. Let me just say to you that the back pin operator who was back back behind making sure that all of the bulls were in their right place and moving things around and so forth. It was so vital. He sat over here next to Zane Sunday morning, walked from his seat to the altar to surrender his life to Jesus Christ. I want to say his name's Brian. I believe that's right. Brian was his name. And you know, in the providence of God, God always orchestrates things. And so he came Sunday morning, gave his life to Jesus Christ. And that for me was the highlight. And then I found out from Leslie Cook, Zane's mom, she came up after and she had no idea what I was planning on doing. I wanted to give a Bible to him. And Sunday morning while he was sitting here, as you well know, we're giving out Bibles every Sunday. And so the Bible was given out and somebody from the back back here received it. And he leaned over and told her Sunday morning, he said, you know, I wish that golden ticket would have been up underneath my seat. I would really like to have a Bible. Well, little did he know, I had one Sunday night for him and signed it, put his name on it as the day when he gave his life to Jesus Christ and presented that Bible to him. How many of you know God knows your deepest heart and concern? Amen? I had no idea until we presented the Bible to him and I'm delighted. That's the person you want to give a Bible to. Somebody who's hungry for the Word, right? Amen. So have you got yours? Yeah. Yeah, 12 of you. Come on. They're coming little bit by little bit. Amen. Amen. All right. For those of you who didn't bring your Bible, you better bring a hardcover Bible. You know, I use my iPad up here, but I have my backup notes just in case this thing goes down. So I just want to encourage you to bring your Bible with you. And since you've got it, why don't you open it up and open it up to the book of Psalm, chapter 100. Let's look at Psalm 100 tonight. Praise God. In fact, I would like for you to read this with me in concert. Can you do that? Six of you. The unity is strong in the room tonight. In Psalm 100, if you found it, say, good, amen. Amen. Let's read together in concert, good and strong. Ready? Read. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all you land. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord, He is God. It is He that hath made us and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving. You believe that tonight? Say amen. Praise God. So I want to introduce this subject in this series tonight. We're going to be talking to you about praise over the next few weeks. Praise and worship, the combination thereof, whatever that you might like to say. But the fact is, is the praise has its place and worship has its place. Let me say it like this to you. And we'll dig into the details of it as we go along. Praise builds the house. Worship is when God moves in. He inhabits the praises of His people. Worship is when He sits down in the room. If God is not sitting in the room that you have been praising in, then it's not God's fault. You've fallen into a form. What I want you to do tonight is understand what praise is. And this evening I'm going to give you about seven things on your paper concerning the power of your praise. And this is where I want to start this entire subject matter this evening about in this particular shot right there. There we go. Can y'all brighten that up a little bit? Let me go one more time right here. No, that's not it. That's the one I wanted right there. What you're looking at is a cutaway model of the Tabernacle of Moses. How many of you have never been in the study of the Tabernacle before? Many of you have when you've been right here with me and that's wonderful. The Tabernacle of Moses, the blueprint was given on Mount Sinai when they were coming out of Egyptian bondage, came over into the wilderness and it was that Moses went up on the mountain and the Ten Commandments were not the only things that he received up there. He received the laws that they would be governing themselves by, but he also received the blueprint of the Tabernacle of Moses that would be built by the children of Israel and would travel with them as their church, their worship sanctuary. It is a three-part structure. Now why am I teaching you this? Why am I telling you this tonight? Because you have to have a concept of the Tabernacle in order to understand, enter into his gates with Thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. You cannot truly understand praise and worship and what it means to worship God unless you have a working understanding of the Tabernacle of Moses. I want to tell you several years ago when a teacher came to this church, when we were working here and opened up this scripture on the Tabernacle and began to break it down, I can tell you it revolutionized my life and understanding of what praise and worship was all about, the sacrifices, all of it as we walk through it. And the more I studied it and the more you study it, the more you're going to find out how vital a clear understanding of the Tabernacle is. Now there's the Tabernacle of Moses, there's the Tabernacle of David, okay? The temple that was built by Solomon and so forth, more permanent structure. This was a mobile tent moving with the children of Israel in the wilderness constructed by the children of Israel out of the fabrics and badger skins and all that kind of thing. The poles, every line, everything has its place. Just for example, all of these lines, all of these ropes right here on the inside and the outside. Everything in here speaks of Christ and everything in here has a name or a specific quality of what you use it for. For instance, the ropes. The ropes right here on the outside and on the inside are literally words that are used spirit and word. They're called spirit and word that didn't impress you. Spirit and word. The spirit and the word are working together to literally hold up the structure of the columns that are there. For instance, this column, this pillar right here is five foot in its height, five foot. Five is the number of grace. So now you've got the spirit and the word that's working together to hold up grace so that you could go in and worship God in spirit and in truth. Are you hearing what I'm saying? So this is what you see in the entirety and the overall structure. Everything has its place. Everything has its meaning. Everything is so important that you get this understanding. Tonight I'm not teaching you the tabernacle. I just want you to see what we're looking at. First of all, on the east side there was only one gate, one door. What does that say to you? Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me. Alright? So entering in, they were only allowed to enter in in one location. And of course Psalm 100 right here says if you're going to enter in, how do you enter in? We enter into his gates with Thanksgiving, giving thanks, and into his courts, into this court. So this area on the outside is identified as the outer court. Then in this location, I'll show you the cutaway here in a moment. This location up to this point was the inner court. And then in this location is what's called the Holy of Holies. It is a representation of the tripart being of man, spirit, soul, body. Do I need to draw on the board? Spirit, the Holy of Holies. Soul that contains the mind, will, and emotions represented by the furniture in the tabernacle. Okay? The table of showbread, the golden altar of incense, the golden lampstand that is there. Alright? The heavy veil that separated during that particular time where the Ark of the Covenant was. The Ark of the Covenant was the location that Moses could go in and out at his desire to meet with God. He said, I will meet with you and I will meet with you between the cherubim. There was in this room no exterior light. It was complete darkness except the light that was shining off of that was none other than the presence of God, otherwise known as the Shekinah Glory. So there was a pillar of cloud that was there all the time and that represented that God was home. When the flag is raised at Buckingham Palace, when the flag is raised at the White House, it says that the resident is home. I want you to know every time I'm about to preach right now, all out beyond the borders of the tabernacle is where all of the children of Israel camped. The Levites got to camp closer. Why is that? Because when Moses was coming down off of the mountain, the Levites were the close worshipers. They were the workers inside of the tabernacle. Why did they get to camp closer to the tabernacle? As opposed to being way out here. Because when God said he came down, Moses came down off the mountain, and Joshua said, hey, it's the sound of the war down there. And Moses said, that's not war, that's the sound of an orgy going on down there. When he came down, they were circling around the golden calf, jumping around, slinging rings and clothes and all kinds of mess was going on. And he commanded, Moses spoke and said, all of you that are on the Lord's side, get over here. The Levites made their choice and got over on Moses' side. Therefore, they have the privilege of camping closest to the presence of God. Come on, somebody. Do you understand that the closer you are to the presence of God, let me make it plain for you. You go to the camp and you build a fire out there. There you are around the fire. You're wondering why you're so cold, where you're too far away from the fire. But if you'll pull up, I'm going to have to put somebody's eye out with this thing. If you'll pull up around that fire, the closer you are to it, the warmer you'll become. In fact, if you get close, you'll get hot. Don't make me teach there. So here we are with the presence of God. And let me just say this to you. This is the reason this is all kind of a prelude to this entire lesson series. The goal was the presence of God. The achieving goal was to be in the presence of God. Why do I want, let me go back here, why do I want to spend my entire life sacrificing out here with the blood sacrifice, washing at the labor, and never go any further with God into the presence of God? Why do I want to go out in the outer court and then only come in and cut the wicks on the golden lampstand and put some more incense on the golden altar and then fill up the flagons of wine and redo the unleavened bread and not have the privilege of going into the Holy of Holies? Are you hearing what I'm saying? Man, I'm feeling something coming up and down my spine now. So, you know, if all you do is... Oh, God, I'm about to ring somebody's bell. If all you do is come to the church and you come through the doors and all you do is sacrifice your blood. So, here I am, Lord, and then you get a little sanctification here at the golden labor, the brazen labor, and you wash off yourself and then you leave out and, oh, what a wonderful service today. Or maybe you get a little closer and you go into the inner court right there and you work a little bit in there and you feel better. And all the people, all the people, I say all the people, many people today are operating strictly off of that works mentality. They have no intimacy, intimacy with God. All they do is serve, serve, serve, and after a while they begin to feel like this is enough. But I want to tell you that there is an inner chamber. There is a place that is designed for you to meet God. Well, Pastor, there's a veil out there. Oh, no, there's no veil no more. See, when Jesus died on the cross, His hands, the hands of the Almighty God, tore it from the top to the bottom. There's not a string. There's not a fiber. There's not a cloth. There's not a color. There's not a badger skin. There's nothing between you and God. Jesus has pierced the veil, ripped it from top to bottom, and now we have access. So now the Book of Ephesians says that this chamber and this chamber are actually one. What do you mean by that? What I mean is while you're out here praising God and you're trying to get to the place of the intimacy of worship where God is sitting down communing with you, I don't know how to tell you the difference between praise and worship. I don't know for you when you move from praise to worship. It is not a song style. It is not fast songs or slow songs. What it is is when I am praising God and moving in the spirit of worship in Him, suddenly He translates me into a holy place. And the next thing I know, I'm all up in the Shekinah Glory. I don't need your light. I got His light. I don't need you to join me. I am one on one with God and the Shekinah Glory of God envelops my entire being. Now, ladies and gentlemen, what I say to you is this. What good is just going to church, going through the routine. If I don't have an encounter with a God who answers by fire and falls like pillar of smoke, that's when church becomes boring. That's when people quit church because there's nothing beyond where they are in the inner court and the outer court. And if you never have a personal encounter, well, Pastor, when does that happen? I want to submit to you today. You need to have an encounter with God in the Holy of Holies on a daily basis. And it's really not about the songs you sing. In fact, your praise and worship is not even about the songs we sing. Now, I'm about to knock a few idols down here tonight because what we've done is elevated music on a church platform and the singers to a place of idol worship to the degree that if it doesn't fit or feel like I think it should or go the way it is, then somehow I have not worshiped. Ladies and gentlemen, long before you get here, long before you get there, you've got to start out here. This is where all the prep work starts taking place. Did you hear what I said? You can't just waltz up into God's presence and talk about, I'm here. Bless me now. Come on, somebody. I'm here checking off my religious box. Well, you can check your religious box off, but you'll never encounter a holy God in the Holy of Holies until there is first a sacrifice made, a sanctification made, an offering and communion with God, a reading of the Word, the Word by the candlestick getting in, and then I stand before that, before that, now here's the thing. While there is not, see, y'all should have never put this picture up here. While there is not a heavy veil that has spanned the thickness of a man's hand, that's the reason why it could not be ripped by two yoga box in the Bible says, that veil is no longer there. It's been ripped from top to bottom by the hands of the Almighty God. However, there is still a veil there and Paul calls it the veil of the flesh. So the veil you're dealing with now is not the veil my God, I'm about to run. The veil that you're dealing with now is not some physical veil that is standing in your way. It is now the veil of your flesh. And until your flesh dies in that outer cord out there, you'll never be able to get to the Holy of Holies and have an intimacy of worship with Him. You've got to die because the only, listen, if you went into the Holy of Holies and you were unclean, you're a dead man right there. Nobody lives, God gives His glory to no one. There'll be, what does the Scripture say? No flesh will glory in my presence. We don't deserve anything. But a humble heart, David said, and a contrite spirit will gain you access by the means of praise and worship. Not, hold it, not complaining and murmuring and griping. But praise and worship will gain you access into a place that is reserved. Y'all, somebody better stop me here tonight. It is reserved for those who are not coming to check off their religious box, but they find themselves moving into a place where they and God are alone in the presence of God. I submit to you, there's no preacher that's going in with you. Not even your spouse can go in there with you. Nobody can give you what God can give you in the inner chamber. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to bullshit. You don't have to wait until you get to church to be able to encounter the Holy Shekinah of God. As a matter of fact, if you'll build him a house where you are, he'll step right on in and sit right on down. Y'all do me a favor and bring me about six chairs over here real quick. I'll give you something to write here in a minute. This is the pattern to get in, and you have heard me say before, when the pattern is right, the glory will fall. So listen to me. If our praise and our worship is not meeting the pattern, follow me, they're just bringing chairs. You've seen that before. Look at me. If the pattern, ladies and gentlemen, of our praise is not in order like it should be or from the heart, I should say. Are you hearing me? If it is not from the heart, and how many of you know God knows that stuff? Y'all didn't hear what I said. I said, God knows that stuff. Did you hear me? God knows that stuff. He knows when you're doing it from the heart and you're just doing it from your mouth. In fact, he says it like this, there's a whole group of people that draw near to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. So you can give God some lip service, but he won't sit down. And you know what God does every Sunday morning? Hmm. What's that game? Huh? Musical chairs. This is what God does every Sunday morning. Every Sunday morning, He's passing by churches that are all over the place. People gathering there and they call themselves worshiping God. But many of them are going through such a religious routine that they got their pattern down. They sing two or three songs or whatever, and then we go on and do what we need to do. And there's no place where the Spirit is because God has chosen not to sit down in it. Now what you feel may be feeling good to you. Oh, they say, oh, I love this song. Oh, I love this. Oh, I love what the sermon was. Oh, isn't it wonderful? Clap, clap, clap. But you know something? Until God sits down, it's just a bunch of form and an idol. Y'all ain't talking to me now. I said it's a form and an idol. It is a form without the power. And one of the signs of the last days is there'd be a whole lot of churches with form, but they wouldn't have the power. From such, the Bible says, turn away. So what is our desire? It's not here to come and sell cars or shake hands or get to know somebody in the room. When I hit the parking lot out there, a Saturday I haven't been burning myself out, so I'm so tired to give something to God that I come in here with a sacrifice. The Bible says over in the Book of Malachi, He said, here you are offering up a sacrifice to me. And I'm telling you, it is unworthy. It's unclean. Let me put it to you like this. There's your little lamb. His one eye is out. His tail's been bobbed. He got one leg that's all broken. And you want to offer that up to God as a sacrifice. And God said, I'm not into your oblation. I don't care about what song you sing. I don't care about what church you go to. What I'm looking for is somebody from their heart that will begin to exercise faith and praise me, not because you've been taught a song, but because the spirit of God that you're calling out to from your spirit suddenly is connecting. And you know what God does? He said, not that church, not that church. This is the one. And I'll sit right down in the middle of that church and inhabit the praises of my people. You don't have to beg God to sit down. If the patterns right, the glory will fall. If the patterns right, the glory will fall. I'm not talking about your order of service. I'm talking about when you know when you connect. If you're connected at all. If you've ever been connected one time, you know what that is. Now there are many people coming through the door and they don't know what that connection is. And they don't know how to get there. And if there's a bunch of people that's been sitting in church that's gotten themselves so religious that their heart is just going through the motions, then the people that are coming through the door that don't know anything about this will come in and leave. Because I can tell you, we don't have... Have you seen the front out there? This is a 1981 building. It's not the most modern. Come on, y'all. I mean, if you want to just clock out what would be going for us and going against us in the eyes of a world that's looking for something but they don't even know what they're looking for. God said, I'm not worried about the building. Ye are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Because way out there in California, of all places, on Azusa Street was a barn. And William Seymour, an African-American preacher, stuck his head in the pulpit made of an apple crate with cobwebs and spiders all over that barn and a smell like horse manure. Talk to me. And they started praying and calling on the Lord. And spontaneous worship started taking place. Didn't have an organ, a B3. Didn't have a PA system. Didn't have none of that. But the one thing they did have was fire from heaven and a shekinah glory. And people started getting healed. People started getting saved. People started getting delivered. Without a preacher even preaching a message. The shekinah glory, you know why? Because God sat down. He sat down at Azusa Street so much just like He did the tabernacle that they called the Los Angeles Fire Department to the place one time because the people outside saw flames licking up off of the top of that building. They said to buildings on fire, somebody called the fire department. You know what it was when they got there? He said it wasn't a natural fire. You think I'm making this up. Go read the LA Times. They wrote about it. They said it wasn't a natural fire. This is supernatural fire that's going on. And thousands and thousands of people got healed, saved, and delivered. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot let the shekinah glory go out for sitting on ourselves and our blessed assurance and miss the glory of God. Otherwise, we'll be dead as three o'clock in the afternoon. Oh, God, show us your glory until everybody's slain and everybody worships without a song. Have you been delivered from anything? Have you been saved from anything? Have you been bought by the blood of Jesus Christ? Has the Lord ever healed your body? Has He ever picked you up? Has He ever paid your bill? Did He ever save your life? Then you owe Him the continual constant praise of a heart that is grateful. Worshiping right now, I can beg you. I can pump you and I can prime you. But until it comes out of your own heart from your own lips, it is not a sacrifice of praise. It's gonna cost you something. Y'all better come clear this before I preach another whole message on it. Somebody ought to lift your hand and give Him glory right now. I can teach you the seven levels of praise. I can give you these seven points here tonight on what praise is and the power of it. I can go through all of the calisthenics and be teaching you praise from now until Jesus comes. But until your heart gets connected and shake loose of every idol that you've been worshiping more than God, anything between you and God becomes an idol and all of it has to be tore down. We have now become worship idolatry to the point now that if our favorite group goes down, I'm gonna tell you the humble opinion right here. Because in the past few years we've had all kind of elevated worship teams and churches that have put out albums and stuff. And I'm grateful for it. I'm glad for them to write songs and give us a way to express what God wants us to do. But I'm gonna just tell you something. One by one they've been falling down to the ground. And you know why? Because God said I'll not give my glory to them for you to sing songs, hymns, and spiritual songs from your heart. I don't know how to write a song, pastor, but it might go something like this. Lord, you saved me Lord, you made me Lord, you provided for me Lord, you kept me Lord, you saved my children Lord, you put my life back in order Lord, you paid my bills Lord, you've taken care of me and I just come to say thank you. Some of y'all don't know even what I'm talking about. I want to tell you something my dear friends. It will go no good for me to teach a lesson tonight until you put it into action until you get up off of where you are and lift up your holy hand in the sanctuary and bless his name about it crossing their legs and popping their gum around you. If I'm gonna pastor this church I'm gonna have a church that will worship in spirit and in truth and if you don't have any of that in you get to the altar and repent and get right because God has been better to you than what you think. Well pastor over at my church we don't do that whatever I don't think I ever read in the book where God said all you Baptist can just sit down and you Methodist can keep your methods because if you go up that title is gonna fall off and if you go down to hell it's gonna burn off so you better get yourself connected to the holy of holies and the one true girl make a joyful noise all your land serve the Lord with gladness come before his presence with singing pastor why don't we sing before you preach so it primes the pump and breaks up the fallow ground you know what fallow ground is it's exactly what we're experiencing out here right now be seated a minute I'll get there I just came to talk to you a few minutes I'm over there I'm over there at the modular building they're putting in they're right now digging a retention pond it's twice the size of the one that was there in 17 years I've never seen the water collect in that retention pond to hold any water but the county said we've got to dig it deeper and wider so I took a lesson from the children's department deep and wide there's a I went over there the other day day before yesterday brother legiro to check on two tractors over there they're digging hard they found some wire and stuff like that and I had to go over there and find out what it was and help them figure that out and I'm telling you brother Neff that thing I could just about stand up in it and not see over the top of it that's how much it's got to be and I looked down in that six foot deep and I said I said to all the guys over there I said look at this we haven't had any rain have y'all noticed when was the last time you even remember any rain a shower I can't even remember when it rained last so on the top it's dusty and dry and six foot underneath it it's just as dusty and dry and I said to those guys over there they didn't know what I was thinking but I was picking it up and putting it down right there I was getting me a sermon and standing in the middle of that six foot hole I said look how dry it is we haven't had any rain in a long but look at us look at us Isaac go redig the wells of your daddy and keep digging but God is dry down here I know keep digging what do I got to do keep on digging because God said again and I'm going to fill these wells what else have I got to do you know what they're doing right now there was a fiber optic cable running through that thing about three foot deep and they hit it with the tractor you know what now we got to clear that stuff out of there you know what's been happening while you just been existing and I've been existing going through life and the well just gets on us and all the while there's an enemy that's been tossing the junk down the well come on somebody I said they've been tossing it down the well so you got to clean out the wells because there's some fresh water down there after a while and he told one of the prophets he said make this valley full of ditches don't make sense don't make sense for me to stand here and wave my hands y'all look real foolish yeah but you just keep standing in your drought the reason why I put my hands up I got my antennas up I'm feeling for the next rain shower in fact the business I hear the abundance of rain that's about to fall and you have prophets prophesied to you all you want to but if you will make the pattern right you don't need a prophet or an apostle or a preacher I have it on a thirsty soul let me get back to my dignity here make a joyful noise unto the Lord all your lands make a joyful noise means to sound an alarm you know what that sound of the alarm is literally in the Hebrew there it's pretty obvious you won't have too much to write tonight you know what that sound of the alarm is watch this Lord brother Collier's not even here tonight is he is anybody who understood what I'm about to say it would be him because whenever the Marines give out their shout here's the shout where's my Marines in here what about some hurrah ruah that's exactly what he's talking about right here you thought the Marines just made that up and the next time you hear the Marines shout that out remember make a joyful noise unto the Lord all your land that's exactly what God is saying he's saying you're putting it out there just making a noise does not equate to praise let me teach y'all y'all need some teaching apparently here's what the book of Ephesians or Hebrews said in Hebrews 13 15 by him let's just start right there by him why is that so important you're gonna do it his way or you're not gonna get to his kingdom by him let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually now he gives you the description of what a sacrifice of praise for us means because in the Old Testament prior to the crucifixion a sacrifice of praise any Jewish person knew exactly what that meant when God said take thy son, thine only son Isaac can go to that mountain and offer him up as a burn offering sacrifice he knew exactly what that meant there was gonna be a sacrifice made that child was gonna be gutted examined thoroughly and then burned man that sounds pretty cruel of God God didn't want him burned didn't want him gutted didn't want him sacrificed didn't want to find out Abraham are you gonna give me everything pastor that sounds a little cruel no it's not cruel because it's the same thing he's telling every one of us to do here tonight lay your Isaac on the altar and if there's anything that's keeping you from raising a knife on anything you have, anything you've got to sacrifice it unto me then you are not gonna see the glory of God and Abraham lifted the knife up and suddenly God stopped him by the angel the Lord had to call his name twice because he was so serious about the sacrifice he was about to make and in the Old Testament you did not appear on a Wednesday night service without a lamb a bullock, a turtle dove a handful of meal you brought something in your hands before God as a sacrifice unto the Lord did you hear what I said you didn't come in empty handed you came before God offering up your best and your sacrifice are you with me are y'all with me out here tonight I'm trying to carry you somewhere right here because some of the trouble that you're in right all of the anxiety that you're having in your spirit is directly connected to how your praise and worship goes pastor why in the world am I dealing, why am I so anxious my spirit anxious about this and all that he said be anxious for nothing why but with prayer and thanksgiving giving praise unto God he said I've got a cure for your anxiety I've got a cure for your depression I've got a cure for the things that are troubling your mind it means turn on your praise and worship and offer up to him a sacrifice of praise now if we were in the Old Testament everybody in here tonight would have to drag themselves a bullock a lamb a turtle dove a ram a goat something in here to offer up as a sacrifice unto God but when Jesus died on the cross I'm just talking to you tonight we'll write some things down when I get there when Jesus died on the cross he was the lamb slain from the foundations of the world stretched out wide and hung up high split light open by the by the whip that he examined him and said I don't find any fault inside of him there was no sin or anything that was in his life and yet he offered himself up as a living sacrifice unto God almighty as the only eternal sacrifice that could be made but here's what the Bible said by one man sin Adam can't sin came into the world but by one man sacrifice Jesus all sin was eradicated now I don't have to go and bring my bullock in here on Sunday morning and drag my goat in here my lamb that I've been raising my pet I don't have to do that anymore because now he says by him let us offer up the sacrifice of praise to God continually that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks unto his name if you have not opened your mouth already even today then there is no trouble that is going to get off of you the anxiety will stay the pressure will stay all kinds of depression will get on you ladies and gentlemen I've had a little touch of that activity of the spirit coming against me today but why is that because he knew I was coming here tonight to be able to give you this word because if you ever get a praise out of your mouth you ladies and gentlemen will not be like the rest of this world up underneath the depression and sacrifice you come out with a praise on your lips and a thanksgiving in your heart and you wonder why everybody else ain't praising him get your hands in the air open up your mouth you better praise him why you got the chance I said you better praise him why you got the chance I wasn't going to tell you this but I got to communicate in see some of you think right now it's just emotionalism that's the reason why a pastor just emotional they that worship worship in spirit and in truth God has left nothing to the imagination on how to approach him he doesn't say do it any old way you want to he said if you're going to get into my gates you're going to have to come in with a praise and a thanksgiving it don't take all of that you're exactly right if all your bills are paid and all your family saved and you got no trouble whatsoever you got plenty of money up in the bank and everything's copacetic with you and there's no trouble in your life then maybe it don't take all of that but for some of us in here that are fighting the good fight of faith and the enemy's been tracking us down to try to stop us and our children and our family members are not yet saved and we're trying to figure out how we're going to pay the bill and we're trying to figure out what we're going to do I can tell you not only does it take this but it takes a whole lot more of you in here that have got a Michel spirit on you tonight and you're looking at David stripping his jacket off and you're saying how great and glorious is the king of Israel today I just want to say to you ladies and gentlemen if you think this is something you ain't seen nothing yet I say Lord pour out your spirit before a church dries up on the vine I'm done preaching time for action get on your feet here tonight I don't have no music to play for you I don't have no song to sing I don't have nothing to do I just want to find out where your heart is if you want to worship him make your way away from where you are and come before his presence with singing enter into his gates with thanksgiving you're about to find that the burden that you're carrying and the trouble of your mind is about to be freed up because you've entered into his gates I didn't say it's gonna be over what I did tell you is there is a lifting of the burden whenever you'll worship him in spirit and in truth come on church I don't have no music for you if you want to get to God make your way don't let the crowd stop you had a little woman touch the hem of his garment because she was desperate for a healing now you when you get down here don't you wait around for somebody else because I'm not leading you in a song I'm not leading you in another praise song you don't need another Maverick city song you don't need a B3 in a piano what you need is a one on one with the shekinah of heaven come on somebody reach up further reach out further let's time the move to a different level here tonight don't just sit there quiet open your mouth all the devil wants is your silence as long as he can keep your mouth shut he's got you right where he wants you Adam kept his mouth shut and sin came into camp open your mouth and drive that devil back with your praise if you don't know what to praise him for start rehearsing what God's done for you today you raise me up out of the bed when I was asleep you blew into my lungs and all of a sudden I was aware that I was even existing you put me in the car and let me drive down the road no car hit me come on church come on church somewhere in your praise God's gonna take you past the veil of the flesh crucify that flesh tonight and call on the Lord God I want to thank you for the protecting angels of heaven when I didn't know where I was when I didn't know how when I didn't know how things are gonna work out you dropped heaven's angels around me around my family come on somebody you better thank him for the spirit that still deals with you tonight while the spirit of God is moving out of the house of time that's what he told him I

He's coming alongside you to give you strength and power. You've been made an overcomer. You didn't make yourself. You've been made an overcomer through the Christ who lives on the inside of you. You got something to praise him for. Oh, glory to God, I will not be defeated. I refuse the Spirit of depression. I will put on the garment of praise. Come on, church. Come on, church, if we want revival in this house, we're gonna have to pay the price, pay the price and praise the price. He's moving. He's moving. He's moving right now.

Come up near to the Lord. Come up near to the Lord. Come up near to the Lord. Come up near to the Lord. I hear the Spirit saying, come near to me, draw nigh unto me and I will draw nigh unto you. Some of you haven't been feeling the Spirit of God inside of your house. I came to tell you, this service is about to change things in your house. When you go home tonight, the Spirit of the Lord is going to invade that place like the Tabernacle. You won't feel peace in there again. Not struggling, not strife. Don't care what the enemy has done, God's gonna invade that house with peace that passes all understanding. Shorabakasundrabhushaya. Come on Jesus and do what you want to do in my life. I'm open. I'm open. I'm wide open, Jesus. I come to praise you. I come to thank you. I come to worship you. I come just like I am. I'm bringing you all that I am, all that I have. Come on church, empty yourself tonight of all that you are. Let God take control of your life. Everything. You got struggling going on with your children? Put them on the altar and give them to God. The Lord's got them. Quit trying to manipulate it. Put them on the altar and give them up as a sacrifice. The devil is a liar. I gave them to God a long time ago and I want to praise you, God, that they not only will be saved, but they're being saved right now. You're delivering. You're setting free by the power of God. I want to praise you. Whoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want you to get in your mind what you have not got yet. You've asked the Lord for something, but it hasn't arrived yet. Have you got it in your mind, in your spirit? I'm about to ask you to do something by faith right here. Have you got it in your mind? It might be a lost loved one. It might be a financial miracle. I don't know what it is, but here's what we're going to do. Long before you ever see it in your hand and touch it with your fingers. I want you to lift your hands right now. If you got something in your heart and mind that you are asking God for, and I want you to begin to praise him for whatever that it is coming your way in the name of Jesus. Come on, thank him right now. Come on and praise him. Lord, the bill is already paid. The child is already saved. I just want to thank him. Can you see him walking down the aisle? Can you see him with hot tears rolling down the bull shy? Oh, rolling down their cheeks tonight. Come on, Jesus. Do what you need to do in our lives tonight. I want to bring you by faith praise. I want to praise you in advance. You do what you do. Not my will, but thy will be done to you. If I wish, I wish I could praise for you, but I can't do it. I can preach to you, but I can't praise for you. You better do this one by yourself and for yourself. God's lifting that anxious spirit off of you right now. I said he's lifting that depression, anxious spirit off of you right now. That old spirit that's kept you down for weeks and months, the devil is a liar. I thank you for the blood that's all over it right now. The blood of Jesus is all over it right now. Come on, come on, come on, church. I want to tell you this praise is not for you. What God is doing in this house is not even for you and me. This is for the ones that are about to walk through the doors of this assembly who've never been in church. They've never seen the Lord. They're backslidden, they're drifted away. God's going to let them meet an encounter with the Shekinah glory of God long before we sing a song or anything else. They're going to say surely the presence of the Lord is in this place. I praise you, Lord, that you're the healer tonight. I praise you, Lord, that you're the baptizer tonight. I praise you that you're the Savior tonight. Come on, somebody. Can you thank God? Your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Can you tell Him, Lord, thank you? Thank you that manamahoshayrimahsonruvohoshaya. Can you thank God that, oh, no, not that the demons are subject to you, but that your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life and the devil can't blot it out and God's not going to cross it out. Oh, I'm in the camp to stay. Glory. I thank you, Jesus. I thank you. If I don't ever get another blessing in my life, I just thank you that I'm saved and I'm on my way to heaven. Hallelujah. I give you glory for it. I give you glory. I give you glory. I give you glory. And the yasso ribikete ramahoshaya. I give you glory, God. I give you glory. I give you glory. I praise you with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Hallelujah. Everybody in this building, everybody in this building that wants to be used of God now, lift both of your hands towards heaven right now. If you want to be used of God, lift both of your hands towards heaven right now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now, God's about to use you and I want you to know something. It's not going to be tomorrow. It's not going to be three weeks from now. You're going to do it right now. I want you to turn around to somebody and lay hands on them right now in the name of Jesus Christ and I want you to pray the prayer of faith and the Lord will save the sick and raise them up and if there be any sin it shall be forgiven them. Everybody praying for somebody and don't pray quiet. I said, don't pray quiet. This is a Holy Ghost church. The Holy Ghost is in charge of this service right now. I want you to pray out loud. They need to hear somebody who has faith. I feel like I've been walking through this thing by myself. I need to hear the voice of somebody who believes that God is able. Hallelujah. Oh, Lord, just sweep this place. Sweep it wherever they are right now. Sweep the place where they are right now. Spirit of God, just lay your hand on everything that's breathing. Everything that has breath tonight, revive the downtrodden soul, resurrect those that are dead in their spirit. We cast down every idol and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and we ask you, Lord, to invade our presence again. Don't let us stand here, Lord, with pride in our heart and an ego that can't be changed. We cast down everything. We do like David and humble ourselves before you. Lord, all I want you to do is put power in my hands. When I lay hands on the sick, I want to see them recover. When I lay hands on that cancerous gore, I wanted to fall off in my hand. You said believers shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. I pray God again this room and all of those that are watching that wherever the disease from the core, in the name of Jesus Christ, let the praise and action right now use you. If you need to move to somebody else and prophesy, let God use you in the prophetic here tonight. Let the Lord use you in the prophetic. If you got a word for somebody, give it to him. If it confirms in our spirit, then God gets the glory and that's exactly what he was. Let God use your life. It's not all on the preacher. It's on the believer. Hallelujah shall prophesy. In the last days, I'll pour out my spirit of flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. And upon my handmaidens and my servants, will I pour out of my spirit, says the Lord of hosts. It is the last day, it is the last time, and the spirit of prophecy is loose in your mouth tonight. Open your mouth and prophesy in your praise. Prophecy in your prayers. Speak those things that are not as though they already are. God have been dry so long, I don't even know what rain looks like. Send the rain on my soul. Come on church. It's all right for you to confess that you're dry and very dry. Come on Ezekiel and prophesy to the bones. Live bones, live and the sin you came upon the bones. And they stood up and exceeding in mighty army. But all prophesy to the wind from the north, the south, the east and the west, come Holy Spirit and breathe upon these that are slain. And the breath of the Almighty fill the valley of dry bone. And they received the breath and life in their body and they stood up and exceeding mighty and great army. Open your mouth tonight and receive the breath of the Almighty tonight. Woo, do you recognize the spirit of the Lord moving in his house? He's moving wherever you are by yourself in a hotel room inside of a church service with other people. You better move while you can. You better praise him while you got breath. You better anoint your own self. Nobody around to anoint me, I'll anoint my own self. Come to hear another sermon. I came. I came to see the spirit move. Move, oh Holy Ghost. Move. Don't you be ashamed of the Holy Ghost. I said, don't you be ashamed of the Holy Ghost. Don't you tamp him down on your job wherever you go at the mall of the grocery store. You better be sensitive to that Holy Ghost. He's all over me and he's keeping me alive is what he's doing. I could have been dead, but he's keeping me alive. He's keeping me alive. He's keeping me alive. Come on, church, come on, church, be sensitive. There are people around you that might need prayer. Be sensitive to the Holy Ghost. Don't let there be a distraction in the house. Keep your mind stayed on the Lord. I don't sense that God is through yet. Come on now. Did you hear what I said? I said, don't you let there be a distraction. Open up your mouth tonight and let God use you right now. This is a Holy Ghost take over tonight. Spirit of God, please, please don't be a distraction to anybody. Please be sensitive. God's moving around this altar tonight. If you prophesy into somebody, you can talk to them, but other than that, don't. God's moving in this house tonight. I'll say God's moving in this house tonight. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Sit down in this house, sit down in this house, sit down in my house, sit down in my life. Sit down in my marriage. Sit down in my mind, my mind, my mind, my mind, my sanctified mind, my mind, oh God, take over my mind. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Kerabakasatarabakasayarabhokoshai. Poribyataramundurabhokoshaiya. Kerabandalabhokoshatalabahai. Hallelujah. God's restoring. He's restoring. He's touching your lives right now. Y'all come right here. I want to pray for you right there in the red shirt right there. Come on up here. Come on up here. I want to pray for you. The Spirit of God is moving on you right now. Come on, come on church. Come on church, come on church. Come on church, come on church, come on church, come on church. See, God's working in your home right now. He's working in your mind, in your spirit. I don't know what God's doing, but I'll tell you what, if you'll let Him be done, thy will be done in our hearts and lives right now. And so God, I'm asking you to restore every bloke in place right now and bind up every wounded spirit. Pour in the oil and the wine right now and let the fresh anointing of heaven fall upon this house right now. Not just on this house, but God upon those that are around Him right now. We cast off every person, Lord, that is not directing and helping me get closer to God. And I ask you to let a personal revival happen in this house by the anointing of God. Open your mouth and begin to praise Him. It's not about where you've been, it's about where you're going. That's the reason why the devil's been fighting on you like he has. He's fighting you over where you're going, not where you've been. I don't care what you're doing and where you've been, that's where you were, it's not where you're going. I prophesy to you right now, God's making a highway in the wilderness, Hallelujah. He's cutting down every obstacle, He's making a way. God's showing Himself to you right now like you have never seen and I prophesy to you now, taking the next step by faith, whatever God said, go ahead and do it in the name of Jesus. Come on, search, lift your hands and begin to bless the Lord with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. I am a close son, I am a close son, I am beyond all of a higher. Hallelujah, I don't care if you're struggling, God don't even care if you're struggling. He is concerned about where you go to get help. That's what he's wondering. Are you searching it out all over the place? You find it on Facebook, talk to all your friends and you still ain't got no help. I came to tell you, help is in the house. Help is in the house tonight, help is on the way. God said I'll be your helper in your very presence. Help in time of trouble, Hallelujah. Are you in trouble? Help is in the house tonight. Spirit of God, Spirit of God, Spirit of God, Spirit of God, Spirit of God, Spirit of God. Breathe on my soul. God's getting ready to do something at Pace Church. This is just a prep. This is just a preparation. I said it's just a preparation. If you really want to see the glory of God, hang out, hang around and help me praise Him. If you'll praise Him up, He'll come down. Come on somebody. I said if you'll praise Him up, He'll come down. He's just looking for a place to sit down in. Can He sit down at your house? He better be able to. Next time you set the table, you ought to put out another placemat, a forked knife and a spoon and a plate and say we are welcome at this house, God. Sit down right here. We make place for you here. Thank you, Jesus. You know what they call this? They call this a divine intervention. That's what they call this. A divine intervention. He's intervening in your behalf right now. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Oh, as sure as the children of Israel walked through that eastern gate, walked up and made a sacrifice at the brazen altar, washed their hands and face at the brazen labor, came before the Lord God with incense, prayer and praise. He said, because you've come like you have, I've taken you into the Holy of Holies tonight. You know how bad I need your Holy of Holies, Lord. Abide with me, Holy Spirit. He said I will, for ye are the temple of the Holy Ghost. You don't have to get on a plane, a bus or a train. You don't have to go hunting the anointing anywhere as somebody's revival. If you'll just make room for him, he'll come in and occupy the house. Just make room for him every day of your life. When you get up in the morning, the first thing you need to do is welcome Holy Spirit. Come on in, Jesus. Don't let me put my feet on the floor before you go ahead and touch me while I'm laying right here in the bed. Touch my mind, my soul and my spirit, because when my feet hit this floor, I'm on assignment for the King. I am an ambassador for the Kingdom of God. You better watch what comes out of my mouth tomorrow, because I'm going to be a danger to hell, because what comes out of my mouth is going to pierce the darkness. Did you hear what I said? Don't let any idle stuff come out. Open your mouth on purpose and let your yes be yes and your no be no. I want you to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is in the ebb and flow. If you're not sensitive to the Holy Spirit, you'll miss it. Did you hear me? You stand out there on that beach of the Gulf of Mexico and you look at it and that water is not stagnant like the Dead Sea, not moving. That water is moving. You know why the water is moving? Because the sun heats up the sky and it begins the circulation of the air that pushes the tide. In other words, the water is moving because the air is moving. He comes in and he goes out. He comes in and he goes out. I'm not saying you don't have the Holy Spirit on the inside. I'm saying when the wind begins to blow, be sensitive where the wind is blowing because I promise you the wind is not blowing everywhere. I've walked that beach hundreds of times and there'd be some places where the water and the waves are rushing in and you could walk 10 feet, 50 feet and there's no movement, it's still. I wanna be where the move. He's coming in to refresh me. Come on somebody. What does that mean? You may wake up tomorrow and not feel a thing from tonight. And I would dare say there's an 80% chance of that but there's 100% chance that the same spirit that you have in this building tonight is gonna be waiting on you to wake up in the morning and the moment you open your mouth and begin to give God praise, he gonna sit down on you all day long. Somebody needs to shout, sit on me Jesus. Come on somebody, just sit on me Jesus all day long. Just sit right down on top of me. I don't have time to play around with somebody. Read somebody else's devotion. Sing somebody else's song. I'll write my own devotion. God, you've been good to me and here's some scripture to go with it. Come on somebody. What I was gonna tell you tonight that I've run out of time and can't and I'll tell you Lord willing next week, the reason why many churches and people can't worship is because they're singing somebody else's experience. So the songs are dead to you. That's the reason why God lets you go through different experiences so you can sing a new song. I didn't say it had to be a new written song. I'm talking about a fresh new anointing upon it. Because once you've had an experience, you can sing your own song. You don't have to have somebody else write a song for me because it's dead to me unless I've walked through it myself. But watch what I'm about to tell you. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. Does that do anything for you? That say, come on somebody, all right, sing. Come on, it's your song if it's your song. Was lost, but I'm found, was blind, but now, you know why that means something in your heart to sing right now? Isn't that funny, watch this. I didn't even have to put those words on the wall so you could read them, it's in your heart. Amazing grace is in your spirit. So I don't even need anybody to play. I don't need nobody to put it on the wall. I'm not even sure I was singing in the right key. God said, I don't care, make a joyful noise unto me. And if it's from your heart, I will receive it unto myself. So go ahead and sing in your car on the way to work tomorrow morning. Pull right up beside somebody and bless them with your song. Turn the tunes up, sing like Sandy Patty. Come on somebody, you don't even know who Sandy Patty is. Sing, sing with all of your heart, throw your head back, wave your arms at the stop sign. And people are gonna look at you like you're crazy and say, bless you because this phrase is not just for you, it's for him. But everything God, y'all better get me and pull me out of this room. I just keep teaching and preaching. Everything God does is reciprocal. Did you hear what I said? As the rain comes down and waters the grass and returns thither, so my word will go forth and it will not return unto me void. In other words, God is on a cycle. He's pouring out the rain, the earth soaks up the rain and then he turns the sun on and sucks all that same water back up into clouds and turns it back around and rains on you again. Now I'm just gonna tell you as sure, as sure as we need a physical rain, isn't that funny? Ooh, I'm preaching right now. I drove down the road today and passed by the fire department and on their sign it said this, burn ban. In other words, no fires right now because it is so dry that it will burn stuff down if you let it go. What we need is some physical rain and I promise you everything physical is first spiritual. Did you hear what I said? So long before he got dry out here and those guys dug into ground and it's as dry as a powerhouse six foot down. Unbelievable and we're digging up a retention pond to hold water. I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty funny. What water? Oh Lord, send the rain and send it on pace physically and spiritually. Did you say amen? Can you agree with me about that? Will you pray about that right there? I want you to turn around to somebody and tell them Lord, send the rain. Let's pray together Lord, send the rain. Shake hands and be friends with one another. Don't miss this weekend. I'm gonna preach to you on the rapture, divine intervention. Don't miss it. Thank you, sir.
