The Dividends of Trust - Bishop T.D. Jakes · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Go to Psalm 34, 1-10, when you have it, shout Amen.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Very familiar passage of Scripture. I will challenge your understanding
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of the text, but we're going to go deeper into
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: this text today. I've been talking to the Lord about
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this text, and more importantly, God has been talking to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: me about this text. I will bless the Lord at
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: My soul shall make her boast in the Lord. The
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: humble shall hear thereof and be glad. Oh, magnify the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Lord with me and let us exalt his name together.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: me from all my fears. They looked unto him and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: were lightened and their faces were not ashamed. This poor
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: man cried and the Lord heard him and saved him
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: out of all of his troubles. The angel of the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Lord encampeth about them that fear him and delivereth them.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Listen to this close. Oh, taste and see that the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Lord is what? Blessed is the man that what? trusteth
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in him oh fear the Lord ye his saints for
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: there is no want to them that fear him the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: young lions do lack and suffer but they that seek
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the Lord shall not want any good thing that means
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: if you didn't get it it wasn't good that means
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: if you didn't get it it wasn't good I'm believing
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: God for some things right now. I told him I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: only want it if it's good. It looks good, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that's what got Eve in trouble. It's pleasant to my eyes,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: but that's what got her in trouble. It looks like
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it's good for food, but that's what got her in trouble.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I only want it if it's good. I want to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: go back to that eighth verse again. This is my
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: focal point. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Blessed is the man that praises. Excuse me. Blessed is
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the man that dances. Amen. Oh, let me see. Blessed
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is the man that trusteth in him. Can you say amen?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: My subject this morning is the dividends of trust. The
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: dividends of trust. Trust is extremely important. And yet we
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: say very little about it. We talk a lot about praise.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: We are commanded to praise. That's something that we can do.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Praise is about doing. Trust is about being. There is
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a dividend that God will give you on trust. On trust.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: On trust. How many people trust God? The dividends of trust.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: There's some dividends you're going to reap if you trust him.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Particularly if you're in a tough time, God says trust him.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: If you're in a painful time, trust him. If you're
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in a scary time, trust him. If you're in a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: time of uncertainty, trust him. Trust Him. You know why?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: He that hath began a good work in you shall
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ. God is
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: consistent so you can trust. If I sat in this
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: chair and it gave way, I wouldn't trust it. But
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: because every time I've ever sat on it, it held
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: me up. I didn't check the legs before I sat down.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I trust it. It's not a conscious effort. It's a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: result of consistency. Your God is consistent. Great is thy faithfulness,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Lord unto me. Oh, when I wake up in the morning,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: new mercies I see. All I have needed, thy hands
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: have provided. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me. Let's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: pray while we're standing. Would you pray with us too?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Let's all pray together. Spirit of the living God, fall
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: fresh on us this morning. Endow us with the grace
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of delivering to your people what you have deposited in me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Release the kind of unction that causes people to be rejuvenated,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not just emotionally but spiritually. Help us to understand beyond
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: our present comprehension what you are able to do. In
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the name of Jesus we pray, amen. You may be
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: seated in the presence of God. Yeah, get ready, get ready,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: get ready, get ready. I want you to keep that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: text out and look at that text. I'm going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: start with the text, Psalm 34, 1 through 10. I'm
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: going to read it again, and then I'm going to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: go down the road. It occurs to me that Psalms 34,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: 1 through 10 is powerful, but strange. It's a collective
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of ideas that don't necessarily coordinate with each other. It
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: almost seems contradictory. It is fragments of truth, elements of orthodoxy. Individually,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: all of them have truth in their own merit. But
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: when they are brought together and read together, They almost
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: seem contradictory and yet they have been woven together into
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: one passage. For example, I will bless the Lord at
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It makes good sense. My soul shall make her boast
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in the Lord. The humble shall hear thereof and be glad.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Makes good sense. O magnify the Lord with me and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: let us exalt his name together. Makes good sense. I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: from all of my fears. Wait. You were scared? I
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: thought you was praising him. Now the same guy who
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: says I will bless the Lord at all times says
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that he went through a period where he sought the Lord.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: He heard him. He delivered him. He was afraid. Next verse.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: They looked unto him and were lightened and their faces
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: were not ashamed. Next verse. Ooh. This poor man cried. Wait,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you was praising. I will bless the Lord at all times.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Does not
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: go with this poor man. Cried. And the Lord heard
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: him and saved him out of all of his troubles.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: This guy's in trouble. But he was praising God before
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and the praise was always in his mouth. The angel
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and delivereth him. This man had to be delivered. But
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a moment ago, he was talking about his praise shall
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: continually be in my mouth. He sounded so happy a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: moment ago. He didn't sound like he was a poor
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: man crying. He didn't sound like he was full of fear.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He didn't sound like he had trouble. Oh, taste and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that trusteth in him. Fear the Lord, ye his saints,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: for there is no want to them that fear him.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I get that. The young lions do like and suffer hunger,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: good thing. That's interesting and yet it seems contradictory. They
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: are fragmented truths. A piece of polyester and a piece
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of wool and a piece of silk. And a piece
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of cotton. And all of them are laying out there
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in the same text. Several years ago, I had the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: privilege of hosting one of Africa's first elected female presidents,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: if not the first. Her Excellency, President Eleanor. Johnson Sirleaf.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And it was amazing. We attempted to entertain her in
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: our home in the manner that reflected her prominence and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: honored her position. But the truth of the matter is,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: we had never had a president in our house before.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: So we were really, my wife said, just you, you crazy.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So we were really spit shining everything and trying to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: get everything nice to entertain this historical figure that will
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: go down in history as the first elected president. female
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: president in Africa. There were some that became president by
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: default and inherited the position because the previous president died
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: for short interims of time. But Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the first elected president of a country in Africa. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it hit the news worldwide. And she was in my house.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: While we were having dinner, she presented me with a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: very meaningful gift. She gave us a quilt. And when
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: she gave us the quilt, she explained something to me.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: She explained that in Liberia, the quilt is a symbol
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of liberty. Not just the flag, but the quilt itself
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: reminds every Liberian of their liberty. You see, Liberia is
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: lauded by the distinction of being Africa's first republic. It
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: was its first republic. It was a country founded by
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: freed slaves who were assisted in returning back to the motherland.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And they went back to the motherland and received their freedom.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You don't hear a lot about that. But there were
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: not all the slaves that left Africa, went to Brazil
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: or went to the Caribbean or went to America. There
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: were a group of slaves. that were blessed to return back.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Through the aid of an organization out of the UK,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they were able to come back. Hence, Liberia, liberty, is
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: called Liberia because they were liberated slaves. Okay? And their
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: gift is symbolized by a quilt, and I'm going to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: tell you why. You have to understand that The verses
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in the text remind me of Liberia in part because
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: one moment he's talking about his praise shall continually be
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in my mouth. The next moment he's talking about his fears.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You look around again, the same man that wrote the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: first part about his praise shall continually be in my
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: mouth turns around and says, this poor man cried. In isolation,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the statements don't even go together. Sounds like a quilt.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Most of us live our lives in fragmentation We have
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: fragments of joy. We have fragments of peace. We have
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: fragments of holiness and we have fragments of carnality. Nobody
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: wants to wave their hand, but it's true. We have
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: fragments of great courage. And even the most courageous person
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: wrestles with fragments of fear. We have fragments of happiness
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: followed by fragments of great grief. Depending on which piece
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you pick up in our lives, you will say, oh,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: he's so joyous, but you just picked up a fragment.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: If you catch me at another moment, you'll say, oh,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: he's depressed. Isn't it amazing how you can go from
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: one extreme to the other without warning in the same person?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Forget the same passage or the same verse in the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: same person. That's why it takes years to know a person.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You dated him in the sunshine, but you married him
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: in the rain. You ought to date long enough to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: see how people are when they're happy and see how
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: they are when they're sad and see how they are
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: when they're depressed and see how they are when they're angry.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want to date anybody I haven't seen mad. Amen.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Because some of the nicest people can turn into a
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: gorilla when they get angry and shock you. And you
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: would never believe that they would turn, that you married
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a tarantula. Like people's personality, life is fragmented. It's a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: little bit of this and a little bit of that
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and a little bit of the other and a little
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: bit of the other that doesn't even go together. And
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: some of us get stressed out because the pieces don't match.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: They don't go together. You can't even explain yourself because
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: when people ask you how you are, you would sound
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: schizophrenic if you answered. Somebody called me the other day
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and said, how do you feel about it? I said,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I'm happy and nervous and glad and sad and scared
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and excited and adventurous and intimidated and vulnerable and victorious
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and all of it at the same time. All of
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: that stuff. conglomerated into one place. William Shakespeare said it
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: this way, life is a tale told by an idiot
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: full of sound and theory signifying absolutely nothing. He just
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: gave up on it. He says it's crazy. Somebody say
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. He said it's just crazy. It doesn't make
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: any sense. It feels like it was told by an idiot.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: That is the feeling of this text. The feeling of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: this text is so discombobulated, discoordinated, not synergized. If you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: submitted this text to an English class, they would mark
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: it all up because the thoughts are frayed. There are
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: so many people sitting in this room right now whose
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: thoughts are frayed. A little bit of polyester, a little
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: bit of wool, a little bit of silk, and a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: little bit of cotton. And you're complicated. You're complicated. Because
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: when you present yourself, the pieces don't go together. How
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: many people are honest enough to admit to yourself that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the pieces of you don't go together? I put on
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: my coat this morning and the white stuck out real
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: good on this side, but it doesn't show on this
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: side at all. It's nothing wrong with the clothes. It's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: something wrong with my arms. One arm is longer than
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the other. I put on my shoes, I put on
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: my left shoe first because my left shoe is just
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a wee bit bigger than my right foot. And so
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: if it's good on the left, it's going to be
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: good on the right because they don't match. They don't
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: go together. And just like my body looks like it
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't match, sometimes my personality doesn't match. How can David
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: love God so much that he's dancing on the mountaintops,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: writing poetry to God and singing songs and then turn
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: around this poetic person who is such a left brain
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: creative individual can turn around and get so mad that
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: he cut off a hundred foreskins and threw them down
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: at Saul's feet. Extremes, extremes. Was he bipolar? I don't know.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not a psychiatrist. I can't diagnose his behavior. But
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: it doesn't match up how David could be so committed
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: in one area and then be on the rooftop looking
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: over at Bathsheba talking about, Lord have mercy. Mm, mm, mm, mm.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: How he could care for lambs and fight lions for
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: lambs and do all of these wonderful things and be
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: so kind and so caring at one moment and then
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: be so vicious and cunning at another is beyond me.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: But such is life. Such is life. And Shakespeare just concluded,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. I give up on it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I can't explain it. Life is a tale told by
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: an idiot. If I presented this text to an English scholar,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: they would give me an E. Because there's no synchronization
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: of thought. How can his praise continually be in your mouth?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: And yet you admit this poor man cried. How can
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I praise and cry? Praising and crying doesn't even go together.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense and yet it's in the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: same text. And worse still, it's in the same man.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: But Shakespeare was wrong when he says that life is
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a tale told by an idiot. He was completely wrong.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: In spite of the fragmentation of human experience, life is
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: not a blanket. It's a quilt. It's a quilt. It's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: not a blanket. You can't get it to all match up.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And anytime you see something where it matches perfectly, it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: always synthetic. People that match perfectly... are always synthetic. Anytime
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: everything lines out just the way it's supposed to be
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and there is no mar and there is no fluctuation
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and there is no deviation, run. This psalm is not
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: born from a moment of great faith, nor is it
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a moment whereby David's destiny is unfolding. Quite the contrary, instead,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: hidden between the admonishment to bless the Lord and admonish
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: us to praise him is emotional chaos. When I talk
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to my spiritual father about how things are going and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: maybe several people have died in the church and somebody's
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: in the hospital and one of his kids is sick.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: He says, life is doing what life does. Jerking you
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: around from praise to prayer, from victory to discouragement. From
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: crying like a poor man to blessing the Lord. All
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of that is a part of life. And how you
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: manage the inconsistencies determines how well you are stable as
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a person. If you're waiting for life to light out
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: like a blanket, you'll never get anything done. You have
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to be able to thrive in chaos. You have to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: be able to deal with the confusion. You have to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: understand that you're always going to be a quilt. But
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that it can't be stitched together. It's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: impossible not to note the fact that David remains consistent
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: in his behavior of praise while his emotions are reacting
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to peril. So he's crying and praising. If his praise
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: is continually in his mouth, he's crying and praising. That
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: means if God delivered him, that means he's praising and bound.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: If he delivered him from all of his troubles, that
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: means that he praised him in trouble. David is talking
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to us about some things that we need to understand
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: about God in order to be able to go forward
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: in life. And they are very important things to be realized.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Certainly there's a deep admonition of praise, but that's becoming
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a discipline. And when you become a disciplined praiser, you
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: praise him no matter what, which is what they were
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: singing about today. Amen. But the clarion call is not
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: just to praise him, it's also to trust him. To
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: trust him. Praising him and trusting him is two different things.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I've seen people praise him all over the church and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: get in the car worried sick. I've seen people praise
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the Lord and honk their horn because the traffic is
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: moving too slow in the parking lot or yell at
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: our parking lot attendants or curse them out. I've seen
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: them talk in tongues at the altar and curse out
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the parking lot attendant. Some of them are here this morning.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: It is possible to have unrelenting praise and still have
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a battle to trust the God we praise. See, I'm
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: not just talking about praising him. I'm talking about trusting him.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about trusting him. Now, you don't know how
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: much you trust him when things are going well. Trust
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: is not proven in good times. Trust is proven in
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: bad times. Trust is not proven when you get a promotion.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Trust is proven when you get laid off. Trust is
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: not proven when you're engaged. Trust is proven when you're
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: about to divorce. Can I talk to some real people today?
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Trust is not proven when you get what you want.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Trust is proven when you lose what you have. Can
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you trust him in sorrow? Can you trust him in grief?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Can you trust him with a lump in your breast?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Can you trust him with a tumor? Can you trust
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: him with a hernia? Can you trust him as you
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: go up under anesthesia? Up under anesthesia, you can't go
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: up under anesthesia talking in tongues. If you're going up
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: under anesthesia, you have to go up under anesthesia. Your
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: mouth can't be moving. You got to be ready to
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: trust him in your grief. head I trust God don't
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: get me wrong now praise praise is wonderful and praise
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: is important and we just got through doing it and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I hope we do it again because praise summons God
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: into our circumstances The Bible says at midnight, Paul and
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Silas prayed and sang praises unto God. And God came
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: where the praises were. And anytime you praise God, it
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: summons God. Psalms 22 and 3 says that God inhabits
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the praises of his people. Inhabits, inhabits. God moves into praise.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: We are not, don't misunderstand us onlookers and spectators. We
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: are not praising God because we are... Emotional. This has
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with whether you're an extrovert or introvert.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Whether you're a quiet person or a loud person. The
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Bible said, let everything that has wrath praise ye the Lord.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Because when you praise him, you call him. Somebody praise
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: him for a minute right now. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: You're summonsing him. You're sending the Batman signal into the air.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: He's coming to rescue you. When you praise him, you
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: summons God. You provoke God to action. You provoke God
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to move. When you praise him, you summons God. And
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: you don't have to be in church. You can be
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: in your living room. You can be on your couch.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: You can have some run-down shoes on. stepping on the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: backs of the hills but if you praise him you
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: can be in prison but if you praise him he'll
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: come in a jail cell you can be in a
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: hospital and if you praise him he'll come in the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: hospital you can be in a wake but if you
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: praise him he'll come in the wake you can be
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: in a funeral and if you praise him he'll come
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: in a wake because praise summons God not only that
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Not only that, praise is a weapon. It's a strategic
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: attack on the enemy. When you praise God, praise is
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: a weapon. You can use it for warfare. Israel used
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: it when they said, send Judah first. Judah means praise.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: And when they started praising God, things begin to happen.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Praise is a weapon. When you're under attack, there's no
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: time to be quiet. There's no time to fold your arms.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: There's no time to cross your leg. When you're under attack...
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Praise is a weapon because the enemy wants to take
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the praise out of your mouth. And so you enter
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: into his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and be thankful unto him and bless his name because
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: praise is a weapon. Are there any warriors in here?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Are there any soldiers in here? Is there a military
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: brigade in here? I'm a soldier in the army of
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I got my warm clothes on in the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: army of the Lord. If I die, let me die
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: in the army of the Lord. I'm sanctified holy in
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the army of the Lord. I'm a soldier. I'm a
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: baptized soldier. Y'all don't know nothing about that. Number three,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: praise is a deterrent to isolation. It's how you remind
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: yourself that you're not alone. It's how you remind yourself
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: that you are not alone. For the angels of the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Lord encamp about those that fear him. That fear is reverence.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: When you reverence God, angels wrap around you. So even
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: if you've been telling people you live by yourself, if
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you praise God, you don't live by yourself. Because whenever
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: you praise God, he takes his luggage and moves in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the house with you. When your head hears your mouth
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: praising God, it knows somebody else is in the house.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I heard voices in there. Somebody's in there. Yeah,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you're right. When you start praising God, you're not riding
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: in the car by yourself. You're going to work with angels.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Anybody in here ever rode to work with angels? Praise
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: reminds the soul that you are not isolated. In a
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: world filled with isolation. We are so isolated. And yet
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: we got more ways to confront. each other than we
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: ever had before I'm on Instagram I'm on Facebook I'm
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: on LinkedIn I haven't gotten on TikTok yet because I'm
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: tired of people talking so I didn't tick so they
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: couldn't talk But there's so many ways to get in touch.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: You can text you. You can tweet you. You can
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: call you. You can yell at you. There's so many
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: ways to communicate. And we have this huge community of
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: what we call friends and followers. And yet beneath all
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: of this conglomerate of human species, we are more lonely
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and more isolated than we have ever been in all
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: of our lives. How can you have 5,000 followers and
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: still be lonely? How can you go into a crowded
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: North Park mall and still be lonely? We fight isolation
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: because there are all kinds of people that are connected
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to us, but they don't have intimacy. We have lost
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the art of intimacy into me seed. But when God
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: comes in, he's already seen everything. There is nothing hidden
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: from him with whom we have to do. The Bible
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: says all things are naked before him. All things are exposed.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you cut off all the lights,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: pull all the blinds, pull all the windows shut, jump
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: up under the blankets. He can see up under the covers.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: There is nothing hidden from him with whom we have
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: to do. What praise is not, it may be, it
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: may summons God in your circumstances. It may be a
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: weapon in the time of battle. It may be a
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: deterrent to isolation. But what praise is not is a panacea.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: It is not a panacea. A panacea is something that
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: says it is a universal cure. It's a cure-all. It's
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: a cure for all ills. The word panacea that we
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: use today actually comes from Greek mythology. Panacea was a
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Greek god who allegedly was supposed to be able to
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: heal anything. She is the daughter of Asapius, and in
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Greek mythology, a panacea had the ability to be able
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: to heal anything. Praise is not a panacea. Yet it's
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: all we sing about, it's all we talk about, it's
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: all we mention, it's all we allude to, but praise
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: is not a panacea. Praise does not necessarily create trust.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: You can praise God and still be worried. You can
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: praise God and still be scared. You can praise God
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and still be sick. You can praise God and still
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: be nervous. You can praise God and still have hand tremors.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: You can praise God and still have a pinched nerve.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: You can praise God and still have your check bounced.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: You can praise God and still be evicted. You can
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: praise God. Y'all aren't going to talk to me. Come on.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I want some real people in here. Praise is not
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: a panacea. It is not a cure-all. It doesn't fix everything.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: It doesn't straighten everything out. The real truth of the
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: matter is there's a great deal of difference between praise
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: and trust. Praise is an action. Trust is a noun.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Trust is a state of being. Do you understand what
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? When I talked to you earlier and I
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: began to talk about President Sirleaf and her coming, you
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: must understand that she was not the first one to
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: bring a quilt. In the early 1800s, she had a
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: predecessor who brought a quilt to Queen Victoria. It took
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: her 50 years to be able to do it. She
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: was a former slave, a literal former slave, not second,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: third generation, a literal former slave who put together a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: quilt for Queen Victoria. Her name is Martha Ricks. And
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: she brought the first quilt from Liberia to the Queen.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: And here she is, a former slave in the room
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: with the Queen of England. She walks into the room
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: with the Queen of England with a quilt, a quilt
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: that was made out of satin and embroidered with coffee trees,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: with berries and a border of passion flowers. A quilt
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that she had stitched with her own two hands to
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: bring to the queen. A quilt made out of different
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: substances and different fabrics, all different colors woven together. And
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: she made something beautiful out of rags. And when I
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: read Psalms 34, I begin to realize that Psalms 34
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: is teaching us that life is a quilt and that
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: we are quilts and yet God can make something beautiful
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: out of rags. One person sees disjointed, disconnected rags in
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the text and the other person sees a quilt. God
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: is a quilt maker. No wonder Jacob made for Joseph
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: a coat of many colors. He took colors that had
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with each other and stitched them together
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: until they became a coat, a coat of distinction. Its
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: distinction was its variation. I never will forget when I
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: was a young boy, my mother gave me one year
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: for Christmas a savings book to Kanawha Valley Bank. And
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: she gave me, you remember Canal Valley Bank? She gave
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: me a savings book to Canal Valley Bank. And every
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: time I would cut a lawn or do grass, I
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: would put $ 5 in it until I got enough money
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: in it for Christmas time so that I wouldn't have
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: to give her her money back for Christmas. Because you
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: know you are buying your own Christmas presents when your
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: kids give you something most of the time when they're little.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I decided I was going to break that trend. And
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I brought her this, it wasn't leather, it was suede.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: It was a suede coat. And I never will forget,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I remembered it, but there was
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: a tag on the coat that said, do not be
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: disturbed by the variations of colors or discolored spots. It
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: is proof of its authenticity. Authentic people are complicated. Authentic
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: people have variations. Authentic people have differences. Authentic people are
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: poor men crying and yet continual praise in their mouth
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and in trouble and delivered out of trouble. Authentic people
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: have ups and downs and peaks and valleys and winter
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: and spring and summer and fall. Authentic people talk faith
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: and go home and lay down in fear. Authentic people
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: believe God and yet say, help my unbelief. Authentic people
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: are a quagmire of disjointed, disconnected things. Authentic people are schizophrenic.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Authentic people are bipolar. Authentic people are the kinds of people,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: it depends on when you catch me, what you get.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Authentic people, one day you get wool, one day you
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: get silk, one day you get leaves, one day you
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: get plain. Authentic people are complicated, and yet we are
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: fearfully and marvelously made. We are created in the image
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: of God. Our God is love. Our God is love.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: But our God is also a God of wrath. Our
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: God gives life and our God takes life away. Our
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: God is authentic. You cannot tie him down. That's why
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: he told Moses, I am that I am. Don't try
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: to explain me. Don't try to make a blanket out
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: of me. I'm a quilt. I am that I am.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Before it's over, before your life is over, you're going
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: to say I'm bread. And the moment you think I'm bread,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you're going to find out I'm water. And the moment
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: you think I'm water, you're going to find out I'm
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: a cloud. And the moment you think I'm a cloud,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to turn into fire. Our God, we were
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: created in the likeness of God. We are quilted. We
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: were made. We were fearfully and marvelously made in the
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: image of a God who is a quilt. One moment
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: you see God saving babies. He saved Hagar's baby in
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the desert. And you would know that God loves babies
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: until you read Exodus where God killed all the babies
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: in Egypt. Oh, y'all quiet. God killed all the babies
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: in Egypt and told Pharaoh, I'm gonna kill all your
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: sons until you let my son go that don't sound
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: very nice that don't sound very loving that sounds like
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: God is mad sometimes God gets mad And the anger
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: of the Lord was kindled against the people. And the
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: anger of the Lord rose up. And the anger of
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: the Lord. And yet God is love. He is the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Prince of Peace. And yet the Prince of Peace said,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I came not to bring peace but a sword. God
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: is complicated. He killed some people for doing other things.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: The same thing that somebody else did, he let them
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: get by with it because our God is complicated. Oh,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: stay with me. Now, the thing about quilts, I grew
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: up with my grandmother's head quilts. Both of my grandmothers
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: had quilts. My last memory of my mother's mother was
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: sitting in a chair, in a rocking chair with a
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: quilt over her legs. And it was made out of
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: remnants and rags and fabrics that she'd taken from different places.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: And on one side it was colorful and it was
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: beautiful and it was ornate and stuffed no doubt with cotton.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: And then it had the backing. The backing was always
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: solid Somebody knows what I'm talking about. You don't see
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: a quilt that's quilted on both sides. Something has to
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: be solid. Something has to be stable. Something has to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: be consistent. Something has to be unmovable. Something has to
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: be unchangeable. And while it is unchangeable, everything else can
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: have variations in it. But you take that which is
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: a variable and sew it into that which is solid.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: And then you have a quilt. This text is a quilt.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: And so when I read the quilt and saw how
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: many different fabrics were in the text, I wanted to
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: check the back. So my next question was, what was
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: going on with David when he wrote this text? So
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: let's flip the quilt over. Can I go deeper with
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: this thing? Let's flip the quilt over and see why
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: David's front end sounds so schizo. We've got to get
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: to the back end to see what provoked the text
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: to be written in the first place. The reality of
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the matter is David does not write this while he's
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: dancing on the mountaintop. David does not write this while
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: he's killing Goliath. David does not write this as he's
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: playing the harp in the palace. David does not write
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: this as he has crowned the king of Israel. No,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: David writes this at a time that Saul is still
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: alive and trying to kill him. And he is on
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: the run from Saul. And he is on the run
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: from his own people. And there is no rejection like
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the rejection of your own people. Nothing hurts as bad
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: as the rejection of your own people. Because you think
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: your own people are your backing. But God had to
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: show him that your own people are not your backing. Oh, America,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: hear me today. Your own people are not your backing.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: At a time that we're breaking down into tribes and
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: you're either for us or against us and we're fighting
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: over black and white and brown and Democrat and Republicans
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: and mask and nomad and all kinds of stuff, your
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: own people are not your backing because people change and
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: they fluctuate and they go back and they go forward.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: And if you put all your hopes in, in the
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: group you attach to, you will always be disappointed. They
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: will always let you down. They will always sell you out.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: They will always leave you hanging because you cannot count
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: on people to have your back. I know they love
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: to tell you, I got your back, but the devil
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: is a liar. They do not have your back. The
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: only one who has your back is God. God has
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: got your back. Somebody shout, God has got my back.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: My front can have many textures. It can have many colors.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: It can have different feels. You can have silk and corduroy.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: You can have corduroy and wool. You can have wool
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: and polyester, and you can still make the quilt. But
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the back, it has to be
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: one fabric, consistent and stable, that holds it all together.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: There's one thing that's been holding you together. There's one
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: thing that kept you from losing your mind. There's one
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: thing that kept you from having a nervous breakdown. There's
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: one thing that kept you from committing suicide. There's one
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: thing that kept you from becoming an alcoholic. There's one
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: thing that kept you from driving the car off the cliff.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: That when everybody forsook you, when my mother and father
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: forsake me, the Bible says the Lord will take me up.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: When my own mother and father forsake me, the Lord
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: will take me up. So stop crying about what your
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: daddy did and what your mama did. Because even if
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: they didn't have your back, God sent me to tell you,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I've got your back. Elbow somebody and tell him he's
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: got my back. If you jump on me, you got
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: to jump on him because God has got my back.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: If you fight me, you got to fight God because
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: God has got my back. If you hate me, you
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: hate God because God has got my back. If you
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: got your foot on me, you got your foot on
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: God because God has got my back. He's got my
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: back when I'm right. He's got my back when I'm wrong.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: He's got my back when I'm weak. He's got my
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: back when I'm strong. He's got my back when I'm scared.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: He's got my back when I'm faithful. He's got my
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: back when I'm consistent. He's got my back when I'm unstable.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm here to praise him because he is
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the one that has my back. Now let everything that
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: have breath. Yes. I came to tell every one of
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: you who was in the valley when they were praising
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: God and he had to hold your hand up and
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: you said you were in the valley. I came to
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: tell you God's got your back. God's got this. You're
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: going through trouble but God's got this. You're in a
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: low place right now but God's got this. You're backed
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: up against a wall but God's got this. You got
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: a tumor but God's got this. They said it was
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: cancer but God's got this. Your heart is overwhelmed, but
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: God's got this. Your heart isn't got the right beat,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: but God's got this. Your blood pressure is up, but
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: God's got this. You're about to be on dialysis, but
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: God's got this. Your mama's in the hospital, but God's
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: got this. Your daddy's got cancer, but God's got this.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I need 30 seconds of crazy praise from the back
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: of the quilt. Yes. Yes. Yes. I want you to
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: say it three times. God's got this. Again. Again. Again.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: I wanted your ears to hear your mouth say, God's
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: got this. Your blood pressure just dropped down. Your nerves
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: just calmed down. Your peace just began to invade your soul.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: You're not in this by yourself. God's got this. Shout
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: out hallelujah. David writes this text down. David writes this. See,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: it's y'all's fault I can't finish fast because y'all make
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: me shout and holler and stuff. Hallelujah. Oh my God.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I think I needed to hear it myself. God's got this.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody else in here that needed to hear
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: God's got this? That the battle is not yours. It
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: belongs to God. Hallelujah. Though a host should encamp against me,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: my heart should not fear. Though war should rise against me,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: in this will I be confident. One thing have I
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: desired of the Lord. That will I seek after. That
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I may dwell in the house of the Lord all
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: the days of my life cause if I can get
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: to God I know God's got this if I call
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: you you might not answer if I text you you
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: might not respond but every time I call God every
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: time I call God every time I call him Every
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: time I call him. Every time I call him. Every time.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Every time I call him. Elbow three people and tell
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: them God's got this. God's got this. God's got this.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: God's got my back. God's got my backing. I might
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: be unstable but God's got my backing. I might act
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: crazy but God's got my back. I may talk like
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: an idiot but God's got my back. I may talk
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: out of my head but God's got my back. I
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: may contradict myself but God's got my back. My front
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: might be many colors but my back is stable. My
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: back My back, my back, my back, my back, my back,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: my back. Can I go deeper? Sit down and let
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: me go deeper. God's got my back. Somebody needed to
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: hear that this morning. Somebody needed this word from the Lord.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I know I got a word from the Lord. I
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: could feel it when I was getting it. I could
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: feel it in my hands. I could feel it in
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: my head. I could feel it in my feet. God
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: said you're going to give an answer to what somebody's
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: been praying about. Tell my people I got this. I
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: want you to feel this. David is running from a
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: man he protected. David is running from a man he admired.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: David is running from a man that he used to
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: play for. David is running from a man whose demons
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: he was familiar with. Whose musical ability had cast the
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: demons out of him. The only way Saul could get
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: to sleep was for David to play for him. In
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: one season. Then the season changed and the same man
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: who hired him died. is now trying to kill him.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: I wish I had a witness in this place. Have
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: you ever had people turn on you? Have you ever
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: had people switch on you? Have you ever had people
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: try to destroy you? The very people that you admired
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: and had an emotional investment in are now trying to
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: destroy you. It makes you nervous. It makes you scared.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: It makes you slow for the open up to people
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: because you can't tell what they're going to do next.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: David is now running from Saul. Which means he's running
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: from Saul's army. Which means he's running from an army
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: he used to lead. He's running from his own people.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: The people who ate like him and dressed like him
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: and danced like him and moved like him. And motioned
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: like him. He's running from his own culture. His own background,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: his own ethnicity is trying to kill him. It is
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: so bad that David ends up hiding amongst the Philistines.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: The Philistines had always been an enemy. If you're not careful,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: the rejection of your people will drive you into the
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: camp of your enemies. Come on with me. Come on
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: with me. Come on. I'm just showing you the backside
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: of the text. And there he is in this situation
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: with the Philistines and he gets with the Philistines and
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: he thinks maybe if I go into the Philistines, they
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: won't hurt me. Maybe they won't hurt me. Maybe they
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: won't remember that I killed Goliath. But as soon as
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: he moved in with the Philistines, the first thing the
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: priest did was say, aren't you? See, that's the trouble
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: with backsliding. If you ever really get saved. You can
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: go back in the strip club if you want to,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: but you dance like a deacon in the strip club
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: because once God puts his hands on your life, they
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: gonna know you're not really one of them. You can
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: play strip poker if you want to... But take off
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: all your clothes... And you're still going to be a
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: child of the king... Once God puts his hands on you...
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: It will never come off... It's indelible... It's immutable... It's unchangeable...
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: It will never pass away... Ask Peter... You can warm
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: yourself by the fire... But they'll point you out... And
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: say you've been with Jesus... If you've ever really been
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: with Jesus... You can never get that out of your skin.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: It'll come out of your pores when your car slides.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: You'll holler, oh Jesus. Everybody in the car be cussing,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: but you'll holler, oh Jesus. Is there anybody in here
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: that's been with Jesus? David had a reputation for military prowess.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: He had led the armies of Israel that he's now
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: running from. And the priest says to him, the priest
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: says to him, you ain't no Philistine. Every back sider
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: in this room, I want you to know. Every runaway girl,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: every prodigal son, they looking at you saying, you ain't
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: no Philistine. He says to him, the priest says to him,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: do you want... The sword because we've got the sword
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: that killed Goliath. But David cannot win this battle with
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: the sword. David is afraid that when they find him
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: they're going to imprison him or worse still they're going
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: to kill him. And if ever was a time that
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: he needed a sword it was now. But God had
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: a plan. I don't know who this is for. God
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: said you cannot fight today's battle with yesterday's weapon. What
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: used to work will not work in this situation. God said,
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to come back to me because
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I've got the plan for the problem you're facing right now.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: And the plan was David pretended to be insane. So
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: he started beating his head against the gate. just banging
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: his head up against the gate. They were bringing him
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: to Achish the king. And when the king saw him,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: David was beating his head up against the gate. And
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: then he started scribbling all over the wall, just anything,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: just writing all up down and sideways on the wall.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: And then he starts dropping spittle into his beard until
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: his beard was covered with spit. His head was banging
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: against the wall and his hand was scribbling. The Philistines
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: wanted nothing to do with him. Achish the king said,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: can't you see he's crazy? why did you let him
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: in here don't you think I have enough crazy people
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: already in Philistia that you would bring him in here
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: amongst us I don't need another crazy man put him
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: out He was like the Liberians. He escaped because God
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: had his. You're not going to escape because of your sword.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: You're going to escape because God has your. I want
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: to go deeper with this. He managed to escape. He
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: got away. You are going to get out of this.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Without your sword. Samuel 21, 8-10 says
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: he got the victory without fighting. Stop Fighting. The strategy
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: of the Lord is smarter than that. See, when God
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: has a plan, it's always a crazy plan. Who am
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: I talking to? The Lord told me to tell you
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: he's going to give you a crazy plan. God's plans
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: sound mad. Stuff like build a boat. In your backyard. Noah. Elijah,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: leave your inheritance and all of this property and all
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: of your relatives to go take a menial job washing
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: the hands of a prophet. That's crazy. Or, Elijah, go
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: to a bankrupt widow and there I'm going to sustain you.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Or Elijah, throw a stick in the water
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: to retrieve an ox head. That's crazy. Or I'm going
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: to send a backslidden prophet to run a revival in Nineveh.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Or Moses, stretch forth a stick and the
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Red Sea is going to get up out of your way.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Or go down across an innocent man so
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: guilty men can be saved. That's crazy. Or I'm going
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: to call a Christian terrorist to write most of the
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: New Testament epistles. That's crazy. Or humble yourself. so I
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: can exalt you. That's crazy. Or whosoever loses his life
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: shall find it. That's crazy. Or give me two fish
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: and five loaves of bread and I'll feed 5,000 people.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Or go to the tomb where you buried
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: your brother and roll the stone away. That's crazy. God
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: has a crazy plan. It's not going to make sense
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: to you. All of you rational people, you're going to
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: have to put your rationality behind you and go with
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: something that sounds totally crazy because God is going to
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: bring you out of your situation. God is going to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: bring you out of your trouble. God is going to
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: bring you out of your dilemma. If your ego doesn't
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: stop you from being willing to do something crazy, nudge
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: your neighbor and tell them I'm about to do something crazy.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I'm about to do something I never did before. I'm
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: about to act mad. I'm about to bang my head
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: against the wall. I'm about to spit in my own beard.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: I'm about to write up and down the side of
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: the wall. Whatever God has for you, it's a crazy blessing.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: They didn't hear me. I'm going to tell you, whatever
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: God has for you is a crazy blessing. They kind
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: of heard me. I'm going to try y'all. Whatever God
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: has for you is a crazy blessing. You've got to
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: be crazy. You've got to be crazy. If you're going
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: to do this, you've got to be crazy. I'm looking
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: for some crazy people. Paul said, I'm a fool for Christ.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody that's ready to act a fool? We're
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: in a season of trouble. Finances are crazy. Gas is
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: going up. The recession is on our heels. But God
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: said if you're willing to act a fool, I swear
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bless you. I'm going to pull you
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: out of this rut. I'm going to pull you out
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: of this hole. I'm going to pull you out of
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: this dilemma. But you got to be willing to act
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: a fool. Paul said, I'm a fool for Christ. I
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: want to preach to a room full of fools. A
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: room full of people that step out of a boat
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: and walk out on water. Don't have no bridge. Don't
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: see no rocks. But I'm going to walk on it anyway.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: God's getting ready to take you away. That would blow
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: your mind. I need a crazy praise up in this place.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: I need a praise online. I need a praise in
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: your living room. I need a praise on YouTube. I
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: need a praise on Facebook. This is a time that
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: God is going to elevate crazy people. Not people who
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: play it safe. Not people who play it cool. Not
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: people who play it easy. Not people who color in
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: the lines. You got to get outside of the lines.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: I Tired of coloring in the lines. I'm going to
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: get out the lines and do my own thing. It
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: may be scribbling, but it's going to work for you.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: It may look bad, but it's going to work for you.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: I need 30 seconds of crazy praise in this place.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Praise him. Praise him. Praise him. Praise him. Praise him.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: Praise him. Praise him. Praise him until hell gets nervous.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Praise him until the devil knows you know something that
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: he don't know. Praise him till they turn you loose.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Praise him till your handcuffs come off. Praise him till
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: your shackles fall. Praise him till your feet move. Praise
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: him till you get your mind out. I rebuke the
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: spirit of worry. I rebuke the spirit of fatigue. I
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: rebuke the spirit of discomfort. Because what God is getting
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: ready to do for you is absolutely crazy. What God
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: is getting ready to do for you is absolutely crazy.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: That's right. Walk around like a crazy woman. Hannah acted
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: like she lost her mind. She came in the temple
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: and staggered like she was drunk. But she got her baby.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: And if you're willing to go crazy, God will do
