Today's Word 07-08-25 You Need to Build Some Alters · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. You need
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to build some altars. You need to build some altars.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Genesis thirty five seven says Jacob built an altar there
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and named the place El Bethel, which means God of Bethel,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: because God had appeared to him there when he was
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: fleeing from his brother Esau. As Jacob did. In today's scripture,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: we can all look back in life and see times
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: when God made a way where there seemed to have
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: been no way. We knew it was the hand of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: God that protected us from a car accident, that promoted
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: us when we know we didn't deserve it, that brought
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: us through a loss, that healed us when the doctor
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: gave us a Graham diagnosis. See those weren't Jess coincidences.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: In the old, when these kind of things happened, people
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: took the time to build an altar to thank God
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: for what he'd already done. See, they would look back
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: at those altars, and that was fuel for their faith.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: They knew that if He did it back then, he
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: would do it again. Well, the Word of God tells
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: us in Hebrews thirteen and eight. Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: today and forever. If you find it in the word
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of God, you see the example, You see what he's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: done for somebody else. Guess what he'll do the same
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: thing for you. We should still be building altars today,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: so to speak to remind us of the wonderful things
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that God has done in I in life, so that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we take the time to say God, thank you. Yell.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Is so easy to get busy that we don't recognize
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the blessings of God. We take the favor, we take
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the healing, we take the protection and the provision of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: God for granted. But I always say, if you take
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the time to think, you'll begin to think. When you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: take the time to acknowledge what God has done, you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: recognize He brought you safely through a sickness. He gave
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you that person to love. He opened a door that's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: taking you further than you ever imagined. When you pause
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to say God, I recognize this is your goodness. Thank
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you for your favor, thank you for your mercy. That's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: building an altar. You need to build some altars to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: remind yourself just how good, just how faithful, just how
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: merciful our God is. Fabaly God, thank you, Thank you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: for the strength that rises within us whenever we remember
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: what you've done in our lives. Thank you for the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: countless times you made a way when there seems to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have been no way, when you open doors that seem
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to be close. God, we will build altars and remember
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: your goodness in our lives in Jesus' name. Hey, now
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that's your work for today. I want you to take
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that apply it to your everyday life and you continue
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired. It is your early morning
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
