GOD HAS YOUR BACK! TRUST HIM THROUGH EVERY BATTLE Bishop T.D. Jakes · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

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

  Speaker 1: your mind. I need a crazy praise. Up in this place.

  Speaker 1: is going to elevate crazy people, not people who play
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: it safe, not people who play it cool, not people
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: who play it easy, not people who color in the lines.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: You got to get outside of the lines. I I'm
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: tired of coloring in the lines. I'm going to get
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: out the lines and do my own thing. It may
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: be scribbling, but it's going to work for you. It
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: may look bad, but it's going to work for you.

• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: She came in the temple and staggered like she was drunk.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: But she got her baby. And if you're willing to
• 1:05:22

• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to do it. I may have to
