John one fourteen Church located in Troy, Alabama, Alijah. And
this is our morning worship. Hallelujah. And the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld as glory
(00:37):
that of the only Begod, of the Father, full of
grace and truth. And it is our endeavor in this

Speaker 3 (01:09):
We're gonna have a word of prayer right now before
we move any further. Father, again, thank you. I don't
think we can say thank you enough, because we know
Lord that you are worthy of the praise, because, as
a song said, you never fail, you will never come
(01:34):
short of your promises. You're always a keeper of your will.
You're faithful even when we are not.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We thank you, Lord, because it is you who woke
us up this morning. It is you who put the
breath in our life. It is you who give us
a learned tongue. It is you who have opened up
our ear to hear. Now, Lord, as we open up
our mouths, we believe that you will feel them as
we give ear hearken. We believe that you will fill
(02:10):
our ears with the good things that come from your
throne concerning your will concerning us and one another.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So we yield to the spirit on today, Lord, and
I ask.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Lord, that help me to decrease, that you will increase
to me, and that to preach word the gospel of
Jesus Christ, the good news.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Your script will go forth for the edifying of your saints. Hallelujah,
so that you will get all the glory down in
the praise in Jesus name. Amen, Amen, hallelujah. This morning,
I'm going to focus on one scripture. One scripture. I
(02:50):
want you to turn with me to Psalms. I have
other scriptures as well.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Now we'll give them to you as we go to
support of what I'm about to share with you that
the Lord gave me one scripture Songs sixty nine, the
sixty ninth division of Songs, the sixty ninth Division of Songs,
(03:23):
Psalms sixty.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Nine, Psalm sixty nine. Write it.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
We're going to focus on verse thirty. We're going to
focus on verse thirty. A few months ago, we were
in our all night prayer and one of our guests,
one of the guest bishops, came on and he gave
(03:51):
us a word from the Lord. It was about three
in the morning, three thirty four in the morning, and
we had been there for most of the night, listening
and gleaning from one another and praying unto the Lord,
and he gave us this scripture, and it kind of
(04:15):
didn't kind of it was one of many. But at
this particular time, how many y'all know that God will
speak a word to you in the season that will
remain with you, that will help you through that season,
that would enlighten your path, Because he said, the Word
is a lamping to my feet and a lighting to
our path.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And and that.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Lamp that is lit and kind of gives you a
general view of everything that's around you, that light will
lighten up us in front of you, but you want
a general view, and uh, this particular word just came
to me like that.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And scripture reads this way, those who have here, let
him hear with spirits in and I will praise the
name of God with a song. And I will praise
the name.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Of God with a song, so theyve been saying, and
will magnify him with thanksgiving, And will magnify him God
with thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Maybe the Lord had a blessing to a reading, hearing
and the doing of his words.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Now let's start with the first part of this one scripture,
and I hope it can affect you greater than it
affected me. The Bible says, I will praise the name
of God with a song. Many of us can sing, right,
(05:53):
and some of us can't sing, so just myself, but
I try. He said, make a joy for noise. You know,
I crack and I do all those other things. But
I do my best to be obeting what he says.
And he says, praise the name of God with a song.
There are songs that I like, but I don't know
all the words, but they are specific words in those
(06:15):
songs that encourage me that minister to me hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Because I have to work out my own salvation.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
See, because although I'm married and I have a walk
with my wife, but I still have a walk with Christ.
I still have a walk with Christ. And it's Him
that teaches me how to have a relationship with my wife,
(06:45):
because he's teaching me how to have relationshipsship with the
Father through him. Am I making myself clear? He's teaching
me how to have a relationship with the Father through Him,
through faith. Hallelujah. Because I have to love my neighbors.
I have to love even my enemies. Okay, if I
(07:09):
want to be called a disciple of God, I've got
to love. Let me put that on the table. I've
got to love. It's no other way. Obey my commandments.
If you, my disciples, obey my commandments, well this commandments
to left love one to the other. Go get around it.
So the bitterness, the envy, the strife, and all those
other things that we have a tendency to harbor in
(07:33):
our hearts. God is saying, get that stuff out of there.
Get it out of there. And the best way for
you to do it is let me come close so
I can perform some surgery on you show you some things,
and help you get that stuff out of here. So
he says, I will praise the name of.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
God with a song.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Let's deal with praise. Praise God praised. Now with praise,
we invite God into our lives. With praise, we invite
God into our lives.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
We say, how you do that? Passwords.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Psalm twenty two to three says, but thou art holy,
This is where we get descripted from.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
But that art holy. David is saying to but thou
art holy?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Talking to God, O thou that inhabits the praises of Israel.
So I'm twenty two three, O thou that have inhabits
the praise of Israel. God inhabits the praise of his people.
So when you sing unto the Lord, don't look at
(08:41):
and at the fact that you may not be a singer,
or that you miss don't get all the words right,
or your tone is not like somebody else's. But the
fact that you obeyed him and you sung to him
gets his attention.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Y'all getting this it gets his attention. He's drawn to it.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Number one, because of your obedience. You obeyed him. You
didn't look at the fact that you're not a singer.
You didn't look at the fact that you don't know
all the words, but you parken to his voice to
perform it, and it drew him to you. Hallelujah. Yeah,
(09:29):
it's like you cut on the light at night on
the outside. At first, there are no bugs, but just
leave it there a little while on. All of a sudden,
all these bugs come to that light, flying around it,
and if you get close to it, they get to
flying on you.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
But they're drone to that light.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And God has drawn to our obedience to sing to
him that listen. Praise is a verb use to describe
an action. Praise is a verb used to describe an action.
Remember that He inhabits the praise of his people. See
(10:11):
God takes action by being drawn to what your obedience
and singing hallelujah. I hope y'all getting this. This This
is make me happy just thinking about it. He's drawn
to your beatings and singing glory to God.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm not gonna talk about our voice is here and God.
God might look down and say that boy can't sing
a let, but look at it. Look at him.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
He's doing what I told him to do. But he's drawn,
he takes action. He drowned my God. He's drawn to
our obedience and singing, despite the fact I can't sing,
my God. To praise is to celebrate, to glorify, sing
or to boast.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
The meaning to praise is actually the meaning of the
intensive of the intensive form of the Hebrew verb hall
leo holl leo, the Hebrew word hallo, which it in
its simple act form, which in its simple active form
(11:22):
excuse me, I mean to say, its active form means
to boast.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
When you sing, you're boasting on God. Now, how many
of you out there are attractive? When somebody boasts about you,
they start boasting your name, he said, boast his name.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
They start.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I can say some names right now to many of you,
John and Lisa, Sandra, Glory of Vernon.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I can say your name.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
But when you hear somebody boasting about you, that gets
your attention, and God really acts to that. So hallelujah
in a sense shouting on a jubilation, Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I believe that praise is.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
A response we as humans can express to all for
our God. It's a response act on our part that
we can that we can express or perform concerning our God,
(12:35):
and we act in belief through faith. This is our
belief in God. Through faith, we obey his command and
we sing to him. Even though we don't believe that
we can sing in obedience, we sing to him and
that gets his attention. That's our act of obedience, that's
(12:59):
our verb, that's our part. Our action to his command
is to obey. So he's drawn to our praise. Hallelujah.
So he's drawn to our praise. Listen to him. This
(13:21):
really got me to thinking that it was over two
months ago I heard this, but it really got me
to thinking, now God is attracted to me now because
I simply just start singing to.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Him with my voice. I just started singing to him,
believing that he's gonna come see about me. Let's deal
with the other part of that scripture.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
And will magnify him with thanksgiving, the Bible said. David said,
entering this gates with thanksgiving and its courts with praise.
Be thankful un to him. The Bible says, be thankful,
call elujah, be thankful. What do we have to be
(14:17):
thankful about? Is it that I'm going through problems? Is
it that I'm going through a gluttany of troubles. I
got bills that need to be paid, and it's a
struggle now because certain finances are being with hell and
(14:43):
are being threatened to be with hell. My health seems
to be getting ah more needful of attention. Can I
say it like that? My health it seemed to be
getting more needful of attention. I got up this morning,
(15:06):
got ready to go into the kitchen get me a
cup of coffee, and I was a little stiff. I said,
oh boy, And I wanted to say, oh, you're getting
old and think towards that, but I said, no, I'm
not gonna think like that. Great as he that's in me,
then he that's in the world. So I'm a vessel hallelujah.
(15:28):
And so I said, thank you God, thank you for
things being as well as they are. I still can walk,
I still can sing, even though it ain't the most
pleasant sound in the.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
World, but I still can't. And then it got your attention.
And see when you get his attention like that, he's
closer to you, like I am up to this, He's
closer to you.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And when you say thank you Lord, guess what he
hears it and he looks into your heart, and he said, wow,
she really means that. He really means that he has
a des Dore's a song. Say a closer walk with thee.
(16:21):
Oh Lord, hallelujah. Just took closer walk with thee. Graded
Jesus is my please. I tell y'all, I can't say.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Daily closer walk with thee. Let it be, dear Lord,
let it be.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
And as you walk with him, because you're singing glory
to God, he gets to look into your heart and
you say, well, I'm sixty nine now, I'm not twenty
five anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But I made it, Thank you Lord. M We started
off with some simple things. I was able to wake
up this morning and open my eyes. I live in
a trailer home. It ain't blowed away, thank you Lord.
It wasn't set on fire, Thank you Lord. Everybody in
(17:24):
the house is well, Thank you Lord. I talked to
my kids the other day, my sons yesterday and my
grandkids the other day. Ain't good. Help my brothers, Thank
you Lord. To go and get me a cup of coffee.
Then he gave me the money to buy, Thank you Lord,
(17:49):
and to go and see my son yesterday, our son yesterday.
I was able to drive a vehicle that he gave me.
Now that I owe very little one, Thank you Lord.
He supplied me the money to pay the bill. And
that's another that's a big thing. That was once a
time in my life when it would have been a
(18:11):
struggle for me to pay a bill, even when I
had it in my pocket. Thank you Lord. But that's
changed because his presence. Thank you Lord. See, I can
go on and on and on when I think of
God's goodness of things to give thanks.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
To, to think him about. I have much to think about.
I'm not the person I used to be. I don't
think like I used to think. I don't go to
places I used to go. Now am I completely perfect
in the eyes of man, not even in I God know?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But I'm perfect in Christ Jesus, What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I obey his word, And because I'm obeying word, I'm
walking not in my own understanding, but I'm walking in
the understanding of God that is given to me through
his son Jesus, to Christ. So he stands in my
stead and I live in him, and He lives through me.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I hope that's making sense. See all this is because
of praise.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But let me tell you about magnified once I have
given him thanks, and do give him thanks. Psalms thirty four,
two and three says this, my soul shall make her boast.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh, somebody heard that before. My soul shall make her boasts,
And the Lord the humble shall hear there and be
glad verse three. All magnifying the Lord with me, and
let us oh exalt his name together praise and thanksgiving again.
(20:01):
In order to magnify him, you got to give him thanks.
You got to give him thanks. In order to exalt
his name, you got to give him praise. So that
is giving of thanks, hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
And that is shouting his name again, hallelujah, telling of
his wondrous works, telling of his deeds, hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Go over to God, hallelujah. Look at Job thirty six.
Y'all know, y'all know that all job that job went through.
Job thirty six twenty four verse twenty four. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Remember that thou magnify his works. Hallelujah. Remember that Thou
magnify his works, which men behold.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
See.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
When you Christ is in you the hoope of glory.
You don't live for yourself. With you are a vessel
for God and your the transforming of your mind takes
place before men. They see your new way of doing,
the new way that the different way that you do things. Hallelujah.
(21:17):
And it magnifies the God in you through Christ Jesus.
It magnifies him as the hope that you've been looking for,
the glory that it has revealed. It magnified his works,
It magnified his character, his love for us in the earth.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Hallelujah, because it exalts his name. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And men get to see, men get to see the
works of God perform what in you and through you.
I hope y'all getting this this one little this one
little scripture talking about praising and then uh it talks.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
About uh uh.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Magnifiing with yo giving the facts. Now, this magnify is
also verb means to take action. It's to enlarge and
to enhance, to maximize, to increase, to expand, to amplify,
to intensify, to hyphen, to deathen, to deepen mm hmm,
(22:30):
to exaggerate, to overstate, to.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Over emphasize, to cover completely. So what are you saying
in pastor hooks? What are you're saying when the law
started dealing with me about the scripture.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
As I said, over two months ago, I started thinking
about it, and that if I was thinking on it
even at night, he showed me a big ship of
an umbrella.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It started out.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You know, you have an umbrella like this, and you
start pushing a little switch up, and as you push
the switch up, it begins to spread. It begins to
spread until it covers you. So when the rain is falling,
you don't feel the rain.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Uh oh, y'all, hope, y'all, y'all get me now. So
whatever's on the outside don't affect you.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Remember you in his presence, Holley, and he promises you
while you're going through these trials fully of joy, For
in his presence is fullness of joy.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Y'all read your scriptures. Lujah. He promised you some joy.
If you ain't getting your joy and something right, something
is not happening, you're not taking full advantage of his presence.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
It's not just for scream in a shower and to
roll around on the ground on the speaking togs. He
promised you joy. Call in Lujah while you go through
not joy, but in the in the act of being
in a furnace of affliction. Don't you know the Hebrew
(24:19):
boys when they were in that furnace, they stayed in there.
They could have got out, they stayed in there.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
They said.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
The smoke didn't even you can't even smell it on them.
The fire didn't even touch it or consumer. And it
was never Conniz he look at it. It was never
Caniza that recognize. Ask yourself. It was him that recognized.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I see a fourth man in the fire with him,
and he looks like the son of God. Now how
did he know that? I remember, Paul, the silences they
were in the dungeons. They were sending praises to God. Hallelujah,
(25:10):
And the presidence of the Lord's in there with them
to change the uh uh uh. The shackles were loosed
off of them, the jailers uh changed. Hallelujah. When the
presence of the Lord comes into the place, things happen.
(25:34):
When you start giving them thanks, you get covered. I
seen that umbrella spiritually, and the more I gave him thinks,
the more I started thinking about what I was giving
them thanks for, and then them then my giving of
thanks became real. You know how you said, thank you
(25:54):
for give me a dollar.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
But when you see what that dollar meant to you,
all the things that it helped you to accomplish, your
thank your giving of thanks became more deeper, man became
more real. Why because you've seen how that dollar paid
so much of it affected your life so much. And
(26:18):
without that dollar, the thing that happened wouldn't have happened.
So it makes your giving of thanks even more sincere
is the word I'm looking for, Hello, somebody. So when
God sees that, and when you start going down, when
I think of the goodness of Jesus and all that
(26:41):
He's done for me, he said, and you count your
blessings one by one, name of one by one, Glory
to God, hallylujah. That sincerity of your giving of thanks
begins to be rich.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And because remember he's in the presence.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Now and he's looking at your heart and you see
the earnest of your spirit.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Now, Glory to God, hallelujah. And when he sees that,
his territory.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Begins to spread, hallelujah, shin dow hate, Glory to God,
my God from glory. Jabas prayer said that I'm going
to strengthen high my stakes and I'm gonna stretch my
tent and I'm gonna lift in my cards. Why enlarge
my territory. Hallelujah, Glory to God, hallelujah. See the hallelujah.
(27:32):
The places that you used to couldn't go because they
were all limits to you.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
God has made away shine dow that cat. Glory to God, hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
To go into all the world and make disciple of
the man he said, fear not. I am with you always,
even until the end of the earth, for the earth
is the Lord. Oh, don't get ahead of yourself. Hallelujah.
Let me see, I'm getting happy. I'm getting hid of myself,
but I'm getting ready to go there any right now.
(28:02):
Why this is one of the reasons why. Hallelujah. Salms
twenty four one and two. Hallelujah, Palms twenty four one
and two, Hallelujah, hallelujah. See God can do great and
mighty things when we obey him, praise him with a song.
(28:27):
I don't care if you can say or not Hallelujah.
I don't care if you don't know Christian songs. Start
listening to something and start mimicking Hallelujah, Glory to God.
And we start giving them thanks. Just start giving them thanks,
and watch God bring to your remember some things that
you have a reason to give him thanks for, and
(28:50):
that will increase. Just open your mouth and do it,
and watch God start showing you great and mighty things.
He gonna cover you even more those problems that you
had and you just couldn't solve them, My God, from glory. Hallelujah,
Watch God work Glory to God. He says, the earth
(29:12):
is the Lord and the fullness thereof the world, and
they that dwell therein Now what we thought to him,
that the men and the women of this world, rich
and influencial and powerful, men, men of authority, that they.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Were in controlled m.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
The earth is the Lord and the fullness the earl,
and they who is they?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Everyone that dwells in it. All souls belong to God,
but the soul that sentence shall surely God die. Every
soul that's on this planet Earth belongs to God, My God.
The bad, the good, the ugly, indifferent, all belong to God. Hallelujah.
(30:00):
For He has founded it up on the seas, and
established it up on the floods.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
God made this every man, woman, born, child, God created
when you were in your mother's wound, he knew you.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
John Saint John's Verse one, Chapter one, verse three says
this all fevers were made by Him. Without him, was
not anything that was made. God made everything. We're talking
about magnifying God. We're talking about praising God, hallelujah. Just
(30:45):
by our act of obedience and singing a song to
Him and giving a thanks, we magnify him.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
We bring him in closer. We'll invite him in excuse me,
we invite him to have a closer walk with thee. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
We published the name of God and his promises along
with his faithfulness to perform every one of them. Every
one of them he performs. Hallelujah, Not one left undone
faithful is our God. Hallelujah. God created the heavens and
(31:23):
the earth. He spoke, and it was his word, even
became flesh. And now, like David, we put our trust
and belief in God to do exactly what he said
he will do.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Hallelujah. Can you imagine, yes, just by opening your mouth
and singing to God, just by opening your mouth and
thanking Him for the things that he's done, He's gonna come.
You invite him in so he can magnify his presence
(32:05):
over us. Y'all saying this in the spirit Ram, you
invite him in until he can magnify his presence over us.
It's not his will that any should perish, but that
all should come to repement, that all encompassing God will
invite him in so he can magnify his presence over us. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Loved to God, listen. David said this and Psalm sixty nine,
I read you palm verse thirty. But look at what
he said.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
In one two and three. Why Why did he praise him?
Why did he give him thanks? Why?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
David Wrotes said, excuse me. David said he was like
a mind, just like us, but he loved God. He said,
save me, Oh God, for the waters are come in.
Unto my soul, I stink in deep mirror where there
(33:21):
is no standing. I am coming too deep waters. Whether
the floods overflow me. I am weary of crying.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
My throat is dried, my eyes fell while I wait
for my God.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
David was in trouble. David, you can say, David, with
that is wit'sid. Like many of us, life has beat
you down there of this world. Even though the scriptures
talk to the about telling us not to be concerned
(34:05):
about them, they do bother us. They do concern us,
the cares of this world. What's going on in your
personal life? It does affect you, how you gonna make
it from day today does affect us. Your body become
(34:29):
more mature, does affect your thinking.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
And sometimes you get you become weary and you start
crying by yourself. All y'all human, I know you've done it.
You've cried by yourself, and you say, God, help me.
Nobody knows what I've been through.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Help me.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
You see, God, you know, help me. And God told David.
David said this, I know what I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna invite me and I'm praise him with a song.
I'm gonna sing to him inviting me, and I'm gonna
give him a concert. I ain't gonna worry about how
(35:18):
my voice sound, none of that. I'm gonna give him
a concert. I'm ana sing to him a song, and
then once he get in, I'm gonna start telling tell
him how I feel about it. I thank you. My
body may be racked with pain, but I thank you.
I'm still alive. I may owe some bills and that bill,
but Lord you sustain me anyway.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I may have been treated wrong by this person, that
person the other, but God, you have never failed me.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Hallelujah. I may have bad thoughts and my life is
not consistent enough Hallelujah for me, But yet you remain
faithful to me. Thank God, hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
See David, like us, knew all he had to do
would be honest with God and obey seemed to him. Hallelujah,
and thank him for what has been done, and not
complain about what he is not done, but thank him
(36:31):
for what has been done. And God came in, and
with each giving of thanks he magnified himself over his son.
He brought his wings his hands over the Bible. Said
(36:54):
he that dwelleth in the secret place of most times,
shall abiden under the shadow of your own Lighty, I
will say of the Lord, he is my refuge, He
is my fortunes In him what I trust. Sing to
the Lord, these saints tell him of his goodness. Don't
(37:21):
complain about what you don't have or what you want.
Thank him for what he's allowed you to have and
what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Don't think of those things that are bad, that that
make you feel better, think of those things that are good,
and let the Lord cover you. Little Saul says, in
times like these, we need a savior. In times like these,
(37:54):
we need a friend. In times like the.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
We read our Bible in time like the when need
that anchor. Be very sure, be very sure your ankle hope,
(38:21):
your anchor hope angry mm hmm. The solid rock. That
rocket is.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Jeter mm hmmm. Here's my friend mm hmm. That rocket
jetter my savior mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
With he, be very sure, be very sure that your
ankle hopes m hm hm. That's your ankle holds.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Mhmm. Hold on to Jesus, that's your ankle holds angry.
And here that's all that ah, let's gray.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
M h.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Father.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
The simplicity of your instruction towards us in what to
do makes it easier than what we think it should be.
You put no criteria over how it should sound when
(39:50):
we sing. You just said singing Joe for noise.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Noise. You didn't say what we should give things, but
you said in all things give thanks. But this is
the will of God concerning us.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
You said in that we invite you into our circumstances,
our problems, I need, our concerns, and our troubles, and
with thanksgiving, with the giving of things over the small things.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Things being as well as they are, you are magnified.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
You are magnified, even as the umbrella is unfolded to
cover us from the rains, to shield us from the sun, hallelujah,
to hide us in your shadow. Lord, you have given
(40:58):
us mhm hallelujah. You have given us this joy to
have in you help us to receive it. In Jesus' name,
we pray man in a man. Now, those of you
(41:20):
who don't know Jesus and the partner of your sin,
I'm inviting you now to have a relationship with God
through Christ Jesus. The Bible simply says, if you confess
with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in
(41:41):
your heart that God raising from the dead, thus shall
be saved. For with the heart you believe unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. So literally,
if you believe that Jesus is the son of God,
(42:01):
if you believe that He is the Christ who.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Came down from heaven.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
And died for the sins of the world, your candidate
to be received as an heir of God and a.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Joint heir with Christ, to become a son of God.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
If you believe that, repeat after me, Father, thank you
for allowing me to come to your throne of grace.
Forgive me for my sins. Come into my heart and
(42:43):
be my Lord as well as savior. I believe that
Jesus died for my sins because I believe that he
is your son. I believe that the same spirit that
raised him up from the dead would also raise me
up from dead works. In three days he was raised
and the dead.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
I believe it. Oelujah the Father. I asked you, Lord.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
To pour your spirit into me so that I can
be empowered to be a witness of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
And I thank you, and I give you praise in
Jesus name. Amen and Amen. Now, if you've prayed that prayer.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Believing that God is saving you, you are saved. You
are saved because of faith. It's by God's grace to
this God's favor to give you that.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
You are saved. Now it's time for you to be taught.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
Even Saul when he was knocked off his when he
fell off his beast on the Damascus road, had to
be taught the things of God. It's time for you
to be taught now. Now while you go through life
is still going to happen a call. You have the
right now to call on the name of Jesus and
(44:11):
ask God for help. But its essential and imperative that
you find a Bible based church, spirit led. A Bible
based church, spirit led, meaning that they read out of
the King, out of the Bible, the scriptures of the Bible.
(44:31):
I'm not talking about any other thing but the Bible,
King James version of the NIV version, but the Bible, hallelujah.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, good morning to each of you that are joining

John one fourteen Church located in Troy, Alabama, Alijah. And
this is our morning worship. Hallelujah. And the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld as glory
(00:37):
that of the only Begod, of the Father, full of
grace and truth. And it is our endeavor in this
ministry to give you the word of the unadulterated Word
of God, that the Word may become your lives, that
it becomes you, become the vessels that God uses every
(00:57):
day to do his good will in the earth.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And the Word became flesh, and that is you. Hallelujah.
Good again, Good morning to each of you. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We're gonna have a word of prayer right now before
we move any further. Father, again, thank you. I don't
think we can say thank you enough, because we know
Lord that you are worthy of the praise, because, as
a song said, you never fail, you will never come
(01:34):
short of your promises. You're always a keeper of your will.
You're faithful even when we are not.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
We thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We thank you, Lord, because it is you who woke
us up this morning. It is you who put the
breath in our life. It is you who give us
a learned tongue. It is you who have opened up
our ear to hear. Now, Lord, as we open up
our mouths, we believe that you will feel them as
we give ear hearken. We believe that you will fill
(02:10):
our ears with the good things that come from your
throne concerning your will concerning us and one another.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So we yield to the spirit on today, Lord, and
I ask.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Lord, that help me to decrease, that you will increase
to me, and that to preach word the gospel of
Jesus Christ, the good news.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Your script will go forth for the edifying of your saints. Hallelujah,
so that you will get all the glory down in
the praise in Jesus name. Amen, Amen, hallelujah. This morning,
I'm going to focus on one scripture. One scripture. I
(02:50):
want you to turn with me to Psalms. I have
other scriptures as well.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Now we'll give them to you as we go to
support of what I'm about to share with you that
the Lord gave me one scripture Songs sixty nine, the
sixty ninth division of Songs, the sixty ninth Division of Songs,
(03:23):
Psalms sixty.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Nine, Psalm sixty nine. Write it.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
We're going to focus on verse thirty. We're going to
focus on verse thirty. A few months ago, we were
in our all night prayer and one of our guests,
one of the guest bishops, came on and he gave
(03:51):
us a word from the Lord. It was about three
in the morning, three thirty four in the morning, and
we had been there for most of the night, listening
and gleaning from one another and praying unto the Lord,
and he gave us this scripture, and it kind of
(04:15):
didn't kind of it was one of many. But at
this particular time, how many y'all know that God will
speak a word to you in the season that will
remain with you, that will help you through that season,
that would enlighten your path, Because he said, the Word
is a lamping to my feet and a lighting to
our path.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And and that.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Lamp that is lit and kind of gives you a
general view of everything that's around you, that light will
lighten up us in front of you, but you want
a general view, and uh, this particular word just came
to me like that.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And scripture reads this way, those who have here, let
him hear with spirits in and I will praise the
name of God with a song. And I will praise
the name.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Of God with a song, so theyve been saying, and
will magnify him with thanksgiving, And will magnify him God
with thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Maybe the Lord had a blessing to a reading, hearing
and the doing of his words.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Now let's start with the first part of this one scripture,
and I hope it can affect you greater than it
affected me. The Bible says, I will praise the name
of God with a song. Many of us can sing, right,
(05:53):
and some of us can't sing, so just myself, but
I try. He said, make a joy for noise. You know,
I crack and I do all those other things. But
I do my best to be obeting what he says.
And he says, praise the name of God with a song.
There are songs that I like, but I don't know
all the words, but they are specific words in those
(06:15):
songs that encourage me that minister to me hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Because I have to work out my own salvation.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
See, because although I'm married and I have a walk
with my wife, but I still have a walk with Christ.
I still have a walk with Christ. And it's Him
that teaches me how to have a relationship with my wife,
(06:45):
because he's teaching me how to have relationshipsship with the
Father through him. Am I making myself clear? He's teaching
me how to have a relationship with the Father through Him,
through faith. Hallelujah. Because I have to love my neighbors.
I have to love even my enemies. Okay, if I
(07:09):
want to be called a disciple of God, I've got
to love. Let me put that on the table. I've
got to love. It's no other way. Obey my commandments.
If you, my disciples, obey my commandments, well this commandments
to left love one to the other. Go get around it.
So the bitterness, the envy, the strife, and all those
other things that we have a tendency to harbor in
(07:33):
our hearts. God is saying, get that stuff out of there.
Get it out of there. And the best way for
you to do it is let me come close so
I can perform some surgery on you show you some things,
and help you get that stuff out of here. So
he says, I will praise the name of.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
God with a song.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Let's deal with praise. Praise God praised. Now with praise,
we invite God into our lives. With praise, we invite
God into our lives.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
We say, how you do that? Passwords.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Psalm twenty two to three says, but thou art holy,
This is where we get descripted from.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
But that art holy. David is saying to but thou
art holy?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Talking to God, O thou that inhabits the praises of Israel.
So I'm twenty two three, O thou that have inhabits
the praise of Israel. God inhabits the praise of his people.
So when you sing unto the Lord, don't look at
(08:41):
and at the fact that you may not be a singer,
or that you miss don't get all the words right,
or your tone is not like somebody else's. But the
fact that you obeyed him and you sung to him
gets his attention.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Y'all getting this it gets his attention. He's drawn to it.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Number one, because of your obedience. You obeyed him. You
didn't look at the fact that you're not a singer.
You didn't look at the fact that you don't know
all the words, but you parken to his voice to
perform it, and it drew him to you. Hallelujah. Yeah,
(09:29):
it's like you cut on the light at night on
the outside. At first, there are no bugs, but just
leave it there a little while on. All of a sudden,
all these bugs come to that light, flying around it,
and if you get close to it, they get to
flying on you.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
But they're drone to that light.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And God has drawn to our obedience to sing to
him that listen. Praise is a verb use to describe
an action. Praise is a verb used to describe an action.
Remember that He inhabits the praise of his people. See
(10:11):
God takes action by being drawn to what your obedience
and singing hallelujah. I hope y'all getting this. This This
is make me happy just thinking about it. He's drawn
to your beatings and singing glory to God.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm not gonna talk about our voice is here and God.
God might look down and say that boy can't sing
a let, but look at it. Look at him.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
He's doing what I told him to do. But he's drawn,
he takes action. He drowned my God. He's drawn to
our obedience and singing, despite the fact I can't sing,
my God. To praise is to celebrate, to glorify, sing
or to boast.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
The meaning to praise is actually the meaning of the
intensive of the intensive form of the Hebrew verb hall
leo holl leo, the Hebrew word hallo, which it in
its simple act form, which in its simple active form
(11:22):
excuse me, I mean to say, its active form means
to boast.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
When you sing, you're boasting on God. Now, how many
of you out there are attractive? When somebody boasts about you,
they start boasting your name, he said, boast his name.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
They start.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I can say some names right now to many of you,
John and Lisa, Sandra, Glory of Vernon.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I can say your name.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
But when you hear somebody boasting about you, that gets
your attention, and God really acts to that. So hallelujah
in a sense shouting on a jubilation, Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I believe that praise is.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
A response we as humans can express to all for
our God. It's a response act on our part that
we can that we can express or perform concerning our God,
(12:35):
and we act in belief through faith. This is our
belief in God. Through faith, we obey his command and
we sing to him. Even though we don't believe that
we can sing in obedience, we sing to him and
that gets his attention. That's our act of obedience, that's
(12:59):
our verb, that's our part. Our action to his command
is to obey. So he's drawn to our praise. Hallelujah.
So he's drawn to our praise. Listen to him. This
(13:21):
really got me to thinking that it was over two
months ago I heard this, but it really got me
to thinking, now God is attracted to me now because
I simply just start singing to.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Him with my voice. I just started singing to him,
believing that he's gonna come see about me. Let's deal
with the other part of that scripture.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
And will magnify him with thanksgiving, the Bible said. David said,
entering this gates with thanksgiving and its courts with praise.
Be thankful un to him. The Bible says, be thankful,
call elujah, be thankful. What do we have to be
(14:17):
thankful about? Is it that I'm going through problems? Is
it that I'm going through a gluttany of troubles. I
got bills that need to be paid, and it's a
struggle now because certain finances are being with hell and
(14:43):
are being threatened to be with hell. My health seems
to be getting ah more needful of attention. Can I
say it like that? My health it seemed to be
getting more needful of attention. I got up this morning,
(15:06):
got ready to go into the kitchen get me a
cup of coffee, and I was a little stiff. I said,
oh boy, And I wanted to say, oh, you're getting
old and think towards that, but I said, no, I'm
not gonna think like that. Great as he that's in me,
then he that's in the world. So I'm a vessel hallelujah.
(15:28):
And so I said, thank you God, thank you for
things being as well as they are. I still can walk,
I still can sing, even though it ain't the most
pleasant sound in the.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
World, but I still can't. And then it got your attention.
And see when you get his attention like that, he's
closer to you, like I am up to this, He's
closer to you.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And when you say thank you Lord, guess what he
hears it and he looks into your heart, and he said, wow,
she really means that. He really means that he has
a des Dore's a song. Say a closer walk with thee.
(16:21):
Oh Lord, hallelujah. Just took closer walk with thee. Graded
Jesus is my please. I tell y'all, I can't say.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Daily closer walk with thee. Let it be, dear Lord,
let it be.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
And as you walk with him, because you're singing glory
to God, he gets to look into your heart and
you say, well, I'm sixty nine now, I'm not twenty
five anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But I made it, Thank you Lord. M We started
off with some simple things. I was able to wake
up this morning and open my eyes. I live in
a trailer home. It ain't blowed away, thank you Lord.
It wasn't set on fire, Thank you Lord. Everybody in
(17:24):
the house is well, Thank you Lord. I talked to
my kids the other day, my sons yesterday and my
grandkids the other day. Ain't good. Help my brothers, Thank
you Lord. To go and get me a cup of coffee.
Then he gave me the money to buy, Thank you Lord,
(17:49):
and to go and see my son yesterday, our son yesterday.
I was able to drive a vehicle that he gave me.
Now that I owe very little one, Thank you Lord.
He supplied me the money to pay the bill. And
that's another that's a big thing. That was once a
time in my life when it would have been a
(18:11):
struggle for me to pay a bill, even when I
had it in my pocket. Thank you Lord. But that's
changed because his presence. Thank you Lord. See, I can
go on and on and on when I think of
God's goodness of things to give thanks.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
To, to think him about. I have much to think about.
I'm not the person I used to be. I don't
think like I used to think. I don't go to
places I used to go. Now am I completely perfect
in the eyes of man, not even in I God know?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But I'm perfect in Christ Jesus, What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I obey his word, And because I'm obeying word, I'm
walking not in my own understanding, but I'm walking in
the understanding of God that is given to me through
his son Jesus, to Christ. So he stands in my
stead and I live in him, and He lives through me.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I hope that's making sense. See all this is because
of praise.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But let me tell you about magnified once I have
given him thanks, and do give him thanks. Psalms thirty four,
two and three says this, my soul shall make her boast.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh, somebody heard that before. My soul shall make her boasts,
And the Lord the humble shall hear there and be
glad verse three. All magnifying the Lord with me, and
let us oh exalt his name together praise and thanksgiving again.
(20:01):
In order to magnify him, you got to give him thanks.
You got to give him thanks. In order to exalt
his name, you got to give him praise. So that
is giving of thanks, hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
And that is shouting his name again, hallelujah, telling of
his wondrous works, telling of his deeds, hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Go over to God, hallelujah. Look at Job thirty six.
Y'all know, y'all know that all job that job went through.
Job thirty six twenty four verse twenty four. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Remember that thou magnify his works. Hallelujah. Remember that Thou
magnify his works, which men behold.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
See.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
When you Christ is in you the hoope of glory.
You don't live for yourself. With you are a vessel
for God and your the transforming of your mind takes
place before men. They see your new way of doing,
the new way that the different way that you do things. Hallelujah.
(21:17):
And it magnifies the God in you through Christ Jesus.
It magnifies him as the hope that you've been looking for,
the glory that it has revealed. It magnified his works,
It magnified his character, his love for us in the earth.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Hallelujah, because it exalts his name. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And men get to see, men get to see the
works of God perform what in you and through you.
I hope y'all getting this this one little this one
little scripture talking about praising and then uh it talks.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
About uh uh.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Magnifiing with yo giving the facts. Now, this magnify is
also verb means to take action. It's to enlarge and
to enhance, to maximize, to increase, to expand, to amplify,
to intensify, to hyphen, to deathen, to deepen mm hmm,
(22:30):
to exaggerate, to overstate, to.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Over emphasize, to cover completely. So what are you saying
in pastor hooks? What are you're saying when the law
started dealing with me about the scripture.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
As I said, over two months ago, I started thinking
about it, and that if I was thinking on it
even at night, he showed me a big ship of
an umbrella.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
It started out.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You know, you have an umbrella like this, and you
start pushing a little switch up, and as you push
the switch up, it begins to spread. It begins to
spread until it covers you. So when the rain is falling,
you don't feel the rain.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Uh oh, y'all, hope, y'all, y'all get me now. So
whatever's on the outside don't affect you.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Remember you in his presence, Holley, and he promises you
while you're going through these trials fully of joy, For
in his presence is fullness of joy.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Y'all read your scriptures. Lujah. He promised you some joy.
If you ain't getting your joy and something right, something
is not happening, you're not taking full advantage of his presence.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
It's not just for scream in a shower and to
roll around on the ground on the speaking togs. He
promised you joy. Call in Lujah while you go through
not joy, but in the in the act of being
in a furnace of affliction. Don't you know the Hebrew
(24:19):
boys when they were in that furnace, they stayed in there.
They could have got out, they stayed in there.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
They said.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
The smoke didn't even you can't even smell it on them.
The fire didn't even touch it or consumer. And it
was never Conniz he look at it. It was never
Caniza that recognize. Ask yourself. It was him that recognized.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I see a fourth man in the fire with him,
and he looks like the son of God. Now how
did he know that? I remember, Paul, the silences they
were in the dungeons. They were sending praises to God. Hallelujah,
(25:10):
And the presidence of the Lord's in there with them
to change the uh uh uh. The shackles were loosed
off of them, the jailers uh changed. Hallelujah. When the
presence of the Lord comes into the place, things happen.
(25:34):
When you start giving them thanks, you get covered. I
seen that umbrella spiritually, and the more I gave him thinks,
the more I started thinking about what I was giving
them thanks for, and then them then my giving of
thanks became real. You know how you said, thank you
(25:54):
for give me a dollar.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
But when you see what that dollar meant to you,
all the things that it helped you to accomplish, your
thank your giving of thanks became more deeper, man became
more real. Why because you've seen how that dollar paid
so much of it affected your life so much. And
(26:18):
without that dollar, the thing that happened wouldn't have happened.
So it makes your giving of thanks even more sincere
is the word I'm looking for, Hello, somebody. So when
God sees that, and when you start going down, when
I think of the goodness of Jesus and all that
(26:41):
He's done for me, he said, and you count your
blessings one by one, name of one by one, Glory
to God, hallylujah. That sincerity of your giving of thanks
begins to be rich.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And because remember he's in the presence.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Now and he's looking at your heart and you see
the earnest of your spirit.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Now, Glory to God, hallelujah. And when he sees that,
his territory.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Begins to spread, hallelujah, shin dow hate, Glory to God,
my God from glory. Jabas prayer said that I'm going
to strengthen high my stakes and I'm gonna stretch my
tent and I'm gonna lift in my cards. Why enlarge
my territory. Hallelujah, Glory to God, hallelujah. See the hallelujah.
(27:32):
The places that you used to couldn't go because they
were all limits to you.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
God has made away shine dow that cat. Glory to God, hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
To go into all the world and make disciple of
the man he said, fear not. I am with you always,
even until the end of the earth, for the earth
is the Lord. Oh, don't get ahead of yourself. Hallelujah.
Let me see, I'm getting happy. I'm getting hid of myself,
but I'm getting ready to go there any right now.
(28:02):
Why this is one of the reasons why. Hallelujah. Salms
twenty four one and two. Hallelujah, Palms twenty four one
and two, Hallelujah, hallelujah. See God can do great and
mighty things when we obey him, praise him with a song.
(28:27):
I don't care if you can say or not Hallelujah.
I don't care if you don't know Christian songs. Start
listening to something and start mimicking Hallelujah, Glory to God.
And we start giving them thanks. Just start giving them thanks,
and watch God bring to your remember some things that
you have a reason to give him thanks for, and
(28:50):
that will increase. Just open your mouth and do it,
and watch God start showing you great and mighty things.
He gonna cover you even more those problems that you
had and you just couldn't solve them, My God, from glory. Hallelujah,
Watch God work Glory to God. He says, the earth
(29:12):
is the Lord and the fullness thereof the world, and
they that dwell therein Now what we thought to him,
that the men and the women of this world, rich
and influencial and powerful, men, men of authority, that they.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Were in controlled m.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
The earth is the Lord and the fullness the earl,
and they who is they?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Everyone that dwells in it. All souls belong to God,
but the soul that sentence shall surely God die. Every
soul that's on this planet Earth belongs to God, My God.
The bad, the good, the ugly, indifferent, all belong to God. Hallelujah.
(30:00):
For He has founded it up on the seas, and
established it up on the floods.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
God made this every man, woman, born, child, God created
when you were in your mother's wound, he knew you.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
John Saint John's Verse one, Chapter one, verse three says
this all fevers were made by Him. Without him, was
not anything that was made. God made everything. We're talking
about magnifying God. We're talking about praising God, hallelujah. Just
(30:45):
by our act of obedience and singing a song to
Him and giving a thanks, we magnify him.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
We bring him in closer. We'll invite him in excuse me,
we invite him to have a closer walk with thee. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
We published the name of God and his promises along
with his faithfulness to perform every one of them. Every
one of them he performs. Hallelujah, Not one left undone
faithful is our God. Hallelujah. God created the heavens and
(31:23):
the earth. He spoke, and it was his word, even
became flesh. And now, like David, we put our trust
and belief in God to do exactly what he said
he will do.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Hallelujah. Can you imagine, yes, just by opening your mouth
and singing to God, just by opening your mouth and
thanking Him for the things that he's done, He's gonna come.
You invite him in so he can magnify his presence
(32:05):
over us. Y'all saying this in the spirit Ram, you
invite him in until he can magnify his presence over us.
It's not his will that any should perish, but that
all should come to repement, that all encompassing God will
invite him in so he can magnify his presence over us. Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Loved to God, listen. David said this and Psalm sixty nine,
I read you palm verse thirty. But look at what
he said.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
In one two and three. Why Why did he praise him?
Why did he give him thanks? Why?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
David Wrotes said, excuse me. David said he was like
a mind, just like us, but he loved God. He said,
save me, Oh God, for the waters are come in.
Unto my soul, I stink in deep mirror where there
(33:21):
is no standing. I am coming too deep waters. Whether
the floods overflow me. I am weary of crying.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
My throat is dried, my eyes fell while I wait
for my God.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
David was in trouble. David, you can say, David, with
that is wit'sid. Like many of us, life has beat
you down there of this world. Even though the scriptures
talk to the about telling us not to be concerned
(34:05):
about them, they do bother us. They do concern us,
the cares of this world. What's going on in your
personal life? It does affect you, how you gonna make
it from day today does affect us. Your body become
(34:29):
more mature, does affect your thinking.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
And sometimes you get you become weary and you start
crying by yourself. All y'all human, I know you've done it.
You've cried by yourself, and you say, God, help me.
Nobody knows what I've been through.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Help me.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
You see, God, you know, help me. And God told David.
David said this, I know what I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna invite me and I'm praise him with a song.
I'm gonna sing to him inviting me, and I'm gonna
give him a concert. I ain't gonna worry about how
(35:18):
my voice sound, none of that. I'm gonna give him
a concert. I'm ana sing to him a song, and
then once he get in, I'm gonna start telling tell
him how I feel about it. I thank you. My
body may be racked with pain, but I thank you.
I'm still alive. I may owe some bills and that bill,
but Lord you sustain me anyway.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I may have been treated wrong by this person, that
person the other, but God, you have never failed me.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Hallelujah. I may have bad thoughts and my life is
not consistent enough Hallelujah for me, But yet you remain
faithful to me. Thank God, hallelujah.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
See David, like us, knew all he had to do
would be honest with God and obey seemed to him. Hallelujah,
and thank him for what has been done, and not
complain about what he is not done, but thank him
(36:31):
for what has been done. And God came in, and
with each giving of thanks he magnified himself over his son.
He brought his wings his hands over the Bible. Said
(36:54):
he that dwelleth in the secret place of most times,
shall abiden under the shadow of your own Lighty, I
will say of the Lord, he is my refuge, He
is my fortunes In him what I trust. Sing to
the Lord, these saints tell him of his goodness. Don't
(37:21):
complain about what you don't have or what you want.
Thank him for what he's allowed you to have and
what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Don't think of those things that are bad, that that
make you feel better, think of those things that are good,
and let the Lord cover you. Little Saul says, in
times like these, we need a savior. In times like these,
(37:54):
we need a friend. In times like the.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
We read our Bible in time like the when need
that anchor. Be very sure, be very sure your ankle hope,
(38:21):
your anchor hope angry mm hmm. The solid rock. That
rocket is.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Jeter mm hmmm. Here's my friend mm hmm. That rocket
jetter my savior mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
With he, be very sure, be very sure that your
ankle hopes m hm hm. That's your ankle holds.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Mhmm. Hold on to Jesus, that's your ankle holds angry.
And here that's all that ah, let's gray.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
M h.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Father.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
The simplicity of your instruction towards us in what to
do makes it easier than what we think it should be.
You put no criteria over how it should sound when
(39:50):
we sing. You just said singing Joe for noise.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Noise. You didn't say what we should give things, but
you said in all things give thanks. But this is
the will of God concerning us.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
You said in that we invite you into our circumstances,
our problems, I need, our concerns, and our troubles, and
with thanksgiving, with the giving of things over the small things.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Things being as well as they are, you are magnified.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
You are magnified, even as the umbrella is unfolded to
cover us from the rains, to shield us from the sun, hallelujah,
to hide us in your shadow. Lord, you have given
(40:58):
us mhm hallelujah. You have given us this joy to
have in you help us to receive it. In Jesus' name,
we pray man in a man. Now, those of you
(41:20):
who don't know Jesus and the partner of your sin,
I'm inviting you now to have a relationship with God
through Christ Jesus. The Bible simply says, if you confess
with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in
(41:41):
your heart that God raising from the dead, thus shall
be saved. For with the heart you believe unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. So literally,
if you believe that Jesus is the son of God,
(42:01):
if you believe that He is the Christ who.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Came down from heaven.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
And died for the sins of the world, your candidate
to be received as an heir of God and a.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Joint heir with Christ, to become a son of God.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
If you believe that, repeat after me, Father, thank you
for allowing me to come to your throne of grace.
Forgive me for my sins. Come into my heart and
(42:43):
be my Lord as well as savior. I believe that
Jesus died for my sins because I believe that he
is your son. I believe that the same spirit that
raised him up from the dead would also raise me
up from dead works. In three days he was raised
and the dead.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
I believe it. Oelujah the Father. I asked you, Lord.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
To pour your spirit into me so that I can
be empowered to be a witness of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
And I thank you, and I give you praise in
Jesus name. Amen and Amen. Now, if you've prayed that prayer.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
Believing that God is saving you, you are saved. You
are saved because of faith. It's by God's grace to
this God's favor to give you that.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
You are saved. Now it's time for you to be taught.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
Even Saul when he was knocked off his when he
fell off his beast on the Damascus road, had to
be taught the things of God. It's time for you
to be taught now. Now while you go through life
is still going to happen a call. You have the
right now to call on the name of Jesus and
(44:11):
ask God for help. But its essential and imperative that
you find a Bible based church, spirit led. A Bible
based church, spirit led, meaning that they read out of
the King, out of the Bible, the scriptures of the Bible.
(44:31):
I'm not talking about any other thing but the Bible,
King James version of the NIV version, but the Bible, hallelujah.
I'm not talking about the Koran and in the others.

read it, you need to study it. We can help
