- 00:03:47.006 --> 00:03:49.509
- And of course the Vietnamese prison guards couldn't
- 00:03:49.575 --> 00:03:51.377
- prison guards couldn't understand why every night
- 00:03:51.444 --> 00:03:52.378

- 00:03:52.445 --> 00:03:54.814
- they turned toward the garments that were hanging on nails,
- 00:03:54.881 --> 00:03:56.316
- that were hanging on nails, and only the prisoners knew
- 00:03:56.382 --> 00:03:58.551
- and only the prisoners knew there was a tiny red, white,
- 00:03:58.618 --> 00:04:00.720
- there was a tiny red, white, and blue flag that had been sewn
- 00:04:00.787 --> 00:04:03.723
- and blue flag that had been sewn in under what the eye could see.
- 00:04:03.790 --> 00:04:07.894
- in under what the eye could see. And one day there was one
- 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:09.629
- And one day there was one of the guards who examined
- 00:04:09.696 --> 00:04:11.297
- of the guards who examined the clothes and found that
- 00:04:11.364 --> 00:04:13.399

- and blue flag and when the found it,
- 00:04:17.303 --> 00:04:18.471
- and when the found it, the first thing they did
- 00:04:18.538 --> 00:04:19.305
- the first thing they did is they came in and they
- 00:04:19.372 --> 00:04:20.506
- is they came in and they ripped it to pieces,
- 00:04:20.573 --> 00:04:22.041

- 00:05:55.635 --> 00:05:58.604
- who come to church to worship, but I wanna tell you that you
- 00:05:58.671 --> 00:06:00.072
- but I wanna tell you that you don't just need to wear worship.
- 00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:03.409
- don't just need to wear worship. You need to be worship.
- 00:06:03.476 --> 00:06:06.245
- You need to be worship. It's not just something
- 00:06:06.312 --> 00:06:07.213
- It's not just something that I am to do.
- 00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:08.448
- that I am to do. It's what I'm supposed to be.
- 00:06:08.514 --> 00:06:10.583
- It's what I'm supposed to be. It's not what I come
- 00:06:10.650 --> 00:06:11.818
- It's not what I come on Sunday and do.
- 00:06:11.884 --> 00:06:13.186
- on Sunday and do. It's what I am.
- 00:06:13.252 --> 00:06:15.621
- It's what I am. I've got to do
- 00:06:15.688 --> 00:06:16.389
- I've got to do more than wear it.
- 00:06:16.456 --> 00:06:18.391
- more than wear it. I've got to be it.
- 00:06:18.458 --> 00:06:20.326
- I've got to be it. I've gotta really love Him.
- 00:06:20.393 --> 00:06:21.761
- I've gotta really love Him. I've gotta be in love with
- 00:06:21.828 --> 00:06:23.129
- I've gotta be in love with praise and worship and honoring
- 00:06:23.196 --> 00:06:25.264
- praise and worship and honoring and glorifying Jesus.
- 00:06:25.331 --> 00:06:28.000
- and glorifying Jesus. David was more than anybody
- 00:06:28.067 --> 00:06:30.837
- in the Scripture God's
- 00:06:30.937 --> 00:06:32.505
- in the Scripture God's song and dance man.
- 00:06:32.572 --> 00:06:34.407
- song and dance man. He was the man who wrote
- 00:06:34.474 --> 00:06:35.975
- He was the man who wrote the Psalms that this is the day
- 00:06:36.042 --> 00:06:38.778
- the Psalms that this is the day the Lord has made.
- 00:06:38.845 --> 00:06:40.680
- the Lord has made. We will rejoice
- 00:06:40.746 --> 00:06:42.014
- We will rejoice and be glad in it.
- 00:06:42.081 --> 00:06:43.549
- He and Moses were
- 00:06:43.649 --> 00:06:44.650
- He and Moses were songwriters and musicians,
- 00:06:44.717 --> 00:06:46.853
- songwriters and musicians, and they wrote
- 00:06:46.919 --> 00:06:47.854
- and they wrote the Book of Psalms,
- 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.323
- the Book of Psalms, and the Bible said that
- 00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:51.691
- and the Bible said that when David went down
- 00:06:51.757 --> 00:06:53.059
- when David went down to the battlefield one day
- 00:06:53.125 --> 00:06:54.627
- to the battlefield one day to take some cheese and bread
- 00:06:54.694 --> 00:06:56.262
- to take some cheese and bread to his brothers that he noticed
- 00:06:56.329 --> 00:06:59.165
- to his brothers that he noticed the army of Israel
- 00:06:59.232 --> 00:07:00.466
- the army of Israel in the trenches,
- 00:07:00.533 --> 00:07:02.068
- in the trenches, and he heard the giant,
- 00:07:02.134 --> 00:07:03.736
- and he heard the giant, and something in him began
- 00:07:03.803 --> 00:07:05.771
- and something in him began to get annoyed that the people
- 00:07:05.838 --> 00:07:07.607
- to get annoyed that the people of God were better at digging
- 00:07:07.673 --> 00:07:10.643
- of God were better at digging foxholes than fighting,
- 00:07:10.710 --> 00:07:13.513
- foxholes than fighting, and he knew they
- 00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:14.280
- and he knew they had lost their praise,
- 00:07:14.347 --> 00:07:15.548
- had lost their praise, but he had been out
- 00:07:15.615 --> 00:07:16.549
- but he had been out in the mountains praising
- 00:07:16.616 --> 00:07:18.117
- in the mountains praising and worshipping God singing.
- 00:07:18.184 --> 00:07:20.152
- and worshipping God singing. Do you know David
- 00:07:20.219 --> 00:07:21.587
- Do you know David took praise breaks?
- 00:07:21.654 --> 00:07:23.689
- took praise breaks? That whole phrase
- 00:07:23.756 --> 00:07:24.590
- That whole phrase really is David's.
- 00:07:24.657 --> 00:07:25.958
- really is David's. The Bible said he said
- 00:07:26.025 --> 00:07:27.393
- The Bible said he said seven times a day I will
- 00:07:27.460 --> 00:07:29.061
- seven times a day I will praise the Lord.
- 00:07:29.128 --> 00:07:29.996
- praise the Lord. That's a Bible verse.
- 00:07:30.062 --> 00:07:31.264
- That's a Bible verse. We take tea breaks
- 00:07:31.330 --> 00:07:32.732
- We take tea breaks and coffee breaks.
- 00:07:32.798 --> 00:07:34.000
- and coffee breaks. He took seven praise
- 00:07:34.066 --> 00:07:35.468
- He took seven praise breaks a day,
- 00:07:35.535 --> 00:07:36.502
- breaks a day, and he'd go along and every
- 00:07:36.569 --> 00:07:37.870
- and he'd go along and every few hours he'd stop everything
- 00:07:37.937 --> 00:07:39.305
- few hours he'd stop everything and dance and praise the Lord
- 00:07:39.372 --> 00:07:40.840
- and dance and praise the Lord and sing a song or turn on,
- 00:07:40.907 --> 00:07:42.575
- and sing a song or turn on, put on his garment of praise
- 00:07:42.642 --> 00:07:44.076
- put on his garment of praise and worship the Lord.
- 00:07:44.143 --> 00:07:46.579
- and worship the Lord. And here he is,
- 00:07:46.646 --> 00:07:47.947
- And here he is, and the Bible said that
- 00:07:48.014 --> 00:07:49.348
- and the Bible said that somebody came up to him
- 00:07:49.415 --> 00:07:50.850
- somebody came up to him and they said, "Hey.
- 00:07:50.917 --> 00:07:51.951
- and they said, "Hey. You know, if you're gonna
- 00:07:52.018 --> 00:07:53.085
- You know, if you're gonna fight that giant,
- 00:07:53.152 --> 00:07:54.153
- fight that giant, the king said you
- 00:07:54.220 --> 00:07:55.221
- the king said you get three things.
- 00:07:55.288 --> 00:07:56.355
- get three things. Number one, you get a free
- 00:07:56.422 --> 00:07:57.723
- Number one, you get a free house with no taxes.
- 00:07:57.790 --> 00:08:01.627
- house with no taxes. Number two, you get a part
- 00:08:01.694 --> 00:08:03.563
- Number two, you get a part of the king's wealth,
- 00:08:03.629 --> 00:08:05.097
- of the king's wealth, and number three,
- 00:08:05.164 --> 00:08:05.998
- and number three, you get to marry his daughter."
- 00:08:06.065 --> 00:08:09.235
- you get to marry his daughter." And David looked at the giant
- 00:08:09.302 --> 00:08:10.603
- And David looked at the giant and said, "He's ugly,"
- 00:08:10.670 --> 00:08:12.271
- and said, "He's ugly," and looked at his daughter
- 00:08:12.338 --> 00:08:13.739
- and looked at his daughter and said, "She's pretty,"
- 00:08:13.806 --> 00:08:14.974
- and said, "She's pretty," and he said, "You're gonna
- 00:08:15.041 --> 00:08:15.942
- and he said, "You're gonna die today.
- 00:08:16.008 --> 00:08:16.576
- die today. One of us is gonna
- 00:08:16.642 --> 00:08:17.410
- One of us is gonna leave this field."
- 00:08:17.476 --> 00:08:18.678
- leave this field." And he went out there,
- 00:08:18.744 --> 00:08:19.845
- And he went out there, and he got to thinking
- 00:08:19.912 --> 00:08:20.613
- and he got to thinking about no taxes, and he said,
- 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.081
- about no taxes, and he said, "Hallelujah!
- 00:08:22.148 --> 00:08:22.782
- "Hallelujah! This is worth fighting for,"
- 00:08:22.848 --> 00:08:24.350
- This is worth fighting for," and he went out there,
- 00:08:24.417 --> 00:08:25.351
- and he went out there, and he said, "You know,
- 00:08:25.418 --> 00:08:26.719
- and he said, "You know, getting the wealth
- 00:08:26.786 --> 00:08:27.920
- getting the wealth and being in the palace,"
- 00:08:27.987 --> 00:08:29.255
- and being in the palace," he was country before
- 00:08:29.322 --> 00:08:31.657
- he was country before country was cool.
- 00:08:31.724 --> 00:08:32.892
- country was cool. There was nothing about --
- 00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:34.126
- There was nothing about -- he was a country boy.
- 00:08:34.193 --> 00:08:35.661
- he was a country boy. He was more country
- 00:08:35.728 --> 00:08:37.096
- He was more country than corn bread.
- 00:08:37.163 --> 00:08:38.230
- than corn bread. This boy had never been anywhere
- 00:08:38.297 --> 00:08:41.267
- This boy had never been anywhere near a palace, and he thought
- 00:08:41.334 --> 00:08:42.668
- near a palace, and he thought if I'm gonna get to do it,
- 00:08:42.735 --> 00:08:43.769
- if I'm gonna get to do it, and the Bible said after
- 00:08:43.836 --> 00:08:44.971
- and the Bible said after he slew Goliath that Saul
- 00:08:45.037 --> 00:08:46.572
- he slew Goliath that Saul called him to the palace,
- 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:47.840
- called him to the palace, and he said, "I wanna introduce
- 00:08:47.907 --> 00:08:49.275
- and he said, "I wanna introduce you to my oldest daughter.
- 00:08:49.342 --> 00:08:52.178
- you to my oldest daughter. Here she is.
- 00:08:52.244 --> 00:08:53.145
- Here she is. Her name was Merab.
- 00:08:53.212 --> 00:08:55.348
- Her name was Merab. Merab.
- 00:08:55.414 --> 00:08:56.582
- Merab. And the Bible said that
- 00:08:56.649 --> 00:08:57.883
- And the Bible said that when he introduced her,
- 00:08:57.950 --> 00:08:59.685
- when he introduced her, and I could almost see
- 00:08:59.752 --> 00:09:00.620
- and I could almost see him in my mind.
- 00:09:00.686 --> 00:09:01.554
- him in my mind. He probably had on Wrangler
- 00:09:01.621 --> 00:09:03.723
- He probably had on Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots
- 00:09:03.789 --> 00:09:05.324
- jeans and cowboy boots and a tractor hat.
- 00:09:05.391 --> 00:09:07.560
- and a tractor hat. What do you call it?
- 00:09:07.627 --> 00:09:08.294
- What do you call it? John Deere hat and all of that,
- 00:09:08.361 --> 00:09:10.262
- John Deere hat and all of that, and he's looking at this
- 00:09:10.329 --> 00:09:12.365
- and he's looking at this beautiful, stunning girl,
- 00:09:12.431 --> 00:09:14.567
- beautiful, stunning girl, and he says, "How ya doing?"
- 00:09:14.634 --> 00:09:16.569
- and he says, "How ya doing?" And she takes one look at him,
- 00:09:16.636 --> 00:09:18.671
- And she takes one look at him, this is in your Bible.
- 00:09:18.738 --> 00:09:20.172
- this is in your Bible. Now, I'm paraphrasing
- 00:09:20.239 --> 00:09:21.507
- Now, I'm paraphrasing the John Deere part in there,
- 00:09:21.574 --> 00:09:22.942
- the John Deere part in there, but you know what I'm saying.
- 00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:25.911
- but you know what I'm saying. And most people read right
- 00:09:25.978 --> 00:09:27.613
- And most people read right over this and forget this.
- 00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:29.248
- over this and forget this. The Bible said that Merab looked
- 00:09:29.315 --> 00:09:31.183
- The Bible said that Merab looked at him, and she called her dad
- 00:09:31.250 --> 00:09:33.352
- at him, and she called her dad and said in so many words,
- 00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:34.520
- and said in so many words, "Dad, I've got a problem.
- 00:09:34.587 --> 00:09:36.322
- "Dad, I've got a problem. I don't want to marry
- 00:09:36.389 --> 00:09:37.556
- I don't want to marry this thing.
- 00:09:37.623 --> 00:09:38.491
- this thing. Why did you bring him?
- 00:09:38.557 --> 00:09:39.425
- Why did you bring him? Look at him?
- 00:09:39.492 --> 00:09:40.393
- Look at him? Look at him.
- 00:09:40.459 --> 00:09:41.460
- Look at him. Look at him."
- 00:09:41.527 --> 00:09:42.528
- Look at him." And the Scripture said
- 00:09:42.595 --> 00:09:44.497
- And the Scripture said that she told her father,
- 00:09:44.563 --> 00:09:46.198
- that she told her father, "I am in love with Adriel."
- 00:09:46.265 --> 00:09:49.669
- "I am in love with Adriel." That's some guy named Adriel.
- 00:09:49.735 --> 00:09:51.137
- That's some guy named Adriel. "I'm in love with Adriel.
- 00:09:51.203 --> 00:09:53.673
- "I'm in love with Adriel. I don't want this country boy."
- 00:09:53.739 --> 00:09:55.941
- I don't want this country boy." And all of a sudden,
- 00:09:56.008 --> 00:09:57.576
- And all of a sudden, the Bible said that
- 00:09:57.643 --> 00:09:59.245
- the Bible said that there was a crisis,
- 00:09:59.311 --> 00:10:00.680
- there was a crisis, but then it says
- 00:10:00.746 --> 00:10:01.947
- but then it says in 1 Samuel 18:20 that there
- 00:10:02.014 --> 00:10:06.886
- in 1 Samuel 18:20 that there was another girl named Michal,
- 00:10:06.952 --> 00:10:09.555
- was another girl named Michal, and she spoke up,
- 00:10:09.622 --> 00:10:10.790
- and she spoke up, and the Bible said
- 00:10:10.856 --> 00:10:11.624
- and the Bible said she loved David.
- 00:10:11.691 --> 00:10:14.293
- she loved David. And the Bible said in Verse 28
- 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.162
- And the Bible said in Verse 28 again, "She loved David."
- 00:10:16.228 --> 00:10:19.532
- again, "She loved David." Now, David could be
- 00:10:19.598 --> 00:10:21.200
- Now, David could be a type of praise,
- 00:10:21.267 --> 00:10:22.935
- a type of praise, and in other words,
- 00:10:23.002 --> 00:10:24.136
- and in other words, she was the king's daughter,
- 00:10:24.203 --> 00:10:26.338
- she was the king's daughter, and she loved praise,
- 00:10:26.405 --> 00:10:29.041
- and she loved praise, but there was another
- 00:10:29.108 --> 00:10:30.242
- but there was another king's daughter in the house
- 00:10:30.309 --> 00:10:32.311
- king's daughter in the house that didn't love praise,
- 00:10:32.378 --> 00:10:33.946
- that didn't love praise, and I wrote this
- 00:10:34.013 --> 00:10:34.914
- and I wrote this question many years ago,
- 00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:36.415
- question many years ago, and I wanna ask it to every
- 00:10:36.482 --> 00:10:37.750
- and I wanna ask it to every one of you listening to me
- 00:10:37.817 --> 00:10:39.218
- one of you listening to me at all of our campuses today.
- 00:10:39.285 --> 00:10:42.088
- at all of our campuses today. How can you be a king's kid
- 00:10:42.154 --> 00:10:46.192
- How can you be a king's kid and not be attracted to praise?
- 00:10:46.258 --> 00:10:50.629
- and not be attracted to praise? How can you have royal
- 00:10:50.696 --> 00:10:52.832
- How can you have royal blood in your veins
- 00:10:52.898 --> 00:10:55.101
- blood in your veins and not be attracted to praise?
- 00:10:55.167 --> 00:10:58.904
- and not be attracted to praise? I don't understand how born
- 00:10:58.971 --> 00:11:00.406
- again people can get saved
- 00:11:00.506 --> 00:11:03.109
- again people can get saved and never ever have
- 00:11:03.175 --> 00:11:04.944
- and never ever have a desire to praise the Lord.
- 00:11:05.010 --> 00:11:07.513
- a desire to praise the Lord. What water is to a fish,
- 00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:10.015
- What water is to a fish, what air is to a bird,
- 00:11:10.082 --> 00:11:12.485
- what air is to a bird, what air is to a human,
- 00:11:12.551 --> 00:11:16.288
- what air is to a human, praise is to a Christian,
- 00:11:16.355 --> 00:11:19.492
- praise is to a Christian, and just like a fish
- 00:11:19.558 --> 00:11:20.493
- and just like a fish won't make it long without
- 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.061
- water and a bird won't ever
- 00:11:22.161 --> 00:11:24.063
- water and a bird won't ever be much and go high without air,
- 00:11:24.130 --> 00:11:27.032
- be much and go high without air, and human won't live
- 00:11:27.099 --> 00:11:28.367
- and human won't live long without oxygen,
- 00:11:28.434 --> 00:11:30.402
- long without oxygen, a Christian will not make
- 00:11:30.469 --> 00:11:32.638
- a Christian will not make it long without
- 00:11:32.705 --> 00:11:33.939
- it long without praise and worship
- 00:11:34.006 --> 00:11:36.041
- praise and worship and if you're not used to it,
- 00:11:36.108 --> 00:11:37.743
- and if you're not used to it, it's not a Baptist thing.
- 00:11:37.810 --> 00:11:39.512
- it's not a Baptist thing. It's not a Presbyterian thing.
- 00:11:39.578 --> 00:11:42.214
- It's not a Presbyterian thing. Praise is not
- 00:11:42.281 --> 00:11:43.149
- Praise is not a Pentecostal thing.
- 00:11:43.215 --> 00:11:44.884
- a Pentecostal thing. It is a Bible thing,
- 00:11:44.950 --> 00:11:46.952
- It is a Bible thing, and you are commanded
- 00:11:47.019 --> 00:11:48.554
- and you are commanded if you have breath.
- 00:11:48.621 --> 00:11:50.322
- if you have breath. Praise the Lord.
- 00:11:50.389 --> 00:11:52.925
- Praise the Lord. Don't care how cool
- 00:11:52.992 --> 00:11:54.160
- Don't care how cool and smooth you are.
- 00:11:54.226 --> 00:11:55.995
- and smooth you are. Praise the Lord.
- 00:11:56.061 --> 00:11:58.030
- Praise the Lord. If you're a king's kid,
- 00:11:58.097 --> 00:12:00.366
- If you're a king's kid, praise the Lord.
- 00:12:00.432 --> 00:12:02.935
- praise the Lord. Any king's kids listening to me?
- 00:12:03.002 --> 00:12:05.938
- Any king's kids listening to me? I give you this chance.
- 00:12:06.005 --> 00:12:07.873
- I give you this chance. Praise the Lord.
- 00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:09.041
- There was a day when
- 00:12:14.847 --> 00:12:16.115
- There was a day when Michal loved David.
- 00:12:16.182 --> 00:12:18.250
- Michal loved David. The Bible said her father
- 00:12:18.317 --> 00:12:19.919
- The Bible said her father Saul despised David.
- 00:12:19.985 --> 00:12:23.689
- Saul despised David. Saul is a type of the devil,
- 00:12:23.756 --> 00:12:25.324
- Saul is a type of the devil, and the devil despises praise
- 00:12:25.391 --> 00:12:28.561
- and the devil despises praise 'cause he used to be
- 00:12:28.627 --> 00:12:29.895
- 'cause he used to be heaven's praise leader,
- 00:12:29.962 --> 00:12:31.664
- heaven's praise leader, and when you praise God,
- 00:12:31.730 --> 00:12:33.432
- and when you praise God, you take his place.
- 00:12:33.499 --> 00:12:37.436
- you take his place. And the Bible said
- 00:12:37.503 --> 00:12:39.004
- And the Bible said in 1 Samuel 19 that Saul
- 00:12:39.071 --> 00:12:42.341
- in 1 Samuel 19 that Saul hated David so much that
- 00:12:42.408 --> 00:12:44.944
- hated David so much that in 1 Samuel 19 he sent
- 00:12:45.010 --> 00:12:48.214
- in 1 Samuel 19 he sent assassins to his house to kill
- 00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:50.449
- assassins to his house to kill him while he was sleeping,
- 00:12:50.516 --> 00:12:52.751
- him while he was sleeping, and Michal woke up and something
- 00:12:52.818 --> 00:12:55.521
- and Michal woke up and something in her intuition said
- 00:12:55.588 --> 00:12:57.523
- in her intuition said something's not right,
- 00:12:57.590 --> 00:12:58.691
- something's not right, and she heard the assassins
- 00:12:58.757 --> 00:12:59.859
- and she heard the assassins knocking on the door,
- 00:12:59.925 --> 00:13:01.293
- knocking on the door, and she ran and opened
- 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:02.895
- and she ran and opened the window and woke praise up
- 00:13:02.962 --> 00:13:05.564
- the window and woke praise up and said, "You've got to go
- 00:13:05.631 --> 00:13:06.899
- and said, "You've got to go out this window
- 00:13:06.966 --> 00:13:07.766
- out this window and escape lest you die."
- 00:13:07.833 --> 00:13:10.870
- and escape lest you die." You know what she was doing?
- 00:13:10.936 --> 00:13:12.137
- You know what she was doing? She said, "You've gotta learn
- 00:13:12.204 --> 00:13:14.607
- She said, "You've gotta learn how when you get in dark times
- 00:13:14.673 --> 00:13:17.142
- how when you get in dark times and when trouble's at the door,
- 00:13:17.209 --> 00:13:18.844
- and when trouble's at the door, you've gotta learn how to open
- 00:13:18.911 --> 00:13:20.179
- you've gotta learn how to open the window and let praise out."
- 00:13:20.246 --> 00:13:23.215
- the window and let praise out." You've gotta let praise
- 00:13:23.282 --> 00:13:24.783
- You've gotta let praise live to see another day.
- 00:13:24.850 --> 00:13:27.653
- live to see another day. That's what you
- 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:28.487
- That's what you do when it's dark.
- 00:13:28.554 --> 00:13:30.122
- do when it's dark. That's what you do when real
- 00:13:30.189 --> 00:13:31.724
- That's what you do when real trouble comes to your life.
- 00:13:31.790 --> 00:13:33.392
- trouble comes to your life. You don't just sit there
- 00:13:33.459 --> 00:13:34.760
- You don't just sit there and let your praise die,
- 00:13:34.827 --> 00:13:36.629
- and let your praise die, but you open up the window
- 00:13:36.695 --> 00:13:38.631
- but you open up the window and let praise out
- 00:13:38.697 --> 00:13:39.932
- and let praise out and know that weeping may
- 00:13:39.999 --> 00:13:42.801
- and know that weeping may endure for the night,
- 00:13:42.868 --> 00:13:44.203
- endure for the night, but praise is gonna
- 00:13:44.270 --> 00:13:45.337
- but praise is gonna see another day,
- 00:13:45.404 --> 00:13:46.705
- see another day, and I'm gonna send this praise
- 00:13:46.772 --> 00:13:49.341
- and I'm gonna send this praise on out in this dark hour.
- 00:13:49.408 --> 00:13:52.578
- on out in this dark hour. Now, I want you to understand
- 00:13:52.645 --> 00:13:54.146
- Now, I want you to understand it was Michal who enjoyed
- 00:13:54.213 --> 00:13:56.749
- it was Michal who enjoyed and encouraged in the darkest
- 00:13:56.815 --> 00:13:58.651
- and encouraged in the darkest time of their life this man
- 00:13:58.717 --> 00:14:00.586
- time of their life this man to praise the Lord,
- 00:14:00.653 --> 00:14:02.554
- to praise the Lord, but if you fast forward 20
- 00:14:02.621 --> 00:14:04.623
- but if you fast forward 20 and a half years later
- 00:14:04.690 --> 00:14:07.993
- and a half years later the Bible said that
- 00:14:08.060 --> 00:14:09.161
- the Bible said that a lot of things had changed.
- 00:14:09.228 --> 00:14:12.264
- a lot of things had changed. David was now King of Israel.
- 00:14:12.331 --> 00:14:16.936
- David was now King of Israel. He was coming back to Jerusalem
- 00:14:17.002 --> 00:14:18.604
- He was coming back to Jerusalem with the Ark of the Covenant.
- 00:14:18.671 --> 00:14:20.806
- with the Ark of the Covenant. He had singers and musicians
- 00:14:20.873 --> 00:14:22.341
- He had singers and musicians and every six paces
- 00:14:22.408 --> 00:14:24.643
- and every six paces they would stop,
- 00:14:24.710 --> 00:14:25.678
- they would stop, and he would offer sacrifices,
- 00:14:25.744 --> 00:14:27.579
- and he would offer sacrifices, and the Bible said he would
- 00:14:27.646 --> 00:14:29.481
- and the Bible said he would dance before the Lord with
- 00:14:29.548 --> 00:14:32.151
- dance before the Lord with all of his might and strength.
- 00:14:32.217 --> 00:14:36.388
- all of his might and strength. All of his might,
- 00:14:36.455 --> 00:14:37.556
- All of his might, all of his strength.
- 00:14:37.623 --> 00:14:39.325
- all of his strength. This man was a warrior
- 00:14:39.391 --> 00:14:40.759
- This man was a warrior and a killer,
- 00:14:40.826 --> 00:14:41.894
- and a killer, but this big old man would
- 00:14:41.961 --> 00:14:43.929
- but this big old man would begin to praise God and dance
- 00:14:43.996 --> 00:14:46.265
- begin to praise God and dance so wildly that he did it,
- 00:14:46.332 --> 00:14:49.101
- so wildly that he did it, one translation said,
- 00:14:49.168 --> 00:14:50.536
- one translation said, with every fiber and muscle
- 00:14:50.602 --> 00:14:52.972
- with every fiber and muscle in his body moving praising,
- 00:14:53.038 --> 00:14:56.742
- in his body moving praising, dancing, shouting, jumping,
- 00:14:56.809 --> 00:14:59.845
- dancing, shouting, jumping, leaping, and his wife now
- 00:14:59.912 --> 00:15:02.848
- leaping, and his wife now 20 and a half years later
- 00:15:02.915 --> 00:15:05.417
- 20 and a half years later looked out the window,
- 00:15:05.484 --> 00:15:06.919
- looked out the window, the same window she had opened,
- 00:15:06.986 --> 00:15:08.887
- the same window she had opened, maybe, and let him escape
- 00:15:08.954 --> 00:15:11.557
- maybe, and let him escape and kept praise alive.
- 00:15:11.623 --> 00:15:13.392
- and kept praise alive. Now, life has done
- 00:15:13.459 --> 00:15:14.893
- Now, life has done something to her.
- 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:16.462
- something to her. Problems have done
- 00:15:16.528 --> 00:15:17.496
- Problems have done something to her.
- 00:15:17.563 --> 00:15:18.664
- something to her. A lot can happen in 20
- 00:15:18.731 --> 00:15:20.099
- A lot can happen in 20 and a half years.
- 00:15:20.165 --> 00:15:21.533
- and a half years. You can start out on fire.
- 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.302
- You can start out on fire. You can start out in love with
- 00:15:23.369 --> 00:15:24.937
- You can start out in love with praise and church and God
- 00:15:25.004 --> 00:15:27.006
- praise and church and God and the Bible and what
- 00:15:27.072 --> 00:15:28.407
- and the Bible and what the Lord means to you,
- 00:15:28.474 --> 00:15:30.175
- the Lord means to you, but a lot of trials
- 00:15:30.242 --> 00:15:31.243
- but a lot of trials can come in 7.478 days.
- 00:15:31.310 --> 00:15:35.848
- can come in 7.478 days. A lot of setbacks,
- 00:15:35.914 --> 00:15:37.416
- A lot of setbacks, a lot of deaths,
- 00:15:37.483 --> 00:15:38.584
- a lot of deaths, a lot of divorces,
- 00:15:38.650 --> 00:15:39.918
- a lot of divorces, a lot of illnesses,
- 00:15:39.985 --> 00:15:41.520
- a lot of illnesses, and there came a day
- 00:15:41.587 --> 00:15:42.888
- and there came a day as he was bringing it back
- 00:15:42.955 --> 00:15:44.523
- as he was bringing it back that the Bible said she
- 00:15:44.590 --> 00:15:45.691
- that the Bible said she looked out her window,
- 00:15:45.758 --> 00:15:47.092
- looked out her window, and she despised him
- 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.894
- and she despised him for praising the Lord.
- 00:15:48.961 --> 00:15:51.497
- for praising the Lord. Maybe she said to herself
- 00:15:51.563 --> 00:15:53.399
- Maybe she said to herself I don't need to be in love
- 00:15:53.465 --> 00:15:54.566
- I don't need to be in love with praise like I used to be.
- 00:15:54.633 --> 00:15:56.835
- with praise like I used to be. I don't need to thank God like
- 00:15:56.902 --> 00:15:58.570
- I don't need to thank God like I used to be when I first
- 00:15:58.637 --> 00:16:00.172
- I used to be when I first fell in love with him.
- 00:16:00.239 --> 00:16:01.473
- fell in love with him. Something happened to her,
- 00:16:01.540 --> 00:16:03.342
- Something happened to her, but I've got a word
- 00:16:03.409 --> 00:16:04.543
- but I've got a word for you today.
- 00:16:04.610 --> 00:16:05.778
- for you today. If He is the same yesterday
- 00:16:05.844 --> 00:16:09.748
- If He is the same yesterday and if He is the same tomorrow,
- 00:16:09.815 --> 00:16:12.985
- and if He is the same tomorrow, He is the same today.
- 00:16:13.052 --> 00:16:15.854
- He is the same today. Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
- 00:16:15.921 --> 00:16:18.924
- Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
- 00:16:18.991 --> 00:16:22.161
- today, and forever. And David, when she said,
- 00:16:22.227 --> 00:16:24.229
- And David, when she said, "You embarrass me.
- 00:16:24.296 --> 00:16:25.964
- "You embarrass me. You're acting crazy.
- 00:16:26.031 --> 00:16:28.100
- You're acting crazy. You shouldn't be doing this,"
- 00:16:28.167 --> 00:16:29.835
- You shouldn't be doing this," he looked up at her,
- 00:16:29.902 --> 00:16:31.804
- he looked up at her, and he said, "I want you
- 00:16:31.870 --> 00:16:33.372
- and he said, "I want you to understand something.
- 00:16:33.439 --> 00:16:35.340
- to understand something. Before your daddy ever put
- 00:16:35.407 --> 00:16:36.742
- Before your daddy ever put me in the palace,
- 00:16:36.809 --> 00:16:38.343
- me in the palace, before your daddy
- 00:16:38.410 --> 00:16:39.611
- before your daddy knew who I was,
- 00:16:39.678 --> 00:16:40.879
- knew who I was, God knew who I was.
- 00:16:40.946 --> 00:16:42.581
- God knew who I was. Before the army of Israel
- 00:16:42.648 --> 00:16:44.316
- Before the army of Israel ever knew who I was,
- 00:16:44.383 --> 00:16:46.185
- ever knew who I was, God knew who I was.
- 00:16:46.251 --> 00:16:48.253
- God knew who I was. Before Samuel the prophet ever
- 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.656
- Before Samuel the prophet ever poured oil on me and before
- 00:16:50.722 --> 00:16:52.624
- poured oil on me and before my own father knew who I was,
- 00:16:52.691 --> 00:16:55.094
- my own father knew who I was, he didn't even ask me to stand
- 00:16:55.160 --> 00:16:56.562
- he didn't even ask me to stand in the line because he didn't
- 00:16:56.628 --> 00:16:58.063
- in the line because he didn't think I was kingly material,
- 00:16:58.130 --> 00:17:00.532
- think I was kingly material, and he said bring all
- 00:17:00.599 --> 00:17:02.034
- and he said bring all the sons of Jesse,
- 00:17:02.101 --> 00:17:03.135
- the sons of Jesse, but he didn't call
- 00:17:03.202 --> 00:17:04.169
- but he didn't call for David 'cause he knew
- 00:17:04.236 --> 00:17:05.604
- for David 'cause he knew that boy's a loser,
- 00:17:05.671 --> 00:17:06.872
- that boy's a loser, but he said what my daddy,
- 00:17:06.939 --> 00:17:09.041
- but he said what my daddy, earthly daddy didn't know
- 00:17:09.108 --> 00:17:10.809
- earthly daddy didn't know my Heavenly Father knew,"
- 00:17:10.876 --> 00:17:12.845
- my Heavenly Father knew," and he said, "If you think
- 00:17:12.911 --> 00:17:14.179
- and he said, "If you think I'm not gonna praise Him now."
- 00:17:14.246 --> 00:17:16.281
- I'm not gonna praise Him now." See, David, 20 and a half years
- 00:17:16.348 --> 00:17:18.517
- See, David, 20 and a half years later was still a praiser.
- 00:17:18.584 --> 00:17:21.487
- later was still a praiser. I don't know about you.
- 00:17:21.553 --> 00:17:22.888
- I don't know about you. Some of you have been
- 00:17:22.955 --> 00:17:23.755
- Some of you have been praising the Lord a while,
- 00:17:23.822 --> 00:17:25.090
- praising the Lord a while, but if you don't have as much
- 00:17:25.157 --> 00:17:26.658
- but if you don't have as much as you had when you started,
- 00:17:26.725 --> 00:17:28.560
- as you had when you started, it's time to go back
- 00:17:28.627 --> 00:17:29.761
- it's time to go back and get it and begin
- 00:17:29.828 --> 00:17:31.363
- and get it and begin to praise the Lord again.
- 00:17:31.430 --> 00:17:33.332
- to praise the Lord again. We can't go out with a whimper.
- 00:17:33.398 --> 00:17:35.267
- We can't go out with a whimper. We've gotta go up with a shout.
- 00:17:35.334 --> 00:17:37.402
- Don't let years of life divorce
- 00:17:41.373 --> 00:17:44.309
- Don't let years of life divorce you from what you once loved.
- 00:17:44.376 --> 00:17:47.713
- you from what you once loved. The Bible said that when
- 00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:49.248
- The Bible said that when she cursed him for praising
- 00:17:49.314 --> 00:17:51.450
- she cursed him for praising she became barren and never
- 00:17:51.517 --> 00:17:53.685
- she became barren and never produced children again.
- 00:17:53.752 --> 00:17:57.422
- produced children again. You wanna become barren?
- 00:17:57.489 --> 00:17:59.391
- You wanna become barren? You wanna stop seeing
- 00:17:59.458 --> 00:18:00.325
- You wanna stop seeing the fruitfulness of God?
- 00:18:00.392 --> 00:18:02.194
- the fruitfulness of God? Then you stop worshipping.
- 00:18:02.261 --> 00:18:04.196
- Then you stop worshipping. You stop praising.
- 00:18:04.263 --> 00:18:06.598
- You stop praising. There's something about praise
- 00:18:06.665 --> 00:18:08.700
- There's something about praise that is so powerful when
- 00:18:08.767 --> 00:18:11.703
- that is so powerful when we understand it and we fall
- 00:18:11.770 --> 00:18:13.438
- we understand it and we fall in love with it.
- 00:18:13.505 --> 00:18:15.207
- in love with it. It just takes one generation,
- 00:18:15.274 --> 00:18:17.709
- It just takes one generation, one generation to lose
- 00:18:17.776 --> 00:18:19.278
- one generation to lose praise in a church.
- 00:18:19.344 --> 00:18:21.480
- praise in a church. That's why I defend it.
- 00:18:21.547 --> 00:18:22.814
- That's why I defend it. That's why I constantly rehash
- 00:18:22.881 --> 00:18:24.883
- That's why I constantly rehash and come back with messages
- 00:18:24.950 --> 00:18:27.052
- and come back with messages on praise because the Bible said
- 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.588
- on praise because the Bible said that we are in Psalms 145:4,
- 00:18:29.655 --> 00:18:33.125
- that we are in Psalms 145:4, "One generation shall
- 00:18:33.192 --> 00:18:34.760
- "One generation shall praise Him to another,
- 00:18:34.826 --> 00:18:38.730
- praise Him to another, and they shall declare
- 00:18:38.797 --> 00:18:39.831
- and they shall declare His mighty works."
- 00:18:39.898 --> 00:18:41.099
- His mighty works." One generation is supposed
- 00:18:41.166 --> 00:18:43.168
- One generation is supposed to praise and when one
- 00:18:43.235 --> 00:18:45.103
- to praise and when one generation is kind
- 00:18:45.170 --> 00:18:46.171
- generation is kind of fading out,
- 00:18:46.238 --> 00:18:47.406
- of fading out, they're supposed to praise
- 00:18:47.472 --> 00:18:48.640
- they're supposed to praise God so much that it's passed
- 00:18:48.707 --> 00:18:50.542
- God so much that it's passed on to the next and passed on.
- 00:18:50.609 --> 00:18:52.578
- on to the next and passed on. It's not supposed
- 00:18:52.644 --> 00:18:53.278
- It's not supposed to be diminished.
- 00:18:53.345 --> 00:18:54.346
- to be diminished. It's not supposed
- 00:18:54.413 --> 00:18:55.280
- It's not supposed to get quieter.
- 00:18:55.347 --> 00:18:56.248
- to get quieter. It's not supposed to get
- 00:18:56.315 --> 00:18:57.482
- It's not supposed to get more distant and distant
- 00:18:57.549 --> 00:18:59.218
- more distant and distant and distant from God,
- 00:18:59.284 --> 00:19:01.019
- and distant from God, and if we don't way it
- 00:19:01.086 --> 00:19:02.454
- and if we don't way it and if we're not intentional
- 00:19:02.521 --> 00:19:03.889
- and if we're not intentional about our praise,
- 00:19:03.956 --> 00:19:05.757
- about our praise, we'll lose a whole generation,
- 00:19:05.824 --> 00:19:07.926
- we'll lose a whole generation, and all it takes is one
- 00:19:07.993 --> 00:19:08.961
- and all it takes is one generation to drop the baton.
- 00:19:09.027 --> 00:19:12.431
- generation to drop the baton. May we never say we don't need
- 00:19:12.497 --> 00:19:13.832
- May we never say we don't need that anymore in the church.
- 00:19:13.899 --> 00:19:17.269
- that anymore in the church. As long as I'm pastoring,
- 00:19:17.336 --> 00:19:18.537
- As long as I'm pastoring, I will be a long time,
- 00:19:18.604 --> 00:19:21.974
- I will be a long time, and as long as I'm pastor
- 00:19:22.040 --> 00:19:23.709
- and as long as I'm pastor this is going
- 00:19:23.775 --> 00:19:24.409
- this is going to be a praising church,
- 00:19:24.476 --> 00:19:26.511
- to be a praising church, and it's gonna be that way
- 00:19:26.578 --> 00:19:27.879
- and it's gonna be that way at all our campuses
- 00:19:27.946 --> 00:19:28.981
- at all our campuses and if you're not
- 00:19:29.047 --> 00:19:29.648
- and if you're not comfortable with it,
- 00:19:29.715 --> 00:19:30.782
- comfortable with it, get comfortable with
- 00:19:30.849 --> 00:19:31.416
- get comfortable with it 'cause we're gonna --
- 00:19:31.483 --> 00:19:32.684
- it 'cause we're gonna -- do you know there's only
- 00:19:32.751 --> 00:19:33.552
- do you know there's only 30 minutes of silence in heaven?
- 00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:35.587
- 30 minutes of silence in heaven? God's gonna say, "All right.
- 00:19:35.654 --> 00:19:37.122
- God's gonna say, "All right. Cut it out.
- 00:19:37.189 --> 00:19:37.956
- Cut it out. Shh!"
- 00:19:38.023 --> 00:19:38.957
- Shh!" and all of heaven will go quiet.
- 00:19:39.024 --> 00:19:40.092
- and all of heaven will go quiet. So, start the clock, angel.
- 00:19:40.158 --> 00:19:42.894
- So, start the clock, angel. This is for all those little,
- 00:19:42.961 --> 00:19:44.029
- This is for all those little, quiet, mousy Christians.
- 00:19:44.096 --> 00:19:47.332
- quiet, mousy Christians. And He's gonna give you
- 00:19:47.399 --> 00:19:48.000
- And He's gonna give you 30 minutes out of all eternity,
- 00:19:48.066 --> 00:19:49.668
- 30 minutes out of all eternity, and this is in your Bible,
- 00:19:49.735 --> 00:19:51.670
- and this is in your Bible, and at the end of 30 minutes,
- 00:19:51.737 --> 00:19:53.038
- and at the end of 30 minutes, He's gonna hit it,
- 00:19:53.105 --> 00:19:53.939
- He's gonna hit it, and He's gonna say,
- 00:19:54.006 --> 00:19:54.506
- and He's gonna say, "All right.
- 00:19:54.573 --> 00:19:55.474
- "All right. Let it rip,"
- 00:19:55.540 --> 00:19:56.475
- Let it rip," and we're gonna go back
- 00:19:56.541 --> 00:19:57.309
- and we're gonna go back to praising God throughout
- 00:19:57.376 --> 00:19:58.910
- to praising God throughout all eternity.
- 00:19:58.977 --> 00:19:59.911
- I close with this,
- 00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:08.987
- I close with this, but in first Samuel 22
- 00:20:09.054 --> 00:20:14.026
- but in first Samuel 22 there's an amazing story.
- 00:20:14.092 --> 00:20:16.995
- there's an amazing story. The Bible said that
- 00:20:17.062 --> 00:20:18.230
- The Bible said that there was an uprising,
- 00:20:18.297 --> 00:20:20.666
- there was an uprising, and Saul was trying
- 00:20:20.732 --> 00:20:21.600
- and Saul was trying to kill David,
- 00:20:21.667 --> 00:20:23.935
- to kill David, and there were 86 priests
- 00:20:24.002 --> 00:20:26.338
- and there were 86 priests that assisted David that were
- 00:20:26.405 --> 00:20:28.307
- that assisted David that were slaughtered and only one them --
- 00:20:28.373 --> 00:20:30.409
- slaughtered and only one them -- there were 86,
- 00:20:30.475 --> 00:20:31.243
- there were 86, and 85 of them were slaughtered,
- 00:20:31.310 --> 00:20:32.944
- and 85 of them were slaughtered, and only one of them escaped
- 00:20:33.011 --> 00:20:34.379
- and only one of them escaped and when he escaped
- 00:20:34.446 --> 00:20:35.547
- and when he escaped he came to David,
- 00:20:35.614 --> 00:20:36.648
- he came to David, and the Bible said he had his
- 00:20:36.715 --> 00:20:37.883
- and the Bible said he had his ephod or his praise
- 00:20:37.949 --> 00:20:39.117
- ephod or his praise garment in his hand.
- 00:20:39.184 --> 00:20:41.286
- There's something wrong with
- 00:20:45.190 --> 00:20:46.058
- There's something wrong with that statement because worship,
- 00:20:46.124 --> 00:20:51.930
- that statement because worship, and an ephod,
- 00:20:51.997 --> 00:20:54.733
- and an ephod, that's not how you wear it;
- 00:20:54.800 --> 00:20:55.901
- that's not how you wear it; in your hand.
- 00:20:55.967 --> 00:20:57.202
- in your hand. It's supposed to be on you.
- 00:20:57.269 --> 00:21:01.907
- It's supposed to be on you. And the Bible said that
- 00:21:01.973 --> 00:21:05.844
- And the Bible said that he took the tunic in his hand.
- 00:21:05.911 --> 00:21:08.013
- he took the tunic in his hand. He carried it his hand but
- 00:21:08.080 --> 00:21:10.015
- He carried it his hand but because there's a difference
- 00:21:10.082 --> 00:21:11.383
- because there's a difference between worshipping
- 00:21:11.450 --> 00:21:12.617
- between worshipping and being a worshipper,
- 00:21:12.684 --> 00:21:16.388
- and being a worshipper, sooner or later you're gonna
- 00:21:16.455 --> 00:21:17.589
- sooner or later you're gonna find out through the trials
- 00:21:17.656 --> 00:21:19.091
- find out through the trials of life do you have this thing
- 00:21:19.157 --> 00:21:22.728
- of life do you have this thing called faith and praise
- 00:21:22.794 --> 00:21:25.564
- called faith and praise in your hand or in your heart.
- 00:21:25.630 --> 00:21:29.134
- in your hand or in your heart. Because when trouble comes,
- 00:21:29.201 --> 00:21:30.836
- Because when trouble comes, when problems come,
- 00:21:30.902 --> 00:21:32.070
- when problems come, when Christ has come,
- 00:21:32.137 --> 00:21:35.774
- when Christ has come, it's not enough
- 00:21:35.841 --> 00:21:36.775
- it's not enough to I praise in church,
- 00:21:36.842 --> 00:21:39.511
- to I praise in church, it's like a robe in my hand.
- 00:21:39.578 --> 00:21:41.847
