00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,680
You're very welcome to today's 
Triumph Church podcast. 

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,280
We pray that you enjoy the 
message. 

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:16,040
Thank. 
You. 

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,600
Amen. 
It's good to be in the house. 

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,760
You can keep that going for just
a second, just a second before 

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,240
we move on. 
It's good to be with you this 

7
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:26,920
morning. 
I believe his presence is here, 

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,720
and that's not a feeling, that's
a knowing. 

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,920
The Bible says that when two or 
more in the midst there I am, 

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,840
there's more than two people 
here, Amen. 

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,000
And I thank God when I can feel 
his presence and I do and I love

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
his presence, but I've learned 
and what I believe the Lord 

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,800
wants us to learn, that is he. 
He is there even when you don't 

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,240
feel him because God is not a 
feeling. 

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,800
He's a God. 
And thank God for his presence, 

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,640
right? 
Anyone in services like this, or

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,080
maybe you've been in a service 
and you've sensed His presence 

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,160
and you realize there's 
something there. 

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,000
You know, I remember when I was 
a teenager, I went to a service 

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,160
for the first time. 
I'm sorry, I'm a little weepy, 

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,480
whatever, but I remember, you 
know, I grew up in church my 

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,040
whole life. 
I'm not saying that to brag. 

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,200
I just had that, you know, 
fortunate ability to grow up in 

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,760
church, right? 
But I had to find out if God was

25
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,720
real for me. 
I can't just live off my mama's 

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,800
faith, can't just live off my 
dad's faith. 

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,680
I have to experience God for 
myself, right? 

28
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:35,640
Because one day I'm going to 
move out and I'm not going to 

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,920
live in my parents home anymore.
I'm not going to have all the 

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,200
luxuries. 
And I have to know God, are you?

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,960
Real. 
And I don't believe God is 

32
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:47,040
offended when we ask him that 
question. 

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,760
I think everything should be 
questioned. 

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,680
I don't mean we should question 
the Bible, but you know, but 

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,280
he's such a good God. 
I think, I think we can come to 

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,600
him and say, God, if you're 
real, show me. 

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,240
I'm struggling. 
I don't know if you're real. 

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,920
I've heard you are, but I don't 
know. 

39
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200
And it doesn't offend him 
because the Bible says if you. 

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:10,360
Seek him, you will find him. 
He can find a drug addict, 

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,280
someone who's been. 
Lost all their life. 

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,520
And they're standing before a 
bridge about to take their life 

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,960
and they say, Lord, if you're 
real, give me a sign. 

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,000
I believe the Lord could speak 
to that. 

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,480
I don't believe the Lord's 
offended by that. 

46
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:25,640
The Lord is not saying you got 
to come to church. 

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,240
You got to get cleaned up. 
You got to put a suit and tie on

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,720
it. 
No, no, he, he's near to the 

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,280
broken hearted. 
I remember going to the service 

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,120
and I'm man, I experienced the 
presence of God like I've never 

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,360
experienced. 
You know, I don't want goofy. 

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,480
Sometimes we've made the Holy 
Spirit goofy and weird. 

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,480
He's not weird. 
People make him weird. 

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,720
I want genuine. 
How about you? 

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,920
I want genuine. 
I want the Jesus the Bible talks

56
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,000
about. 
I want to walk with the Jesus 

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,960
that performed miracles and 
signs and wonders. 

58
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,960
And he was. 
Near to the broken hearted and 

59
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,880
the prostitutes and the ones 
that were down and out and he 

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,920
would lift their head and give 
them hope and encourage them. 

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,440
He wouldn't rebuke them when 
religion kicked him to the curb,

62
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,760
Jesus said there's. 
More that's the God we serve and

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,600
I'm so thankful to be with you 
this morning. 

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,400
And I just I, I just want to 
know that his presence is here 

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,720
and and I just believe that he's
moving us to a season that thank

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,400
God we can feel him, David, 
thank God we can sense him, but 

67
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,760
there's going to be seasons in 
your life. 

68
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Listen to me church. 
There's going to be seasons in 

69
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,320
your life that it feels like he 
is 1,000,000 miles away, but I'm

70
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,760
here to remind you he's not. 
Because situations and things 

71
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,640
will come against you and 
opposition's and symptoms and 

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,120
sicknesses and and trials and 
tribulations will try to 

73
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,640
overtake you and the enemy will,
will, will send even people 

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,960
right to to come against you. 
And it can feel like God. 

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,920
Where are you at? 
But I'm here to remind you he's 

76
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,360
never left and he's here inside 
of you. 

77
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,080
Father, we thank you for your 
presence here today. 

78
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,120
We just This room is yours. 
We don't need a sermon. 

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,520
We don't need, we don't need a 
name. 

80
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,360
We don't need a man. 
We need you. 

81
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,800
May your presence be felt in 
this room. 

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,320
May your words be remembered in 
this room. 

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,560
May my name be completely 
forgotten. 

84
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,680
Because it is your name that 
heals. 

85
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,320
It is your name that saves. 
It is your name that raises the 

86
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,600
dead. 
It is your name. 

87
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,080
That heals the broken hearted. 
But I thank you Lord, even in 

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,240
seasons where we feel like you 
are not there, I thank you. 

89
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,360
You send us the services today 
to remind us is that you're 

90
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,280
still here and you're present, 
ever ready to. 

91
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:46,720
Help in time of need. 
That you are a good father. 

92
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,280
And that you still move 
mountains. 

93
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,920
Come on. 
If you believe that this 

94
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,640
morning, Triumph Church, can you
just shout Amen. 

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,400
OK. 
Thank you, son. 

96
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,600
Guys, you can turn that off. 
It's good to be with you this 

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,680
morning. 
Pastor Brad, Pastor Amy, thank 

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,760
you for allowing me to be with 
you. 

99
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,600
Honored privileged. 
It's not, I don't even like the 

100
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,560
word opportunity because that 
sounds kind of like cheap, you 

101
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400
know, like I have an 
opportunity. 

102
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,000
It's not an opportunity, it's a 
privilege. 

103
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,880
And so I'm honored to partner 
with you, to plow the ground 

104
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,760
with you. 
I am a local church guy. 

105
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,840
You know, we're from Oklahoma, 
if you even know what that is. 

106
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,880
It's Cowboy State, OK. 
It's the middle of America where

107
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,360
we live in teepees and, and you 
know, we, we, we, we don't wear 

108
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,760
normal clothes. 
This is the first time I'm 

109
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,760
wearing normal clothes. 
Normally I wear, you know, 

110
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,720
sheepskin. 
And I'm kidding from Oklahoma, 

111
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,720
but we moved to Florida about 20
years ago to start a church. 

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,000
And I was there 20 years and we 
started it like this. 

113
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,440
It wasn't a hotel. 
This is actually way nicer than 

114
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,120
where we started. 
We started in a school, you 

115
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,080
know, a middle school with, with
boogers and gum all over the 

116
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520
tables and all the gross stuff 
that we had to set up and tear 

117
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880
down for. 
So I, I set up and tear down. 

118
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,520
I, I know where you're at. 
But, but the, the great thing 

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,960
about it is this is just a 
season, but how we treat this 

120
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,480
season is so important. 
How we treat this little because

121
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,960
I found that there are no small 
moments with God. 

122
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,480
Everything he asked us to do is 
important. 

123
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,760
How we treat every. 
And I found that sometimes we 

124
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,080
decide what's small and we 
decide what's really important. 

125
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,480
You know, one day when we have 
our church and we have all 

126
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,360
everything set up and that's 
going to be great. 

127
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,040
But this moment is still 
extremely important. 

128
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,880
And how we steward these moments
are everything. 

129
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,560
He's a big God, but he cares 
about the small things because 

130
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,240
it's the small things that make 
great things happen. 

131
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,360
I don't run for big things. 
David did not run for Goliath. 

132
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,600
You know what David did? 
He ran to be faithful. 

133
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,360
He was in the field when 
everyone forgot about him. 

134
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,440
He was taking care of sheep when
all the men were at battle doing

135
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,880
cool big boy things. 
But he was being faithful, 

136
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,080
taking bread and cheese to his 
brothers. 

137
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,920
And in that moment, his life 
changed overnight. 

138
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,160
How many people? 
Believe God can still do that. 

139
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,680
Amen. 
So I've got about 15 sermons in 

140
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,080
my head right now that we're 
just going to flow. 

141
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,120
We're not. 
You know, my heart today is that

142
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,400
you. 
I just, I believe that God wants

143
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,200
to shift some things today. 
I believe coming to church on 

144
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,080
purpose. 
Amen. 

145
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,360
Well, what I mean by that is I 
believe that we don't just come 

146
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,240
on accident. 
And so again, Pastor Brian, Amy,

147
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,360
it's an honor to be with you. 
I just love the local church. 

148
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,920
I was there 20 years at our 
church. 

149
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,160
We started in a school and we 
were there and then we moved to 

150
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,600
facility, facility, facility and
finally got another facility and

151
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,680
I was there 20 years until July 
last year. 

152
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,960
The Lord said it's time to go. 
And so I quit. 

153
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,400
Everything that I knew was 
comfort. 

154
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,080
You know, when you work for a 
place for 20 years, you have 

155
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,240
some comfort. 
You know, you have some tenure, 

156
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,400
you have some salaries. 
You know, you have things that 

157
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,960
you've built up and all these 
things. 

158
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,800
But the greatest place you can 
be for your family is in the 

159
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,440
will of God. 
And my kids don't need more 

160
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,400
money. 
They need purpose because 

161
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,360
purpose will bring them 
everything they need. 

162
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,400
And so I found myself walking 
through the fields because I 

163
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,200
knew, David, there was more 
inside of me. 

164
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,640
What are you doing? 
What I was doing was was right. 

165
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,240
But I knew there was another 
season ahead and I knew that it 

166
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,920
was just. 
Driving me this, they never felt

167
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,320
like that. 
Where you know God, there's 

168
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,200
something inside that you know 
there's more than what you're 

169
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,760
doing. 
Not what you're doing is bad, 

170
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,280
but you know there's more. 
And I began to walk in like a 

171
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,120
crazy person at fields and 
around my neighborhood and, and 

172
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,400
through the and through the 
force and just like God, what 

173
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,480
do, what do I need to do? 
And I remember I went to bed one

174
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,000
night and the Lord gave me a 
vision about traveling and, and 

175
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,240
so Long story short, met with my
pastor all the things and we 

176
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,280
quit. 
July 1 was my last day on staff 

177
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,880
of last year and we have 
literally not stopped since. 

178
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,560
And the Lord has been so 
faithful and gracious and kind. 

179
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,560
And and so we travel full time. 
We're we're crazy people. 

180
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:58,600
We got a bus. 
We live in that, we travel in 

181
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,000
that. 
And that's what we do all over 

182
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,120
America. 
And so I'm just honored to be 

183
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,600
with you and your country, your 
beautiful country, your green 

184
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,880
country. 
Yeah, I have my I'm sorry, my 

185
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,280
wife and Jonah and Judah with my
son Judah's in the back. 

186
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,080
We travel full time as a family.
By the way, when we started 

187
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,440
traveling, it was non 
negotiable. 

188
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,560
They came with me and so we're a
package deal. 

189
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,800
Sorry. 
And so they've been on the road 

190
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,840
with this full time and it's 
been the greatest thing. 

191
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,240
And so we're honored. 
Let's go to Ephesians chapter 5,

192
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:40,000
verse 15. 
And for those people who your 

193
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,440
hand, who you felt like God was 
touching you in worship, I just 

194
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,240
want to encourage you, man. 
It's a new season for you. 

195
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,280
He came to heal the broken 
hearted. 

196
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,600
He came to heal. 
And the reason your heart needs 

197
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,520
to be healed is not just so that
you can live your life and have 

198
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,720
your best life is so that you 
can move forward with the 

199
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,280
purpose of God on your life. 
Because the enemy comes to 

200
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,760
steal, kill and destroy, doesn't
he? 

201
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,240
But what should we do? 
Oh, just run and hide. 

202
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,840
No, but but the Bible says come 
on. 

203
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,600
But it says. 
Be of good cheer. 

204
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,680
Come on, for we have overcome 
the world. 

205
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,760
The Bible says Trials and 
tribulations will come, but but 

206
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,040
be of good cheer. 
Come on, can anyone say we're 

207
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,520
going to overcome? 
Yes. 

208
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,280
And so for those of you whose 
hands was up, I come on, I 

209
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,160
encourage you. 
It can be the greatest season of

210
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,320
your life, starting now. 
And you came to this, you came 

211
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,840
to the service on purpose, 
wasn't by accident. 

212
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,360
It might have been through 
Facebook or a friend, but it was

213
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,160
more than that. 
It was the Spirit of God that 

214
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640
drew you. 
And so Ephesians chapter 5, 

215
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,880
verse 15, it says this, it says 
be very careful how you live, 

216
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,760
not as unwise, but as wise, 
making the most of every 

217
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,040
opportunity because what the do 
I need to scoot over for people?

218
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,600
I'm kind of in the OK, OK, I got
a big head, so let me make sure 

219
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,000
you can see behind me. 
It says making the most of every

220
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
opportunity because the days are
evil. 

221
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,040
Come on, can anyone agree that 
the days are a little evil? 

222
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,400
Can we agree that things are 
getting a little crazy out 

223
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,240
there? 
You know, we got COVID, we got 

224
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,080
all these other things and we 
got the news and. 

225
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,600
And so if we're not careful, if 
we. 

226
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,040
Keep our eyes. 
On that then it can really 

227
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,680
overtake us if we keep our eyes 
on the news. 

228
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:13,320
Can I just encourage you don't 
watch the news. 

229
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,440
I'm not an anti news person but 
I do think less that we watch of

230
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:17,840
it. 
Come on. 

231
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,720
The less we keep our eyes on it 
because there is an agenda and 

232
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,560
it's called fear. 
And I found especially I lived 

233
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,720
in Florida, hurricane, you know,
hurricanes happen all the time. 

234
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,120
And it was like every other 
month in hurricane or every 

235
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,240
other week in hurricane season, 
there was a hurricane that would

236
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,720
come against us. 
And and if you keep your eyes 

237
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,160
glued to the TV and what the 
weatherman says. 

238
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:42,400
You'd be convinced you were all 
going to die, You know, there, 

239
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,120
you know, get out. 
You know, it's the end of the 

240
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,920
world. 
You will get wiped out. 

241
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Your children will be, you know.
If you watch it, I'm not saying 

242
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,200
we should be ignorant, but I am 
happy. 

243
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,720
But there is a thing called the 
Spirit of God that I have to 

244
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,920
keep my eyes turned towards Him.
And so in this season it says 

245
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240
this, it says there are days 
that are evil. 

246
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,080
Verse 17. 
Therefore don't be foolish, but 

247
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,280
understand, come on, say 
understand, Understand what the 

248
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,040
Lord's will is. 
Can I just encourage you? 

249
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,280
This is not my message, but let 
me just encourage you. 

250
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,280
It is the season to understand 
why you are breathing. 

251
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,280
It is the IT is the season to 
understand God. 

252
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,160
Why am I on this earth? 
Why have you created me? 

253
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,080
What do you want me to do? 
And the Bible says, I said don't

254
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,040
be foolish, but understand, 
which means I'm here to give you

255
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,320
good news. 
You can know the will of God. 

256
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,760
He's a good father. 
He said if you seek me, you will

257
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,000
what find me. 
He's not hiding from you. 

258
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,640
He is dear to people. 
And when they say God, I don't 

259
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,760
know what to do with my life. 
Will you help me? 

260
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,360
He listens. 
So it says, but understand what 

261
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,880
the will of the Lord is. 
Verse 18 it says don't get drunk

262
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,000
on wine, which leads to 
debauchery instead. 

263
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,280
Come on, try and say instead. 
Instead, what does it say? 

264
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,600
It says be filled with the 
Spirit so many times we can run 

265
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,760
I, I I like how the Bible said 
wine, but so many times we can 

266
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,080
run to certain things like wine 
or alcohol or other things to 

267
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,480
what to try to help us in our 
season to take the edge off to 

268
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,160
to help but to help us cope. 
But can I tell you there was a 

269
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Father in heaven who wants to 
help you? 

270
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,800
He's better than a drink. 
He's better than a drug. 

271
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,240
He will literally come and 
satisfy you like. 

272
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,360
Nothing else can. 
Oh, he's a good God. 

273
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:30,960
And he's teaching us in this 
season. 

274
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,440
He says you need to understand. 
But he says, he says, don't get 

275
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,880
drunk or don't get distracted 
or, or don't watch too much 

276
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,360
Netflix or don't watch all these
things that just keep us, you 

277
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,520
know, distracted. 
I listened to one of your 

278
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,480
sermons recently. 
The pastor Brad was talking 

279
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,960
about, about our, our, our 
iPhones and things how we can, 

280
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,680
you know, they're great, but 
they also can be super 

281
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:50,400
distracting. 
And we keep our eyes on all 

282
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,920
these things and and we get 
filled with all these things, 

283
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,400
and then we wonder why we can't 
hear. 

284
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,000
God, but he gives us an answer. 
Thank God. 

285
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,520
It says instead. 
Be filled with the Spirit. 

286
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,840
Is anyone filled with the Spirit
in this wonderful church? 

287
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Amen, it says, speaking to one 
another. 

288
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,840
With what? 
With psalms, with hymns, and 

289
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,280
with what songs? 
Come on, say songs. 

290
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,720
Songs from the Spirit. 
And the Bible even talks about 

291
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,720
this. 
He goes on and says, sing, come 

292
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,000
on, sing and make music in your 
heart to the Lord. 

293
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Verse 20. 
Always, always giving what? 

294
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,360
I know Thanksgiving is coming 
up, but can I just tell you 

295
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Thanksgiving should not just be 
a holiday. 

296
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,000
I love Thanksgiving, by the way.
It is my favorite holiday. 

297
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Why are you guys going to do 
that here? 

298
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,160
I don't. 
OK, so that's an American thing,

299
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,640
but you've heard of it. 
But Thanksgiving in America is 

300
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,440
like a big deal for one day and 
then we move on, right? 

301
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,200
But shouldn't we be giving 
thanks to the Lord every day 

302
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,520
because he's a good father? 
It says it says always give 

303
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,680
thanks to God. 
The Father for everything in the

304
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,240
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
let me give you another 

305
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,240
scripture, Hebrews 1315, Hebrews
1315. 

306
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,240
It says through him. 
This is the amplified version, 

307
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,200
or they call this the woman's 
version. 

308
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,120
You know, all the all the 
details and all that things. 

309
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,440
Give me the man version. 
Just tell me what it says. 

310
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,600
But this will tell you all that 
it says, right? 

311
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,480
It says it says it says. 
Through him. 

312
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Come on. 
Therefore, let us what at all 

313
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,960
times, come on, say that at all 
times, at all times, OfferUp to 

314
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:37,360
God a sacrifice of praise. 
Which is the fruit of our lips 

315
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,560
that thankfully come on, 
acknowledge and glorify and 

316
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,040
confess, or sorry and confess 
and glorify his name. 

317
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,040
I love that because it says let 
us OfferUp at all. 

318
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,720
Times Notice it doesn't say at 
church on Sunday. 

319
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,880
Come on notice it doesn't say 
when we come together at our 

320
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,720
midweek service or when we come 
to Triumph Church on Sunday 

321
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,760
morning. 
It doesn't say that It says at 

322
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,040
all times. 
That means even at times at your

323
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,520
house when the enemy is coming 
against your mind. 

324
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,000
That means even when you're in 
your family and things are 

325
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,840
coming against you, when the 
enemy is lying to you, the Bible

326
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,800
says at all times offered to God
a sacrifice of praise. 

327
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,560
Triumph Church, I'm here to tell
you it is the season to get your

328
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,120
voice back. 
It is the season to get your 

329
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,000
voice because if you read about 
our Bible, which. 

330
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,680
I'm sorry, I, I am a Bible guy, 
but I left it in Scotland last 

331
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,440
week, which is so bad and sad, 
you know, 'cause I've had that 

332
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Bible for almost 20 years and I 
have like every note. 

333
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,880
I don't feel like I can read the
Bible without that, you know, 

334
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,920
'cause you have everything like.
And so I'm Bible list this 

335
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,240
morning. 
But. 

336
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,040
It says offer at all times a 
sacrifice of of praise, which is

337
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,400
the fruit of our lips. 
It is time to start lifting our 

338
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,880
voice again. 
If you read the Bible, it is so 

339
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,080
much. 
There's so much about music and 

340
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,560
singing and dancing and shouting
and rejoicing. 

341
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,600
I'm sorry to say, if you don't 
like music, you're going to hate

342
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,960
heaven because right now the 
Bible says are seated around the

343
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,160
throne of God. 
There were angels singing, come 

344
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,640
on, holy. 
Holy is the Lord God Almighty. 

345
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,359
He is a God of music. 
I'm here to tell you the world 

346
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,200
did not create music. 
Nashville, LA, Hollywood did not

347
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,440
create music. 
London did not create music. 

348
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:23,359
Music was created by God. 
And it is the season to worship.

349
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:28,240
I know this is not popular, but 
this is what we need because 

350
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,360
there were seasons in our life 
that we're walking through the. 

351
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:33,640
Valley of the shadow of death 
and thank God for the word, but 

352
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,120
so many times we've wanted 
prayer to do what only. 

353
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:40,440
Praise can do. 
God is looking for his people to

354
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,160
start to worship, not in church 
when we have a band. 

355
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,560
Thank God for this. 
But what about at home? 

356
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,520
What about in the hospital room?
Come on, what about when 

357
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,320
everything is piling up and, 
and, and it feels like your 

358
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,440
world is caving in and it's not 
just for the bad times. 

359
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,360
I found we've, we've, we've, 
we've formulated worship to a 30

360
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:03,400
minute set list on a Sunday. 
But what about at home when no 

361
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,120
one's around? 
Can I not just lift my hands and

362
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:09,720
lift my voice to God and just 
say God, I worship you, I 

363
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:15,520
magnify you, I glorify you, not 
just because he's God, which he 

364
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,520
is. 
We're going to talk about that. 

365
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,120
But there's a reason you need 
your worship church. 

366
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,280
You need your worship. 
I'm telling your worship can get

367
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,240
you through some moments. 
There's a power and you know the

368
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,920
Bible talks about back in the 
Old Testament that people begin 

369
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,960
to shout walls came down. 
You know that we search so for 

370
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,240
God that can move walls that I 
don't care what you're facing. 

371
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,960
I just want to bring some hope. 
Today there was a God who in 

372
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,200
heaven who was still a miracle 
working God, and he can steal 

373
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,640
whatever the enemy meant for 
bad. 

374
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,800
God can steal what turn for 
good. 

375
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:51,920
Does anyone believe that? 
I believe it. 

376
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,000
And so let me just as we move 
on, I'll just give you this 

377
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,280
disclaimer. 
I don't mind if you say Amen to 

378
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,000
me, if you shout at me, if you 
run around this room, don't get 

379
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,920
weird. 
We don't want weird. 

380
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,480
But if something resonates, it's
OK to say Amen, because I found 

381
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,320
that we will go to a football 
game, a cricket match, a soccer 

382
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,880
match or whatever match, 
whatever your favorite match is.

383
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,240
And I've seen grown men and 
women screaming their guts out, 

384
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,560
singing and dancing. 
And you ever been to a football 

385
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,360
game where you see someone paint
their whole body? 

386
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,520
In America, we do that, right? 
They're like. 

387
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,480
They call it tailgating. 
They'll get to the game early 

388
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,200
and they'll they're fans, crazy 
fans. 

389
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,640
They'll come in the snow, right?
And they're sold out fans, but 

390
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,200
how much more does the God 
deserve our praise? 

391
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,240
He's a faithful God. 
So here we go. 

392
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:45,480
So I want to give you a couple 
verses of scriptures about 

393
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,800
worship. 
And I want to I just want to 

394
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,560
paint a picture because I'm 
going to talk about two 

395
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,160
individuals today in the in the 
time that we have left, I just 

396
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,040
want to talk about two 
individuals today who went 

397
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,680
through some turbulent times. 
Has anyone went through some 

398
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,920
turbulent times? 
What do I mean by that? 

399
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:01,720
Times that it was like this is 
not fun. 

400
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,840
In fact, when we flew over here 
to Ireland, it was not fun. 

401
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,920
It was turbulent. 
The plane was like, I was like 

402
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,880
Jesus, Jesus, you know, but I, 
but I don't want you to think, 

403
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,840
hear my heart. 
We don't just call out to him in

404
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,160
the bad times. 
He's not a lucky charm. 

405
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,960
Oh, things are bad. 
Let Jesus. 

406
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,840
No, no, I want to know him and 
walk with him when things are 

407
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,680
great. 
Thank God I can run to him when 

408
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,600
things are not great, but I just
want to sit with Him when things

409
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,560
are great and say, Lord, I don't
need anything, but I just want 

410
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,000
to sit with you because I love 
you and I'm thankful for you and

411
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,840
you've been a good father. 
I just want to spend some time 

412
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,800
with you because I found when 
you spend time with God, it rubs

413
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,680
off on you. 
Come on. 

414
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,280
And things become a little bit 
easier. 

415
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,200
Psalms 100 I'm going to give. 
You a couple verses about 

416
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,280
worship I. 
Think we we we mainly all know 

417
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,560
but in but maybe you don't so I 
don't want to assume but I feel.

418
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560
Like as a. 
Church, most of us know that 

419
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,880
worship honors God, right? 
OK Psalms 100, verse one. 

420
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,000
Psalms 100, verse one. 
It says this, it says, it says 

421
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,880
make a joyful what? 
Shout to the Lord. 

422
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,600
All you lands serve the Lord. 
With what gladness come before 

423
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,520
his presence with singing. 
Yes, know that the Lord He is 

424
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,520
God. 
And it is He who has made us and

425
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,960
not ourselves. 
We are his people and the sheep 

426
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,840
of his pasture. 
Verse 4, This is the great one. 

427
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,040
What does it say? 
It says enter into his gates. 

428
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,320
With what? 
Thanksgiving. 

429
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,080
Yes, and enter into his courts 
with praise. 

430
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,000
Be thankful to him and bless his
name. 

431
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,200
The Bible says enter into his 
courts not with silence, not 

432
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,120
with staring, but with 
rejoicing, but with shouting. 

433
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:46,720
Again, I'm not. 
I don't want to be weird. 

434
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,400
I've met weird people. 
I've met weird church people. 

435
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,880
We don't want that. 
That's that. 

436
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,440
I want genuine, but I do believe
that we have to get beyond how 

437
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,000
we feel and get beyond looking 
weird. 

438
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:01,480
David was used mightily by God 
and he didn't give, he didn't 

439
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,600
care at all what people thought 
about him when the Spirit of 

440
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,960
God, the presence of God and the
ark came before him and the 

441
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,120
ended. 
And in the Old Testament, the 

442
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,440
Bible says David tore off his 
clothes and begin to dance 

443
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,480
before the Lord. 
It wasn't because he was trying 

444
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,640
to be weird. 
He was just so thankful that the

445
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,480
presence of God came and he was 
so thankful that God chose him 

446
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:25,440
and was using him that he began 
to worship God will use. 

447
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,840
Worshippers, yes. 
And so let's go to one more John

448
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,320
Chapter 4. 
Verse 23. 

449
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,480
John 423. 
This is a very familiar one if 

450
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,200
you've been in church for a 
little bit, but if you haven't, 

451
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,440
it's new. 
John 4/23 it says. 

452
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:48,000
But the time is coming, and 
indeed, it's here now. 

453
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,960
Come on, say it's now. 
I believe Ireland. 

454
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,840
Is for Ireland was. 
Created for the glory of. 

455
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,480
God, how many people believe 
that? 

456
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,360
That this is. 
God's land. 

457
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,960
These are God's people. 
And he didn't come to establish 

458
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,560
religion. 
Man did that. 

459
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,120
He came to establish a Kingdom 
and he came to establish heaven 

460
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,600
on earth. 
And he is A and he, he came to 

461
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,280
establish, I believe there's, I 
believe even this church, that 

462
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,240
this church and others, there 
are churches that are rising 

463
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,200
that it is a season, as your 
pastor said, it's been revving 

464
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,320
up and it's been revving up. 
And now we're in a new gear that

465
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,920
it is a new season. 
And I see I hear a sound coming 

466
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:34,320
out of Ireland and it's not a 
man made sound, it's not a sound

467
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,080
from a pub, it's not a sound 
from a bar, it's not a a sound 

468
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,200
from a band. 
But it is a sound of his people 

469
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,080
worshipping him. 
And I don't know about you, but 

470
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,800
I want to be a part of that 
sound anyone because people need

471
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,360
his presence. 
There was a darkness here in 

472
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:58,840
other places as well and there 
and there can be a heaviness. 

473
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,600
But here's good news that the 
Spirit of God can break that, 

474
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,400
and freedom can come. 
The Bible says that where the 

475
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,520
Spirit of the Lord is, there is 
what? 

476
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,560
Freedom. 
Yeah. 

477
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,640
It's better to be free, isn't 
it? 

478
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,840
So much better to be free, so it
says. 

479
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,400
But the time is coming, and 
indeed it's here now. 

480
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,800
Come on, say it's now, it's now.
It says this when worshippers 

481
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,800
will worship the Father in 
spirit and in truth, Yes, and 

482
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,280
the father is looking one 
translation says he's seeking 

483
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,080
for those who will worship him 
that way. 

484
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,000
So can we agree that Scripture 
does encourage us to worship 

485
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,640
God, right. 
I mean, this is not a hard 

486
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,840
question, but it it it does 
encourage. 

487
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,720
Us so so, so triumph Church we 
know this that God loves come 

488
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,720
on, we know he desires and that 
he is worthy of our worship and 

489
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,360
we even know scripts so that the
Bible tells us to, but also 

490
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:51,560
scripts so that it says he's 
seeking it, he's longing it, 

491
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,680
he's looking for it. 
But Triumph Church, nowhere in 

492
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,120
the Bible does it say that God 
needs he needs it. 

493
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,800
Don't throw rocks at me. 
Just think about it. 

494
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,120
Nowhere does it say that he 
needs it. 

495
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,240
Can I just say this statement? 
I want to. 

496
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,840
I want to break it down. 
I don't believe God needs our 

497
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,840
worship to be God. 
Think about it, whether you. 

498
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,400
Sing to him or not, he is still 
who he is, right? 

499
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Whether we sing, whether we, you
know, run around this room, you 

500
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,120
know, you know, like, you know, 
and praise. 

501
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:28,240
We're running around and jumping
and shouting and dancing like 

502
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,680
maybe we have or maybe you've 
seen before whether we do that. 

503
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,000
Has anyone ever been like a real
crazy church service? 

504
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,320
Maybe a few, maybe not a lot, 
but you know, maybe if we have 

505
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,840
one of those or you know, or if 
we just stand here like this, 

506
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,280
whether we do this or whether we
run jump and shout, he is still 

507
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:53,680
God right his identity. 
He's not tied to our worship. 

508
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,880
He's not like man Triumph church
was was quiet this morning. 

509
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:00,080
I guess I don't know who I am. 
No, no, he knows who he is 

510
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,520
worship. 
Listen, it doesn't change him. 

511
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,280
It cannot Why because the Bible 
says in James 13/8 that he is 

512
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,760
the same yesterday today and 
forever. 

513
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,160
So he is who he is, whether we. 
Get involved or not, right? 

514
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,760
Think about this, think about 
and and maybe you've been in 

515
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,360
these. 
Think about one of the greatest 

516
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:19,960
worship services you ever been 
in. 

517
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,880
Anyone can think of 1 by hands 
this morning. 

518
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,600
I know I'm kidding. 
But think about maybe you've 

519
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,720
been into a really powerful 
worship service or maybe a 

520
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,200
concert. 
I know you went to CC Wine as 

521
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,600
when she came, but but think 
about a one. 

522
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:37,000
Think about one of the most 
powerful worship experiences and

523
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,560
church services that you've been
a part of. 

524
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,480
Think about this. 
You left different, but God was 

525
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,360
still the same. 
You walked out of that room 

526
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:46,640
lighter come on, anyone You 
walked out of that room and 

527
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,360
courage. 
You walked in that room like 

528
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:50,960
man, I feel good man, thank God.
Look at this. 

529
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,480
I feel different and I feel 
encouraged. 

530
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,160
Strength in my head is a little 
higher and I can do this and and

531
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,640
so you walked out changed, but 
God was still the same again. 

532
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,800
He loves it and he desires our 
worship but triumph church if he

533
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,400
doesn't need your worship to 
exist, who must need worship? 

534
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,200
We do. 
It's the season of worship 

535
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,680
triumph. 
Church, you were created to 

536
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,000
worship. 
You were created to magnify God.

537
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,320
You were created to lift your 
hands, lift your voice. 

538
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,800
You were created not not to be 
goofy. 

539
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,520
I don't want goofy, David. 
I don't want that. 

540
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,960
I want to kick that. 
I want genuine. 

541
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,600
But we were created to worship. 
You were created to lift your 

542
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,840
voice and magnify God. 
Because I'm here. 

543
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,040
To tell you when you start doing
that, everything begins to 

544
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,120
change in your life. 
My wife and I have had so many 

545
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:51,480
miraculous seasons of God's hand
moved in our life in a miracle 

546
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,280
way. 
And it wasn't just because I was

547
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,880
a Christian. 
It wasn't because I just went to

548
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,440
church my whole life. 
It was because in the moment of 

549
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,520
chaos, I got on my knees. 
We did, and we begin to lift our

550
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,600
hands and magnify God right in 
the middle of it. 

551
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,560
I mean, I could give you 
testimony after testimony. 

552
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,920
You know, when you follow God, 
you're going to have people that

553
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,720
come against you. 
Did you know that Ireland does 

554
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,280
not want your church to get a 
building? 

555
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,840
But thank God, we don't serve 
Ireland. 

556
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,040
Come on. 
We serve the name of we serve 

557
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,400
God. 
And if God be for you, come on, 

558
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,160
who can be against you? 
Yes, we honor the government we 

559
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,120
respect, we pray for, but he has
the final say. 

560
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,680
He has the final say he had not 
man because I'm not serving man,

561
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,680
I'm serving God. 
And so that's why you will get a

562
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,040
building in Jesus name can when 
you agree that that you will get

563
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,600
a building when people couldn't,
you will because it ain't you. 

564
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,480
It's God. 
It's not you, it's God. 

565
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,360
And God can move mountains. 
God can work on the hearts of 

566
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,480
people. 
God can can unlock things that 

567
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,160
have been bound up for years. 
God can move on buildings and 

568
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,960
when people's hearts say no, no,
I'll never sell it. 

569
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,920
God can get involved and they 
sell, but it's not for you. 

570
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,400
It's for the people. 
It's for the church. 

571
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,360
So who says you can't have a 
building? 

572
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,600
Who says that you can't, you 
know, have rooms and property? 

573
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,120
Come on. 
Does anyone believe that Triumph

574
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,120
Church is bigger than this room?
4 people, come on. 

575
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,080
Does anyone believe that Triumph
Church is bigger than this 

576
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,000
building, than this room that 
God's going to send you people 

577
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,840
come on. 
And families and children come 

578
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,160
on and ministries that you're 
going to have to have rooms and 

579
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,000
places to put it. 
Can we dream that big? 

580
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,360
We don't serve a small God. 
And so my wife and I, we had 

581
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,160
some trials, man, man, a lot of.
Trials, one of the biggest ones 

582
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,920
is when we stepped out in 
ministry years ago, you know, we

583
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,400
stepped out because the Lord 
told us to and it wasn't 

584
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,320
comfortable. 
I was working a secular job. 

585
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,160
What that means is I was working
for a big company, but I knew I 

586
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,800
was called Pastor Brad to 
ministry and there was a season 

587
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,680
to work for them. 
But I knew in my spirit that God

588
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,320
was like, you need to get out of
this because it's distracting 

589
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,080
you, it's keeping you too busy. 
Making a lot of money, but. 

590
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,400
You're in the wrong. 
Place, he said. 

591
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,000
I didn't call you here to work 
this job. 

592
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,920
I called you here to. 
Ministry and so you need to. 

593
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,720
Quit and I was like, but I got a
mortgage and I got, you know, 

594
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,280
kids I'm trying to raise one day
and I, you know, anyone think 

595
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,440
like that? 
I got a house but God don't care

596
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,920
because. 
He knows what he's going to do. 

597
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,880
He wants to know if we're going 
to trust him because he can see 

598
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,520
past what we're dealing in. 
And some of you in this room, 

599
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,440
you've been dealing with some 
things, and I'm here to tell 

600
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,920
you. 
We got to look. 

601
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Past it and I want to help you 
seek past it this morning. 

602
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,720
And so we were believing God for
money for our house because we 

603
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,520
needed to pay off some things 
and I I quit my job like the 

604
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,720
Lord told me to. 
It wasn't like he said Marcus 

605
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,120
quit. 
I don't want to make God weird 

606
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,400
and mysterious. 
I just sense, does anyone just 

607
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,720
sense that you feel like God 
wants you to do it was just like

608
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,840
an inward like. 
I feel like I got to do this. 

609
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,840
And I quit and all the bills 
piled up, right? 

610
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,520
And I'm like God, where you act 
like you told me to do this. 

611
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:16,240
But we found strength and 
clarity around our piano every 

612
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,640
night. 
Not because I'm a musician, not 

613
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,160
because I'm a singer, but 
because I'm a believer. 

614
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,040
I begin to do, the Bible says. 
I begin to worship. 

615
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,800
Him and give thanks to him and 
magnify him. 

616
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,760
Come on and lift up his name and
declare you have the name above 

617
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,240
all names. 
She won't worry thee of my 

618
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,640
praise, and I will sing. 
How great is my God? 

619
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,400
And we begin to sing that. 
Sing that in our living room. 

620
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,400
Because I'm no longer a slave to
fear. 

621
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,720
Anyone been there before? 
Had to declare that I am a child

622
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,480
of God. 
I begin to magnify, we begin to 

623
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,760
declare and worship and I'm 
telling you it's amazing the 

624
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:03,280
miraculous things that begin to 
happen and how checks came not 

625
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,440
overnight, but how God began to 
move because we begin to 

626
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,960
worship. 
Guys, you need your worship more

627
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,160
than you realize. 
Worship is not 30 minutes. 

628
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,360
Worship is a lifestyle and 
there's so much that He wants to

629
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,240
do in your life. 
If you would just lift your 

630
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,280
voice, you say I'm not a singer.
I'm not talking to singers. 

631
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,560
I'm talking to believers. 
Any believers in the room this 

632
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,800
morning? 
Why do you need your worship? 

633
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,240
Triumph Church? 
I'm going to tell you why 

634
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,240
because your worship will get 
you away from yourself and how 

635
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,600
many people need to get away 
from themselves. 

636
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,160
Sometimes we need to come on. 
Your hands should be up because 

637
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,200
your mind will mess you up. 
You any overthinkers, You don't 

638
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,520
have to raise your hand. 
Overthinkers in there. 

639
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,600
I saw that she's like 
overthinkers. 

640
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,240
You're like, I am a overthinker 
thinking my overthinking. 

641
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,800
I think, think and we overthink.
And if you allow these things to

642
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,480
loop in your mind, come on and 
these things, and I'm telling 

643
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,200
that's why you got to get away 
from your mind and you got to 

644
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,720
get on your knees before God and
just begin to lift your voice. 

645
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,280
I'm here to tell you He will 
come and He will bring clarity 

646
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,680
to you. 
He will bring peace that you 

647
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,680
need. 
You've been running around and 

648
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,560
thinking about it and trying all
these things. 

649
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,080
When is the last time? 
When is the last time you lifted

650
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,120
your? 
Hands and just begin to magnify 

651
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,760
him. 
He said. 

652
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,280
I feels weird, Absolutely. 
It does, but when you begin to 

653
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,520
magnify him, he begins to get 
involved. 

654
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,720
He begins to get involved. 
Some of you, there are things 

655
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,720
that you're dealing with and God
says you don't have to deal with

656
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,800
this anymore. 
Let me get involved with you. 

657
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,520
These things that we've been 
running around and carrying our 

658
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,800
whole life and overthinking in 
our mind and God says, no, let 

659
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,760
me get involved with that. 
He's not going to come and force

660
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,360
him away his way on you. 
He's not going to say you got to

661
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:44,880
worship. 
Me. 

662
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,880
No, no, that's religion. 
He's going to say, hey, come on,

663
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,040
if you want, come on, I'm here, 
I'm here. 

664
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:55,360
I just want to talk about two 
people real quick in the Bible. 

665
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,640
We're going to close this down 
because we just got we, I think 

666
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,080
we're going to end about 4:00 
and so. 

667
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,040
Kidding. 
It's a joke. 

668
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,680
It's a joke. 
Just kidding, man. 

669
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,840
Listen, why do you need your 
worship triumph? 

670
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,040
You need it because it gets you 
away from yourself. 

671
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:13,400
Come on when you. 
Realize the power of your 

672
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,320
worship. 
Come on and what it can do in 

673
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,920
your life. 
I'm telling you, you will not 

674
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,880
let anyone or anything keep you 
quiet. 

675
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,960
Come on. 
When you realize the power that 

676
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,760
is contained in a shout of 
faith, when you realize what it 

677
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,199
can do in your life, you will 
not let anybody keep you quiet. 

678
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,000
When you know when he's touched 
you anybody, when you know how 

679
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
he's healed you. 
Has he healed? 

680
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,840
Anybody in this room? 
Has he touched anybody in this 

681
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,080
room? 
When you know how he has 

682
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,800
forgiven you? 
How he has been patient with 

683
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:38,239
you? 
Come on. 

684
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,639
How He helped your children, how
He came through when no one else

685
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:45,600
did, how He sent that 
encouraging word. 

686
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,840
Come on. 
When you think about what God 

687
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,800
has done, it's easy to lift your
hand and magnify the Lord. 

688
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,960
I'm here to tell you it's the 
season to worship because some 

689
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,440
of us are dealing with things 
and we don't have to deal with 

690
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,120
them anymore. 
Paul was in prison. 

691
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,840
We're going to go here a couple 
verses. 

692
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,080
Acts chapter 416. 
I love this. 

693
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,800
We know this story about Paul 
and Silas, right? 

694
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,320
We, we've heard this, David, 
this is, this is the churchiest 

695
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,680
churchy verse ever, right? 
Acts chapter 16. 

696
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:15,760
Here's Paul and Silas. 
In prison? 

697
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,760
Has anyone ever been in prison? 
well-being in prison I might be 

698
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,520
embarrassing. 
I've been in prison since I've 

699
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,600
been 18, no joke doing ministry 
so. 

700
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,000
Pastor Brad's like, Oh my gosh, 
who is this guy? 

701
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,720
No, I've been in, I've been 
doing prison ministry probably 

702
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:36,800
before, since almost 1617. 
I'm I love prison ministry and 

703
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,960
I've been in it my whole life 
until we moved away from 

704
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:39,720
Florida. 
But I would. 

705
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:42,040
I would regularly, once a month 
go in, we'd have worship nights 

706
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,320
come on, we would go in and God 
would move in a mighty way. 

707
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,040
So I'm like, Lord, call me to 
prison, I'll commit a crime. 

708
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,960
If you want me to get in, I, I. 
I don't know. 

709
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,400
I'm just kidding. 
I'm kidding. 

710
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,440
I'm kidding. 
I just love it. 

711
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,960
But here's Paul and Silas in 
prison. 

712
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,000
Now let me let you know they 
were not in the prison like 

713
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,400
today's prison. 
Today's prisons, I'm not saying 

714
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,960
are all nice, but some I've 
been. 

715
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,560
I'm like. 
I could rob a bank. 

716
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,760
I mean, it's really not that 
bad, you know? 

717
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,280
I mean, you know, some I'm like,
one time I was in prison and the

718
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,240
guy's like, hey, what's your 
e-mail? 

719
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:16,440
I'll e-mail you. 
I was like, what? 

720
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,400
He's like, he pulled out an 
iPad. 

721
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,920
He's like, I'm like, you have an
iPad? 

722
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:22,640
I was like, did you sneak that 
in? 

723
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,280
Like he's like, no, we all get 
them. 

724
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,360
I was like, OK, that's 
different. 

725
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,680
Next time I was in service and 
the guy's like, hey, you want to

726
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,840
see my dog? 
I was like, what? 

727
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,400
He had a dog. 
A comfort dog in his cell. 

728
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,880
Yeah, Prison's way different 
today. 

729
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,080
I'm not saying it's glorious. 
I would rather be not in prison.

730
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,960
But what I'm saying is that the 
prison, you know, just want to 

731
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,920
just want to get that out there.
I don't want to go to prison. 

732
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,040
I will pray Jesus name Amen. 
Don't kid me. 

733
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,720
So here's Paul and Silas in 
prison. 

734
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:52,440
But this is a really bad prison,
right back in the day prison. 

735
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,160
And here's the crazy thing. 
They were in prison for doing 

736
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,760
the work of God. 
They didn't rob. 

737
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,280
They didn't kill someone. 
They actually set a young girl 

738
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,720
free. 
There's a story that Paul and 

739
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,480
Silas were traveling and there 
was a young girl. 

740
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,720
Who was possessed? 
By an evil spirit, and some men 

741
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,440
saw that and begin to use her 
for profit because she could 

742
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,440
tell the future. 
It was the Spirit, right? 

743
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,120
And these guys, you know, 
basically trafficked her and 

744
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,800
used her and, you know, 
manipulated her and took 

745
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,120
advantage of her and, and 
traveled with her and she. 

746
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,240
Would tell the. 
Future for money and they would 

747
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:26,440
get money and it was like a 
good. 

748
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,320
Business deal, right? 
Well, Paul came across here, the

749
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,680
Bible says, and he got greatly 
annoyed because she kept talking

750
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,560
about who he was like, you're 
the son of God. 

751
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,840
And he said in the name of 
Jesus, get out. 

752
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,560
And so this young girl was free.
Amen. 

753
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,720
And and you, you would think the
whole city went into revival. 

754
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:45,480
It didn't happen. 
They got mad because now their 

755
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,960
business was hindered and they 
threw Paul and Silas in prison 

756
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,760
for setting a young girl free. 
Do you think Paul and Silas 

757
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:52,720
deserved to be there? 
No. 

758
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,680
Here's Paul and Silas. 
But Acts chapter 16, verse 22, 

759
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,760
what does it say? 
And then the multitudes, what? 

760
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,400
They rose up together against 
them, and they tore off their 

761
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,040
clothes and they commanded them 
to be beaten with rods. 

762
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,320
I've never been beaten with 
rods. 

763
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,120
I never want to be but here 
they're being beat for for 

764
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:17,880
setting a young girl free. 
Isn't that crazy Verse 23. 

765
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,920
But here's the thing. 
Why did they throw them? 

766
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,920
They they didn't understand what
was going on. 

767
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,760
And some of you some people that
are coming against you and 

768
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,440
they're saying things against 
you and you can't take a 

769
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,280
personal because it's not flesh 
and blood. 

770
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,240
Hear me these these people when 
they should have been praising 

771
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,720
Paul and been like, oh man, look
what you've done. 

772
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,400
Let's take up an offering you 
you have helped us. 

773
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,800
They came against them and threw
them in prison. 

774
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,560
And some of you, I believe by 
the Spirit of God that there are

775
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,960
people that are talking about 
you when coming against you. 

776
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,160
And I just want to encourage 
you. 

777
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,400
It's not personal. 
It's not flesh and blood. 

778
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,480
And so that's why we can't take 
things personal, because 

779
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,800
sometimes there were spirits 
that work against us, and the 

780
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,880
Bible says that we. 
Live in a fallen world. 

781
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,000
That God, that the devil has 
blinded people's eyes. 

782
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,760
It says that and they walk and 
sometimes they don't know why 

783
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,080
they're doing what they do. 
You ever met someone who's an 

784
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,720
addict and you're like, man, get
out of there. 

785
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:13,840
But they they just don't. 
It's. 

786
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,240
Because they need to be set. 
Free. 

787
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,800
They're in there they're in 
bondage and and and so here here

788
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,880
are these people they're in 
bondage and they they get upset 

789
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,320
with Paul they throw them in 
prison and it says in verse 24 

790
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,880
haven't received such a charge 
he. 

791
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,800
Put them into the inner prison. 
Fasten their feet to the stocks.

792
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,600
Verse 25. 
But at midnight. 

793
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,840
Paul and Silas were praying and 
complaining to God. 

794
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,840
Sorry, Paul and Silas were 
praying and they were posting on

795
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,040
Facebook to all their family 
members about all the drama. 

796
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,360
That's no it's. 
The Bible says they were. 

797
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,280
Singing, they were singing, they
were singing, they were, they 

798
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,080
were singing hymns to God and 
the prisoners were listening to 

799
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,360
them. 
Verse 26 suddenly Come on, can 

800
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,520
someone shout suddenly? 
Suddenly what happened as they 

801
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,360
begin to worship? 
What happened as they begin to 

802
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,600
worship? 
The Bible says suddenly there 

803
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,000
was a great earthquake so that 
the foundations come on of the 

804
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,720
prison were shaken and 
immediately all the doors were 

805
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:16,800
opened and everybody's chains 
were loosed. 

806
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,200
Can I encourage you, Triumph 
Church, we still serve the God 

807
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,040
of the. 
Suddenly. 

808
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,240
I'm here to tell you, I want to 
encourage you, we still serve 

809
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:28,200
the God of the suddenly. 
We serve the God because 

810
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,000
currently sickness can be in 
your body. 

811
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,320
But I'm here to tell you, 
suddenly healing can flow. 

812
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,400
Maybe currently family problems 
and drama and anxiety and 

813
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,720
depression and worry has been 
plaguing you. 

814
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,040
But can I just declare to you 
today that the God of the 

815
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:44,280
suddenly that that, that, that 
peace can come, that currently 

816
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,840
maybe people can be coming 
against you or currently things 

817
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,280
can be having issues, But can I 
just declare that suddenly peace

818
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,600
and clarity and restoration and 
direction can. 

819
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:58,160
Flow. 
Triumph. 

820
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,800
Look how they look, how they 
responded during this terrible 

821
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,960
situation. 
They worshipped, They magnified 

822
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,520
God. 
In other words, they chose. 

823
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,400
Let's make it real simple. 
What did they do? 

824
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,760
They chose to magnify God in 
this moment. 

825
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Come on, how many times do we 
magnify our situations? 

826
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,760
Come on, how many times do we 
talk about our situations? 

827
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,880
We post about our situations, we
go on Google about our 

828
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,360
situations. 
Now we have ChatGPT about our 

829
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,720
situations and we researched and
we had researched and we talk 

830
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,000
and we post and we worry and we 
type the church. 

831
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,360
When is the last time you got 
down on your knees about it? 

832
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,760
When is the last time you lifted
your hands about it? 

833
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,760
When is the last time you begin 
to magnify God? 

834
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,040
Right in the middle of it. 
I'm here to tell you, 

835
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,880
breakthrough happens when you do
that. 

836
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,760
Listen, they didn't worship to 
get out, they worship to get 

837
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,800
away from themselves. 
And I'm here to prophecy and 

838
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,000
declare over you in this church.
Come on. 

839
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,080
I'm here to declare that 
breakthrough is coming to people

840
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,160
in this room when you get your 
eyes off yourself and begin to 

841
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,880
magnify God. 
Come on, God is raising up a 

842
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,320
people. 
Can I even go a little farther? 

843
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,080
God is raising up a church in 
Ireland who will learn to 

844
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,440
magnify God right in the middle 
of the madness, right in the 

845
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,080
middle of the pain, right in the
middle of the questioning. 

846
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,800
But they will begin to magnify 
God and worship God and lift 

847
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,880
their hands to God. 
And I'm here to tell you, you 

848
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:29,920
will watch the doors open up. 
God is wanting to get involved 

849
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,160
in your life so bad. 
He's a good father. 

850
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,440
I don't know what you've been 
told about him, but I'm here to 

851
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,360
tell you. 
He's a good father. 

852
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,280
He's a miracle working father. 
He's a kind God, he's a 

853
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,800
forgiving God. 
He's a second chance God, 

854
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,960
anyone. 
He is a he is a God that can 

855
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,960
turn to make get your mess and 
and put you on a whole other 

856
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,080
place if you let him get 
involved. 

857
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,480
And one of the ways today that 
we have to let him get involved 

858
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,960
is not just in our praying. 
Yes, we need to pray. 

859
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,480
It's not just in our reading our
Bible. 

860
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,400
Yes, we need to read the Bible, 
but it is the season to worship.

861
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,240
Said it before, I'll say it 
again. 

862
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,200
Sometimes we've wanted praise. 
We've wanted Bible reading and 

863
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,000
prayer to do what only praise 
can do. 

864
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,840
There's a time to read. 
We need to read all the time. 

865
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,240
We need to pray. 
Thank God we prayed here at 

866
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:21,440
10:00. 
I love prayer. 

867
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,320
We need to pray, but also 
sometimes I need to shout. 

868
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,480
I need to lift my hands come on,
I need to lift my voice and I 

869
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,840
begin I get I I need to start 
singing because there were 

870
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,040
things that happened when I 
begin to magnify him. 

871
00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:34,960
Look what the God in the 
suddenly came and. 

872
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,320
Broke those doors open and 
everyone was. 

873
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,880
Free. 
I don't have time, but there was

874
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,920
another season. 
Another. 

875
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,920
Story with with. 
David, when he was facing many 

876
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,800
of his battles, God, just I 
mean, you read his life. 

877
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,000
It was crazy. 
OK, I will. 

878
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:58,000
Yeah. 
Yeah, I wrote this down early 

879
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,360
this morning. 
There were some people in this 

880
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:00,840
room that you are in the middle 
right now. 

881
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,800
What I mean by that, you're in 
the middle. 

882
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,280
God has promised you something, 
you know God's will concerning 

883
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,160
something, but yet it hasn't 
came to pass or it looks like 

884
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,360
it's not coming to pass. 
And right now you feel like 

885
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,720
you're in the middle. 
God wants you to. 

886
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,760
God's asking you a question. 
Will you worship me in the 

887
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,720
middle? 
Will you worship me when it 

888
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:22,360
doesn't make sense, when you 
worship me when things seem like

889
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,800
it's not going to work out, I'm 
here to tell you it will work 

890
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,160
out If you keep your eyes on 
Him, it will work out. 

891
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,120
If you keep acknowledging Him, 
it will work out if we start to 

892
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:35,800
magnify the Lord, our minds can 
be our biggest problems. 

893
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,600
We try to figure things out, but
God. 

894
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:38,960
Doesn't want you to figure 
things out. 

895
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,880
He's too quick like that. 
He's like, no, no, you're too 

896
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,840
smart. 
I don't want to figure him out. 

897
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:47,120
I want to the Bible says I want 
to trust in the Lord with all my

898
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,440
heart. 
I want to lean not come on on my

899
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,560
own understandings. 
I I want to in all my ways 

900
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,680
acknowledge him because the 
Bible says when I do that then 

901
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,880
he will what direct my path 
Proverbs for. 

902
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,000
If we if we, we got to just I'm,
I got to. 

903
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,160
Quit trying to figure things 
out. 

904
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,760
You can't figure God out. 
Psalms 34 one. 

905
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,560
We're going to wrap this up. 
I'm going to have David come up 

906
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,960
and play something pretty in a 
minute. 

907
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:15,600
Psalms 34 one, we know this is 
such a churchy verse. 

908
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,680
What I mean by that is this is a
verse that we quote a lot in 

909
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,960
church. 
Maybe put this on your fridge. 

910
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,640
Bumper sticker people in here, 
any bumper sticker people, this 

911
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,200
would be a good bumper sticker. 
Psalms 34 one, it says I will 

912
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,760
bless the Lord at all times. 
His praise shall continually be 

913
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,080
in my mouth. 
My soul shall make us boast in 

914
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,480
the Lord. 
The humble shall hear of it and 

915
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,000
be glad. 
Verse 3 O magnify the Lord with 

916
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,800
me, and let us exalt His name 
together. 

917
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,080
Isn't that cute? 
That's so cute. 

918
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:44,720
Yeah, it's cute. 
Do we have any idea? 

919
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:46,040
Church where that verse was 
written. 

920
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,440
That's why we got to read the 
Bible. 

921
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,720
David did not write that verse 
when he was sitting in the 

922
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:52,560
synagogue's. 
He did not write that verse 

923
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,160
sitting on the throne. 
He did not write that verse when

924
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,520
everything was going wonderful. 
It sounds wonderful, but you 

925
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,000
don't hear anything negative. 
What do you hear all about God. 

926
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,280
Do you know that in that season,
David was running from a guy 

927
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,680
named King Saul who was trying 
to murder him, David who was 

928
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,280
going to be the one of the next 
anointed kings of Israel. 

929
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,720
But you know, he's, I can't get 
in. 

930
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:15,280
But you know the story. 
He served King Saul faithfully 

931
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,400
and all the things, but there 
was a season that Spears began 

932
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,200
to be thrown at him. 
And he's like, if I don't go 

933
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,720
now, I will die. 
But he was anointed. 

934
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,160
And the Bible says that David 
was on the run for many years in

935
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,160
caves and fields and creeks and 
running from a king. 

936
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:35,200
Who wanted to murder him? 
You think of God, where were you

937
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,320
at? 
Like like this is this is not in

938
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,280
my plan. 
This should not be happening. 

939
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,800
This is not my fault. 
You anointed me before my 

940
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,600
brothers. 
Why am I being chased? 

941
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,960
Why? 
Why is my character being torn 

942
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,760
apart? 
Why am I being lied about? 

943
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,800
Why all these things that David 
and he finds himself in a cave, 

944
00:46:52,920 --> 00:47:00,120
The Cave of a Dulum? 
Actually, First Samuel 22 he 

945
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,960
finds himself in a cave running 
from Saul and see we thought we 

946
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,760
had it bad, right? 
And David and probably one of 

947
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,280
the maybe the most question 
anyone have a moment where you 

948
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:15,960
question God like God. 
Here's David in a cave and he 

949
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,160
began to write this and he said 
I will bless the Lord at all 

950
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,600
times. 
He said his praise, so beware in

951
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,240
my mouth. 
Think about what David was. 

952
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:28,120
Going through at. 
This moment, Oh my gosh, this 

953
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,880
did not seem like a good time to
bless the Lord. 

954
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,920
He said, My soul shall make its 
boast in the Lord, the humble 

955
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,600
shall hear of it. 
Come on him, be glad. 

956
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,120
What did he say in the middle of
all this? 

957
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,960
He said, O magnify the Lord with
me, let us exalt his name. 

958
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,960
Together. 
I love verse. 2 Because he said,

959
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,800
My soul shall make its boast in 
the Lord. 

960
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,960
David didn't boast about his 
situation. 

961
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,760
David didn't even talk about 
where he was at. 

962
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,760
David didn't talk about all the 
problems. 

963
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,520
David talked about the one thing
that got him out his God. 

964
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,040
Guys, some of you. 
We're, we're, we're dealing with

965
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,280
things. 
I'm here to tell you it is the 

966
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,480
season to start talking about 
how big God is. 

967
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,520
It is the season to start 
magnifying His name because his 

968
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,320
name is high and exalted above 
every name. 

969
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,600
His name still brings healing. 
His name still brings power. 

970
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:10,320
His name still brings 
deliverance. 

971
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,880
His name still stops the work of
the enemy. 

972
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,760
His name can still bring walls 
down. 

973
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,000
The things that you've been 
facing, could it be because 

974
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,120
you've had your mouth closed? 
This is the season to open up 

975
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:26,000
your mouth, not just to say 
words, but to magnify God. 

976
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,960
Some of you need to shut your 
door, turn off the TV, get on 

977
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,400
your knees, lift your hands and 
just begin to magnify God. 

978
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,400
And I'm tearing to I, I can't 
tell you what he will do when he

979
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,720
will do, but I will say this. 
He will come and he will get 

980
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:43,760
involved and clarity will come. 
Peace will come and you can walk

981
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,560
through some of the most crazy 
trials of your life, but you'll 

982
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,720
have peace. 
You will have joy, as the Bible 

983
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:54,560
says, it's a peace that 
surpasses understanding people. 

984
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,440
Be like how? 
Are you so joyful How are you so

985
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:01,160
peaceful but God come on, but 
God come on triumph church just 

986
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,120
the season of worship. 
Come on David I'm close and I 

987
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,360
have I have this verse that I 
want to share as we as we wrap 

988
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:11,080
this down. 
Come on, Paul and David had some

989
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:15,760
pretty monumental could be 
frustrating seems scary moments.

990
00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:20,920
I I didn't even get on the the 
verse I wanted to the Bible says

991
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,120
there was another season that 
David faced another crazy trial 

992
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,480
that all the people came against
him because he was following God

993
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,440
and all their kids got taken and
his wives got taken and those 

994
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,240
that were with him got 
frustrated and the Bible says 

995
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:37,520
that they wanted to stone him. 
It's a pretty big deal. 

996
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:44,200
But David, The Bible says David.
Encouraged himself in the Lord 

997
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,840
David. 
Encouraged himself in the Lord. 

998
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,160
What got Paul out of the prison?
His voice. 

999
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,080
What got David out of The Cave? 
His voice. 

1000
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:58,920
What's going to keep you out of 
The Cave? 

1001
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,840
And when The Cave tries when, 
when cave situations trying to 

1002
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,320
come up against you, what's 
going to keep your sanity? 

1003
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,600
Your voice. 
Father, we thank you that you're

1004
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:14,080
here in this room. 
Father, we thank you that your 

1005
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,360
presence is here. 
We thank you, Lord. 

1006
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,080
There's a verse in Hebrews 12/2.
You don't need to go there, but 

1007
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,680
there was a verse that was dear 
to my heart. 

1008
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:26,320
It says Hebrews 12212 Two. 
It says Looking unto Jesus. 

1009
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,440
Who is the? 
Author and the finisher of our 

1010
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:34,520
faith, he said. 
He's the author and the finisher

1011
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,000
of our faith. 
As we close, I just want to 

1012
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,080
encourage you, God has the final
say over your life. 

1013
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:46,360
Not people, not circumstances, 
not situations, come on, not 

1014
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,880
symptoms, not family members. 
God has the final say. 

1015
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,400
He has the final say over your 
life. 

1016
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,080
He has the final say over your 
situation and church. 

1017
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,080
It is the season to worship. 
It is the season to magnify God.

1018
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:05,120
I'm here to tell you test him 
and watch what will happen if 

1019
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,000
you make it a a practice a 
practice. 

1020
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,960
Paul and David made it a 
practice to worship God. 

1021
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,360
And I'm here to tell you they 
did some miraculous things and 

1022
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,280
he's not a respecter of person, 
which means if he if he showed 

1023
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,640
up for them, how many people 
believe he'll show up for us? 

1024
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,560
Guys, it's the season to 
worship. 

1025
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,520
He says he's the author and the 
finisher of our faith. 

1026
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,520
As we close this, I want to pray
is that OK? 

1027
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,400
Can I pray, guys? 
It's the season to worship. 

1028
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,560
You can do this. 
Oh, I'm telling you the 

1029
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,800
miracles, the miracles, the 
clarity, the peace that will 

1030
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,560
come when we begin to magnify 
God. 

1031
00:51:54,320 --> 00:52:01,760
I know I gave a call earlier, 
but David was in a cave and Paul

1032
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:06,960
was in a prison. 
It was a pretty dark moment, but

1033
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,720
I maybe there's some people here
that you feel like you're in a 

1034
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:10,840
dark moment. 
We're not dragging this out. 

1035
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,120
I just want to quickly pray for 
you. 

1036
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,600
That's it. 
I just want to pray for you, 

1037
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,800
Nick. 
We can pray for you where you're

1038
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:15,600
at. 
You don't even have to come 

1039
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,480
down. 
I just believe that when we come

1040
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:24,760
to church that God wants to give
back, that some of you maybe be 

1041
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,600
facing a dark moment. 
I don't know what it is. 

1042
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,360
I'm not saying you have a 
headache today. 

1043
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,040
I'm saying there are some things
that you feel like, man, I feel 

1044
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:37,040
like I'm kind of in a dark 
moment or I feel like I'm in a 

1045
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,040
dark season in my life. 
I just. 

1046
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,960
Need you to know your word is 
worship. 

1047
00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:44,320
Worship will get you out, but I 
do. 

1048
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:45,840
Believe in the power of prayer 
as well. 

1049
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,080
I believe in the power of coming
together and agreeing with 

1050
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:53,800
people because I believe the 
presence of the Lord wants to 

1051
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,520
help you today. 
Maybe you're here this morning 

1052
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,000
saying I feel like I'm going 
through a dark moment. 

1053
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,320
Listen, I have been there. 
You know what? 

1054
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,360
I just came out of one. 
If I could be super transparent,

1055
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,400
probably 1 of the hardest 
seasons of my life, actually 

1056
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,000
following the plan of God for my
life. 

1057
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,160
And it is the most wonderful 
season of our life. 

1058
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,840
But it's amazing how when you 
follow God, sometimes people 

1059
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,280
don't like that. 
And you have people that you 

1060
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,400
thought were your family, right?
Anyone had that before? 

1061
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,240
And you're like, oh wow, I never
saw that side. 

1062
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,720
And you get their wounds that 
you're dealing with that you've 

1063
00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:28,240
never dealt with before, and 
voices and conversations that 

1064
00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:31,120
you're like, I never saw this 
coming, but God, come on. 

1065
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,440
But if I keep my eyes on that, 
I'll go crazy. 

1066
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,760
But if I keep my eyes on him, 
he'll help me. 

1067
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,160
He wants to help you today. 
Maybe you're here and you say, 

1068
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,360
man, I'm going through a dark 
moment. 

1069
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,760
I want you to know you can get 
out. 

1070
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,240
Religion will tell you, listen, 
it'll get better when you get to

1071
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:47,400
heaven. 
You just have to. 

1072
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,760
No, no. 
But Jesus came and said, you can

1073
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,360
be free today. 
Jesus doesn't come. 

1074
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,720
Just put band aids on US. 
Jesus came to set us free. 

1075
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,680
And the devil's a liar. 
If you hear this morning, just 

1076
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:01,760
lift your hand. 
You say, you know what? 

1077
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,600
I'm going through a moment. 
I could use some prayer. 

1078
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:05,520
Could I? 
Could you be bold enough just to

1079
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,240
lift your hand? 
If it's not, that's OK. 

1080
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:09,720
Just lift it up. 
Lift it up. 

1081
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:12,640
Lift it up. 
Yeah. 

1082
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:14,960
Can I pray over you? 
Can we? 

1083
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,000
Just. 
If your hands are up, look at 

1084
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,440
me. 
Your answer is worship. 

1085
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,640
I can pray for you, but you 
don't need me. 

1086
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,560
You need Him and you can access 
Him every single day of your 

1087
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,480
life and the way we access Him. 
Guys, I'm saying I see some of 

1088
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,200
you making your home a sanctuary
again. 

1089
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:33,960
I see some of you getting on 
your knees. 

1090
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,800
You married people, you need to 
grab your spouse's hand and you 

1091
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,720
need to have nights of worship 
together. 

1092
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,040
Turn off the television. 
I'm telling you what can happen 

1093
00:54:42,720 --> 00:54:45,560
if we begin to make our homes a 
sanctuary and we begin to 

1094
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,280
worship together. 
Oh, I'm telling you, God will 

1095
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,960
get involved, Woo and doors will
open up. 

1096
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,120
Clarity will come. 
Healing will come. 

1097
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:53,840
And things that you've been 
fighting against. 

1098
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,520
Come on. 
I'm telling you, peace and 

1099
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,400
freedom can come. 
Come on. 

1100
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:58,680
If your hand is up, let me pray 
for you. 

1101
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,720
What I thank you for every hand 
in this room that's up. 

1102
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,960
Oh Lord, I thank you, Father. 
Oh I speak healing. 

1103
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,400
Come on, I speak peace, Lord, 
they are here because they're 

1104
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,400
hungry for you. 
And so Lord you, Lord, I pray 

1105
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,600
Lord, for every hand that is up 
right now in Jesus name, and I 

1106
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,280
say restoration, come. 
Oh, I thank you for the peace of

1107
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,200
God that surpasses our 
understanding. 

1108
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:25,760
Oh, I thank you for freedom, 
Lord, and I ask you to do a work

1109
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,720
that only you can do. 
And Lord, as we commit to 

1110
00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:35,640
worship you, as we commit to 
worship you, we thank you, Lord,

1111
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:41,720
that doors are going to open up.
Come on, doors are going to open

1112
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:42,560
up. 
Can we believe that? 

1113
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,520
Come on, say doors are opening 
up. 

1114
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,240
Come on, say it. 
Like you, you believe it. 

1115
00:55:47,240 --> 00:55:49,600
Come on, say doors are opening 
up. 

1116
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,040
I'd rather believe that than 
anything else. 

1117
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:57,200
Amen. 
Doors are opening up. 

1118
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,120
Doors of clarity. 
Doors of clarity. 

1119
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,000
Doors of healing. 
Come on. 

1120
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:10,440
Doors of restoration. 
Oh, I thank you, Doors of joy. 

1121
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,200
I thank you for doors of joy. 
I thank you for the joy of the 

1122
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,320
Lord is our strength. 
I thank you, Lord, for the joy 

1123
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,640
of the Lord is our strength. 
If I can pray for you, I thank 

1124
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,240
the Lord that the joy of the 
Lord is her strength. 

1125
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:23,520
The joy of the Lord is her 
strength. 

1126
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,840
Father, we thank you for what 
the enemy meant for bad God will

1127
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,520
turn for good. 
Lord, we thank you that the joy 

1128
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,680
of the Lord is their strength. 
I thank you for this couple. 

1129
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,560
Lord, I thank you. 
The joy of the Lord is their 

1130
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,960
strength. 
The joy of the Lord, The joy of 

1131
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,040
the Lord is their strength. 
Father, I thank you for 

1132
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,240
strength. 
Oh, I thank you for supernatural

1133
00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:41,520
strength. 
That's not even going to make 

1134
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:42,680
sense. 
It's not even going to be 

1135
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,000
normal. 
It's not even going to be father

1136
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,080
planned, but Father, they're 
going to walk in a grace. 

1137
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,680
Father, I thank you for 
supernatural joy in their life. 

1138
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,760
Father, we thank you. 
This is the season to worship. 

1139
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,160
Father, we thank you for your 
presence. 

1140
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,320
Come on, look at me as we as 
we're as I'm about to hand this 

1141
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,080
over. 
Church is the season of worship.

1142
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,600
It doesn't have to happen 
overnight, but we got to get 

1143
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,560
there. 
Oh, I'm telling you, watch what 

1144
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,920
will happen when we when we 
begin to magnify God. 

1145
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,320
If he did it for Paul, if he did
it for David, I'm telling you he

1146
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,080
will do it for you. 
He's done it for me. 

1147
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,520
I don't need just get me alone 
with God. 

1148
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,240
That's all I need. 
I just need his presence. 

1149
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,280
I need to get my mind on him as 
I walked through one of the most

1150
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,720
challenging seasons of my life. 
I had to get away from that. 

1151
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,400
I had to get away from it and I 
had to get along with God and I 

1152
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,360
had to open up my mouth and 
begin to magnify God. 

1153
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,360
And I'm telling you, I walked 
right through it. 

1154
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,800
And you can too. 
Because we serve a good God. 

1155
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,080
Amen. 
Come on. 

1156
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,240
I said we serve a good God. 
Come on. 

1157
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,560
Your greatest day is ahead of 
you. 

1158
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,520
Come on. 
This is the season of worship, 

1159
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,880
season of shouting, season of 
dancing. 

1160
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:53,680
Yeah, I said it. 
Season of dancing. 

1161
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,200
Season of rejoicing, seizing, of
being undignified. 

1162
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:58,840
That I don't care what people 
say. 

1163
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,720
I don't care what people say 
about me. 

1164
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,360
Come on. 
I will be undignified. 

1165
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:03,480
I will dance. 
I will sing. 

1166
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:04,600
I will jump. 
I will shout. 

1167
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,240
Because you didn't change me. 
He did. 

1168
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:09,920
Let the redeemed. 
Of the Lord. 

1169
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,520
Say so, Father, we thank you for
your presence, we honor you, we 

1170
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,440
love you, We thank you, Lord, in
Jesus mighty name, Amen.
