00:03:37.197 --> 00:03:38.832
For a divine purpose, and it was to praise and worship
00:03:38.899 --> 00:03:42.202
And it was to praise and worship and bring glory to god.
00:03:42.269 --> 00:03:45.406
And bring glory to god. when lucifer --
00:03:45.472 --> 00:03:46.807
When lucifer -- in heaven, as isaiah 6
00:03:46.874 --> 00:03:49.276
In heaven, as isaiah 6 talks about the lord
00:03:49.343 --> 00:03:51.111
Talks about the lord would fill --
00:03:51.178 --> 00:03:52.680
Would fill -- his glory would fill the temple,
00:03:52.746 --> 00:03:54.815
His glory would fill the temple, and the angels would begin
00:03:54.882 --> 00:03:55.582
And the angels would begin the saying, "holy, holy, holy,"
00:03:55.649 --> 00:03:58.152
The saying, "holy, holy, holy," and it would be lucifer,
00:03:58.218 --> 00:04:00.187
And it would be lucifer, who for centuries of creation
00:04:00.254 --> 00:04:02.856
Who for centuries of creation would lead the worship
00:04:02.923 --> 00:04:04.591
Would lead the worship in heaven.
00:04:04.658 --> 00:04:05.559
In heaven. it was --
00:04:05.626 --> 00:04:06.727
It was -- it was unbelievable.
00:04:06.794 --> 00:04:08.062
It was unbelievable. he was beautiful.
00:04:08.128 --> 00:04:09.596
He was beautiful. he had these stones
00:04:09.663 --> 00:04:12.099
He had these stones in his being,
00:04:12.166 --> 00:04:13.133
In his being, and when the light
00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:14.268
And when the light or the light bearer
00:04:14.335 --> 00:04:15.602
Or the light bearer would light up
00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:15.969
Would light up as the glory filled
00:04:16.036 --> 00:04:17.371
As the glory filled the temple,
00:04:17.438 --> 00:04:18.839
The temple, that light would shoot
00:04:18.906 --> 00:04:20.174
That light would shoot through those colored stones,
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:21.975
Through those colored stones, each one if those stones
00:04:22.042 --> 00:04:23.110
Each one if those stones being a different color,
00:04:23.177 --> 00:04:24.611
Being a different color, and it would be like
00:04:24.678 --> 00:04:25.446
And it would be like a kaleidoscope of worship,
00:04:25.512 --> 00:04:28.215
A kaleidoscope of worship, even in the pageantry
00:04:28.282 --> 00:04:30.351
Even in the pageantry of worshipping the almighty god.
00:04:30.417 --> 00:04:33.120
Of worshipping the almighty god. and then lucifer would explode,
00:04:33.187 --> 00:04:35.055
And then lucifer would explode, and he had stringed instruments
00:04:35.122 --> 00:04:37.057
And he had stringed instruments in his body that would begin
00:04:37.124 --> 00:04:38.926
In his body that would begin to vibrate with worship,
00:04:38.992 --> 00:04:40.627
To vibrate with worship, and praise.
00:04:40.694 --> 00:04:42.563
And praise. and percussion instruments
00:04:42.629 --> 00:04:44.164
And percussion instruments in his body, music --
00:04:44.231 --> 00:04:46.333
In his body, music -- no wonder the enemy uses
00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:48.535
No wonder the enemy uses music in the arts
00:04:48.602 --> 00:04:49.603
Music in the arts and entertainment,
00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:50.971
And entertainment, he is the original created
00:04:51.038 --> 00:04:55.476
He is the original created with those particular gifts.
00:04:55.542 --> 00:04:58.212
With those particular gifts. and they would burst forth
00:04:58.278 --> 00:05:00.481
And they would burst forth in its deep expression
00:05:00.547 --> 00:05:02.216
In its deep expression of adoration and praise
00:05:02.282 --> 00:05:03.650
Of adoration and praise unto god.
00:05:03.717 --> 00:05:06.820
Unto god. and then there came a day

00:05:13.093 --> 00:05:14.128
The devil has not always been a devil.
00:05:14.194 --> 00:05:17.064
Always been a devil. he used to be lucifer,
00:05:17.131 --> 00:05:18.365
He used to be lucifer, the anointed cherub
00:05:18.432 --> 00:05:22.136
The anointed cherub but there came a day
00:05:22.202 --> 00:05:23.203
But there came a day when he chose to become
00:05:23.270 --> 00:05:25.072
When he chose to become the devil.
00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:28.075
The devil. when i think about
00:05:28.142 --> 00:05:30.677
When i think about how important praise is,
00:05:30.744 --> 00:05:33.280
How important praise is, how important worship is,
00:05:33.347 --> 00:05:34.982
How important worship is, how that when lucifer
00:05:35.048 --> 00:05:36.784
How that when lucifer was cast out of heaven,
00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:39.620
Was cast out of heaven, you and i, the high priest
00:05:39.686 --> 00:05:41.688
You and i, the high priest in the old testament
00:05:41.755 --> 00:05:42.556
In the old testament would wear those same stones
00:05:42.623 --> 00:05:44.591
Would wear those same stones on the breastplate
00:05:44.658 --> 00:05:46.126
On the breastplate when he would go into
00:05:46.193 --> 00:05:47.060
When he would go into the holy of holies,
00:05:47.127 --> 00:05:49.062
The holy of holies, because we are
00:05:49.129 --> 00:05:50.798
Because we are satan's replacement,
00:05:50.864 --> 00:05:52.332
Satan's replacement, we are lucifer,
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:53.600
We are lucifer, the light bearer's replacement.
00:05:53.667 --> 00:05:55.269
The light bearer's replacement. when we sing,
00:05:55.335 --> 00:05:56.236
When we sing, and when we worship,
00:05:56.303 --> 00:05:57.204
And when we worship, and when we praise,
00:05:57.271 --> 00:05:58.539
And when we praise, and when we speak
00:05:58.605 --> 00:05:59.273
And when we speak praise to god,
00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:00.507
Praise to god, and thank god,
00:06:00.574 --> 00:06:01.308
And thank god, and give him honor,
00:06:01.375 --> 00:06:02.276
And give him honor, and give him glory,
00:06:02.342 --> 00:06:03.310
And give him glory, we are literally
00:06:03.377 --> 00:06:05.012
We are literally taking his place.
00:06:05.078 --> 00:06:08.816
Taking his place. and i'm so thankful today
00:06:08.882 --> 00:06:10.184
And i'm so thankful today that whom the son sets free,
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:12.519
That whom the son sets free, is free indeed.
00:06:12.586 --> 00:06:15.222
Is free indeed. that we are liberated,
00:06:15.289 --> 00:06:17.558
That we are liberated, and we are set free
00:06:17.624 --> 00:06:18.792
And we are set free but we are here for a purpose,
00:06:18.859 --> 00:06:21.895
But we are here for a purpose, he did not just save us
00:06:21.962 --> 00:06:23.864
He did not just save us to save us.
00:06:23.931 --> 00:06:25.833
To save us. as a matter of fact,
00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:26.700
As a matter of fact, the bible said
00:06:26.767 --> 00:06:27.468
The bible said in 1 peter 2:9,
00:06:27.534 --> 00:06:30.170
In 1 peter 2:9, "you are a chosen generation,
00:06:30.237 --> 00:06:33.373
"you are a chosen generation, you are a royal priesthood,
00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:36.844
You are a royal priesthood, you are a holy nation,
00:06:36.910 --> 00:06:39.947
You are a holy nation, you are a peculiar,
00:06:40.013 --> 00:06:42.449
You are a peculiar, a special people in the earth."
00:06:42.516 --> 00:06:44.718
A special people in the earth." who's he talking to?
00:06:44.785 --> 00:06:46.119
Who's he talking to? the people who have been
00:06:46.186 --> 00:06:47.454
The people who have been washed and cleansed
00:06:47.521 --> 00:06:49.089
Washed and cleansed and save by the blood
00:06:49.156 --> 00:06:50.324
And save by the blood of jesus christ.
00:06:50.390 --> 00:06:52.326
Of jesus christ. and he says, "here's why
00:06:52.392 --> 00:06:53.427
And he says, "here's why you're chosen,
00:06:53.494 --> 00:06:54.261
You're chosen, you're royal,
00:06:54.328 --> 00:06:55.262
You're royal, you're holy,
00:06:55.329 --> 00:06:56.330
You're holy, you're peculiar people,
00:06:56.396 --> 00:06:57.865
You're peculiar people, he says that you would
00:06:57.931 --> 00:06:58.866
He says that you would show forth the praises of him,
00:06:58.932 --> 00:07:02.703
Show forth the praises of him, who's called you out of darkness
00:07:02.769 --> 00:07:04.571
Who's called you out of darkness into this marvelous light."
00:07:04.638 --> 00:07:06.440
Into this marvelous light." that's not just
00:07:06.507 --> 00:07:07.040
That's not just some figure of speech.
00:07:07.107 --> 00:07:08.375
Some figure of speech. he said, "there is one purpose
00:07:08.442 --> 00:07:10.611
He said, "there is one purpose for which you have been saved,
00:07:10.677 --> 00:07:12.946
For which you have been saved, now that you are saved,
00:07:13.013 --> 00:07:14.414
Now that you are saved, that in whatever you do in life
00:07:14.481 --> 00:07:16.817
That in whatever you do in life you give praise, and glory,
00:07:16.884 --> 00:07:19.286
You give praise, and glory, and honor to god,
00:07:19.353 --> 00:07:21.154
And honor to god, you replace lucifer
00:07:21.221 --> 00:07:22.823
You replace lucifer with your praise.
00:07:22.890 --> 00:07:24.091
With your praise. you don't take the glory,
00:07:24.157 --> 00:07:25.592
You don't take the glory, you don't keep it
00:07:25.659 --> 00:07:26.393
You don't keep it inside to yourself,
00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:27.995
Inside to yourself, but you give god the glory,
00:07:28.061 --> 00:07:30.397
But you give god the glory, and you give god the praise."
00:07:30.464 --> 00:07:32.900
And you give god the praise." i just --
00:07:32.966 --> 00:07:33.634
I just -- i just wanna praise him
00:07:33.700 --> 00:07:35.068
I just wanna praise him this morning
00:07:35.135 --> 00:07:36.236
This morning that i am saved
00:07:36.303 --> 00:07:38.405
That i am saved and i'm satisfied.
00:07:38.472 --> 00:07:40.240
And i'm satisfied. i am happily saved
00:07:40.307 --> 00:07:43.510
I am happily saved and am satisfied.
00:07:43.577 --> 00:07:45.612
And am satisfied. i'm not only saved from sin,
00:07:45.679 --> 00:07:48.515
I'm not only saved from sin, but i'm satisfied
00:07:48.582 --> 00:07:50.350
But i'm satisfied and i don't crave it
00:07:50.417 --> 00:07:51.585
And i don't crave it anymore, hallelujah.
00:07:51.652 --> 00:07:53.687
Anymore, hallelujah. i thank god i'm not burning
00:07:53.754 --> 00:07:55.355
I thank god i'm not burning for drugs this morning.
00:07:55.422 --> 00:07:56.990
For drugs this morning. i'm not burning
00:07:57.057 --> 00:07:57.824
I'm not burning in lust this morning.
00:07:57.891 --> 00:07:59.593
In lust this morning. i'm not burning
00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:01.194
I'm not burning to have an affair
00:08:01.261 --> 00:08:02.029
To have an affair or go out and be drunk today.
00:08:02.095 --> 00:08:05.032
Or go out and be drunk today. i am thankful that
00:08:05.098 --> 00:08:06.934
I am thankful that i'm saved and i'm satisfied.
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.103
I'm saved and i'm satisfied. i'm not saved and miserable,
00:08:10.170 --> 00:08:12.372
I'm not saved and miserable, i'm not saved and crying over
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.675
I'm not saved and crying over what i can't do
00:08:14.741 --> 00:08:15.876
What i can't do and where i can't go.
00:08:15.943 --> 00:08:17.344
And where i can't go. i'm so happy i'm free.
00:08:17.411 --> 00:08:20.614
I'm so happy i'm free. i'm so happy i'm saved
00:08:20.681 --> 00:08:23.784
I'm so happy i'm saved and i'm satisfied.
00:08:23.850 --> 00:08:26.386
And i'm satisfied. i don't want anything
00:08:26.453 --> 00:08:28.755
I don't want anything that pulls me further away
00:08:28.822 --> 00:08:30.223
That pulls me further away from jesus.
00:08:30.290 --> 00:08:33.694
From jesus. and if i do have a tendency,
00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:36.597
And if i do have a tendency, and i still do,
00:08:36.663 --> 00:08:37.397
And i still do, doesn't mean you're sinless,
00:08:37.464 --> 00:08:38.732
Doesn't mean you're sinless, but when you do have
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:40.901
But when you do have a born-again experience,
00:08:40.968 --> 00:08:42.569
A born-again experience, your nature has changed
00:08:42.636 --> 00:08:44.504
Your nature has changed and i have to fight
00:08:44.571 --> 00:08:46.206
And i have to fight the little voice that says,
00:08:46.273 --> 00:08:47.507
The little voice that says, "that's not right.
00:08:47.574 --> 00:08:48.108
"that's not right. you're not --
00:08:48.175 --> 00:08:48.609
You're not -- that's not who you are,
00:08:48.675 --> 00:08:49.810
That's not who you are, that's not your new identity."
00:08:49.876 --> 00:08:51.345
That's not your new identity." and that's a blessing.
00:08:51.411 --> 00:08:54.581
And that's a blessing. praise is our purpose.
00:08:54.648 --> 00:08:56.416
Praise is our purpose. we were raised to praise.
00:08:56.483 --> 00:08:59.086
We were raised to praise. he brought us from death
00:08:59.152 --> 00:09:00.354
He brought us from death to life to worship,
00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:01.888
To life to worship, and he said,
00:09:01.955 --> 00:09:02.489
And he said, "let everything
00:09:02.556 --> 00:09:04.091
"let everything that has breath,"
00:09:04.157 --> 00:09:05.492
That has breath," psalms 150, "praise the lord."
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.596
Psalms 150, "praise the lord." do you know that in
00:09:09.663 --> 00:09:10.197
Do you know that in the book of genesis 2,
00:09:10.263 --> 00:09:12.299
The book of genesis 2, god breathe breath
00:09:12.366 --> 00:09:13.567
God breathe breath into the nostrils of man,
00:09:13.634 --> 00:09:15.202
Into the nostrils of man, and he became a living being?
00:09:15.268 --> 00:09:17.037
And he became a living being? and then before jesus left on
00:09:17.104 --> 00:09:18.972
And then before jesus left on a cloudy elevator
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.107
A cloudy elevator and went to heaven,
00:09:20.173 --> 00:09:20.941
And went to heaven, the bible said
00:09:21.008 --> 00:09:21.708
The bible said he breathe on them and said,
00:09:21.775 --> 00:09:23.777
He breathe on them and said, "receive the holy ghost."
00:09:23.844 --> 00:09:26.480
"receive the holy ghost." or the holy spirit.
00:09:26.546 --> 00:09:28.615
Or the holy spirit. in other words,
00:09:28.682 --> 00:09:29.349
In other words, the holy spirit is nothing less
00:09:29.416 --> 00:09:31.551
The holy spirit is nothing less than the breath of god.
00:09:31.618 --> 00:09:32.886
Than the breath of god. and what he was saying was,
00:09:32.953 --> 00:09:34.454
And what he was saying was, "let everything that has
00:09:34.521 --> 00:09:35.822
"let everything that has the breath of god in it,
00:09:35.889 --> 00:09:37.491
The breath of god in it, those who have been redeemed,
00:09:37.557 --> 00:09:38.992
Those who have been redeemed, let them praise the lord
00:09:39.059 --> 00:09:41.595
Let them praise the lord with that breath."
00:09:41.662 --> 00:09:43.030
With that breath." now, if you don't have
00:09:43.096 --> 00:09:43.964
Now, if you don't have the breath of god
00:09:44.031 --> 00:09:45.098
The breath of god on your soul,
00:09:45.165 --> 00:09:46.099
On your soul, then you sit there,
00:09:46.166 --> 00:09:47.534
Then you sit there, but if you have
00:09:47.601 --> 00:09:48.635
But if you have the breath of god,
00:09:48.702 --> 00:09:49.970
The breath of god, that means let everything
00:09:50.037 --> 00:09:53.373
That means let everything that has the breath --
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.676
That has the breath -- i'm alive today,
00:09:55.742 --> 00:09:57.911
I'm alive today, and i'm saved,
00:09:57.978 --> 00:09:59.279
And i'm saved, and i'm satisfied.
00:09:59.346 --> 00:10:01.882
And i'm satisfied. woah!
00:10:01.948 --> 00:10:03.116
Woah! come on and take
00:10:03.183 --> 00:10:03.950
Come on and take a praise break.
00:10:04.017 --> 00:10:05.819
A praise break. you forgot how lost you were,
00:10:05.886 --> 00:10:08.321
You forgot how lost you were, you forgot how
00:10:08.388 --> 00:10:09.623
You forgot how hell bound you were,
00:10:09.690 --> 00:10:10.924
Hell bound you were, but he reached down
00:10:10.991 --> 00:10:12.793
But he reached down his hand for me.
00:10:12.859 --> 00:10:14.828
His hand for me. to god be the glory!
00:10:14.895 --> 00:10:16.196
To god be the glory! and as long as i have breath,
00:10:16.263 --> 00:10:18.699
And as long as i have breath, i'm going to praise him,
00:10:18.765 --> 00:10:20.734
I'm going to praise him, how about you?
00:10:20.801 --> 00:10:21.568
How about you? [applause]
00:10:21.635 --> 00:10:24.104
[applause] hallelujah!
00:10:24.171 --> 00:10:25.872
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
00:10:25.939 --> 00:10:27.140
Hallelujah! we were justified to glorify.
00:10:27.207 --> 00:10:30.711
We were justified to glorify. we were liberated to love him.
00:10:30.777 --> 00:10:33.580
We were liberated to love him. he took those cigarettes
00:10:33.647 --> 00:10:35.182
He took those cigarettes out of your hands
00:10:35.248 --> 00:10:36.450
Out of your hands so you could clap them
00:10:36.516 --> 00:10:37.884
So you could clap them and praise him.
00:10:37.951 --> 00:10:39.386
And praise him. he took that weed
00:10:39.453 --> 00:10:40.754
He took that weed out of your fingers
00:10:40.821 --> 00:10:41.922
Out of your fingers so you could raise them
00:10:41.988 --> 00:10:43.690
So you could raise them and say, "i've been delivered."
00:10:43.757 --> 00:10:45.292
And say, "i've been delivered." to god be the glory!
00:10:45.358 --> 00:10:47.427
To god be the glory! i'm so glad a vape
00:10:47.494 --> 00:10:48.762
I'm so glad a vape doesn't get my breath,
00:10:48.829 --> 00:10:50.097
Doesn't get my breath, god gets my breath!
00:10:50.163 --> 00:10:52.232
God gets my breath! with every breath that i have,
00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:53.967
With every breath that i have, i'm going to praise him!
00:10:54.034 --> 00:10:55.702
I'm going to praise him! my body belongs to god.
00:10:55.769 --> 00:10:57.571
My body belongs to god. my lips belong to god.
00:10:57.637 --> 00:11:00.340
My lips belong to god. my voice belongs to god.
00:11:00.407 --> 00:11:02.976
My voice belongs to god. my ears belong to god.

I'm gonna give him praise. shake those sin
00:11:07.948 --> 00:11:09.316
Shake those sin shackles off your feet.
00:11:09.382 --> 00:11:10.717
Shackles off your feet. you used to dance in the club
00:11:10.784 --> 00:11:12.686
You used to dance in the club like a wild person,
00:11:12.753 --> 00:11:14.387
Like a wild person, but you sit there like
00:11:14.454 --> 00:11:15.555
But you sit there like a wooden minion this morning.
00:11:15.622 --> 00:11:17.324
A wooden minion this morning. my god, every once in a while,
00:11:17.390 --> 00:11:19.259
My god, every once in a while, you ought to get up off
00:11:19.326 --> 00:11:21.461
You ought to get up off your blessed assurance
00:11:21.528 --> 00:11:22.662
Your blessed assurance and give him a praise
00:11:22.729 --> 00:11:24.865
And give him a praise because he deserves
00:11:24.931 --> 00:11:26.600
Because he deserves a stand innovation, hallelujah!

[applause] he took your profanity
00:11:34.474 --> 00:11:36.576
He took your profanity out of your mouth
00:11:36.643 --> 00:11:37.778
Out of your mouth so you could praise.
00:11:37.844 --> 00:11:39.179
So you could praise. how many of you
00:11:39.246 --> 00:11:40.013
How many of you used to cuss people out?
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.715
Used to cuss people out? how many of you used to,
00:11:41.782 --> 00:11:43.016
How many of you used to, at the slightest provocation,
00:11:43.083 --> 00:11:44.985
At the slightest provocation, just throw up a half peace sign
00:11:45.051 --> 00:11:47.420
Just throw up a half peace sign and start cussing,

At a ball game, we can go crazy for jesus.
00:12:06.606 --> 00:12:09.042
We can go crazy for jesus. we can get loud for jesus.
00:12:09.109 --> 00:12:11.311

Old-fashion worship, where we unapologetically
00:12:52.185 --> 00:12:55.856
Where we unapologetically start getting a fire
00:12:55.922 --> 00:12:57.324
Start getting a fire burning in people.
00:12:57.390 --> 00:12:58.792
Burning in people. you know,
00:12:58.859 --> 00:12:59.292
You know, in the old pentecostal church

I grew up in, the baptists used to come
00:13:02.329 --> 00:13:03.630
The baptists used to come on sunday night
00:13:03.697 --> 00:13:04.698
On sunday night to watch us burn, hallelujah!
00:13:04.764 --> 00:13:06.800
To watch us burn, hallelujah! now, i was born in the fire
00:13:06.867 --> 00:13:09.436
Now, i was born in the fire and i can't live in the smoke,
00:13:09.502 --> 00:13:11.338
And i can't live in the smoke, i gotta have some
00:13:11.404 --> 00:13:12.305
I gotta have some praise around me.
00:13:12.372 --> 00:13:13.807
Praise around me. i want my children
00:13:13.874 --> 00:13:15.275
I want my children to grow up in a church
00:13:15.342 --> 00:13:16.710
To grow up in a church where people shout
00:13:16.776 --> 00:13:17.777
Where people shout and praise the lord,
00:13:17.844 --> 00:13:19.346
And praise the lord, and they're not ashamed.
00:13:19.412 --> 00:13:21.047
And they're not ashamed. and you can make fun of it,
00:13:21.114 --> 00:13:22.382
And you can make fun of it, and you can belittle it
00:13:22.449 --> 00:13:23.850
And you can belittle it but i tell you one thing,
00:13:23.917 --> 00:13:25.719
But i tell you one thing, when you find out
00:13:25.785 --> 00:13:26.920
When you find out what we're shouting about,

Why not give him great praise? for this purpose,
00:14:09.496 --> 00:14:10.530

You ought not to become uppity the more god blesses you,

The more god blesses you, it ought to humble you,

[applause] you know what keeps you
00:17:57.891 --> 00:18:00.393
You know what keeps you in a heavenly atmosphere?
00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:04.364
In a heavenly atmosphere? the only thing is worship.
00:18:04.430 --> 00:18:08.735
The only thing is worship. you think it's something small,
00:18:08.801 --> 00:18:11.471
You think it's something small, you think it's something
00:18:11.538 --> 00:18:12.238
You think it's something you do at church
00:18:12.305 --> 00:18:15.642
You do at church but if you ever learn the secret
00:18:15.708 --> 00:18:17.544
But if you ever learn the secret of praising the lord
00:18:17.610 --> 00:18:19.379
Of praising the lord in the good times
00:18:19.445 --> 00:18:20.547
In the good times and the bad times,
00:18:20.613 --> 00:18:22.482
And the bad times, worshipping him,
00:18:22.549 --> 00:18:23.616
Worshipping him, putting on music,
00:18:23.683 --> 00:18:25.051
Putting on music, listening, playing,
00:18:25.118 --> 00:18:27.020
Listening, playing, singing songs,
00:18:27.086 --> 00:18:28.454
Singing songs, ephesians 5, singing songs,
00:18:28.521 --> 00:18:29.889
Ephesians 5, singing songs, spiritual songs, singing,
00:18:29.956 --> 00:18:31.124
Spiritual songs, singing, making melody in your heart
00:18:31.191 --> 00:18:32.258
Making melody in your heart unto the lord.
00:18:32.325 --> 00:18:35.161
Unto the lord. singing praise to him,
00:18:35.228 --> 00:18:37.163
Singing praise to him, not for the audience
00:18:37.230 --> 00:18:38.097
Not for the audience when people are watching.
00:18:38.164 --> 00:18:40.833
When people are watching. my greatest times of worship
00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:42.302
My greatest times of worship are in my office
00:18:42.368 --> 00:18:43.469
Are in my office or walking through the woods,
00:18:43.536 --> 00:18:45.605
Or walking through the woods, or sitting at my piano
00:18:45.672 --> 00:18:46.873
Or sitting at my piano when nobody's there,
00:18:46.940 --> 00:18:49.542
When nobody's there, and just singing to the lord,
00:18:49.609 --> 00:18:51.144
And just singing to the lord, playing to the lord,
00:18:51.211 --> 00:18:52.478
Playing to the lord, picking up my horn,
00:18:52.545 --> 00:18:54.380
Picking up my horn, and playing my sax,
00:18:54.447 --> 00:18:55.982
And playing my sax, and just praising
00:18:56.049 --> 00:18:56.683
And just praising the lord to myself.
00:18:56.749 --> 00:18:59.452
The lord to myself. singing a song from me to him.
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:04.724
Singing a song from me to him. it's gotten me through
00:19:04.791 --> 00:19:05.725
It's gotten me through everything i've ever
00:19:05.792 --> 00:19:06.759
Everything i've ever faced and fought.
00:19:06.826 --> 00:19:09.128
Faced and fought. every demon, and every devil
00:19:09.195 --> 00:19:10.463
Every demon, and every devil that tried to kill, steal,
00:19:10.530 --> 00:19:11.998
That tried to kill, steal, and destroy our family,
00:19:12.065 --> 00:19:13.533
And destroy our family, destroy this ministry,
00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:15.969
Destroy this ministry, i learned how to put
00:19:16.035 --> 00:19:16.903
I learned how to put on the garment of praise
00:19:16.970 --> 00:19:18.204
On the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
00:19:18.271 --> 00:19:21.040
For the spirit of heaviness. life will beat you down,
00:19:21.107 --> 00:19:22.709
Life will beat you down, life will kick you
00:19:22.775 --> 00:19:23.476
Life will kick you in the teeth,
00:19:23.543 --> 00:19:24.310
In the teeth, life will bloody you up,
00:19:24.377 --> 00:19:26.145
Life will bloody you up, but i'll tell you
00:19:26.212 --> 00:19:27.080
But i'll tell you what paul and silas teach us,
00:19:27.146 --> 00:19:28.748
What paul and silas teach us, they teach us, "as long as
00:19:28.815 --> 00:19:30.283
They teach us, "as long as i've got a praise there is," --
00:19:30.350 --> 00:19:32.285
I've got a praise there is," -- they took a beaten
00:19:32.352 --> 00:19:33.519
They took a beaten but they said,
00:19:33.586 --> 00:19:34.020
But they said, "as long as i've got a praise,
00:19:34.087 --> 00:19:35.488
"as long as i've got a praise, i'll get out of this,
00:19:35.555 --> 00:19:37.257
I'll get out of this, i'll break loose of this prison,
00:19:37.323 --> 00:19:39.325
I'll break loose of this prison, i'll see god's goodness
00:19:39.392 --> 00:19:41.060
I'll see god's goodness in the land of the living."
00:19:41.127 --> 00:19:42.795
In the land of the living." have you still got a praise?
00:19:42.862 --> 00:19:44.497
Have you still got a praise? i don't care
00:19:44.564 --> 00:19:45.231
I don't care how you're bleeding,
00:19:45.298 --> 00:19:46.132
How you're bleeding, i don't care how you're broken,
00:19:46.199 --> 00:19:47.867
I don't care how you're broken, if you still got a praise,
00:19:47.934 --> 00:19:49.936
If you still got a praise, you will come out
00:19:50.003 --> 00:19:51.671
You will come out and see the goodness
00:19:51.738 --> 00:19:53.273
And see the goodness of the lord
00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:54.440
Of the lord in the land of the living.
00:19:54.507 --> 00:19:55.808
In the land of the living. somebody offer him
00:19:55.875 --> 00:19:56.976
Somebody offer him a sacrifice of praise,
00:19:57.043 --> 00:20:00.146
A sacrifice of praise, out of a bloody battle.
00:20:00.213 --> 00:20:02.282
There's something powerful,
00:20:11.357 --> 00:20:12.558
There's something powerful, lucifer, he was
00:20:12.625 --> 00:20:14.193
Lucifer, he was heaven's choir director,
00:20:14.260 --> 00:20:15.395
Heaven's choir director, he was the worship leader
00:20:15.461 --> 00:20:17.330
He was the worship leader in heaven, he --
00:20:17.397 --> 00:20:19.098
In heaven, he -- until iniquity was found in him
00:20:19.165 --> 00:20:22.769
Until iniquity was found in him and he was dismissed,
00:20:22.835 --> 00:20:24.170
And he was dismissed, and he was demoted,
00:20:24.237 --> 00:20:27.040
And he was demoted, and he was distanced
00:20:27.106 --> 00:20:29.342
And he was distanced from the throne of god.
00:20:29.409 --> 00:20:32.979
From the throne of god. and you and i sinned,
00:20:33.046 --> 00:20:36.983
And you and i sinned, and jesus, god put on skin
00:20:37.050 --> 00:20:39.986
And jesus, god put on skin and came down,
00:20:40.053 --> 00:20:40.486
And came down, and bled and died,
00:20:40.553 --> 00:20:41.988
And bled and died, and carried a rugged cross
00:20:42.055 --> 00:20:45.224
And carried a rugged cross to pay the way for us
00:20:45.291 --> 00:20:47.527
To pay the way for us to some back to him,
00:20:47.593 --> 00:20:48.961
To some back to him, but when lucifer sinned,
00:20:49.028 --> 00:20:51.397
But when lucifer sinned, god said, "you are banned
00:20:51.464 --> 00:20:54.434
God said, "you are banned from the throne room,
00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:56.235
From the throne room, i will never allow you back,
00:20:56.302 --> 00:20:58.471
I will never allow you back, there is no way back."
00:20:58.538 --> 00:21:00.440
There is no way back." why?
00:21:00.506 --> 00:21:00.973
Why? what did he do
00:21:01.040 --> 00:21:02.542
What did he do that was so horrible?
00:21:02.608 --> 00:21:04.777
That was so horrible? did he murder masses of people?
00:21:04.844 --> 00:21:09.982
Did he murder masses of people? no, his sin was pride,
00:21:10.049 --> 00:21:13.419
No, his sin was pride, self-exaltation and rebellion,
00:21:13.486 --> 00:21:16.155
Self-exaltation and rebellion, that's the inwards sin.
00:21:16.222 --> 00:21:17.223
That's the inwards sin. but notice this,
00:21:17.290 --> 00:21:18.124
But notice this, the outward manifestation
00:21:18.191 --> 00:21:20.259
The outward manifestation of inward pride
00:21:20.326 --> 00:21:21.561
Of inward pride and self-exaltation
00:21:21.627 --> 00:21:22.962
And self-exaltation was the refusal to worship.
00:21:23.029 --> 00:21:26.999
Was the refusal to worship. see, worship is not
00:21:27.066 --> 00:21:28.368
See, worship is not this out here
00:21:28.434 --> 00:21:29.302
This out here that you do on the outside,
00:21:29.369 --> 00:21:30.903
That you do on the outside, worship is what's on the inside.
00:21:30.970 --> 00:21:33.806
Worship is what's on the inside. if you don't have any worship,
00:21:33.873 --> 00:21:38.077
If you don't have any worship, do you have anything
00:21:38.144 --> 00:21:39.579
Do you have anything on the inside?
00:21:39.645 --> 00:21:40.546
On the inside? the more you have going on
00:21:40.613 --> 00:21:42.382
The more you have going on on the inside,
00:21:42.448 --> 00:21:43.883
On the inside, the more your outside
00:21:43.950 --> 00:21:45.785
The more your outside wants to express what you feel.
00:21:45.852 --> 00:21:49.622
Wants to express what you feel. john 4, "they that worship,
00:21:49.689 --> 00:21:53.459
John 4, "they that worship, must worship in spirit
00:21:53.526 --> 00:21:54.660
Must worship in spirit and in truth."
00:21:54.727 --> 00:21:56.596
And in truth." and the hour has come --

This is so good. the hour has come
00:22:00.533 --> 00:22:03.336
The hour has come that the spirit
00:22:03.403 --> 00:22:05.538
That the spirit is searching and seeking --
00:22:05.605 --> 00:22:09.876
Is searching and seeking -- i mean, i've sought god
00:22:09.942 --> 00:22:12.078
I mean, i've sought god but there is a way
00:22:12.145 --> 00:22:13.646
But there is a way you can reverse it
00:22:13.713 --> 00:22:14.814
You can reverse it to where god says,
00:22:14.881 --> 00:22:16.082
To where god says, "i'll search the earth for you
00:22:16.149 --> 00:22:19.585
"i'll search the earth for you if you're a worshipper."

00:24:38.124 --> 00:24:39.892
It was the worst massacre
00:24:39.992 --> 00:24:40.993
The jewish people experienced
00:24:41.093 --> 00:24:42.495
Since the holocaust.
00:24:42.595 --> 00:24:44.497
The eshkol region
00:24:44.597 --> 00:24:45.565
In southern israel
00:24:45.665 --> 00:24:46.566
Was attacked directly.
00:24:46.666 --> 00:24:48.267
Women faced
00:24:48.367 --> 00:24:48.968
Unspeakable atrocities.
00:24:49.068 --> 00:24:51.170
Infants were assassinated.
00:24:51.270 --> 00:24:53.105
Numerous families
00:24:53.205 --> 00:24:54.040
Were burnt alive,
00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:55.474
And both mothers
00:24:55.575 --> 00:24:56.242
And their babies
00:24:56.342 --> 00:24:57.009
And holocaust survivors
00:24:57.109 --> 00:24:58.411
Were abducted to
00:24:58.511 --> 00:24:59.312
The hamas tunnels in gaza.
00:24:59.412 --> 00:25:01.414
And now we stand
00:25:01.514 --> 00:25:02.515
At a pivotal moment,
00:25:02.615 --> 00:25:03.983
Poised to provide a lifeline
00:25:04.083 --> 00:25:05.585
For the people of eshkol,
00:25:05.685 --> 00:25:07.153
Who continue to be attacked
00:25:07.253 --> 00:25:08.487
By terrorists every day.

Ever towards the initiative,
00:25:14.894 --> 00:25:16.596
Phase number one,
00:25:18.598 --> 00:25:19.365
Provides physical safety.
00:25:19.465 --> 00:25:21.233
That is why we are building
00:25:21.334 --> 00:25:22.401
Civil defense centers,
00:25:22.501 --> 00:25:23.970
And over 800 safe houses,
00:25:24.070 --> 00:25:26.339
Making sure every family
00:25:26.439 --> 00:25:28.007
In the region has a safe room,
00:25:28.107 --> 00:25:29.542
In case of terrorist attacks.
00:25:29.642 --> 00:25:30.743
>> this is home.
00:25:31.677 --> 00:25:32.645
Israel is our place.
00:25:32.712 --> 00:25:33.713
This is the safest place
00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:34.513
We can be.
00:25:34.580 --> 00:25:36.048
And this safe room became
00:25:36.115 --> 00:25:37.450
Our little safe haven.
00:25:37.516 --> 00:25:38.684
It's something that
00:25:38.751 --> 00:25:40.119
Every single person
00:25:40.186 --> 00:25:41.120
In our area needs.
00:25:41.187 --> 00:25:42.254
I can't stress it enough
00:25:42.321 --> 00:25:44.156
That it saved our lives,
00:25:44.223 --> 00:25:45.324
It saved my husband's family
00:25:45.391 --> 00:25:46.926
Life on the 7th of october
00:25:46.993 --> 00:25:48.728
And it will continue
00:25:48.794 --> 00:25:49.829
