Speaker 3: Subscribe so we can get you these new sermons every week.
Speaker 3: I hope you're blessed today.
Speaker 1: Would you high five free people?
Speaker 2: Tell them you don't even know, you can't even imagine
Speaker 2: how good God has been to me. Wow, y'all stay standing.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be very long before I get
Speaker 2: to the word because I want to give you part
Speaker 2: two of what I started last week, and I want
Speaker 2: to talk about trusting in God. So Hello greetings, every campus. Hello,
Speaker 2: our watch party in DC. Hello everybody, God bless you.
Speaker 2: Hello to our EPAM. Y'all tell me hello back? Would
Speaker 2: you do that real quick?
Speaker 1: Online? And in the room? Where are your manners? You
Speaker 1: gotta say hello back?
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like yeall are on a delay. It's funny,
Speaker 2: but hello greetings. You know, the Lord gave me a word.
Speaker 2: He said, every time you get up to preach, remember
Speaker 2: half the people you're preaching to almost didn't come that week,
Speaker 2: and so even just to get here was a victory
Speaker 2: for them. And so I always keep that in mind
Speaker 2: when I get up to preach. One thing I want
Speaker 2: to mention real quick. It was mentioned, but I want
Speaker 2: to tell you a little bit.
Speaker 1: More about it. We are going to have an album
Speaker 1: that releases.
Speaker 2: On May nineteenth called can You Imagine?
Speaker 1: Put it in the.
Speaker 2: Comments can you imagine, and then say yes I can.
Speaker 1: And after May.
Speaker 2: Nineteenth, I won't have to imagine because I will have
Speaker 2: it on my phone. I have it on Apple Music
Speaker 2: and Spotify and Pandora and Amazon Music. I might go
Speaker 2: down to Tower Records and buy the compact disc. I
Speaker 2: got a batch of the CDs the other day. They
Speaker 2: brought me the CD and I said, this will be
Speaker 2: for one person, my mom. My mom is the only
Speaker 2: person I know who still has a way to play CDs.
Speaker 1: But it'll be May nineteenth.
Speaker 2: Me and Chris were talking and the Lord has continued
Speaker 2: giving us new songs as we've been preparing these songs.
Speaker 2: So I say, I say, May nineteenth, we get togethered
Speaker 2: Elevation Valentine, we have a night of worship, we record
Speaker 2: some new songs and sing some of those songs, and just.
Speaker 1: Keep the flow the Holy Spirit going all year long.
Speaker 1: I can't wait.
Speaker 2: We've got, We've got, I told Holly the other day,
Speaker 2: I feel like I have more sermons than I have
Speaker 2: Sundays to preach them in right now.
Speaker 1: I'm not starting a Wednesday night service though, I'm not
Speaker 1: doing that. I'm not that confident in it.
Speaker 2: But and just the songs and the sermons and just
Speaker 2: to minister from a place of overflow is what I
Speaker 2: feel like God has given me in this season.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: That means that I share with you almost directly what
Speaker 2: God is giving me, and from my own study and
Speaker 2: my own Bible reading, I don't have two files.
Speaker 1: After I've processed and studied, I bring it to you.
Speaker 2: It also means I'm going to be doing more and
Speaker 2: more of integrating the words, so you'll get a little
Speaker 2: bit one week, a little bit the next week, a
Speaker 2: little bit the next week, almost like a sermon series,
Speaker 2: but a little bit different than that. Because if you're
Speaker 2: watching this on YouTube right now, you can go watch
Speaker 2: my sermon from last week called Ugly Trust. You could
Speaker 2: turn this one off, go watch that one and then
Speaker 2: come back.
Speaker 1: It'll be discipleship on demand.
Speaker 2: And for everybody in the room, elbow your neighbor in
Speaker 2: their ribs and say get ready for this one.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: Also, hey, we've been having such a good time with
Speaker 2: these Elevation Nights that we're gonna We're adding dates in
Speaker 2: July July nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty first, Greenville, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia,
Speaker 2: and Nashville, Tennessee. I just got back from Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2: I still got my pink bracelet. I took my girls
Speaker 2: to see Taylor Swift. That was wild, felt like a
Speaker 2: women's conference in there.
Speaker 1: It was awesome.
Speaker 2: Now that's in July Elevation Nights dot com, and then
Speaker 2: we'll be back out in the.
Speaker 1: Fall October third through the twelfth.
Speaker 2: You can go to Elevation Nights dot com because we'll
Speaker 2: be in Miami, Florida, Tampa, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, Knoxville, Tennessee, Birmingham, Alabama, Lubbock, Texas, Dallas, Texas,
Speaker 2: and Houston, Texas.
Speaker 1: All right, Elevation Nights dot Com. Get there.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I want you to do, the
Speaker 2: exact opposite of what we normally do. Sit down for
Speaker 2: the scripture and let's get into it right now.
Speaker 1: Are you excited about it? Amen? Me too? This is
Speaker 1: this is a psalm.
Speaker 2: Go to Psalm thirty four, the song Trust in God, says,
Speaker 2: I sought the Lord, and he heard.
Speaker 1: And he answered.
Speaker 2: My premise last week is as simple as that sounds
Speaker 2: when we sing it. It doesn't live as simply as
Speaker 2: it sings, does it. I sought the Lord, he heard,
Speaker 2: he answered, not like a high speed internet connection anyway.
Speaker 2: I can't find Bible verses about certain things. I, as
Speaker 2: a parent, want to know how much screen time to
Speaker 2: give my kids where they can still be connected to
Speaker 2: their friends but not turn into apocalyptic zombies before they're eighteen.
Speaker 2: I can't find a Bible verse on how much screen time.
Speaker 2: I read two Timothy, one Timothy. I look for third Timothy.
Speaker 2: Paul didn't say anything about screen time.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. He just forgot to put that in,
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 2: And so our contemporary challenges often make it difficult for
Speaker 2: us to know exactly what God would have us to
Speaker 2: do in that situation. And yet God gives us timeless
Speaker 2: truth of his eternal promise that he hears us. Tell
Speaker 2: somebody next to you, he hears you. Psalm thirty four
Speaker 2: says I will bless the Lord at all times. His
Speaker 2: praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall
Speaker 2: make her boast in the Lord the humble shall hear
Speaker 2: thereof and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
Speaker 2: all of y'all who don't ever talk back in the
Speaker 2: sermon that Bible verse just testified against you.
Speaker 1: Oh, magnify the Lord with me. Little delayed, but we're
Speaker 1: getting there.
Speaker 2: Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt
Speaker 2: his name together.
Speaker 1: Here it comes.
Speaker 2: I sought the Lord, and he heard me and delivered
Speaker 2: me from all my fears. They looked unto him and
Speaker 2: were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed. This poor
Speaker 2: man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him
Speaker 2: out of all his troubles. The Angel of the Lord
Speaker 2: in campeth round about them that fear him. That's why
Speaker 2: it didn't kill you. Because the Angel of the Lord
Speaker 2: in campeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth
Speaker 2: them no taste, and see that the Lord is good.
Speaker 2: Blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Last week
Speaker 2: was called ugly trust, and this week is going to
Speaker 2: be called delayed praise. Delayed praise one of the most
Speaker 2: important things I could ever teach you, coming right now,
Speaker 2: not in a week. Right now, as I preach it,
Speaker 2: you might be watching it a year after I preached it.
Speaker 2: But it's coming to you right now. You believe that
Speaker 2: could happen. God could have me speak something today that
Speaker 2: you will need in a year and you will click
Speaker 2: on it when the battle comes that I didn't know
Speaker 2: about when I preached it, but he did.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that?
Speaker 2: Do you believe you might find this sermon boring today
Speaker 2: and then get in a battle next week and go
Speaker 2: back to it and go. I think I needed that
Speaker 2: more than I thought I needed that at the time.
Speaker 2: One of my buddies likes to say, if you have relevance,
Speaker 2: relevance to a situation, you will give more attention to it.
Speaker 2: If you have a flat tire changing, it becomes important.
Speaker 2: But a flat tire changing seminar when all four a
Speaker 2: work and probably isn't going to draw your attendance or
Speaker 2: your attention. I believe God is amazing like that delayed praise. Actually,
Speaker 2: while I was preaching last week, something was happening that
Speaker 2: was really distracting me. We had a technical difficulty to
Speaker 2: where my voice was bouncing off of one of these
Speaker 2: screens that was lower than it should have been. And
Speaker 2: so while I was talking to you, I was hearing
Speaker 2: me like a nanosecond behind my voice again, but you
Speaker 2: couldn't hear it. But I could hear myself twice. And
Speaker 2: if that's ever happened to you on a zoom call
Speaker 2: or a phone call.
Speaker 1: It is the worst thing, isn't it. You think you're
Speaker 1: going crazy.
Speaker 2: You're like, hey, hang on, hang on a second, there's
Speaker 2: a delay, and then.
Speaker 1: You're like, do I really sound like that? Is that
Speaker 1: what my voice sounds like? That sounds terrible. I'll never
Speaker 1: talk again. I'm gonna learn sign language.
Speaker 2: And that's happening right now. The message is going out
Speaker 2: on YouTube. But if I called for comments and said, hey,
Speaker 2: text put on YouTube where you're coming from or where
Speaker 2: you're watching from, I would have to stall for like
Speaker 2: fifteen or thirty seconds before it came through.
Speaker 1: And there's just a little delay on it.
Speaker 2: And I realized that that same thing is happening in
Speaker 2: your life. As I preach this word, there's another voice
Speaker 2: telling you other stuff. This side of the room is
Speaker 2: being fake today, so I'm gonna try y'all out. There's
Speaker 2: another voice where it's saying, you know, I sought the Lord,
Speaker 2: an he heard any answer. I saw the Lord any
Speaker 2: heard any answered. But it's like I saught the Lord.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you'll answer. This side is rough too.
Speaker 2: This is my last option. You are my last available.
Speaker 2: I saw it the Lord. I saught the Lord, and
Speaker 2: I sure hope he answers go. It's like in bringing
Speaker 2: you into this song, I want to be ever so
Speaker 2: careful that I give you a picture of what is
Speaker 2: really meant.
Speaker 1: When David says.
Speaker 2: I will bless or praise the Lord at all times,
Speaker 2: his praise shall continually, everybody say, continually be in my mouth.
Speaker 2: Now let's do the real life version the RLV of
Speaker 2: the Bible. I read the King James version. Now let
Speaker 2: me read the RL version. I will bless the Lord
Speaker 2: at certain times. His praise shall eventually be in my
Speaker 2: mouth when I get done venting. Then I'm gonna praise
Speaker 2: him when I get through this season. You know, we'd
Speaker 2: like to talk about seasons in church. Oh, it's been
Speaker 2: a hard season. It's a difficult season, and I'm wondering, like,
Speaker 2: what point is a season that you are in the
Speaker 2: sovereign God of your life to get to determine what
Speaker 2: you say about it and what you do about it.
Speaker 2: Because we have to remember when David wrote these songs,
Speaker 2: just like Taylor Swift writing her songs. There's a story
Speaker 2: behind every one of them. And I watched grown men
Speaker 2: weep to songs about being fifteen and twenty two the
Speaker 2: other night, forty nine year old men weeping something that
Speaker 2: Taylor went through. Then the Swifties are like, oh, that's
Speaker 2: me too. I mean, not exactly me. I wasn't fifteen,
Speaker 2: I'm fifty five. But I get where you're coming from
Speaker 2: because I've been there, Taylor.
Speaker 1: I've been there and I felt it too.
Speaker 2: I wasn't a group like I'm gonna shake it off,
Speaker 2: shake it off.
Speaker 1: I need I mean this and uh.
Speaker 2: And so when he says that now, now, now, remember this,
Speaker 2: I taught you this last week, and you come every
Speaker 2: week and you take notes and you study him, and
Speaker 2: you listen again and you listen to the sermon and
Speaker 2: you write it down. But just in case, just in
Speaker 2: case there was a little delay and you didn't remember
Speaker 2: it yet and you had some things go on.
Speaker 1: Remember that David is not writing this.
Speaker 2: Psalm from a place of his personal pain. It is
Speaker 2: based in his personal pain, but he's not writing this
Speaker 2: palm from the place of his pain.
Speaker 1: He's writing it.
Speaker 2: After he has experienced great pain and come through that
Speaker 2: pain to realize a greater purpose.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 2: And now he's looking back on the pain that he
Speaker 2: went through and he is teaching us the art of
Speaker 2: delayed praise. Now he says his praise shall continually be
Speaker 2: in my mouth at all times. And David is not
Speaker 2: saying this because Praise was the only thing he was
Speaker 2: dealing with.
Speaker 1: Praise is not contingent upon.
Speaker 2: The events of my life, not if I'm a mature Christian,
Speaker 2: And praise is not just a song that I sing.
Speaker 2: It is a way of seeing my situation, speaking about
Speaker 2: my situation and being in this world that God has
Speaker 2: placed me in. That's what I mean by praise, and
Speaker 2: that's what I mean by trust. And the reason that
Speaker 2: I trust God is not because everything happens so quickly.
Speaker 2: I praise God because there are spaces between what I
Speaker 2: believe He has called me to do and to be
Speaker 2: and to have and where I'm at right now now.
Speaker 2: The enemy wants to fill that space, just like God does.
Speaker 2: The enemy wants to fill these spaces in our life
Speaker 2: because we're all dealing with delays right now right like
Speaker 2: not just the screen on the voice or the YouTube
Speaker 2: buffering or the comments. Oh, they might have told me
Speaker 2: where they're watching from. By now I gotta go back
Speaker 2: and check.
Speaker 1: Forgot. I set that illustration up and forgot.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so there's thousands of people watching right now
Speaker 2: and they're just now getting around to telling me where
Speaker 2: they're watching from.
Speaker 1: And that's crazy, Like it takes that.
Speaker 2: Long for it to come through, And in your life
Speaker 2: sometimes it takes a lot longer for it to come through.
Speaker 2: Then you planned on and you can be free, but
Speaker 2: not by this Friday. And you can be healed from
Speaker 2: a broken heart, but not in the next hour, not
Speaker 2: by the time I say amen. And so if the
Speaker 2: devil can't trick you into thinking is never gonna happen,
Speaker 2: he'll tell you it's gonna happen so quickly that when
Speaker 2: it doesn't happen that quickly, you give up on it.
Speaker 1: So now he's got two tools.
Speaker 2: Discouragement, you're never gonna change, it's never gonna be, it'll
Speaker 2: never happen for you. If that doesn't work and you
Speaker 2: believe God, then he will use a delay to try
Speaker 2: to get you to believe that you were crazy to
Speaker 2: think that God could do that thing.
Speaker 1: In your life.
Speaker 2: We studied last week how David went crazy. Remember he
Speaker 2: had to go to Philistine territory to escape from Saul.
Speaker 1: That's the king of his own nation. That's the one
Speaker 1: who should have been mentoring him. That's the one who
Speaker 1: should have been showing David, this is how you do it.
Speaker 2: This is how we handle pressure, this is how we
Speaker 2: stand up under it. Instead, Saul spends seven years throwing
Speaker 2: spears at David.
Speaker 1: Hey, David, great news, they are gonna be a king.
Speaker 1: Bad news.
Speaker 2: Seven years of caves hiding from the king that should
Speaker 2: be helping you. Seven years between the anointing you're gonna
Speaker 2: be king and the crowning where Saul dies and David
Speaker 2: actually is that space in your life is where trust
Speaker 2: is required.
Speaker 1: Nothing else will do.
Speaker 2: Talent won't fill it because sometimes your talent is great,
Speaker 2: but your development process is still underway. Intelligence won't fix
Speaker 2: it because there's some things that you're not smart enough
Speaker 2: to know about. Nobody is. Nobody calls certain things that
Speaker 2: we go through.
Speaker 1: So no matter how.
Speaker 2: Meticulous you are in managing your life and your time,
Speaker 2: there are certain spaces that only God can fill.
Speaker 1: And that's why I.
Speaker 2: Trust him, because I sought the Lord.
Speaker 1: I sought the Lord.
Speaker 2: If David were singing this in real time, I sought
Speaker 2: the Lord, and then Saul tried to kill me. I
Speaker 2: sought the Lord, and then Saul tried to kill me.
Speaker 1: I sought the Lord.
Speaker 2: He is writing that stuff, but he's not writing while
Speaker 2: it's happening. He's looking back on that, and now he's
Speaker 2: teaching me, and he's teaching you how to trust God.
Speaker 2: And I wonder, is God teaching you to trust him
Speaker 2: right now so that you will be saying that, speaking that,
Speaker 2: and passing that down, maybe even to your own children.
Speaker 2: This is how we trust him. This is how we
Speaker 2: do it. Thank you, Montel. This and I got all
Speaker 2: kinds of psalms for y'all today.
Speaker 1: I got psalms from.
Speaker 2: The nineties, I got psalms from the BC's, I've got
Speaker 2: psalms everywhere.
Speaker 1: Now write down the word reflection somewhere. Reflection.
Speaker 2: I think that many of us underestimate the power of
Speaker 2: healthy reflection for our soul's growth. And I think the enemy.
Speaker 2: I don't like to talk about him this much in
Speaker 2: the sermon, but he messes with you so much. I
Speaker 2: want to call him out. I think he wants to
Speaker 2: get you so busy that you never do it. If
Speaker 2: every second of your life is sucked out by distracting
Speaker 2: yourself from what you feel, and you never process it
Speaker 2: with God, but instead you scroll through what somebody else
Speaker 2: wants you to think they feel.
Speaker 1: If every second.
Speaker 2: Is sucked out of your life, you can't reflect, and
Speaker 2: if you don't reflect, you can't be really blessed. You
Speaker 2: can actually be blessed from God's perspective, but not feel
Speaker 2: blessed from your perspective because you never learned to reflect.
Speaker 1: Psalm thirty four is.
Speaker 2: Teaching me how to reflect, Oh, taste and see that
Speaker 2: the Lord is good. Now that's interesting because he mentions
Speaker 2: at least two different senses. Remember, David is writing this
Speaker 2: psalm after great personal pain from a perspective of purpose,
Speaker 2: to teach us how to process our own seasons of delay.
Speaker 2: And one of the things he does is use sensory
Speaker 2: images because he's a brilliant lyricist. He's talking about taste
Speaker 2: and see that the Lord is good. But then he
Speaker 2: also says, magnify the Lord with me. So we've got
Speaker 2: a visual sense of sight, magnify, and we've got a
Speaker 2: chemical sense of taste, and I think both are telling
Speaker 2: us the same thing.
Speaker 1: It is the value of.
Speaker 2: Our experience filtered through a healthy reflection process.
Speaker 1: Let me explain. You ever had somebody in a restaurant
Speaker 1: go ah, this is terrible. Taste it. She does that
Speaker 1: to me all the time. Oh gotta taste this. This
Speaker 1: is so bad. Oh, taste this. This is what am I?
Speaker 2: Your cup bearer? I'm not mea mayah. Not tasting your
Speaker 2: poison tastes terrible to you.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 2: There's something about it. It tastes so bad. She just
Speaker 2: wants somebody else to have to be in it with
Speaker 2: their misery. Loves company, right, And so there's this thing
Speaker 2: that David is saying. He's like, I know the bitterness
Speaker 2: of wondering, are you you really going to see a
Speaker 2: breakthrough in your life or you just believe in it
Speaker 2: for nothing. I know the ashes of defeat when everything
Speaker 2: that you love has been burned to the ground. I
Speaker 2: know the taste of the isolation of the cave. But
Speaker 2: I want you to taste something else by decision. As
Speaker 2: you face this delay, the enemy tries to fill that space,
Speaker 2: that seven years space. I don't mean seven years literally,
Speaker 2: it could be longer.
Speaker 1: It could be shorter, but it's long. It's long. When
Speaker 1: you're living it. Some stuff you go back and you
Speaker 1: talk about.
Speaker 2: It, and you can say in a sentence, what took
Speaker 2: you seven years to learn in real life? True, But
Speaker 2: when you're living in it, it feels different. And that's
Speaker 2: why the benefit of distance is so great. Not only
Speaker 2: does he say taste and see that the Lord is good,
Speaker 2: he also says, oh, magnify the Lord with me. To
Speaker 2: magnify something is not to make it bigger. Magnification doesn't
Speaker 2: change the size of the object. Magnification is the process
Speaker 2: whereby you get your perspective.
Speaker 1: About what was there all along. I don't know about you.
Speaker 2: But that's why I come to church, because I need
Speaker 2: help sometimes magnifying the Lord. What I magnify in my life,
Speaker 2: I get more of.
Speaker 4: Whoop.
Speaker 2: So if I sit around with stingy, miserable people all week,
Speaker 2: don't look at them right now while I'm preaching, look
Speaker 2: straight ahead. If I sit around having low level conversations,
Speaker 2: broke down conversations, hateful conversations, stupid, ignorant conversations all week,
Speaker 2: surface level conversations.
Speaker 1: All week that never really pushed.
Speaker 5: Past all the stuff about what's going on and ot
Speaker 5: out Illuminati and out out of an out prices of
Speaker 5: the gay. If I never get past that, I can't
Speaker 5: see what's there in my life home. Magnify the Lord
Speaker 5: with me, b Yob, bring your own binoculars. You're not
Speaker 5: making God bigger, You're just making yourself more focused to
Speaker 5: realize that for every reason the devil can give you
Speaker 5: to doubt God, I can give you ten to trust him.
Speaker 2: You want me to prove it? Lift your hands. How
Speaker 2: many fingers are you lifting.
Speaker 1: Up right now?
Speaker 2: That's ten reasons right there to bless him, exalt him,
Speaker 2: and worship him. Blessed be God forever. Not clap those
Speaker 2: same hands. Put those ten fingers together. There's somebody watching me.
Speaker 2: Lost a pinky okay, nine, hey, seven, six five four.
Speaker 1: And and.
Speaker 2: I bless the Lord, I magnify him, I taste him,
Speaker 2: I experience him. The value of personal experience is worthless
Speaker 2: if not reflected upon in the light of God's goodness.
Speaker 1: And I'm not just saying keep a gratitude journal. Do that.
Speaker 2: I got all kinds of little gratitude tricks me and I.
Speaker 2: You made one up on tour. It's the best thing
Speaker 2: ever she showed me and I taught it on my
Speaker 2: YouTube channel and you can go there and see it.
Speaker 1: It's about a grateful heart. Is this stable heart? I'm
Speaker 1: not just saying that.
Speaker 2: I'm actually saying things turn into blessings as you reflect
Speaker 2: on them in time. I will bless the Lord at
Speaker 2: all times. Does that mean I'm gonna walk down the
Speaker 2: road singing Gyri this week? Does that mean I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be in a meeting and They're gonna be asking about
Speaker 2: the spreadsheet and I'll be like, I don't know about
Speaker 2: the spreadsheet. But my God is sovereign, he's holy, he's righteous,
Speaker 2: he's pure. I bless him at all times. And it's like,
Speaker 2: you can do that on your own time. This is
Speaker 2: company time. We are doing a meeting. Submit the budget,
Speaker 2: all right, So we're not turning we're not turning this
Speaker 2: beautiful psalm into some weird excuse for us to live
Speaker 2: in this other reality.
Speaker 1: It actually is the way that we.
Speaker 2: Bring God's faithfulness into this moment for the fights that
Speaker 2: you're dealing with and for the future that you're uncertain about.
Speaker 2: And it's a beautiful thing. It is a decision that
Speaker 2: you make to praise God to glorify him. To speak
Speaker 2: about the things in your life that you want to
Speaker 2: see more of, to speak about the things in your
Speaker 2: life that God has given you. There's nothing wrong with
Speaker 2: admitting the things that you wish were different and getting
Speaker 2: help with them. Stop elevating your request to people who
Speaker 2: are not supervisors.
Speaker 1: What do you think I should tell my husband?
Speaker 2: She's not married, and even if she is, she is
Speaker 2: not married to your husband.
Speaker 1: She can only take you so far.
Speaker 2: These conversations, they get real cyclical, right sick lakole, Because
Speaker 2: in the process of that, if you don't bring God
Speaker 2: into it, I'm talking about delayed praise. And I'm going
Speaker 2: to get back to that in just a moment, But
Speaker 2: for now, I want I want you to remember this
Speaker 2: about David when he wrote Psalm thirty four.
Speaker 1: He was through it when he was living it. And
Speaker 1: this may give you permission to struggle a little bit.
Speaker 2: That's why I called it ugly trust, because let me
Speaker 2: get out of the king James back. Go over to
Speaker 2: the NIV so you can see what's going on in
Speaker 2: for Samuel twenty seven, verse one. But David thought to himself,
Speaker 2: one of these days I will be destroyed by the
Speaker 2: hand of Saul. Does that sound like a guy who's
Speaker 2: confident in God's promise?
Speaker 1: But his seven years? Seven years is long.
Speaker 2: Enough to whittle away at your worship. And he thought
Speaker 2: to himself, one of these days I will be destroyed.
Speaker 1: By the hand of Saul.
Speaker 2: The best thing I can do, the next best thing.
Speaker 2: I don't like what I've got to do right now.
Speaker 2: I don't like where life has me. I don't like
Speaker 2: this situation. But the best thing I can do, because
Speaker 2: I don't know what else to do, the next best thing,
Speaker 2: the one thing I can do.
Speaker 1: He not asked to handle the next thing after.
Speaker 2: That, because I can't only focus on one thing right now,
Speaker 2: because I don't really know about all this, because it
Speaker 2: freaks me out when I try to think too far out.
Speaker 1: But the best thing I can do for now.
Speaker 2: Back least, the best thing I can do is escape
Speaker 2: to the land of the Philistines, that's the enemies. Then
Speaker 2: Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel,
Speaker 2: and I will slip out of his hand. And David
Speaker 2: did that, and for sixteen months he lived amongst his enemies.
Speaker 2: For sixteen months, he lived amongst the enemies that he
Speaker 2: would eventually defeat when he became king. Hold that. Hold
Speaker 2: that for a moment. Go back to the very first
Speaker 2: part of that verse. David thought to himself, I will
Speaker 2: bless the Lord at all times. His praise will continually
Speaker 2: be in my mouth. He thought to himself, I'm gonna die.
Speaker 2: But watch this, he said, My soul will make its
Speaker 2: boast in the Lord. What's your soul. Your soul is
Speaker 2: not your mouth. Your soul is not what your eyes see.
Speaker 2: Your soul is your mind, your will, and your emotions.
Speaker 2: Put that into comments. Your mind, your will, your emotions,
Speaker 2: your mind, your will, your emotions. He said, my soul
Speaker 2: will boast in the Lord. But we know that his
Speaker 2: mind was telling him, you're gonna die. You're not gonna
Speaker 2: get through this. This is it for you. He's gonna
Speaker 2: kill you for real this time. This is the end
Speaker 2: of the line. This is where it stops. This is
Speaker 2: where the fantasy ends. Yeah, that was cute when Samuel
Speaker 2: anointed you when you were a little boy.
Speaker 1: Samuel's dead. Now, yeah that was cute.
Speaker 2: When you saw your family back together and happy again.
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna happen. Now.
Speaker 2: This is the one they used to have a show
Speaker 2: when I was little, called Sandford and Son, and he
Speaker 2: would always say, this is the big one, Elizabeth.
Speaker 1: I'm coming to join you. Elizabeth. What is up with
Speaker 1: all my outdated pop culture references? Today? Pray for me,
Speaker 1: and David is having a moment. This is it. He's
Speaker 1: gonna kill me. This is it.
Speaker 2: There's nothing else I can do. This is the end,
Speaker 2: this is it. This one's gonna take me down.
Speaker 1: This is it.
Speaker 2: And he thought that to himself, but he said, my
Speaker 2: soul is going to boast in the Lord, and his
Speaker 2: praise will be in my mouth.
Speaker 1: Soul.
Speaker 2: His mind is saying one thing, Saul's gonna kill you,
Speaker 2: but his soul is going to say another thing. I
Speaker 2: will bless the Lord at all times, and his praise
Speaker 2: will continually be in my mouth. The mouth is gonna
Speaker 2: say God is good. The mouth is gonna say God
Speaker 2: is great. My mouth is going to say what God
Speaker 2: promised he will look acomplish.
Speaker 1: My mouth is going.
Speaker 2: To say, but he's faithful, and he's proven that my mouth.
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to give you is this simple principle.
Speaker 1: Give me my camera.
Speaker 2: Not everything that goes through your mind needs to come
Speaker 2: out of your mouth. Your mind can try to tell
Speaker 2: you all that your mind wants to tell you, Oh,
Speaker 2: this is it. But I'm a worship my thoughts. I
Speaker 2: don't even trust my thoughts. I don't bow at the
Speaker 2: altar of my thoughts. Thoughts or thoughts like clouds are clouds,
Speaker 2: like rain is rain. Let him pass over? Okay, devil,
Speaker 2: you want to tell me to kill myself, you can
Speaker 2: tell me that I'm not doing that because God has
Speaker 2: the last word in my life.
Speaker 1: I'm good live and not die. And declare the goodness
Speaker 1: of the Lord.
Speaker 2: Here's the land, open your no and say yeah, year flood,
Speaker 2: year flood.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's f.
Speaker 2: I five somebody and say, I'm gonna keep praising him.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep praising him even if I have to
Speaker 2: praise him on a delay.
Speaker 1: Watch this. Here's what I mean, a delayed praise.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the first time that you found out
Speaker 2: that live TV wasn't really live? You thought you were
Speaker 2: watching live TV until somebody cussed and the TV just
Speaker 2: went silent.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the first time. I remember the first time.
Speaker 2: I remember the first time that I learned about the
Speaker 2: seven second delay. That's what they use in TV. Now,
Speaker 2: we were talking about seven years. But let me shrink
Speaker 2: this and make it real practical. When they have a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl halftime show and things get exposed, you can
Speaker 2: google this later that are not meant to be exposed.
Speaker 2: The network cannot take the liability that you just saw
Speaker 2: that on TV because they got the FCC and the
Speaker 2: SEC and the ACC and the Big ten and well
Speaker 2: all those c's, and so they put it on a delay.
Speaker 2: Watch this so in case they need to bleep it,
Speaker 2: they have time. It was a seven second delay they
Speaker 2: have to happen. They broadcast it out seven seconds after
Speaker 2: it happens. And I'm trying to figure out do I
Speaker 2: need to put a seven second delay?
Speaker 1: Y'all getting quiet?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: This sermon is getting good?
Speaker 2: Do I need to put a seven second delay from
Speaker 2: when it comes to my mind and when it comes
Speaker 2: out of my mouth so I can start bleeping some
Speaker 2: stuff and censor myself so that I don't stay stuck
Speaker 2: in what I feel, but my soul can speak and
Speaker 2: say no, no, no, no no. We don't lie down
Speaker 2: like that, We don't fight back like that, we don't
Speaker 2: get nasty like that.
Speaker 1: Are you crazy?
Speaker 2: My friend who works in radio, he said, in radio,
Speaker 2: they call that.
Speaker 1: The dump button. I said, what is the dump button?
Speaker 2: He said, if you say something that you're not supposed
Speaker 2: to say live on the air, you go ooh, you
Speaker 2: hit a button and it takes out the last few
Speaker 2: seconds of what you said to protect them station from
Speaker 2: the liability. I said to him, they have that in radio?
Speaker 2: Do they have that in real life too? Can I
Speaker 2: have a dump button, like a live dump button in
Speaker 2: my life? Like you know, like you know, get a
Speaker 2: little sharp with somebody, you don't mean to get sharp.
Speaker 1: You say he little.
Speaker 2: Something, it was reserved and you're like, oh no, I
Speaker 2: think that went on a thought bubbleville and went into
Speaker 2: like mouth bubbleville and I.
Speaker 1: Don't know it happened. Where's my dumb button? This week?
Speaker 2: I want to I want to challenge everybody who is
Speaker 2: struggling this week. You're not struggling, you can do it
Speaker 2: next week because you'll be struggling. You ain't perfect. I
Speaker 2: want to challenge everybody who struggles with magnifying the wrong
Speaker 2: thing in your life. Everybody who is struggling with how
Speaker 2: you're speaking about this.
Speaker 1: Season always just a hard season? Is just the horrible season.
Speaker 1: I know, I get it. That season is called life
Speaker 1: on this planet.
Speaker 2: Now, tell who you need to tell, and I'll bring
Speaker 2: up all as a positive example. I'm used to it
Speaker 2: for illustration earlier on music for Goovna.
Speaker 1: She did this last night, she goes, I just I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say it, and she didn't.
Speaker 2: Y'all don't know her to know what a miracle that
Speaker 2: was that she hit that dump button. I knew I
Speaker 2: was preaching about the dump button. She didn't.
Speaker 1: She was giving me a real life illustration.
Speaker 2: Or she was about to criticize somebody, but she wasn't
Speaker 2: gonna call it criticism.
Speaker 1: Nah.
Speaker 2: We were praying for him, but something in or new
Speaker 2: that Holygo said that Holly, Holygo said, are you really
Speaker 2: praying for them right now? Can I get a dump
Speaker 2: button for the dumb stuff that the devil tells me?
Speaker 2: Can I put it even before my mouth? Can I
Speaker 2: put it where it's like, oh, I'm not gonna think
Speaker 2: about that longer? Can I put a seven second rule
Speaker 2: on that, like, okay, we're gonna worry.
Speaker 1: About that for seven seconds seven six five four.
Speaker 2: I wrote it down. I didn't even need the last three.
Speaker 2: You can have your three seconds.
Speaker 1: Back, devil. I wrote it down. I put it there.
Speaker 1: I deal with it later. Now I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 6: Wow, David found his dump button. He knew to bring
Speaker 6: that stuff to God and to do the next best thing.
Speaker 6: He knew that there needs to be a delay between
Speaker 6: what you feel wha help me and what you do.
Speaker 2: If you're thinking about going to see a therapist soon
Speaker 2: for your problems, one thing they're gonna teach you that
Speaker 2: I'll just give you for free, and then you can
Speaker 2: go on to see.
Speaker 1: Them and break it all the way down.
Speaker 2: They're gonna tell you need to put a bigger gap
Speaker 2: between the thoughts and the feelings and the actions.
Speaker 1: So you can process it and go like, is this
Speaker 1: how I want to respond? Or a dump button as
Speaker 1: me and David like to call it.
Speaker 2: I think it's important that we get this because when
Speaker 2: he says his praise will continually be in my mouth,
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that's everything that was going through his mind.
Speaker 2: It was a decision, and I'm gonna give this personally
Speaker 2: because somebody is going to be just for you. The
Speaker 2: thing he was so afraid of, God was already lining
Speaker 2: up to take care of it.
Speaker 1: And Dane, give me that one.
Speaker 2: The thing that you are afraid of God might already
Speaker 2: be taken care of.
Speaker 1: And how much time do y'all have? Okay, okay, I
Speaker 1: make your promise.
Speaker 2: I will do at least one bonus teaching this week
Speaker 2: from the Basin on this subject, and I will put
Speaker 2: it on my YouTube.
Speaker 1: At least one. I may need to do two. It
Speaker 1: was so good.
Speaker 2: Where did David go to escape from Saul to the
Speaker 2: land of the Philistines? Who was the first person that
Speaker 2: he defeated that elevates him to a place of prominence
Speaker 2: in front of the nation? Goliath from Gath, who was
Speaker 2: an uncircumcised Philistine, Right, you're like, uncircumcised? Is that really
Speaker 2: necessary to include that part? It's in the Bible. I'm
Speaker 2: not bleeping this in the Bible. When David eventually became king,
Speaker 2: you gotta get this. He was the first one who
Speaker 2: delivered the nation from the Philistines, and the Bible says.
Speaker 1: That he subdued those enemies. How did he do it?
Speaker 2: What did David know that Saul didn't that enabled him
Speaker 2: to defeat the Philistines? And when did he learn it?
Speaker 2: I suggest that in those sixteen months that he went
Speaker 2: to be a mercenary, he was learning what time they
Speaker 2: breakfast and what time they went to bed. David saw
Speaker 2: that sixteen months as a time where he was trapped.
Speaker 2: God saw it as training.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you time God did that to me?
Speaker 2: When we started this church, there were three different people,
Speaker 2: Two of them were ministries. One of them was an
Speaker 2: individual that said they were going to pay my health
Speaker 2: insurance and my salary so we could start the church because.
Speaker 1: The church didn't have that many people.
Speaker 2: And they said, we don't want you to be burning
Speaker 2: yourself out traveling and doing all this.
Speaker 1: We're going to pay it one by one.
Speaker 2: They all backed out for different reasons and no hard
Speaker 2: feelings toward them. But what I felt having a little
Speaker 2: baby because Elijah, my oldest, is the same age as
Speaker 2: the church, and we had that baby and we're moving.
Speaker 2: I remember when Chunk said, well, we just need to
Speaker 2: step up and teach people to trust God with the
Speaker 2: tithe and build the church and trust God in this area.
Speaker 1: And I thought like, wow, is that really what this
Speaker 1: is for?
Speaker 4: And it was.
Speaker 2: If I had had those people do it for me,
Speaker 2: I probably would have trusted them.
Speaker 1: Fool. I appreciative. This is not about me. I'm looking
Speaker 1: for you. If they did what I wanted them to do.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have seen what God can do. And are
Speaker 2: you in a season right now? I'm asking where God
Speaker 2: is teaching you to trust? But it doesn't feel like training.
Speaker 2: It feels like painting a fence. It doesn't feel like training.
Speaker 2: It feels like waxing a car. I might as well
Speaker 2: finish off all my references today. This is my last
Speaker 2: shot to do it. It doesn't feel like training, but
Speaker 2: it is. But you don't know that until you look
Speaker 2: back on it. You don't know that while it's happening.
Speaker 2: You don't know that while they're saying, I think we
Speaker 2: need to see other people, it's not you, it's me.
Speaker 2: It's not me, it's you. Whatever the thing is. However,
Speaker 2: however they say it, it still hurts. You don't know at
Speaker 2: the time that everybody say that there is event that
Speaker 2: you don't know about right now that God does and
Speaker 2: while the enemy is telling you.
Speaker 1: You are never going to make it through this. And
Speaker 1: I don't even know what your this is. And I
Speaker 1: wish I did, because I would speak straight to it.
Speaker 2: I would call it out by name and social Security number.
Speaker 2: If I knew exactly what y'all were fighting about, If
Speaker 2: I knew exactly what you were taking too many pills about.
Speaker 2: If I knew exactly what you were asking God for
Speaker 2: and feeling the silence of a prayer that bounces back
Speaker 2: down and you keep seeking, but it keeps eluding you,
Speaker 2: and it keeps slipping away. I would call it by name.
Speaker 2: I don't know what this is what God does. But
Speaker 2: there's something else you know that I want to remind
Speaker 2: you of today that you tend to forget in moments
Speaker 2: like this, where you have tasted the sting of your
Speaker 2: tears about the situation that God won't change, where you
Speaker 2: have tasted the air of hunger for the relationships that
Speaker 2: have left your life. A lot of times, while the
Speaker 2: enemy is saying, you're not gonna get through this. What
Speaker 2: are you gonna do about this? How are you gonna
Speaker 2: handle this? You forgot about that, and you were singing
Speaker 2: about that. You said, that's why I trust him. That's
Speaker 2: why somebody shout, that's why I want to all caps chat.
Speaker 1: All caps that.
Speaker 2: In the chat right now, from everybody. Put that in
Speaker 2: the chat right now, put a that in the chat.
Speaker 2: And when you put it in the chat, I wanted
Speaker 2: to stand for this. T things h he a already
Speaker 2: t taught me.
Speaker 1: Don't mess up the acronym things. He already that.
Speaker 2: Things he taught you in the valley that you went
Speaker 2: through before the mountain that was on the other side.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about seasons when you were broke.
Speaker 1: But he fed you like.
Speaker 2: A father feeds mena to his children.
Speaker 1: That. Yeah, that.
Speaker 2: The thing that you push through. And you didn't even
Speaker 2: know you were that strong. You fell a little cocky
Speaker 2: for three days afterwards You're like, oh, whoa, hey man.
Speaker 1: That was hard, but I did it.
Speaker 2: That. You forget that every time you go through this.
Speaker 2: But today's this is just that in the making. And
Speaker 2: so I came to preach today.
Speaker 1: Give me five minutes, I'll finish. This message is about
Speaker 1: delayed praise.
Speaker 2: What are you saying, preacher, I'm saying, thank him today for.
Speaker 1: What will only make sense later.
Speaker 2: Give him a praise right now for what you can't
Speaker 2: point to.
Speaker 1: For what you can't prove, for what.
Speaker 2: You can't verbialize, for what you can't understand. Put a
Speaker 2: praise on that, on that situation, on that misunderstanding, on
Speaker 2: that step, on that question, on that intricacy, on that struggle,
Speaker 2: on that stronghold, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not done yet.
Speaker 2: I'm not done yet because God said, we need to
Speaker 2: get you back to that. You're going through this. It's fine,
Speaker 2: but that's not why you trust him. That's not why
Speaker 2: you praise him. That's not why you love him. You
Speaker 2: don't love him because it's always a feeling. You love
Speaker 2: him because he first loved you. You haven't been who
Speaker 2: you want to be lately. You've been struggling with performance issues.
Speaker 2: There's been heavy guilt, heavy shame, heavy fear on you.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good thing.
Speaker 2: You're not praising him according to your perform You're praising
Speaker 2: him according to his goodness.
Speaker 1: And he is good.
Speaker 2: And all the time, old taste and see that the
Speaker 2: Lord is good. I'm not praising him for this pain
Speaker 2: in my body. I'm not praising him for this issue
Speaker 2: with my kids. I'm not praising him for this situation
Speaker 2: that won't resolve. I'm praising him for that. You want
Speaker 2: to go all the way back. Let me take you
Speaker 2: to Calvary, where the precious leave Him of God suffered,
Speaker 2: bled and died for me.
Speaker 1: See the crown of thorns on his head, Sorrow and
Speaker 1: love flow mingled down.
Speaker 2: Did ever such loving sorrow me or thorns composed so
Speaker 2: rich a crowd.
Speaker 1: I'm not praising him for a feeling. I'm praising him
Speaker 1: by faith. This is ay faith praise. I'm praise him
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: I got it like that, I know it like that.
Speaker 1: I met him like that.
Speaker 2: He snaps me like that, he filled me like that,
Speaker 2: he raised me like that, He forgave me like that.
Speaker 1: That's God God praise.
Speaker 2: I don't need a thirty second delay. I don't need
Speaker 2: to get out of this cave and see how it
Speaker 2: turns out.
Speaker 1: God already knows. I praise him for that.
Speaker 2: Whoa, look, I got happy because I look around today
Speaker 2: and I see him big sad that See.
Speaker 1: For months, I'm preaching in.
Speaker 2: This auditorium, empty from a pandemic, and I promised God.
Speaker 2: With the room got full again, I would keep preaching
Speaker 2: and I would thank him.
Speaker 1: This is that, This is that, This is that. This
Speaker 1: is that praising If you want to.
Speaker 2: Praise him, if you know him like that, The Lord.
Speaker 1: Is my supper, my line and my salvation. Oh man,
Speaker 1: the find the.
Speaker 2: Lord with me ugly praise, ugly praise. You got an
Speaker 2: only cry? Why not an ugly praise? Give him a
Speaker 2: praise that sounds kind of crazy. I did the only
Speaker 2: cry now what says ugly praise? Hey, thank you Jesus,
Speaker 2: you did that. You delivered me from all my fears.
Speaker 1: You did that. So win that enemy. When that enemy,
Speaker 1: when that enemy comes.
Speaker 2: In like a flood and tries to remind you of
Speaker 2: this that you don't think you.
Speaker 1: Can get through, take him back.
Speaker 2: To that.
Speaker 1: I don't know much, but I know he's in control.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I thought I knew, but he's
Speaker 1: the author of my story.
Speaker 7: I don't know what I thought I knew, and God's
Speaker 7: not doing what I thought he would win I thought
Speaker 7: he would. I'm in the delay right now, but I
Speaker 7: went down there to that Elevation church and.
Speaker 1: They taught me what to do. Until God lifts you.
Speaker 1: I fill that space with praise.
Speaker 2: No, we've covered a lot. I hope you got something
Speaker 2: from God today. I want to give you one more
Speaker 2: thing before I go. I'm about to go eat some
Speaker 2: Keto pancakes and replenish. But there is a song that
Speaker 2: says that's why I trust him. That needs to be
Speaker 2: your anthem for what you're going through. And it says
Speaker 2: I sought the Lord and he heard, and he answered.
Speaker 1: It does not define how much space.
Speaker 2: There will be between those sequences.
Speaker 1: But I found a verse, y'all.
Speaker 2: I found a verse in the New Testament that I'm
Speaker 2: clinging to for everything that God has called me to
Speaker 2: be in Doo. It's in on one John five fourteen,
Speaker 2: and it says that this is the confidence we have
Speaker 2: in approaching God. This everybody say this, This is the
Speaker 2: basis of my faith. This is the confidence we have
Speaker 2: in approaching God that if we ask according to his will,
Speaker 2: he hears us. That is not even the good verse
Speaker 2: verse fifteen.
Speaker 1: And we and if we know.
Speaker 2: That he heard, if we know that he hears us
Speaker 2: whatever we ask, we know that we have but we.
Speaker 1: Asked of him.
Speaker 2: Now, I want you to get to this on your
Speaker 2: mind that the enemy keeps talking about doing this, bouncing
Speaker 2: back the whole time I'm preaching going home with you,
Speaker 2: that delay, that thing that goes yeah but yeah, but
Speaker 2: yeah but yeah yeah, get on your mind seven seconds
Speaker 2: to think about this, and then I want you to
Speaker 2: push it back with.
Speaker 1: A that that.
Speaker 2: Somebody say, we know that we know that we have
Speaker 2: what we asked of him according to his will. And
Speaker 2: if I'm asking God for his will, I know that
Speaker 2: it shall be done, and my soul shall boastend the Lord.
Speaker 2: So say it again. I know that he died for me.
Speaker 2: I know that he loves me. I know that he's
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 1: That's why I trust him. Now.
Speaker 2: When we wrote that song, everybody's stand, I'm gonna lead
Speaker 2: you in a worship moment that I hope you remember,
Speaker 2: and I hope you repeat it through the week. Something
Speaker 2: else to put in those spaces where you feel like
Speaker 2: I'm going crazy right now. I can't stop thinking about this,
Speaker 2: I can't stop ruminating. Okay, you're gonna reflect with God
Speaker 2: and get his perspective.
Speaker 1: And I didn't know how clearly.
Speaker 2: The others who wrote with me on this song, Mitch
Speaker 2: and Brandon and Chris, but we went through some voice
Speaker 2: memos to make sure that my selective memory wasn't wrong.
Speaker 2: When we wrote the Bridge, it went a little different.
Speaker 2: You will barely notice the difference, but one, two, three,
Speaker 2: four it went I sought the lore and he heard
Speaker 2: and he answered. I saw the lore and her and
Speaker 2: the answer. I saw the Lord her this what did
Speaker 2: and the answer. That's why I trust him. That's why
Speaker 2: I trust You're Like, that's the same, No listen again.
Speaker 1: It's the same, but it's a little different. Just watch.
Speaker 2: I saw the Lord and he heard and the answer.
Speaker 2: I saw the Lord and he her and the answer.
Speaker 2: I saw the Lord.
Speaker 1: And he her. You sing it the regular way. I
Speaker 1: sing the other way. That's why I trust what happened
Speaker 1: when we were writing that something didn't sound right.
Speaker 2: So we said, it's a good thought, but what if
Speaker 2: we just push it back just one beat? And when
Speaker 2: we did, it went from a pretty cool song.
Speaker 1: To the song I'll see a.
Speaker 2: Song that I've heard in a minute.
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. It was the smallest little thing.
Speaker 1: It was just it's just a beat, y'all. It's just
Speaker 1: a I saw the Lord and he heard, and he answer.
Speaker 1: That's why. That what made the difference. We just pushed
Speaker 1: that back a little bit. Let's take a church vote.
Speaker 2: We never did a church vote at Elevation Baptist PRESBYTERI
Speaker 2: epistop bel and Church of God of Prophecy.
Speaker 1: This first one.
Speaker 2: If I'm around the world, you can vote to I
Speaker 2: saw the Lord this version one, and he heard and
Speaker 2: he answer. I saw the Lord and he.
Speaker 4: Her and he answer. I saw the Lord and he heard,
Speaker 4: and he answered. That's why I trust him. That's why
Speaker 4: I see how white that sounds.
Speaker 2: The virtue who heard and he answered, I saw the Lord.
Speaker 1: Let's push it back a little. That's why God might
Speaker 1: be pushing something back just so I'm gonna go.
Speaker 8: But let's take a moment and give God a delayed
Speaker 8: praise for everything I am, for everything that he knows.
Speaker 1: Because he's good. Hen he's great, and he's faithful. Because
Speaker 1: he's good. Hen he's great. Come here, let's have some fun.
Speaker 1: Come on, see Chris. Because he's good. Hen he's great,
Speaker 1: and he's faithful. That's why. Because he's good. Because he's good,
Speaker 1: he's and he's Oh he's good, and he's gonna heat
Speaker 1: and he's what's this?
Speaker 2: He's put it down right there, slops. I got a
Speaker 2: number because he healed.
Speaker 1: Because he heals, and he says had delivers.
Speaker 4: That's why.
Speaker 1: Because he heals and he says had delivers. That's why.
Speaker 2: Because he heals, Hendy says he delivers.
Speaker 1: Sa'm like, you do, how about this? You don't know?
Speaker 1: Like I know what he stuns for me? He said,
Speaker 1: that's what I got a princess.
