Delayed Praise

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:06.280 Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick. 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.360 I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our podcast. 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:10.000 Be sure to. 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.720 Subscribe so we can get you these new sermons every week. 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:21.200 I hope you're blessed today. 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:23.520 Would you high five free people? 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.560 Tell them you don't even know, you can't even imagine 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:38.760 how good God has been to me. Wow, y'all stay standing. 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.360 I'm not going to be very long before I get 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.600 to the word because I want to give you part 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.560 two of what I started last week, and I want 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:57.160 to talk about trusting in God. So Hello greetings, every campus. Hello, 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:02.320 our watch party in DC. Hello everybody, God bless you. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.680 Hello to our EPAM. Y'all tell me hello back? Would 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:06.520 you do that real quick? 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:15.080 Online? And in the room? Where are your manners? You 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:16.880 gotta say hello back? 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.920 Sometimes it's like yeall are on a delay. It's funny, 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:28.080 but hello greetings. You know, the Lord gave me a word. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.280 He said, every time you get up to preach, remember 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.039 half the people you're preaching to almost didn't come that week, 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.040 and so even just to get here was a victory 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:42.280 for them. And so I always keep that in mind 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:47.160 when I get up to preach. One thing I want 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.720 to mention real quick. It was mentioned, but I want 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:50.840 to tell you a little bit. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.920 More about it. We are going to have an album 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:55.600 that releases. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:02:00.120 On May nineteenth called can You Imagine? 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:00.880 Put it in the. 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.880 Comments can you imagine, and then say yes I can. 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:05.760 And after May. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.440 Nineteenth, I won't have to imagine because I will have 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.200 it on my phone. I have it on Apple Music 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:16.080 and Spotify and Pandora and Amazon Music. I might go 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:21.600 down to Tower Records and buy the compact disc. I 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.079 got a batch of the CDs the other day. They 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.960 brought me the CD and I said, this will be 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.560 for one person, my mom. My mom is the only 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.840 person I know who still has a way to play CDs. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.960 But it'll be May nineteenth. 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.919 Me and Chris were talking and the Lord has continued 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:43.320 giving us new songs as we've been preparing these songs. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:49.080 So I say, I say, May nineteenth, we get togethered 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:54.480 Elevation Valentine, we have a night of worship, we record 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.280 some new songs and sing some of those songs, and just. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.959 Keep the flow the Holy Spirit going all year long. 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:05.120 I can't wait. 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.880 We've got, We've got, I told Holly the other day, 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.640 I feel like I have more sermons than I have 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.400 Sundays to preach them in right now. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.200 I'm not starting a Wednesday night service though, I'm not 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.720 doing that. I'm not that confident in it. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.680 But and just the songs and the sermons and just 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.880 to minister from a place of overflow is what I 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.640 feel like God has given me in this season. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:31.160 Now. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:36.120 That means that I share with you almost directly what 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.920 God is giving me, and from my own study and 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.400 my own Bible reading, I don't have two files. 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.120 After I've processed and studied, I bring it to you. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.720 It also means I'm going to be doing more and 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.760 more of integrating the words, so you'll get a little 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.400 bit one week, a little bit the next week, a 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.600 little bit the next week, almost like a sermon series, 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.920 but a little bit different than that. Because if you're 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.960 watching this on YouTube right now, you can go watch 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:07.840 my sermon from last week called Ugly Trust. You could 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.920 turn this one off, go watch that one and then 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:10.520 come back. 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.800 It'll be discipleship on demand. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.600 And for everybody in the room, elbow your neighbor in 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.480 their ribs and say get ready for this one. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:21.760 Oh. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.040 Also, hey, we've been having such a good time with 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.640 these Elevation Nights that we're gonna We're adding dates in 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:37.880 July July nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty first, Greenville, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:44.560 and Nashville, Tennessee. I just got back from Nashville, Tennessee. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.400 I still got my pink bracelet. I took my girls 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:53.680 to see Taylor Swift. That was wild, felt like a 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.120 women's conference in there. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.279 It was awesome. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.440 Now that's in July Elevation Nights dot com, and then 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:03.800 we'll be back out in the. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.840 Fall October third through the twelfth. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.560 You can go to Elevation Nights dot com because we'll 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:18.200 be in Miami, Florida, Tampa, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, Knoxville, Tennessee, Birmingham, Alabama, Lubbock, Texas, Dallas, Texas, 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.039 and Houston, Texas. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.120 All right, Elevation Nights dot Com. Get there. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.480 I'll tell you what I want you to do, the 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.240 exact opposite of what we normally do. Sit down for 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.159 the scripture and let's get into it right now. 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:39.760 Are you excited about it? Amen? Me too? This is 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.679 this is a psalm. 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:51.559 Go to Psalm thirty four, the song Trust in God, says, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.120 I sought the Lord, and he heard. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:55.600 And he answered. 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.760 My premise last week is as simple as that sounds 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.760 when we sing it. It doesn't live as simply as 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.480 it sings, does it. I sought the Lord, he heard, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:14.880 he answered, not like a high speed internet connection anyway. 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:22.000 I can't find Bible verses about certain things. I, as 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.080 a parent, want to know how much screen time to 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.800 give my kids where they can still be connected to 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:32.920 their friends but not turn into apocalyptic zombies before they're eighteen. 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.960 I can't find a Bible verse on how much screen time. 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.479 I read two Timothy, one Timothy. I look for third Timothy. 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.880 Paul didn't say anything about screen time. 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.800 I don't know why. He just forgot to put that in, 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:45.279 I guess. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.440 And so our contemporary challenges often make it difficult for 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.320 us to know exactly what God would have us to 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:56.400 do in that situation. And yet God gives us timeless 0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:02.320 truth of his eternal promise that he hears us. Tell 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.920 somebody next to you, he hears you. Psalm thirty four 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:13.360 says I will bless the Lord at all times. His 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:20.880 praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.320 make her boast in the Lord the humble shall hear 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:30.600 thereof and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.680 all of y'all who don't ever talk back in the 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.360 sermon that Bible verse just testified against you. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:43.880 Oh, magnify the Lord with me. Little delayed, but we're 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:44.400 getting there. 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.640 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.880 his name together. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:54.520 Here it comes. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.840 I sought the Lord, and he heard me and delivered 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.480 me from all my fears. They looked unto him and 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.520 were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed. This poor 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.440 man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.680 out of all his troubles. The Angel of the Lord 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:18.200 in campeth round about them that fear him. That's why 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.400 it didn't kill you. Because the Angel of the Lord 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:25.280 in campeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:32.040 them no taste, and see that the Lord is good. 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.520 Blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Last week 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.640 was called ugly trust, and this week is going to 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:49.680 be called delayed praise. Delayed praise one of the most 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.320 important things I could ever teach you, coming right now, 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:58.000 not in a week. Right now, as I preach it, 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.000 you might be watching it a year after I preached it. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.960 But it's coming to you right now. You believe that 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:07.240 could happen. God could have me speak something today that 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.439 you will need in a year and you will click 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.640 on it when the battle comes that I didn't know 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.560 about when I preached it, but he did. 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:17.959 Do you believe that? 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.080 Do you believe you might find this sermon boring today 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.720 and then get in a battle next week and go 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.960 back to it and go. I think I needed that 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:32.800 more than I thought I needed that at the time. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.559 One of my buddies likes to say, if you have relevance, 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.160 relevance to a situation, you will give more attention to it. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.280 If you have a flat tire changing, it becomes important. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.679 But a flat tire changing seminar when all four a 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.960 work and probably isn't going to draw your attendance or 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:58.680 your attention. I believe God is amazing like that delayed praise. Actually, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.240 while I was preaching last week, something was happening that 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.760 was really distracting me. We had a technical difficulty to 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.079 where my voice was bouncing off of one of these 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.440 screens that was lower than it should have been. And 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.520 so while I was talking to you, I was hearing 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:22.040 me like a nanosecond behind my voice again, but you 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.360 couldn't hear it. But I could hear myself twice. And 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.320 if that's ever happened to you on a zoom call 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:29.280 or a phone call. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.800 It is the worst thing, isn't it. You think you're 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:33.560 going crazy. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.800 You're like, hey, hang on, hang on a second, there's 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:36.840 a delay, and then. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.240 You're like, do I really sound like that? Is that 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.280 what my voice sounds like? That sounds terrible. I'll never 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.319 talk again. I'm gonna learn sign language. 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.480 And that's happening right now. The message is going out 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.360 on YouTube. But if I called for comments and said, hey, 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.200 text put on YouTube where you're coming from or where 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.320 you're watching from, I would have to stall for like 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.960 fifteen or thirty seconds before it came through. 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.880 And there's just a little delay on it. 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.240 And I realized that that same thing is happening in 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:12.360 your life. As I preach this word, there's another voice 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:19.200 telling you other stuff. This side of the room is 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:23.480 being fake today, so I'm gonna try y'all out. There's 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.600 another voice where it's saying, you know, I sought the Lord, 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:33.200 an he heard any answer. I saw the Lord any 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:37.599 heard any answered. But it's like I saught the Lord. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:45.240 I'm not sure if you'll answer. This side is rough too. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.840 This is my last option. You are my last available. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:56.480 I saw it the Lord. I saught the Lord, and 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:06.040 I sure hope he answers go. It's like in bringing 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.120 you into this song, I want to be ever so 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.679 careful that I give you a picture of what is 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:15.400 really meant. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.960 When David says. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:22.600 I will bless or praise the Lord at all times, 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:30.240 his praise shall continually, everybody say, continually be in my mouth. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.960 Now let's do the real life version the RLV of 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.040 the Bible. I read the King James version. Now let 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.080 me read the RL version. I will bless the Lord 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:45.480 at certain times. His praise shall eventually be in my 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.280 mouth when I get done venting. Then I'm gonna praise 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.600 him when I get through this season. You know, we'd 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.280 like to talk about seasons in church. Oh, it's been 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.240 a hard season. It's a difficult season, and I'm wondering, like, 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:06.360 what point is a season that you are in the 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.400 sovereign God of your life to get to determine what 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.079 you say about it and what you do about it. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.120 Because we have to remember when David wrote these songs, 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.760 just like Taylor Swift writing her songs. There's a story 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.640 behind every one of them. And I watched grown men 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:29.480 weep to songs about being fifteen and twenty two the 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:35.360 other night, forty nine year old men weeping something that 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.480 Taylor went through. Then the Swifties are like, oh, that's 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.720 me too. I mean, not exactly me. I wasn't fifteen, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.200 I'm fifty five. But I get where you're coming from 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:47.640 because I've been there, Taylor. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:49.600 I've been there and I felt it too. 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.559 I wasn't a group like I'm gonna shake it off, 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:53.640 shake it off. 0:13:53.960 --> 0:14:02.480 I need I mean this and uh. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.439 And so when he says that now, now, now, remember this, 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.719 I taught you this last week, and you come every 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.120 week and you take notes and you study him, and 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:13.800 you listen again and you listen to the sermon and 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.320 you write it down. But just in case, just in 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.600 case there was a little delay and you didn't remember 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:19.920 it yet and you had some things go on. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.000 Remember that David is not writing this. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:27.880 Psalm from a place of his personal pain. It is 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:32.800 based in his personal pain, but he's not writing this 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.920 palm from the place of his pain. 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:36.920 He's writing it. 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:43.120 After he has experienced great pain and come through that 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.280 pain to realize a greater purpose. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.160 Ah. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.280 And now he's looking back on the pain that he 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.760 went through and he is teaching us the art of 0:14:55.960 --> 0:15:03.720 delayed praise. Now he says his praise shall continually be 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:08.520 in my mouth at all times. And David is not 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.520 saying this because Praise was the only thing he was 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:13.200 dealing with. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.680 Praise is not contingent upon. 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.960 The events of my life, not if I'm a mature Christian, 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.000 And praise is not just a song that I sing. 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:29.000 It is a way of seeing my situation, speaking about 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.720 my situation and being in this world that God has 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.480 placed me in. That's what I mean by praise, and 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.880 that's what I mean by trust. And the reason that 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:45.920 I trust God is not because everything happens so quickly. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:53.640 I praise God because there are spaces between what I 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.640 believe He has called me to do and to be 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.920 and to have and where I'm at right now now. 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.440 The enemy wants to fill that space, just like God does. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.360 The enemy wants to fill these spaces in our life 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.720 because we're all dealing with delays right now right like 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.120 not just the screen on the voice or the YouTube 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.480 buffering or the comments. Oh, they might have told me 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.880 where they're watching from. By now I gotta go back 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:16.320 and check. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.920 Forgot. I set that illustration up and forgot. 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.120 But yeah, so there's thousands of people watching right now 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.480 and they're just now getting around to telling me where 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:26.400 they're watching from. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.000 And that's crazy, Like it takes that. 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.440 Long for it to come through, And in your life 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.120 sometimes it takes a lot longer for it to come through. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.240 Then you planned on and you can be free, but 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:46.080 not by this Friday. And you can be healed from 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:51.080 a broken heart, but not in the next hour, not 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.640 by the time I say amen. And so if the 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.640 devil can't trick you into thinking is never gonna happen, 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.480 he'll tell you it's gonna happen so quickly that when 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.720 it doesn't happen that quickly, you give up on it. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.480 So now he's got two tools. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.119 Discouragement, you're never gonna change, it's never gonna be, it'll 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.960 never happen for you. If that doesn't work and you 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:18.920 believe God, then he will use a delay to try 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.439 to get you to believe that you were crazy to 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.760 think that God could do that thing. 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.800 In your life. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:30.320 We studied last week how David went crazy. Remember he 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:35.280 had to go to Philistine territory to escape from Saul. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:40.080 That's the king of his own nation. That's the one 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.320 who should have been mentoring him. That's the one who 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.040 should have been showing David, this is how you do it. 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.840 This is how we handle pressure, this is how we 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:55.440 stand up under it. Instead, Saul spends seven years throwing 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:56.760 spears at David. 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.880 Hey, David, great news, they are gonna be a king. 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.560 Bad news. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:09.280 Seven years of caves hiding from the king that should 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:16.080 be helping you. Seven years between the anointing you're gonna 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:20.960 be king and the crowning where Saul dies and David 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:26.160 actually is that space in your life is where trust 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:26.960 is required. 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:29.240 Nothing else will do. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.480 Talent won't fill it because sometimes your talent is great, 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:41.480 but your development process is still underway. Intelligence won't fix 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.720 it because there's some things that you're not smart enough 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:50.159 to know about. Nobody is. Nobody calls certain things that 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:51.000 we go through. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.000 So no matter how. 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:56.320 Meticulous you are in managing your life and your time, 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:01.320 there are certain spaces that only God can fill. 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:03.080 And that's why I. 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.800 Trust him, because I sought the Lord. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:09.040 I sought the Lord. 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.600 If David were singing this in real time, I sought 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.639 the Lord, and then Saul tried to kill me. I 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.439 sought the Lord, and then Saul tried to kill me. 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:22.159 I sought the Lord. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.800 He is writing that stuff, but he's not writing while 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:31.040 it's happening. He's looking back on that, and now he's 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:35.280 teaching me, and he's teaching you how to trust God. 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.239 And I wonder, is God teaching you to trust him 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:43.520 right now so that you will be saying that, speaking that, 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.120 and passing that down, maybe even to your own children. 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.400 This is how we trust him. This is how we 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:59.280 do it. Thank you, Montel. This and I got all 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.600 kinds of psalms for y'all today. 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:03.640 I got psalms from. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.800 The nineties, I got psalms from the BC's, I've got 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.639 psalms everywhere. 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:14.480 Now write down the word reflection somewhere. Reflection. 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.840 I think that many of us underestimate the power of 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:25.280 healthy reflection for our soul's growth. And I think the enemy. 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:26.960 I don't like to talk about him this much in 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:28.679 the sermon, but he messes with you so much. I 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.000 want to call him out. I think he wants to 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:36.520 get you so busy that you never do it. If 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:41.360 every second of your life is sucked out by distracting 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:45.199 yourself from what you feel, and you never process it 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.760 with God, but instead you scroll through what somebody else 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.200 wants you to think they feel. 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:54.560 If every second. 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.919 Is sucked out of your life, you can't reflect, and 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:03.639 if you don't reflect, you can't be really blessed. You 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:07.800 can actually be blessed from God's perspective, but not feel 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.800 blessed from your perspective because you never learned to reflect. 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:15.520 Psalm thirty four is. 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:21.600 Teaching me how to reflect, Oh, taste and see that 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.919 the Lord is good. Now that's interesting because he mentions 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.199 at least two different senses. Remember, David is writing this 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:35.280 psalm after great personal pain from a perspective of purpose, 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.840 to teach us how to process our own seasons of delay. 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.200 And one of the things he does is use sensory 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.920 images because he's a brilliant lyricist. He's talking about taste 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.560 and see that the Lord is good. But then he 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:55.960 also says, magnify the Lord with me. So we've got 0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:01.080 a visual sense of sight, magnify, and we've got a 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:05.000 chemical sense of taste, and I think both are telling 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:06.160 us the same thing. 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.640 It is the value of. 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:16.280 Our experience filtered through a healthy reflection process. 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:20.480 Let me explain. You ever had somebody in a restaurant 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:27.520 go ah, this is terrible. Taste it. She does that 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:31.360 to me all the time. Oh gotta taste this. This 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:35.000 is so bad. Oh, taste this. This is what am I? 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.520 Your cup bearer? I'm not mea mayah. Not tasting your 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:40.480 poison tastes terrible to you. 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:41.640 And so. 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.720 There's something about it. It tastes so bad. She just 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:47.520 wants somebody else to have to be in it with 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:52.120 their misery. Loves company, right, And so there's this thing 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:56.280 that David is saying. He's like, I know the bitterness 0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:00.800 of wondering, are you you really going to see a 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.320 breakthrough in your life or you just believe in it 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:09.399 for nothing. I know the ashes of defeat when everything 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:11.560 that you love has been burned to the ground. I 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:17.280 know the taste of the isolation of the cave. But 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:23.120 I want you to taste something else by decision. As 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:29.200 you face this delay, the enemy tries to fill that space, 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:32.480 that seven years space. I don't mean seven years literally, 0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:33.439 it could be longer. 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.000 It could be shorter, but it's long. It's long. When 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:40.000 you're living it. Some stuff you go back and you 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:40.720 talk about. 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:42.680 It, and you can say in a sentence, what took 0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:46.840 you seven years to learn in real life? True, But 0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.840 when you're living in it, it feels different. And that's 0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.960 why the benefit of distance is so great. Not only 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:56.520 does he say taste and see that the Lord is good, 0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:03.119 he also says, oh, magnify the Lord with me. To 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:10.879 magnify something is not to make it bigger. Magnification doesn't 0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:21.680 change the size of the object. Magnification is the process 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.159 whereby you get your perspective. 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:31.600 About what was there all along. I don't know about you. 0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:37.600 But that's why I come to church, because I need 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:44.320 help sometimes magnifying the Lord. What I magnify in my life, 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:45.600 I get more of. 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:47.959 Whoop. 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:54.160 So if I sit around with stingy, miserable people all week, 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:57.199 don't look at them right now while I'm preaching, look 0:24:57.240 --> 0:25:02.240 straight ahead. If I sit around having low level conversations, 0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:10.400 broke down conversations, hateful conversations, stupid, ignorant conversations all week, 0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.800 surface level conversations. 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.200 All week that never really pushed. 0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:18.240 Past all the stuff about what's going on and ot 0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:21.480 out Illuminati and out out of an out prices of 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:24.240 the gay. If I never get past that, I can't 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:29.399 see what's there in my life home. Magnify the Lord 0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:47.679 with me, b Yob, bring your own binoculars. You're not 0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:55.000 making God bigger, You're just making yourself more focused to 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:58.960 realize that for every reason the devil can give you 0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:04.320 to doubt God, I can give you ten to trust him. 0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:07.880 You want me to prove it? Lift your hands. How 0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:09.720 many fingers are you lifting. 0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:10.359 Up right now? 0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:15.160 That's ten reasons right there to bless him, exalt him, 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:22.640 and worship him. Blessed be God forever. Not clap those 0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:27.879 same hands. Put those ten fingers together. There's somebody watching me. 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:34.360 Lost a pinky okay, nine, hey, seven, six five four. 0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:42.119 And and. 0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:48.200 I bless the Lord, I magnify him, I taste him, 0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:54.480 I experience him. The value of personal experience is worthless 0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:59.680 if not reflected upon in the light of God's goodness. 0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:07.439 And I'm not just saying keep a gratitude journal. Do that. 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.040 I got all kinds of little gratitude tricks me and I. 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.720 You made one up on tour. It's the best thing 0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.639 ever she showed me and I taught it on my 0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:20.680 YouTube channel and you can go there and see it. 0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:24.800 It's about a grateful heart. Is this stable heart? I'm 0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:25.600 not just saying that. 0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:31.040 I'm actually saying things turn into blessings as you reflect 0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:37.760 on them in time. I will bless the Lord at 0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:42.480 all times. Does that mean I'm gonna walk down the 0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:46.080 road singing Gyri this week? Does that mean I'm gonna 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:48.200 be in a meeting and They're gonna be asking about 0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:50.000 the spreadsheet and I'll be like, I don't know about 0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:53.560 the spreadsheet. But my God is sovereign, he's holy, he's righteous, 0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:58.080 he's pure. I bless him at all times. And it's like, 0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:00.800 you can do that on your own time. This is 0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:03.840 company time. We are doing a meeting. Submit the budget, 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:07.840 all right, So we're not turning we're not turning this 0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:13.760 beautiful psalm into some weird excuse for us to live 0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:14.840 in this other reality. 0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:18.320 It actually is the way that we. 0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:23.240 Bring God's faithfulness into this moment for the fights that 0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:26.960 you're dealing with and for the future that you're uncertain about. 0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:33.320 And it's a beautiful thing. It is a decision that 0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:40.680 you make to praise God to glorify him. To speak 0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:43.280 about the things in your life that you want to 0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:48.520 see more of, to speak about the things in your 0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:54.600 life that God has given you. There's nothing wrong with 0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.320 admitting the things that you wish were different and getting 0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:03.520 help with them. Stop elevating your request to people who 0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:04.720 are not supervisors. 0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.160 What do you think I should tell my husband? 0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:19.360 She's not married, and even if she is, she is 0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:20.880 not married to your husband. 0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:24.120 She can only take you so far. 0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:32.640 These conversations, they get real cyclical, right sick lakole, Because 0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:35.240 in the process of that, if you don't bring God 0:29:35.280 --> 0:29:38.720 into it, I'm talking about delayed praise. And I'm going 0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:40.800 to get back to that in just a moment, But 0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:43.120 for now, I want I want you to remember this 0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:46.360 about David when he wrote Psalm thirty four. 0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:51.880 He was through it when he was living it. And 0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:54.720 this may give you permission to struggle a little bit. 0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:58.720 That's why I called it ugly trust, because let me 0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:00.360 get out of the king James back. Go over to 0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:02.800 the NIV so you can see what's going on in 0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:10.880 for Samuel twenty seven, verse one. But David thought to himself, 0:30:11.840 --> 0:30:14.200 one of these days I will be destroyed by the 0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:18.400 hand of Saul. Does that sound like a guy who's 0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:20.000 confident in God's promise? 0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:26.400 But his seven years? Seven years is long. 0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:30.960 Enough to whittle away at your worship. And he thought 0:30:31.000 --> 0:30:34.600 to himself, one of these days I will be destroyed. 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:35.120 By the hand of Saul. 0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:43.760 The best thing I can do, the next best thing. 0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.800 I don't like what I've got to do right now. 0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:51.360 I don't like where life has me. I don't like 0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:54.880 this situation. But the best thing I can do, because 0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:58.080 I don't know what else to do, the next best thing, 0:30:58.200 --> 0:30:59.520 the one thing I can do. 0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:01.960 He not asked to handle the next thing after. 0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:03.640 That, because I can't only focus on one thing right now, 0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:05.000 because I don't really know about all this, because it 0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:06.560 freaks me out when I try to think too far out. 0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:09.920 But the best thing I can do for now. 0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:12.560 Back least, the best thing I can do is escape 0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:16.160 to the land of the Philistines, that's the enemies. Then 0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.080 Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, 0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:19.880 and I will slip out of his hand. And David 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:23.840 did that, and for sixteen months he lived amongst his enemies. 0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:28.840 For sixteen months, he lived amongst the enemies that he 0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:34.760 would eventually defeat when he became king. Hold that. Hold 0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:37.160 that for a moment. Go back to the very first 0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:45.440 part of that verse. David thought to himself, I will 0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:48.560 bless the Lord at all times. His praise will continually 0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:51.120 be in my mouth. He thought to himself, I'm gonna die. 0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:58.200 But watch this, he said, My soul will make its 0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:04.160 boast in the Lord. What's your soul. Your soul is 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:08.720 not your mouth. Your soul is not what your eyes see. 0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:12.320 Your soul is your mind, your will, and your emotions. 0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:16.280 Put that into comments. Your mind, your will, your emotions, 0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:19.920 your mind, your will, your emotions. He said, my soul 0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:25.600 will boast in the Lord. But we know that his 0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:30.520 mind was telling him, you're gonna die. You're not gonna 0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:34.320 get through this. This is it for you. He's gonna 0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:37.080 kill you for real this time. This is the end 0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:40.040 of the line. This is where it stops. This is 0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:43.240 where the fantasy ends. Yeah, that was cute when Samuel 0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:44.800 anointed you when you were a little boy. 0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.880 Samuel's dead. Now, yeah that was cute. 0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:50.200 When you saw your family back together and happy again. 0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:52.000 But it's not gonna happen. Now. 0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:54.160 This is the one they used to have a show 0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:56.240 when I was little, called Sandford and Son, and he 0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:58.800 would always say, this is the big one, Elizabeth. 0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.400 I'm coming to join you. Elizabeth. What is up with 0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:04.720 all my outdated pop culture references? Today? Pray for me, 0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:08.280 and David is having a moment. This is it. He's 0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:09.560 gonna kill me. This is it. 0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:11.600 There's nothing else I can do. This is the end, 0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:13.600 this is it. This one's gonna take me down. 0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:14.240 This is it. 0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:17.160 And he thought that to himself, but he said, my 0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:21.880 soul is going to boast in the Lord, and his 0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:23.840 praise will be in my mouth. 0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:25.160 Soul. 0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:32.360 His mind is saying one thing, Saul's gonna kill you, 0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:39.280 but his soul is going to say another thing. I 0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:44.920 will bless the Lord at all times, and his praise 0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:50.000 will continually be in my mouth. The mouth is gonna 0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:54.200 say God is good. The mouth is gonna say God 0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:58.120 is great. My mouth is going to say what God 0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:00.520 promised he will look acomplish. 0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:02.720 My mouth is going. 0:34:02.600 --> 0:34:07.080 To say, but he's faithful, and he's proven that my mouth. 0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:09.800 What I'm trying to give you is this simple principle. 0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:10.760 Give me my camera. 0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:15.439 Not everything that goes through your mind needs to come 0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:26.520 out of your mouth. Your mind can try to tell 0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:28.960 you all that your mind wants to tell you, Oh, 0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:32.080 this is it. But I'm a worship my thoughts. I 0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:35.680 don't even trust my thoughts. I don't bow at the 0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:39.960 altar of my thoughts. Thoughts or thoughts like clouds are clouds, 0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:43.760 like rain is rain. Let him pass over? Okay, devil, 0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:46.279 you want to tell me to kill myself, you can 0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:49.640 tell me that I'm not doing that because God has 0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:52.240 the last word in my life. 0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:56.960 I'm good live and not die. And declare the goodness 0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:57.600 of the Lord. 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:10.360 Here's the land, open your no and say yeah, year flood, 0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:12.480 year flood. 0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:14.680 Yeah that's f. 0:35:18.719 --> 0:35:21.640 I five somebody and say, I'm gonna keep praising him. 0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:25.840 I'm gonna keep praising him even if I have to 0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:27.040 praise him on a delay. 0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.040 Watch this. Here's what I mean, a delayed praise. 0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:32.680 Do you remember the first time that you found out 0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:37.560 that live TV wasn't really live? You thought you were 0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:42.040 watching live TV until somebody cussed and the TV just 0:35:42.040 --> 0:35:43.200 went silent. 0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:46.480 Do you remember the first time. I remember the first time. 0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:48.640 I remember the first time that I learned about the 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:53.279 seven second delay. That's what they use in TV. Now, 0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:55.720 we were talking about seven years. But let me shrink 0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:58.400 this and make it real practical. When they have a 0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:03.680 Super Bowl halftime show and things get exposed, you can 0:36:03.719 --> 0:36:06.960 google this later that are not meant to be exposed. 0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:11.080 The network cannot take the liability that you just saw 0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:14.759 that on TV because they got the FCC and the 0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:17.359 SEC and the ACC and the Big ten and well 0:36:18.000 --> 0:36:21.720 all those c's, and so they put it on a delay. 0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:24.719 Watch this so in case they need to bleep it, 0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:29.439 they have time. It was a seven second delay they 0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:33.920 have to happen. They broadcast it out seven seconds after 0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.360 it happens. And I'm trying to figure out do I 0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:42.040 need to put a seven second delay? 0:36:43.960 --> 0:36:44.840 Y'all getting quiet? 0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:45.040 Now? 0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:46.160 This sermon is getting good? 0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:50.640 Do I need to put a seven second delay from 0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:54.239 when it comes to my mind and when it comes 0:36:54.320 --> 0:36:58.560 out of my mouth so I can start bleeping some 0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:04.800 stuff and censor myself so that I don't stay stuck 0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:08.560 in what I feel, but my soul can speak and 0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:12.760 say no, no, no, no no. We don't lie down 0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:16.160 like that, We don't fight back like that, we don't 0:37:16.160 --> 0:37:17.360 get nasty like that. 0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:19.640 Are you crazy? 0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.560 My friend who works in radio, he said, in radio, 0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:25.480 they call that. 0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:29.680 The dump button. I said, what is the dump button? 0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:32.720 He said, if you say something that you're not supposed 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.000 to say live on the air, you go ooh, you 0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:37.719 hit a button and it takes out the last few 0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:41.239 seconds of what you said to protect them station from 0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:44.440 the liability. I said to him, they have that in radio? 0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.040 Do they have that in real life too? Can I 0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:49.520 have a dump button, like a live dump button in 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:51.400 my life? Like you know, like you know, get a 0:37:51.440 --> 0:37:53.560 little sharp with somebody, you don't mean to get sharp. 0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:54.680 You say he little. 0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:56.320 Something, it was reserved and you're like, oh no, I 0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:58.200 think that went on a thought bubbleville and went into 0:37:58.239 --> 0:37:59.560 like mouth bubbleville and I. 0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:05.200 Don't know it happened.

Is just the horrible season. 0:38:31.960 --> 0:38:36.640 I know, I get it.

He knew to bring 0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:11.799 that stuff to God and to do the next best thing. 0:40:13.960 --> 0:40:18.120 He knew that there needs to be a delay between 0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:22.359 what you feel wha help me and what you do. 0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:27.920 If you're thinking about going to see a therapist soon 0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:29.680 for your problems, one thing they're gonna teach you that 0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:31.080 I'll just give you for free, and then you can 0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:31.760 go on to see. 0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:32.680 Them and break it all the way down. 0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.800 They're gonna tell you need to put a bigger gap 0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.520 between the thoughts and the feelings and the actions. 0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:41.520 So you can process it and go like, is this 0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:46.879 how I want to respond? Or a dump button as 0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:48.200 me and David like to call it. 0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:51.440 I think it's important that we get this because when 0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:53.239 he says his praise will continually be in my mouth, 0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:55.520 that doesn't mean that's everything that was going through his mind. 0:40:57.360 --> 0:41:04.360 It was a decision, and I'm gonna give this personally 0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:07.360 because somebody is going to be just for you. The 0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:11.200 thing he was so afraid of, God was already lining 0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:12.120 up to take care of it. 0:41:14.840 --> 0:41:16.000 And Dane, give me that one. 0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:20.680 The thing that you are afraid of God might already 0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:21.560 be taken care of. 0:41:22.280 --> 0:41:29.719 And how much time do y'all have? Okay, okay, I 0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:30.600 make your promise. 0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:34.720 I will do at least one bonus teaching this week 0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:38.719 from the Basin on this subject, and I will put 0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:39.480 it on my YouTube. 0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:45.040 At least one. I may need to do two. It 0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:45.680 was so good. 0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:50.640 Where did David go to escape from Saul to the 0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:58.000 land of the Philistines? Who was the first person that 0:41:58.080 --> 0:42:01.480 he defeated that elevates him to a place of prominence 0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:06.120 in front of the nation? Goliath from Gath, who was 0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:15.399 an uncircumcised Philistine, Right, you're like, uncircumcised? Is that really 0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:18.600 necessary to include that part? It's in the Bible. I'm 0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:27.000 not bleeping this in the Bible. When David eventually became king, 0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:33.239 you gotta get this. He was the first one who 0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:37.160 delivered the nation from the Philistines, and the Bible says. 0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:40.520 That he subdued those enemies. How did he do it? 0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:47.160 What did David know that Saul didn't that enabled him 0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:50.840 to defeat the Philistines? And when did he learn it? 0:42:53.600 --> 0:42:58.960 I suggest that in those sixteen months that he went 0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:02.880 to be a mercenary, he was learning what time they 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:11.959 breakfast and what time they went to bed. David saw 0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:15.680 that sixteen months as a time where he was trapped. 0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:19.880 God saw it as training. 0:43:28.360 --> 0:43:29.759 Can I tell you time God did that to me? 0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:32.160 When we started this church, there were three different people, 0:43:32.480 --> 0:43:34.600 Two of them were ministries. One of them was an 0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:36.879 individual that said they were going to pay my health 0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:39.800 insurance and my salary so we could start the church because. 0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:41.800 The church didn't have that many people. 0:43:42.239 --> 0:43:43.720 And they said, we don't want you to be burning 0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:45.319 yourself out traveling and doing all this. 0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:47.040 We're going to pay it one by one. 0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:49.799 They all backed out for different reasons and no hard 0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:52.239 feelings toward them. But what I felt having a little 0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:55.359 baby because Elijah, my oldest, is the same age as 0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:57.200 the church, and we had that baby and we're moving. 0:43:57.200 --> 0:43:58.960 I remember when Chunk said, well, we just need to 0:43:58.960 --> 0:44:01.600 step up and teach people to trust God with the 0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:04.360 tithe and build the church and trust God in this area. 0:44:05.000 --> 0:44:07.440 And I thought like, wow, is that really what this 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:07.879 is for? 0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:08.480 And it was. 0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:13.480 If I had had those people do it for me, 0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.560 I probably would have trusted them. 0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:22.480 Fool. I appreciative. This is not about me. I'm looking 0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:27.319 for you. If they did what I wanted them to do. 0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:34.719 I wouldn't have seen what God can do. And are 0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:38.120 you in a season right now? I'm asking where God 0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:43.880 is teaching you to trust? But it doesn't feel like training. 0:44:44.200 --> 0:44:48.120 It feels like painting a fence. It doesn't feel like training. 0:44:48.400 --> 0:44:51.120 It feels like waxing a car. I might as well 0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:54.200 finish off all my references today. This is my last 0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:57.759 shot to do it. It doesn't feel like training, but 0:44:57.920 --> 0:45:01.839 it is. But you don't know that until you look 0:45:01.880 --> 0:45:07.560 back on it. You don't know that while it's happening. 0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:11.480 You don't know that while they're saying, I think we 0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:13.640 need to see other people, it's not you, it's me. 0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:15.839 It's not me, it's you. Whatever the thing is. However, 0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:20.319 however they say it, it still hurts. You don't know at 0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:28.080 the time that everybody say that there is event that 0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:34.000 you don't know about right now that God does and 0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:38.360 while the enemy is telling you. 0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:41.080 You are never going to make it through this. And 0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:44.040 I don't even know what your this is. And I 0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:47.160 wish I did, because I would speak straight to it. 0:45:48.040 --> 0:45:51.520 I would call it out by name and social Security number. 0:45:52.680 --> 0:45:55.600 If I knew exactly what y'all were fighting about, If 0:45:55.600 --> 0:45:58.480 I knew exactly what you were taking too many pills about. 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.399 If I knew exactly what you were asking God for 0:46:01.600 --> 0:46:05.239 and feeling the silence of a prayer that bounces back 0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:08.640 down and you keep seeking, but it keeps eluding you, 0:46:08.840 --> 0:46:12.040 and it keeps slipping away. I would call it by name. 0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:24.319 I don't know what this is what God does. But 0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:26.520 there's something else you know that I want to remind 0:46:26.520 --> 0:46:29.840 you of today that you tend to forget in moments 0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:34.160 like this, where you have tasted the sting of your 0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:38.080 tears about the situation that God won't change, where you 0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:42.560 have tasted the air of hunger for the relationships that 0:46:42.640 --> 0:46:47.200 have left your life. A lot of times, while the 0:46:47.280 --> 0:46:50.759 enemy is saying, you're not gonna get through this. What 0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:53.479 are you gonna do about this? How are you gonna 0:46:53.520 --> 0:47:04.080 handle this? You forgot about that, and you were singing 0:47:04.120 --> 0:47:13.560 about that. You said, that's why I trust him. That's 0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:19.120 why somebody shout, that's why I want to all caps chat. 0:47:19.480 --> 0:47:20.439 All caps that. 0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:23.920 In the chat right now, from everybody.

When that enemy, 0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:21.520 when that enemy comes. 0:53:21.239 --> 0:53:25.640 In like a flood and tries to remind you of 0:53:25.960 --> 0:53:27.439 this that you don't think you. 0:53:27.360 --> 0:53:32.400 Can get through, take him back. 0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:34.040 To that. 0:53:36.560 --> 0:53:40.320 I don't know much, but I know he's in control. 0:53:41.600 --> 0:53:44.399 I don't know what I thought I knew, but he's 0:53:44.440 --> 0:53:46.440 the author of my story. 0:53:46.880 --> 0:53:49.640 I don't know what I thought I knew, and God's 0:53:49.680 --> 0:53:51.680 not doing what I thought he would win I thought 0:53:51.719 --> 0:53:55.759 he would. I'm in the delay right now, but I 0:53:55.800 --> 0:53:59.240 went down there to that Elevation church and. 0:53:59.120 --> 0:54:02.160 They taught me what to do. Until God lifts you. 0:54:03.560 --> 0:54:06.920 I fill that space with praise. 0:54:13.800 --> 0:54:24.640 No, we've covered a lot.

I'm about to go eat some 0:54:30.640 --> 0:54:37.080 Keto pancakes and replenish. But there is a song that 0:54:37.200 --> 0:54:42.160 says that's why I trust him. That needs to be 0:54:42.239 --> 0:54:50.319 your anthem for what you're going through. And it says 0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:56.920 I sought the Lord and he heard, and he answered. 0:54:57.680 --> 0:55:00.239 It does not define how much space. 0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:03.480 There will be between those sequences. 0:55:04.239 --> 0:55:05.880 But I found a verse, y'all. 0:55:06.960 --> 0:55:10.239 I found a verse in the New Testament that I'm 0:55:10.280 --> 0:55:13.600 clinging to for everything that God has called me to 0:55:13.640 --> 0:55:17.240 be in Doo. It's in on one John five fourteen, 0:55:18.520 --> 0:55:23.000 and it says that this is the confidence we have 0:55:23.120 --> 0:55:28.840 in approaching God. This everybody say this, This is the 0:55:28.880 --> 0:55:31.759 basis of my faith. This is the confidence we have 0:55:31.800 --> 0:55:39.320 in approaching God that if we ask according to his will, 0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:44.560 he hears us. That is not even the good verse 0:55:45.040 --> 0:55:45.840 verse fifteen. 0:55:47.400 --> 0:55:50.799 And we and if we know. 0:55:52.480 --> 0:55:58.000 That he heard, if we know that he hears us 0:55:58.800 --> 0:56:05.839 whatever we ask, we know that we have but we. 0:56:05.880 --> 0:56:07.720 Asked of him. 0:56:07.800 --> 0:56:16.560 Now, I want you to get to this on your 0:56:16.600 --> 0:56:19.840 mind that the enemy keeps talking about doing this, bouncing 0:56:19.920 --> 0:56:21.960 back the whole time I'm preaching going home with you, 0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:24.560 that delay, that thing that goes yeah but yeah, but 0:56:24.640 --> 0:56:28.320 yeah but yeah yeah, get on your mind seven seconds 0:56:28.400 --> 0:56:32.759 to think about this, and then I want you to 0:56:32.800 --> 0:56:34.839 push it back with. 0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:38.640 A that that. 0:56:41.000 --> 0:56:44.520 Somebody say, we know that we know that we have 0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:47.040 what we asked of him according to his will. And 0:56:47.080 --> 0:56:49.680 if I'm asking God for his will, I know that 0:56:50.000 --> 0:56:54.000 it shall be done, and my soul shall boastend the Lord. 0:56:55.120 --> 0:57:00.440 So say it again. I know that he died for me. 0:57:02.160 --> 0:57:07.680 I know that he loves me. I know that he's 0:57:07.719 --> 0:57:08.080 for me. 0:57:09.000 --> 0:57:12.359 That's why I trust him. Now. 0:57:15.520 --> 0:57:18.120 When we wrote that song, everybody's stand, I'm gonna lead 0:57:18.120 --> 0:57:19.920 you in a worship moment that I hope you remember, 0:57:20.800 --> 0:57:24.040 and I hope you repeat it through the week. Something 0:57:24.040 --> 0:57:26.120 else to put in those spaces where you feel like 0:57:26.640 --> 0:57:29.760 I'm going crazy right now. I can't stop thinking about this, 0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:32.160 I can't stop ruminating. Okay, you're gonna reflect with God 0:57:32.800 --> 0:57:33.800 and get his perspective. 0:57:35.360 --> 0:57:38.560 And I didn't know how clearly. 0:57:38.800 --> 0:57:41.160 The others who wrote with me on this song, Mitch 0:57:41.200 --> 0:57:43.440 and Brandon and Chris, but we went through some voice 0:57:43.440 --> 0:57:46.440 memos to make sure that my selective memory wasn't wrong. 0:57:46.840 --> 0:57:48.840 When we wrote the Bridge, it went a little different. 0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:51.680 You will barely notice the difference, but one, two, three, 0:57:51.840 --> 0:57:55.640 four it went I sought the lore and he heard 0:57:56.160 --> 0:58:01.000 and he answered. I saw the lore and her and 0:58:01.160 --> 0:58:05.960 the answer. I saw the Lord her this what did 0:58:06.040 --> 0:58:10.760 and the answer. That's why I trust him. That's why 0:58:10.920 --> 0:58:15.080 I trust You're Like, that's the same, No listen again. 0:58:16.080 --> 0:58:19.000 It's the same, but it's a little different. Just watch. 0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:23.880 I saw the Lord and he heard and the answer. 0:58:24.560 --> 0:58:28.800 I saw the Lord and he her and the answer. 0:58:29.520 --> 0:58:31.080 I saw the Lord. 0:58:31.400 --> 0:58:33.000 And he her. You sing it the regular way. I 0:58:33.080 --> 0:58:36.800 sing the other way. That's why I trust what happened 0:58:39.600 --> 0:58:43.200 when we were writing that something didn't sound right. 0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:48.080 So we said, it's a good thought, but what if 0:58:48.080 --> 0:58:53.640 we just push it back just one beat? And when 0:58:53.680 --> 0:58:57.920 we did, it went from a pretty cool song. 0:58:59.320 --> 0:59:00.440 To the song I'll see a. 0:59:00.600 --> 0:59:05.400 Song that I've heard in a minute. 0:59:05.920 --> 0:59:09.440 You see what I'm saying. It was the smallest little thing. 0:59:09.520 --> 0:59:12.080 It was just it's just a beat, y'all. It's just 0:59:12.120 --> 0:59:16.760 a I saw the Lord and he heard, and he answer. 0:59:17.800 --> 0:59:24.320 That's why. That what made the difference. We just pushed 0:59:25.120 --> 0:59:34.040 that back a little bit. Let's take a church vote. 0:59:34.320 --> 0:59:37.040 We never did a church vote at Elevation Baptist PRESBYTERI 0:59:37.080 --> 0:59:38.680 epistop bel and Church of God of Prophecy. 0:59:39.000 --> 0:59:39.640 This first one. 0:59:40.560 --> 0:59:42.440 If I'm around the world, you can vote to I 0:59:42.560 --> 0:59:45.440 saw the Lord this version one, and he heard and 0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:49.320 he answer. I saw the Lord and he. 0:59:49.160 --> 0:59:54.320 Her and he answer. I saw the Lord and he heard, 0:59:54.760 --> 0:59:59.520 and he answered. That's why I trust him. That's why 0:59:59.680 --> 1:00:01.400 I see how white that sounds. 1:00:07.320 --> 1:00:12.240 The virtue who heard and he answered, I saw the Lord. 1:00:13.040 --> 1:00:20.800 Let's push it back a little. That's why God might 1:00:20.920 --> 1:00:24.640 be pushing something back just so I'm gonna go. 1:00:25.960 --> 1:00:30.640 But let's take a moment and give God a delayed 1:00:30.840 --> 1:00:38.360 praise for everything I am, for everything that he knows. 1:00:40.880 --> 1:00:46.120 Because he's good. Hen he's great, and he's faithful. Because 1:00:46.160 --> 1:00:49.320 he's good. Hen he's great. Come here, let's have some fun. 1:00:49.400 --> 1:00:52.720 Come on, see Chris. Because he's good.
