00:00:16.041 --> 00:00:21.914
<v Speaker 1>Here's your first prophetic utterance of this service in alignment with this song.

00:00:21.914 --> 00:00:30.490
<v Speaker 1>See if you can catch it for whoever it's for, it may be heavy but it's not going to crush you.

00:00:30.490 --> 00:00:32.985
<v Speaker 1>I hope you can catch that.

00:00:32.985 --> 00:00:37.523
<v Speaker 1>I need you to catch it, man, y'all.

00:00:37.523 --> 00:00:38.265
<v Speaker 1>Help him to catch it.

00:00:38.265 --> 00:00:44.271
<v Speaker 1>Help him say it may be heavy, heavy, but it's not gonna crush me.

00:00:44.271 --> 00:00:46.606
<v Speaker 1>Who am I talking to in the room?

00:00:46.606 --> 00:00:48.634
<v Speaker 1>Who am I talking to in the room?

00:00:48.634 --> 00:00:52.625
<v Speaker 1>It it may be heavy, but it ain't gonna crush me.

00:00:53.225 --> 00:00:58.505
<v Speaker 1>Y'all, I gotta, I gotta run in my spirit today because it get heavy, but it ain't going to crush me.

00:00:58.505 --> 00:01:02.714
<v Speaker 1>I get tired but I faint not.

00:01:02.714 --> 00:01:05.682
<v Speaker 1>We've been doing it for a night.

00:01:05.682 --> 00:01:09.731
<v Speaker 1>But, god, I wish I had some runners in the house.

00:01:09.731 --> 00:01:11.460
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had some people.

00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:13.125
<v Speaker 1>I felt something.

00:01:13.125 --> 00:01:18.185
<v Speaker 1>I went out to pray for a moment and I came back in and I said, oh, I feel trouble in here.

00:01:18.185 --> 00:01:20.274
<v Speaker 1>I feel God moving in this house.

00:01:20.274 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel something.

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.543
<v Speaker 1>I feel something over here now.

00:01:23.543 --> 00:01:28.254
<v Speaker 1>Now, y'all don't start too much trouble, but I feel something.

00:01:28.254 --> 00:01:31.588
<v Speaker 1>And when I feel something I get a case that I can't help it.

00:01:31.588 --> 00:01:35.162
<v Speaker 1>And when the Lord said it's heavy but it ain't going to crush me.

00:01:35.162 --> 00:01:39.572
<v Speaker 1>I got a little happy when the Lord said you're going to make it.

00:01:39.572 --> 00:01:40.993
<v Speaker 1>I got encouraged.

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:55.028
<v Speaker 2>When the Lord said we're going to recover all, I started to praise, and I need about 300 people in the room that don't mind praising God right where you are, because you feel him in the atmosphere.

00:01:55.028 --> 00:01:57.950
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm not the only one in the room.

00:01:57.950 --> 00:01:59.048
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm not the only one in the room.

00:01:59.048 --> 00:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the only one in the room.

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:00.745
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm not the only one in the room.

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:02.963
<v Speaker 3>I'm not the only one in the room.

00:02:02.963 --> 00:02:05.731
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah.

00:02:13.281 --> 00:02:15.728
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited about what God is doing in this house.

00:02:15.728 --> 00:02:19.382
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited about what God is doing in this house.

00:02:19.382 --> 00:02:38.258
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm excited about what God is doing in this house.

00:02:38.258 --> 00:02:38.618
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm young.

00:02:38.618 --> 00:02:42.201
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's the coffee or the Holy Ghost.

00:02:42.201 --> 00:02:45.485
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell, but either way I'm happy.

00:02:46.926 --> 00:02:54.593
<v Speaker 3>Hey, hey, hey Woo, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:02:55.655 --> 00:02:58.318
<v Speaker 1>Hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:02:58.318 --> 00:03:02.389
<v Speaker 1>We journey further into this series today.

00:03:02.389 --> 00:03:07.951
<v Speaker 1>Turn to a neighbor and say you shall recover it all.

00:03:07.951 --> 00:03:11.209
<v Speaker 1>Now listen, I need y'all to understand something.

00:03:11.209 --> 00:03:15.629
<v Speaker 1>That time was how you say it, like you're just saying something.

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:24.939
<v Speaker 1>But the Bible teaches us when a man or a woman of God speaks, we out of our mouth flows blessings.

00:03:24.939 --> 00:03:29.789
<v Speaker 1>Does the Bible not say that out of our mouth we should speak life?

00:03:29.789 --> 00:03:42.968
<v Speaker 1>So this time I need you to turn to him with all of the Holy Ghost and all of the prophetic that's in you, because you thought it rested up here, but I'm trying to teach you that it rests in you and the same power that's in me is in you.

00:03:42.968 --> 00:03:50.790
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to teach us that, that, that if your holy ghost connect with my holy ghost, good god, almighty.

00:03:50.790 --> 00:03:52.092
<v Speaker 1>We ain't seen nothing yet.

00:03:52.842 --> 00:03:54.064
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna try it again.

00:03:54.064 --> 00:03:56.009
<v Speaker 1>I need all the prophets in the room I.

00:03:56.009 --> 00:03:57.652
<v Speaker 1>I need you to turn to somebody.

00:03:57.652 --> 00:03:59.421
<v Speaker 1>Matter of fact, you, I'm gonna start in the family.

00:03:59.421 --> 00:04:00.503
<v Speaker 1>Fact, I'm going to start in the family.

00:04:00.503 --> 00:04:11.312
<v Speaker 1>If your family here, if they're in the youth room, point up there, if they're online, whatever, start with your family, you're going to go ahead and start prophesying to your family saying you shall recover it all.

00:04:11.312 --> 00:04:19.534
<v Speaker 1>Prophesy to your family first, yeah, yeah, prophesy to the family that's going through it.

00:04:19.534 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>It ain't been a church in a while.

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:22.067
<v Speaker 2>Uh, prophesied to the family that's going through it.

00:04:22.067 --> 00:04:22.853
<v Speaker 2>It ain't been a church in a while.

00:04:22.853 --> 00:04:23.516
<v Speaker 2>Uh-oh, I feel him.

00:04:23.536 --> 00:04:23.838
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh, I feel him.

00:04:23.858 --> 00:04:23.939
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh.

00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:30.449
<v Speaker 1>Now, after you start prophesying to your family, I need you to prophesy to somebody that you don't know.

00:04:30.449 --> 00:04:34.649
<v Speaker 1>I need you to prophesy to somebody in the room that you don't know.

00:04:34.649 --> 00:04:38.110
<v Speaker 1>I need you to prophesy to somebody on the stream that you don't know.

00:04:38.110 --> 00:04:42.922
<v Speaker 1>Tell them you shall, you shall, you shall.

00:04:42.922 --> 00:04:44.264
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh.

00:04:44.264 --> 00:04:46.427
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, lord, for your presence.

00:04:46.427 --> 00:04:48.110
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh.

00:04:48.110 --> 00:04:50.394
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, lord, for your power.

00:04:50.394 --> 00:04:52.502
<v Speaker 1>I feel him in this house.

00:04:52.502 --> 00:04:53.966
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, lord.

00:04:53.966 --> 00:04:58.103
<v Speaker 1>We don't deserve to feed you like we feel you, but I thank you, god.

00:04:58.103 --> 00:05:03.382
<v Speaker 1>We don't operate just on feelings, but I thank you when you allow us to feel you.

00:05:03.382 --> 00:05:04.064
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh.

00:05:04.064 --> 00:05:05.286
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, lord.

00:05:05.286 --> 00:05:07.752
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, lord, god.

00:05:07.752 --> 00:05:09.762
<v Speaker 1>Our faith is not based on our feelings.

00:05:09.762 --> 00:05:15.562
<v Speaker 1>God, I get that, lord, but I thank you that every now and then you sweep across the room.

00:05:15.562 --> 00:05:16.786
<v Speaker 1>He's here, y'all.

00:05:16.786 --> 00:05:18.391
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:05:18.391 --> 00:05:19.214
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:05:19.214 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.249
<v Speaker 1>Uh oh, he's sweeping across the room.

00:05:23.249 --> 00:05:25.238
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:05:26.023 --> 00:05:26.766
<v Speaker 1>I know some of you.

00:05:26.766 --> 00:05:34.530
<v Speaker 1>You may not be used to being in church often, but what you're feeling now is the presence of God and I need to help you to tap in.

00:05:34.530 --> 00:05:38.699
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to say anything spooky, you don't have to say anything magical.

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:41.646
<v Speaker 1>You just got to be open to the move of God.

00:05:41.646 --> 00:05:45.132
<v Speaker 1>You got to be open to what God is doing in this atmosphere.

00:05:45.132 --> 00:05:49.088
<v Speaker 1>You do know you're not here by happenstance, you're not here by coincidence.

00:05:49.088 --> 00:05:52.545
<v Speaker 1>You're here because God brought you here, and now he wants to speak to you.

00:05:52.545 --> 00:05:57.624
<v Speaker 1>And he wants to speak to you first, so much that he's allowing you to feel him right now.

00:05:57.624 --> 00:06:00.973
<v Speaker 1>So open your heart, because your heart has been hidden.

00:06:00.973 --> 00:06:03.649
<v Speaker 1>Open your heart because you've been protected.

00:06:03.649 --> 00:06:08.312
<v Speaker 1>But God is saying I need you to be vulnerable because he's sweeping through the room.

00:06:08.312 --> 00:06:10.105
<v Speaker 1>Now he's sweeping through the room.

00:06:10.105 --> 00:06:13.591
<v Speaker 1>Come on, I need some men of God in the house, women of God in the house.

00:06:13.591 --> 00:06:14.985
<v Speaker 1>Be vulnerable to God.

00:06:14.985 --> 00:06:16.807
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:06:16.807 --> 00:06:19.148
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh, I feel him here.

00:06:19.148 --> 00:06:25.423
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh, I get excited when we feel God like this.

00:06:25.423 --> 00:06:27.408
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what God is about to do, but it's going to be great.

00:06:27.408 --> 00:06:29.533
<v Speaker 1>I see people giving their lives to him.

00:06:29.533 --> 00:06:31.143
<v Speaker 1>I see transformation.

00:06:31.143 --> 00:06:33.007
<v Speaker 1>I see it happening right now.

00:06:33.007 --> 00:06:35.112
<v Speaker 1>I see full-out recovery happening.

00:06:35.112 --> 00:06:36.682
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:06:36.682 --> 00:06:37.446
<v Speaker 1>Uh-oh, you better get ready.

00:06:37.446 --> 00:06:38.048
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:06:38.048 --> 00:06:38.990
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you better get ready.

00:06:38.990 --> 00:06:40.956
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:06:40.956 --> 00:06:43.262
<v Speaker 1>I believe God is moving in this place.

00:06:43.262 --> 00:06:45.208
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:06:45.208 --> 00:06:47.232
<v Speaker 1>This is our month of recovery.

00:06:47.232 --> 00:06:49.045
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:06:49.045 --> 00:06:50.851
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping across the room.

00:06:50.851 --> 00:06:53.980
<v Speaker 1>I believe that by faith, he's sweeping across the room.

00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:55.403
<v Speaker 1>He's here.

00:06:55.403 --> 00:06:56.906
<v Speaker 1>He's here.

00:06:56.906 --> 00:06:58.327
<v Speaker 1>He's here.

00:06:58.327 --> 00:07:01.711
<v Speaker 1>Hey, he's's here now.

00:07:02.112 --> 00:07:04.175
<v Speaker 1>The Lord is saying teach.

00:07:04.175 --> 00:07:07.641
<v Speaker 1>The Lord told me to say this right here teach.

00:07:07.641 --> 00:07:13.333
<v Speaker 1>He teach the people in the room who want to tap in but don't know how.

00:07:13.333 --> 00:07:20.391
<v Speaker 1>I want to teach the people in the room who want to tap in but don't know how.

00:07:20.391 --> 00:07:38.699
<v Speaker 1>You're in this place of worship and you see people getting excited and part of you want to get excited as well, but you're the type of person you don't do stuff just because other people do it.

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:40.850
<v Speaker 1>So the Lord is saying help them to understand what's happening.

00:07:40.850 --> 00:07:53.389
<v Speaker 1>He says help them to understand that some people around them come into this place of worship broken beyond any of our understanding, and it wasn't just what happened this week.

00:07:53.389 --> 00:07:56.982
<v Speaker 1>It's what they've been dealing with for years and years and years.

00:07:56.982 --> 00:08:18.749
<v Speaker 1>And so when they come in here, and sometimes God just speaks a word, whether it's through a song, or whether it's through the music, or whether it's through a prayer, it gives them just enough encouragement to keep on, keeping on, and that moment of encouragement is what allows them to make it another day, until God shows up and shows out.

00:08:18.749 --> 00:08:24.906
<v Speaker 1>In this situation he says you need to understand that they are no different than you.

00:08:24.906 --> 00:08:31.310
<v Speaker 1>The only difference is is that they've gotten to the place where they're saying God, I'm open to whatever you want to do.

00:08:31.310 --> 00:08:35.643
<v Speaker 1>They've gotten free is what I'm trying to tell you.

00:08:36.605 --> 00:08:39.492
<v Speaker 1>In worship, you know what it means to be free in worship.

00:08:39.492 --> 00:08:43.641
<v Speaker 1>In worship, you know what it means to be free in worship.

00:08:43.641 --> 00:08:46.184
<v Speaker 1>You're not free in worship until you stop looking around and start looking up.

00:08:46.184 --> 00:08:51.212
<v Speaker 1>You're not free in worship.

00:08:51.212 --> 00:08:58.707
<v Speaker 1>Here it is until you get over yourself and what you normally don't do.

00:08:58.707 --> 00:09:03.794
<v Speaker 1>Because how are you asking God for something that he's never done before?

00:09:03.794 --> 00:09:07.489
<v Speaker 1>But you keep coming and telling God what you're uncomfortable with.

00:09:07.489 --> 00:09:14.806
<v Speaker 1>So he's saying to you I need you to be uncomfortable, being uncomfortable today because I want to speak to you.

00:09:14.806 --> 00:09:15.649
<v Speaker 1>You asked for it Now.

00:09:15.649 --> 00:09:16.511
<v Speaker 1>He said now I'm here.

00:09:16.511 --> 00:09:18.786
<v Speaker 1>He said look in the Bible.

00:09:18.786 --> 00:09:23.026
<v Speaker 1>I don't care how strong the man was, I don't care how strong the woman was.

00:09:23.026 --> 00:09:27.589
<v Speaker 1>When they had a real encounter with God, everything shifted.

00:09:27.589 --> 00:09:32.709
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes they found themselves prostrated in his presence.

00:09:32.709 --> 00:09:38.202
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes they found themselves crying uncontrollably the angels in his presence.

00:09:38.202 --> 00:09:47.367
<v Speaker 1>The only thing they can say is holy, holy holy, holy, holy holy holy.

00:09:48.028 --> 00:09:58.346
<v Speaker 1>And he's saying until you get to the place where you realize that I'm here and you just go into a different posture of worship, you won't experience me like you want to and like you need to.

00:09:58.346 --> 00:10:00.553
<v Speaker 1>But the Lord said I brought you here today because today you're going to experience me like you want to and like you need to.

00:10:00.553 --> 00:10:06.481
<v Speaker 1>But the Lord said I brought you here today because today you're going to get free, because part of your recovery is that you got to get free.

00:10:06.481 --> 00:10:10.373
<v Speaker 1>Part of you getting your joy back is that you got to.

00:10:10.373 --> 00:10:14.742
<v Speaker 1>You got to shift your posture as it relates to how you worship.

00:10:14.742 --> 00:10:17.607
<v Speaker 1>You got to see God in a different way.

00:10:17.607 --> 00:10:22.434
<v Speaker 1>And God is saying I want to give you an opportunity to do that today.

00:10:22.434 --> 00:10:28.711
<v Speaker 1>Everyone, under the sound of my voice, that is open to it, the Lord is going to meet you right where you are.

00:10:28.711 --> 00:10:36.813
<v Speaker 1>You will, in Jesus' name, experience God today like you haven't before, by faith, if you open yourself to it.

00:10:36.813 --> 00:10:43.709
<v Speaker 1>Because what's crazy is God wants you to experience him more than you want to experience God.

00:10:43.709 --> 00:10:45.984
<v Speaker 1>It is his desire.

00:10:45.984 --> 00:10:46.848
<v Speaker 1>The Bible is clear.

00:10:46.848 --> 00:10:50.650
<v Speaker 1>He said draw near unto God and he'll do what He'll draw near to you.

00:10:50.650 --> 00:10:54.209
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I want to do for the next two minutes, and we're going to go forward.

00:10:54.209 --> 00:10:56.607
<v Speaker 1>I want you to do whatever you got to do.

00:10:56.607 --> 00:11:01.771
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to some people that never cry out to God.

00:11:01.771 --> 00:11:05.505
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to some people that don't clap their hands often.

00:11:05.505 --> 00:11:09.703
<v Speaker 1>You love God, but the Lord is looking for an expression.

00:11:09.703 --> 00:11:13.943
<v Speaker 1>Today You're a strong man, you're a strong woman.

00:11:13.943 --> 00:11:15.106
<v Speaker 1>You're here.

00:11:15.106 --> 00:11:28.453
<v Speaker 1>You're an analyst, but today your analytics ain't going to fix it, and I need everybody else that worships God freely, like that, to not look to the left or the right to see who is not worshiping.

00:11:28.453 --> 00:11:45.990
<v Speaker 1>I need you to engage and encounter God right now, over the next two minutes, and call out to him in such a way that the atmosphere is so comfortable that somebody that ain't cried in a long time get comfortable crying.

00:11:45.990 --> 00:11:51.751
<v Speaker 1>That the atmosphere is so comfortable that somebody who ain't prayed in a long time they start praying.

00:11:51.751 --> 00:11:56.966
<v Speaker 1>That the atmosphere is so comfortable that spiritual gifts start to go forward.

00:11:56.966 --> 00:12:05.686
<v Speaker 1>We pray in the spirit, we move in the spirit because the Lord is saying we shall recover it all.

00:12:05.686 --> 00:12:32.570
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, let's take the next two minutes the first minute without the help of the band and then the first minute without the help of the band, and then the second minute, the band is going to come right in and help us, because I need you to get more comfortable making a sound.

00:12:32.570 --> 00:12:44.411
<v Speaker 1>All of my men and women of God in the house that are not uncomfortable worshiping God just start making a sound.

00:12:44.411 --> 00:12:46.102
<v Speaker 1>In the Bible.

00:12:46.102 --> 00:12:49.751
<v Speaker 1>When they made a sound, the walls came down.

00:12:49.751 --> 00:12:52.102
<v Speaker 1>In the Bible.

00:12:52.102 --> 00:12:56.596
<v Speaker 1>When they made a sound, the drought came to an end.

00:12:56.596 --> 00:12:59.004
<v Speaker 1>In the Bible.

00:12:59.004 --> 00:13:02.972
<v Speaker 1>When they made a sound, the stone had to roll away.

00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:06.783
<v Speaker 1>Y'all keep worshiping.

00:13:06.783 --> 00:13:09.009
<v Speaker 1>Now I want to talk to the people that don't normally do it.

00:13:09.009 --> 00:13:12.444
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to get you comfortable, connected.

00:13:12.444 --> 00:13:16.342
<v Speaker 1>Man of God, woman of God, I need you to be uncomfortable today.

00:13:16.342 --> 00:13:19.067
<v Speaker 1>I don't need you to sit on your hands today.

00:13:19.067 --> 00:13:21.900
<v Speaker 1>I need you to recover some stuff today.

00:13:21.900 --> 00:13:24.625
<v Speaker 1>I need you to recover some stuff today.

00:13:24.625 --> 00:13:27.030
<v Speaker 1>I need you to recover some stuff today.

00:13:27.030 --> 00:13:30.444
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I need you to recover some stuff today.

00:13:30.444 --> 00:13:33.070
<v Speaker 1>I want my intercessors to walk through, right, quick.

00:13:33.070 --> 00:13:33.939
<v Speaker 1>We're going.

00:13:33.939 --> 00:13:40.021
<v Speaker 1>I want, I want, I want y'all to walk through and I want y'all to look and observe and I we're going to help people recover some stuff today.

00:13:40.662 --> 00:13:42.405
<v Speaker 1>The presence of the Lord is here too thick.

00:13:42.405 --> 00:13:44.347
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:13:44.347 --> 00:13:45.929
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:13:45.929 --> 00:13:47.551
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:13:47.551 --> 00:13:50.255
<v Speaker 1>But I want you to connect to God.

00:13:50.255 --> 00:13:58.373
<v Speaker 1>If I don't do my job, if I don't show you how to connect to God on your own when you're away from church.

00:13:58.373 --> 00:14:07.623
<v Speaker 1>But if you can't do it here, it's going to be hard to do it out there.

00:14:07.683 --> 00:14:08.365
<v Speaker 1>But he's sweeping in the room.

00:14:08.365 --> 00:14:08.887
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:14:08.887 --> 00:14:09.149
<v Speaker 1>He hears you.

00:14:09.149 --> 00:14:11.896
<v Speaker 1>There's an atmosphere in this house that you ought to be able to cry out to your God, that he's sweeping in the room.

00:14:11.896 --> 00:14:12.639
<v Speaker 1>We shall recover it all.

00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:14.660
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:14:14.660 --> 00:14:17.002

<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:14:23.587 --> 00:14:25.368
<v Speaker 1>You shall recover it all.

00:14:25.368 --> 00:14:26.609
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:14:26.609 --> 00:14:28.371
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:14:28.371 --> 00:14:30.492
<v Speaker 1>You shall recover it all.

00:14:30.492 --> 00:14:32.174
<v Speaker 1>Don't be afraid of the move of God.

00:14:32.174 --> 00:14:33.695
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:14:33.695 --> 00:14:34.635
<v Speaker 1>This is what you came for.

00:14:34.635 --> 00:14:37.401
<v Speaker 1>You didn't come for me, you came for God.

00:14:37.401 --> 00:14:38.185

<v Speaker 1>It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

00:14:53.512 --> 00:14:56.039
<v Speaker 1>You just never know what somebody's going through.

00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.444
<v Speaker 1>But the Lord is with you, woman of God.

00:14:58.444 --> 00:14:59.807
<v Speaker 1>He is with you.

00:14:59.807 --> 00:15:01.350

<v Speaker 1>We just want to get you connected with God.

00:15:32.628 --> 00:15:34.279
<v Speaker 1>That's the only reason we came.

00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:35.423

<v Speaker 1>You know you stretch after you've been something on you for a while.

00:16:51.896 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>That was a stretch for somebody.

00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:55.883
<v Speaker 1>It's been on you for a while.

00:16:55.883 --> 00:16:56.664

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:08.027 --> 00:17:16.309
<v Speaker 1>Trying to keep my eyes open, trying to be obedient to the spirit, want to make sure I see all the men and women of God he would allow me to see.

00:17:16.309 --> 00:17:18.282
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:17:18.282 --> 00:17:20.646
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:17:20.646 --> 00:17:23.011
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:23.011 --> 00:17:30.582
<v Speaker 1>I tell you like this the more you learn to connect to God individually, wherever you go, you're going to be comfortable calling him.

00:17:30.582 --> 00:17:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Wherever you go, you're going to be comfortable just crying out to him, not from a place of weakness, but from a posture of strength.

00:17:36.879 --> 00:17:38.932
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room, a place of weakness, but from a posture of strength.

00:17:38.932 --> 00:17:39.821
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:17:39.821 --> 00:17:42.002
<v Speaker 1>He's sweeping in the room.

00:17:43.028 --> 00:17:46.303
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, god, breathe on your people right now.

00:17:46.303 --> 00:17:56.262
<v Speaker 1>God Lord, I don't ever want to stand in front of your people and lie, but I know what you showed me, god.

00:17:56.262 --> 00:17:57.367
<v Speaker 1>You showed me recovery.

00:17:57.367 --> 00:18:04.925
<v Speaker 1>You showed it to me, god, and I thank you, you, god, that even in this moment, people are starting that recovery process.

00:18:04.925 --> 00:18:10.095
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, god, set free.

00:18:10.095 --> 00:18:17.291
<v Speaker 1>God will be careful to give your name the glory, the honor and praise.

00:18:17.291 --> 00:18:20.615
<v Speaker 1>It's in the mighty and undisputed name of Jesus we pray.

00:18:20.615 --> 00:18:30.092
<v Speaker 1>Let the people of God say amen, amen, amen To God, be the glory To God, be the glory To God, be the glory.

00:18:31.434 --> 00:18:51.970
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, listen, family, you may be seated, if you can, in the presence of the Lord I'm going to jump right to it and, flo, as God has given utterance today we're talking about recovering joy, and apparently the Lord would have us to deal with some heaviness first before we could even converse about recovering joy.

00:18:51.970 --> 00:18:56.763
<v Speaker 1>Because until you put your burdens down, there's no room for joy.

00:18:56.763 --> 00:19:06.816
<v Speaker 1>Until you empty out that space that is filled with things that God does not have for you, there's no room for joy.

00:19:06.816 --> 00:19:18.306
<v Speaker 1>So y'all know what we just did for the last few minutes we made room for joy, we making room for joy, we making room for joy, and God just getting started.

00:19:18.306 --> 00:19:29.706
<v Speaker 1>Oh my God, oh my God, ready, get ready, get ready.

00:19:29.706 --> 00:19:32.752
<v Speaker 1>The word from the Lord today is found in the book of Psalm.

00:19:32.752 --> 00:19:44.091
<v Speaker 1>I'll be going from verse 51, chapter 51, from verse 1 through 7 glory to God, glory to God, glory to God.

00:19:44.091 --> 00:19:49.666
<v Speaker 1>You let the woman of God worship and minister, and we're gonna be just fine up here.

00:19:49.666 --> 00:19:57.740
<v Speaker 1>Hallelujah, he's moving in that life and he's moving in yours.

00:19:59.944 --> 00:20:05.932
<v Speaker 4>Thank you God thank you, god, hallelujah.

<v Speaker 1>I thank you for your prayers and your patience.

00:20:58.889 --> 00:21:05.308
<v Speaker 1>Lord move in her life in Jesus' name.

<v Speaker 1>He got you, sis.

00:21:11.664 --> 00:21:13.288
<v Speaker 1>He got you.

00:21:13.288 --> 00:21:16.052
<v Speaker 1>He got you, church, family got you.

00:21:16.052 --> 00:21:16.533
<v Speaker 1>We got you.

00:21:16.533 --> 00:21:20.020
<v Speaker 1>It is well.

00:21:20.020 --> 00:21:29.649
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah.

00:21:32.472 --> 00:21:33.133
<v Speaker 4>Glory to God.

00:21:35.695 --> 00:21:40.991
<v Speaker 1>Today we'll be worshiping from the book of Psalms, psalm 51, verse 1 through 7.

00:21:40.991 --> 00:21:44.429
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to read it today, just for the sake of time.

00:21:44.429 --> 00:21:46.365
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to walk you through it.

00:21:46.365 --> 00:21:51.687
<v Speaker 1>We'll be walking through Psalm 51 over the next two weeks, but today we're just going to deal with the first seven verses.

00:21:51.687 --> 00:22:11.966
<v Speaker 1>Psalm 51 is married to a story in 2 Samuel, so you'll hear me go back and forth between, but I just don't want to lose anyone, but I want to just go as God is giving it to me and we'll see what the Lord is saying.

00:22:11.966 --> 00:22:15.313
<v Speaker 1>Specifically to this 10 o'clock am crowd.

00:22:15.659 --> 00:22:17.865
<v Speaker 1>Psalm 51, verse 1 through 7, is our word for today.

00:22:17.865 --> 00:22:21.233
<v Speaker 1>Let's pray, father, have your way is our word for today.

00:22:21.233 --> 00:22:22.436
<v Speaker 1>Let's pray, father, have your way.

00:22:22.436 --> 00:22:24.787
<v Speaker 1>I thank you for the breakthroughs.

00:22:24.787 --> 00:22:27.669
<v Speaker 1>I thank you for the woman of God who is just travailing and crying out.

00:22:27.669 --> 00:22:29.967
<v Speaker 1>I pray that you touch her right where she is.

00:22:29.967 --> 00:22:33.971
<v Speaker 1>I thank you for others in the room, god, who need to travail and cry out.

00:22:33.971 --> 00:22:44.027
<v Speaker 1>God, they're on the edge of it, but, god, I just pray that you will free them so that they can release and be loosened, father, god, from whatever has had them bound.

00:22:44.027 --> 00:22:44.548
<v Speaker 1>God, have your way.

00:22:44.548 --> 00:22:46.633
<v Speaker 1>Today you're already having your way.

00:22:46.633 --> 00:22:52.232
<v Speaker 1>Take us to another realm in worship and in word.

00:22:52.232 --> 00:22:55.379
<v Speaker 1>Take us to another realm in obedience and sacrifice.

00:22:55.379 --> 00:23:01.201
<v Speaker 1>Take us to another realm in prayer, and God will be careful to give your name all the glory, honor and praise.

00:23:01.201 --> 00:23:02.624
<v Speaker 1>It's in the powerful name of Jesus we pray.

00:23:02.624 --> 00:23:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Let the people of God say amen, amen, amen to God.

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:08.023
<v Speaker 1>Be the glory to God.

00:23:08.023 --> 00:23:09.265
<v Speaker 1>Be the glory to God.

00:23:09.265 --> 00:23:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Be the glory you may be seated in the presence of the Lord.

00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:15.041
<v Speaker 1>Family.

00:23:15.061 --> 00:23:18.066
<v Speaker 1>Today we're talking as we as we go through this month of recovery.

00:23:18.066 --> 00:23:20.928
<v Speaker 1>Today we're talking as we as we go through this month of recovery.

00:23:20.928 --> 00:23:22.490
<v Speaker 1>Today, we're talking about recovering joy.

00:23:22.490 --> 00:23:32.288
<v Speaker 1>In order, in order to understand how to recover joy, we have to look at individuals who have lost all joy and how they were able to come back.

00:23:32.288 --> 00:23:35.533
<v Speaker 1>Today, we're going to look at the life of David.

00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:42.597
<v Speaker 1>David is an individual who was anointed as a young person to become king of all Israel.

00:23:42.597 --> 00:23:45.887
<v Speaker 1>I talk about David often because his life is like ours.

00:23:45.887 --> 00:23:47.090
<v Speaker 1>It has so many layers.

00:23:47.090 --> 00:23:50.461
<v Speaker 1>It has great days and it has horrible days.

00:23:50.461 --> 00:23:53.887
<v Speaker 1>It has days where he followed God perfectly it is.

00:23:53.887 --> 00:23:56.620
<v Speaker 1>It has days where he gets outside of God's will.

00:23:56.620 --> 00:24:06.749
<v Speaker 1>But I love David because David is a reminder that, no matter what happens in our life, even when we stop loving God, god never stops loving us.

00:24:06.749 --> 00:24:11.104
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean, stop loving God when we are disobedient to God?

00:24:11.104 --> 00:24:14.893
<v Speaker 1>In a nutshell, we're saying God, I don't love you as much as I say that I do.

00:24:14.893 --> 00:24:22.134
<v Speaker 1>And even on those days, david is that right reminder that God never leaves us and he never forsakes us.

00:24:22.134 --> 00:24:27.030
<v Speaker 1>David gets to the point where he's anointed as king of all Israel.

00:24:27.030 --> 00:24:35.344
<v Speaker 1>And life is funny because there are these moments and seasons in your life where everything is good until it's not, it's all good until it ain't.

00:24:35.344 --> 00:24:36.887
<v Speaker 1>That was David.

00:24:36.887 --> 00:24:37.568
<v Speaker 1>He was, he was.

00:24:37.568 --> 00:24:38.731
<v Speaker 1>He was anointed to be king.

00:24:38.731 --> 00:24:41.721
<v Speaker 1>That was David.

00:24:41.721 --> 00:24:42.803
<v Speaker 1>He was, he was, he was anointed to be king.

00:24:42.803 --> 00:24:49.301
<v Speaker 1>And David wants to testify to you today, here at Chosen City Church and on the stream, about how he lost his joy but, more importantly, how he got his joy back.

00:24:49.301 --> 00:24:52.484
<v Speaker 1>David is king.

00:24:53.665 --> 00:25:10.253
<v Speaker 1>The spring comes and in the, the second Samuel says this is the time where kings lead their troops out into war, different from today, where a leader or president or something of that effect would never be on the battlefield.

00:25:10.253 --> 00:25:12.186
<v Speaker 1>They would lead from the background.

00:25:12.186 --> 00:25:16.791
<v Speaker 1>In those days, when the king called for war, he would get on his stallion and ride.

00:25:16.791 --> 00:25:29.304
<v Speaker 1>It was very customary for the king to go and lead his troops in the battle, but this particular spring, instead of king, instead of David, leading his troops in the battle, he sent Joab in his place.

00:25:30.567 --> 00:25:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to a few of you in the room and let you know this the reason that you're starting to have issues as it relates to joy is because you've been sending somebody else to do what only you can do.

00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:56.727
<v Speaker 1>The reason that you're having issues as it relates to joy is because the truth of the matter is is that you're in the wrong place, in the wrong position.

00:25:56.727 --> 00:26:00.416
<v Speaker 1>Y'all know about it, cuz some of us just be real we get up every Monday morning and go to that wrong place in the wrong position.

00:26:00.416 --> 00:26:03.951
<v Speaker 1>Y'all know about it because some of us just be real we get up every Monday morning and go to that wrong place in the wrong position.

00:26:03.951 --> 00:26:07.542
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not talking about something that's a difficult assignment.

00:26:07.542 --> 00:26:15.086
<v Speaker 1>Pastoring is a very difficult assignment, but I get up with gladness because I know this is what I was birthed and born to do.

00:26:15.086 --> 00:26:21.971
<v Speaker 1>But I also know what it feels like to get up and be in the wrong place, in the wrong position.

00:26:21.971 --> 00:26:24.547
<v Speaker 1>I don't care how much they pay you, it take your life away.

00:26:24.547 --> 00:26:26.672
<v Speaker 1>Am I lying or am I testifying?

00:26:29.179 --> 00:26:35.381
<v Speaker 1>David teaches us that your joy will start to dissipate when you are in the wrong place doing the wrong thing.

00:26:35.381 --> 00:26:35.922
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean?

00:26:35.922 --> 00:26:52.106
<v Speaker 1>His posture, his position, was supposed to be out in the field leading his troops, and instead he made the decision to stay back in Jerusalem, and that was the beginning of a cycle that caused his joy to go away.

00:26:52.106 --> 00:26:52.567
<v Speaker 1>You know why?

00:26:52.567 --> 00:26:54.031
<v Speaker 1>Because he was outside of God's will.

00:26:54.031 --> 00:27:01.903
<v Speaker 1>So somebody on the outside him staying back in Jerusalem wasn't a big deal, but that wasn't God's will for his life.

00:27:02.865 --> 00:27:07.100
<v Speaker 1>You got to be careful about talking to people about as it relates to what you do.

00:27:07.100 --> 00:27:11.850
<v Speaker 1>It's not a big deal to them, but for you it's outside of God's will.

00:27:11.850 --> 00:27:16.412
<v Speaker 1>For somebody else, oh, it's not a big deal if you don't go to worship, go next time.

00:27:16.412 --> 00:27:17.536
<v Speaker 1>But what was your?

00:27:17.536 --> 00:27:19.081
<v Speaker 1>What was God's will for you today?

00:27:19.081 --> 00:27:26.880
<v Speaker 1>For somebody else, it wasn't a big deal that you decided to go and and, and, and and and not go back to school, or whatever the case may be.

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:27.642
<v Speaker 1>Do something else.

00:27:27.642 --> 00:27:31.329
<v Speaker 1>But what is God's will for you in every situation?

00:27:31.329 --> 00:27:40.489
<v Speaker 1>And the problem of being a believer, the blessing and the curse of it, is we are blessed when we are in his will, but our life become miserable when we are outside of it.

00:27:40.489 --> 00:27:50.048
<v Speaker 1>You ain't going to find joy with nobody or nothing if it's not in alignment with God's will for your life.

00:27:50.048 --> 00:27:55.065
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else on your row can have the best time with it, but not you, because that was not God's will for your life.

00:27:55.065 --> 00:28:02.751
<v Speaker 1>God's will was for David to lead his troops and at that moment he decided to stay in Jerusalem, and it was the beginning of the loss of his joy.

00:28:05.181 --> 00:28:14.140
<v Speaker 1>When you're out of posture, when you're in the wrong position, they said it like this where I came from, an idle mind is a what it's?

00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:15.384
<v Speaker 1>A devil's workshop.

00:28:15.384 --> 00:28:16.427
<v Speaker 1>Y'all was raised.

00:28:16.427 --> 00:28:18.783
<v Speaker 1>Like me, david's mind was idle.

00:28:18.783 --> 00:28:20.229
<v Speaker 1>Y'all can relate.

00:28:20.229 --> 00:28:21.980
<v Speaker 1>I snitched this morning at 8 o'clock.

00:28:21.980 --> 00:28:23.783
<v Speaker 1>I might as well do it at 10.

00:28:24.585 --> 00:28:29.974
<v Speaker 1>You do know that that job that you own, that you really.

00:28:29.974 --> 00:28:37.184
<v Speaker 1>It just take everything of you just to show up and you're not that productive, because the truth of the matter is that ain't really what you called to do.

00:28:37.184 --> 00:28:38.488
<v Speaker 1>It pays the bills.

00:28:38.488 --> 00:28:39.450
<v Speaker 1>Y'all know what I'm talking about.

00:28:39.450 --> 00:28:42.964
<v Speaker 1>I need to let y'all know something, especially y'all virtual workers.

00:28:42.964 --> 00:28:46.521
<v Speaker 1>They got new technology now In the pandemic.

00:28:46.521 --> 00:28:50.658
<v Speaker 1>All y'all had to do is show up and move the mouse and then they'll know.

00:28:50.658 --> 00:28:51.260
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

00:28:51.260 --> 00:28:53.366
<v Speaker 1>At least they think you're still active at the screen.

00:28:53.366 --> 00:29:09.446
<v Speaker 1>They got new technology now and you've been figuring out why I can't really do this job, why I can't keep showing up and moving the mouse or punching the key.

00:29:09.446 --> 00:29:11.913
<v Speaker 1>Why am I always my screen off on the zoom and then I just unmute and say yes, I agree, and then go back.

00:29:11.932 --> 00:29:13.758
<v Speaker 1>You're not a bad person, but an idle mind is the devil's workshop.

00:29:13.758 --> 00:29:17.063
<v Speaker 1>It's hard for you to engage in something your heart ain't in it.

00:29:17.063 --> 00:29:18.567
<v Speaker 1>Let's just be real about it.

00:29:18.567 --> 00:29:27.513
<v Speaker 1>So down David's mind is idle and he's in Jerusalem and an idle mind is the devil's workshop.

00:29:27.513 --> 00:29:35.692
<v Speaker 1>He looks out the window with an idle mind and he's not in his posture that he's supposed to be in.

00:29:35.692 --> 00:29:39.848
<v Speaker 1>He looks out the window and he sees a young lady.

00:29:39.848 --> 00:29:46.011
<v Speaker 1>Her name is Bathsheba and the Bible says that Bathsheba is uniquely beautiful.

00:29:46.011 --> 00:29:52.890
<v Speaker 1>Using today's vernacular, we would probably say that she had the lips, the hips and the fingertips.

00:29:52.890 --> 00:29:57.969
<v Speaker 1>She looked good Problem is that she was not David's wife.

00:29:58.099 --> 00:30:09.744
<v Speaker 1>David had his own wife and at the time he had several, because that was lawful, living at a different time, but he called some of his servants together and said hey, who that is?

00:30:09.744 --> 00:30:13.630
<v Speaker 1>Tell her the king want to holler at her.

00:30:13.630 --> 00:30:18.845
<v Speaker 1>Tell the king say come on and go with me, come on over to my place.

00:30:18.845 --> 00:30:30.250
<v Speaker 1>Truth of the matter is the Bible is not clear on Bathsheba's thought process, but what we know historically and legally.

00:30:30.250 --> 00:30:36.411
<v Speaker 1>At the time she didn't really have much of a choice at the matter because he was king and you couldn't tell the king.

00:30:36.411 --> 00:30:37.259
<v Speaker 1>No, he couldn't tell the king.

00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:46.488
<v Speaker 1>No, he calls her in, they have relations and he sends her back One more time.

00:30:46.488 --> 00:30:53.312
<v Speaker 1>He calls her in, they have relations and he sends her back One more time.

00:30:53.312 --> 00:30:58.876
<v Speaker 1>He calls her in, they have relations and he sends her back.

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:02.963
<v Speaker 1>Can I talk to the people in the room?

00:31:02.963 --> 00:31:05.369
<v Speaker 1>Talk to the ladies and some of the fellas?

00:31:05.369 --> 00:31:21.115
<v Speaker 1>The reason some of you have lost your joy is because too many times you let folk call you in, have relations and send you back.

00:31:21.115 --> 00:31:27.345
<v Speaker 1>You're more valuable than that and it go both ways.

00:31:27.345 --> 00:31:34.948
<v Speaker 1>Some of y'all women are just as bad as some of the fellas Y'all done got so damaged by some fellas, now y'all doing the dudes the same way Call them in and send them back.

00:31:34.948 --> 00:31:37.240
<v Speaker 1>It's cold-blooded out here in these streets.

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:38.461
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm so glad.

00:31:38.461 --> 00:31:42.408
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad my wife's sitting over there.

00:31:42.408 --> 00:31:46.554
<v Speaker 1>I said I'm going to be still because it's rough out here.

00:31:46.554 --> 00:31:50.704
<v Speaker 1>They call you in and they send you back.

00:31:50.704 --> 00:31:52.907
<v Speaker 1>He's sitting there.

00:31:52.907 --> 00:32:03.070
<v Speaker 1>He sent her back and he gets word from her friends through his leadership that she's pregnant.

00:32:05.173 --> 00:32:15.712
<v Speaker 1>When he finds out that she is pregnant, he does something that many of us do when we're going through a difficulty in life, which is we try to cover stuff up.

00:32:15.712 --> 00:32:25.224
<v Speaker 1>But the reality of this life is that the cover-up is always worse than the crime.

00:32:25.224 --> 00:32:32.583
<v Speaker 1>Instead of dealing with the fact that he made a bad choice, he comes up with a plan.

00:32:32.583 --> 00:32:38.561
<v Speaker 1>He calls her husband, who was at war in his fight, the fight that he was supposed to be leading.

00:32:38.561 --> 00:32:38.742
<v Speaker 1>You know.

00:32:38.742 --> 00:32:39.044
<v Speaker 1>He calls Uriah.

00:32:39.044 --> 00:32:42.816
<v Speaker 1>He said call Uriah back here and tell him I want a report from the battlefield.

00:32:42.816 --> 00:32:44.650
<v Speaker 1>He calls Uriah back.

00:32:44.984 --> 00:32:46.569
<v Speaker 1>Uriah, how's it going on the battlefield?

00:32:46.569 --> 00:32:47.894
<v Speaker 1>It's going well, sir.

00:32:47.894 --> 00:32:49.109
<v Speaker 1>Things are going awesome.

00:32:49.109 --> 00:32:49.731
<v Speaker 1>We're in the fight.

00:32:49.731 --> 00:32:52.887
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to make you proud, king, I'm going to go back out here because my troops are out here.

00:32:52.887 --> 00:32:56.594
<v Speaker 1>He said no, uriah man, you're a great fighter.

00:32:56.594 --> 00:32:57.315
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I'm going to do.

00:32:57.315 --> 00:33:02.771
<v Speaker 1>Instead of you going back out to the field, why don't you go to your wife's house?

00:33:02.771 --> 00:33:17.358
<v Speaker 1>Go on home to your wife, stop by CVS and get your Hallmark card, get a little chocolate and stuff, get her some white Ziffindel and go on in the house and have a good evening on courtesy of the king.

00:33:17.358 --> 00:33:18.721
<v Speaker 1>She's been waiting on you.

00:33:18.721 --> 00:33:25.196
<v Speaker 1>I heard she'd be glad to see you Go on because he was trying to cover up the fact that she was pregnant.

00:33:26.164 --> 00:33:36.065
<v Speaker 1>But Uriah, being a man of integrity, said to the king I can't go in my house and be with my wife while my soldiers are losing their life on the battlefield.

00:33:36.065 --> 00:33:42.597
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting in this moment, uriah got more integrity than the king, he and it's.

00:33:42.597 --> 00:33:44.948
<v Speaker 1>And even when David gave him a direct order, he left.

00:33:44.948 --> 00:33:47.835
<v Speaker 1>But instead of going home, he slept outside.

00:33:47.835 --> 00:33:50.205
<v Speaker 1>He slept right near the battle.

00:33:50.205 --> 00:33:57.239
<v Speaker 1>And when David said hey, did Uriah pick up the CVS card?

00:33:57.239 --> 00:33:58.550
<v Speaker 1>Did he get the white Zippendale?

00:33:58.550 --> 00:34:00.051
<v Speaker 1>Did he get the chocolates and the flowers?

00:34:00.051 --> 00:34:01.690
<v Speaker 1>Did he go on home?

00:34:01.690 --> 00:34:03.234
<v Speaker 1>And you know, handle business.

00:34:03.234 --> 00:34:04.971
<v Speaker 1>They said no, he refused to go in the house.

00:34:04.971 --> 00:34:06.990
<v Speaker 1>We couldn't even make him go in the house.

00:34:07.784 --> 00:34:12.436
<v Speaker 1>And because the cover-up is worse than the crime, david makes a horrible decision.

00:34:12.436 --> 00:34:31.206
<v Speaker 1>He decides I'm going to tell you what we're going to do then Send Uriah back out to war, put him in the hardest part of the battle and when the fight gets heavy, draw back all of his backup, draw back all of the soldiers, so he'll be isolated and die.

00:34:31.206 --> 00:34:34.429
<v Speaker 1>This is David now, the one that God anointed.

00:34:34.429 --> 00:34:38.994
<v Speaker 1>Now we're talking about, which is always interesting to me, because I'm going to show you something.

00:34:38.994 --> 00:34:42.876
<v Speaker 1>We got to be careful in this cancel culture that we live in.

00:34:42.876 --> 00:34:46.621
<v Speaker 1>We live in a culture that will cancel folks for anything.

00:34:46.621 --> 00:34:48.141
<v Speaker 1>You got to be careful.

00:34:48.141 --> 00:35:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Just because a person messes up, don't mean we had our authority to cancel them.

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:06.494
<v Speaker 1>David makes some horrible choices here and then he gets word that Uriah has been killed in battle and he thinks that he's covered it up.

00:35:06.494 --> 00:35:10.150
<v Speaker 1>But the truth of the matter is he's going through what some of you all go through.

00:35:10.150 --> 00:35:11.012
<v Speaker 1>I've gone through it.

00:35:11.634 --> 00:35:15.750
<v Speaker 1>Anybody in the room ever gone through a season of your life where you can't feel God like you used to?

00:35:15.750 --> 00:35:18.054
<v Speaker 1>I've been there several times.

00:35:18.054 --> 00:35:18.855
<v Speaker 1>Like God, I love you.

00:35:18.855 --> 00:35:20.277
<v Speaker 1>I just don't feel.

00:35:20.277 --> 00:35:22.708
<v Speaker 1>It was a time in my life I felt you right near me.

00:35:22.708 --> 00:35:27.826
<v Speaker 1>It was a time in my life I felt like if I prayed, if I decreed and I declared it would come to pass.

00:35:27.826 --> 00:35:33.974
<v Speaker 1>But now I'm in a season, god, where I don't feel you like I used to, and that's David, because of the choices that he made.

00:35:34.074 --> 00:35:38.259
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that I enjoy about phrases is some of them make a lot of sense.

00:35:38.259 --> 00:35:43.710
<v Speaker 1>It says, when you don't feel that God is as close to you as you as he used to be.

00:35:43.710 --> 00:35:45.494
<v Speaker 1>The question is who moved?

00:35:45.494 --> 00:35:56.717
<v Speaker 1>Who moved David not feeling God like he used to, but God, he loves David.

00:35:56.717 --> 00:35:59.184
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to somebody in the room today.

00:35:59.184 --> 00:36:02.474
<v Speaker 1>I know you haven't been feeling God like you used to, but God loves you.

00:36:02.474 --> 00:36:06.371
<v Speaker 1>That's why you are here today, of all days, of all places you could have been.

00:36:06.371 --> 00:36:10.152
<v Speaker 1>You are here today for a reason because God has a word from the Lord that he wants to share with you.

00:36:10.152 --> 00:36:13.107
<v Speaker 1>He wants you to understand a couple of things.

00:36:13.107 --> 00:36:20.789
<v Speaker 1>First, he wants you to understand that whenever he needs to get a message across to you, he'll send it through a prophet.

00:36:20.789 --> 00:36:24.313
<v Speaker 1>He'll send it through a person with a word that's directly from him.

00:36:24.313 --> 00:36:26.472
<v Speaker 1>And so God sends a prophet by the name of Nathan.

00:36:27.404 --> 00:36:31.315
<v Speaker 1>David is in the room, not feeling God like he used to, and Nathan comes in.

00:36:31.315 --> 00:36:34.911
<v Speaker 1>He said, nathan, what's going on, bro?

00:36:34.911 --> 00:36:36.471
<v Speaker 1>He said long live the king.

00:36:36.471 --> 00:36:38.228
<v Speaker 1>There is a word from the Lord.

00:36:38.228 --> 00:36:39.291
<v Speaker 1>He said go ahead.

00:36:39.291 --> 00:36:40.755
<v Speaker 1>He said I want to tell you a story.

00:36:40.755 --> 00:36:41.885
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, nate.

00:36:41.885 --> 00:36:42.328
<v Speaker 1>What you got.

00:36:43.152 --> 00:36:45.644
<v Speaker 1>He said I'm going to tell you about something that's going on in the kingdom right now.

00:36:45.644 --> 00:36:46.766
<v Speaker 1>He said really, what's up?

00:36:46.766 --> 00:36:48.407
<v Speaker 1>He says there's a farmer in the kingdom.

00:36:48.407 --> 00:36:49.927
<v Speaker 1>He's poor.

00:36:49.927 --> 00:36:51.869
<v Speaker 1>He got one little lamb.

00:36:51.869 --> 00:36:52.730
<v Speaker 1>I like King James.

00:36:52.730 --> 00:36:54.070
<v Speaker 1>King James called it a ewe lamb.

00:36:54.070 --> 00:36:56.512
<v Speaker 1>He got one little ewe lamb, little baby lamb.

00:36:56.512 --> 00:36:57.693
<v Speaker 1>He carried it.

00:36:57.693 --> 00:36:59.014
<v Speaker 1>Y'all, just like I'm doing this.

00:36:59.034 --> 00:37:00.516
<v Speaker 1>The Bible says he carried a little lamb.

00:37:00.516 --> 00:37:04.318
<v Speaker 1>He would let the little lamb sit at the dinner table.

00:37:04.318 --> 00:37:05.840
<v Speaker 1>He would pet the little lamb.

00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:07.601
<v Speaker 1>The family loved the little lamb.

00:37:07.601 --> 00:37:13.168
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it was a beautiful little sight, feeding the little lamb by a little bottle and everything.

00:37:13.168 --> 00:37:13.607
<v Speaker 1>Cute little lamb.

00:37:13.607 --> 00:37:14.610
<v Speaker 1>God bless your little baby lamb.

00:37:14.610 --> 00:37:16.253
<v Speaker 1>He carrying the lamb around everywhere.

00:37:16.253 --> 00:37:20.019
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that they got in that life, in their life, is that baby little lamb.

00:37:20.844 --> 00:37:25.576
<v Speaker 1>Well, one day a rich ruler comes into town and decides to have a feast no problem with that.

00:37:25.576 --> 00:37:29.634
<v Speaker 1>And the ruler has lamb, he has cattle, he has everything.

00:37:29.634 --> 00:37:32.208
<v Speaker 1>And if he didn't have it he had enough resources to buy it.

00:37:32.208 --> 00:37:47.971
<v Speaker 1>But instead of buying a lamb for the feast, the rich ruler decides I'm going to take that poor man's one and only baby lamb, you know, the one that he'd been carrying, the one he'd been feeding by the bottle, the one that he let his daughter pet, the one that he allows to sit at the dinner table.

00:37:47.971 --> 00:37:53.411
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take his only lamb and I'm going to barbecue that thing up.

00:37:53.411 --> 00:37:58.192
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to put some dales on it, I'm going to put some seasoning, some lorries on it.

00:37:58.192 --> 00:37:59.710
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to barbecue that little lamb.

00:37:59.710 --> 00:38:02.150
<v Speaker 1>Real good Chops for everybody tonight.

00:38:03.105 --> 00:38:10.958
<v Speaker 1>Problem is, he took everything that that poor man had and it broke his heart, it broke his spirit, it broke his soul.

00:38:10.958 --> 00:38:21.186
<v Speaker 1>David, heartbroken by this story, said so.

00:38:21.186 --> 00:38:24.965
<v Speaker 1>David, heartbroken by this story, said who is this rich ruler that would come into this kingdom and do one of my citizens like that?

00:38:24.965 --> 00:38:30.048
<v Speaker 1>Bring him before me, and bring him before me now so he could be dealt with accordingly.

00:38:30.048 --> 00:38:42.706
<v Speaker 1>Nathan looked him in the eyes and said thou art the man eyes and said thou art the man.

00:38:42.706 --> 00:38:44.690
<v Speaker 1>He said when you took Bathsheba away from Uriah, you took everything that he had.

00:38:44.690 --> 00:38:49.302
<v Speaker 1>When you, when you not only took it from Uriah, you also took it from her.

00:38:49.302 --> 00:38:57.867
<v Speaker 1>She had been faithful to her husband, so you took it from him, you took it from her, you harmed the kingdom and then, what's worse is, you had him killed.

00:38:59.811 --> 00:39:06.012
<v Speaker 1>At this point there is no joy left in David and I want to talk to some people right now for a few minutes.

00:39:06.012 --> 00:39:07.360
<v Speaker 1>We won't be very long.

00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.230
<v Speaker 1>I know preachers say that you say, oh man, that means extra long, not today.

00:39:10.230 --> 00:39:10.791
<v Speaker 1>I promise you.

00:39:10.791 --> 00:39:13.116
<v Speaker 1>You're saved by a third service.

00:39:13.116 --> 00:39:17.126
<v Speaker 1>You saved by a third service, but won't he do it?

00:39:17.126 --> 00:39:19.568
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you for real.

00:39:21.710 --> 00:39:23.811
<v Speaker 1>Your facts may not be David's facts.

00:39:23.811 --> 00:39:30.436
<v Speaker 1>You may not have done what David has done, but the truth of the matter is that every last one of us can look at our lives.

00:39:30.436 --> 00:39:33.817
<v Speaker 1>We can see decisions on our journey that cost us our joy.

00:39:33.817 --> 00:39:50.014
<v Speaker 1>You look back and say, man, had I went to school for this, my financial situation could possibly be better, had I not answered that one black planet I'm taking some of y'all back.

00:39:50.014 --> 00:39:53.304
<v Speaker 1>Had I not answered that one black planet message, things would have went different in my life.

00:39:53.304 --> 00:39:56.784
<v Speaker 1>Things would have went different in my life.

00:39:56.784 --> 00:40:21.074
<v Speaker 1>And the problem is this as long as you keep looking back, it's an indicator that you're dealing with regret, and as long as you're dealing with regret, it is almost impossible for you to have the joy unspeakable that the Bible talks about.

00:40:21.096 --> 00:40:22.842
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to some people in the room that says that you got to be free from regret.

00:40:22.842 --> 00:40:24.166
<v Speaker 1>You have to understand this about your God.

00:40:24.166 --> 00:40:28.726
<v Speaker 1>Number one it's never too late for him, and if it's never too late for him, it's never too late for you.

00:40:28.726 --> 00:40:45.152
<v Speaker 1>What's crazy about God is that he has this way of, even if I made wrong decision after wrong decision after wrong decision after wrong decision after wrong decision, all of a sudden, through the power of the Holy Ghost, I make that one right decision and everything else is canceled.

00:40:45.152 --> 00:40:52.306
<v Speaker 1>The Lord is saying some of you today, oh, you need to make that one.

00:40:52.306 --> 00:40:56.255
<v Speaker 1>I hear the Lord saying you make this one right decision and everything else is going to be canceled.

00:40:56.255 --> 00:41:06.746
<v Speaker 1>Because if there was, if God didn't have the ability to cancel our bad decisions, then that meant that our bad decisions are greater than our God.

00:41:06.746 --> 00:41:19.871
<v Speaker 1>But since our God is greater, I could have spent the last 10 years making bad decisions, but then I have an encounter with the master and everything changes.

00:41:21.393 --> 00:41:26.960
<v Speaker 1>So David teaches us a few things about how to get our joy back.

00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:40.496
<v Speaker 1>There are some principles here, four words, and we out of here today, I want you to remember these four words and we walk through them Confess Everybody say, confess, express.

00:41:40.496 --> 00:41:42.010
<v Speaker 1>Everybody say express, lean.

00:41:42.010 --> 00:41:48.893
<v Speaker 1>Everybody say lean, plead, confess, express, lean, plead.

00:41:48.893 --> 00:41:51.257
<v Speaker 1>Confess, express, lean, plead.

00:41:51.257 --> 00:41:52.418
<v Speaker 1>We're going to walk through those today.

00:41:52.418 --> 00:41:56.668
<v Speaker 1>For those that are not here, I did this one time before.

00:41:56.668 --> 00:41:59.615
<v Speaker 1>That's how my mind brings me to where the Holy Spirit would want me to be.

00:41:59.615 --> 00:42:05.007
<v Speaker 1>I'm studying my scriptures and I see one thing and it sticks out, and that's what sticks out for the scriptures that I want to share with you today.

00:42:05.007 --> 00:42:10.027
<v Speaker 1>So these four words are going to help us to get our joy back today by believing, by faith, to at least start that process.

00:42:10.027 --> 00:42:13.994
<v Speaker 1>So David teaches us, and the first thing that we got to learn is we're going to get our joy back.

00:42:13.994 --> 00:42:14.715
<v Speaker 1>We got to confess.

00:42:14.715 --> 00:42:15.635
<v Speaker 1>Everybody say confess.

00:42:16.336 --> 00:42:18.739
<v Speaker 1>Here it is in the we must confess our sin.

00:42:18.739 --> 00:42:21.110
<v Speaker 1>Second Samuel, the 12th chapter, verse 13.

00:42:21.110 --> 00:42:24.882
<v Speaker 1>And David said unto Nathan I have sinned against the Lord.

00:42:24.882 --> 00:42:29.594
<v Speaker 1>And Nathan said unto David the Lord also has put away thy sin.

00:42:29.594 --> 00:42:32.922
<v Speaker 1>Thou shalt not die.

00:42:32.922 --> 00:42:35.710
<v Speaker 1>There are two amazing things that happen in this particular verse.

00:42:36.172 --> 00:42:38.809
<v Speaker 1>First thing, david confesses the fact that I did the crime.

00:42:38.809 --> 00:42:42.947
<v Speaker 1>I cheated, I messed up, I did it, I did bad, I did multiple things bad.

00:42:42.947 --> 00:42:50.094
<v Speaker 1>And you should be saying to yourself there is something that you need to confess to God right now, and I'm trying to get us to understand.

00:42:50.094 --> 00:42:55.152
<v Speaker 1>It's not that I believe that most of us are doing things as horrible as David.

00:42:55.152 --> 00:42:56.154
<v Speaker 1>Most of us are not.

00:42:56.154 --> 00:43:00.057
<v Speaker 1>Some of us are Amen, somebody, but most of us are not doing that kind of stuff.

00:43:00.057 --> 00:43:00.581
<v Speaker 1>We're going to be real.

00:43:00.581 --> 00:43:01.125
<v Speaker 1>We're going to be real.

00:43:01.125 --> 00:43:07.295
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to get everybody saved and set free those that's doing the crime and those that's thinking about doing the crime Amen.

00:43:07.295 --> 00:43:09.112
<v Speaker 1>It's a thin line between us.

00:43:09.112 --> 00:43:22.349
<v Speaker 1>Right, you didn't smack them, but you sure thought about it.

00:43:22.349 --> 00:43:23.952
<v Speaker 1>But there are other things that we have to confess.

00:43:23.972 --> 00:43:27.925
<v Speaker 1>David had to confess his sins, but a simple definition of what sin is helps us to understand confession in this moment.

00:43:27.925 --> 00:43:32.516
<v Speaker 1>A simple definition of what sin is is that sin is missing the mark.

00:43:32.516 --> 00:43:36.766
<v Speaker 1>You've heard that before, and so what I'm trying to do is to say some of you are.

00:43:36.766 --> 00:43:39.878
<v Speaker 1>You have lost your joy because you missed the mark.

00:43:39.878 --> 00:43:43.188
<v Speaker 1>You were supposed to do something and it didn't work.

00:43:43.188 --> 00:43:45.833
<v Speaker 1>You tried it and it fell and you missed the mark.

00:43:45.833 --> 00:43:47.036
<v Speaker 1>And now you feel like God.

00:43:47.036 --> 00:43:59.380
<v Speaker 1>You told me to do this and I didn't do it, and now I'm sad and now I'm depleted, and now I'm disappointed because I thought my life was going to be here and instead it's over there, and you got to confess that fact, that you feel like you missed it.

00:43:59.380 --> 00:44:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Some people have to confess the fact that at the end of the day, I heard from the Lord, but I keep making excuses about every reason why I should not do what God has called me to do.

00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:12.210
<v Speaker 1>And if that's you, god is saying I want you to get your joy back.

00:44:12.210 --> 00:44:13.755
<v Speaker 1>But you got to confess it.

00:44:14.637 --> 00:44:23.188
<v Speaker 1>Every one of us should come in weekly and think about there is something that we need to confess to God that is impacting our ability to feel God like we used to.

00:44:23.188 --> 00:44:26.485
<v Speaker 1>When I'm looking at confession, I'm not looking to the left or the right.

00:44:26.485 --> 00:44:27.570
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at my own self.

00:44:27.570 --> 00:44:41.715
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the fact that I got to confess that sometimes I lost faith, sometimes I stopped trusting, sometimes I started listening to other voices, sometimes I started being influenced by other things, and I got to confess it.

00:44:41.715 --> 00:44:45.956
<v Speaker 1>If I'm going to get my joy back, all I'm trying to tell you is that you got to be real with God.

00:44:45.956 --> 00:44:52.268
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, I need y'all to take about 15 seconds right here and just start to confess to God.

00:44:52.268 --> 00:45:08.791
<v Speaker 1>Not to Pastor Walt, not to your neighbor, but I want you to confess to God the thing that's causing you not to have joy, everything that is negative that has come out of your mouth about what you can't do, everything that has come out of your mouth about the frustrations that you have.

00:45:08.791 --> 00:45:13.228
<v Speaker 1>It's a wonderful opportunity, under the power of the Holy Ghost, to confess it.

00:45:13.288 --> 00:45:17.217
<v Speaker 1>If I'm going to get my joy back, I need some confessors in the room.

00:45:17.217 --> 00:45:17.898
<v Speaker 1>I'm ashamed.

00:45:17.898 --> 00:45:22.056
<v Speaker 1>I'm ashamed to confess that I've dealt with this and I've dealt with that.

00:45:22.056 --> 00:45:25.795
<v Speaker 1>Now you, or everybody in the room, ought to be just confessing to God right now.

00:45:25.795 --> 00:45:27.090
<v Speaker 1>Matter of fact, I'm going to give you 10 seconds.

00:45:27.090 --> 00:45:27.992
<v Speaker 1>I ain't going to say nothing.

00:45:27.992 --> 00:45:45.532
<v Speaker 1>It's unusual being by yourself in a room of crowded people in there, because that moment was just you and God.

00:45:45.552 --> 00:45:52.228
<v Speaker 1>He confesses that he has these issues, but then what's the next word?

00:45:52.228 --> 00:45:52.547
<v Speaker 1>Family?

00:45:52.547 --> 00:45:53.929
<v Speaker 1>What's the next word family?

00:45:53.929 --> 00:45:55.451
<v Speaker 1>What's the next word he expresses?

00:45:55.451 --> 00:45:58.574
<v Speaker 1>We must express our pain.

00:45:58.574 --> 00:46:01.858
<v Speaker 1>After you confess God, I've had these issues.

00:46:01.858 --> 00:46:03.641
<v Speaker 1>After you confess God, I didn't trust you.

00:46:03.641 --> 00:46:07.353
<v Speaker 1>After you confess God, I've been bound by fear.

00:46:07.353 --> 00:46:08.904
<v Speaker 1>After you confess God, I've dealt with anxiety and depression.

00:46:08.904 --> 00:46:12.255
<v Speaker 1>After you confess God that I made some bad choices.

00:46:12.255 --> 00:46:19.893
<v Speaker 1>After you confess, the next thing to help you get your joy back is that you have to express your pain.

00:46:19.893 --> 00:46:21.556
<v Speaker 1>I want to show you something that is not.

00:46:21.576 --> 00:46:27.512
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to find in the digital version of the Bible, depending on where you look, but if you got the old school paper kind, they still make those y'all.

00:46:27.512 --> 00:46:32.949
<v Speaker 1>If you got old school paper kind, there's an introduction in Psalm 51 that marries us to 2 Samuel.

00:46:32.949 --> 00:46:36.918
<v Speaker 1>2 Samuel happens and then Psalm 51 is the response.

00:46:36.918 --> 00:46:44.206
<v Speaker 1>2 Samuel happens, meaning that's when David messed up, but in response David expresses himself in Psalm 51.

00:46:44.206 --> 00:46:52.815
<v Speaker 1>Y'all walking with me, pastor Jay told me to make sure the second service that y'all understood the connection between the 2 Samuel story and the Psalm 51 story.

00:46:52.815 --> 00:46:53.197
<v Speaker 1>Amen.

00:46:53.197 --> 00:46:53.985
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, pastor Jay.

00:46:53.985 --> 00:46:55.467
<v Speaker 1>I think they're walking with us now.

00:46:55.467 --> 00:46:55.989
<v Speaker 1>So now.

00:46:56.509 --> 00:47:02.440
<v Speaker 1>But what he is doing here is he's expressing himself, and I love this expression.

00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:05.690
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm going to get to what he expressed.

00:47:05.690 --> 00:47:20.646
<v Speaker 1>But y'all do know that what makes this an expression, but more than an expression, is that it's a Holy Spirit inspired expression, which is why we reverence it as the Word of God.

00:47:20.646 --> 00:47:35.453
<v Speaker 1>We understand that the Word of God was written through men inspired by the power of the Holy Ghost, and so this became scripture for us because, even though it was David's expression, it was written under the unction of the Holy Ghost.

00:47:35.453 --> 00:47:45.496
<v Speaker 1>It was written to be a blessing to you and to be a blessing to me, so that when we go through these seasons of life where we're trying to recover it all, he said I need to give y'all something from one of my best.

00:47:45.496 --> 00:47:51.732
<v Speaker 1>Now, what's crazy and it'll blow your mind, but all of y'all that's good at canceling people.

00:47:51.732 --> 00:47:57.166
<v Speaker 1>Check this out, david Marcus, check this out, bro.

00:47:58.561 --> 00:48:12.512
<v Speaker 1>David wrote the Bible part of the Bible after he slept with another man's wife, had that man killed, tried to cover the whole dog thing up.

00:48:12.512 --> 00:48:13.451
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna run it.

00:48:13.451 --> 00:48:25.436
<v Speaker 1>He wrote the Bible, after he committed adultery, after he was an accomplice to murder, after he did what he did to that woman.

00:48:25.436 --> 00:48:34.510
<v Speaker 1>It messed your head up because it don't make sense, because you've been taught that you had to be so blessed and highly favored to be used by God.

00:48:34.510 --> 00:48:40.953
<v Speaker 1>You've been taught that you couldn't have a yesterday and when you have a yesterday you can't pray no more.

00:48:40.953 --> 00:48:46.594
<v Speaker 1>You've been taught that because you stayed out late the other night, that God can't use you.

00:48:46.594 --> 00:48:52.856
<v Speaker 1>But it's crazy that my mess-ups don't account for the anointing that is on my life.

00:48:52.856 --> 00:49:01.041
<v Speaker 1>That is on my life.

00:49:01.041 --> 00:49:07.849
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't say that there are not consequences, because David suffered major consequences, but in the middle of the day he was still called.

00:49:07.849 --> 00:49:13.251
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to talk to somebody and say don't worry about the fact you've had to deal with consequences.

00:49:13.251 --> 00:49:23.985
<v Speaker 1>The Lord is saying that you're still called and you're coming out better on the other side of it, still anointing.

00:49:23.985 --> 00:49:24.788
<v Speaker 1>So watch this.

00:49:26.413 --> 00:49:34.869
<v Speaker 1>In the introduction of Psalm 51, as he tells us how to recover at all, he makes it plain because some scripture is not plain who the author is.

00:49:34.869 --> 00:49:41.733
<v Speaker 1>Psalm 51, he said listen for the choir director.

00:49:41.733 --> 00:49:44.715
<v Speaker 1>If you understand Psalms, they would write.

00:49:44.715 --> 00:49:52.782
<v Speaker 1>Psalms were written back in those days, like our Muslim sisters and brothers travel to Mecca today as their place of worship.

00:49:52.782 --> 00:49:57.690
<v Speaker 1>Back in those days, believers would travel to Jerusalem for the place of worship.

00:49:57.690 --> 00:50:05.556
<v Speaker 1>You had to worship, you had to get to Jerusalem in that time, and on the way to Jerusalem, they would sing songs of Psalms of Ascent.

00:50:05.576 --> 00:50:10.674
<v Speaker 1>I think Pastor Young once preached a sermon about the you know, I was listening, it was online.

00:50:10.674 --> 00:50:18.237
<v Speaker 1>It was good too About Psalms of Ascent, because they needed something to help them along the way.

00:50:18.237 --> 00:50:24.264
<v Speaker 1>And so, after David went through his trauma, he allowed his trauma to become his testimony.

00:50:24.264 --> 00:50:26.710
<v Speaker 1>He said write it down.

00:50:26.710 --> 00:50:29.635
<v Speaker 1>Give it to the choir director, write it down.

00:50:29.635 --> 00:50:32.728
<v Speaker 1>Give it to give it to minister brandy, write it down.

00:50:32.728 --> 00:50:35.311
<v Speaker 1>Give it to pastor chris, write it down.

00:50:35.311 --> 00:50:38.217
<v Speaker 1>Give it to Minister Brandy, write it down.

00:50:38.217 --> 00:50:39.478
<v Speaker 1>Give it to Pastor.

00:50:39.820 --> 00:50:39.980
<v Speaker 2>Chris.

00:50:39.980 --> 00:50:40.340
<v Speaker 2>Write it down.

00:50:40.340 --> 00:50:41.342
<v Speaker 2>Give it to Pastor Rosa.

00:50:41.342 --> 00:50:41.922
<v Speaker 2>Write it down.

00:50:41.922 --> 00:50:42.625
<v Speaker 2>Take a picture.

00:50:45.616 --> 00:50:47.224
<v Speaker 1>I ain't trying to lose myself, but you get what I'm trying to tell you.

00:50:47.224 --> 00:50:49.840
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't the same of his trauma.

00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.326
<v Speaker 1>His trauma became a testimony.

00:50:52.326 --> 00:50:58.431
<v Speaker 1>He said write my mess up down so that everybody can see that I messed up.

00:50:58.431 --> 00:51:01.893
<v Speaker 1>Everybody can see that I made a bad choice.

00:51:01.893 --> 00:51:06.356
<v Speaker 1>But I'm still here and I think that's the part of us.

00:51:06.356 --> 00:51:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Getting our joy back is not diving too deep on what we did.

00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:13.201
<v Speaker 1>Some of y'all analyzed y'all yesterday too much.

00:51:13.201 --> 00:51:21.849
<v Speaker 1>You need to be celebrating the fact that you're still here, and now it's the time to ask God what's next?

00:51:21.849 --> 00:51:27.052
<v Speaker 1>I need some people in the room that don't mind talking to God, saying God, I'm still here Now, what's next?

00:51:27.052 --> 00:51:29.695
<v Speaker 1>You kept me through that, so what's next?

00:51:29.695 --> 00:51:32.737
<v Speaker 1>It didn't take me out, so what's next?

00:51:32.737 --> 00:51:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Other people died from it.

00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:35.219
<v Speaker 1>So what's next?

00:51:35.219 --> 00:51:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Other people died from it.

00:51:35.799 --> 00:51:36.320
<v Speaker 1>So what's next?

00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:38.461
<v Speaker 1>Other people lost their minds.

00:51:38.461 --> 00:51:39.882
<v Speaker 1>So what's next?

00:51:39.882 --> 00:51:41.786
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

00:51:41.786 --> 00:51:43.047
<v Speaker 1>I got a what's next?

00:51:43.047 --> 00:51:56.396
<v Speaker 1>Praise in my spirit, because eyes haven't seen or ears haven't heard what the Lord has in store, but he's revealed it to the hearts and minds of his people.

00:51:56.396 --> 00:52:00.153
<v Speaker 1>So he expresses his pain.

00:52:00.153 --> 00:52:08.634
<v Speaker 1>Remind me of that Fuji song strumming my pain with his fingers.

00:52:16.085 --> 00:52:17.489
<v Speaker 1>What's crazy about expression.

00:52:17.489 --> 00:52:21.395
<v Speaker 1>Watch this, hey, family.

00:52:21.395 --> 00:52:31.195
<v Speaker 1>There's a reason why we're excited about ricky smiley coming to the church on september, the 27th.

00:52:31.195 --> 00:52:34.692
<v Speaker 1>I believe it has nothing to do with money or income.

00:52:34.692 --> 00:52:45.469
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, they asked me what the fee would be and I said no charge, because there's a ministry associated with this particular moment.

00:52:45.469 --> 00:52:52.007
<v Speaker 1>This particular move is because Ricky Smiley is doing what David did and what I'm trying to get you to do.

00:52:52.007 --> 00:52:58.052
<v Speaker 1>See, some of you may be familiar with Ricky Smiley from his jokes and his comedy, but this book is not about comedy.

00:52:58.052 --> 00:53:04.880
<v Speaker 1>This book is an expression of a man, a black man, who lost two sons to drug overdoses.

00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:08.615
<v Speaker 1>That's real.

00:53:08.615 --> 00:53:21.956
<v Speaker 1>And instead of that trauma becoming something that killed him on the inside and took his joy away, he expressed it through pen and paper.

00:53:21.976 --> 00:53:24.864
<v Speaker 1>And I want to talk to some of you in the room and say stop letting the trauma be the thing that take your joy away, but express it.

00:53:24.864 --> 00:53:30.382
<v Speaker 1>Some of you all will write the book and it will be a bestseller in Jesus name.

00:53:30.382 --> 00:53:31.346
<v Speaker 1>But there's another crowd.

00:53:31.346 --> 00:53:33.088
<v Speaker 1>You're going to write the book.

00:53:33.088 --> 00:53:34.630
<v Speaker 1>And the purpose of you writing the book?

00:53:34.630 --> 00:53:39.858
<v Speaker 1>It may not sell a copy, but it's going to be an expression so you can get it off of you.

00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:45.539
<v Speaker 1>There are some psychologists, psychiatrists, in the room right now.

00:53:45.539 --> 00:53:55.291
<v Speaker 1>They didn't know that they was following the biblical process, but there's a type of treatment you can receive from a psychologist or a psychiatrist and they'll have you to write.

00:53:55.291 --> 00:53:55.951
<v Speaker 1>Did y'all know that?

00:53:55.951 --> 00:53:57.114
<v Speaker 1>Some of us have done that before?

00:53:57.114 --> 00:54:00.751
<v Speaker 1>They'll even have you to write a letter to God telling God how you feel.

00:54:00.751 --> 00:54:03.768
<v Speaker 1>They didn't know that they was coming straight out of the Bible with that.

00:54:03.989 --> 00:54:09.570
<v Speaker 1>But expression is therapeutic and I'm trying to get some of you all to express yourselves.

00:54:09.570 --> 00:54:11.996
<v Speaker 1>You've been holding it in too long.

00:54:11.996 --> 00:54:13.259
<v Speaker 1>That's one of them right there.

00:54:13.259 --> 00:54:22.597
<v Speaker 1>See one of our great therapists right there, yeah, when she tried to get women to go, and she ministers to women who have struggled in this journey.

00:54:22.597 --> 00:54:27.851
<v Speaker 1>She ministers to women who have been broken beyond your understanding and what she gets them to do is to express themselves.

00:54:27.851 --> 00:54:34.014
<v Speaker 1>And I'm trying to get somebody to get your joy back and the Lord has said you got to express it.

00:54:35.157 --> 00:54:39.748
<v Speaker 1>Do y'all understand why we started this sermon by some of y'all just crying out to God?

00:54:39.748 --> 00:54:52.226
<v Speaker 1>Because sometimes we express ourselves in writing and sometimes we express ourselves in our creative abilities, but sometimes we got to express ourselves in worship.

00:54:52.226 --> 00:54:59.527
<v Speaker 1>Real worship is crying out to God, regardless of how you feel, god, I'm mad, but I'm here.

00:54:59.527 --> 00:55:02.516
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand, but I'm gonna praise you.

00:55:02.516 --> 00:55:08.090
<v Speaker 1>I'm really frustrated but, lord, I trust I'm gonna worship you Anyhow.

00:55:09.413 --> 00:55:16.333
<v Speaker 1>Expression is necessary in this season because some of you have been holding on to stuff for way too long.

00:55:16.333 --> 00:55:19.230
<v Speaker 1>Can I meddle with the men for just a second?

00:55:19.230 --> 00:55:23.806
<v Speaker 1>Men, there are some of you all that are afraid to express yourself.

00:55:23.806 --> 00:55:25.588
<v Speaker 1>I see you in church.

00:55:25.588 --> 00:55:31.840
<v Speaker 1>You're too hardcore, you're a triple OG, you bout that life, I get it.

00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:33.427
<v Speaker 1>And some of y'all are for real.

00:55:33.427 --> 00:55:34.670
<v Speaker 1>I mean I be looking, I say, yeah, he bout that life, I get it.

00:55:34.670 --> 00:55:35.311
<v Speaker 1>And some of y'all are for real.

00:55:35.311 --> 00:55:36.956
<v Speaker 1>I mean I mean, look, I said yeah, he, he, he bought that life.

00:55:36.956 --> 00:55:37.778
<v Speaker 1>Y'all.

00:55:37.778 --> 00:55:39.262
<v Speaker 1>Y'all know the real ones from the fake ones.

00:55:39.262 --> 00:55:39.724
<v Speaker 1>Amen, something.

00:55:39.724 --> 00:55:42.414
<v Speaker 1>But I'm so glad we got some real ones in here.

00:55:42.976 --> 00:55:45.326
<v Speaker 1>Now don't go back to what God didn't deliver you from.

00:55:45.326 --> 00:55:49.353
<v Speaker 1>But I do understand that that that you will inch away every now and then.

00:55:49.353 --> 00:55:53.018
<v Speaker 1>But I want to talk to you, fellas, about expressing yourselves.

00:55:53.018 --> 00:55:57.226
<v Speaker 1>I learned this from the Bible, but I also learned it from my own father.

00:55:57.226 --> 00:55:57.869
<v Speaker 1>My own father.

00:55:57.869 --> 00:55:58.811
<v Speaker 1>He's a.

00:55:58.811 --> 00:56:00.474
<v Speaker 1>He's a Marine, former Marine.

00:56:00.474 --> 00:56:02.366
<v Speaker 1>They say once a Marine, always a Marine.

00:56:02.366 --> 00:56:23.967
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about what that's all about, but he's a Marine, he's a pastor, he's a state trooper, he's the dude that when I got in trouble in the seventh, eighth grade for my grades and they had to go see the counselor my mom and dad going through a divorce at the time and my grades went down and the counselor wanted to talk Took me up in the counselor's office.

00:56:23.967 --> 00:56:24.829
<v Speaker 1>I'm having a flashback.

00:56:24.829 --> 00:56:25.692
<v Speaker 1>They gave it like yesterday.

00:56:26.132 --> 00:56:29.239
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting up there, miss Kenny Bear, miss Kenny Bear, that's what they call her.

00:56:29.239 --> 00:56:30.931
<v Speaker 1>Miss Kenny Bear called my daddy.

00:56:30.931 --> 00:56:39.253
<v Speaker 1>My mama was in the room and she said could call my daddy.

00:56:39.253 --> 00:56:44.932
<v Speaker 1>She said mr Bowers, I'm sitting here with your son and and and your ex-wife and I think I figured out why he's struggling so much in class.

00:56:44.932 --> 00:56:52.402
<v Speaker 1>He's, uh, he's depressed behind the divorce and he's not dealing with it so well that his grades are going down.

00:56:52.402 --> 00:57:01.286
<v Speaker 1>And my mama, she's sitting there like that and she put her hand on my shoulder and I'm like yep, yep, yep, my daddy.

00:57:01.286 --> 00:57:03.134
<v Speaker 1>You know this was before Zoom.

00:57:03.134 --> 00:57:04.309
<v Speaker 1>You had to be on conference call.

00:57:04.309 --> 00:57:07.192
<v Speaker 1>My daddy said my boy sitting by you.

00:57:07.192 --> 00:57:08.856
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, he right here.

00:57:08.856 --> 00:57:13.326
<v Speaker 1>You want to say some words of encouragement, you want to talk to him, she said.

00:57:13.326 --> 00:57:20.056
<v Speaker 1>He said, boy, bring another D home and see what happened to you.

00:57:20.056 --> 00:57:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Counseling session over.

00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:23.405
<v Speaker 1>Now.

00:57:23.405 --> 00:57:27.036
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying, I'm not telling you to go home and do that.

00:57:27.036 --> 00:57:28.929
<v Speaker 1>They might call the people on you and stuff.

00:57:28.929 --> 00:57:29.471
<v Speaker 1>Don't do that.

00:57:29.471 --> 00:57:31.476
<v Speaker 1>That was a different crowd, that was a different day.

00:57:31.476 --> 00:57:34.570
<v Speaker 1>But watch this.

00:57:35.565 --> 00:57:37.693
<v Speaker 1>It gave me a false impression of who my dad was.

00:57:37.693 --> 00:57:42.653
<v Speaker 1>I knew he loved me and I knew he was no nonsense, but I didn't know that my dad had an expressive side.

00:57:42.653 --> 00:57:50.471
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't until many years later when I was doing some writing and doing some stuff and my dad wrote his book.

00:57:50.471 --> 00:58:00.168
<v Speaker 1>My dad wrote his book talking about being raised in the south and segregation and being one of the early first black police officers in the state of Alabama and all that stuff and everything that he went through.

00:58:00.168 --> 00:58:05.858
<v Speaker 1>At the end of the book y'all he had 10 pages of poetry.

00:58:05.858 --> 00:58:09.315
<v Speaker 1>I used to write poetry since I was in elementary school.

00:58:09.315 --> 00:58:13.295
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't going to tell the former Marine state trooper that I write no poetry.

00:58:13.295 --> 00:58:15.204
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was going to smack me or something.

00:58:15.204 --> 00:58:15.746
<v Speaker 1>Former Marine state trooper.

00:58:15.746 --> 00:58:16.106
<v Speaker 1>I write no poetry.

00:58:16.106 --> 00:58:29.432
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was going to smack me or something, but what happened was he had this expressive part of him that I didn't even know existed and it was in me because I got it from him and we missed out on the connection because we were unwilling to express.

00:58:29.452 --> 00:58:35.130
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to get some men in the room to help you to understand that you got to get to the point that you express to your sons and daughters.

00:58:35.130 --> 00:58:38.657
<v Speaker 1>You got to get to the point that you express to other men on the block.

00:58:38.657 --> 00:58:43.048
<v Speaker 1>You, you got to get to the point that you express in church.

00:58:43.048 --> 00:58:53.090
<v Speaker 1>And the danger is, I'm concerned, if you can't express yourself to god, are you going to express yourself to your son?

00:58:53.090 --> 00:58:59.940
<v Speaker 1>If you can't express yourself to, you're going to keep shutting down every time your wife wants to have a conversation.

00:58:59.940 --> 00:59:03.054
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to free some men in the house of God.

00:59:03.054 --> 00:59:19.798
<v Speaker 1>If you ever learn to be vulnerable to God, after a while you'll learn how to be vulnerable to your spouse, you'll learn how to be vulnerable to your girlfriend and in our vulnerability and expectation, somebody's going to get their joy back.

00:59:20.561 --> 00:59:26.607
<v Speaker 1>I need to talk to somebody in the room and the Lord is saying that if you express yourself today, you're going to start to get some joy back.

00:59:26.607 --> 00:59:28.114
<v Speaker 1>Do y'all listen?

00:59:28.114 --> 00:59:34.552
<v Speaker 1>Can you receive that by faith, that if I express myself today, I'm going to start to get some joy back?

00:59:34.552 --> 00:59:36.837
<v Speaker 1>We ought to express ourselves in worship.

00:59:36.837 --> 00:59:38.770
<v Speaker 1>We ought to express ourselves in song.

00:59:38.770 --> 00:59:40.898
<v Speaker 1>We ought to express ourselves in dance.

00:59:40.898 --> 00:59:51.793
<v Speaker 1>We ought to express ourselves in tears because when David went through, the first thing he did was he expressed himself and then, after he expressed himself, he confessed.

00:59:52.594 --> 00:59:53.317
<v Speaker 1>He expressed.

00:59:53.317 --> 00:59:53.998
<v Speaker 1>What's the next word?

00:59:53.998 --> 00:59:54.298
<v Speaker 1>Family?

00:59:54.298 --> 00:59:56.250
<v Speaker 1>Lean, he leaned.

00:59:56.250 --> 01:00:05.500
<v Speaker 1>Listen, family, if you're going to get your joy back, you got to lean on the relationship that we have with God.

01:00:05.500 --> 01:00:10.817
<v Speaker 1>I want to help somebody get their relationship back by leaning on your relationship that you got with God.

01:00:10.817 --> 01:00:15.507
<v Speaker 1>Stop leaning on your own understanding, stop leaning on other people In this season.

01:00:15.507 --> 01:00:18.875
<v Speaker 1>To get your joy back, you got to lean on the relationship that you have with God.

01:00:18.875 --> 01:00:21.092
<v Speaker 1>Watch here in the text Look what David does.

01:00:21.264 --> 01:00:22.289
<v Speaker 1>He starts out early.

01:00:22.289 --> 01:00:24.510
<v Speaker 1>He ain't talking the real talk.

01:00:24.510 --> 01:00:25.951
<v Speaker 1>He ain't talking to the people that he hurt.

01:00:25.951 --> 01:00:33.134
<v Speaker 1>Not that he didn't owe them a conversation, but he's not talking to them right now Because at some point on the journey you can't talk to nobody but God.

01:00:33.134 --> 01:00:37.186
<v Speaker 1>Point on the journey.

01:00:37.186 --> 01:00:38.027
<v Speaker 1>You can't talk to nobody but God.

01:00:38.027 --> 01:00:38.788
<v Speaker 1>He's talking straight to God now.

01:00:38.808 --> 01:00:46.732
<v Speaker 1>He said have mercy upon me, oh God, according to thy loving kindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

01:00:46.732 --> 01:00:47.954
<v Speaker 1>What is he trying to get us to see?

01:00:47.954 --> 01:01:01.150
<v Speaker 1>He's trying to get us to see that after he messed up so bad, he leaned on his relationship with God, because in our relationship with God we find grace and we find mercy.

01:01:01.150 --> 01:01:09.500
<v Speaker 1>Grace, we understand, is that unmarried favor, when God blesses us just because he loves us and just because he wants to do something greater.

01:01:09.500 --> 01:01:10.684
<v Speaker 1>But mercy is different.

01:01:10.684 --> 01:01:23.195
<v Speaker 1>Mercy is I did cheat on my spouse, I did have Uriah killed, I did try to cover the whole thing up, but in the midst of it all, god had mercy on me.

01:01:24.585 --> 01:01:33.755
<v Speaker 1>And when I realized that we, when you realize you serve a merciful God, the first thing that'll happen is that you can start to forgive yourself.

01:01:33.755 --> 01:01:35.407
<v Speaker 1>Ah, there are people in the room.

01:01:35.407 --> 01:01:37.313
<v Speaker 1>You lost your joy because you can start to forgive yourself.

01:01:37.313 --> 01:01:38.215
<v Speaker 1>Now there are people in the room.

01:01:38.215 --> 01:01:39.940
<v Speaker 1>You've lost your joy because you have yet to forgive yourself.

01:01:39.940 --> 01:01:41.105
<v Speaker 1>You keep living in regret.

01:01:41.105 --> 01:01:52.632
<v Speaker 1>But if you lean on the relationship that you have with God and start to learn that God's mercy towards you is more than enough to restore you.

01:01:52.632 --> 01:01:56.900
<v Speaker 1>It's more than enough to put you back to where you're supposed to be.

01:01:56.900 --> 01:02:03.295
<v Speaker 1>His mercy towards you says that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus.

01:02:03.295 --> 01:02:10.134
<v Speaker 1>His mercy is what's going to get you to the place they would have you to be.

01:02:10.875 --> 01:02:12.097
<v Speaker 1>He goes on a little bit further.

01:02:12.097 --> 01:02:16.094
<v Speaker 1>He says God, not only have mercy for me.

01:02:16.094 --> 01:02:19.735
<v Speaker 1>In the end of verse 1, he said blot out my transgressions.

01:02:19.735 --> 01:02:22.692
<v Speaker 1>Then he goes to verse 2.

01:02:22.692 --> 01:02:33.938
<v Speaker 1>In verse 2, he asks to be washed thoroughly, good God Almighty, from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

01:02:33.938 --> 01:02:35.811
<v Speaker 1>I feel a prophetic utterance.

01:02:35.811 --> 01:02:36.746
<v Speaker 1>Do y'all know what that means?

01:02:36.746 --> 01:02:39.692
<v Speaker 1>So y'all don't know that we just don't be saying stuff, to just say it.

01:02:39.692 --> 01:02:51.711
<v Speaker 1>When we say it from the biblical worldview perspective, in the middle of teaching and preaching, you feel something that is a rhema word, right here, right now, for whoever can receive it by faith.

01:02:51.711 --> 01:02:54.034
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I see in verse 2.

01:02:55.016 --> 01:03:02.791
<v Speaker 1>The Lord is saying that he is about to wash us thoroughly from our iniquity.

01:03:02.791 --> 01:03:05.657
<v Speaker 1>Remember, iniquity is sin, which means that we missed the mark.

01:03:05.657 --> 01:03:10.403
<v Speaker 1>So some of you have been carrying the stain of the fact that you didn't finish school.

01:03:10.403 --> 01:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>You've been carrying the stain of the fact that you made a bad choice when you moved.

01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:15.927
<v Speaker 1>You've been carrying the stain of the fact that you was in a bad relationship.

01:03:15.927 --> 01:03:16.898
<v Speaker 1>You've been carrying the stain of the fact that you made a bad choice when you moved.

01:03:16.898 --> 01:03:17.661
<v Speaker 1>You've been carrying the stain of the fact that you was in a bad relationship.

01:03:17.661 --> 01:03:21.125
<v Speaker 1>You've been carrying the stain of the fact that you made a bad choice.

01:03:21.184 --> 01:03:33.719
<v Speaker 1>But the Lord is saying for anybody in the house in this month of recovery, he's about to wash you and cleanse you from whatever has had you bound and has been blocking your joy.

01:03:33.719 --> 01:03:36.217
<v Speaker 1>But you got to receive that by faith.

01:03:36.217 --> 01:03:39.009
<v Speaker 1>Somebody who can receive it by faith say he's about to wash me.

01:03:39.009 --> 01:03:43.427
<v Speaker 1>Somebody who can receive it by faith it's a faithful who say he's about to wash me.

01:03:43.427 --> 01:03:45.411
<v Speaker 1>He's about to wash me.

01:03:45.411 --> 01:03:48.958
<v Speaker 1>He's about to wash me, I'm going to be free now.

01:03:48.958 --> 01:03:51.148
<v Speaker 1>I'm not, I'm not, it's not going to bother me now.

01:03:51.889 --> 01:03:53.712
<v Speaker 1>Look at the next verse, verse 3,.

01:03:53.712 --> 01:04:04.737
<v Speaker 1>He goes on in verse 3, and he says for I acknowledge my transgressions, going back to confession, and my sin is forever before me.

01:04:04.737 --> 01:04:05.498
<v Speaker 1>Look at verse 4.

01:04:05.498 --> 01:04:17.277
<v Speaker 1>Against thee only have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight, that thou might be justified when thou speaketh and be clear when thou judgest.

01:04:17.277 --> 01:04:23.114
<v Speaker 1>I want to remind you of something that was in verse one and it's mentioned all the way through these first four verses.

01:04:24.346 --> 01:04:33.896
<v Speaker 1>The Lord is also saying through these scriptures that he's going to blot it out, because in verse three, david acknowledges the fact that his sin is ever before him.

01:04:33.896 --> 01:04:38.326
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, elder Nicky, this is where I want to preach right here.

01:04:38.326 --> 01:04:44.740
<v Speaker 1>Some of you have lost joy because it is ever before you.

01:04:44.740 --> 01:04:47.025
<v Speaker 1>It is ever before you.

01:04:47.025 --> 01:04:50.289
<v Speaker 1>The abortion is ever before you.

01:04:50.289 --> 01:04:53.634
<v Speaker 1>The abuse is ever before you.

01:04:53.634 --> 01:04:56.418
<v Speaker 1>You can't have joy every day.

01:04:56.418 --> 01:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>You get up in the morning.

01:04:57.320 --> 01:04:59.969
<v Speaker 1>The first thing you think about is the it that's before you.

01:04:59.969 --> 01:05:10.527
<v Speaker 1>It wakes you up and sometimes you'll go a couple of days or a couple of weeks without thinking about it and the moment you try to smile, here it come again.

01:05:10.527 --> 01:05:17.099
<v Speaker 1>So the Lord is saying I got to give you your joy back because I'm going to blot it out.

01:05:17.099 --> 01:05:24.605
<v Speaker 1>I feel I feel a white out, holy Ghost anointing.

01:05:24.605 --> 01:05:29.956
<v Speaker 1>I got a Elder J they understand my crazy Bible talk.

01:05:29.956 --> 01:05:34.253
<v Speaker 1>I got a white out, holy Ghost anointing and that white out.

01:05:34.253 --> 01:05:36.076
<v Speaker 1>Holy Ghost anointing just hit this house.

01:05:36.657 --> 01:05:38.230
<v Speaker 1>Do y'all understand what some mean to blot?

01:05:38.230 --> 01:05:43.933
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I can talk to you in the Hebrew and the Greek, but this time I'm going to take you to the office store.

01:05:43.933 --> 01:05:47.072
<v Speaker 1>You go down to the office store and you make a mistake on paper.

01:05:47.072 --> 01:05:49.972
<v Speaker 1>You go down there and you get you some whiteout.

01:05:49.972 --> 01:05:55.409
<v Speaker 1>And if you apply the whiteout, I can't see that stuff no more.

01:05:55.409 --> 01:06:12.324
<v Speaker 1>And what's crazy is if I white it out on the paper, good God almighty, and take that paper and put it on a copy machine, there'll be no evidence of the whiteout either.

01:06:14.985 --> 01:06:19.909
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just trying to talk to some people in the room that got a whiteout in their spirit that God, you're going to white out the sting of that last situation.

01:06:19.909 --> 01:06:23.615
<v Speaker 1>You're going to white out the pain of that divorce.

01:06:23.615 --> 01:06:26.889
<v Speaker 1>God, you're about to make me over again.

01:06:26.889 --> 01:06:34.353
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had some people that could praise God, because you see God about to white some stuff out that's been keeping you bound.

01:06:34.353 --> 01:06:36.378
<v Speaker 1>I see the Lord about to white some stuff out that's been keeping you bound.

01:06:36.378 --> 01:06:39.831
<v Speaker 1>I see the Lord about to wipe some stuff out that has been blocking your praise.

01:06:39.831 --> 01:06:46.335
<v Speaker 1>He's about to wipe some stuff out that's been getting in the way of the vision that he has for your life.

01:06:46.335 --> 01:06:57.577
<v Speaker 1>Because the truth of the matter is, you can't see the promised land because all you see is the stain of the situation.

01:06:57.577 --> 01:07:07.385
<v Speaker 1>You can't see the vision because all you see is the violence and the suffering and being a victim of what you've gone through.

01:07:07.385 --> 01:07:16.179
<v Speaker 1>But the Lord is saying I'm about to change your eyesight now because I'm about to wipe some stuff out so you can see what I see.

01:07:17.206 --> 01:07:28.270
<v Speaker 1>The Lord is saying that there has to be a confession, there has to be an expression that we have to lean on our relationship with him.

01:07:28.270 --> 01:07:29.894
<v Speaker 1>We have to own it.

01:07:29.894 --> 01:07:32.992
<v Speaker 1>He owned it by saying God, it's against you I sin.

01:07:32.992 --> 01:07:39.049
<v Speaker 1>He said punish me as if I sinned against you, not as if I sinned against Bathsheba and Uriah.

01:07:39.049 --> 01:07:40.212
<v Speaker 1>Watch this carefully, verse 4.

01:07:40.212 --> 01:07:43.951
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense now, through the power of the Holy Ghost, because this is a difficult verse.

01:07:43.991 --> 01:07:45.996
<v Speaker 1>I'm like God, you sinned.

01:07:45.996 --> 01:07:47.186
<v Speaker 1>Throw me that towel, man.

01:07:47.186 --> 01:07:48.467
<v Speaker 1>I said God, you sinned.

01:07:48.467 --> 01:07:54.393
<v Speaker 1>He sinned against Uriah, he sinned against Bathsheba, he sinned against his people.

01:07:54.393 --> 01:07:57.378
<v Speaker 1>So how he got the nerve to say against you alone I sinned.

01:07:57.378 --> 01:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But then I saw a little bit further.

01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:05.340
<v Speaker 1>He said so that when you punish me, punish me as if I sinned against you, not as if I sinned against them.

01:08:05.340 --> 01:08:10.509
<v Speaker 1>In other words, when he was saying was, as a king, I could do what I wanted to do.

01:08:10.509 --> 01:08:14.273
<v Speaker 1>So my punishment for sinning against a servant is pretty much nothing.

01:08:14.273 --> 01:08:16.717
<v Speaker 1>I can really do what I want to do to Uriah.

01:08:16.717 --> 01:08:17.478
<v Speaker 1>Who going to check me?

01:08:17.478 --> 01:08:18.338
<v Speaker 1>That's some of y'all attitude.

01:08:18.338 --> 01:08:19.020
<v Speaker 1>Who going to check me?

01:08:19.020 --> 01:08:22.112
<v Speaker 1>I see y'all on Facebook, y'all who going to check me, god.

01:08:22.112 --> 01:08:27.296
<v Speaker 1>So he said don't punish me, god, as a king that did wrong to a servant.

01:08:27.296 --> 01:08:32.050
<v Speaker 1>Punish me, god, as a servant that did wrong to a king.

01:08:33.672 --> 01:08:47.910
<v Speaker 1>I acknowledge that I messed up, god and into your hands I put my spirit God because I know in your hands there's still going to be mercy, even when there are consequences for the crime.

01:08:47.910 --> 01:08:55.530
<v Speaker 1>Men and women of God, I'm speaking joy and there could be joy even when there are consequences, my sisters and brothers.

01:08:55.530 --> 01:08:59.478
<v Speaker 1>Last thing we are reminded that we must do what.

01:08:59.478 --> 01:09:07.451
<v Speaker 1>We must confess, we must express, we must lean, but here's the last one we must plead.

01:09:07.451 --> 01:09:13.356
<v Speaker 1>We must plead the blood of Jesus.

01:09:13.356 --> 01:09:16.474
<v Speaker 1>Last one and we're done for the day We'll pick up next week.

01:09:16.474 --> 01:09:28.035
<v Speaker 1>Check this out, verse 7, david says this purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean.

01:09:28.035 --> 01:09:34.853
<v Speaker 1>Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.

01:09:35.661 --> 01:09:41.432
<v Speaker 1>Today I intentionally went to the King James Version because I needed you to understand what David was asking for.

01:09:41.432 --> 01:09:52.562
<v Speaker 1>Because I needed you to understand what David was asking for when he specifically said purge me with hyssop, he was essentially pleading for the blood to cleanse him from all unrighteousness.

01:09:52.562 --> 01:09:57.773
<v Speaker 1>We live in a time now where people don't believe in pleading the blood.

01:09:57.773 --> 01:10:01.349
<v Speaker 1>That sounds too churchy, it sounds too cute.

01:10:01.349 --> 01:10:03.516
<v Speaker 1>It don't make a lot of sense.

01:10:03.516 --> 01:10:07.026
<v Speaker 1>You ain't gonna sell a lot of books talking about plead the blood of Jesus.

01:10:07.026 --> 01:10:11.065
<v Speaker 1>You probably won't pack out a church talking about plead the blood of Jesus.

01:10:11.065 --> 01:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>But I'm here to tell you, if you want your joy back, you better learn how to plead the blood.

01:10:15.280 --> 01:10:20.124
<v Speaker 1>You say, pastor Walt, I didn't see blood in the text.

01:10:20.124 --> 01:10:21.764
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm here to help you see it.

01:10:22.765 --> 01:10:57.552
<v Speaker 1>When he said, purge me with hyssop hyssop was a plant with medicinal value and it was used by priests in the book of Exodus, in the book of Leviticus, whenever there was a sin or whenever there was a request for somebody to be forgiven of sins, whenever Israel had gotten out of the way, the priests would take the hyssop branch and they would dip it in the blood of a lamb that had been slain and then they would sprinkle the blood over whatever needed to be purified.

01:10:57.552 --> 01:11:08.949
<v Speaker 1>So when David said, purge me with the hyssop, what he was saying is that what I have gone through was so bad, what has stained me was so horrible.

01:11:08.949 --> 01:11:13.626
<v Speaker 1>I cheated on my wife, I had a man killed, I let my kingdom down.

01:11:13.626 --> 01:11:17.391
<v Speaker 1>That ordinary forgiveness won't get this one, lord.

01:11:17.391 --> 01:11:20.269
<v Speaker 1>He said I got to plead the blood.

01:11:20.269 --> 01:11:23.527
<v Speaker 1>He said I need to be purged with the hyssop.

01:11:23.527 --> 01:11:31.472
<v Speaker 1>He says I need the hyssop to be dipped in the blood so everything and every stain can be washed away from me.

01:11:32.541 --> 01:11:40.703
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad that in the Old Testament we're reminded of the power of pleading the blood In the Old Testament.

01:11:40.703 --> 01:11:49.416
<v Speaker 1>What's amazing is, no matter what the sin was, there was always a drip of blood for the problem.

01:11:49.416 --> 01:12:02.947
<v Speaker 1>If an individual went to the priest and he had cheated on his spouse, the priest had an answer for his predicament and it was found in the atoning blood.

01:12:02.947 --> 01:12:17.324
<v Speaker 1>If an individual went to the priest and they had a drug abuse situation in their veins, there was always an answer and it was found in the hyssop and the sprinkling of the blood.

01:12:18.025 --> 01:12:23.533
<v Speaker 1>I understand I live in a generation now that y'all don't value bloodshed.

01:12:23.533 --> 01:12:28.307
<v Speaker 1>You don't value bloodshed in the spirit and truth of the matter.

01:12:28.307 --> 01:12:30.855
<v Speaker 1>We don't value bloodshed in the natural.

01:12:30.855 --> 01:12:44.995
<v Speaker 1>I know this because, as a advocate for voting rights, I teach people that you will never get this generation to vote simply by talking about what the ancestors did.

01:12:44.995 --> 01:12:53.780
<v Speaker 1>I was once at a speech and they said don't you know that your ancestors shed blood for you to be able to vote?

01:12:53.780 --> 01:13:06.013
<v Speaker 1>But the young people feel so far removed from that that they didn't connect with the concept that blood was the reason that they can opt in or opt out of the process.

01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:08.786
<v Speaker 1>And the way that they were dismissive.

01:13:08.786 --> 01:13:16.832
<v Speaker 1>It was not because they were being rude, it's just that they just didn't understand and embrace the power of the blood.

01:13:16.832 --> 01:13:20.410
<v Speaker 1>It had happened so many years ago in their mind.

01:13:20.410 --> 01:13:33.831
<v Speaker 1>We understand that it happened last night, but for them this bloodshed was well before they were born, which results in a generation that doesn't understand the power of the blood.

01:13:33.831 --> 01:13:52.731
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's been over 2,000 years now since our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ, was hung high and stretched wide, and I'm getting concerned y'all that we're raising a generation of church people that don't understand the power of the blood.

01:13:53.481 --> 01:13:55.148
<v Speaker 1>We see it as an Easter speech.

01:13:55.148 --> 01:13:58.309
<v Speaker 1>We see it as something we talk about on First Sunday.

01:13:58.961 --> 01:14:04.271
<v Speaker 2>But we have gotten so far removed from it that we've forgotten about that.

01:14:04.311 --> 01:14:05.974
<v Speaker 1>The blood still works.

01:14:05.974 --> 01:14:16.751
<v Speaker 1>Can I take you to the Old Testament, when the Lord released the deaf angel in an effort to free his children in Israel?

01:14:16.751 --> 01:14:24.230
<v Speaker 1>He said I need you to go down and take the Egyptians firstborn, because they refused to let my people go.

01:14:24.230 --> 01:14:31.942
<v Speaker 1>He said the deaf angel wouldn't know a good person from a bad person, wouldn't know an Egyptian from an Israelite.

01:14:31.942 --> 01:14:38.882
<v Speaker 1>He said there's going to be only one thing that's going to separate the Egyptians from the Israelites.

01:14:39.383 --> 01:15:01.990
<v Speaker 2>He said I need every priest of every household to get you a hyssop branch and I need you to get you an unblemished lamb, and I need you to sacrifice the unblemished lamb and I need you to take the hyssop branch and dip it in the blood of the unblemished lamb, and I need you to put it on your doorposts.

01:15:02.311 --> 01:15:10.629
<v Speaker 1>So when the deaf angel comes, because of the blood deaf is going to pass over your house.

01:15:11.380 --> 01:15:13.528
<v Speaker 2>And I need to talk to some people in the room.

01:15:14.300 --> 01:15:19.573
<v Speaker 1>You didn't make it to September 2024 because of happenstance.

01:15:19.573 --> 01:15:25.513
<v Speaker 1>You didn't make it to September 24 because of your good looks.

01:15:26.421 --> 01:15:37.028
<v Speaker 2>The only reason that you made it is because somebody in your bloodline believed in the power of the blood.

01:15:37.028 --> 01:15:47.341
<v Speaker 2>They was praying for you with your one prayer for yourself, and I said, lord, I want the people to recover it all.

01:15:47.341 --> 01:15:57.401
<v Speaker 2>He said tell the people that the blood still works and it'll never lose its power.

01:15:57.401 --> 01:16:04.894
<v Speaker 2>He said teach the people how to plead the blood over whatever has taken their joy away.

01:16:04.894 --> 01:16:10.012
<v Speaker 2>Plead the blood over whatever keeps them up at night.

01:16:10.012 --> 01:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Plead the blood over their children and their finances.

01:16:14.840 --> 01:16:33.420
<v Speaker 2>And I wonder what would happen if everybody in the room would suddenly start to think about the thing that's been trying to steal your joy and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, you get, like David, and start to bleed the blood.

01:16:33.420 --> 01:16:38.532
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had some people who don't mind praying like that.

01:16:39.221 --> 01:16:45.374
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had some people who believe that the blood will give you your joy back.

01:16:45.374 --> 01:16:48.865
<v Speaker 2>Because what can wash away my sin?

01:16:48.865 --> 01:16:51.209
<v Speaker 2>Nothing but the blood.

01:16:51.209 --> 01:16:54.115
<v Speaker 2>What can make me whole again?

01:16:54.115 --> 01:16:56.703
<v Speaker 2>Nothing but the blood.

01:16:56.703 --> 01:17:01.271
<v Speaker 2>Oh, how precious is the blood.

01:17:01.271 --> 01:17:05.557
<v Speaker 2>Oh, how precious is his name.

01:17:05.557 --> 01:17:08.269
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had some help in here.

01:17:08.961 --> 01:17:16.052
<v Speaker 2>Some people that don't mind, some people from the old way that don't mind bleeding the blood.

01:17:16.052 --> 01:17:18.509
<v Speaker 2>I bleed the blood.

01:17:18.509 --> 01:17:23.692
<v Speaker 2>I bleed the blood over this entire church.

01:17:23.692 --> 01:17:28.692
<v Speaker 2>I bleed the blood until they ever recover at all.

01:17:28.692 --> 01:17:33.331
<v Speaker 2>I bleed the blood until he comes back home.

01:17:33.331 --> 01:17:37.911
<v Speaker 2>I bleed the blood until our children get saved.

01:17:37.911 --> 01:17:42.512
<v Speaker 2>I bleed the blood until my mind gets right.

01:17:42.512 --> 01:17:45.411
<v Speaker 2>I bleed the blood until my mind gets right.

01:17:45.411 --> 01:17:47.039
<v Speaker 2>I plead the blood until my health turns around.

01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:51.832
<v Speaker 2>I plead the blood until I recover it all.

01:17:52.722 --> 01:17:54.429
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had some help in here.

01:17:54.429 --> 01:18:05.768
<v Speaker 2>I plead the blood repeating the promise God promised me Take back what the enemy has stole from me.

01:18:05.768 --> 01:18:13.548
<v Speaker 2>And I rejoice today because I shall recover it all.

01:18:13.548 --> 01:18:30.854
<v Speaker 2>I don't get it Bowers, because the blood still works and it'll never, ever, never, ever, never, ever lose its power.

01:18:30.854 --> 01:18:44.015
<v Speaker 2>And if you believe that the blood still works and if you believe that you're going to recover it all, and if you believe you're going to leave here with joy.

01:18:44.015 --> 01:18:52.493
<v Speaker 2>I need you to give God the type of worship that shows him you believe in the blood saving power.

01:18:52.493 --> 01:18:55.570
<v Speaker 2>You believe in the blood's weight making power.

01:18:55.570 --> 01:18:59.030
<v Speaker 2>You believe in the blood's miracle working power.

01:18:59.030 --> 01:19:18.066
<v Speaker 2>You believe in the blood Still works, still works, still works, still works.

01:19:18.066 --> 01:19:19.588

<v Speaker 2>I got this.

01:19:19.949 --> 01:19:23.895
<v Speaker 2>Still works, still works.

<v Speaker 1>Let's celebrate God in this sanctuary, keep praying man to God, keep playing right there where you at.

<v Speaker 1>Still works, because somebody today needs Don't stop.

<v Speaker 1>Still works.

01:19:48.728 --> 01:19:54.083
<v Speaker 1>Come on, minister Brandy, come on up here.

<v Speaker 1>Still works.

<v Speaker 1>The blood still works.

01:20:03.687 --> 01:20:06.944
<v Speaker 1>I want you to get your joy back.

01:20:06.944 --> 01:20:16.309
<v Speaker 1>You've got to confess, you've got to express, you've got to lean, but it's the blood that still works.

01:20:16.309 --> 01:20:22.267
<v Speaker 1>That's going to move in your situation where medicine has no power.

01:20:22.267 --> 01:20:30.963
<v Speaker 1>Hallelujah, she's about to minister in song, in a second, and she's preparing to minister in song.

<v Speaker 1>I need some of the clergy, as y'all minister and walk through.

01:20:34.028 --> 01:20:38.248
<v Speaker 1>I want to connect with some people today that need to get their joy back.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I need some people that's unashamed to say I need to get my joy back and I'm unashamed to tell it.

01:20:58.544 --> 01:20:59.749
<v Speaker 1>I used to laugh a little bit more.

01:20:59.749 --> 01:21:00.804
<v Speaker 1>I used to tell more jokes.

01:21:00.804 --> 01:21:01.963
<v Speaker 1>I used to be more silly.

01:21:01.963 --> 01:21:02.487
<v Speaker 1>I used to be more fun.

01:21:02.487 --> 01:21:03.253
<v Speaker 1>I used to be more silly.

01:21:03.253 --> 01:21:03.696
<v Speaker 1>I used to be more fun.

01:21:03.696 --> 01:21:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I used to be more happy.

01:21:04.240 --> 01:21:05.822
<v Speaker 1>I had a peace beyond understanding.

01:21:05.822 --> 01:21:07.164
<v Speaker 1>Come to the altar, don't be ashamed.

01:21:07.164 --> 01:21:10.311

<v Speaker 1>It still works.

01:21:17.881 --> 01:21:21.905
<v Speaker 3>Faithful, faithful, faithful is our God.

01:21:21.905 --> 01:21:30.716
