150:1-6 (KJV) Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
[2] Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
[3] Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
[4] Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
[5] Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
[6] Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
TOPIC- DON`T LET NOTHING OR NOBODY KEEP YOU FROM GETTING YOUR PRAISE ON
MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS
WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY AND TIME WHERE SOME
FOLKS WILL TRY TO HINDER YOU FROM GETTING YOUR PRAISE ON
AS WELL THERE ARE TIMES IN LIVES WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES IN CERTAIN SITUATION
AND WE TEND TO ALLOW OUR SITUATIONS TO KEEP US FROM GETTING OUR PRAISE ON
BUT IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND AND REALIZE THAT OUR BREAK THROUGH IS IN OUR PRAISE
BECAUSE IF PAUL AND SILAS WAS HERE I`M QUITE SURE THEY WOULD TELL YOU
THAT THEY WAS DOWN THERE IN THAT PHILLIPPIAN JAIL CELL
AND WHEN PAUL STARTED PRAYING AND SILAS STARTED SINGING -- GOD STARTED MOVING
NOW I NEED TO TELL YOU I GOT A PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO COMES TO GOD`S HOUSE WITH ROCKS IN THERE JAWS
YOU KNOW THE ONE`S THAT
WALK IN MAD
SIT DOWN MAD
WHEN THE DEACONS IS PRAYING THERE MAD
WHEN THE CHOIR IS SINGING THERE MAD
WHEN THE PRAISE DANCERS DANCING THERE MAD
AND SOME OF THEM WILL HAVE THE NERVES TO TRY TO TELL YOU
THAT IT DON`T TAKE ALL THAT
BUT I DISCOVERED THAT THESE SAME ONE`S THAT WON`T GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE IN THE WORSHIP EXPERIENCE
THAT IF YOU CATCH THEM OUT AT ANNIE MAE`S OR THE LANZYS
YOU CAN`T KEEP THEM OFF THE DANCE FLOOR
AND THE FRIST THING THEY TRY TO BLAME IT ON IS THAT THEY HAD TO MUCH GIN AND JUICE
BUT PREACH BROTHER PAUL TOLD THE CHURCH AT
EPHEPHSUS. 5:18 (KJV) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
AND WHEN YOU GET FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
YOU DON`T MIND GETTING YOUR PRAISE ON
BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW GOOD GOD HAS BEEN TO YOU
HOW HE`S BEEN YOUR BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW HE TURNED YOUR BURNING FURNACE INTO A FELLOWSHIP HALL
HOW HE DELIVERED YOU IN THE LIONS DEN
AND MADE A FREEWAY DOWN THROUGH YOUR RED SEA
YOU OUGHT TO GET SOME CLAPPING IN YOUR HANDS
SOME RUNNING IN YOUR FEET AND
SOME SHOUTING IN YOUR SPRIT
AND LET NOTHING OR NOBODY KEEP YOU FROM GETTING YOUR PRAISE ON
*****************************************
BUT AS WE EXAMINE 150TH NUMBERS OF PSALMS
THE PSALMIST MENTIONS TWO SPHERES WHERE GOD IS TO BE PRAISE
ONE BELOW, THE OTHER ABOVE
ONE ON EARTH AND ONE IN HEAVEN
AND YOU DO KNOW THAT PRAISE IS GIVING THANKS TO GOD
FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE --DOING AND WILL DO
PRAISE IS GIVING THANKS TO GOD FOR EACH ASPECT OF HIS DIVINE NATURE
BECAUSE OUR INWARD ATTIDUDE BECOMES OUR OUTWARD EXPRESSION
THEREFORE THROUGH OUR PRAISE WE EXPAND OUR AWARENESS OF WHO GOD REALLY IS
AND THE 150TH NUMBERS OF PSALMS REVEALS TO US
WHAT ----WHERE---WHY----HOW AND WHO SHOULD PRAISE GOD
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT PRAISES DO
PRAISE TAKES OUR MIND OFF OF OUR PROBLEMS AND SHORTCOMINGS AND FOCUSES THEM ON GOD
PRAISE ALSO LEADS US FROM INDIVIDUAL MEDITATION TO CORPORATE WORSHIP
PRAISE----PRAISE CAUSES US TO CONDIDER AND APPRECIATE GOD`S CHARACTER
AND LIFTS OUR PERSPECTIVE FROM THE EARTHLY TO THE HEAVENLY
AND IF I COULD BE HONEST WITH YOU RIGHT NOW
IT`S SOMEONE HERE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE
THAT’S IN THE MIDIST OF A STORM RIGHT NOW
AND YOU`RE WAITING FOR YOUR BREAKTHROUGH
BUT YOU HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE THAT YOUR BREAKTHROUGH IS IN YOUR PRAISE
******************************************
WELL NOT ONLY DOES THE PSALMIST TELLS US WHAT PRAISES DO
BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS WHERE WE SHOULD PRAISE GOD
FOR THE PSALMIST CALLS FOR PRAISE TO BE GIVEN IN THE SANCTUARY
THE EARTHLY AND THE HEAVENLY FIRMAMENT OF HIS POWER
IN OTHER WORDS
EVERYWHERE YOU GO YOU OUGHT TO GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
*******************************************
WELL NOT ONLY DOES THE PSALMIST REVEALS TO US WHAT PRAISE IS AND WHERE WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM
BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS WHY WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM
FOR THE WORKS OF HIS POWER AND ALL THE INSTANCE OF HIS MIGHT
WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM FOR THE POWER OF HIS PROVIDENCE,
THE POWER OF HIS GRACE---FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE IN CREATION AND FOR THE GLORY AND MAJESTY OF HIS BEING
IN OTHER WORDS IF THE LORD HAS EVER
DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE
IF YOU KNOW HIM AS A DOCTOR IN THE SICK ROOM
A LAWYER IN THE COURT ROOM
A COUNSELOR IN THE BREAVEMENT ROOM
IF HE`S BEEN A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATER
A LEANING POST YOU CAN LEAN ON
A PILLOW YOU CAN CRY ON
YOU OUGHT PUT YOUR HOLY HANDS TOGETHER AND GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
******************************************
WELL WE HAVE LEARNED WHAT PRAISES IS AND WHERE AND WHY WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM
BUT THE TEXT ALSO TEACHES US HOW WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM
WITH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET AND PSALTERY---HARP
WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM WITH THE TIMBRELS ---DRUMS AND TAMBARRINES AND DANCE
WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM WITH THE ORGAN AND LOUD CYMBALS
*********************************************
WELL NOT ONLY DOES THE PSALMIST TELLS US WHAT --WHERE -WHY AND HOW WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM
BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS WHO SHOULD PRAISE HIM
I HEAR THE PSALMIST SAY -
LET EVERY THING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD
IN OTHER WORDS
IF THE LORD WOKE YOU UP THIS MORNING
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE
IF THE LORD CLOTHED IN YOUR RIGHT
MIND YOU OUGHT TO GIVE HIM SOME
PRAISE
IF THE LORD PUT FOOD ON YOUR TABLE
CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK
A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE
IF THE LORD HAS BEEN YOUR BURDEN BARRIER
YOUR HEAVY LOAD CARRIER
A HEART FIXER AND A MIND REGULATORY
YOU OUGTH TO STAND UP ON YOUR SANTIFIED FEET AND PUT YOUR HOLY HANDS TOGETHER AND GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
HAVE A BLESS DAY YOU`LL BUT I GOT TO GO TO MY SEAT -- BUT I NEED TO TELL YOU
___________________
PSALMS 1 STARTS OUT WITH BLESS
PSALMS 150 - ENDS WITH PRAISE
AND IF YOU KEEP ON PRAISING THE LORD
HE`LL KEEP ON BLESSING YOU
BECAUSE WHEN PRAISES GOES UP
BLESSINGS COMES DOWN
THAT’S WHY EVERYTME I TURN AROUND
HE KEEP MAKING AWAY SOMEHOW OVER
AND OVER AGAIN HE`S BLESSING ME
BUT CAN I REALLY TELL YOU WHY YOU OUGHT TO REALLY PRAISE THE LORD
AND REAL REASON IS
THEY MARCH HIM UP A MOUNTIAN NAME CALVARY
NAILED HIM THE AN OLD RUGGED CROSS
AND HE WAS`NT THERE BECAUSE HE DONE SOMETHING WRONG
BUT HE WAS THERE BECAUSE OF OUR WRONG
AND YOU DO KNOW THAT HE DIED ON THAT OLD RUGGED CROSS
HE DIED ----BECAUSE THE SON BLEW A FUSE AND REFUSE TO SHINE
HE DIED --- BECAUSE THE MOON BLOOD PRESSURE GOT HIGH AND DRIPPING IN BLOOD
THE STARS GOT SO EXCITED THAT THEY JUMP OUT OF THERE SILVER SOCKETTS
THE EARTH STARTED REELING AND ROCKING LIKE A DRUNK MAN
A ROMAN SOLDIER PREACH HIS HOME GOING CELEBRATION
AND HE USED FOR A TOPIC
SURELY THIS MAN IS THE SON OF GOD
BUT I`M GLAD THATS NOT HOW THE STORY ENDS
BECAUSE HE WAS PLACE IN A BORROWED TOMB
BUT EARLY ----- I SAY E-A-R-L-Y SUNDAY MORMING HE GOT UP
ANYBODY KNOW HE GOT UP
YOU SEE MATTHEW SAYS HE GOT UP
MARK SAYS HE GOT UP
LUKE SAYS HE GOT UP
JOHN SAYS HE GOT UP
MY GRANDMA TOLD ME HE GOT UP
EVEN THOUGH I WAS`NT THERE I BELIEVE HE GOT UP WITH ALL POWER IN HIS HANDS
AIN`T GOD ALRIGHT
I SAY AIN`T GOD ALRIGHT
AND THE REASON I KNOW HE`S ALRIGHT
BECAUSE I TRIED HIM FOR MYSELF
AND SINCE I TRIED HIM FOR MYSELF
YOU CAN`T MAKE ME DOUBT HIM I KNOW TO MUCH ABOUT HIM
BECAUSE HE `S MY SUNSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY
WHEN IT`S COLD OUTSIDE IN THE MONTH OF MAY
I KNOW YOU SAY WHAT CAN MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY
JESUS --MARY`S LITTLE BABY
JESUS --JOSEPH STEPSON
JESUS --JAMES --JUDE --JOSE AND SIMON BIG BROTHER
JOHN THE BAPTIST SAVIOR
MATTHEWS KING
MARK`S SUFFERING SAVIOR
LUKE`S GREAT PHYSICIAN
JOHN`S WORD MADE FLESH
ACT`S COMING OF THE HOLY GHOST
A LIGHT IN A DARK SITUATION
A WAY OUT OF NO WAY
AIN`T HE ALRIGHT
I SAY AIN`T HE ALRIGHT
AND IF YOU KNOW HE`S ALRIGHT LET ME HERE YOU SAY
YEAH
OH Y-E-A-H
