Remix--Don`t Let Nothing Or No One Keep You From Getting Your Praise On

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
