god because this day was not a promise to anyone of us but we are grateful that god allowed us to be able to see another day not only did he allow us to see another day but he gave us the strength to be able to and invite your intellect this morning to second chronicles chapter five second chronicles chapter five the old testament uh passage of scripture second protocols chapter five and verses 13 and 14 amen second chronicles chapter five beginning at verse number 13 is here that you find these words the truth betters and musicians joined in years to give praise and thanks to the lord accompanied by trumpets symbols and other instruments the singers raised their voices in praise to the lord and son he is good his love endures forever then the temple of the lord was stealing with the clown and the priests could not perform their service because of that for the glory of the lord field the temple of god amen thus but consequently not to that service lord by the power of grace divine let my soul look up with the steadfast hope and that my will be lost in for the pure delight of the single hour that before that throne i start with thee by god i commune as friend to friend that draws near near to your cross near to your word god we need a word today we need a word in our season god let the words of my mother the meditation of my heart be accepted when i say oh lord you are my strength and you are my redeemer in christ jesus name we pray amen i shall say babysitter in the very presence of that i'm gonna talk today as a spiritual guy terry from this thought when god shows up when god shows up brother remember the context of this passage will reveal that it is on the occasion of the dedication of the house of god that the people of god had been led by king solomon to build a house of worship for the lord the construction has been completed and they are now in the midst of a time of celebration and thanksgiving and praise and the bible says in the midst of their gathering god showed up and it shows up in a rather unique and mystical marvelous and miraculous way that the bible paints a picture of a celebration of god's people a celebration of thanksgiving and praise and in the midst of that celebration the bible says that the place the house was with a cloud if you might imagine if you said defined imagination will allow you that as we are gathered in this place today and seemingly all of a sudden without warning that the place the bible says was filled with a cloud you could imagine that this blood is both thick and heavy and the heaviness of the of the thickness of this cloud aim or hovered over the hairs of the people it gives us the image of the people who are gathered in the presence of god and god manifesting itself in such an unusual way that a place is filled with a cloud a cloud so dense a cloud so heavy that the bible says that the priests could not stand to minister that they could not stand that because ministry was done standing up that the bible says they could not continue their duties for serving in the temple and the bible tells us the reason being because the glory of the lord filled the house and god showed up is this amazing some reasons that people come to church but some can't be entertained some come make a network connection some kind of to make a social connection sometime to see who else showed up and someone come to show off their new outfit but the text gives us insight as to what happens when god shows up well the bible says that whenever the clown showed up when the glory of god shows up number one he will anoint your place with his presence uh the text says the glory of god feared at the place it feel the house it was a tangible observable physical manifestation of the presence of god he was there and they knew it not only was he there but they knew he was there and he speaks of the presence of god in the third person of the godhead i talking to somebody today now when you talk about this glory cloud and the spirit presence of god you must understand that child of god that there was a multi-dimensional concept in the minds of the people of god back then first of all it was the palestinian concept of the glory cloud of the spirit presence of god and they called it the rule it was the breath of god the wind of god but what happens when god shows up in there's the wind that shows up when wind blows you can't quite see the wind blowing but you are in the way of the wind blowing you can feel the wind it is the rule it is when god breathes on the place is when god breathes on your house is when god breathes for your situation it's when god breathes on your children is when god breathes on your problem is when god reads on your finances when god shows up and you can't see him you just know that he is there because you can feel him moving deep down on the top of your heart it's the rule the wind of god and the other brothers and sisters as we got ourselves together in this place we may not be able to seek government look at what you [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Music] and then for the present to the great mind the hellenistic mind that spirit presence of god is the pneuma the normal yes this is the pneuma of god from which we get the word pneumatology and the number of god speaks of the dynamic presence of god that directs the affairs of god's people it is when you can't seek god but but you can sense him leading and guiding and directing your steps when that number of god is working in your life or you might be driving your hollywood bill trying to get to war you are unreachable and somehow the number of god tells you to turn right [Music] when you are connected to god you can hear god directing you you can hear god show you some things uh as about some things that you never thought about god will begin to reveal that self to you that's the name of god [Music] when that spirit presence of god shows up it shows up as the shakkiner it is that radiating presence of god it is that presence of god that seeks to dwell when god shows up he anoints the or any church where the presence of god is not there and that's the reason why children of god i come by to let you know here that every chance you get whenever you walk in the house of god you ought to be able to expect god to move on your behalf you want to be able to expect to see the presence of god in your life it's not about looking at other people but you've got to be able to seek within yourself you've got to be able to experience it within for us to is [Music] [Applause] does he unlock the place with his presence secondly he answers the purpose of your praise when god shows up his appearance is an answer to the purpose of your praise listen to this the text says in verse number 13 the singers raise their voices this is right in the text that the singers raised their voices in praise to the lord and son and said he is good his love endures forever [Music] forever a children of god instead of you focusing on everything that is wrong in your life you're about to learn how to focus on the good stuff that god has done for you and do i have anybody here that can declare preacher god has done some great things in my life i know i may be going through a rough time right now and yet i may feel like using my mind right now but the lord has done some good things in my life can i tell you the lord has been good in the morning foreign [Music] [Applause] one of the tragedies of our time is that some of the times when we come to church we only expect that singers to see i would just sit there and enjoy i don't have that kind of a voice well if you don't have that kind of voice just raise your hand every now and then stack your feet get the lord has been put to you every now and then give [Applause] i god brother chris morrison i'm gonna discover this morning when it talked about god inhabits the praises of in other words when we begin to praise god that's the place that god wants to dwell that's a place where god wants to be in other words it's not our other formalities but we are doing it because we need in the presence of god and we need god to dwell among us with all the health that we are going to give our way to the leader the presence you need to carry the presence of god with your heart when you're deaf not only will he anoint your place with his presence not only does he answer the purpose of your praise but thirdly finally he alters your plans [Applause] [Applause] is [Music] but the bible says that they cannot do they could not it to serve because the glory of god was in that house and i'm looking forward to a place where alan chopra will become in the house of god that will just allow the lord to have his way when god shows up and when the glory is and we're expecting jesus to show up in our lives [Applause] the text says as the people praised god the house was still with the cloud they entered in with a spirit of worship and expected god to show up what do you expect when you come to church what do you expect in your personal life i'm not talking about your name i'm talking about you but what is it that you expect when you come to church do you expect god to do something miraculous something unique something mothers or you're expecting the same old same thing i believe that god is telling the church today that we need to get to a place where we do things that we are listening to the voice of god and allowing god to speak to us and allow god to have his will here because it's time for foolishness but we need to be serious about god we need to be serious about our relationship with god we need to be served because people are dying every day and we can play church all the time we need to be serious about what god is [Music] are you expecting the same thing that you experienced in 2020 are you expecting the same thing that you saw and experienced in others i believe that god is doing a new thing he's doing a new thing in the life of which is doing a good thing in our lives and it's up to us to express what god is trying to do you know this what you say to your people over this you're here today you join us in worship today i want you to know that you did not show up here by coincidence by chance but you're here because god destined for you to be here today and we don't want to take you for granted that you are in a good relationship with god we don't want to assume that you have given your life to the lord the bible says that today if you will hear his voice heartbrought your heart that you can come and surrender your life to heal because guess what we used to say that tomorrow is not promised to anyone else but now the next minute the next second is no promise to any one of us today while you still have breath in your body that you can walk out and walk down there and be able to declare all to jesus i surrender or to heal my friend today is your name that you can come and give your life to the lord secondly you may have been in a good relationship with the lord you used to hear god whisper to you you used to hear the presence of god in your life but because of everything that you go through it seems like it's a struggle you don't feel the presence of god you don't feel the power of god in your life can i tell you god can renew you right now god can renew you right i think it will show you right now today is your day that you can walk down the aisle right now and do the right thing what you can do finally you may be here today so remember when i hear the word i assigned that to the word [Music] today if only you would take a step of faith come on and give your life to the world [Music] please [Music] my [Music] please [Music] uh [Music] oh to me [Music]
