Dr. Jamal H. Bryant, I Want More Presence - December 22th, 2019

sometimes you ought to be shouting to yourself while you are in the middle of something that you gotta tell the enemy you think this hurt was this your best shot wait and see what God does in my life when I come out of this y'all ain't saying nothin to me no pain no gain I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free yes is on the sparrow I gotta give a memo to these church people when you see me shout me it don't mean I give in with nothing cuz I know that's a that I can't be destroyed what I'm dealing with [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Psalm 16 I'm reading this morning from the New King James Version just one verse verse 11 Psalm 16 verse 11 once you found a one to say I have it if you can't find it say lord help me Psalm 16 verse 11 let's read it together with uplifted voices you will show me the path of life in your presence is the fullness of joy come on let's read it again with a little bit more enthusiasm and zeal you will show me the path of life you may be seated david wrote in Psalm 16 verse 11 you will show me the path of life in your presence is fullness of joy at your right hand are pleasures forevermore I want to preach for a little while this morning using as a subject I want more presence one more presence the story is told of a rambunctious young man sauntered into the living room one night his father was engrossed in television and he raised up the nerve to ask his father daddy how much do you make in an hour the father feeling offended replied in righteous indignation there's none of your business as a child why would you be asking me such a thing the son undeterred insisted daddy I'm just curious please would you tell me how much you make an hour the father / grudgingly responded I make $100 an hour feeling defeated the son meekly asked can I borrow $50 the father feeling furious bellowed if the only reason you asked was so you could borrow money go buy some games get some food in the food court get some tennis shoes you got another thing coming your attitude is inexcusable after the way that I make sure that you have everything you need you're gonna ask me that son sheepishly returned to his room shut the door and retired for the evening after some time he lapsed the father calm down he began to ruminate as to what was really going on with his son and he thought maybe he had been too harsh with him he crept into his son's room and tapped him on the shoulder and says son I repent I shouldn't have been so harsh with you here's the $50.00 you asked me for the boy jumped up reached under his pillow found some crumpled dollar bills father got more irate more upset saying you already had money now you got the nerve to ask me for money and the son retorted I asked you because I didn't have enough I didn't have enough then but now I do proudly the son announced daddy I now have $100 can I buy an hour of your time after you come home from work can you at least play basketball with me can you sit with me play a video game can we go on a ride can you just give me an hour I got $100 now the father uncontrollably sobbed he repented realizing new birth he had brought a lot of gifts but hadn't given any presents in the blog the melanin goddess calm there's a piece entitled the presence / presence it outlines for us three reasons why presence is important number one presence is important I want you to write this now presence is important number one for memories presence is important for memories children can forget expensive gifts but they'll always remember rich experiences at five they won't remember Jordans but they'll finally remember joy rides and conversations over ice cream your spouse will relish having your ear more than any pair of expensive earrings the aging parent would rather a visit over you buying a new TV set I want to ask you how can you forget what the Lord has done for you you need presents number one for memories number two you need presence over materialism the American Psychological Association after an exhaustive poll discovered that 51 percent of women and 42 percent of men said purchasing and giving gifts add to their distress social media has curated a culture of capitalistic competition that has reduced passion to what can be posted we're demanding labels from somebody who won't give you a title you demand a bag from somebody who won't invest in your business and here you are with your crazy self redecorating an apartment when you could have used it for a down payment for a house don't be a well dressed beggar or be so flat that you never get off the ground this is the season where you've got a transition from style to substance you need presents over presents number one you need it for what come on talk back to me class you need it for what number two you needed to beat what number three you need it for mindset you need it for mindset John Lennon deceased a frontman of the Beatles once told a reporter that when he was five his mother told him that happiness was the key to life and then he went to kindergarten and when he went to kindergarten the teacher asked him what did he want to be when he grew up John Lennon told his kindergarten teacher I want to be happy the kindergarten teacher scolded him and said you don't understand the assignment to which at five years old John Lennon said you don't understand life something is to be said when there's so many of you who don't understand that your happiness is not contingent on what somebody buys you but you've got to find the happiness on the inside of you this joy that I have the world didn't give it and the world can't take it away I'm telling you as much as you are complaining there are 50 people who were rather be in your shoes I know summer you all don't feel that way but in spite of what is or is not under the tree if you are happy with how God has blessed you this year a day to just give God glory right there come on if you had to buy your own stuff if you hit the treat yourself had to celebrate yourself would you just give God jewelry that what you need you can't get from Macy's Nordstrom Saks Target Walmart but something within me that huh if the ring when we think about joy we picture laughter smiles good vibrations but Hebrews 12 and 2 sheds different light fixing our eyes on Jesus the Pioneer and the perfecter of faith for the joy set before he endured the cross scorning its shame to sit on the right hand of the Father the jollywood Hebrews chapter 12 verse to say it is that Jesus had joy here this thinking about the cross his joy was not when he got off the cross sometimes you ought to be shouting to yourself while you are in the middle of something that you got to tell the enemy you think this hurt it was this your best shot wait and see what God see in my life when I come out of this y'all ain't saying nothing to me no pain no gain I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free yes I is on the sparrow I gotta give a memo to these church people when you see me shelter you don't mean I dealing with nothing cuz I know there's a call on my life that I can't be destroyed in what I'm dealing with David extends in Psalm 16:11 a revelation about joy that is predicated on location David helps us understand joy that is based off of where you are sister Williams already told you I've been here a year for a year I've been looking for somewhere to live in Atlanta my realtor wants to break up with me and I want to break up with her it's for a whole year we were looking for somewhere to live I'll go online scouring the internet looking for a domicile that fits my lifestyle I send it to him by the time she gets back to me somebody else already got to be it on it the ones I like end up being too far or being too high the perfect combination becomes daunting trying to find where I can live that'll make me happy finally I thought I found the perfect place had the right price so I thought and then I kept looking on the internet and couldn't find anything because the last one fell apart and one before that fell apart and one before that fell apart finally I thought I'd found the perfect home but it was no price listed say contact the owner [Applause] send it over to my realtor said it's not too big I won't be able to hear my own echo ain't too small I won't become close to phobic and in 24 hours she called back and gave me the price and I almost blacked out I asked why was it so high she said it's not the size it's the location it's six blocks from the governor's mansion because you so close to that place of power the cost is higher some of y'all miss what I'm trying to tell you when you live in the presence of God if the enemy even thinks about attacking you he understands because of where I am in relationship with God you better be careful when you mess with me there's a high price associated with my name I am NOT up for sale why I've been bought with a price is there anybody who knows in his presence is the fullness of joy happiness is the product of a condition while joy is the product of location so some people are only happy based off of what's going on in their life so they're happy when they get a raise happy when they get proposed to happy when they graduate happy when the bills are paid but when you've got joy it don't have nothing to do with the condition I got joy because of my location and so I get joy when I think about what she's done for me look at the person beside you tell them if I didn't have God come on look at him tell him if I didn't have God I'd beat the press I'd be stressed up I'd be losing my mind but because God's heya is even when I don't have all the money can smile ever - I can speak to the folk that don't like me I can break for those they wanted to see me so in order for me to have more joy I need more prisons I think I lost you I said in order for me to have more joy I need more presence I don't know how many of you need the presence of God but the presence of God don't always show what why you're in the sanctuary you will find the presence of God in the most unlikely places can I find a witness right through here come here Shadrach Meshach and Abednego said pass the rod let me tell Newberg where I found his presence there was no quiet there was no praise team there was no liturgical dancers but I was in a fiery furnace but when I begin to bless God in the fire yes Bassets begin to show up there's somebody in this room that's going to something right now which you worship God hey be seated all I want is this presence we didn't look at your neighbors and don't you let me shop by myself if I just shed lack in the furnace but sadly I had two other people miss Shack and a bender God God said is so much glory on you that when you begin the fast in my presence not only am I don't deliver you but a dilemma who stuck with you wow you are in there's some a little worship God let your two best friends are getting ready to get delivered the people closest to you open dog all I need is this presence I need to feel God before I do something crazy I gotta feel God before I say something crazy I just need this presence and God told me to take the same glory that you feel in this church right now is don't be a your living room this week can you know about it he said this is for my worship us if you do a summation to our sanctuary that you can feel the presence in your house if you need his presence that's what I want all I want for Christmas is this presence and then here watches out in
