the following program is sponsored by friends and partners of Kingdom connection God sees you as blessed and highly favored and he's got to get that picture in you and you got to get the right information in you that's why it's so important that you're listening to me right now because while I preach God will show you flashes of your future [Music] I'm gonna teach you today a message on keys to living the right life because you can live your life and live it wrong or you can live it right and one of the keys is found in Psalms 34 to a happy life one of the keys to a happy life is found right here I will bless the Lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth my soul shall make its boast in the Lord the humble will hear of it and be glad ole magnify the Lord with me let us exalt his name together listen to this it's a powerful verse for I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fear and you began to magnify God when you begin to praise God he said that was the key to my deliverance he delivered me I love what he said he delivered me from from all my fear and so many people are bound by fear and everybody just looking at me just a moment I'm preaching today to you just somebody out here I'm preaching to you how to live the right life it starts with number one if you take your notes just take some notes you got to have the right atmosphere what do you mean the right atmosphere in your life you create the atmosphere in the right atmosphere in a word is praised have you ever noticed that emotions create atmospheres if somebody's sad you walk into the room and you feel that sadness if somebody is fearful if somebody for example is angry if they're upset about something without a word being said they pretty from their spirit into the atmosphere of a room a negative feeling just from the anger that they possess if somebody is is is afraid that creates an atmosphere and the way that you get God's favor on your life and you draw God's blessings into your life is God as a God who responds to atmosphere and what atmosphere is it that he responds to one of Thanksgiving one of gratitude one a praise the right atmosphere is praise there's an amazing story in the Old Testament King Saul would be diagnosed as a manic-depressive he had fits in times when darkness and depression would come on him and he would go out of his mind and the Bible said when the evil spirits of depression troubled him and he went into the dark place of his life that he did something strange he called for David and he said tell that boy to bring his harp and begin to play and fill this palace with praise and as David would play his music while that King was sitting on his throne in depression in darkness in in in in the in the sorrow of life and hopelessness as David would play your Bible said the evil spirits departed from Saul and he would come back to a place of a peace again in his life and all David did was fill the room with praise and it changed the atmosphere of the palace that story is in your Bible it says that we can change the atmosphere even when things aren't changing yet that you're praying about in hoping for and believing for but you can control the atmosphere of your life through praise when you understand that you have to ask the question what is the atmosphere of your life what kind of people do you have around you that's what creates the atmosphere of your life are they negative or are they positive are they faith-filled or are they fear filled because the people around you create the atmosphere of your life not only that what kind of music do you listen to what kind of things do you feel your mind with it creates the atmosphere and God is either drawn to the atmosphere or he withdrawals from certain atmospheres and he's looking for an atmosphere of gratitude a praise of thankfulness then I want you to see something else you've got to have the right energy source if you're fighting the flesh issues that you're dealing with with the flesh you just find it against yourself when you've got problems and you've got challenges and you've got addictions and you're trying to fight the flesh with the flesh you're gonna lose because the flesh is the flesh we don't we don't fight in the flesh we have to have a supernatural energy source and the supernatural energy source of the believer is the power of the Holy Spirit that's why the Bible talks about praying in an unknown tongue when you pray in the spirit when you pray in the language that God gives and before you get dismiss me and before you say I don't believe in that stuff that you don't believe in part of the Bible because the Bible said when we speak in first Corinthians 14 when we speak in an unknown tongue we speak not unto men but unto God we bypass the natural mind we bypass your opinion anybody else's opinion and when you pray in the spirit you go to God the Apostle Paul said I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all yet when I do it I don't get up in an audience and I don't confuse people but in my prayer life the Apostle Paul said I pray in the spirit I pray in an unknown tongue he said don't forbid speaking in tongues he said that in first Corinthians 14 but religion will say you can't have that oh it was in the upper room it happened in Acts chapter 2 it happened in Acts chapter 19 it happened in Acts chapter 10 it's talked about in 1st Corinthians 14 but you can't have that now but that's religion I'd rather believe what God says and when you pray in the Holy Spirit when you pray in that unknown tongue listen to me it's the believers energy source suddenly the Bible put it like this in Isaiah with stammering lips and an unknown tongue will I speak to my people listen to this and he said it'll be a refreshing it'll be a refreshing it's an energy source it's where you get your strength from I want you to understand that the Holy Spirit not only is a person but he has a mind to think and he has a mouth to speak and Romans 8 said when you don't know how to pray the Spirit Himself wants to pray through you and he wants to pray the perfect will of God if you pray in the perfect will of God we know he hears us how do you do that you get baptized in the Holy Spirit you get filled with the Holy Spirit America needs to be filled with the Holy Spirit it makes you love everybody it wouldn't be any race issues if we'll get full of the Holy Spirit we'll love one another we'll be for one another we'll encourage one another there's too much hate there's too much flesh we need the power of the Holy Spirit back in our lives again he's our energy source do you know how we defeated the Japanese after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the sin during World War two you know what we did they were intercepting they had Japanese interpreters who could intercept the messages that were being sent from from from two soldiers from platoon to platoon they could they could hear that our plans and they kept defeating us on the battlefield until we went to the Navajo Nation and we got some Navajo Indians who had a language that had only been spoken and taught handed down from generations on the reservations and we gave them a walkie-talkie they were called code talkers or some called them wind talkers and and they would talk in Navajo and though and those those spies would be listening in and they could understand English but they start giving the orders in the language that was only unique to those few they only had I think it was 17 of them in the whole nation in the whole army but they had all the orders going in that language that the Japanese could not understand what I'm trying to say to you is we don't have to play fair with the devil we can go straight to the throne room don't some of you are new to this church and I'm blowing your mind but we are not ashamed of the power of the Holy Spirit it'll change your life it'll make a weak man strong it'll make a person who's bound and addicted free it'll cause you to love God with passion and with fire and you don't have to just grow cold after you get saved be filled with the spirit pray in the spirit and you'll have your energy source turn to somebody and say the Holy Ghost is my right source of energy I'm trying to stay calm this morning but I'm preaching the truth you growing colder and colder and sitting there looking at me I don't believe it that's why you're growing colder and colder and some of you who claim to have it how long has it been since you prayed I'm telling you today that as a pastor and as a preacher I pray in the spirit every day of my life it's my secret source it's the source of energy and power for the believer the right atmosphere is praise the right energy force for the believer is praying in the spirit going back and reconnecting to the power of the Holy Spirit then you got to have the right information the right information you can't listen to garbage and see a Rose Garden what you take in determines what you see if you get bad information frightening information you'll see a world of fear and hopelessness and it's all connected to what you're taking in constantly even while I'm preaching what are you taking in are you taking in the distractions are you taking in the truth of God's Word Jeremiah 15 and verse 16 said your words were found and I did eat them I took them in it's not enough to hear it some of you hear it out here but it never gets in you but when you hear it and you take it in you start getting the right information what does the Lord say about your situation is what matters what does the Lord say about your family what does the Lord say about your future what does the Lord say about your freedom it doesn't matter what your circumstances are people's opinion has to say it's a remarkable story in the Old Testament the book of Joshua the sixth chapter and seventh chapter about a man by the name of Gideon the Midianites took over the Israel the nation of Israel and Gideon was hiding in a cave and God sent an angel and the angel told him and said you are a mighty man of Valor he didn't feel like a mighty man of Valor he felt like a wimp but God said you're not a wimp you're a winner God said you're not a weakling you're my you're my man you're the man of Valor what was God doing God was putting the right information in him God wanted him to be aware of more than his fear and his overwhelming circumstances and he wanted him to get a new picture of seeing himself in victory God doesn't call you like you are he calls you like you're going to be that's why when you start taking this in it many times will speak the opposite of what you're experiencing but God is beginning to get you to understand that that it's not about what you are it's what you shall be he doesn't announce just where you are today but he simply declares where you're going to be tomorrow through his strength instantly Gideon began to manifest his inferiority when God said you're my called man you're the one I'm going to use he began to talk about you pick the wrong person I came from the smallest tribe I'm poor I don't have this I don't he raised all these issues to God and God said my way of giving you victory is to get a new picture in your mind go down to the nice camp and listen to how the enemy sees you and get a picture in your mind of how your enemy sees you and how I see you and let it change how you see you the spirits way to victories is to give you a picture of yourself not as you see yourself but as God sees you God does not see you defeated God does not see you bound God does not see you poor and broke and walked on and kicked by life God sees you as an overcomer God sees you as the head and not the tail God sees you as blessed and highly favored and he's got to get that picture in you and you got to get the right information in you that's why it's so important that you're listening to me right now because while I preach God will show you flashes of your future get the right information change the information that you're taking in fourthly you've got to get in the right location you got to have the right atmosphere the right energy source the right information and you got to get the right location first Kings 17 they were in a famine in Israel they didn't know what they were going to do and God told the Prophet to go to the little river and he said I'll cause the birds to feed you but then the brook dried up and God said go to the widow woman go there I've commanded her there to feed you the blessing was connected to a location when God tells you to go there and you stay here the blessing moves on and you're on your own God will dry up the brook to bring you back to your source and many times we trust in systems instead of trusting in God but God is our source and you got to keep moving when God says move when he says change locations and and I'm not just talking about geographically I'm talking about spiritually God is saying to many people under the sound of my voice at all of our campuses it's time for you to move to a new place that's why he's put you in Archer is because he's saying you know there's an interesting story when he lied she wanted a double portion how many of you'd like to have a double portion of God's blessing on your life you know what the Prophet told him he said if you're with me in the right place when I'm taken up it'll come on you and then he'll I should did something interesting he broke the plow the plow represented his security the plow represented the system that it fed his family the plow represented every success he was a farmer in a farming agricultural society and the plow was everything to him but he broke the plow and God said if you want a double portion it begins with breaking the old pile I don't want you leaning on what I used to do and what I used to use and how I've always done it in your life I need you to break the plow sometimes denominations and the way that we were raised can be the old plow that we need to break that we say that was good for then I honor what that did in my life but I'm not stopping here and living at the old plow the rest of my life maybe God has you at a church like this to take you where you've never been before in the Holy Spirit why don't you make up your mind to break the old plow somebody praise God if you're tired of living in yesterday's blessings and yesterday's experience and way back then when God really touched you break the pile and say I'm ready for a new location can I give you two more you got to have the right people you gotta have the right people people who are right in your life or people who'll be honest with you they don't just tell you what you want to hear they tell you once you're supposed to hear what you need to hear faithful are the wounds of a friend how many of you got a good friend faithful are the wounds of a friend that means they they confront you get the right people in your life everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit and sometimes we we want people that we really can relate to but the problem with that is if you've got certain spirits or weaknesses that that that you're prone to you're those those people are drawn to you because birds of a feather flock together and once and it may feel good at first but what you realize is eventually you just multiplied your problems by two but when you really want God's blessing if you're struggling in an area you don't need to be around somebody who's struggling with the same thing you need to get around somebody who's strong in that area that you're weakened you need to get around somebody who knows how to go where you are trying to get and some of you don't have God's favor and don't have God's blessing because you're around the wrong people you don't want to get around the right people but if you'll get around the right people God's presence will be drawn into your life you got to have the right people you got to have the right focus the Bible said that when job was going through his trial the battle turned in joke 42 and 10 listen to what happened when he prayed for his friends the focus came off of his needs and his sorrow and his bad days and his pain and his hurt and he focused on others and the moment he focused on others God turned his battle and blessed him in the trial in because you got to have the right focus the widow woman when she was gathering her last bit of bills to cook for her and her son and they were gonna eat it in down and he alone comes a man of God and and so you got a woman with a seed and a man of God with a need and she has to make a decision do we eat it and die or do we look at others and take care of others even though we have needs in our own life and the moment she got the right focus and she put it in the hands of the Prophet always remember this what you keep in your hand strings what you put in God's hand multiplies and the moment that she made a decision that I am NOT going to just as as precious as her child was she's decided we are not going to be self focused people and that just care about us but we're going to care about others the moment she got the right focus the Bible said that the meal didn't run out for three and a half years God multiplied it and multiplied it and multiplied it because she got the right focus lastly last point you got to have the right timing the right timing scripture declared in Proverbs that for every purpose there is a season it's an amazing verse that says for every purpose in life there is a season for every purpose it means you can't just have purpose purpose is connected to timing and we quit I told you last Sunday everything you are believing for is on the other side of not giving up most of the time because purpose is established but the timing we give up on but the timing of the purpose are they have to be connected right time is important God's promises always have a time frame on them we need to know what time it is on God's clock we need to get our clock in sync with God's clock and some of your saying it's time Lord it's time Lord why hasn't it happened yet and God says get in sync with my clock we have to get a fresh revelation of what David said my times are in your hands the right timing is now the right timing to serve the Lord is now the right timing to give your heart to the Lord is now there are so many things that God wants to do in your life right now and I tell you what I feel in my heart this morning that our praise can change the atmosphere of this room that the favor of God can so come upon our lives that it will astound us that the blessing of the Lord will begin to overtake us and God would use us in ways that we can't even imagine when we get all of these areas right in our life then suddenly when they come in a line that the favor and the blessings of God begin to overtake us like a wave hitting you in the ocean from the back and you didn't see it coming and it just overtakes you and some of you have in your time caught when you're gonna get right with God when you're gonna surrender to God when you're gonna be filled with the spirit when you're gonna go after God with all of your heart but the Lord says I want you to synchronize your clock with my time and my time is this morning my time is today my time is to say to somebody you don't have as much time as you think you have you need to get in sync with God's caught for your life the clock is ticking on your destiny running around wrong people wrong location wrong energy source wrong atmospheres attracting wrong people attracting wrong steps in your life making wrong decisions I've given you the floorplan of how to get your life right this morning you don't have time to play games anymore you don't have time it's more than you this is state but there's people that only you can
