Living the Life of Thanksgiving and Praise | Kenneth Copeland | LWCC

tonight we're going to be talking about the life of Thanksgiving or developing a life of gratitude praise God and some of very amazing things have been developing in in my own life and I won't go into all of that tonight but I'll tell you there's there there are things around us things which put continual pressure all the time on people and I used to let that pressure get to me I just don't do that anymore hallelujah no I just he said with a devil putting pressure on it we'll put some pressure back I'm telling you you have a we have a source of pressure that he cannot stand Amen see we know James 4:7 oh yeah submit yourself to the Lord resist the devil and he will fake from youth ha ha ha come on give the Lord Freddy's hallelujah thank you Lord Jesus [Applause] second chronicles chapter 20 it came to pass after this also that the children of Moab the children of Amon and with the others besides the Emma riots against Jehoshaphat to battle then there came some that told Jehoshaphat saying they cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria and behold they being has a zone Tamar you get that which is which is in getting that's easier saying get it let's just stay within Getti okay yeah that's good and Jehoshaphat feared it frightened him and set himself to seek the Lord he set himself to seek the Lord now he is about to have pressure put on him here comes an expeditionary force that he doesn't have a chance against and he knows it but I want you to know even at a time of fear I want you to notice how Jehoshaphat reacted he didn't just start you know coming apart in every direction they're gonna kill us all were they to kill them all he wouldn't last it overnight but what's what he did the first thing he did was set himself to seek the Lord and proclaim the fast throughout all Judah Judah gathered themselves together to ask help of the Lord even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord and Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court and said now notice with you with it's very important how you prayed O Lord God our fathers are not thou God in heaven rulers not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen and in thine hand is there not power and might so that none is able to withstand thee he did not start with the problem he just started out praising God and if you take time to run your references and study you will find out that there he's quoting things from the word of that day amen of course we don't have time to get into that here but I want just well just what what what's what the man did art not thou our God who ditched drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel and gave it to the seed of Abraham thy friend forever boy he went right back to the roots of his covenant amen he's not he's not he's not giving ten seconds thought here to the problem can you see what he's doing he doesn't have his mind on the problem think about this you prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies oh yeah but brother Copeland the devil still there well who cares this is a family table you have any place at the table amen go critic God thank you lord yeah but I still got problems we'll get you eyes off of the problem get you eyes on Jesus the problem solver has a name his name is Jesus Rolo you cares over on him he's your caretaker glory to God hallelujah art not thou our God who dis drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel and gave it to the seed of Abraham thy seat their friend forever and they dwelt therein and have built be a sanctuary therein for that name saying if when evil come up upon us as the sword judgment pestilence famine we stand before this house and in thy presence for thy name in this house and cry unto thee in our fliction then thou wilt hear and help aid you hear some faith he didn't say O God please hear oh God please hear in hell no he said you will hear and you will help amen he he has spent time in the Word of God now you can go back and you can go back and and find these very these very statements you can find these statements in the dedication of the temple amen now and now he's praised and now behold he praised God established his footing on father Abraham the source of his covenant amen now this foundation is now in do some prayer now we can pray in faith amen we can do some praying now brother we standing on the rock pray he's God we're not hoping anymore we believe it you will hear and you will hear now Lord let's talk about this enemy free behold I say the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir whom thou woods not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt but they turned from them and destroyed them not behold I say how they reward us to come to cast us out of thy possession which thou hast given us to inherit he's still not rapping about this boy he's got a case and he's pleaded amen isaiah 43:25 you remember that I even I am he who brought about that transgressions for my own sake I said what for your sake you mean you did it for my sake he said no I did it for my sake hi I said Lord AHA I don't understand that well he said number one you'd like to remember ugly things about your children I said no he said well I don't either but he said if I remember your sins I can't bless you and he said I'm out to bless you glory to God thank you Lord our God will tell not judge them for we have no matter against this great company that cometh against us neither no we want to do but our eyes are upon you praise God while we look not while we look not at the problem but we don't look at temporary stuff while we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are unseen glory to God things which are seen are subject to change but the things that are not seen glory to God are eternal and they last forever then all Judas stood before the Lord with their little ones their wives and their children then say then opponent jzl a Levite of the sons of a Seth came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation [Applause] [Music] hallelujah then then came the spirit then came the Spirit of the Lord I thought I'd let that kind of soak in on you a little bit then came the spirit not after they cried and squall and ball for three or four or five hours we just don't know what we're gonna do well they're gonna kill us all they go get us all you're dead now just you know to go dig a hole get in it I mean you're done [Laughter] then came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation and he said who said the Spirit of the Lord said hearken ye listen all Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem thou King Joseph n thus saith the Lord unto you be not afraid stop the fear right now because it started out with Jehoshaphat being afraid the scripture said and I looked it up another translation and it just simply said he was very afraid fear struck but he did not let fear do the talking he didn't let fear take over amen and don't be afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude I don't care how I don't care how big the deal is even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we fear no evil one our God is the biggest thing in the valley but listen to it remember what the remember what David said in the 23rd psalm we live in the 23rd psalm today this is where we are today that that was written for this time why was he not afraid because your rod and your staff they comfort me a man praise God now thank you Lord you let me back up here a little bit be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude for the battle is not yours but gods they literally rolled all the care of this situation over on God they put it over on him amen and he picked it up thank you lord tomorrow go ye down against them behold they come up by the cliff of ziz and you shall find them at the end of the brook or at the end of the valley before the wilderness of JRL j-rail you shall not mean to fight in this battle faith rests we rest he works we work arrests no no no no no we get all get all lathered up Oh shook up over something how on earth it has known what I'm gonna do Oh God Lord lay that'll about four o'clock in the morning I just don't know what to do I just can't figure it out I just can't they figure that why don't you go home to sleep you've already said you can't figure it out oh yeah but I can't figure it out brother cope here like that got that went to the file cabinet and any cut went through all the files from one end to the other and then from the back to the front and then he took them all out one at a time and then he put it back in wanted it up hit it in there baby it in that drawer and if you didn't know what to do before you started your head still don't know what to do but if you do what your hos a fat did and just do what the Apostle Peter said to do over yourself under the mighty hand of God casting all you care over on him praise God all your worries all your concerns particularly stuff that you don't know what to do you sure you ain't gonna figure out what to do for morning if you didn't know what to do when you went to be a man and just go to sleep of faith I can't do that I know it's how'd you know you said you didn't we couldn't and you have what you say you mean you've been going to church here this long you didn't know that I know Jerry must have told you that 14 times before it is so extremely important in the combat zone what you say it needs to be praise and worship most particularly when you and I do not know what to do it would be a wonderful time to just shut up don't let anything but praise come out your mind just praise God just worship Him when we pray we enter into his presence when we praise he enters into ours he inhabits the praise of his people now that's enough to get happy about right all right now you'll not need to fight in this battle set yourselves stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you o Judah and Jerusalem fear not that's a second time he said it deal with the fear deal with it just stop it I refuse to fear I just absolutely refuse now it may be just absolutely just running all over you you be at you'll be shocked to find out how little strength fear has to a born-again Holy Ghost baptized tongue talking believer Amen thank you Jesus just power it up God it'll just fly out of there just like them scared bird it has no strength to bail now if you don't know Jesus as your Lord you got some problem but you can change that in 30 seconds amen thank you lord now then fear not nor be dismayed tomorrow go out against them the Lord will be with you Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord worshiping the Lord and the Levites of the children of the kohathites the children of the co heights stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on how they declared their case the word came they received it amen and took their victory right then they took it they believed they received it and took it right then by praising God can you see that all right now that they rose early in the morning and went forth into the wilderness of Tokyo or Tekoa scuse me and as they went forth Jehoshaphat stood and said hear me o Judah you inhabitants of Jerusalem believe in the Lord your God so shall you be established believe his prophets so shall you prosper he just reminded them what the Prophet said the night before we got up early okay guys it was wonderful last night we all got really excited but hey we own the battlefield now remember what the Lord said remember what the Prophet said amen we won't do this thing this 21st verse Mac for years I thought God instructed Jehoshaphat to put those singers I don't I just didn't read it closely enough to put the singers up front of the army no the people decided to do that look at it look at it when he had consulted with the people he appointed singers unto the Lord that should praise the beauty of holiness as they went out before the army and to say praise the Lord for His mercy endures forever praise the Lord for His mercy endures forever praise the Lord for His mercy in Dewar's for praise for his mercy endures for him and when they began to sing and praise the Lord set ambushment against the children of my mother a man the law of physics says for every action there is an equal reaction well that's true in the spirit for every action of faith there is a reaction of power from God hallelujah Oh somebody missed a chance to shout Amen hallelujah praise God forever I said praise God thank you Lord Jesus God the Lord set ambushment against the children of Ahmad Moab Mount Seir which would come against Judah and they were smitten for the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir other to late to this slam destroy them they got in a fight among themselves they literally wiped one another out that's how stupid the devil is he don't know SiC them from come on some of you kids don't have a clue what that means Lord are they to be that young again it used to be and particularly out in West Texas that and you go back a long time ago when back when people actually fought dogs they trained dogs to fight well you tell your pet dog to come home or sick fool that's bad man you got a good dog you say Sycamore whoever it was is bit rat then and that poor dumb dog don't know SiC them from come on [Laughter] you'll be alright on that though they were ignorant is they ignorant steel so anyway and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Shearer everyone helped to destroy another do Lord when Judah came toward the watchtower they came up on a high hill where you could see over in there they looked unto the multitude and behold they were dead bodies fallen to the earth and none escaped when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies and precious jewels which they stripped off for themselves more than they could carry away and there were three days in the gathering of the spoil it was so much what I don't understand is how come those guys took all that stuff to war dum de dum dum dum I don't know I've thought about it and thought about that well you know you better take all your money you know there's no telling you know that much Oh from ceará they'll steal everything you got you know took all of their jewels the only thing and I'm I rather believe this is right there is such a powerful army that they took all of their wealth with them there in the view nobody has a chance against them and they're just going to come down there and just wipe this bunch of Jews off of the face of the earth and going and take all that they have and you know loaded up along with all of their other stuff with them and so they they had all this stuff alone I don't I don't think each one had all their money's and everything but but they made sure that they had all of the wealth and everything who knows what they had taken off all other other people but they the wealth of the sinner was laid up for the just hallelu they just brought it all over there to Jehoshaphat a glory to God and when they began to sing and praise the Lord said ambushes they began to sing and praise amen now let's go to the book of Acts the sixteenth chapter Acts chapter 16 verse 23 Paul and Silas are in prison they're in stocks they've been whipped and beat and the way of those days was to beat a man his clothes as you can without killing him hurt him as badly as you possibly can without killing him so he'd just suffer and suffer and suffer and suffering and when they had laid many stripes upon them they cast them into prison charging the jailer to keep them safely who having received such a charge thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in stocks at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God and the prisoners heard him I believe now when you have when you have two portions of Scripture and and they are going down the same tracks here we just read the same thing in second chronicles 20 as they praised and sang God moved and I just and when you had it we're not just thinking and contriving and so forth but when you're studying these things I was studying this in the book of Acts and I suddenly realized hey the Apostle Paul knew every word of that he knew every word of second chronicles steadied it huh amen I don't know but what he had this on his mind this is the way Jehoshaphat won it and this is the way we're going to win it glory of God just start singing and praising God in midnight singing and praising singing and praising with a loud voice and that what they said that went with a loud voice with a loud voice His mercies in your forever with a loud voice they sang and the prisoners heard glory to God come on with a loud voice instead of just lying there in the middle of the all of this just walling around and worry and I'm telling you if you can't get it do anything and just get up out of that bed start dancing around with a loud foot and start praising God I don't care what happens to me in that courtroom tomorrow I'll tell you one thing I'm coming out of their hole I'm coming out of there the winter glory to God my God my God my God my God my God my God solitude and just begin to sing and praise and shout and worship God and run around in the front of the church I love you thank you Lord Jesus hey man and like brother Hagin you should say just act like then just act like the Bible's true amen thank you lord now then let's go we're talking about developing a life of Thanksgiving and gratitude you have to renew your mind and become determined that that's going to be my first action praise is the first thing that's coming out of my man years oh I'm talking about drug back in the very beginning years of this ministry would have been Oh in the early 70s we had a big heavy Ottoman and I mean everything and back in those days our meetings would be two three weeks long you know and all that and we'd get home and oh man when I did get home I was almost home I love home we get home and I I this fool I don't even want to go to bed I just want to I just want to be home maybe I'm 10 to 18 Casey go home we were head boss'll Switzerland we cut the car going into the last service and we were flying out that night we got in the car and Mike Lee / our our head of security was in the right front seat and our driver was was a an off-duty police officer there in boss'll and of course they were respecting us you know and being quiet and I looked over there Gloria and and she said geez seagull ha I just started hauling in the backseat well they didn't hear anything oh they heard me to start laughing out loud no I'm just I'm just haha in the backseat Chico anyway ah you know our state of long as I could I'm just so sleepy and I got up and turned the light out I'm headed toward the bedroom and I kicked that big green stool and I heard it pow man and I knew no broken toe the first thing out my loud mama glories hug God thank you Jesus I'm healed Alleluia glory be to Jesus glory glory glory go when only what on in went to bed and went to sleep by faith and and how do you do that brother Copeland I ain't got time to sew now you go to the 127 song you know his veins rise up early and sit up late feeding on the bread of Sorrows for he gives his beloved sleep that soy as sleep is a gift so I believe I received the gift glory to God now and by faith I believe I'm sound asleep right now so good night anyway I woke up the next morning all that thing was it heard sure so again you have to protect your faith and yet yet you have to continue to praise continue to pray while we look not at the things which are temporary well I take that literally I refuse to look at that foot I absolutely refuse to look at it and it it seemed like the devil was just waiting for me to open my eyes and I oh my he said won't you look at your foot is black and blue why don't you look at your foot it black and blue why don't you look at it it's black why don't you look at it it's black why don't you look at it splat I said I'm not gonna look at it I don't care if it's black I have very close friends their toes are black all the time and I'm not looking tears ha ha I went over the drawer and got my socks and putting them to close my eyes sock on that foot well Gloria's in the kitchen fixing breakfast and I walked in there and I said Gloria about two o'clock in the morning I kicked that big green stool in there and broke my toe but I want you to know glory to God I'm healed she said I agree with that in the name of Jesus your that glory to God I'm healed praise God and it was hurting me then and there it would have been so easy to try to get some sympathy here so I went on to I had an appointment at the airport and I drove over there and there's a little single-engine Cessna the first airplane this ministry ever had and I used to work on that airplane Airport and I knew that airplane and and I had already made up my heart and mind that faith if I could talk Pappy Spinks into selling that airplane that's that's the first one I was gonna have because they knew what kind of condition it was in and everything so I went over there to talk to him about it and oh man I got out of my car and I walked in the office there the receptionist I walked up there I said you know see I'm saying it I said you know this morning I kicked a big old stool there and our living room and broke my toe oh I'm so sorry I said but you know Jesus said when he was on the earth there whatsoever thing you desire when you pray believe you received it and you'll have it glory to God I want you to know I'm healed right now by the time I got that out she was already up and headed toward this is pretty office she didn't want any part of me so and anyway I went in there and and talked to him and we made a deal and so I walked back out there to go around and look at the airplane and no no no I had it backwards I was going around there and look at and then come back around to others anyway don't matter well there's no way I was gonna drive around there it was around behind the hanger so I got I got in a coin and that thing was hurtin I got in the car and I drove about as far as from here to that back wall just around the ramp there and around the hanger and Mac when I stepped out of the car just as healed as it is right now [Music] amen while we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are unseen praise go so let's go now now I'm not to know this suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundation of the prison was shaken and immediately all the doors were open and everyone's bands were loosed that was not a natural earthquake it didn't damage that prison now you listen to me they could have had an earthquake that is just natural and shake the thing around and all that kind of business but it wouldn't have loosed everyone's chains come on help me here now here's a vital piece of information the power that shook that prison the power that loosed those chains came out of Paul and Silas it didn't come from heaven the God that set them free was living right there on the inside of him I'm telling you it was the power of the Spirit of the Living God that shook that place and there was so much glory there was so much power that had come out of them in their praise and in their worship that the prisoners couldn't move the glory was there it's just it just captured everyone in the place they couldn't move from where they were they didn't want to lose amen that jailer now this was in philippa are you listening that jailer now I checked this out and my own studies and all of that but then I call Rick Ritter and I'll talk to him about it and and Rick said the evidences is there that there's not just absolute no question about it this jailer became the pastor of the church at Philippi and these prisoners made up the first part of that church its convict church amen glory to God they all had experienced the glory thank you Lord Jesus now then go with me please to the book of Romans chapter 1 and let's look at the difference here how different this is from what we read in second chronicles 20 let's read the 20th verse for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuse because that when they knew God they glorified him not as God neither were thankful neither were grateful but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened they they didn't get this way overnight because when they knew God they glorified him not as God neither we're thankful of grateful but became vain in their imaginations they just didn't have any time for him just been paying attention to a little bit at a time a little bit at a time a little bit at a time well this didn't give him any thought at all and of course they weren't thankful well as Satan begins to take advantage of that it got from their unthankful Minds into the place where it darkened their hearts they had no time for God at all now how can we translate that into our time these are people that over a period of time are just too caught up in other things well we're having a meeting over the church well you know we'll sure try to be there you're lying you didn't more intend to come don't add lion to the list the real truth is there's something on television they want to watch well that's all right stay home and watch it but the next time you get blindsided with something you're not gonna have any idea what to do about it and you could find out you find out just enough just enough tonight to save your life or the life of your child some tragedy just strikes all of a sudden and you just starts screaming and hollering and running around in circles I'm saying all the wrong stuff and just doomed the thing but before you ever get started because I'm not developing a lifestyle of Thanksgiving I remember oh my mother bless her sweetheart I'll tell you mama was a thank you Jesus woman I mean she's thanking Jesus awesome thank you Jesus thank you Jesus oh thank you Jesus thank you Jesus oh thank you Jesus thank you Jesus oh thank you thank you Jesus oh thank you Jesus I can come in with something stupid something she'd say Kenneth God's not gonna fall off his throne just because you did something stupid said just come on just thank him just thank you Jesus she said besides that Jesus he'd come in this year I said mommy you said that last year I know it but he's come an issue I said come on mama yeah oh yeah he's coming to shoot I said what if he don't come this year she's yeah but he is and the next year I'd say mama he didn't come she's yeah but he's coming this year yeah go rid of God yeah she'd say glory to God glory go thank you Jesus thank you Lord God praise God so neither were thankful but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart you say something long enough until it gets down in your heart it will control your life good or bad now for years I'll go go way back but when I was young there's just young kids I I never did I look back on it I don't know what what was the source of it back then but I had I had to really push myself and I was overweight all the time and when it came to exercise and so forth man I just really had to push I just had to just push hard just to just to workout and so forth and so I literally hated it and I said so well and then the Lord started dealing with me about exercising and then I hated it just as much after he started telling me as I did one of my coaches tell me and I'd do it for a little while and you know I'll start hurting and quit and I pay the price for it and anyway it started really dealing with me about it and so I said yes sir glory to God I received that and this mandate he asked me if if I would agree with him and and do what it takes to fulfilled Genesis 6:3 the days of man shall be a hundred and twenty years that what would I do then well this one over a period of several years and I thought about it and he said that's just much my word and by my stripes you were healed and I won't go into old old thing but I anyway I agreed to do it and and then he started talking to me about exercising so forth he said he said I'm asking you to get your spirit in the top spiritual condition as possibly as you can get it I'm asking you to get your mind and your will and your emotions in top condition and I'm asking you to get your physical body in top condition well I didn't much want to hear it but I agreed now I spent all those years saying how much I hate exercise but I'm a I'm I'm willing and obedient glory to God I'm just I'm excited about it and I went into the art barely used exercise room and I walked up there and Mac I caught a hold of those we're open I was gonna do some some tricep exercise I caught a hold of that and before I could stop it it came out my mouth I said god I hate this before before I slapped my hand over my mouth I said oh oh Lord no I don't oh god please forgive me forget I love this because of your command to me in the name of Jesus I physically felt that thing leave my body there was a spirit just hounding me trying to keep me from ever becoming committed to that exercise amen well I want you to know he's God God and I love it I really just really do love it amen but I wanted you to see whatever you say long enough to get it down in your heart it'll control your life amen the prophet Micah said a baby's gonna be born in Bethlehem okay 715 years it came to pass that word controlled armies 715 years it controlled humanity right up to the point of placing in Caesars mind that idea you've got to go back home to pay your taxes just in time for Mary to barely get there and he had to be born in that manger it was not because his parents were poor poor people don't pay taxes dum-dum excuse me big nerd well that came out Texas didn't it ignorant no ignorance better anyway no the only reason he was born in that major there was no room in the end in that right he had to be born there that word seven hundred and fifteen years before controlled even the very atmosphere to get that baby born right at the right second in the right spot with the right people there how they lose well let me tell you something you are born again you have the mighty power of the same God residing on the inside of you and your words are powerful your words will control things your fear filled words are full of power fear power amen hateful words that you just keep saying over and over I hate this I hate this well I that was a stupid thing for any man to say anyway use a word like hate I don't hate anything but the devil sends sickness demons and disease and poverty i poverty with them I love people and I hate the poverty that enslaves people and warps people's hearts and minds and steals from it really doesn't bother me but our God but our God a sad but hard gives us the power to get wealth and do something about them yes amen how they thank you Lord Jesus now then let's go to Philippians chapter 4 and see what the Apostle Paul said to the convict Church Philippians chapter 4 verse 6 being careful for nothing or be anxious for nothing but in everything what does everything mean every thing in every thing by prayer and supplication with with with we're Thanksgiving with Thanksgiving let your request be made known to go oh I like what the classic amplified said they continue continue making your request known to God how by giving in things by giving in things you go to the word you find the scripture basis for what you're believing God and you stand on that word and you settle it glory to God I'm big on taking the the the exact time and write it down glory to God the very day hallelujah that I believe God on this word and stood on it glory to God and it is mine in the name of Jesus and I absolutely will not turn it loose it is mine glory to God hallelujah thank you lord and then just remind the Lord I just want to thank you lord I just want to thank you praise God I just worship you glory be to God I praise you and thank you and honor you and thank you for your word and according to your word when I stood on that hallelujah whoa glory be to God October the 12th 842 in the evening thank you Jesus sitting on the rent the Lancaster Texas Airport I got a new heart I got a new heart thank you Jesus thank you Lord I said thank you thank you thank you and I did thank you lord thank you Jesus yeah and I just thanked him said I'm still just just think I just want thank you I thank you I just oh I think you thank you thank you no I don't care if I was heaven I found I've never had a heart pain in my life but if I was heading heart pains and that hadn't taken that on that night and now glory to God that's my god I'd still be thanking him for it and just praising him for it and then making it there every time the head of pain just start laughing merry heart does good like a medicine glory to God ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I was blessed just a few days ago and had dr. Avery Jackson one of the leading neurosurgeons in the United States and and on the broadcast and I met him in Detroit at Bishop butlers Church he was that he started going to that church his parents didn't leaves eight years old and he knew when he was in the first grade that he was going to be in a brain surgeon and that's what he is and one of the best in the world he said that they have absolutely proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that your brain and the the endorphins and the dopamine which is a painkiller doesn't know the difference between a put-on laugh and a real life your body doesn't know the difference ha ha ha ha ha and they have laughing classes for people that are in a lot of pain particularly cancer patients and they lead them in laughter and they tell them they said there's not anything fun funny they said we know it but just just just just this is part of your I'm your doctor now and this is what I'm telling you to do this is just part of it and as they as they follow that and do that and they keep doing it and keep having that the pain subsides I found that you can do the same thing praise and go oh yeah I've done it I have done it when there's just so much pain you just that disk blew up my back in 2004 and how to sit everything a back yard so I'll tell you what that left leg thing and I picked this up in Keith Moore I said god I want to praise you

merry heart doeth good like a medicine well ready to go all right now Psalm 107 first 20 sent His Word and healed and delivered them from their destruction I have stood on that scripture and confessed that Scripture in that you know all all of these tabs in my Bible those are those are healing scriptures and we know we can just flip through and go different one but you go over the first verse o give thanks unto the Lord for he is good for his mercy endures forever let the redeemed of the Lord say so whoa-ohh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for his wonderful works for he satisfy the longing soul and filleth the hungry soul with goodness verse 19 then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble and he saved with them out of their distresses he sent his word and he healed and delivered them from their destructions and I was going through this a few days ago and the word of the Lord Himself came to me he said can you see there what I said let the redeemed of the Lord say so he said I intend for you to say so and praise and worship he said that's tied to that xx first let the redeemed of the Lord say so and he sent his word what happened when Jehoshaphat and them prayed he sent his word he sent his word they stood up before God and declared all these things and then God spoke and sent His Word and delivered them from their distress and their destruction say Amen somebody so it's yeah I want to take time to do this and then we have one more than willing to go to second Corinthians 2:14 now thanks be unto God which always causes us to triumph in Christ and maketh manifest the savior of his knowledge by us in every place for we are under God a sweet savour in Christ thanks beyond the God thanks be unto God which always causes us to triumph well glory to god I'm going on in there this morning he always causes me to triumph I'm gonna come out on top in this one - glory be to God thanks be to God thanks be to God thanks be to God well thanks be to God which always gives us the victory well he's talking about victory over death there in 1st Corinthians 15:57 hahaha yeah grave where is your victory death where is your sting thanks be unto God which always gives us the victory in crisis thanks B under thanks beyond thanks be under thanks be under thanks for being it always causes me the truck always causes me to come out on top glory to God yeah but brother Copeland you might die well is there any question about it you're gonna die you should have known that but the time years four years old you're gonna die who cares the other side of that is stunning how I love it but we stay here until we finish our course and we finish it with joy and we finish it with praise and we finish it it's with strength and we finish it with strength from God strength praise God that comes from praise and worship because the joy of the Lord is our strength the book of Ephesians Oh learn this one learn this learn this learn this learn this learn this I want us to turn first to the fourth chapter I have a big line drawn from 429 to 5-4 let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is good to the use of edifying that it may Minister grace to the hearers grieve not the Holy Spirit of God now right over to the fourth verse of the fifth chapter neither filthiness nor foolish talking nor jesting which are not convenient or not fit that's talking about filthy talking stupid jokes and stuff but rather the giving of thanks the giving of thanks and giving a thank you might be caught right in the middle of a bunch just standing around just saying really ugly things stuff you don't even want to hear what do you start praising God right in the middle of it well brother Copeland I might offend him now how you want who cares there was a brother James Robinson oh he was in a place where there was a number number of preachers gathered this in his place and this one man came up to James and started talking about me and and really just really running me down and jokes change said could I have everybody's attention please but this brothers got brother Copeland on his heart would you go ahead and pray for him brother oh boy you tell you what if you don't want to know what James thinks don't don't don't ask him he's the most lovely man just just just the love of God just all the time just shines through it and if you're gonna start talking bad about somebody here just stop and pray for that person or have you pray for him right on the spot you mean okay like John Osteen was with brother Hagin and they went into a car dealership and brother Hagin had decided he was gonna buy a certain no no I believe it's the other way around John had decided he's gonna buy this car and he had a price on on the back of a salesman's card and he went in there and brother Hagin went with him well the owner of the place met him and he said I'm on by that corner and he said here's what the salesman said I but no no now knowing the guy just started discussing the blue streak no no there no Wavelab dribbling and and so John said it praise God praise God thank you Jesus thank you Jesus praise God praise God hallelujah hallelujah and the god just froze in his truck he said if you're gonna curse him I'm on a blessing I'm gonna add the land equal time can't you just see John doing it praise God praise God thank you Jesus thank you Jesus Hebrews chapter 13 thank you Lord by him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name back to the 12th chapter wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses let us lay aside every weight that's this unnecessary stuff and sin which doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God consider him fix your mind on him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself lest you be wearied and faint in your mind fix your mind on Jesus just begin to praise him develop a life of praise and thanksgiving renew renewing our minds so that Thanksgiving and praise is the first thing the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night I go to sleep by faith I wake up by faith I am used an alarm clock in 40 years and anything you can do like that that that that you can develop your faith just just small things like that do it I'll be late to work yeah you will I'll never be late to work no you won't you it's shocking right before you go to sleep if you say in the name of Jesus I'm going to wake up in the morning at 15
