if you're able for the reading of sean the bar glory to god [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] if you will please turn with me to habakkuk chapter 3. that's right before zephaniah and right after nahum her back outcome chapter 3. [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh glory to god [Applause] back up chapter 3 [Music] beginning with verse 17 and before i read the scripture as i have told you so many times all of my teachings and whatever the lord gives me to preach comes from you different issues and things that you may be experiencing maybe not everybody but some of you and it is i do believe my divine assignment to try to minister to some of your needs when i was thinking about this earlier this week i thought about doc warren doc i want to tell you thank you you have kept this ministry floating and you don't even know it and we have to tell you thank you [Applause] i thought about stacy hubbard and some things she's been going through i thought about lithia of course and andre and so many others whose names i cannot mention because i do not know everybody's name but i know your face my precious people why do you think i call everybody baby cause i can remember that baby or precious ones because you are precious in the sight of god ah in a backup a and sandra and linda and ray and different ones i don't know what's been on your mind lately and what you're going through exactly but let me read this to you though the fig tree should not blossom and there be no fruit on the vine though the yield of the olive should fail and the fields produce no field food though the flop should be cut off from the fold and there be no cattle in the stalls yet will i exalt in the lord i will rejoice in the god [Music] of my salvation for the lord god is my strength and he has made my feet like hein's feet and makes me walk on my high places father once again help your man servant stand up in this vessel of clay in the name of jesus if i was to entitle this anything can i ask you to please look at your neighbor if you live in the same house with them touch them if you don't just look at them and say no matter what whatever it takes [Music] i will praise him [Music] and you may be seated [Music] in the name of the lord jesus christ my precious people i have to have a procedure tomorrow and i'm preparing for it and i did not feel like quite frankly preaching today but human told me when i don't preach the offerings go down you stingy negros young member but we have to keep the ministry afloat and i do believe there is a word for somebody whatever it is those of you that know me know that out of all that i have been through i still have joy and the joy of the lord is my strength my precious people i'm not one who can get up on sunday morning and put something together just to throw at you because you're too smart you are too steep i have spent over 35 years teaching you that's why i don't put a lot of people in front of you because everybody cannot minister to y'all many of you are mature and have matured greatly in your faith however these past few years have been trying times for us a couple of years ago i started communicating with hillman and a few others you all we have to start preparing for the next generation but it is difficult least it has been difficult for me to bring young people in young people seem to have a different ascent a different focus and so god is so good until he is a keeper in spite of that and god has kept us when i look here at the book of some theologians call it the prophecy of habakkuk habakkuk presents a picture speaking of himself hear me now if you will of a man who trusted god although he was perplexed and had questions and as religious reminded as some of us are as i said last week some of us think it is a sin to question god the sin is not in the question the sin is in the attitude behind the question because every time you talk to god that in a sense is prayer it is interceding on your own behalf and sometimes the behalf of others uh i'm gonna take my time today it's just like funerals people find attention when someone in their family dies and as i've told you so many times the funeral is not for the dead person it is for the living i've made the practice here at mount zion to keep funerals 45 minutes or less because i'm not going to have the family sitting up here at a body that's why the box will be closed here because it's not about that even at a funeral it's about giving god the glory whatever it takes my precious people i feel the need to impress upon you once again that natural life will take you down if you do not have an abiding divine spiritual life to lift you up and i need to be clear when i say spit at your life because a lot of people call themselves spiritual and you may be but there are a lot of different spirits out here and when i say a divinely spiritual life i'm talking about one that is energized and fueled by your knowledge and experience with the god of abraham isaac and jacob the main reason hallelujah that habakkuk is trying to communicate to us the main reason why god is trustworthy is because of his own reputation his character cannot be altered he cannot be doubted cannot be changed he was god before you got here and he will be i shall he will be god when you're gone john in his gospel gives us some insight in the first chapter he said in the beginning was the word not the world but the word and the word was with god and the word was god whatever's been created was created by this word and then it goes on as i skip forward and says that the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory as i did in my research i found out that the name habakkuk means one who embraces god and in order to embrace god we cannot do it without first embracing his holiness and in so doing we embrace and cling to his character and i thank god that he is the same yesterday today and forever i don't know how people live without the lord i i don't know how people can maintain unless they are maintaining in him i don't know how you can love somebody on monday and hate them on tuesday because love don't change because god is love and god does not change hallelujah hallelujah lord i feel my strength coming don't send it just yet jesus the psalmist the psalmist said in psalm 116 i love the lord because he heard my cry and he turned his ear toward me i will call him as long as i live because he is or right now and our on-time guard i know that sometimes we don't feel like it and we wonder where god is that is where habakkuk was hey [Music] but when he gets to the end of this habakkuk presents god in two ways he calls him elohim which means the almighty one the all-powerful one then he calls him in the next verse yahweh which means the self-existent one he doesn't need me and he doesn't need you in order to exist simon said my lord said to my lord sit you here in my right hand until i make your enemy your footstool every other title for god defines his self-existence and his power the most common name found in scripture for god is jehovah and it's used the six thousand eight hundred and thirty two times in the scripture somebody called him jehovah jairo which means the lord will provide somebody else called him jehovah nisi which means the lord is my banner let me stop there for a moment that's why i don't need to post what i cooked sunday on social media everybody knows you can make mac and cheese you ain't got to put it up there uh but some people just need a platform but i don't need a platform because everywhere i go everywhere i be the lord is my banner ah i'm not thinking about [Applause] him being a banner for you but i thank god that he's a manner to my enemies psalmist said when my enemies and my foes came upon me to devour my flesh they stumbled and failed to a host being camped against me of this one thing shall i be confident one thing i have asked of the lord that i shall seek that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the lord and to meditate in his temple for in the day of trouble i said in the day of trouble i said in the day of trouble i said in the day of trouble he shall hide me somebody call him jehovah shalom which means the lord is my peace how many of you know that there's power give me just a minute pastor i'll be with you because if you push me i won't get to my place well how many know that there's power in the name jesus how do you even know that he loved you so much he died for you i i'm trying to wrap this up there's a story told a true story of a young woman probably 12 or 13 years old and her mother would take her to school every day one day she came home and she said mama i don't want you to take me to school anymore and her mother said why baby she said because your face is all scarred and the kids make fun of you and it hurt the mother so bad and she said sit down baby let me tell you while my face is scarred there was a fire in the house and i got out but you were left on the third floor and they told me not to go back in but my baby was in there she said i ran through the flames and i got my baby and i put you under my coat but my coat did not protect my face and i came back down with my baby in my arms and that's why my face is scarred that's why baby you shouldn't be ashamed of me and i believe some of y'all need to stop being ashamed of your faith in jesus because when you was lost and in sin he went to a cross and they nailed him in his hands and and they nailed him in his feet and they pierced his side every scar on jesus was put there for you and put there for me the lord is my banner and because i take him everywhere i go he is letting the enemy know that you can't get but so close because i take jesus with me he's letting the enemy know that i in him have already won this battle and i already have the victory the lord is jehovah macadem it means he's my sanctifier he is jehovah rohit which means he is my shepherd he is jehovah's canoe which means he's my righteousness he is jehovah sharma which means he is a very present helper i'm so glad today to know that i got a helper and all i got to do is call his name this power i'ma find my church in a minute just give me one more minute i said this power in the name jesus i was riding down on the freeway a few years back and i hit a ice lick and i was going round and round and i was on a bridge and an 18-wheeler was barreling down on me and the only name i could think to call what's the name jesus and don't you know somehow or another that car moved over to the side and that 18 wheeler passed by probably going 70 miles per hour and i had to get out the car and just dance a little bit and thank god that i had the good sense him to call his name demons tremble at the sound of his name um weapons um that may have been formed against him they're not going to prosper because you know his name that's why y'all it'll riley i don't understand the saints um or those who call themselves thanks that come in the sanctuary and don't sing to have a demonstrative praise i'm so glad to i like you because when i think of the goodness of jesus and all that he's done for me can i say it again we're not thinking of the goodness of jesus and all that he's done for me my soul christ hallelujah have you ever been home and you may have been going through and you may have had questions and you may have been perplexed like habakkuk what's perplexing lord i don't know what's going on in my life i don't know um why my family is acting the way it's acting him i don't know why my finances are so funny but guess what god i'm like habakkuk because in chapter 2 habakkuk said i'm going to station myself i'm going to stand right still and starting myself um let me tell you something when you are waiting um for a word from the lord and you can't afford to have a whole lot of other voices talking in your ear when you are waiting um for a word from the lord you gotta tell downtown to shut up him you gotta tell depression to shut up you gotta tell the situation to shut up sometimes you gotta tell your friend i ain't talking to you right now because you don't have um the same kind of faith cause the only thing i'm doing um is standing up on the word of god i'm standing up on the word of god but back up says him that he has made my feet up like heinz freedom in other words um he's made me to stand in rocky places and right now y'all hear me how many y'all feel like um you're in a rocky place how many of y'all feel like things may not be getting no better well if you know jesus he's going to make you stand even when the enemy is trying to make you fall from habakkuk said um in chapter two that the lord is in his holy temple let all the earth keep silent before him but when i studied the scripture i saw something in here i didn't see one place i'm done now y'all where the lord answered him he did not get no answer chapter one he didn't get an answer chapter 2 he didn't get an answer so by the time he got to the end of chapter 3 he said wait a minute though the fig tree should not blossom and that there be no fruit on the vine though the yield of the olive fields and the fields produce no food though the floccum should be cut off him and there's no cattle in the storm he said yet will i praise him and yet them will i lift him up yet um will i glorify him yet um will i worship him everything everything is not what i think it ought to be but i praise god that he do with them all things i said he do with all things um i said he do with them all things are well uh that's why the saints got to learn him how to say him hallelujah anyhow i said hallelujah anyhow never let the problem hurt never let the challenge um never let the devil get you down if a problem comes your way up simply um lift your hand insane hallelujah i need a churchill i need somebody to lift your hand up and say hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah anyhow i'm gonna dance my way out of this i'm gonna praise my way out of this i'm gonna worship him my way out of this i'm gonna keep on standing because i've got them too much experience and i said i've got them too much experience and how many of y'all got a testimony god took you through a testimony and you came out them with the testimony and you know for a faction that he's a good guard you know for a fact that you may not be feeling the best of it but he woke you up this morning he's keeping you right now he's making you to stand i said he's making you to stand he's making you to stand and when i get weak i will lift up my knives unto the heels from which comes from my health my helper my health my helper
