down it's good and it's bad it's positive and it's negative it's right and it's wrong there are joys and there are sorrows there are proverbial days and nice clear skies and a lot of clouds life has two sides you up today you down tomorrow you alright today sick enough to die tonight I wish I could stand here and tell you that it was all would always be pleasant and peaceful and palatable and preferential and coucher and kosher and comfortable and congenial and convenient and acceptable but I'm afraid I'll lead you in the wrong directions it's bad it's painful it's bellicose it's burdensome it's troubling it's tear-jerking it's sad it's horrible it's heartbreaking it's tear-jerking I'm trying to give you time to catch up it's wearing some it will worry you enroll and you were tossed and you were tumble at night and still be a child of God [Applause] because live has two sides you got a deal with good and evil God is on your side and Satan is always at your side angles always pulling for you and demons always come in action because life has a way of reminding you as of how real it really is it has two sides and there's a question against the backdrop of the realities of life doctor black and the question is how you go handle it you didn't you didn't hear me knock talker how are you gonna handle life when you have to contend with the side of life that you don't want to contend with I know I know that some clergy color.when misleading dogmatists who has their twisted theology that they convey to weak-minded Christians on radio and TV and social media and they told you that all you've got to do is name it and claim it but they forgot to tell you you got to pay for it before you get it they told you that all you got to do is reach up and grab it but they didn't tell you that it has to be yours when you're reaching for something that could belong to somebody else life has two sides how you're gonna deal with life with it hand you the rough side the rugged side the tough side the sick side that die side the cancer side the doctor side the dead side the layoff side the being fired side to have nothing side the divorce side are you listening to me the separated side they're held in your home side how do you handle that [Applause] because some people can't handle it they crack up in the middle of the crisis they stress out in the middle of the strain dr. Hayes they bail out from underneath the border burden and they become frustrated when things become frictional because they can't handle the rough side of life if you would but give me a few morning's moments I'll try to share with you some helpful holy hints from the testimony and disposition of a man who has celebrated as a king and the most popular King in all of Israeli history you know him his name is David pal killa David Lance Lynn David giant-killing David all anointed David the gods choice man David man after God's own heart David hymn writer David singer and musician David one who writes most of the psalmist in the Book of Psalms David but his life was not so pristine and his life was not burden free David had to deal with both sides of life [Applause] and at this point we're on David conveyed all comprised this him this song this song it was a result of him having been released from King Abimelech of the Philistine nation since he was a boy he had to run from King Saul and save his life because Saul was always envious and jealous of David and David's best friend Saul's son Jonathan helped David to escape from south and having raised his own family his son Absalom decided he wanted to take his daddy's throne and chase David off of the toll and while he's on the run he is up in the enemy's camp their arch-nemesis of the nation of Israel doles being the Philistine nation you know their most famous citizen Goliath the nine feet Giants and they brought David into the presence of the king of the Philistine nation Abimelech and he could appeal David but he was stunned by David's behavior which was a plan of escape and David didn't try to negotiate David didn't try to deliberate David didn't attempt to indulge in any means of method of mannerism of mediation he acted as though he lost his mind and he acted as though he was insane and the King figured that the worst thing that could happen to David was to just release him to the beast of the wild and let them eat him alive and the plan worked in David's waiver and David heaven escaped the sword or saw the indent of Absalom and having gotten away from there from there from their evil hand of Abimelech he stole away one day took out a pen and started writing the song I will bless the Lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth that is to say I've had it good and I've had it bad I've been up and I've been down I've been on the throne and I've been on the run but here is what my resolution is I've learned Wow [Applause] can I trust that's just er David GLaDOS is in here somewhere maybe not David I hope you're his twin sister because somebody in here tonight they've got that church thing going on they're waving a hand like everyone else clapping the hand like everyone else shout and praise the Lord thank you Jesus bless His name like everyone else they're rockin with the rhythm of Zion song as you lean shoulder to shoulder launching lovely lot of a lot like lyrics from their lips and lungs with their fellow clap members just like everybody else this is now with the Bible tucked and clutched to their chest or in their laps honor their arms just like everybody else but back at the address they're dealing with the other side of life where they push the cop they had the deal with the other side of life and dr. Jackson they have crossed every T and they've got it every I and no sooner than when they're crossed every T and dotted every I might introduce them to the rest of the alphabet like T for trouble like B for burden and they came to church tonight looking for some kind of remedy some kind of solution some kind of answer and how to deal with the rough side of life David suggests here is how are you oughta face it shout hallelujah in a half now it takes it takes a unique spirit to do this well the weather's been not just anybody can do this it takes a David like disposition to say hallelujah is is a spirit that um that says I will I will praise the Lord [Applause] perpetually you didn't feel you didn't you he said I can shout hallelujah Anaheim because my praise is not situational [Applause] you getting that you get in there there are those who have who have no issue expressing themselves emotive Lee while occupied two choir loft or pulpit they have no problem dr. Pope doing their holy dance as long as they're happy at home they've got joy in Jesus as long as they've got a good job and they can praise the Lord as long as they're getting a paycheck every Friday are you listening to me but the real question is can you praise God when your back is against the wall here some people's worship yes is predicated upon the circumstance and situation therefore they give and display a sheer exhibition of situational theology their treasure what that mean River that means there with God as long as things are going well but when things are rough they condescend to some corrupt method or measure in order to help them deal with their dilemma David said I will bless the Lord at all times that word all in the Hebrew this is gonna bless your heart that Walker is cold in the Hebrew cold here is what it means the whole of it stay with me David wasn't just saying I will bless the Lord at all times he was saying I will bless the Lord all alone because the word suggests he would bless the Lord the whole time in other words he got away from Abimelech and started praising God but that wasn't the first time he started praising God while David was acting crazy he was saying watch God work this out while he was acting like a man insane he was talking to the Lord and celebrating victory before victory ever got there you still not with me you can't just praise God after you get out of it you gotta start giving God glory why you in it I wish you had a print check you tonight you ought to be praising God why are you taking your chemo you need to be praising God while you're taking your radiation you need to talk praising God why are you standing before the judge not when you get out of the courtroom you gotta praise the Lord the hall [Applause] Marseille ought to be somebody somewhere only Pugh who says within themselves I'm gonna celebrate him while I'm in it lord help me preach David said I could shout his David still here David said I could sure I can I can say hallelujah in a house because my praise is not situation that's in verse one David said I can say hallelujah in a house because I've got some people with whom I can identify when I celebrate David says I'm gonna make sure that somebody watch this hears about it but that's not all they're gonna hear they're gonna hear about my circumstance but they're gonna also hear about my prison in my circumstance there are humble shall hear about it and they're gonna praise God - you still didn't feel the fresh law of socialism is that every species dwells among its kind that's why lines hang out with lions and not gorillas that's why that's why elephants hang out with elephants and not giraffes is because the law of socialism is that every species let me talk tonight dwell among its own kind that's why you all be careful about who you sitting next to then you come church on Sun that that you might not be of your species that's why you have to be careful about what kind of friends you take on you trying to live straight and they don't know what straight is you got to be careful that's not your species you're a church girl brought up in the fear and admonition of God and you got to pick up a lifestyle with Pookie and Ray Ray and Sheneneh that's not your species your mama didn't raise you and put the word that rhyme with itch and begin with B on your birth certificate and any man who can pull you out of your name like that that's not your species [Applause] while you got some cheap lad with his pants hanging around his knees and now she got her pants hanging around her knee nap and call them selves on the date you and take you out somewhere to someplace that's of cheap marketing presentation if that's the way you let them treat you then that's the way they're gonna treat you but you need to remind them that Bureau of a different kind of species than that talk to me somebody and when I go to church I want to be sure that I hang around somebody for the same species and and and David said the humble will hear about it and watch this they're going to be glad for me wait wait there are some people mark Walker who want to see you be successful but they don't want to see you as successful as they are [Applause] that Pope they want to see you get ahead but they just don't want to see you get ahead of them and you need to dismiss yourself of that trickle and phony and fallible friendship and fraternity and hang around somebody you can identify with that will be have you ever have you ever now where I live where I pastor it's not unusual to see you know what people in the community called drunks hang out with one another now you all don't have that in Jackson Mississippi but have you ever had some point seen a car full of alcoholics [Music] [Applause] it might be four might be fired and they'd be driving about two miles per hour and I'd have no telling how many roads the streets they see but they get where they're going and you notice something whenever they get off in a huddle somewhere they might have a fifth or paint and what do they do come on Oh try to play holding on the now you in here now watch this now this is gonna bless your heart Doug Jackson they pass around but you ever notice that when it gets down to a coma nobody will hit the last note now while it's full three quarters half full there pass it telling one another hit this but when it gets down to the corner nobody wants to take the last sip you know why I'm saying is because they know that when the last sip is gone the fellowship is over come in I need some drinking buddies tonight I need somebody to help me pass this thing around I need somebody who wants to hang out with me as a species of my own kind because if you can catch hell all week and still have a hallelujah in your heart you are my kind of people if you can be stressed out all week and then show up and shout on it on Sunday morning you're my kind of people if you have problems or bug problems and still can praise the Lord [Applause] huh I know I'm gonna have to skip some of this watch this now David said the Amish air here a bit and they're gonna be glad for me and he said magnify the Lord with me the layman just in case when he said his praise shall continually when you look up the word continually here's what it means in the Hebrew dr.
