[Music] hey everyone we're so glad that you've tuned in for this message today i believe god gave me a word for you and i believe the word of god is going to bring you strength i believe god's going to bring someone comfort and take someone to a new level i want you to watch this message that the lord gave me and at the end i'm going to come back and we're going to pray for you god bless you enjoy this word i want to preach this morning i'm just going to continue this whole thing that we've been in for some time it's been a minute since i preached that's bad for y'all that's bad for y'all but no we're going to go right to the word this morning i'm going to preach on the holy spirit again but i want to talk about the spirit of god as it relates to our worship our worship how many know the spirit of the lord moves in our worship and i want us to talk about that today i want to talk about the river of god and worshiping in the spirit look at your neighbor tell them neighbor we're in a river today and tell them say continue to worship him in the spirit continue to worship him in the spirit [Music] john chapter 4 verse 21 when you have us amen jesus said to the woman i'm going to expedite this text today you know who this is this is the woman at the well and there's a whole lot going on here but what i want to focus on today is the the subject in the text of worship because jesus says some profound things about worship here and i want to read this text to you jesus said to her woman believe me the hour is coming when you will neither worship on this mountain nor in jerusalem worship the father you worship what you do not know we know what we worship for salvation is of the jews but the hour is coming and now is somebody to say now is come on how many no worship is a now thing the hour is coming and now is when true worshipers will worship the father in spirit and truth for the father is seeking such to worship him god is spirit everybody say that with me god is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit in spirit and truth the river of god worshiping in spirit father thank you for this time in your word may it be maximized for the glory of god i pray that we would do more than teach on worship lord i pray hearts would get so full of thanks and praise it would just break out into worship today in fact i thank you for starting a worship revolution today and i pray that people who have watched worship will become worshipers and i pray that the teaching would be revelatory and would be spirit breathed and you would touch us as we hear the word of god today in jesus name and everyone said amen can be seated in the presence of the lord this text this morning is a revolutionary text regarding the subject of worship in the bible i do not like to sound grandiose when i teach or preach the bible and sometimes people gain followers by saying crazy things like you know i i got something nobody else has if you follow teachers who tell you they're preaching something nobody else is preaching there's a reason it's marketing and and i don't listen to somebody who has something nobody else i'm gonna preach the bible it's old but it's still right i do not want to sound grandiose but this text today is revolutionary it is it is a pivotal transitional moment in which jesus inaugurates a new form and a new composition of worship now i want you to understand that when this worship revolution was announced in john chapter 4 it had never been heard of like jesus was about to tell it worship up until this moment was a very different kind of thing it was understood in a very different way in fact the only way to understand worship before this announcement here in john chapter 4 the only way to understand worship was to look back genesis through malachi and to understand worship as an old testament paradigm and when you look back at the old testament to discover what worship was and what do we mean when we say worship when you look back in the old testament you will find from from from genesis to malachi that that the old testament reveals worship in a very ceremonial very ritualistic a very disconnected almost sort of uh uh um ritualistic way and and when you flip through genesis and you start looking into exodus and leviticus every moment of worship involved blood it involved death in fact when moses trotted himself off the ark after having survived 40 days and 40 nights of rain the first thing he did is build an altar and birth the bible says animals and birds as a burnt offering before god and when god smelled it the bible said in genesis chapter 8 when god smelled burning flesh it was a sweet aroma in his nostrils everywhere you look at worship in the old testament something was dying something had to die when you when you see god being pleased in the old testament it was it was that man who understood his sinfulness would come before god with with different kinds of animals depending on the kind of offering he wanted to offer and they would lay the animal on the altar and there literally was a trench by the altar with the blood of the animal dripped because worship required death so that life could come in fact worship in the old testament watch this worship in the old testament is is given to us it's regulated as to win if you wanted to know when worship in the old testament could be found you had to find the calendar of israel because most of their worship that they engaged in followed the calendar of holy days and so they would go with their families to the temple bringing their sacrifices with them and they had a certain set of days in which they offered worship to god that's the win if you want to know where worship could be found you have to find yourself at the temple in the old testament because it was at the temple in the old testament where the altar of god were found and the priest of the of the levite priest or priestly order they were there making the sacrifices of the animals of the families on the altar at the temple and you were not supposed to worship god outside of the temple worship that the jewish people had built the jewish temple was built so that they could provide worship to god and if you wanted to know how they worshiped they would take they would take lambs and turtle doves and they would take bulls and bullets and they would they would cut the throat of the animal and all the the pet people would have a fit with the old testament form of worship because animals were dying everywhere why because sin was in the camp and the only way to appease the wrath of god was for the the blood of a living thing to be offered so that god's sin the wrath of of god could be appeased by the dying of an innocent animal this is how worship is understood in the old testament and when i start talking about worship like that people it's no wonder people don't like the subject of worship because we don't like messy things and we certainly if you're a carnal person you don't like the death of the flesh and one reason why we offer such shallow worship sometimes is because we do not understand that worship is not meant to be convenient worship is not meant to always be easy that's why the bible said in psalm 24 who shall ascend into the hill of the lord worship feels like a climb sometimes and not me pastor i come and it's always easy for me to praise god we're glad for you but some of us have to command some stuff in us to die so that we lift our hands and bless the one who is worthy some of us have to disconnect from our our weak and we have to disconnect from the mess and we have to focus on the one worship can be easy for me sometimes but sometimes i have to command my soul to worship and you say oh that's not real worship if you don't feel it it's real worship when you don't feel it but do it anyway it's real worship when you feel like giving up but you throw your hand up and say like joe naked i came in and naked i go out bless it be the name of the lord real worship isn't about you getting in your favorite song and getting in your favorite group i'm thankful for all that and that is worship but i want to tell you the worship that moves the heart of god is the stuff that cost you something that's why when david started talking about worship he said i will not offer anything to god that didn't cost me something oh lord have mercy we want to offer god what is convenient and he we want him to give us what is supernatural but sometimes god is waiting on us to give him not what is easy not what is left over but what is precious and what costs us something this is real worship and when jesus comes on the scene in the new covenant in john chapter 4 he starts a worship revolution with this text he says the hour is coming and now is now is the hour is coming and now is have you ever thought about that how is something coming and yet now the hour is coming and now is and i believe what jesus is saying is it's happening now and it's going to be in the future it's the order of the moment and it is the order of eternity there will never be a moment from now to the end of time where worship is not what's next the hour is coming and now is look at somebody tell them now is but it's not just now the hour is coming there'll never be an hour coming that it is not the hour to worship ah but pastor it's going to get worse before it gets better the world may get worse but the worshipers are going to get closer to god i wish i had a witness in the church today look at your neighbor tell them now and the hour coming see there'll never be a moment i don't care who's president i don't care what party is in control i don't care what happens to gasoline prices i don't care what happens to inflation there will never be a moment when the hour is not coming in which we all ought to be worshiping god the hell may break loose and everybody may go crazy but the hour is coming when worshipers will worship him in look at somebody tell him i plan on worshiping him when will it be right to worship him it will be right when we're standing at the throne it will be right when we're standing before the lord in eternity but it will be right next sunday morning if he carries when we get to this house the hour is coming and now is when we will worship him in spirit and truth but he doesn't just revolutionize worship by talking about when he revolutionizes worship when he says you worship on that mountain jews worship on this mountain but the hour is coming where you will not worship on that mountain or this mountain you will worship wherever you decide to worship lord i better quit it because i feel something happening right here there are some people in this room who do not worship till they get to church but there are other people in this room who cannot help but worship when they leave church because worship is not what i do for you or in front of you in fact whatever you see me doing here on sunday is over it's an overflow of where i've been all week long i didn't come here to start worship i came here to continue a worship service that has already been in progress jesus said you don't you don't have to worry about running to them that mountain you don't have to worry about running to that mountain you can run you can run to worship in your car anybody know what i'm talking about it's dangerous but it feels good you can run to worship while you're at walmart you can run to worship while you're at school walking through the hallway at your local locker you can worship god in a doctor's office when he looks at you and said you don't have a good report you don't have to wait for tobin and jojo to tell you to worship you can you are a mobile move of god i don't have to get on a plane and go find a move of god there is a river already flowing on the inside of you and i and if i understand the power of wrote about the whole jesus i feel you you can worship him anywhere you want to worship him stop letting religious people tell you that you turn on your worship on sunday morning at 10 a.m and you turn it off on sunday at noon that's why this crazy world keeps getting crazier we got the answer we got the oil we got the anointing i came to tell you let it flow [Applause] he revolutionized his worship he said you can worship him worship him whenever you can worship him wherever and in the old testament they worshiped him in ceremony and ritual in the new testament he says i'm gonna revolutionize this concept of worship i want you to be people who worship him in spirit and in truth now if you look at that text some of your translations will capitalize the word spirit and some of them leave it small case and the question throughout the ages has always been is he speaking of the holy spirit or is he speaking of man's spirit dr french harrington a dear friend of mine has always said this it's impossible in the greek to differentiate between the two if someone asked me is he speaking about the holy spirit or the human spirit my answer is yes which one yes he's speaking about both because they are inextricably same what i mean by that you can't worship in your spirit if you're saved without at some point touching the holy ghost and you can't worship say you're worshiping in the holy spirit if you're in your flesh i lost some people right there when jesus started this worship revolution he said you can worship anywhere at any time but there is one prerequisite for your worship it must be done in spirit and in truth now what i have found as a pastor is that people migrate to one or the other some people like worshiping in the spirit and they think scripture is an enemy of spiritual worship is never an enemy of spiritual worship it is an enemy of carnal worship i found some stuff this week when you get into the bible the bible provides an understanding for you and i to operate in when we come to worship everybody say worship now let me break down two kinds of worship that you and i need to be aware of number one it is what i would call individual worship and the other is what i would call corporate worship everyone say individual worship everyone say corporate worship individual worship is how i worship god when i'm by myself what i do when nobody's looking corporate worship is who i am when i come to church and worship on sunday with you there i'll not be a disconnect between who i am in front of you and who i am in front of god when y'all ain't looking i'm not gonna get no help if you cuss people out monday through friday and then hinana yosaya on sunday you are not worshiping in spirit or truth you and i have got to understand god values what's going on internally much more than he does what's happening happening externally i need to find some witnesses in here when i say that kind of thing i'm not saying you got to have all your ducks in a row and you got to have all your mess handled when you come to church how many come to church and need a place in the service to get your heart right like today but what i am saying is if you don't worship in spirit and in truth you can't dance on top of stuff you ain't repented over and you can't act hypocritical and give god a shout of praise to make your neighbor think you're all right when on the inside you ain't laid the mess down on the altar that you've been carrying with you always god said keep your hallelujah if you're not going to repent of your nasty attitude [Applause] he started a worship revolution because in the old testament all it took was a priest to throw an animal upon the alternate but he said oh we're worshiping god and god said that's the problem you think that worship is sealed by the outward sign but worship is sealed by the circumcised heart and there are people listen to me very careful i'm trying to preach and teach in a way to bring understanding and revelation there is a reason why some people don't worship god when we worship god on sunday it has nothing to do with they don't like our style it has to do with the fact that their heart hadn't been circumcised and i don't have time to go into circumcision but let me suffice it to say this it is the spiritual sign it is the it see where circumcision meant two things number one it was the outward sign that you belong to god in the old testament but in the new testament it wasn't a circumcised body it was a circumcised heart that god was looking for because god's not just looking for an outward sign of circumcision he's looking for people who have cut the flesh from the spirit come on here and they walk by the spirit and not by the flesh and when you get in that place where you're not walking by the dictate of the flesh but you're walking according to the cadence of the holy ghost then that's when we really get to walk in this thing called the spirit and jesus starts a revolution by saying you can worship anywhere at any time but i want to make sure you understand that you worship in spirit and in truth so we got people who say oh i want to worship in the spirit and we got other people who say i want to worship in truth and so we have we have charismatic worship and liturgical vision oh y'all don't like this those conversations have bred discussions like contemporary worship and traditional worship and so we come to church and we listen we literally categorize churches based on the kind of songs they say i'm going somewhere today i had never been before you cannot be so shallow spiritually that you choose whether or not you will enter a moment of worship based on whether or not you like a song and the way it's being sung because what you're telling me is you are more you are more um caught up in style than you are in substance because listen to me while i believe music is a very important part of worship i'm getting ready to show you that what we sing while we worship and what we say in our worship is really what is important about our worship other than the fact that what i just preached and that is the posture of your heart now if our heart is pure and and and if we are walking in the light john would call it as he is in the light if we have fellowship with god and there isn't this repetitious habitual sin in our life and yes i said repetitious habitual sin because if you are walking in repetitious habitual sin then you need to come to an altar today and repent and get your heart right you say well brother wallace grace covers it all grace is not a license for me to act like a fool and keep saying i'm all right because i'm in grace grace according to titus 2 empowers me and teaches me how to deny ungodly things and walk in holiness and righteous why am i not getting no help on this i need some people to understand god is not just sending jesus to save us and put a band-aid on our mess he's transforming us and making all things new my appetites have changed my desires have changed how i feel about my sin when i sin has changed i used to sin and thought i'm gonna do some more sin so i can see how much i enjoy sin but now that jesus has come into my heart when i sin i get sick about my sin i don't want my sin i hate my sin and i run back to calvary and let him wash my sin and make me i want to be right before god [Applause] and when we come to worship on sunday morning corporately there's something powerful happening among us and if you're right then you usually are able to enter into that corporate moment of worship and give god praise if your heart ain't right it may take some time for you to get under something called we call conviction how much time that okay i got plenty of time conviction is when you feel that feeling in your soul that you ain't got all your ducks in a row conviction is to your soul what pain is to your body it is an indicator that something is wrong if you don't feel pain in your body you can walk down the street barefoot cut your foot on a jagged rock and bleed to death if you don't feel pain and if you don't feel conviction you can sin sin sin and get so far away from god and your heart get poisoned by iniquity till you can come to church and sit here and not feel him at all and i'm telling you today conviction is the greatest gift a sinner ever had if you're in here today and you've been sinning and you feel some kind of way and you gotta oh and you got oh you just feel so bad and you feel so heavy and you know your mouth is out of control and you know your lust is out of control and you know your your physical flesh is out of control and you're just feeling all beat up and the devil putting shame on you i came to tell you that feeling is where we're going to start and god is going to use that feeling to get you in an altar and he's going to wash you and before you get in that car and head to the piglet wiggly he's going to give you new life and forgive you of every sin and wash you and make you new today [Applause] when we come in here on sunday and and individually we're right we can enter into corporate worship when we're not right it takes a moment conviction comes we start repenting lord cleanse me make me new wash me i did it i'm guilty forgive me lord when's the last time you asked god to forgive you for some sins don't answer no it's a rhetorical question well i don't sin you need to repent for being a liar [Applause] i didn't say that john said it he said if you say you have no sin you're lying the truth ain't in you so when we come into worship on sundays listen to me here's my point my point is you can't come into a worship service and get the most out of it if individually and between you and god you haven't gotten your heart right and worshiped him monday through saturday otherwise it's a show so i'm going to teach the rest of this message under the assumption that we're all coming to church with right hearts i am going to teach that way i'm going i'm going to teach under the assumption that we're all living right and we're all speaking holier and we're all living our best for jesus if that is the case when we come to church i want to talk about worshiping corporately in spirit and in truth is that okay that was all the introduction and it's longer than the rest of the message okay when we come to church corporately scripture is not two things it is not our enemy and it is not our ceiling write notes down take it it's not our enemy because some people say see scripture as an enemy to spirit worship in other words this is what i mean by that well you know y'all y'all just so bible focused on your worship and and we believe in freedom of expression you got to be careful you don't get so free you get unscriptural [Music] [Applause] nada better by who started a fire but the bible called it a strange fire you just want to be careful that you don't start no flesh fire now now let me say this but i i asked the lord to give me grace to be so right down the middle today i would rather have to calm people down than to resurrect ezekiel's valley of dry bones every sunday if i'm going to air it will be on the side of excitement well why would you err on the side of excitement because many people are erring on the side of death and i believe that god is alive and i'd rather have to put out wildfire than to have no fire but i will put out wildfire and and sometimes people just get excited and sometimes people don't know and then sometimes people go beyond excited and they make worship about them i want to make sure everybody in here hears what i'm saying taking notes if you're if you're if you're recording something write this down we did not come to see you if you came to be seen you missed the memo and it don't even take people with a gift of discernment to know when it's happening i've seen some people who've been saved a week who could look at something that was happening and say i don't feel right but there's a reason why i don't feel right it ain't right when we come to church here's the most important thing you can do in your worship make sure the object of your worship is god how do i know i'm worshiping in spirit and in truth pastor you know you're worshiping in spirit and in truth when you got the right audience i want to make sure that we understand corporate worship is always about jesus it all points to him it all goes back to jesus our worship is not about us showing other people how we worship our worship as a church is not about our reputation as a worshipping church i don't worship so that people say oh that's a worshipping church i want them to say that's a worshipping church when we don't even know they're looking and we're lost in an altar with tears coming down our face and hands lifted up and dancing bunions on the bottom of our feet because we can't help but tell him how much we love him worship in spirit and in truth this revolution jesus started starts in the heart but something powerful happens when we come together in worship something powerful happens when you and i come together in this house and begin to worship god and scripture and spirit do not conflict or collide when it comes to worship worshiping in spirit is as important as worshipping in truth worshiping and truth is as important in worshiping in the spirit the two are not mutually exclusive you can't do one without doing it in the other this is truth i don't know how long it was ago i had to talk with with tobin and and not because anything we just talk about the worship about theology of worship i get real nervous with all of the songs being written in worship land and none of them have the name of jesus none of them have scriptures all of them are about me devon gets more out with me when she comes in my office at home and i'm studying she goes that is an 80s song that is a 90s song i say yes but i can't find one in 2021 that says it like that there are some i'm sure we sang them this morning i don't ever want us to make worship about a thing other than jesus i don't want worship to be what we call style do you know how many people couldn't worship this morning because the lights were on what are those lights [Applause] and one of our light guys couldn't make it this morning we got sick so they had to turn the lights on and no one was there to swirl us into the glory what are you worshiping when you come to church what did you come for open your bible to revelation chapter 4. revelation 4 after these things i looked and behold a door standing open in heaven and the first voice i heard was like a trumpet speaking to me saying come up here john i will show you things which must take place after this immediately i was in the spirit and behold i was in the spirit i was in the what the spirit and what did i see a throne now read the rest of revelation 4 not now later it talks about thundering lightning jasper sardius stone beautiful images powerful images it's it's not a pepto-bismol pink throne room with a picture of jesus tattooed to the baptistry and a home interior picture in the lobby and mauve carpet with blue pews and that's what the throne room looked like there was flashes of lightning there was rolls of thunder there was color and rainbow and sardia stone and somebody would say how distracting all of these colors all of these flashes all of these lights on sunday all the twirling and the smoke they're trying to reproduce the glory how ignorant i'm sorry i shouldn't have said it but some of y'all said it it's crazy how distract that's what i've heard people tell us how distracting do you know how you can have a whole fourth chapter of revelation talking about lights thundering lightning colors rainbows a sea of glass and no one's getting distracted you know how cause john wasn't in the flesh john was in the spirit and the first thing he saw is the last thing he talked about the throne and the one sitting i feel like preaching right here when you come in this house in the spirit the first thing you see is the throne and the last thing you see before you leave i feel like preaching is the throne with the one sitting on it i did not come for the lights i did not come for the smoke i came for the one that's on the throne if i ever see him the rest doesn't even matter slap your neighbor tell your neighbor get in the spirit [Applause] i'm so distracted you're not distracted you've got a micro idea of the lamb if you ever see him on the throne nothing else matters the lights can break down the music may not come through but if i ever see the one that's on the throne the last thing i know is that the one on the throne is the one that is the most important thing in the building [Applause] touch three people tell them i didn't come for you tell them i came for the man on the throne hey i didn't come for your song i didn't come for your special i didn't come for your ad-lib i didn't come for your prophetics i came for the one that is on the [Applause] distracted people are those who refuse to look at the one on the throne i taught this several months ago remember those angels over in isaiah chapter six the bible said they had six wings but two they flew with two they covered their feet and with two that covered their eyes why would they cover their eyes because they did not want to become distracted because they're not flying for the people in the room they're flying for the one who is holy holy holy get your eyes on him and i'm gonna tell you how to do it and be better at it spend some time with him monday through friday [Applause] oh yes because if you will spend some time with him monday through saturday you won't have to wait so long wasting so much time trying to find him when you come in the building oh in fact worshipers know how to locate him i'm getting ready to praise him right here i said worshipers learned how to locate him it don't take me long to find him in fact i just have to pick up on the second verse on sunday morning of the same song i was singing all day long yesterday i don't need nobody to sing me a song i need you to get out of my way so i can find the one that is on the throne i feel like calling him worthy i feel like calling him holy hold it hold it he caught my shot it's the lord god almighty [Applause] i'm gonna teach i'm not doing this i'm gonna teach look at this here colossians three i'm gonna give you some truth with the spirit we're going home colossians 3 verse 15. chad read my mind never mind i gave him the list earlier watch let the peace of god rule in your hearts to which also you were called in one body and be thankful next verse let the word of christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom don't miss what i'm getting ready to teach you teaching and admonishing one another wait a minute wait a minute what we gonna have some teaching today the preacher gonna get up and open up the bible and he's gonna teach that's wonderful but when we start singing lessons are being learned read the text teach and admonish one another in songs hymns and spiritual songs when you start singing psalms hymns and spiritual songs you literally start teaching lessons the word admonishes in the he in the greek is very interesting it means to help someone call to mind help them to remember how many ever forgot something until somebody was like pastor tobin pastor jojo they see somebody up on they started singing and they sang something that reminded you it happened this morning for me i've been dealing with some stuff and and sometimes you go through stuff and you know you're the pastor you're supposed to be spiritual and sometimes you've got to tell your soul to be quiet well i'm you know i'm just walking in today and i'm thankful for all the goodness of god and i got my praise on i'm ready to go i'm ready to preach but on the inside i just got some a little bit a little bit turbulence going on and lacy started singing and she made me mad she said hush i said okay hush sometimes when you don't get to sing in the song it'll convict you and it will teach you and remind you oh my shy some of you forget the goodness of god until you start singing love you are good at your mercy and do it for it forever come on get up off of that thing lord you are good mercy endure before keeping it real i am keeping it real sometimes you forget a song being sung by you teaches us and reminds us of the truth of god's word let me say something right now tobin jojo tori mateo oh y'all stand up where are the rest of the worship people at singers who had a microphone stand up lacie stand up please who else don't lie i'll come out there where y'all at okay y'all see these people standing okay y'all sit down come back here listen to me very carefully they were not hired to do your singing this is the disease in the 21st century church we come to a worship service and we watch people worship jesus for us because god knows many people haven't had an encounter with him in the last 300 years and don't know how to worship him because they haven't found him monday through saturday i am calling this house out of a out of a consumerism approach to worship and i am telling you put on the garment of praise and get rid of a spirit of heaviness you and i are not called to come into this house and to sit there like a bunch of mummies while people sing on a stage and help us praise the lord nobody knows like you what god has done though [Applause] let me go up here i have a few minutes how do you know if it is carnal worship tests of worship corporate worship checkup that's what i put signs of carnal worship okay here we go this is not meant to praise shame or worship shame anybody i'm just putting it out there for you if you can sing a lie it's carnal worship here we go i lift up my hands and you're sitting there like this you're singing alive tori up here sweating and screaming and when i move my body when i move my feet and if i were to come up and investigate and ask and interrogate why why don't you just move something you would say this you would say this and i would too if if cause i used to be locked up like that i would say it's just not my personality but you let the vols beat the gators you will shake the double wide [Applause] people will call the law on you and your house because you do get excited about some things it's just you haven't figured out yet the power of getting excited about eternal things and there are some people who would peek in on this service this morning you might even be sitting in this congregation today thinking that we've lost our mind because we cry and we throw up our hands and we sing off pitch and out of tune and we dance and don't even have any rhythm and you may say that is just a bunch of excitement ding you are right except that you are wrong in that understanding we are excited about all the right things i don't shout because i'm ignorant i don't shout because of what i don't know i shundable hoshi i shout because of what i do know i know that the tomb is empty i know that my sins are forgiven i know that the blood has made a way and because i know this i will bless the lord at all [Applause] touch three people tell him i know something i know that he healed my children i know that it touched my life i know that the anointing breaks the yoke i'm not shouting because of what i don't know i'm shouting because of what i do know i know i'm on my way to heaven i know jesus is coming soon and i know i'm ready to meet the lord somebody give him 20 seconds to pray yes i said somebody give him worship in spirit [Applause] sing psalms i'm closing hymns and spiritual songs look over here at ephesians chapter five i'm closing with this one ephesians five we always quote this scripture but let me show you the context we talk about the holy ghost how many love the holy spirit be not keep me there brian oh no i feel like singing and preaching on sunday be not drunk with wine where it is access but be filled with the spirit you better be careful when you get filled with the holy spirit you might look drunk hell y'all don't like this one but when the church was born in acts chapter 2 they were not confused because they looked sophisticated they were confused because they look like a bunch of drunk stumbling preachers who come up out of an upper room in the street but the reason they look drunk is because they were under an influence it wasn't budweiser because some of y'all can drink blood but you ain't getting any wiser it was the holy ghost and when the holy ghost fills your soul sometimes you forget about who's standing next to you and you don't worry about your mascara running all you know is that you've been looking for joy and now he's satisfied the unknown [Applause] the bible said sing watch this watch this be not drunk with his wire and his excess but be filled with the spirit how come out here speaking to one another in psalms hear spiritual songs singing making a melody let me help you understand something about making a melody when you make a melody your neighbor may not think it sounds good but they don't get to write your melody if you ever start singing and got your eyes closed and open them long enough to peek at your neighbor if they're looking at you like [Applause] just look at them and say girl you couldn't possibly understand why i'm singing off pitch i'm just glad i'm not dead that i'm alive oh i'm just thankful i'm still here yes i
