store for you if you've been working with us this past few sundays we have been learning many things we have grown in so many ways matured and been strengthened in many different ways by different bishops from different churches while we have handled ourselves and handled situations and all circumstances we have been strengthened to even face them with our heads held high so this day i want you to remember one thing that god is our shield and our glory and the lifter of our heads meditate on that it's psalms 3 verse 3 that is our shield our glory the lifter of our health is the one who keeps us whether the shame coming whether there is affliction coming you can stand with your health they'll die that you have you're not worried that things will break you things will hurt you things will kill you you're standing high even if you're being hurt because you know god is your glory and the lifter of your head so thank you for joining please meditate as i always ask you in this moment just before the service begins spend a few minutes in prayer spend a few minutes opening your heart spend a few minutes releasing yourself of the things of this world setting your mind fixing your eyes on the things above setting your mind on him fixing your focus on him who matters most set your moment around around your moment of intimacy with the father a moment of intimacy with your groom the one who actually watches over our souls the one who takes care of us through all circumstances said that surrounding your environment in that space set your heart right set your physical space right remove every kind of noise whether it be machines or items that are too colorful or too many things that are in your face try to find a quiet space a space that is used to you and him and allow yourself to melt in his presence allow intimacy in that moment and you will be blessed this day again we have been going through a season of learning through a season of growing a season of maturing and while we are here we look forward to the next next next season i may say next level that there is always a season that comes and ends and now we go to the next level and we are grateful that the bishops who came to answer a call from god not a call of their own hearts are called of their own flesh are called from god that by the spirit of god they came and they spoke and they strengthened the church and then last week bishop atagitanga coming bishop jim are first coming to speak some powerful prophecies of us as individuals as members and as the church as a whole as house of grace as a whole then him speaking that and then transcending that to come and bishop kitunga speaking an anointing over the church over the people such that we know anyone who even walks in these gates is healed we believe it by faith that it is done i look forward to hearing the testimony of people who walk through that gate and come in healed so thank you thank you for joining thank you i'm really grateful that you're with us that you are partaker of this ministry because it is because you are partake of this ministry that you will be a partaker of the blessing that comes with this ministry so

amen uh when people are clapping you should clap i said there are people who graduated from university and we congratulate them you know uh a while ago i taught you that the early church used to do everything in unison uh if it was praising the word praise because there's always power in unison you understand what i'm saying if people are clapping if everybody's clapping then there's also power in the club if people are saying amen there's power in the amen so the bible says they were in one accord when i was in college we used to say they were in a honda accord all right so so we want to appreciate all those who grab you the reason why you appreciate them is because you know to graduate you have to burn the midnight oil amen you have to work hard to graduate and not just graduate i understand we have a first class honors distinction amen first class honest distinction i mean to get that that is if you are marked properly by the professors that's if you are marked properly let me tell you it's a lot of work so let's appreciate vivian who graduated with the first class amen and all of you who have graduated will celebrate you amen and even if you got an honest and degree when you didn't do anything it's okay praise the lord amen but somebody saw the work that you did and they thought that you deserve an honors degree but this ones that i'm appreciating this morning are those who have really worked hard and uh you know gone to class uh morning to evening some of them took four years uh in kenya takes four years uh to graduate to the ba a bachelor's agreement not a born-again but a bachelor's so it takes four years so we appreciate all of those amen and amen i don't know if they're here could they be here so we can see them particularly vivian i don't know who vivian is first class degree my friend are you crazy how could you have got a faster fast class in what can you can i have a microphone please please come and tell us first class you know when people

bless you bless you bless you bless you bless you may god smile upon you may god reward you for your faithfulness may god prove that he is no man's debtor hallelujah come on give them a big one hallelujah amen amen amen well house of grace is time to worship god without giving amen giving time is always blessing time the bible is a bible that teaches about giving salvation is about giving for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son life is about giving and receiving and so this is a wonderful opportunity to give back to god what belongs to god and to keep what keeps to you don't eat what belongs to god no wonder the bible says in the book of malachi you are cast with a curse it's a double cast because you ate what was god in fact he says can a man rob god can a man think that he can con god cheat on god lie on god and god says nay you cannot rob god and so this moment i want to just uh open the altar to you you are the high priest when it comes to giving you are the one who says god i don't just present what you've given me but i present myself first and so this morning we want to worship god with our giving and as i speak i hope you're preparing a good offering or tithe or thanksgiving whatever it is uh and uh give it and offer it to god the bible says the book of hebrews chapter five that we the priests receive offerings it is us who are supposed to receive offerings so i want to call on this holy assembly of god as a priest and ask you to prepare your offerings unto god so that god may receive them even as we receive them down here says the scriptures let us pray father in the name of jesus we thank you we bless you i thank you king of glory for your god oh god i pray lord even as we come to present not just the gifts you've given us but presenting ourselves i pray that lord god almighty that you'll receive us father god i pray lord that it will be pleasing unto thee like a sweet offering sweet aroma arising unto thee father open the windows of heaven even as you have promised and pour down a blessing we are ready oh god for your blessings we are ready oh god for the blessings that make rich and add no sorrow thank you father we give you praise and glory in jesus name somebody shout a big amen and amen the ashes will come and wait upon you if you're giving by impeachment the number is on the screen if you're giving by tear we even have the pdq machines whatever form if you're writing a check write it to house of grace and god is richly going to bless you amen and as you worship god with your giving will receive ministry in song by the praise of worshipped [Music] is [Music] is [Music] i am a victorian [Music] i am [Music] my healing lord my deliverance is [Music] is [Music] i am [Music] i am not afraid because it's by

the overcomers [Music] amen god bless you praise and worship to him amen let's appreciate them one more time bless the lord i want you to remain standing briefly for the reading of god's word this morning my text has found the book of psalm chapter 3. the book of psalms chapter 3 from verse 1. the bible says lord how they have increased so troubled me many are they who rise up against me many of you who say of me there's no help for him in god sealer that means think about it every time you come across the word sealer it means that you should not proceed reading the scriptures until you think about it but you o lord are a shield for me my glory and the one who lifts my head i cried to the lord with my voice and he heard me from his holy heel silla think about it again i laid down and i slept i'll walk for the lord sustained me i will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around arise o lord save me oh my god for you have struck all my enemies on the chick bone you have broken the teeth of the ungodly salvation belongs to the lord your blessing is upon your people sealer father in heaven thank you for the reading of your word this morning we come before your god speak to us encourage us thank you father give me the addiction give me the anointing give me the the revelation from the scripture to be able to be to pour it out to your people this morning ably oh god thank you father may heaven rejoice lord may i be your mouthpiece and may demons tremble in jesus name somebody say amen you may be seated in the presence of the lord i come to you this morning with some sort of hint or window that is open that some of you have been really under serious spiritual satanic or even physical attack it may not even be spiritual it may not be physical but it could be also an emotional attack that you could be going through it's an attack that can come to you in such a way that makes you feel so lonely sometimes feel dejected and rejected because you know jesus christ speaking to us in the book of john say that in this world you'll have many tribulations tribulations actually are translated as a tax that acts in the old testament the attacks used to be physical you would see bows and arrows and you would see soldiers coming up against each other you'll see the amorites and the ammonites coming up against each other you'll see the philistines coming and you'll see goliath coming to represent the household of the philistines and they would war in such a way it was representative that goliath would stand up in front of and he would say choose a man and the man that you chose to represent you if he was defeated the entire army would be defeated so goliath would represent the entire philistine community or ethnicity and it was representative and you could see it physically you would see the valley you would see the the soldiers you would see the artillery but in today's world you don't see it physically today's world it is spiritual you can't see it with your naked eyes and so sometimes if you're not really astute and keen to spiritual things by the time you realize that you are under up serious attack it could be too late because you don't see physique i wish it was physical i wish that it could be a war that we are fighting that we can see the military and we can see the garrisons coming up and we can see guys in uniforms come but it's not it is spiritual so the bible says that we wrestle not against blood and flesh but we wrestle against principalities and powers in high places but it goes on to say that we've got weapons somebody say we've got weapons now you have to be ready for me this morning amen so i feel that uh a lot of us have been under physical attacks uh spiritual attacks it could be an emotional attack that you could be going through but then i want to hasten to say that the devil does not fight empty vessels somebody say hey man yeah yeah yeah yeah the moment that you are up under attacker it means there is something that you carry it means there is an anointing that you carry it means there is potential that maybe the devil sees that you yourself are not able to see you know i have been learning i've been learning of late that you could be somebody and people you yourself don't know you're somebody oh god may god give you a revelation of who you are now this is not part of my message but i'm just throwing that in amen i pray that god gives you a revelation of who you are hey can i hear you came to church is it you came to church look at the numbers you came to church so let's communicate because i think this is so important because for you to live life and not being able to realize who you are and then you have to wait for you to die and you can't hear the accolades that are being spoken over you and you're dead i think it's really a total mess i i'm sometimes i go to funerals and i wonder i wish that person was dead could hear what people are talking about i just wish those people could wake up for two seconds only and hear what people are saying about him or how he was dead because when they were leaving they didn't even hear a quarter of what was being said when they were alive so i pray that you don't have to wait until you die to realize who you are amen i pray that you realize who you are because the devil does not throw stones on trees that have got no fruit so every time the devil is throwing in howling stones at you you have to understand that there is something you carry look at your neighbor and tell them you have potential oh come on come on come on come on come on come on come on you have to be with me this morning tell them you have potential you could be having potential that you don't even know about you could be having potent i i personally work best under pressure me i work best under pressure uh i don't know how god framed me and how god made me uh but i work best under pressure myself uh if you want to see me just put me under pressure i mean if you put me under pressure then i will i'd remember the days i used to preach in crusades and waterview and when you're preaching open-air meetings it can be so rough and tough sometimes the equipment don't work sometimes the speakers blow out you know and i would be the one preaching you know after speakers are blown out generators of wires have been cut out some people would go and cut our wires if we go to a territory that is not christian friendly and those are the days that i used to i mean those are the times rather that i come out because i could preach even without a microphone but let me tell you after i finished i would be i would make sure i make up for all our faults i would make up for all our faults i mean people would end up forgetting that the generator didn't work people would end up forgetting that the speakers blew out you know being open air i did open air for years so i am not uh i just you know somebody who's starting out on this you understand what i'm saying i've been in this work for a while so you got potential and the reason one of the things that shows that you've got potential is the attacks that are leveled at you and i want to hasten to say this the level of attack actually is in keeping with the level of your potential the level of attack is in keeping with the level of your potential so if you're up under attack at the moment and you feel like the attack is so heavy can i tell you that god sometimes has to weigh that attack before he releases it on you that's what the bible teaches that god has to weigh it fast somebody said way he has to wait so in such a way that it's not going to overwhelm you god knows that you're capable of it god knows that you've got the potential for it god knows that you've got steel in you for it so the devil does not attack empty vessels the uh yeah yeah yeah let me tell you even if i was the devil i will not waste my time attacking people or not going anywhere there's too much people in the world and the devil is one the devil is not humbly present he could be in china now the devil is not everywhere now this is something that christians need to understand because sometimes you feel the devil is everywhere the devil is not everywhere look at your neighbor the devil is not god he's not everywhere the devil cannot be in china and in kenya at the same time demons can be in kenya some demons can be because there are many demons that fell with him if you read the scripture you understand me but the devil cannot be everywhere he's not only present one of the qualities that the devil doesn't have is that he's not only present god is only present means that he's present everywhere when you go up country god is there when you're driving god is there as you leave the church and go to your home god is there as you go to that marriage where you're feeling like what is happening god so you don't leave god in house of grace you thought you came to find god here god was waiting for you telling you welcome to church and as you leave he's going to be walking with you as you go to your house it's going to be in your house as you get into your car he's omnipresent he sits on the earth god up under attack well the scripture before us is written by none other than david the son david was not johnny come lately david was not a jerry back kind of person david was not a boy with pink gloves david was not one of this uh fly-by-night people david david uh was a man of the god's own heart says the scripture david was not even picked by god because he could sing because david could sing until demons would fly out can you imagine uh saul would be tormented by devils and the only person that could be called in the court was the anointed david david would play the harper until devils left saul uh saul would return to normalcy and would continue with the affairs of the states as a result of the anointing that rested upon this boy called david david was a mighty guy david says teach my fingers to war david would pray strengthen my hands for battle david was a mighty man of god oh yeah david loved god so much that god from the particles of heaven would look down and he would say i have found me a man who is after my heart that does not mean that david was perfect that doesn't mean that david was sinless but david with all his faults and shortcomings of god still looks at him and says i have found me a man who is after my heart a man that would do the will of god regardless of his shortcomings and many blunders that he did and by the way sometimes i really wonder how god operates because when you hear when you read the story of david and the story of saul saul didn't even come close to what david did song when i go to heaven one of the questions the one who asked god is why were you so hard on saul and i think i have the answer the answer was david did not disobey god saul did david made his mistakes as a human being with uriah and all the other things that he did and the blunders that he did those are mistakes of a human being there's a difference between making a mistake as a human being and disobeying god for saul was told go and clear everything including the king again all the fat cows and the fat sheep and he went there found the fat sheep cows and decided i will not kill this a simple disobedience moment that costed him his kinship completely and totally david what a man david would kill a hundred philistines with his hands david threw their foreskins before the king saw when saul thought that he was setting him up so that he can be killed oh my god you cannot kill an anointed man somebody say amen oh come on somebody you cannot destroy somebody who is anointed you can form the weapons you can try to do it but you cannot bring down somebody who is anointed of jehovah god so soul thought by setting up david and saying if you go and kill a hundred philistines i'll give you my daughter let me tell you anointed people walk where nobody else can walk and knowing that people walk through the fire when the fire cannot bundle anointed people walk through the water and the water cannot overflow them now you will pass through things and go through issues and people will wonder how did you make it you will look back and tell them it was jehovah god and the anointing of god david was an amazing man david oh god david wrote the psalms and that in the times that he had three hours that he heard from the sheep he would just just uh write psalms after some after some expressing his life experiences he expressed his tough times he expressed his shortcomings he expressed his love for god all you need to do is to go through the psalm one by one and see the kind of man we're talking about this morning what a man was david the psalmist the servant of god david is only one who has got three offices david actually has been told to have the office of the priests the prophet and the king he imbibed embraced all the three offices the king the prophet and the king prophesying actually and pointing towards the messiah that would come jesus christ who would come in the line and in the order of king david who would be jesus christ who will end up being the priests the prophet and the king so david is a typology okay like that of the jesus that would come david has fought bears has fought lions has fought goliath and the devil knows that hey i still must get david for david has escaped the lion he has escaped the bear he has escaped the goliath we thought goliath would take him out goliath did not take out david we thought the lions would eat him and tear him apart the lions did not take him apart in fact he took away the lion apart and so now the devil knows what is going to get him i want you to look at your neighbor and tell them the devil knows what is going to get you come on come on come on come on come on come on tell them the devil knows yeah you may have escaped the goliath you may have escaped the lion you may have escaped the dangers and the vicissitudes in the wilderness but the devil still knows what is going to get you the devil knows where to touch you the devil knows where it hurts he knows where it hurts and that's why i came this morning to speak to somebody because the devil knows the right button to press where it will touch you so this time round what happens is the devil comes through absalom to his son absalom gets to a place where he thinks he's more morally upright than his father absalom get to a place where he feels that he is uh more uh of what is the word to use and practice for the right word uh more qualified to be the king than the father and so absalom begins to rebel against the father thinking that he's more morally correct and more morally upright than the father and he believes that now he should be the king and he believes that now he should overthrow his father now he believes that his father his time is up and he begins to rebel against his father his father was so torn apart when his own son began to rebel against him and his father began to cry because his father knows i can take this boy out in a second i am i know war i know how to fight if it was not my son i would have cut his neck and thrown his head to the dogs but this is my son how do i even begin to deal with my son this is my son i cannot touch him oh david begins to wish i wish he's a philistine i wish he's an ammonite i wish she's an uh uh this uh benjaminites and what have you this kind of people that have been fighting him up and he says he begins to wonder ammonites amorites and all the arab he begins to i wish that one of them but it's not one of this is my son so that brings you to the sun that we just read about that the mighty man who knew battle begins to write and says how they have increased that trouble me trouble on the left and right the front and the back family and friends all have gunned up against me and the mighty man of god began to wonder and to say they have increased the trouble me they have become more trouble me my family has also joined the gang of troubling me and he begins to feel like a failure he begins to feel like he has lost it he begins to feel like well the world is coming to an end he begins to feel like you know there is no one on his side he begins to feel like there's nobody supporting him he begins to feel lonely and he begins to say in verse one they have increased trouble me i don't know if i am speaking to somebody who feels like you've got more enemies than friends i don't know if i came to speak to somebody this morning who feels that the people who trouble you have increased in number and you feel lonely and you feel hopeless and you feel like there's no direction because the people who trouble you are more and you're looking so lonely you mean you look at your phone and you try to call somebody you even wonder whether you should call them or not because you feel like david this morning and you say they have increased those but trouble me and you never get to know who you really are until you get into let me rephrase this you never really get to know who is with you until you get into trouble [Laughter] oh my god i have come to appreciate calamity and adversity because when you're in calamity and adversity it shows the true colors of the people around you it shows who they are made of it shows whether they love you for who you are or they love you for what you do or they love you for your title i mean sometimes you know when you go through adversity you don't want adversity but let me tell you this morning the lessons you learn through adversity you cannot exchange them with anything so david says they have increased could i be talking to somebody this morning who feels lonely ah could i be a a person who has been sent this morning to speak to somebody who feels like the world is collapsing under them because as they look on the left and there's a look on the right they look in the front they don't see light on the end of the tunnel and they're seeing uh problems and issues and enemies and people coming up to devour you so he says in verse 1 how they have increased troubled me now i don't mind trouble look at the neighbor say don't mind trouble uh tell them again tell them to like you really feel tell them don't don't mind trouble the issue about this issue about trouble is that it was not just trouble i wish it was just trouble but they began to talk about the trouble they said the trouble is so much for this man that even god cannot help him can you imagine i mean they said that this man is in so much trouble that even god is it in the bible cannot help him now it's one thing when the trouble is contained in your home hello when nobody knows about your trouble it's another thing when the trouble is out of the door it's another thing when people are talking and they're not talking good about it they are saying how even your god cannot get you out of that trouble the trouble is so much for him that even his god cannot help him kai jesus how dare you say that i am in so much trouble that even god and some of your relatives are saying exactly what i'm saying this morning some of your friends are saying exactly what i'm telling you this morning they think you're in so much trouble so much a mess that even god that you pray to even god that you go to church and worship on sunday cannot get you out of that trouble oh so they began to talk and i don't mind i said being in trouble but i mind when people that love you begin to say that even your god how dare you bring my god in my mess how dare oh come on can i preach like i feel like how dare you bring my jehovah god the omnipotent the all-powerful jehovah god into my mess and don't you confuse my god with me god is el shaddai god is jehovah god can you say even my god even his god cannot help him and he began to talk and to gossip and to mummer how god cannot even help his servant thought that his servant is dead and messed up and finished thought yes he could have escaped the pair he could have escaped the lion he could have escaped the goliath but this one he cannot escape look at your neighbor and tell him the devil is a liar hallelujah you've got to be in the spirit with me in this message yeah you have to wake up with me in this message look at the other one and tell them the devil is a liar oh glory to god by the time i'm done with this message all the devils will run out of your home by the time i'm down with this message all the demons will run out of your place of work by the time i'm down with this message the devil will be in his place that they can talk all they want to talk but that is just part one somebody said part one part two of my life is coming glory to god so they began to talk you can let them talk for a while you can let them have a party for a while let them talk and let them love let us see who's going to have the last laugh somebody say amen glory to god hallelujah what you're going through now is not what is going to define you oh that's a powerful point right there oh god actually that even god cannot help him and they had a field day and they began to talk and they began to be happy because there will be people who will be happy when you're in trouble there will be people who will be prophets when you are in trouble all of a sudden they'll begin to prophesy over your life and how you're messed up and how it's over and how your god cannot help you and how you will never amount to anything but tell that devil to go to hell because your god is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all they can think or imagine can you sorry man if you believe it i come to prophesy to people right now in the name of jesus the christ that god is going to lift you and do more than you can even think or imagine can you shout a man uh this is just part one of your life part two is coming up they can say all they want to say but they will be mesmerized they will be shocked at what god is able to do somebody give god some praise at the house [Applause] hallelujah hallelujah look at your neighbor and tell them don't define me with now i am going somewhere hallelujah i could have hit a pothole with my son but i am going somewhere i could have been surrounded by many hats but i am going somewhere look at someone and tell them my faith is taking me somewhere my faith in god is leading me somewhere my jehovah god holding my hand he's taking me somewhere i don't care what you could have been through but i came to tell somebody my faith in god is taking me somewhere hallelujah don't you define me with now i am going higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher [Applause] even this god cannot help and why they were talking somebody said while they were talking look at the other and say why they were talking something began to well up in the spirit of david oh glory to god and he said waste a minute glory to god today you're going to preach a lot with me so tell your neighbor wait a minute wait a minute he says but now oh lord i mean these people what are they saying what are they talking and everything that was built in the life of david began to well up in his spirit scriptures that he had when it was a good time began to well up because truly speaking if you're a true servant of the living god and i'm not talking about seven meaning that you're a preacher or you're a bishop if you're a christian that's what i mean if you're going through hard times the scriptures that were built in your spirit will begin to remind you of who you are and whose you are so he began to say my god as they began to talk something began to build in him and he began to say wait a minute i want you to look at somebody to wait a minute hey wait wait a minute girl jackie doggo gorja kidogo i think somebody should tell the devil godziki [Laughter] i told tell those old demons gorger hold a minute man my father used to say hold your horses hold your horses god jackie dog and scriptures began to well in the spirit of david david is a spiritual person yes does not mean that because you're spiritual don't go through hell in high water there's no because you're spiritual that you're going to be spared from attacks so he said wait he says but now you know what that means it means that you should not never ever let the devil have the last word don't you ever let the enemy have the last word hear what i'm saying this morning to you as your bishop the devil can say all he wants to say but you have to tell the devil wait a minute wait a minute and i feel like you need to prophesy to all your problems this morning even as i continue preaching to this this message tell your problems this morning wait a minute oh come on tell that devil wait a minute oh come on come on come on come on come on come on house of grace uh tell those financial crisis that you're going through wait a minute oh come on come on come on tell tell that the old devil wait a minute oh come on come on come on come i don't know why i came to prophesy to this morning tell her that eat your touch call the devil wait a minute you try to take me out you try to take my life out you try to take my money out you try to take my relationship out tell that old devil wait a minute you need to prophesy open your mouth and tell that devil wait i'm stop your nonsense yeah you eat you'd call the devil up stop your bishop are you are you abusing the devil idiot yes can go and report me idiot simply means uh you are not thinking right means you're stupid you're not using your head because if the devil was using his head before you attacked you would have known who you are before he thought of bringing you down he would have known who you are so that's why i'm calling him stupid because this battle has already been pre-arranged and we know who the winner is are you understanding what i'm saying it's like getting into a ring and they already told you you're the winner that's what happened when you became born again and began this life so i'm talking to winners can i hear bigger amen i said i'm talking to winners can i hear a bigger amen wait a minute he said lord but thou lord lord why am i going through this hair lord but thou o lord you are a shield for me i shield a shield means that you are covered a shield means that you are protected a shield is not a place to eat lunch or dinner a shield means that you are protected on all sides of chapter 15 verse 1 god speaking to abraham the father of faith says i shall be your shield i shall shield you on all corners and all left i will shield you cover you up but thou o lord and scriptures began to well up in the spirit of david and the first thing he says i am covered i want to remind you this morning you are covered by god i want to remind you this morning that you are covered because somebody say hey man i say you are covered by god i don't care the level of attacker i don't care what arsenal says he has prepared i came to tell you this morning you're covered by god hallelujah shout out bigger amen if i'm talking to you i don't care what yes i don't care what you're going through i don't care what you're saying i say you are covered by god [Music] hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah i say you're covered by god hallelujah even in your blunders and your mistakes in your everything that you're going through god still covers you he says you're my shield covert covered covered covered covered that means that they can throw anything you want to throw but you are covered that means they can throw the arrows into the shield and all of you but you are covered up that means they can throw the pangas and everything in the axes but you are covered up that means they can say all they are saying but you are covered up somebody said god hallelujah shield for me shut the rubber sticker in the night is my shield when my mother is not there he is my shield when my father is not there he is my shield when i don't have the kind of currency i need to please my shield when i don't have the dollars he's my shield as i drive is my shield as i sleep in his mouth so as i wake up in the morning jehovah god and i will go out he is my shield so throw your best shot devil throw your best shot he's my shield my glory my glory [Music] let him who glory glory in the lord let him know glory glory in the lord not in his education and degrees and everything let him move glory in the lord hallelujah some of us would have nothing to glory about but we glory in the lord this is some trust in horses some trust in charities but we shall trust in the name of the lord let him glory glory in the lord i don't know if i'm talking to somebody this morning you may not have come from a big family but let him who glory know that there's nothing else that you can glory about not your money not your suit not your house not your car but let them move glory oh yeah the psalmist began to say let him who glory glory in the lord glory in the lord it says lord you lifted my head and that lifting of the head would mean nothing if you've never gone through shame that lifting of the head would mean nothing if people have never embarrassed you that lifting of the head would mean nothing if you've never gone through sorrow if that lifting of the head would mean nothing if you've never gone through attack he said you lifted my head you lifted my head you don't know what that means until you've been crucified in the public like jesus naked and put on the cross and stretched wide with nothing like jesus shames on you and everybody's talking and he said you lifted my head it would mean nothing if you've never gone through shame it would mean nothing if you've never gone through dejection and rejection i have never known what shame is like i've known recently i've never known what jesus could have gone through like being hung naked for everybody to see his nakedness and so the psalmist said you're the only one who lifted my head it's my prayer this morning i don't finish this message i can continue with this message but i pray god lifts your head if you've been through shame if you've been through trials if you've been through hell and high water i pray god lifts your head i don't know what you're going through but i pray god lifts your head i pray god in heaven will lift your head i can go on with this message and on and on i can show you that after he has lifted your head he also crushed the teeth of the enemy left the enemy helpless the enemy cannot bite anymore his teeth has been removed he's a backing dog he cannot bite you no more because the teeth have been removed i come to tell you the peace of the enemy has been removed he cannot bite you anymore hallelujah he finishes the message by saying i will awaken i came to prophesy to people here god will make you to awake again god will make you to rise up again god will make you to stand up again he said i awoke from my sleep may you awake this morning in the name of jesus may you awake this morning in the name of jesus am i talking to somebody this one may you awake this morning somebody said amen from all the rubbish that was going on from all the criticism that was going on and when he thought he would not make it he still say that i awoke may somebody awake this morning in the name of jesus may somebody
