of those is his god we testified about it sunday morning but we also made history amen this past week um we uh the is god ministries amen where the came out came in on on instagram of the mcallen isd and so it's the first time that any organization or program has walked for suicidal prevention amen and so we made news and i just wanted to show you a quick video amen of this me and my wife lost our daughter at age of 13 and we want everybody to know to understand that suicide awareness is the cause out there is a big growing problem and we want them be aware that there's hope they're not alone and you want like sure we've been given out you're not alone there is people out there want to help you for suicide [Applause] personally is very important like trying to advise the parents like i mean the suicide house there exists it's a lot of help for others like get together uh talk about what we're thinking why are we feeling with a lot of people they doing the same thing they feeling the same thing they have in the same house and there's a lot of teenagers and the parents they're suffering from the same thing [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] amen we are so proud amen of our ministries amen and the impact especially that is god is making you would think that this is something that the schools are being flooded with and when you hear that this is rare or it's the first time it's been done it's shocking amen with the amount of people that are on anti-depressants and that are suffering amen from mental illnesses today which um i read an article that 62 percent of people that suffer from mental illnesses are youth from the ages of 13 to the ages of 24. and so here we have a couple from experience is able to minister amena and we're believing god for great great things amen we are part of something great can you say amen hallelujah our church has three ministries that goes out to the community and that is rare amen it's rare for churches to reach out they want you to just come and be a part and now they don't even want you to come they just want you to be part of their live stream but regardless we're so blessed amen let's have the ushers come forward as we receive the evening's offering amen this is uh the love offering amen for pastor stacy dillard um one of the things that i love being a part of that's uh in our church is the fasting group letter and i'm not sure if you take time to read these these are very very well done and so if you are part of that group you will get one of these on the first and every wednesday i believe and i believe also that it's daniel ovalle and beto that put these messages together they take turns or something like that there might be others amen but that's all i've heard today's was outstanding amen i want to read you a little part of it amen it's called denying yourself freeze yourself denying yourself freeze yourself it says a famous burger chain came up with one of the wittiest catch phrases ever and you've heard it before i'm sure have it your way one of the quickest and easiest ways to forget about god is to be consumed with self it says jesus had pretty direct words for those who wanted to follow him he said whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me it says god wants us to have it his way and he's not talking about extra meat hold and hold the lettuce amen one of the things about becoming a christian is that you quickly begin to realize that it's not really about us it's about god's will and doing things god's way amen if it was up to us amen then we would have it our way always could you imagine if you always had your way you say oh that would be awesome no it wouldn't it really wouldn't amen listen to john 12 20-26 it says now there were certain greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast they were on the way to the passover they're going to make sacrifices remember they're bringing lambs and some of these people are poor they're they're coming uh bringing amen their best verse 21 then they came to philip who was from bethesda of galilee and asked him saying sir we wish to see jesus philip came and told andrew and in turn andrew and philip told jesus but jesus answered them saying the hour has come that the son of man should be glorified most assuredly i say to you unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies it remains alone but if it dies it produces much fruit or much grain i don't know about you but i need to produce much grain then verse 25 says he who loves his life will lose it and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life if anyone serves me let him follow me and where i am there my servant will be also if anyone serves me him my father will honor god says if we honor that if we honor him amen that he will honor us one of the ways that we honor god especially in our fellowship is by being a blessing amen to visiting preachers and pastor stacy dillard is just not a preacher but he's also a friend he's a good friend of mine but he's also a good friend of the mcallen church matter of fact he's a good friend of the whole fellowship everybody knows pastor daler amen everybody say you got pastor dillard oh my gosh and he's a major blessing to our fellowship amen a major blessing to anybody that knows him but he brings the word of god amen he blesses people with his presence he blesses people with his ministry and that is a gift that god has given him i know many evangelists and they don't all have that gift that's god's grace on his life and i've been taught that when you see that you attach your finances to that amen that you do it god's way and you say god tomorrow i wanted to go to starbucks but you know what instead of having a double meat i'm gonna have it your way amen and if you can afford both to bless the man of god and go to starbucks then praise the loyal to you amen that is a good thing you know what that tells me if you can do that that tells me that you've been sowing for years and as a result you have reproduced you are today enjoying what you sold years back and my question to you tonight is not are you blessed today but according to today's offering will you be blessed tomorrow because jesus says unless it falls to the ground it's not going to reproduce the reason that we're more blessed today than we've ever been is simply because we keep putting seed into god's hands don't ever stop putting your seed in god's hands can you say amen one of the ways we do that is by blessing the man of god verse 23 but jesus answered them saying the hour has come that the son of man should be glorified the way that we glorify jesus is by blessing amen his servant tonight we can have it our way or we can have it god's way and in order to do it god's way we have to be able to deny ourselves amen let's bow our heads i want to ask you amen we have had a number of revivals i think nine revivals amen this year if i'm not mistaken we just had a revival two weeks ago and god just seems to be multiplying seed here supernaturally i mean i'm blown away by how blessed people are here that is a result of seed that is being planted tonight we have an opportunity to have more tomorrow and next month by what we saw tonight i want to ask you to be a blessing amen to pastor dillard and amen his family you give the the best that you can absolutely give tonight amen father i thank you so much for pastor dillard's uh friendship lord his his heart god to believe lord his his spirit lord that is pleasant and unique god father i'm asking you tonight to help us to be a blessing to our brother lord you know his needs you know even his desires god things that that he wants that he doesn't even ask for god but you know his heart and father you move tonight lord use us to be a blessing amen to your servant and i ask lord that as we do this lord that you would multiply the seed supernaturally you touch every single cent that is dropped lord into that bucket or given online tonight you multiply it god i pray in the name of jesus christ in jesus name we pray and god's people said amen let's bless the man of god amen [Music] [Music] is [Music] he's our way up in heaven [Music] [Music] and he always knew [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] thank you for that musicians you may be seated tonight amen uh we've had a wonderful time amen with pastor dillard i'm administering to us amen so we're not gonna take no more time let's give god praise as pastor dillard's takes mike amen praise the lord amen isn't god good amen just look at your neighbor tell your neighbor i'm glad you made it on wednesday night some of y'all are saying some extra y'all saying some stuff i didn't even say to say but i'm glad you made it on wednesday night you don't normally come but it's you know but [Laughter] it's so good to see you i want to say uh before i forget thank you uh pastor roman thank you the door mccallen for your hospitality thank you for the love offering um i'm just so blessed and and i i'm blessed with having good people in my life and my wife and i were talking today and we're just talking about how we're so privileged to be able to go to places that have such hospitality and so many kind people and this isn't everywhere i go to a lot of churches and some churches they wouldn't even give you a bottle of water if you ask for it and so we've been overloaded with cupcakes and everybody that's given us uh sweets to eat god bless you um way too much but god bless you uh i'm gonna pack it up tomorrow i might have a little bake sale at mcallen airport before i leave but god has been so good so thank you so much i want you to turn in your bibles to exodus chapter 25 in the word of the lord and we're going to look in verses number one through nine there's a lot of scripture that is written about god's desire to dwell with this people and there is more scripture written god's desire to be with his people than it is written about man's desire to be with god i want to say that again there's more scriptures written about god's desire to be with man than it is with man's desire to be with god and it's profound when you consider the great passion of god's heart written from genesis to revelation is god trying to love on us god trying to be close to us god wanting to be in the midst of his people he wants to manifest his presence in the midst of his people i want to make a statement and i want you to listen to it maybe you can kind of add it to your prayer and your thinking the real issue of life is not where you're located i know in real estate it's location location location but in the kingdom of god it's not always where you are located it is who is located where you are and we need god's presence to function i need a church here today i said we need god's presence to function we need to remember that god does not need us to be god he is god all by himself he is the alpha and the omega he has no beginning he has no end there is nothing that you can bring to him that is going to make him either any more or less god so we need god to be human god does not need us to be god i want to preach a message tonight and i'm so excited because i believe god is going to do something miraculous here tonight and i want to preach a message that i've called when god comes down because i'm here to tell you that when god comes down everything changes so let's read and i don't you guys mind me i might get a little bit excited here today i might even come off the stage it says then the lord spoke to moses saying speak to the children of israel that they may bring me an offering from everyone who gives it willingly with their heart you shall take my offering and this is the offering which you shall take from them gold silver bronze blue purple scarlet thread fine linen goat's hair ram skins dyed red badger skins acacia wood oil for the light and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and then the breastplate and let them make me a sanctuary that i may dwell among them according to all that i show you that is a pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings just so you shall make it god i thank you because you have been so good to us i thank you for your kindness i thank you for your grace i thank you for your mercy jesus i thank you for your blood and for the holy spirit and lord i'm asking you do something special i thank you god for all that you've done all this week but god we need you here today i'm trusting you to heal sick bodies i'm trusting you god that the spirit and the weight of heaviness is going to be lifted from lives and god that your presence will invade this house may you be glorified in the most wonderful name of jesus and all god's people said come on amen look at your neighbor tell your neighbor you in for it here tonight let's talk about the god who wants to be close i want to take you back to eaton eating the garden of eden it was a delightful place that is what the word eden means it means delightful and we know from history that something horrible happened in paradise we know that adam and eve uh sinned and they violated god and they became exiled because of their sin and god was so serious about their sin and their breach of trust that he exiled them from paradise and he was so serious about their sin and so serious about his presence that he put a cherubim he put a protector of his presence with a flaming sword saying everything is going to change from this point i want you to know sin changes everything disobedience changes everything you know the problem with every one of us sorry about that a little bit overzealous but the problem with every one of us is that we are like fish out of water we have been created to be in his presence but because of sin we're trying to function outside of his presence and everything that we do it is a desperate uh uh uh attempt from us to try to get back to god and even people that are here today maybe you're not right with god and you're like what can i do what can i do you're watching online and you're like what do i need to do to get back to god unless god helps us we're not going to survive unless god comes down we're not going to survive unless he blesses us with his presence we're not going to make it i want you to know he didn't destroy this reveals that god had a plan god had a way that man can make himself or get himself back into the presence of the father now i want to take your attention to the tabernacle what is the purpose of the tabernacle god instructed moses to build a tabernacle and that tabernacle was going to hold god's presence it was made in such a way that it would reveal man's sin to him and also offer man an environment to get his presence back into man's presence that's what the tabernacle is all about so god gives these instructions to moses he says i want you to build a place for me that my presence can come remember that god's instruction for building was that man would not be able just to wander into god's presence i want you to hear what i'm saying here today you will not just be walking around oblivious and just end up in the presence of god i wish i could preach it like i feel it wednesday night i wish i could preach baby will you help me here tonight say whoop say come on baby but anyway say he my man but anyway in other words you're not just going to be walking around and then all of a sudden be like wow i'm in god's presence didn't know how i got here but wow i'm so glad that i'm here the the tabernacle was designed in such a way that if you're going to enter in there's things you got to do to enter in so god gives him instruction concerning the priest the sacrifices the offerings the atonement the procedures that nothing profane would come into his presence because if it comes into his presence the wrong way somebody has to die i want everybody to hear me sometimes we're very blase and flippant with god's presence i can't get a witness we throw things around about god's presence but i'm here to tell you god does not have to take everything you try to give him your family might your kids might but god doesn't have to so he gives particular attention to the ark of covenant where god would dwell between the cherubim and the rest of the inner chamber known as the holy of holies anybody heard of the holy of holies we sing about the holy you know take me past the outer courts until the holy place we sing about it but folks you just don't end up there we sing about it man we're singing with power huh we're we're kind of we're kind of slow on the first couple of verses and then we get to that part take me in to the you just don't show up there you don't come any way that you want into the holy of holies so we sing take me past the outer courts the outer court speaks of god's people the assembly and the priests what the priests would do as a priest would pour blood on top of the ark and it covered all the things that revealed sin and lack of grace this was a duty of the priest and instead of seeing our sin god and the cherubim the protector of god's presence would see the blood thus god would come and he would dwell above the mercy seat without destroying the priest and the people because of sin you say pastor what are you saying i'm saying you just can't come any way you want the only reason why god doesn't kill every last one of us tonight is because of his mercy the only reason why he doesn't kill us because sometimes we come into his house with some mess y'all ain't hearing me preach here today we come in god's house with some mess we like yeah i come in any way i want you know folks get killed for stuff like that so because of jesus hey we can gain access to every part of god's dwelling place in other words i don't have to go in for you does not have to go in for me we don't have to wait for the ushers to go in for us because of jesus i thought somebody would get excited i said because of jesus we have access to every single thing because of grace the final part of the tabernacle was the holy of holies and it's where the ark of covenant was kept cherubim protecting the presence of god and i thought about the scripture today in exodus 33 verse number 14. i don't know if i gave that to the media team but i love this verse it says my presence will go with you and i will give you rest you know the beauty of the promised land was not because the land flowed with milk and honey so god we we learned yesterday that god brought them out to bring them in so he brought them into a land that flowed with milk and honey but it was just it was not just about milk and honey it was about the tabernacle it was about the temple it was about god's presence can the church say amen and with the coming of christ each one of the furnishings that were in the tabernacle was a revelation of the type of christ a type of hymn the tabernacle the very house of god was a type of the church so no longer do we have a tabernacle in the wilderness we have the church where god wants to live you know i was thinking all day you know folks god just doesn't want to visit us every once in a while he doesn't just want to visit us at conference you know what everybody gets all stirred up we're all energized at concert conferences rally if that's the only time i can feel god's presence is during revival and conference i'm in big trouble my bible tells me that the lord inhabits the praises of his children and it says in psalms 22 verse number 3 but you are holy enthroned in the praises of israel what a promise when we offer praises to god his spirit fills each and every word and he comes forth in power the bible tells us in psalms 100 verse number 44 enter into his gates with thanksgiving and we can come into his courts with praise i like that so much i got to read it again enter his gates with thanksgiving and come into his courts with praise i'm here to tell you once again that most of us in our churches are outsiders we're always in the outer courts we never get taken past the outer courts we're always on the outside so how do we get into the presence of god can i tell you don't get in the presence of god just because you demand a lot of times we think that you know we're some of our churches were funny god come down guys i don't have to come down because you say so praise of god come and god's going to get all scared oh here i come he's like standing attention god god says listen i come where i'm invited and i'll leave where you don't want me so listen i'm not talking about our mentality about the presence of god and how we think that it should work this is what scripture says enter into his gate with thanksgiving and come into his courts with you know what praise does secondly praise prepares a place for god god is very specific you and i need to praise god and we need to do it with our whole being when you praise god it's not about how comfortable you are if you were to ask a lot of people you got black people who like black praise you got white people be like black people so they go to a black church i meet people all the time they're like and i talk about my church and they're like oh really you guys got a choir i'm like you know they they want to be a part of the experience you know they want to see all maybe that's what you want to hear mcallen i don't know god inhabits the praises of his people the bible says in psalms 22 verse number 3 can i preach here tonight it says but you are holy enthroned in the praises of israel our fathers trusted in you they trusted and you delivered them scripture says in psalms 66 verse number eight oh bless the lord all ye peoples i think that's funny it must have been black person that said that but all you peoples and make the voice of his praise heard now that's for all the people that think that you can praise god but actually not say anything thank you still with me sis on wednesday and make the voice of his praise heard who keeps our soul among the living and does not allow our feet to be moved the scripture says in psalms 149 verse number 6 let the high praises of god be in your mouth hey and a two-edged sword in your hand you say preacher what is praise praise is an expression of approval it is an admiration to god you worship god for who he is you praise him for what he's done i'm preaching better than you guys let me know here tonight i said you worship him for who he is and you praise him for what he's done hence we call our song service if you will praise and worship because we praise him because he does great things we worship him because of his character because he is unchanging he's a mighty god and it is not dependent on how you feel and how comfortable you are he's worthy to be praised that word praise appears in the bible 248 times the first time it's recorded is in genesis 29 verse number 35 and i won't read that scripture and the last time it appears is in the book of revelation if you know about the hebrew people they were a very expressive people in other words they were not ashamed to show their love for their god every time they got an opportunity to praise him it was a celebration you know church that every time that we come into the house of god it should be a celebration every time that you come into the house of god it should be a celebration in exhilaration it should be a normal part of our service enter his gates with thanksgiving in your heart and come into his courts with praise listen you can't be a spectator and call yourself praising god some people find it difficult to be excited in the house of god i find it really difficult they're like you know i'm just shy and i'm just not real you know my voice it doesn't go any louder than that and i tried i mean i tried and and uh it's just you know somebody you know i've been i've been living on earth long enough to know a little bit about people you can actually be excited about what you want to be excited about people people will go to sports events and lose their minds i have seen people that i have thought had been quiet people go to the phoenix suns basketball game when they were good i'm actually they're good this this past year but but they go to a phoenix suns game and they're screaming they're yelling the music i'm pom-pon and i'm like wow bring that passion to the house of god i'm like my goodness i don't know anybody on the phoenix sons team y'all ain't helping me preaching here today how can you go to a feeding son's game lose your mind lose your voice sweating spending money and then come into the house of god and you're saying hallelujah god you're worthy some of y'all be lip-syncing you ain't even singing you're milli vanilli in it some of y'all don't even know who milly vanilla is you talk to me later hit me up send me a text praise is giving god what is due to his name is giving him room in our life to do all that he wants to do and it flows out of a relationship the closer you are to him the more of him should be revealed in your praise that means that as as we get old in the lord and our relationship gets deeper in him you should not be praising less huh as some people say because see some of you remember used to be like off the chain praiser when you first got saved like i don't care what nobody came out of the club you mean all of a sudden we get saved for a while now we dignified don't want anybody to think we're getting too excited gotta tone it down a little bit no i wonder what happened one day like if we all could like lift like both hands i can only praise god in my right hand because i'm right-handed why don't we get some ambidextrous praise help me somebody can we get some ambidextrous praise it goes beyond how you feel can i tell you that what needs to happen in the house of god is we need to be more god-conscious than self-conscious in other words we need to begin to get a revelation once again that the praise is not even about you it's not even about the person next to you it's not even about the worship team it is not about the worship leader it is not about how i feel i praise him because he is a good god i wish i had a witness here today i praise him because he is a good god he's done some good things for me i can't praise him for you i wish i could but i can't so how do we praise him there's a word and i need to move very quickly there's a word called todah somebody say todah there's seven dimensions of praise and and the first dimension of praise is that we're todah and today simply means to make a choice set your will that you were going to praise the lord and the fifth dimension i believe is the the the word called zamar zamar is simply if there's an instrument use that instrument to praise god i think what the problem that we run into so often is that we come into our churches and we enter in not with toda in other words we've not made up our mind whether or not we want to do it yet so what we do is we come into the house of god and we have a worship leader who's here designed to make us that's why we have too many spectators because we have a worship leader and he's his mission stand up and you're like i said lift your hands sit down sing and he spends most of his energy trying to convince people of something that you should already be convinced about in other words you've got to make up your mind todah before you get here i wish i asked him let me let me talk to these guys over here they're kind of quiet i i said you need to make up your mind before you get here you got to make a choice you say you know it doesn't matter what anybody else is doing i am making up my mind that i am going to praise him because of who he is and what he's done that means that even if we don't have any instruments i still made a choice anybody who ever pioneered you know what i'm talking about so how do we praise god i move through these very quickly we praise god through singing psalms 30 verse number four and i'm i'm not gonna you if you're taking notes just write these down for yourself later we we praise the lord through shouting psalms 35 verse number 27. we praise the lord when we make a joyful noise and once again psalm 66 we make us joyful noise so that it can be heard how do we praise him we don't praise him your way we praise him god's way the bible says we praise him through laughter i'm not talking about weirdness where we're in the middle of preaching have your butt removed take you to pastor roman's office for demon but the bible says in psalms 126 verse number 1 when the lord brought back the captivity of zion when we were like those who dreamed then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue was singing hey then they said among the nations the lord has done great things for them the lord has done great things for us and we are glad we should praise the lord and laughter we should praise the lord also with thanksgiving the bible tells us in psalms 69 verse number 30 and also in psalms 100 verse number 4. we should also praise the lord we're standing some of you have wondered why do they make you stand or why do they ask you to stand not make you sad why do they ask you to stand you stand out of respect most people know if you don't even like president joe biden most likely if he came tonight you would give him some respect you would give the office respect you may not like him but you give the office even if you don't like president trump you would at least give them respect that's why it's not good parents that when we're standing and we're worshiping god and praising god you let little little babies sit down you need to tell your children as they say in georgia tell your children that they need to stand up because the king is in the room oh because the king is in the room the king is here honor him respect him [Applause] we praise the lord by kneeling psalms 96 verse number five we praise the lord by clapping some of your wonder why do we why do we clap our hands the bible tells us in psalms 47 verse number one that clapping shows approval when brother auggie challenges us and says give the lord some praise he's not trying to brainwash you you're like man is he trying to use subliminal suggestion when he says give the lord some praise he's just said give him some respect and honor him he's worthy to be praised we're showing approval for the king no one's trying to trick you listen no one can make you do something you don't want to do some of you know that already worship leader can't make you do something you don't want to do some of you be fighting brother all get a whole worship service you're like i'm about todd him i sing with my song come on that's listen man you're not at the club this is not ladies night at the club talk to me somebody that's that ladies night at the club and you're at the club and you're sitting down and you just don't like what the dj playing no i'm saying the dj put on your song you're like oh it's not ladies night at the club where you you where you gonna get into it when your jam comes on we praise the lord by dancing now i know that this makes people very uncomfortable but i read in my bible in psalms 149 verse number 3 let them praise his name with the dance let them sing praises to him with the timberland heart now now listen to me i don't know what the dance is i don't i don't know if you do the worm i don't know if you cumbia i don't know if you caught nigel i don't know if you're merengue i don't know what the dance is so i don't want you to get all wearing me like pastor dillard in his sermon i just some things i don't agree with he said something about dance i don't know what the dance is but i tell you what the dance ain't the dance ain't you shaking your booty for jesus i wish i had some help up in this house the dance is not you shaking your booty for jesus and we're trying to praise god and you're like if the dance if the dance is bringing too much attention to you you got the wrong dance holla somebody i said if the dancer is bringing attention to you you've got too much dance on i lived in south africa people got down they were a whole nother level i i thought i could get down but our worship service would start the chairs would be here they move out to the aisle not you being sensual it's not you being prince in the revolution during church we praise him with uplifted hands the bible says in psalms 134 verse number two lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the lord there's a reason why we lift our hands because he says lift up your hands in the sanctuary he says you guys are the ones that need to get back and i'm telling you the way that you get back you lift your hands in the sanctuary the scripture tells us that we praise him by speaking and singing in tongues first corinthians 14 verse number 2 and also 15. and lastly we praise the lord by playing instruments so god promises that he will dwell in the midst of praise that he says when i can find some people that will praise me i will bring my presence into their atmosphere you ever been in a church service where everything changed i'm sorry i'm gonna say it again have you ever been in the church service where everything changed you could feel god's presence come in let's talk about for a moment and we're going to pray about what happens when god comes down see now when god spoke to moses he said moses i want you to create a place for presence to dwell you're not going to get there accidentally you're not going to just show up that's why some of you you come every single service and nothing ever transpires there's no kingdom transaction in your life because you are not appraiser you can be here you can be in a church of people that prays you can look at brother all again look at the worship team be like go brother i'll get go i love it when you sweat brother auggie's putting in work head shining and you're just sitting there looking at him man he really looked like he gonna pass out the day i thought last week but this week get him a rag or something brother all you be putting in work y'all brother all you be working out boy i can't i can't quite move like him i can't i can't i'm gonna work on it so when i come back man i'll have it he's he's more black than me melissa you're not gonna you don't get a freebie you don't get to enter in just because other people are entering listen after la fitness and t-mobile get your friends in that's why you can come here every week and be an outsider you can actually be in this building but never be invaded by his presence and you can't live like that i can't live like that i got to be honest sometimes we're delusional we always make these statements god is here and i've been in services sometimes where they say god is here and i'm like nah nah nah preachers but don't you feel him right now it's not some weird mysterious thing spooky it's not some spooky thing he comes where he's invited and i tell you once again he doesn't need us to be god we have to have him to survive let's talk for a moment about when god's presence comes things happen number one god's presence brings joy i just need to say amen wherever you agree god's presence brings joy david said these words he says you fill me with joy in your presence hey david said you fill me with joy in your presence you want more joy fill your life with praise stop all of your complaining all of your murmuring all of your bellyaching and fill your life with praise number two god's presence gives rest rest is always a gift of god's presence rest gives comfort puts one's mind at ease we're reminded moses was frustrated with god's people they weren't helping him he's frustrated and he he said god you need to help me and god said you know something i'm going to give you some rest number three god's presence brings peace the disciples we remember they're caught in the midst of a storm and jesus said peace be still what happened his presence invaded their presence and then everything changed the storm obeyed it doesn't mean that everything is quiet but it does mean that you don't have to worry number four god's presence brings blessing it says in psalms 65 verse number 4 blessed are those who choose and you bring near to live in your courts we are filled with the good things of your house of your holy temple good things of god aren't material blessings only but they're the qualities of his character talk to me church david testified to this when he said that those who have clean hands and pure hearts will receive blessings from the lord god's presence also brings power you know something about god's presence his presence will protect you it says in psalms 91 verse number 9 let me read this if you make the most high your dwelling even the lord who is my refuge then no harm will befall you no disaster will come near your tent for he will command his angels concerning to guard you in all your ways they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against the stone you will tread upon the lion and the cobra you will trample the great lion and the serpent because he loves you says the lord i will rescue him i will protect him for he acknowledges my name he will call upon me and i will answer him i will be with him in trouble i will deliver him and honor him with long life i will satisfy him and show him my salvation [Applause] we find this truth with daniel and the hebrew boys in the furnace god's presence is with them daniel witnessed the protection of the lord in the lions then i wish i had a friend here today can i tell you that he's willing to meet you wherever life finds you i've been thinking all week how good god is and he's willing to meet you wherever you want him to meet you that means that god is not confined to this building i wish i had a friend he is not confined to this building that means that if if the devil's on your back and you drive down to the church and the door is locked and you can't get it you're like call pastor pastor where are you come down and unlock the building because god's in there listen folks we don't lock god in here when we leave we're like we're going to be back on sunday morning now i want you to stay here we left you some water and some cookies you'd be good so we lock him in here and he's he's in here he's pacing back and forth he's like i wish my people would would let me out sometimes i really want to do some good things that's how we used to think religiously that would be our religious mindset that's how you know a lot of people in my family thought that's how a lot of you that were former catholics thought you got to get to the catholic church and if you got to the catholic church everything's going to be all right can i tell you we serve a big god can i get a witness from somebody i said we serve a big god [Applause] and he's willing to meet you wherever you invite him to meet you that means if you go home tonight and you're vexed i double dog dare you to lift your hands and praise him in your house i double dog dare you to lift your voice on the way to work tomorrow say god i'm gonna praise you i don't care if the people on the left of me think i'm crazy people on the right think i'm crazy i'm gonna speak to you in tongues i'm gonna lift my hands and see if he don't visit you can i just say something real quick you know all all this is when we come together is like like a big jesus party you feel me so all this is like a big jesus party and so so it's when we come together collectively and i bring my praise bro right you bring your praise front row and you bring your pro uh uh praise brother front row might as well rub it this is your second row but i don't like that but i just don't talk to people in the second row but so reuben brings his praise my brother brings his praise you bring your praise you bring your praise you bring your praise and we've already made up our mind and we get to come together and give it all to him that's what makes this wonderful that we all bring listen i didn't see any sh in any any sheep outside i just seen it go i don't see anybody sacrificing outside got to make a sacrifice before we come you know the sacrifice you make you make the sacrifice to get here and then once you get here you make the sacrifice of praise and the sacrifice of praise is the fruit of your lips he's willing to meet you where you're at the devil will try to make you think that god is only powerful at conference he's only powerful at the rally he's only powerful when pastors here he's only powerful when the deacons are here and the elders are here and we but but the truth is that when you praise him he will take dominion over your environment god he came into the prison with paul and silas how do we remember the story and he took over hey thank you god he came with peter the night before his trial and you need to bring god into where you are invite him in say god i want your presence to take dominion in this atmosphere i want my home to actually be a place that i can rest you know why people love this atmosphere because this is an atmosphere that praise built that's why i hear people say man it's so wonderful in there i didn't want to leave but the truth is you got to leave talk to me somebody you can't stay here even though you want to you want to say i just want to stay here but you can't you got to go home and so why don't you make your home a place his presence takes authority over satan you know what the devil constantly tries to do he constantly tries to make us unavailable to god tries to make us uncomfortable with worship we don't want to be people that are too zealous and the devil wants us to constantly respond out of our flesh but in praise takes authority over satan and also praise vindicates us and i'm closing praise is the fruit of your lips you can't praise god and be quiet at the same time you better just touch your neighbor and say that's preaching good right there you can always give the lord praise you can always honor the lord you can always bring a sacrifice of praise i need to know anybody in here has the lord been good to you i need to know [Applause] invite the lord into your environment i'm tired of us having these dry church services you're not dry because god didn't show up it's dry because we didn't invite him praise is what invites god's presence and we need to fill every corner of our life so i want us to conclude this meeting by asking the lord to do us a favor we're going to end this media just by asking god god will you do me a favor god i know that your presence begins with your favor and it's only because of your kindness and grace that makes fellowship with you possible what would make him even want to be around us it doesn't make any sense what would make him condescend outside of grace why what we have nothing to offer even us telling him that he's good doesn't do anything for him even us coming with all of our actions god you're awesome he's like i've heard that in a lot of songs lately it's quite astounding when you think that we have nothing to offer him but we can invite him and he'll come anyway god's presence is something that we need to practice and you are not going to enter into god's presence just because you are here you will enter into his presence and he will visit you when you ask him when you exalt him when you magnify him when you lift your voice and you say god i thank you for setting me free i thank you for freeing me i can't tell it i can't tell my story i can't tell somebody else's story for them i can only tell my story god i thank you for your presence and i invite you god into this atmosphere and that's what i want us to do tonight i was in a prayer room and god said he's going to heal some people tonight and he's not going to heal some people because we have a healing line he's going to heal some people because that's what he does he's not going to help people because we have a healing crusade he's going to heal people because that's what he does those things happen in his presence he is going to break the spirit of confusion off of people's lives because the devil brings confusion but in his presence confusion is vanquished he's going to give you peace he's going to give you rest he's going to give you joy because that's who he is i want every head bowed every eye closed god bless you god we thank you for the privilege that we can practice your presence we thank you for the privilege of praise we thank you god that you said in your word in john chapter 15 that if we abide in you that you will abide in us we thank you god that you are unchanging we thank you that you invite us to enter in we thank you and as we pause for a moment i want to speak to those that have come who are not christians you've never invited the lord into your life you're not saved you're not right with god before we conclude this service you say pastor i'm not saved i'm not right but i need to get my heart right you lift your hand quickly say yes that's me i'm unsaved i'm backslidden pray for me tonight preacher i want to be saved i want to be born again i need jesus in my life i need the miracle of salvation [Music] you lift your hand quickly all over this building god is speaking to you [Music] we're going to open the altar for just a time of prayer and thanksgiving and we're going to come and we're going to bring a sacrifice of praise that we're going to take some time and actually kneel before the lord and say god you know i want to take some time and thank you [Music] for how good you have been to me i don't know what other people are going to do but i know that god you deserve all of the praise and as god spoke to moses and he said moses i want you to prepare a place that my presence could reside is the same way that we're here today and god says prepare a place for my presence to reside he wants to rest upon you he wants to visit you he wants to visit you in your predicament in your situation in your loneliness in your despair he wants to quiet the storm in your life [Music] he wants to vindicate you praise confuses the enemy i wonder on this last night of revival if we can say god do me a favor receive my praise and i promise to you that when you praise him he'll turn around and find you when you give him the praise that is due to his name he will turn around he'll find you he'll visit you i'm not talking about what somebody else is going to do i'm not talking about your fears and your inhibitions and all of your phobias say god i praise you because of who you are what you've done and if you just want to take some time just to thank this build here a sanctuary this tabernacle in this house for the presence of god the altar is open you come you bring your praise you come you bring your thanks you come you bring your adoration you come you bring your approval you come come come thank you lord [Music] thank you jesus [Music] thank you thank you thank you lord thank you lord for your grace i want you here at the altar to begin to just say in your own words how appreciative you are thank you for what he's done in your life thank him for how good he's been to you thank him for how kind he's been to you how merciful he's been to you thank him for the gift of salvation thank him for the power of the holy ghost thank you lord thank you thank you god oh god your presence and our presence oh god your presence and our presence i thank you god that you freed us you've broken every curse you broke in every strong hope you broken the dominion of the enemy upon our minds and upon our hearts god forgive us because we have been so slow we've been so slow to give you praise we have been so distracted to give you praise god we've been so self-absorbed that we neglected to give you praise oh god may this place be filled with men and women who adore you may it be filled with men and women who've made a choice yet will i praise you yet will i praise you yet will i praise you it's not about my circumstances it's not about my situation

come i don't want you to forget that we were made to worship him we were created to worship him and nothing else will do nothing if you don't do anything else i don't want to become like a big time preacher but not a worshiper he's made me to praise him he's given me a voice to thank him and i want to encourage you let this be an atmosphere where when people come in here it's going to be filled with the presence of god they're going to know that he's alive and in our hearts i want it to be such an atmosphere that when they drive [Music] into this parking lot it's going to be different [Music] they're going to put their car in park and they're like oh gosh they're going to open that front door and what's going to hit them is not going to be that 68 degree air conditioner which i
