ENGLISH Dante Gebel #849 | Singing through trials
Some of our most tender moments with the Lord are marked by songs, even at the funeral of someone we love. Whenever we face trials, we have to remember who God is, to worship Him. Worship is about forgetting what is wrong in our lives and focusing on the good in Him. It restores us to the joy of salvation. It recalibrates our spirit. It renews our mind and strengthens our soul. Worship is the act of glorifying the Father and strengthening our vision of Him… A message that comforts the soul!

now about three years
ago I preached a message titled winter
virus in
which I told the following
story on December
26th
2004 the third Lar earthquake ever
recorded by the seismograph erupted
beneath the Indian Ocean produced energy
equivalent of 23,000 atomic bombs
recording a magnitude of 8.8 on the
Rector scale The Shack waves produce
tsunami waves measuring more than 100 ft
in height Trav 500 miles per hour and
reached a radius of 3,000 miles it was
the worst tsunami in history
there are almost
230,000
victims imagine how many football
stadiums but one group of people by
Miracle survived without a single victim
the
Moen the Moen are ethnic group that
maintains a nautical culture based on
the ocean they their
lives on the ocean from birth to
death
they’re known as the the sea
gypsies there have many Wooden Boats
function as floating homes from this see
gypsies more can children learn how to
swim before learning how to walk was
saved their lives was their intimacy
with the ocean the moan know the moods
of the ocean and its messages better
than any
oceanographer they read the waves
the way we read street
signs on the day of the earthquake a
photographer was taking
pictures when the sea began to
recede the photos of it show many of the
moing
crying they knew what was about to
happen they
recognize that the birds has stopped
chirping and the
us being
silent that the elephants headed towards
High ground and the Dolphins swam
further out to
sea and what did the moin do those near
the coast of Thailand climbed to the
highest elevation
possible those who were at Sea sell out
to
sea burmes fishermen in the same
vicinity as the Moen were devastated by
the tsunami with no
survivors they don’t know how to look
said amoken they didn’t know how to see
the waves the elephants and dolphins
spoke to those burmish fishermen but
sadly they did not know how to listen to
them the mocking saw a small wave that
did not seem normal to them
that in an Asian Legend that had been
passed down from generation to
generation about a wave that comes to
the
people somehow they perceived that this
wave was that
wave like the seafaring Navigator if you
may who understand the language of the
sea
Christians should discern the language
of the seasons
throughout our
lives and today’s message is for those
of us who were once on the verge of
giving up of throwing in the towel of
abandoning everything just for not being
able to interpret the dialect of the
seasons there is no worse
tragedy than when when winter comes we
continue stubbornly wearing summer
clothes or that come summer we resist
taking off our jackets coats or snow
boots and by not Discerning that we are
entering a different season we are
sometimes tempted to abandon their faith
and request an indefinite leave of
absence from the
army of
God we all long to have good
Seasons but seasons of illness help us
value seasons of good health seasons of
failure help us value those of
success seasons of debt help us value
seasons of
abundance and difficult times help us
value the good
times and even if we don’t like it we
all need a healthy dose of seasons of
adversity of course we want to have an
eternal spring in our lives but the
reality of this world is that we don’t
there are
times when we
realize that
that is that wave is that type of
wave we have to make sure to discern the
type of
wave a tsunami that is going to seep us
away we have to discern that moment
Again difficult times help us value the
good
times and yes we all need a healthy dose
of seasons of
adversity by the great game of life is
to know what kind of season we are going
through yes that’s very
important and obviously about Health
finances
relationships if we can’t discern the
seasons and we immersed in these trouble
Waters sometimes we ask and say why I
don’t know why I am going through
this and but the great game of life is
to know again what kind of season we’re
going through okay if we in Winter okay
I’m G to take my clothes fall well I
know it’s going to
rain I I like yeah I want to enjoy my my
season of spring in Solomon opens
Chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes this saying
everything has its time and everything
desire under Heaven has its time and its
season everybody has that special time
time and opportunity everybody
everything has its time Salomon makes a
list of 28 seasons Snippets of the types
of stages we are likely to experience in
the course of Our
Lives it is important to identify the
seasons so that when it comes to an end
we do not clink to it and go out with
Elegance
yes sometimes have to say my youthful
season is over
I cannot be an old person wearing
thinking I’m a 18-year-old I have to
cover my matureness if you may you have
to know how to go
out go out with
Elegance sometimes there are
couples who are sucked into the Vortex
of a dysfunctional relationship they’re
not bad people they’re just not right
for each other and they’re the worst
version of themselves when they are
together B has the courage to end that
season and they continue a toxic
relationship others cannot understand
that they must leave a Ministry or a
job they tend to see season closures in
a negative negative way and this is not
always the case you have to realize that
when the season is over it’s
over yes when a job is over you have to
know when certain season it’s
over sometimes everything that starts
has to to come to an end you cannot
avoid
it and at some point a little kid turns
to him any has to live the
home if you treat him like a little kid
it’s a man already let him grow let him
fly let him make its own life it’s part
of life to let go we have to let go so
sometimes it’s very
hard sometimes giving upos that has
already ended is the most prudent option
we can
choose so we have to say oh I enjoy this
this is the end I’ll finish it but most
of the time resignation is not the
option that the heart wants to choose
and you want to move forward because we
invested a lot there are times when we
feel that when a season ends you are
burying an
investment and many years of effort
or everything we gave and
delivered some sometimes people in a
church don’t leave because they say I
put that brick over there hey take your
brick and leave that church your season
is
over
but life consist of
following that Pillar of Fire and not
fleeing from the Egyptians who are
chasing us
again in everything any relationship at
a job but life consist don’t forget
this in following that Pillar of Fire
and not fleeing from the Egyptians who
are chasing us many times instead of
being the result of where we are going
we end up being what who are we fleeing
from our life should not be defined by
what we run away from but attribute it
to what we run
towards we have to R run so the new
thing something that God has for us it’s
easy to flee away from Bad
seasons but it has to
finish so we could value the
cold and cold has to end so we can value
the
warmth God divided the life in
Seasons during the last 15 years of
river this congregation and those who
watch Us online have heard many of my
messages but I know that one day there
will be a last
service in which I’ll have to express my
last words as a pastor as your pastor it
will be when I have to move to a new
onto a new assignment or God will simply
tell me you have come this
far and although the messages are
recorded in a time capsule and available
to whoever wants to hear
them because we didn’t have 50 years ago
you could listen to the prees I know
there will be one last time when I will
stand before you as your
Shepherd but until God gives me a new
excitement in a new season each of us
will have to ask ourselves what was the
last order I received from the
Lord the Lord ask
us what was the last thing I called you
to do what was the last order I assigned
you I assigned to
you God sometimes give me a new season I
want something new okay first listen
what was the last order from God and you
have to be faithful to the last order
from God there’s a a story that says
that General St Martin gave orders to
his corpro not to allow anyone to enter
the regiment’s compound with Shar boots
and Spurs until one day Samar himself
wanted to go into the regiment’s
compound with his boots on and the corbo
told him I’m sorry either you take off
your boots or I can lay you in this are
you own orders sir and St Martin said to
him Corporal are you aware that it was I
who gave you that order of course sir
change the last order I received and I
will gladly let you pass I like that
philosophy in all of our Seasons IA that
axum remain where you are obeying the
last order the last assignment until
they give you a new
one that’s
life power of focus this is what God
told me to do now I’m
mother I cannot worry about when I will
be a grandmother now I have to be a
father later on in life I’ll see when I
retire where I’ll be now I have to be a
grandfather is your assignment that you
have
today this is what I have to do today at
my
job if I have to be first second third
fourth circumstances and geography may
change but we will continue doing what
God called us to
do is it making sense what I’m saying
and before I get into a rest of the
message there is something I would like
to clarify there’s a strange idea that
circulates through churches
today some Christians have the strange
impression that being Christians will
exemp them from all
problems somehow they believe that by
accepting Christ they are
given a fast
pass with small letters on the back we
say the bearer of this car absolves him
from any type of pain or problem which
he leaves on this
planet oh you cannot have problems with
your
kids the kid will never through a
tantrum you will have a perfect life
your marriage will be perfect like if
you marry
Cinderella or maybe you marry the
Beast you will never have financial
problems you will never be
sick not even a
cold when when you think that this is
for you but it’s not like that
Christians do not have immunity from the
different
seasons there’s a pandemic it comes from
everyone there’s a recession is for
everyone same thing if you’re a new
believer or an old believer it doesn’t
matter if you are a spiritual giant we
are in perfect creatures in a fallen
world we struggle with other burdens
that come with being a member of the
human race when we become children of
God what distinguishes US is not that we
do not have problems but how we deal
with those
problems how we face those
Seasons this is what some of us uh stand
out during pandemic is how we deal with
the
pandemic you saw this mucus that came
from China those who didn’t believe in
God and acted like an
atheist but for us no we say we’re going
to face this with Faith and we not yeah
prudently with Valor I’m a Christian who
believe in God that I know about the
problem about the pandemic and when not
face it the best way possible trusting
God if your son is thr TR every day is
not that he has a demon inside it’s how
are you going to deal with that you your
son is a teenager you having problems
it’s not that he is a Devil Himself
remember how you were a
teenager you say oh my times nah you are
the same way
also but we
forget so the first tantrum so you think
God is Not upon us God has forgotten us
he has forsaken US 1 Peter 4:12 says
beloved do not be surp surprised at the
fiery trial that has come upon you as if
some strange thing were happening to
you I I mean we don’t have to look
surprised he he I think was ironic about
it oh this a trial of course it’s a
trial and King David was not surprised
when he sensed that he was going through
one of his worst seasons and he
recording Psalm
71
that was David
tsunami it was a time when one of his
sons a young man named adonias tried top
the Throne of his father David had
promised the title to another of his
sons
Solomon so political turmoil and a
family War were mixed and is belied that
David wrote this Psalm during the
heartbreaking moments of this family
Discord
and H David was almost at the end of his
legendary life he had led the Young
Nation of Israel to a pinnacle of power
and
stability in the midst of building a
dynasty he had already survived a
previous family
Insurrection
absolum his a air had turned against him
had attempted to seiz the throne with a
coup the cost of this son’s Insurrection
was enormously heavy and included the
life of absolum and the loss of many men
now his son adonias was trying to steal
what David had promised to
Solomon it seemed like the nightmare was
repeating itself
again when we see David’s personal life
we realize that none of us have had real
family problems see it was nice to
compare other people’s life because you
think oh it’s always us with the worst
kids
no but he had one kid worse than the
other David’s age heart was Bren with
deep
sadness he has served God for so long
and now have to experience
this another son wants top the throne
this is a real CH
tragedy David knew that he had he had
made serious
mistakes in his younger years but even
so this was too high a
price why do I have to live
this I don’t understand it
he does not understand
it and Psalm 71 is an incredible Gem of
a
scripture it’s not very long he has only
24 verses and yet hidden within those
two dozen lines there are at least 50
quotes or references two other
Psalms the psalmist
gather all these references in tormented
mind examined them in the light of a
lifting of divine wisdom and assembl
them into a mosic of a masterpiece of
heartfelt
poetry he knew something about the
sudden
change of
seasons he was David the first Moen to
see that a destructive W wave was
coming
and he
describes to us with passionate
phraseology what he saw during that
difficult
season and the first thing he expresses
is my
God deliver me from the hand of the
wicked and from the hand of the evil and
violent David had several dangerous
enemies
that caused them tremendous
anxiety we all have enemies to fight
maybe no one persecutes
us like David was
persecuted maybe wouldn’t suffer like
David suffered but someone may be
displeased with us or just playing likes
us
maybe they are dissatisfied with God
and since they see our
blessing they focus all the Heat and
hate or their
frustration on
us and for certain people we become
everything that person envis is jealous
of and makes them angry because they
cannot have
it
and it’s like that people will just
plainly hate
you and they will just not like
you and maybe because you look really
good and they don’t maybe because you
have money and they don’t maybe because
you are happy or you don’t maybe they
really ugly and you’re not maybe because
you live in this country and they
don’t who
knows just because God bless you
yes and it
happens and people will hate you people
will not like you this part of life is
how it is then David seems to give more
information about his bitter season my
enemies talk to talk about
me and those who lie in wait for my soul
consult together saying God has forsaken
him pursue him him and take him because
there is no one to rescue him oh God do
not go away from me my God come quickly
to my Aid let the adversaries of my soul
be put to shame and let them perish they
those who wish me evil be covered with
shame and
confusion some evidence comes from
people who are not even enemies in this
eological sense of the word people
closest to
can also hurt
us in this season the Coalition that
caus David’s problem was not made up of
Philistines or another foreign
tribe David’s enemies were people from
his own Inner
Circle from his own
family among them were his beloved Sons
absum and
adonias both try to assert the throne
and there is
another who wouldn’t T to
David and sometimes the deepest wound is
caused by whoever is
closest no wound is as painful as the
one caused by someone we love and
Trust A house divided against itself is
a terrible trial
and then David
speaks to
God in a starkly sincere
way you have done great things oh God
who is like
you but you have also made me see many
anguish and evils difficult seasons can
come from friends from enemies but they
can also come from the power of God
himself this is something that only
parents can
understand there are times when parents
have to allow things in our children
that we could prevent them from going
through although we will give anything
to avoid any type of
pain but if we really love our kids
sometimes we have to allow them to deal
with their own
blows there are blows in difficult
Seasons that teach things that the
wisest words of parents cannot
teach some things cannot be learned with
sermons or
advice but at the cost of burnt f
fingers and scraped
knees and as I always say God allows
certain obstacles we need a
Divine controlled
environment God knows there are seasons
in which his children will emerge
more mature and
wiser kids have to break themselves
sometimes if happened to me my parents
had to let me go oh I bad
experiences and everything that I have
is thank to
God I
know not like parents nowadays that they
KS has a fart and you Tak them to they
are no they they’re
blows difficult Seasons that we have to
let our kids go
through and always say God allows C
obstacles within a divinely controlled
environment
that is the truth that is the
truth oh if we experience something that
got you burnt you and you got burnt when
you say it burns oh we’ll get away and
when this happens as adults we learn
imagine when the wait waiter come and
says don’t touch the plates hot and you
go and touch
it little kids not until they experience
the burnt the
Heat
and God knows there are
seasons in which his children will
emerge more
mature and wiser yes God will allow that
he is looking though he is watching you
he’s watching you he knows what’s
happening to you he has not forsaken
you yeah you’ll be more
wiser much much wiser Psalm 71:7 goes on
to say I have become as a Wonder to many
but you are my strong
Refuge what was take talking David
about David was a public figure he knew
that everyone was watching what he
did Christian leaders we know how true
this
is everyone know knew the horrible
details of David’s family
problems I always say my private life is
my private life my personal life is my
personal
life but if you want to put yourself as
an example of something so saying but
then we
fall or if you fail that’s what fingers
will be pointing at
you private life is priv authenticity is
not lack of
privacy you don’t have to
use social media to see how you how you
go to a bathroom you don’t need to do
that it’s because I’m
authentic you open a door that is going
to be so hard to
close when people are in your
life you want to take them out well you
open the
doors you’re interested in how you
live um you’re showing how your private
life
is you cannot
discern was was good was bad what op to
give good and bad in your personal life
it will happen don’t open up so but
David was a poli
figure everyone knew the horrible
details of David’s family Not only was
he the king but also a man who always
talked about God and now he seemed to
have feet of
clay and he says it I have become as a
Wonder to
many but now you are my strong refuge
and that’s where I want to
go he just wants to be
hidden I want to go fly somewhere else
people says stop I don’t want people I
don’t want to deal with
people
David David was wise enough to recognize
the limits of his
wisdom he he was painfully aware of his
limitations and his weaknesses then he
cried deliver me in your Justice till
you ear and save me L an SOS is the most
basic cry that can come from the soul
lord I want to get out from here for the
world I want to get off
I can’t I can’t no
more I
can’t I’m crawling into the end of the
year I can’t no more this was the worst
year oh I would love to wake up and then
the next morning everything by Miracle
is perfect there’s no trouble look look
I have $1 million in my
account you call the bank yeah it was a
mistake but you said doesn’t matter we
go to the kitchen you and your mom your
mom left she’s never coming back oh
thank God what did what did your mom
leave I don’t know she felt not coming
back ever again maybe she went to a
monastery she said she’s not coming back
until she
dies you want things an eternal
spring someone said that Psalm
71 is full of great praise and great
complaints at the same time David takes
us on Excursion into the depth of the
abyss and then he shows us the high path
we must take when we enter those Low
Places and in many of the Psalms David
PMR encompasses both human defects and
divine
history and this is not a minor issue
because he has been preached to
us that we must have positive
thinking they
assures that if we
practice positive
confession positive things will happen
to
us there are entire
books about positive
thinking oh yes you will hear this
absolutely and that being positive good
things will happen all the time even
atheist
Bel say it’s going to good it’s going to
be good it’s going to be good it will
good
good sometimes things go
wrong very
wrong very very
wrong nobody saying amen it doesn’t
matter and if our mind is
shaped to
be always positive the time will come
when we are leaving in an imaginary
world me I like to be positive I
consider myself a positive
person but there’s something I also
believe in if no one does have a
realistic point of view of adversity
when the time comes to face that reality
the result is not going to be very
positive we cannot stop believing what
we really believe because
experiencing a season of debt but it’s
really probably because we spend more
than we were
earning even great businessmen fell
doing any business and and didn’t even
have God and they go and start over
again and do it
again you cannot say I’m not going to
pay taxes and IRS will never find me
sooner or later fire IR will find you
welcome welcome to the IR
world it’s like you want to be a public
figure and that no one’s going to
criticize you if you are a public figure
people are going to criticize you no no
you’re not Taylor Swift or you’re not
the
Kardashians if you have social media
you’re telling
people I am open to your public
scrutin if you take a
picture and you put some filters and
someone’s gonna say oh you look so
fat he don’t ever post that
picture but when you post that pick
someone will comment that is the truth
they criticize me all the
time
there’s always people that is there
doing nothing yeah sitting on a chair
and giving opinions about people they do
that and not necessarily is good opinion
yes life isn’t going to be a walk in the
park and David was not very given to
fantasies but when David saw that the
worst that life had in store for him he
was able to remember God’s faithfulness
in Psalm 71 he was saying in you oh
Jehovah I have taken Refuge may I never
be ashamed help me and Deliver Me In
Your Justice tilt your ear and save me
be for me a rock of Refuge to which I
continually turn you have given me a
promise to save me because you are my
rock and you are my
strength
whenever we Face trials we have to
remember who God
is David
understood that he must remember the
honor of God even when his own children
did not honor
him things may be worse but God never
changes everything else changes except
God as a
poet he’s the fixed point in in a
changed world the poet
said God David knew this he knew that
God will honor him God was
there God is faithfulness seasons change
God does not
change God is a fixed point in a
changing world and David added my God
deliver me from the hand of the wied and
from the hand of the wicked I’m violent
for you oh Lord Jehovah Are My Hope my
security from my
youth in you I have been sustained from
the womb you are the
one who took me out my mother’s womb
look look what he points since then see
my mother’s womb my praise will be
always to
you he’s thinking all his life he’s
thinking he gave me the life he gave me
life
impressive what did David do in this
moment of
Despair he stepped back into his
memories and reviewed the many pieces of
wisdom about God what he had learned
over
time God has show him Fidelity
throughout his entire life they had
faced a giant he faced a jealous king
with a murderous mind he have faced the
legions of challenging Nation deying
Nations and somehow Israel had survived
and prospered in all these things God
had been faithful the Lord had brought
it
forward in what is true what was true
for David it is true for us today in my
case I can look back and say
Lord you have blessed me every day of my
life since I was a child growing up in a
small legalistic Church you have
satisfied the deepest desires of my soul
you have kept me through every crisis I
have
experienced you have blessed me with
a wonderful gifts and talents since I
was 7 years old you fed me with your
word and you allowed me to grow at the
feet of your great men and you free me
from the chaos from my stormy at
adolescence you watched me over through
high school and in many
years of my Clumsy rebellion and in
seasons of
weakness you sustain me through my first
days of
ministry even when so many criticized me
mercilessly when I could have thrown in
the towel and abandon your work Lord
when I remember the past years and how
you transformed that Shy Boy into a man
of faith I can only say that your
faithfulness is true truly very great
what about
you you could write a Psalm about your
life about
you what is your testimony regarding the
grace and goodness of God think about
that think about your
life think about
that how how God has been with you
always always how you let me live in and
watch Messi
I’m I’m just giving you
ideas yeah what is your testimony
regarding the grace and goodness of
God even you have walked with the Lord
for only a few weeks God has been good
and faithful to
you in God
faithfulness is a reminder of how much
God loves you and that he has not lost
his interest in
you he’s not going to change in what he
has been doing Faithfully since eternity
but difficult Seasons always extract
from us our best version and he prepares
us for what is to
come 1 Peter 1:7
says that when your faith is
tested being much more precious than
gold which although perishable is tested
by fire may be found in Praise Glory and
Honor when Jesus Christ is
revealed this is saying he’s saying this
is something
normal Peter joins David in stating that
fire tempers the steel of our character
yes the psalmist in 1967 before I was
humbled I was as
stray but now I keep your
word it is good for me to have been
humiliated so that that I may learn your
statutes test
me test makes us
walk on the straight path while those
who are not
tested end up going
astray sanag James also wants us to hear
the same message he says my brothers
consider it pure joy whenever you face
Trials of many
kinds knowing that see nobody saying
amen knowing that the testing of your
faith produces patience James one
two God give me patience with my kids
more trouble with your kids patience
comes by giving you trials sometimes you
don’t know what you’re asking God give
me patience
so God give God’s not going to give you
patience he’s going to give me he’s
going to give you
trials God I ask you for patience that’s
why more trials so you could really
exercise the patience and Peter tells us
that the difficult seasons are not going
to be Eternal or
forever after you have suffered a little
while he
himself will restore you establish you
they strengthen you and make you
firm oh this is beautiful in first P
first Peter
510 when I was younger someone told me
that God does not use anyone to a great
extent until he crushes
them I never like that I never like that
I never say amen I don’t like it I used
to
say and and I say God I want to be an
exception let me enter Faithfully into a
Ministry without feeling
pain you know that I am
sensitive I already
suffer but God doesn’t make
exceptions or you have to you need to go
through the tsunamis of life or you
don’t want to go a few years ago he he
did me very good by reading the
biography of the great preacher Charles
Spurgeon when thoroughly examine the
details of his life I noticed that
Spurgeon accomplished more in the course
of one life that most people could
accomplish in two lives even though he
died at the age of
57 he was young when he died a Spurgeon
suffer for prolonged bouts of depression
and
anxiety and his psychological ailments
was so paralyzing that he was often
confined to bet for
weeks between Crusades and Crusades and
service and service he
was B written for weeks this person came
to see those problems as a part of God’s
work in his life it was his
process I don’t
know maybe he had trouble he was very
prideful I don’t know what it was was I
don’t know why he had to go through that
okay I don’t know just hypothetical but
the truth is that his ailments let
him get strength to help people to
preach he reached broken people because
he was broken
himself when you think when someone that
says you are a sinner and you see that I
have anointing I’m perfect you feel you
feel rejection you think no that’s not
true
nobody here comes in in charts of
fire and you cannot second you cannot
empathize when you let people think that
you’re perfect that you don’t
suffer the spons came to see that the
promise his problems as a part of God’s
work in his life his sufferings enable
him to console encourage the many
hurting people in his
ministry and he noticed a pattern in his
life his Spirit of depression invariably
proceeded seasons of
blessings from upon God’s in his
ministry he knew that he suffer for one
purpose he know how his depression
attacks me whenever God prepares him for
a great blessing Charles Pon this
psychological fragile men published more
than 3500 sermons wrote 135 books and
still considered the prce of preachers
God always has a purpose for every test
life is not going to be easy if we do
not know Christ we enter battle with
weapons of
armor we fight with our own strength and
we fall in our faces why because God is
the only one who can help us When Trials
come but finally
here where Psalm 21 we find this miracle
the center of
it this is when we feel that it is time
to take off our shoes because we begin
to step on Holy Ground David pours out
his heart before God because of the
atrocious family problems that pled him
a tsunami that came and he didn’t see
coming he wish he was one of those
mocking and go to High
Ground he cries out to God because of
ter pain he feels for us a season like
this would be capable making us angry
with God and abandon the
path look my son is in
drugs look my girl is
pregnant or they don’t talk to
me he’s in a bad
life but
somehow in the midst of wounds and
suffering David’s prayer is
full of worship and
praise my praise will always be yours he
says let my mouth be filled with your
praise with your glory all day
long but I was always wait and I will
praise you more and
more the troubles get worse my mouth
will publish your righteousness and your
Deeds of Salvation all day long although
I do not know their
number likewise I will praise you with
sult
instrument I will sing your truth to you
on the harp on the ARP oh holy men of
Israel my lips will rejoice when I sing
to you my soul which you redeemed my
tongue will also speak of your Justice
all day long because they have been put
to shame because those who saw me wrong
have been
confused this is what the whiches to be
true
Christian you have problems how you
react to them this is how Christians
react in a broken family next to a
trouble of a life ruined by
death coming out of the tragic loss of a
loved
one a voice broken by Tears Rises
towards heaven in
Worship in Unstoppable
Worship in the obscene cruel
of a prison cramp in a totalitarian
Nation where God’s people are in prison
in a life without Health in which death
is the only certainty somehow against
all ODS as is her in the
darkness that’s what David did he
sang at the
trial not
before nor after in it but
during I was supposed to beg for
favors but he said I just want to give
you worship even in this difficult
season I’ve come only to worship
[Music]
you I’ve I’ve only
come to worship
you
every time we Face
trial God will give us a son for our
hearts I’ve only come to worship you
sing it your house
also I’ve only
come to worship
you
I have only
come to worship
you I have not
come to ask you for a
favor I have only
come to worship
you every time we Face a trial God will
give us a song for our hearts and the
song that he gives us will burst
into a beautiful
melody in the middle of the darkest
night you will never forget these
songs God look at my broken
heart sometimes we we don’t even feel
like worshiping it’s not like here on
Sunday that you want to
worship but during the trial you don’t
feel like worshiping a hospital at a
cemetery IC units you don’t feel like
worshiping worship is not you worshiping
your God but it will help
you so we’re doing that tsunami of
life don’t think that there’s
no there’s
no an army that could do
something your worship is an army that
will fight for you it’s about how you
sing if you’re a good singer or not
the heart is how your heart SS it in
most cases we don’t feel the desire to
worship worship is strengthen the soul
worship is the act of magnifying God of
enlarging our vision of
him his size does not change but our
perception of him does the closer we get
the bigger it seems we have big problems
big worries and big questions for this
very reason we need A Great Notion of
God it is God himself who gives us a
song in the night when it seems that
there is nothing worth
singing even those of us who do not sing
very
well Psalm 311 says you turn my morning
into dancing you took away my morning
clothes and dress me for celebration
so I could sing to you and glorify
you and not remain
silent I need to glorify I will not stay
quiet I will sing and Paul acts
encourage each other with
Psalms hymns and spiritual
songs sing Psalms hymn and spiritual
songs with gratitude to God in your
heart
some of our most tender moments with the
Lord have the mark of a song even at a
funeral or someone we
love worship consists of forgetting what
is wrong with our lives and remembering
the good that is in
God it’s like pressing the refresh key
in our computer restores the joy of
Salvation our spirit recalibrates
it renews our
mind one of the purest forms of worship
is to worship God when we have no desire
or Reason to do so because this shows
that our worship does not depend on
circumstances you are
worshipper Mexicans El Salvador Colombia
Dominicans I’m
Argentinian good or bad
government champions of world not but I
mean we were world champions

old but I was still a child who felt

God Victor Frank Jewish Holocaust
Survivor wrote about his experien in a
Nai concentration
camp the prisoners clothes pictures and
names were Tor off and they were given a
number however there was something that
they could not take away from us
everything can be taken away from a man
it said one thing the last of human
freedoms which is to choose his attitude
in the midst of
circumstances the most important
decision we make every day is choose our
attitude I’m not goingon to promise you
that your winter is over soon I will
teach you that the
worship will change the atmosphere the
worshiping God will change
you worship is a mind dominated matter
worship changes the spiritual
atmosphere and I don’t know when God
will change my assignment and I don’t
know for sure if he will but until God
gives me a new order I appropriate the
words of David in Psalms
71:18 even in all age and gray hair oh
God do not forsake me until announce
your power to prosperity and your power
to all who are to come have taken
David’s verse as my lasting marching
orders for the rest of my life unless he
tells me otherwise declare the power of
God to all generations who want to hear
me while I am alive on this planet I
want to worship His name and Proclaim
his power not only to our generation but
also to our children and our
grandchildren I want to
sing during the trials and to teach how
to sing to whoever wants to listen to me
I want to have I want to leave thousands
of messages like this recording a time
capsu for me while I’m no longer here
because I will be gone but the word will
continue to live and I will continue
worshiping God only on the other side of
the sun meanwhile I invite you to sing
with me during the
trial let’s celebrate let’s celebrate
the Lord of Lord and King of Kings give
hand of
Applause let the whole Applause as a
symbol of worship let’s sing come on

impressive Hallelujah
hallelujah how many receive this word
really do not give up do not give up do
not throw in the towel don’t ask for
leave of absence say God I will worship
you in the closet in the bathroom in the
car in the bus wherever you are I will
be a worshipper choose your
song If you don’t have one choose one of
these while you get your own
sing a song with a broken voice and see
how some of the spirits will
leave oh waren is you have no idea how
they will leave even though you don’t
know how to sing doesn’t matter I say
God here’s my heart choose that one song
sing it sing it you see how the air will
purify how the mind will be clear how
the atmosphere will be electrifying
your magnetic charges Divine magnetic
charges and don’t be
surprised if I Paul and Silas in in
Philippians singing God will start
moving his hand and so and the chains
will be broken and the jail will be open
and the season will end because only God
wanted to hear you sing God wanted to
hear you worship Him
impressive let’s raise our hands to
Heaven father thank you for this
