(Music) PB: Hello, my
00:00:00.93\00:01:02.40
name is Dr. Carlton Byrd
and I'm the speaker director
00:01:02.40\00:01:04.23
of Breath of Life
television ministry.
00:01:04.23\00:01:07.00
Right now I'm standing on
the beautiful island of Bermuda.
00:01:07.00\00:01:10.53
That's right, Breath of Life
is in the country of Bermuda,
00:01:10.53\00:01:14.40
this wonderful island nation
of 20 miles long, pink sand,
00:01:14.40\00:01:19.20
beautiful beaches, palm trees,
it's just paradise on earth.
00:01:19.20\00:01:24.63
But when I think about
how beautiful it is, I say to
00:01:24.63\00:01:28.36
myself, God must have
something even that much
00:01:28.36\00:01:31.53
better for us because the
Word of God says, eyes have not
00:01:31.53\00:01:34.90
seen, neither have ears
heard the things that God hath
00:01:34.90\00:01:38.53
prepared for them that love him.
00:01:38.53\00:01:41.10
Heaven is going to be
that much better than this,
00:01:41.10\00:01:44.10
and while I can come
here and vacation, I can come
00:01:44.10\00:01:47.26
here and swim and jet
ski, we've come, Breath of Life
00:01:47.26\00:01:50.53
has, to preach the Word of God.
00:01:50.53\00:01:52.70
That's right, we're here
for their camp meeting and we're
00:01:52.70\00:01:56.03
preaching that Jesus
Christ loves us and he
00:01:56.03\00:01:58.96
is soon to return.
00:01:58.96\00:02:00.96
May God bless you as you watch
as we minister to you to tell
00:02:00.96\00:02:05.03
a dying world that Jesus saves.
00:02:05.03\00:02:10.20
? (Theme Song) ?
? Jesus is worthy ?
00:02:10.20\00:02:21.20
? oh yes, he's worthy
? ? worthy of all... ?
00:02:21.20\00:02:27.56
? (Music) ? PB: Our
motivation for keeping
00:02:27.56\00:02:32.16
God's law should be a
love relationship, not solely
00:02:32.16\00:02:35.60
religion, and this,
my friends, is where the
00:02:35.60\00:02:39.10
Pharisees had it all wrong.
00:02:39.10\00:02:41.16
The Bible says this man
was a Pharisee and it was
00:02:41.16\00:02:46.00
appropriate that if
Jesus was a man of God, it is
00:02:46.00\00:02:50.90
appropriate that Jesus should
be seen with a Pharisee in his
00:02:50.90\00:02:54.83
house, but not with
a lady of the night.
00:02:54.83\00:03:00.73
But what I want to know is
this, when I study the text,
00:03:00.73\00:03:03.66
if the Pharisee if supposed
to be so holy and if she's a
00:03:03.66\00:03:08.96
prostitute, how did this
woman get in the house anyway?
00:03:08.96\00:03:15.30
Why is she even
knocking on the door?
00:03:15.30\00:03:21.26
What's she doing in this house?
00:03:21.26\00:03:24.70
She's not holy, she's not
righteous, she's not pure,
00:03:24.70\00:03:29.83
she's been around the block,
she's messed up so bad that
00:03:29.83\00:03:34.66
even church folk knew who
she was and what she was about.
00:03:34.66\00:03:38.16
People knew her by what
she did and not by her name.
00:03:38.16\00:03:42.73
Where and what did
she leave to come there
00:03:42.73\00:03:47.30
in the first place?
00:03:47.30\00:03:49.10
How dare she mess up our nice,
clean, holy church with her
00:03:49.10\00:03:56.83
mess, her ankle bracelets,
her rings, her tattoos,
00:03:56.83\00:04:03.80
her urban,
seductive disposition?
00:04:03.80\00:04:07.76
Who is she to walk up in
our church looking like that?
00:04:07.76\00:04:14.60
How dare she set
foot in our church?
00:04:14.60\00:04:19.50
See, I have learned,
some people like the idea of
00:04:19.50\00:04:22.86
evangelism, they like the
concept of evangelism, they
00:04:22.86\00:04:27.26
like to give money to support
evangelism, send money to
00:04:27.26\00:04:31.73
foreign missions to help
people who are in trouble, but
00:04:31.73\00:04:34.66
don't mess up our
nice, pretty church
00:04:34.66\00:04:37.43
with your peculiar ways.
00:04:37.43\00:04:41.00
And that's just like some
church folk, they want to keep
00:04:41.00\00:04:43.93
the people out who
need church the most.
00:04:43.93\00:04:49.76
And then, she's a woman.
00:04:49.76\00:04:53.43
Most of the time in the
Bible women aren't even listed
00:04:53.43\00:04:56.16
in the genealogy.
00:04:56.16\00:04:57.96
She wasn't significant.
00:04:57.96\00:04:59.90
She's not important.
00:04:59.90\00:05:01.53
She couldn't vote.
00:05:01.53\00:05:03.13
She couldn't make decisions.
00:05:03.13\00:05:05.03
She couldn't lead.
00:05:05.03\00:05:06.36
Why is this woman breaking in
among all these important men?
00:05:06.36\00:05:12.80
And not only is she a
woman, considered a second-class
00:05:12.80\00:05:15.36
citizen, property of a
man, she's not even a good
00:05:15.36\00:05:18.63
woman. She's a prostitute.
00:05:18.63\00:05:22.66
But this woman comes into this
atmosphere against all odds.
00:05:22.66\00:05:28.36
I've learned that sometimes
it's hard to get to God
00:05:28.36\00:05:33.13
because of his people.
00:05:33.13\00:05:36.73
One day I told the Lord, Lord,
I love you but it's your kids
00:05:36.73\00:05:40.83
that get on my nerves sometimes.
00:05:40.83\00:05:42.60
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:05:42.60\00:05:44.96
Have you ever loved
somebody but you couldn't
00:05:44.96\00:05:47.50
stand their chiúdren?
00:05:47.50\00:05:49.30
Their kids were wild, rude,
disrespectful, throwing stuff
00:05:49.30\00:05:52.83
in the air, drawing pictures
on the wall, screaming, and
00:05:52.83\00:05:55.86
you're trying to have a
conversation and you're saying
00:05:55.86\00:05:58.10
to yourself, if I could
just have them for one weekend.
00:05:58.10\00:06:02.20
When I get through
with you your momma wouldn't
00:06:02.20\00:06:05.63
know who you are.
00:06:05.63\00:06:07.70
The woman comes up behind Jesus.
00:06:07.70\00:06:13.96
She knows according to the
customs of the time, she knows
00:06:13.96\00:06:17.13
that according to the
culture of the day she shouldn't
00:06:17.13\00:06:19.80
be in the room.
00:06:19.80\00:06:21.73
She knows that according
to the standards of absolute
00:06:21.73\00:06:24.03
scripture she
shouldn't be in the room.
00:06:24.03\00:06:26.53
A prostitute touching a priest.
00:06:26.53\00:06:30.30
When I was a little boy in
grade school they used to give
00:06:30.30\00:06:33.93
us pictures in school and I
remember one being a picture
00:06:33.93\00:06:37.56
of a living room and in the
living room there was a couch,
00:06:37.56\00:06:40.50
a sofa, a chair, an end
table, and then a refrigerator.
00:06:40.50\00:06:45.23
And the teacher would
then say, what's wrong
00:06:45.23\00:06:48.40
with this picture?
00:06:48.40\00:06:50.46
And they wanted to see if your
cognitive skills were bright
00:06:50.46\00:06:53.73
enough to discern
appropriateness and if you had
00:06:53.73\00:06:56.76
reasonable skills you would
circle the refrigerator to say
00:06:56.76\00:06:59.66
that this does not go with that.
00:06:59.66\00:07:04.76
What's wrong with this picture?
00:07:04.76\00:07:08.06
It's not Simon, he's a Pharisee.
00:07:08.06\00:07:12.63
It's not Jesus, he's
preacher, prophet and priest.
00:07:12.63\00:07:19.43
But let's just
circle the prostitute.
00:07:19.43\00:07:23.96
She doesn't have
any business in here,
00:07:23.96\00:07:26.13
but she's here anyway.
00:07:26.13\00:07:30.56
She cries.
00:07:30.56\00:07:32.23
I--I--I--know that by the
standards of your religion
00:07:32.23\00:07:35.13
I shouldn't even be in here.
00:07:35.13\00:07:37.40
But she's in here anyway.
00:07:37.40\00:07:41.66
Tears are faling
down her cheeks on him.
00:07:41.66\00:07:46.43
She does not seek Jesus' face.
00:07:46.43\00:07:49.26
He doesn't even have to look
at her and she doesn't try to
00:07:49.26\00:07:52.86
get his favor, she doesn't
want to get his face, she
00:07:52.86\00:07:55.56
doesn't seek his
hand, she didn't come
00:07:55.56\00:07:57.86
for a blessing plan.
00:07:57.86\00:08:00.46
Five ways to get a car, three
ways to get out of debt, 10
00:08:00.46\00:08:05.73
ways to get a husband.
00:08:05.73\00:08:09.36
She doesn't want a
blessing, she's just glad
00:08:09.36\00:08:14.03
to be in the picture.
00:08:14.03\00:08:17.00
She has no right to be in the
picture and so she falls down
00:08:17.00\00:08:21.03
at his feet and Jesus feels
the warm, salty sensation as
00:08:21.03\00:08:26.50
her tear ducts give way to
her emotional compassion, and as
00:08:26.50\00:08:30.10
the water breaks in her soul,
the overflow happens in her
00:08:30.10\00:08:34.13
eyes and drop by drop,
running down her face, cascading
00:08:34.13\00:08:39.13
on his face, his feet, are
the tears of a sinner's praise.
00:08:39.13\00:08:45.60
And she begins to praise
him in a conflicted atmosphere.
00:08:45.60\00:08:50.83
See, I've learned it's
easy to praise God when the
00:08:50.83\00:08:54.80
whole room is praising God.
00:08:54.80\00:08:57.03
It's easy to praise
God when folk are smiling,
00:08:57.03\00:09:00.93
happy and excited about Jesus.
00:09:00.93\00:09:02.26
It's even easy to clap;
even folk who have no rhythm can
00:09:02.26\00:09:06.86
clap when
everybody else is clapping.
00:09:06.86\00:09:09.86
But, friends of mine, it's
hard to praise God in a room
00:09:09.86\00:09:12.83
where you're hated.
00:09:12.83\00:09:16.13
It's hard to praise
God in a room where you're
00:09:16.13\00:09:19.03
being talked about.
00:09:19.03\00:09:20.36
It's hard to praise
God in an environment where
00:09:20.36\00:09:23.16
you're being criticized.
00:09:23.16\00:09:24.53
You don't have to be a
spirit-filled believer to be
00:09:24.53\00:09:26.96
able to sense when
somebody hates you.
00:09:26.96\00:09:32.40
People can be in a group and
you walk up to them and all of
00:09:32.40\00:09:35.40
a sudden they stop talking.
00:09:35.40\00:09:36.93
Anybody know what
I'm talking about?
00:09:36.93\00:09:39.03
You don't have to be born
again to be able to sense when
00:09:39.03\00:09:41.86
somebody doesn't like you.
00:09:41.86\00:09:44.33
Have you ever walked
in a room and you can feel
00:09:44.33\00:09:47.46
all the malice, the strife,
the hatefulness toward you?
00:09:47.46\00:09:49.90
It's enough to make you
turn around, go out of the room
00:09:49.90\00:09:54.26
and shut the door.
00:09:54.26\00:09:56.60
But there was something
in this woman that pushed her
00:09:56.60\00:09:59.80
over the top of hatred and
she said, hate me all you want,
00:09:59.80\00:10:03.80
but I've got to get to Jesus.
00:10:03.80\00:10:06.53
Jesus! Jesus!
00:10:06.53\00:10:09.80
And down at his feet she falls.
00:10:09.80\00:10:13.30
As she does, what only a
prostitute in Jesus' day would
00:10:13.30\00:10:17.43
do, she lets her hair down.
00:10:17.43\00:10:23.46
Tell your neighbor,
neighbor, sometimes I've got
00:10:23.46\00:10:26.96
to let my hair down.
00:10:26.96\00:10:32.66
I can't be
pinned up all the time.
00:10:32.66\00:10:35.63
I can't be bound all the time.
00:10:35.63\00:10:38.06
I can't always try to live
up to your expectations and give
00:10:38.06\00:10:40.86
in to you all the time.
00:10:40.86\00:10:42.26
Sooner or later I've
got to let my hair down.
00:10:42.26\00:10:47.33
I can't worry about what you
think, can't worry about what
00:10:47.33\00:10:49.93
you feel, I've got
to let my hair down.
00:10:49.93\00:10:53.76
Honestly, tonight I feel bad
about calling her a prostitute
00:10:53.76\00:10:57.23
or lady of the night, but
that's who she was, because
00:10:57.23\00:11:02.16
good women in Jesus' day would
have never let their hair down
00:11:02.16\00:11:05.23
because that was a
sign of being a prostitute.
00:11:05.23\00:11:09.13
But you see, she had been a
prostitute for so much less.
00:11:09.13\00:11:14.56
You all will get that tomorrow.
00:11:14.56\00:11:17.96
She let her hair down for so
many other men that were less
00:11:17.96\00:11:21.80
worthy than this one, that
when she saw Jesus she said,
00:11:21.80\00:11:27.46
if there were ever a man that
I would let my hair down for,
00:11:27.46\00:11:33.33
if you're going to do it
for anybody, you ought to
00:11:33.33\00:11:37.86
do it for Jesus.
00:11:37.86\00:11:38.70
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:11:38.70\00:11:40.66
You've gone after the flesh,
you've gone after people who
00:11:40.66\00:11:44.10
love you and leave you, who
forget you, who forsake you,
00:11:44.10\00:11:48.03
but if there's anybody worth
letting your hair down for,
00:11:48.03\00:11:51.73
you ought to fall
at the feet of Jesus.
00:11:51.73\00:11:55.06
I want to give Jesus
the glory, Jesus the honor,
00:11:55.06\00:11:58.50
Jesus the praise.
00:11:58.50\00:12:00.20
I want to praise Jesus.
00:12:00.20\00:12:02.36
I want to say, Jesus, thank you.
00:12:02.36\00:12:05.16
Thank you, Jesus.
00:12:05.16\00:12:06.43
So tonight, can a
prostitute say thank you?
00:12:06.43\00:12:11.70
Can an adulterer say thank you?
00:12:11.70\00:12:14.60
Can a thief say thank you?
00:12:14.60\00:12:16.93
Can a liar say thank you?
00:12:16.93\00:12:19.70
Can a gambler say thank you?
00:12:19.70\00:12:23.10
Can a cheater say thank you?
00:12:23.10\00:12:25.86
Can a drug addict say thank you?
00:12:25.86\00:12:29.66
Can a sinner fall down at
the feet of Jesus in front of
00:12:29.66\00:12:35.23
church folk, in front of all
you big folks, and say, if it
00:12:35.23\00:12:40.36
had not been for
the Lord on my side.
00:12:40.36\00:12:46.86
Where are my real people?
00:12:46.86\00:12:49.26
Where are my worshippers?
00:12:49.26\00:12:51.26
Where are the real praisers?
00:12:51.26\00:12:55.13
Because when I think of the
goodness of Jesus and all he's
00:12:55.13\00:12:59.80
done for me, my soul
cries out, Hallelujah.
00:12:59.80\00:13:09.63
Thank God for saving me.
00:13:09.63\00:13:10.60
You don't know
the cost of my praise.
00:13:10.60\00:13:13.10
Almost there, almost there.
00:13:13.10\00:13:14.23
Get ready, Martha, get ready.
00:13:14.23\00:13:15.66
Simon is standing over in the
corner, turning up his noise,
00:13:15.66\00:13:24.10
whispering, on the
Internet, writing little blogs,
00:13:24.10\00:13:29.93
expressing his religious
intolerance to her relational
00:13:29.93\00:13:33.50
behavior, and he even
questions Jesus' discernment.
00:13:33.50\00:13:40.36
If, the Bible said, he said,
if he were such a prophet he
00:13:40.36\00:13:47.50
should have known she was a
prostitute, assuming that he
00:13:47.50\00:13:53.60
meet God's heart on the
matter, that if Jesus knew who
00:13:53.60\00:13:57.50
she was he would
have stopped her.
00:13:57.50\00:13:59.96
But the Bible says that a fool
in his heart doesn't seem to
00:13:59.96\00:14:03.63
understand that Jesus is
omniscient, that Jesus is
00:14:03.63\00:14:07.40
all-knowing, that Jesus
knew the woman was coming before
00:14:07.40\00:14:14.20
she even knocked on the
door, and Jesus was waiting
00:14:14.20\00:14:18.80
for her all the while.
00:14:18.80\00:14:22.53
Look at your Jesus, waiting,
sick of being surrounded by
00:14:22.53\00:14:28.43
important people, he's waiting
for a sinner to hit the door
00:14:28.43\00:14:35.43
and let his or her hair
down and say, thank you.
00:14:35.43\00:14:40.96
Let me tell you why.
00:14:40.96\00:14:42.46
Because people who perceive
themselves to be holy are
00:14:42.46\00:14:45.93
never great worshippers.
00:14:45.93\00:14:56.16
Teach all the worship seminars
you want, but you'll never
00:14:56.16\00:15:01.26
worship God when you feel
like God ought to be happy
00:15:01.26\00:15:05.96
that you're here.
00:15:05.96\00:15:08.80
But when you know that you've
been to an earthly hell and
00:15:08.80\00:15:15.93
back, you slept around and
fooled around, you've messed
00:15:15.93\00:15:21.46
around and played around.
00:15:21.46\00:15:24.10
You should have been in jail,
could have been dead, could
00:15:24.10\00:15:27.16
have been strung out
there somewhere, should have had
00:15:27.16\00:15:30.26
AIDS or some other disease,
you should have been arrested,
00:15:30.26\00:15:33.86
but remember somehow God in
his mercy, God in his wisdom
00:15:33.86\00:15:38.00
let you have another chance.
00:15:38.00\00:15:42.96
I feel my help coming.
00:15:42.96\00:15:48.00
It'll make you want to praise.
00:15:48.00\00:15:52.06
Praise him in the morning,
praise in him the new day,
00:15:52.06\00:15:56.33
praise him when
the sun goes down.
00:15:56.33\00:16:01.46
This is for the people tonight
who've been through something.
00:16:01.46\00:16:06.03
So, last lesson, Jesus says
to Simon, seeth thou this woman?
00:16:06.03\00:16:17.20
Wait a minute, Lord.
00:16:17.20\00:16:23.83
Simon isn't blind.
00:16:23.83\00:16:27.76
What a crazy question.
00:16:27.76\00:16:30.73
I went to school with her
so I'll call her up to help me.
00:16:30.73\00:16:34.23
Paula, stand up, stand up.
00:16:34.23\00:16:35.40
Come right here.
00:16:35.40\00:16:38.83
Come on. Face the audience.
00:16:38.83\00:16:43.73
Face it.
00:16:43.73\00:16:48.33
Wouldn't I be crazy to say
to you, seeth thou this woman?
00:16:48.33\00:16:58.00
When I called her over
here, you're looking at me
00:16:58.00\00:17:02.96
and she's standing
in front of everybody.
00:17:02.96\00:17:06.23
You've got to see her.
00:17:06.23\00:17:08.40
And yet Jesus says,
seeth thou this woman?
00:17:08.40\00:17:15.66
Why did Jesus say that?
00:17:15.66\00:17:18.16
Jesus knows that sometimes
people can see but still
00:17:18.16\00:17:23.56
not know you.
00:17:23.56\00:17:27.73
I don't know if you have
the courage to do this or not,
00:17:27.73\00:17:32.10
but do me a favor.
00:17:32.10\00:17:33.63
Turn to your neighbor.
00:17:33.63\00:17:34.50
Could be your husband or your
wife, boyfriend, girlfriend,
00:17:34.50\00:17:36.50
son or daughter, but
turn to them anyway and say,
00:17:36.50\00:17:39.10
you don't know who I am.
00:17:39.10\00:17:40.66
I don't care if
it's your husband.
00:17:40.66\00:17:47.90
I don't care if it's your wife.
00:17:47.90\00:17:51.46
I don't care if it's
your son, your daughter.
00:17:51.46\00:17:55.03
I don't care if it's
your momma, your grandmomma
00:17:55.03\00:17:57.13
or your pawpaw.
00:17:57.13\00:17:58.86
You don't even know who I am.
00:17:58.86\00:18:00.13
You don't know
what I'm capable of.
00:18:00.13\00:18:04.13
You don't know what I did and
never told you, because we sit
00:18:04.13\00:18:08.30
up in church and we
act all holy, but everybody
00:18:08.30\00:18:14.23
in this place has a past.
00:18:14.23\00:18:16.50
Everybody is an ex-something.
00:18:16.50\00:18:19.26
Everybody in here has
done something in the dark.
00:18:19.26\00:18:23.26
Thoughts of carnality
have crossed your mind
00:18:23.26\00:18:26.86
in your life.
00:18:26.86\00:18:28.36
As a man thinketh in his heart.
00:18:28.36\00:18:31.13
Don't you point the
finger at somebody else.
00:18:31.13\00:18:34.76
You better look at yourself.
00:18:34.76\00:18:35.96
Seeth thou this man.
00:18:35.96\00:18:39.23
Seeth thou this woman.
00:18:39.23\00:18:42.06
You don't know me, but
this man Jesus, he knows me.
00:18:42.06\00:18:47.60
Hallelujah, somebody.
00:18:47.60\00:18:48.60
You better tell somebody.
00:18:48.60\00:18:50.70
He loved me
when I was unlovable.
00:18:50.70\00:18:53.90
He didn't wait until I got
right to love me, but he loved
00:18:53.90\00:18:57.23
me when I wouldn't do right.
00:18:57.23\00:18:58.63
He loved me when I
wouldn't act right.
00:18:58.63\00:19:01.53
He loved me when I
wasn't living right.
00:19:01.53\00:19:03.76
He loved me when
I was shacking up.
00:19:03.76\00:19:08.20
He loved me when
I was shooting up.
00:19:08.20\00:19:10.10
He stopped the
car from crashing.
00:19:10.10\00:19:13.50
He stopped me from dying.
00:19:13.50\00:19:14.86
He stopped me
from being destroyed.
00:19:14.86\00:19:18.33
And if none of you all will
praise, I will bless the Lord
00:19:18.33\00:19:26.20
at all times and his
praise shall continually
00:19:26.20\00:19:29.20
be in my mouth.
00:19:29.20\00:19:31.06
Oh, come and magnify the
Lord with me and let us exalt
00:19:31.06\00:19:34.56
his name together.
00:19:34.56\00:19:36.70
You don't know
the cost of my praise.
00:19:36.70\00:19:40.40
This is a sinner's praise.
00:19:40.40\00:19:42.63
So somebody who doesn't
care what anybody else thinks go
00:19:42.63\00:19:47.20
and praise him.
00:19:47.20\00:19:48.50
Go on and praise him.
00:19:48.50\00:19:49.73
From the rising of the sun
to the going down of the same,
00:19:49.73\00:19:55.16
the Lord is
worthy to be praised.
00:19:55.16\00:20:00.86
This praise is not for pastors,
this isn't a pastor's praise.
00:20:00.86\00:20:06.03
This praise is not for elders.
00:20:06.03\00:20:07.43
This isn't an elder's praise.
00:20:07.43\00:20:08.70
This praise is
not a deacon's praise.
00:20:08.70\00:20:11.13
This praise isn't for deacons.
00:20:11.13\00:20:12.73
Because if you think that you
are the title folks have given
00:20:12.73\00:20:18.30
you, you're not ready for this.
00:20:18.30\00:20:20.56
Because this is a praise
for drunks and punks, liars and
00:20:20.56\00:20:29.43
cheaters, whore
mongers and adulterers, thieves
00:20:29.43\00:20:34.20
and stealers, gamblers
and hypocrites, doubters,
00:20:34.20\00:20:37.36
legalists and gossips,
people who've been through
00:20:37.36\00:20:41.60
hell and high water.
00:20:41.60\00:20:44.96
So let the redeemed
of the Lord, say so.
00:20:44.96\00:20:50.36
Who cares how prim
and proper you are.
00:20:50.36\00:20:55.36
Say something.
00:20:55.36\00:20:58.30
Who cares how many degrees
you have behind your name.
00:20:58.30\00:21:02.23
Say something.
00:21:02.23\00:21:03.70
Who cares what side
of town you live on.
00:21:03.70\00:21:06.93
Say something.
00:21:06.93\00:21:08.56
Who cares what
your past looks like.
00:21:08.56\00:21:11.63
You better say something.
00:21:11.63\00:21:13.16
I dare you to say something.
00:21:13.16\00:21:15.36
Let the redeemed
of the Lord, say so.
00:21:15.36\00:21:20.23
Somebody may not want
to praise him but this is
00:21:20.23\00:21:23.63
not for you.
00:21:23.63\00:21:25.30
But somebody knows that
God forgave you so much and you
00:21:25.30\00:21:29.60
ought to give him
the highest praise.
00:21:29.60\00:21:32.63
Praise him,
praise him, praise him.
00:21:32.63\00:21:37.70
I praise him for what he's done.
00:21:37.70\00:21:40.53
I praise him
for what he's doing.
00:21:40.53\00:21:42.83
I praising him for what
he's getting ready to do.
00:21:42.83\00:21:45.53
Bless the Lord, oh my soul
and all that is within in me.
00:21:45.53\00:21:50.93
Bless his holy name.
00:21:50.93\00:21:53.63
Oh taste and see that
the Lord is good, his mercy
00:21:53.63\00:21:58.73
endures forever.
00:21:58.73\00:22:00.70
Praise ye the Lord.
00:22:00.70\00:22:02.96
Praise God in the sanctuary.
00:22:02.96\00:22:04.60
Praise him in the
firmament of his power.
00:22:04.60\00:22:07.76
Praise him for his mighty acts.
00:22:07.76\00:22:09.60
Praise him according to
his excellent greatness.
00:22:09.60\00:22:12.46
Praise him with the
sound of the trumpets.
00:22:12.46\00:22:15.10
Praise him with the
psaltery and the harp.
00:22:15.10\00:22:17.10
Praise him with the
timbrel and the dance.
00:22:17.10\00:22:19.73
Praise him with the
string instruments and organ.
00:22:19.73\00:22:22.50
Praise him with
the loud cymbals.
00:22:22.50\00:22:25.23
Praise him with the
high sounding cymbals.
00:22:25.23\00:22:27.80
Let everything, let everything,
let everything praise
00:22:27.80\00:22:36.36
ye the Lord.
00:22:36.36\00:22:38.83
Praise the Lord.
00:22:38.83\00:22:40.03
Praise the Lord.
00:22:40.03\00:22:41.36
Who cares if
somebody looks at you funny.
00:22:41.36\00:22:46.16
Praise the Lord.
00:22:46.16\00:22:47.70
Who cares if
somebody looks at you strange.
00:22:47.70\00:22:50.26
Praise the Lord.
00:22:50.26\00:22:51.63
They don't know
what you've been through.
00:22:51.63\00:22:54.13
They don't know how
you've trusted in God.
00:22:54.13\00:22:56.60
They don't know how God
has made a way out of no way.
00:22:56.60\00:23:04.26
Praise the Lord.
00:23:04.26\00:23:06.63
You don't know
the cost of my praise.
00:23:06.63\00:23:21.60
But God can love you.
00:23:21.60\00:23:25.20
God can love me.
00:23:25.20\00:23:27.63
Regardless of what I did last
night, regardless of what you
00:23:27.63\00:23:31.23
did last week, if you've
been washed in God's blood, you
00:23:31.23\00:23:37.60
have repented of your sins,
open up your heart and let the
00:23:37.60\00:23:45.63
Holy Ghost in.
00:23:45.63\00:23:53.43
That's the way to salvation.
00:23:53.43\00:23:56.10
Hallelujah.
00:23:56.10\00:24:00.06
You don't know
the cost of my praise.
00:24:00.06\00:24:08.23
Every head bowed.
00:24:08.23\00:24:11.53
Father, right now, there's
a man and there's a woman,
00:24:11.53\00:24:16.40
there's a boy
and there's a girl.
00:24:16.40\00:24:23.60
They've done something.
00:24:23.60\00:24:29.90
God, you're already
forgiven them, but they haven't
00:24:29.90\00:24:34.60
forgiven themselves.
00:24:34.60\00:24:39.33
There's someone else here
tonight, there is something
00:24:39.33\00:24:41.60
in their past.
00:24:41.60\00:24:44.20
Maybe, oh God,
they've been brought up
00:24:44.20\00:24:46.10
in this wonderful church.
00:24:46.10\00:24:49.80
God, you've done something
for them in their life and they
00:24:49.80\00:24:54.96
want to renew their commitment
to you and, Lord, they want to
00:24:54.96\00:25:00.53
break free, they
want to be liberated.
00:25:00.53\00:25:05.20
They really don't care what
people think or say, but then
00:25:05.20\00:25:08.43
they do care because, God,
their praise, their worship is
00:25:08.43\00:25:11.63
being hindered by what
they think someone is going
00:25:11.63\00:25:14.86
to say about it.
00:25:14.86\00:25:17.60
And so, Lord, tonight there
are people that fall in either
00:25:17.60\00:25:22.03
one of those categories.
00:25:22.03\00:25:26.16
But, Lord, this message
tonight was for them, to let
00:25:26.16\00:25:31.43
them know there's only
one name under heaven whereby
00:25:31.43\00:25:33.70
we can be saved, and
that's the name of Jesus.
00:25:33.70\00:25:41.80

my joy to preach the gospel of

Jesus Christ across the
globe, but principally from the
00:25:52.06\00:25:56.56
sanctuary of the
Berean adventist church in
00:25:56.56\00:25:58.56

gospel of Jesus
Christ, and Breath of Life

the sanctuary of the Oakwood
University Church in Huntsville
00:26:09.50\00:26:12.70
Alabama, on the
Campus of Oakwood University.
00:26:12.70\00:26:16.03
It will be the
same Breath of Life,
00:26:16.03\00:26:18.33
The same
preacher, The same gospel
00:26:18.33\00:26:21.00
of Jesus Christ, the
same channel, the same
00:26:21.00\00:26:23.63
station, at the same
time; Just a different location.
00:26:23.63\00:26:26.36
We solicit your continued
prayers, and support, as we
