0:00 You are listening to Waters Church podcast. Waters Church is a multisite, multigeneration community of faith on the East Coast of America. Now for a message from our pastor.0:18 Yo. What's going on, Waters Church? Come on now. I know I know y'all slept a little earlier. Y'all slept a long time. Amen? Are we0:30 excited for the word of God today? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yo, my name is Lemmy for those who don't know me. Let's try something different. On the count of 3, you tell0:42 me your name. My name is Lemmy. 3, 2, 1, and your name is? Jesus. Got that. Just playing with y'all. Yo, first of all, North Attleboro, would you please help me welcome all the0:54 locations starting all the way from Guatemala, Apollo Beach, South Carolina, Tiburton, OneSocket, Norwood,1:06 online church and pray dot com, North Idaho, would you please help me welcome all of them? Come on up. Amen. Amen. Y'all came to the 11 30. That means that we1:18 can be here for the next 2 hours. There's no plans. I'm playing with you. Somebody said, come on somebody. Somebody's hungry for the word of God. Yo, I've lost my voice. I don't know how, but I lost my1:30 voice. It was it was I'm a tell you why, because I was preaching my socks off on the last service. I'm about to preach my toes off on this 1 too. Listen up. I'm usually the guy that goes out back, and he's always, come1:41 on, preacher, pastor. Come on. Because the word of God is a double edged sword. So as we're listening to it, it is encouraging us, and we're being shaped, and we're being rebuked and we're being reproofed and we're being1:51 just edified in it. So please, if the Lord speaks to you today, give me a come on, preach it. Is that is that cool? Can we do that? Can you help me preach today? Come on. Come on, preach. Yo, I heard somebody. Come on.2:04 Yo, help me preach all locations. Would you please help me preach today? Amen. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Well, I'm gonna start with a confession. Oh, that's the first 1. And that is that I love2:16 food. I you probably thought I was gonna say something deep, but I love food. Food amen. Food is my love language. For some people,2:28 their love language is hug me and touch me and give me words of affirmation. For me, that's not at all. For me, it's food. That's what my wife knows that the best way is through the belly. Amen. Thank you for making that2:40 rice and beans every time. I see some crazy Hispanics probably over there. But listen, I love food. I remember, we actually went to Cancun about2:51 2 years ago. We're actually gonna be going to Cancun in about 3 weeks or so. But I remember I came back like 10 pounds heavier. I was eating everything. I was like eating and and doing whatever I could3:03 do, and I love tasting food so much. Actually, as a matter of fact, I remember going to Fenway Park couple years back, and I spent 45 I and not spent. I invested. It's3:15 all in your work. I invested 45 dollars on a ticket that it was to taste food trucks. And I went 1 by 1, and I would taste here and there, and I loved it. I'm like the my wife goes, you wanna go to3:28 what is it? BJ's? And I'm like, I don't wanna go, but they give the free tasting in the summer, so that's where you're gonna catch me. I've tried to play a couple tricks, like go out with my hat and then take my hat3:40 off and then go away going, you know? But anyways, I love I love tasting food. So if the Lord speaks to you to love language, let me send me a Chick fil A gift card, Chipotle gift card. My phone number is 5 0 8 2 1 5.3:52 Don't be don't don't be afraid to send me a gift card. I'm playing, yo. I'm playing. Laughter is good for the soul, isn't it? Amen. Amen. Well, anyways, I love tasting all4:04 types of food. I make my own seasoning. I do my own, like, own seasoning for the ribs. I do the coffee. I do the I I I put sugar. I put garlic powder, onion powder. So if you want some good food, you gotta hook up,4:16 link up with me. I'll give you the details. Talking about this food is making me hungry. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. So I'm talking about all these tastes of food.4:28 However, don't get me wrong. I have been to places where the food looks delicious, where the food smells delicious.4:40 But then somebody's laughing because you know where I'm going. But then I take a bite, and I'm like like my 8 year old, ew. Like, this is disgusting. And I've noted that everything that4:52 you see is not exactly what it is. And so I've been in places like that. And you know what? This pops a thought into my head. Food is not the only thing that5:04 you can taste. I'm just saying. And some of us have actually tasted maybe some bad interactions with some friends, some bad5:16 interactions with some family members, maybe some bad interactions with some or some bad pics in relationships. Uh-oh. You know, when you try to date somebody and then they're5:28 not exactly what they taste like. They're they're not. Hold up. Okay. Somebody said preach. Somebody I'm speaking to somebody today. But I'm just gonna explain it differently.5:40 So, you know, like, you you pick the wrong person. You know what I mean? But some of us have actually tasted hurt. Some of us have tasted depression. Some of5:52 us have tasted anxiety. Some of us have tasted hardships. Some of us have tasted sufferings. Some of us have tasted has tasted pain,6:03 suffering, and we could possibly all come to an agreement this morning that not all tastes are good and6:15 not everything tastes the same. Let me ask you. Let me bring you somewhere today this morning and and think about the foods then. Have you tasted something that is good?6:28 Something that you have truly, truly, truly enjoyed it? Or some things that they look good, but then the reality is they're not as good as they seem.6:41 Because because I I I I've been there. And while at church this morning, I love to extend to you an invitation. And it's not just an invitation,6:53 it's an invitation with a purpose to something that it tastes so real. It actually is not just a taste, it's something that is real and something that7:05 is actually good. Can everybody say good? Good. I heard 2 of you. Come on. Can everybody say good? Good. And it's something that's available, but it's available for those who7:17 want it. It's only available for those who want to experience it by themselves. It's only available for those who wants to go on a deeper level, and this invitation is7:29 found in the book of Psalms in chapter 34 verse through 1 8. Psalms 34 verse7:40 1 8. Now if you've been coming to Waters Church for a while or it is your first time, like, coming into the church or you've never heard of Jesus7:51 and and or you've been coming to Waters Church for a long time or you've been a seasoned Christian for over 45 years dedicated, I'm so glad that you're here. We're also glad that you're here, but I wanna give you some8:02 context so that we can all be together on the same page of where we're gonna be reading in Psalms 34 1 through 8. And so I wanna give you some background on somebody8:14 named David. I wanna make sure you listen. Can everybody say David? Alright. Now we first hear of David8:25 on first Samuel chapter 16. Context is that David gets he gets8:37 anointed and separated to be the next king of Israel. I say the next king because there was a king current king on the throne right now, and his name was Saul. Y'all went to8:49 Sunday school, and they were his name was Saul. The background on David is that David used to be a shepherd boy. So David used to take care of his father's flock, his father's9:01 sheeps all the way in Rehoboth in the farms. He used to take care of all the animals. And David, also like me, he was also a9:12 musician, and David played music. Not only that, but David was also a singer songwriter.9:25 And so, on first That was first Samuel chapter 16. On first Samuel chapter 17, he encounters a giant called Goliath. This is where we get the story9:36 of David killing the giant with the stone. And so Goliath used to be from Gath. And when Goliath was there and David killed him, the rumors started coming9:48 up. And then there were rumors because they were actually true, sorry. And there was a chanting that started, a little jingle that people started singing, and they were like, Saul kills his thousands, but10:00 David kills tens of thousands. I don't know how it went. They probably didn't have rap, but it was probably like, David kills 1000. David kills 1000. Saul kills10:12 1000. And it probably sounded like a mockery, but it probably wasn't a mockery. I'm just saying, the reason why I say this is because Saul hears of this, and he starts getting10:24 jealous. Somebody say he starts getting salty. He starts getting Salty. Jealous, and he starts getting envious of him. Does anybody have some haters? I got some haters10:36 too. And so the funny thing is that the bible says, I believe it's chapter 18 around there, that10:49 when Saul was tormented by an evil spirit that the Lord sent, David was the 1 who was called to play for11:00 him so that the spirit, evil spirit, will go away. And I remember talking to Patty on the last service. She mentioned to me, she's like, yo, remember that when the evil spirit came,11:13 David will be playing worship, and just the demons will just fly away because worship is powerful, because worship has power, because worship is something that we stand on. A of11:25 you maybe have seen me singing here, and when you see me and I'm going bouncing from left to right and I'm worshiping God, it's because you don't know where God pulled me from. It's because you don't understand11:37 that the experience that I've had with God, nobody can pay for it. Oh. My God, that's good. You cannot understand that when I come here, I'm singing to Jehovah Rapha. I'm11:49 singing to Jehovah Nissi. I'm singing to Jehovah Jireh. I'm singing to Emmanuel. The only reason why you can't get past father God and you don't know all the names because you haven't taken the time to know him. Oh,12:01 come on somebody. Back row, y'all better step it up. Row is on fire. I'm just telling you.12:13 It's because I've taken the time to experience him. I've taken the time to taste and see. And I'm telling you, he's real. I'm telling you that we12:25 serve an awesome God. Chapter 18, so David is playing the harp. I go like that because I'm assuming this is how you play the harp. And he's playing, and Saul is so jealous. He12:37 grabs a sphere, and he just tosses his at him, and he tries to kill David. And you know what's even so messed up about the story? Is that12:48 David, that's actually his father-in-law because he ends up marrying his daughter. So now think about life. How crazy it is. Not13:00 only you're being chased trying to well, he wasn't trying to get killed, but he was trying to stay alive. Staying alive. Staying that's probably why woah. Woah.13:12 Hold on. That's probably who what he was singing. David runs to a cave, and he runs to a cave to hide. And just there, guess what he's about to13:24 do? He's about to preach a sermon kinda like how we're about to do right now. Well, we already started preaching. But he starts preaching a sermon to about 400 people. First Samuel chapter13:36 20 second says like this. I wanna read it because I wanna make sure that I'm in the context of that. And everyone who was in distress so his friends and family joined him there. It says, and everyone who was in distress,13:47 everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter soul gathered to him. Kinda like here. I don't know about you, but I fit 1 of these categories in here today. And13:59 this is where we at at the cave. He's being chased, ready to get killed, And I don't know why he's about to preach a sermon kinda like I'm about to. This is where we are. Would you please stand up with me for the reading14:10 of the word of God? All locations, please. Awesome. I'm just gonna give you a heads up. I'm a shouter, and I love reading my word, and I don't read my word like, I will14:22 bless the Lord. I read the word. Cool? David says like this, I will bless the Lord at all times, and his praise shall continually14:33 be in my mouth. Whoo. My god. Should I I'm gonna stop right there for a minute. I will bless the lord at all times. Some of us won't even do it at14:45 all times. Cause we're so focused on our circumstance and we allow them to change who we are. You gotta gotta learn this dude was about to get killed. I'm pretty14:57 sure none of you, unless you've done something crazy, you're about to get killed. But he says, I will bless the Lord at all times, and his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Sometimes I just I just read the word15:08 like that because sometimes I just gotta take me out of what I'm feeling.15:11 Yes. Yeah.15:13 I'm a be honest. Confession that I didn't do to any other of the sermons. I don't wanna be here speaking this word this morning. But you know what I had to tell me? I will bless the Lord15:24 at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. That's what I had to tell myself. I'm a move on. My soul makes it boast in the Lord. Let the15:36 humble hear and be glad. Anybody humble this morning and glad that you're here? Did anybody enter his praise with thanksgiving this morning? Verse 3, here we go. Oh, magnify15:48 the Lord with me. Says, and let us exalt his name together. Verse 4, I sought the Lord and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant16:00 and their faces shall never be ashamed. Thank you, Jesus. This poor man cried and the Lord hurt me. Anybody needs the Lord to hear him this morning? Amen. Amen. And16:12 save them from all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him and deliver them. This is my favorite verse. This is what we're gonna sit for16:24 a while. Oh, taste and that the Lord is good. Because I don't think that was I don't think he was preaching and like, oh, taste and see. Imagine that, oh, taste16:36 and see that the Lord nah, nah. Nuh-uh. He was like, oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. He was like, oh, my God. You know, like the guys around the grill on fourth of July, when I went to my16:48 brother-in-law, I parked my chair right next to the grill. And I said, and every time I'll eat the picanha, the Brazilian steak, you know, because y'all Brazilian are probably like crazy, I was like, oh, this is good.16:58 Oh, taste and see that this steak is good. But he said, oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. This is coming from experience. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Let's17:10 pray. Dear God, Lord, we just wanna thank you that you are alive. God, we thank you that your hearts are being softened at this moment. We thank you that you will speak to us. Today. Lord, we need to hear you, Lord. Tame17:20 my tongue from anything that is not from you, God. Give us grace. Give us mercy. In Jesus' mighty name. Everybody says Amen. Amen. Take a seat. High 5 5 people and tell them I'm glad to be in the house of God.17:40 Alright. Alright. Church, I love to focus on verse 8. That little word, oh,17:54 that comes from experience. Old taste and see is not just a statement that David is making. Old taste and see is an18:05 invitation. When I read this text, David is inviting you and I to experience what he has experienced. David,18:18 you can tell that he had a deep understanding and a wonderful relationship with Jesus Christ and that he had experienced. This is just not a surface level experience, my friends. This old18:30 taste and see, this is something that he lived. You see taste and sight are 2 totally are are 2 things that are physical.18:42 It makes me wonder why he used taste and see. And you can tell that this comes from a personal encounter. He experienced it.18:54 Tasting and seeing are 2 things that we use on our daily lives. It's 2 senses that we use, and just like this physical senses, I believe that our19:05 spiritual faith is also a sense. Faith is a spiritual sense, and with it, we actually interact with the spiritual world.19:16 And to taste and see God is to stand here today and say, God, tasting and see you, it means that I'm gonna trust you. Tasting and seeing you, it means that I'm going to seek19:28 you. Tasting and seeing you means that I'm going to pray, that I'm going to commit to a relationship with you. Let me tell you, this dude was was being chased. He was about to get killed, but yet he still19:40 found the time to taste and see God. There are things in the depths of our lives today, which can only be understood by 1 thing.19:53 Not by words, but it can only be understood by experiences. Watch me, follow me because I'm going somewhere. I love having 2 daughters, which I feel bad for them because they're used20:05 for every single sermon illustration. And my daughters, sometimes they do crazy things, and sometimes they do great things. And my wife is just telling me the story, I'm like, babe, well, tell me the20:16 details. Well, tell me about it. And she goes and she starts talking. She's like, but babe, you just had to be there. Honey, you just had to experience it. There's things in your life that I cannot20:28 experience for you. These things in your life that you need to experience by yourself. Yeah. There's gonna be trials. There's gonna be storm that you need to experience by yourself, but you also can't forget that you20:39 gotta taste God's goodness by yourself. Let me cannot get you there. Pastor Tim cannot get you there. Waters Church cannot get you there. You need to get there yourself. And until you don't take the time to experience20:51 God and try it by yourself, you ain't gonna go nowhere. You're just gonna get stuck on a rock. But what did it drive David to talk about his experience? What level was21:03 he in? Now you might ask yourself and say, Lamy, I'm glad you're telling me about experiences. I'm glad you're telling me about David experiences, but how do I get there? How do I get to see21:15 God's goodness in the middle of my mess? Well, I'm gonna tell you how. Somebody say how. How. I'm glad you asked me because I was gonna tell you if with you or without your permission. You might say how, but I have 321:27 points and we're gonna get out of here. Today's a quick 1. The first point is I can taste God through trusting him. I21:39 can taste God through trusting him. Proverbs 3 5 to 6 says, trust in the Lord with21:51 all your what? Heart. Heart. And lean not on your own understanding, and in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight. I love22:02 this verse. The reason why, because this verse urges me to put my complete trust in Jesus Christ. To not put my trust in friends. I love my small22:14 group. Reason why I love my small group, because we're we're we're on different stages. We got some married people. We got some single people. And I love it because some of them go like, yo, my car broke this week. I22:26 need prayer, but I believe that God is gonna come through. Amen. These are the people that that I love to be around because they say, yo, my wall is falling apart, but I'm gonna see God come through. These are the people22:37 that say, you know what? God is still doing miracles. God is still working, and I love to have I love to see this because it's showing me that they're only dependent of God because of the experience that they've been22:49 through. You see, nobody can tell me that God ain't real. You wanna know why? Because I've experienced them for myself. I don't need nobody to tell me my beliefs because I have tasted and seen of his goodness. You23:01 know, when I was bad and I was doing things that I shouldn't be doing, you know who was still good? Jesus. He was still merciful. He was still giving me mercies. He was still fighting for me.23:13 That's why the word says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. You wanna know something? Because while we're in the future, God is still in your past working for you. Somebody. So23:25 That's so powerful. I'm sorry. I'm preaching to myself. You know, God is so powerful that you did stuff in the past that God's still clearing your name.23:37 Some of you are gonna get that. I'm telling you. Come on Friday night. I'm just don't come on Friday night. It's only for the teens. Now your friends cannot do a miracle for23:49 you. Only God can. Your friends cannot move mountains. Only God can. The Bible says have faith. If if you only have faith as the size of a24:01 mustard seed, it doesn't say if you only have faith in your wife. It doesn't say if you have faith in your girlfriend or boyfriend. Why are we so focused in this world when we should be focused on God?24:12 By doing this, we understand the importance of surrendering to God in the direction that's saying, God, I need you in every aspect of my life.24:24 By doing this, are acknowledging God's sovereignty. We are acknowledging submitting to God. We get to experience the assurance that God is gonna lead us on the right24:35 paths. My friends, I had a question for you. How many times have you tried for yourself? Online church, how many times have you tried for yourself? Look where it's guiding24:47 you. Just think about it for a minute. It's time to stop trusting your instincts24:59 cause they're not gonna get you anywhere. Amen. Amen. God is gonna show us humility, but we need to humble ourselves. We need to25:11 get a point that we totally depend on God. We need to recognize that his ways are higher than our own. Have you noticed that you only trust someone25:23 when you spend time with them? You notice that? Like front row, if I was to be like, yo, lend me 120 dollars. You might be like, I seen him on25:35 stage. I seen him hopping back and forth. He's cool, but do I trust him to win 120 dollars? Is he gonna pay me back? You might look at your wife and be like, is he gonna pay me back? But the reality25:46 is that you don't know my heart. Because if you were to lend me 1 20, I'll probably cash up your 1 50 back because I'm a giver. That's what God called me to be. And you maybe have helped me in a time of need, but25:58 you wouldn't know that because you haven't spent time with me. How many times do we not trust God for things that he can do way more above than any of your friends can do? But it's because we don't know26:10 him because we haven't taken the time to spend with him. I'm preaching to myself this morning. I'm telling you, we need to learn how to26:22 trust God. David really trusted God to be on a cave and still preaching a sermon when he should have been hiding, but you wanna know why he26:34 wasn't freaking out? Yeah. He might have been in fear, but fear and freaking out are 2 totally different things. But he didn't freak out because he knew who he knew who God was. He spent26:46 the time to really know who God is. Are we learning who God is? Are we learning who Jesus is? Are we taking the time? Which brings me to point number 2.26:58 I can taste God through praying. Can taste God through praying. You know what I love about this? The word prayer appears27:09 245 times in the Bible. What is praying? Praying is communicating. Prayer is speaking. I know that us New27:21 Englanders, let me not include me because I'm from Puerto Rico, and not everybody's a social butterfly like me. But I know that us New Englanders, we don't even talk to the27:33 person behind us at the Dunkin' Line or Starbucks if you're bougie. We don't we we don't talk to the people behind us because they're strangers. A lot of you can even27:45 pray out loud or haven't even dared to pray because you're treating God like a stranger. Let me tell you that if you knew the heart of the father, you only27:56 knew that he doesn't even like complicated prayers. To be honest with you, the perfect ingredient for communicating with God is not even28:08 the words, it's the heart. Some of you won't even communicate because you think that you have to be, oh,28:20 art God Rehoboth. Do you realize there, tickle my fancy too. Do you28:32 realize that we don't serve a complicated God? Do you realize that he's so simple? It doesn't take much. I don't talk to my28:45 kids like that. When I pray, I'm probably the most ghettoest person praying. And I'll be like, bro,28:56 I need you. Like, you serious struggling? I'm about to murder her. I'm talking about somebody else's29:08 wife, not my wife. I'm playing. I'm playing. But I'm just saying, I'm so simple29:20 when I pray. Why do we complicate our prayers? The most important ingredient is that. And in fact, I'm a teach you because I'm teaching you the house. This is what the Bible says in first Peter 5 6 7. It29:32 says, humble yourself. That was the first thing, humble yourselves. Therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that the proper time he made exalt you, casting all anxiety on him because29:44 he cares for you. Actually, this actually just reminds me of another passage, which I'm gonna paraphrase because I don't remember where it is. You Google it on your own time. But it says, do not be anxious about tomorrow29:55 for tomorrow has its own worries or something like that. But it actually in everything by petition and prayer, right, saw to pray. Why are we freaking out? We30:07 need to humble yourself. Then I I I wrote 3 words. I believe the first 1 was persistency. And the reason why I wrote that is because I want you to do go do your own research. Don't take my word for it. But Luke 18 130:19 8 is Jesus sharing with his disciples on how to pray and how to be persistent. And so the context of it is that there's a widow, there's a widow that she wants something granted with a judge and30:31 she's just nagging him so much that he's like, I just gotta give it to her. I just gotta give whatever she wants, I just gotta give it to her. Some of you don't realize that you are at the point of getting your blessing,30:42 but you won't get it because you've given up. Because you're not persistent enough. There's 2 different things. Let me just explain it. It's like if you're trying to date somebody, don't be30:54 persistent because you're gonna be a stalker. But let's put it in another context. A lot of you are expecting a healing, expecting a miracle.31:06 All it takes is belief and faith. Amen. But you know what even goes further than that? Takes maturity. You wanna know why it takes maturity? Because it means, God, I wanna experience you so31:18 much that even if I get your miracle or I don't, I'm still gonna worship you because you're sitting on the throne. That's another sermon. That's gonna be the next sermon when I get invited back if31:30 I get invited back. Humility, same chapter 18 9 14. How to pray? Well, there's this is the context of the31:41 pharisees going on the on the pulpit and saying, god, I fast twice a week. Lord, I don't even got Instagram. Say, Lord, I behave right. I do this thing correctly,31:53 not like them. That's not how you pray because they forget that the Lord is gonna exalt the humble. And those who are exalting themselves, the32:05 Lord is gonna humble them. Which side do you wanna be on? I can't see your face because I'm blurry, but now I can. Which side you wanna be in? First Thessalonians 5 17, I believe it is.32:18 Pray continually. That's how you pray. It doesn't mean that you have to be 24 7, Lord, I bless you, God, I believe. No. No. Prefer for you to pray 10 seconds a day than to not pray at32:30 all. You wanna know something? That's verse 17. The verse 16 actually says, rejoice on the Lord always. The reason why I'm up here and I get to make jokes and I do all this stuff is because I know32:42 the laughter is good for God's soul. He enjoys it, man. He actually when he sprinkled me a little bit of salt, he went extra. But guess what? You don't have to be32:54 like me. To be honest with you, I should be able to tell how big your God is by the way that you praise God. Yes. Yes. I'm telling you. Oh, I don't wanna go there. Should I33:06 go there? I'm gonna go there. If I got fired on Monday, write an email back and say, get him back, hire him back. I'm a tell you something. A lot of times in worship, as worship leaders, we see everything. And some of33:16 you won't even do like this. Some of you won't even give them all because you haven't taken the time to meet them. Because you only knew just by grabbing a33:28 piece of his mantle. You can get your miracle. Man, that's the same way that we pray33:40 to God, the same way that we grow with our spouse and our relationships. Oh, snap. I gotta go. Okay. Point number 3, I can taste God through worshiping. Let me tell you33:52 something. Worshiping is not limited to a specific time or place. Worship is not a style of music. Yes, we do listen to worship music, but worship is way more than34:04 that. You wanna know what it is? Worship is a lifestyle. Worship is living in obedience. Worship it34:16 is saying, God, God, I trust you. It's worshiping is saying, Lord, I honor you with my thoughts, with my actions.34:27 Because as you're worshiping God, you're calling his heart, but he's transforming you on the way down. It's it's like this. Sorry. It's like this. You're34:39 worshiping, he's changing you. As you step forward and worship, worship worship. I remember this, Patty. Worship transforms. There's sometimes that I don't feel34:51 like preaching. There's sometimes that I don't even feel like praying. But sometimes I just turn on a worship song. Yes. And even, you know, those those ohs,35:03 oh, those ohs from a song, sometimes they just changed my life. Like sometimes you all, your goodness is running after, it's running after me.35:15 Somebody and and sometimes I can't even say that, and I just go, oh, 0, I don't have words. But I know that worship changes the atmosphere.35:27 When David was on that cave, that's why he said, I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.35:39 Oh, taste and see was powerful. Romans 12 1 says, I appeal to you brothers by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable. I'm gonna I'm gonna35:51 skip there. Worship is about cultivating a genuine heart and having an intimate relationship with Jesus. It's about fully surrendering yourself.36:03 And I wanted to leave you with something on the way out about tasting and see God. And so I have my wife do something for me last36:15 night, and you can bring that out. Yeah. Thank you, bro. And my wife baked this beautiful36:26 bread. You don't wanna put your nose in it.
