This is “Praise Is Out Purpose Part 2”. Lucifer was not always the devil; he was once the anointed cherub of praise, created to praise and bring glory to God. But he rebelled and was cast out of Heaven. Now, the devil wants to take out your praise because we took his place, and he knows the power of our praise. Will you release the power of praise in your life?

if you have your Bibles I’m going to ask
you to open them with me to the Book of
Ezekiel chapter 28 verse number 11
moreover the word of the Lord came to me
saying son of man take up a lamentation
for the king of tire and say to him thus
says the Lord now
uh there’s a section in this Study Bible
that I have a study Bible I’m reading
through right now it’s Adrian Rogers
Study Bible and he has a whole thing on
the side on the power behind the throne
it’s saying it’s the letter to the king
of tire but sometimes when you read the
Bible you have to understand
the setting and this is really talking
about Lucifer
these scriptures are talking about
Lucifer
when he was in heaven his name means
light bearer Lucifer one of the three
archangels
and this is what he says you were the
Seal of perfection
full of wisdom perfect in Beauty Lucifer
Satan was perfect and is
still I would imagine
perfect in Beauty he doesn’t look like
some horrible demon terrified perfect in
Beauty
you were in the garden The Garden of God
every precious stone was your covering
this is astounding
he had all of the stones that is
mentioned the Sardis the topaz the
diamond the Burl the the Onyx The Jasper
the sapphire all of those stones are the
exact same stones that were in the high
priest breastplate
Lucifer was in heaven light bearer he
was Heaven’s worship leader and he and
he had those stones
in his created beating and body
the next part of the verse says the
workmanship of your temples or
tambourines or percussions and pipes
wind instruments trumpets saxophone
anything that requires wind
to produce the sound
they were created in him they were
prepared for you
on the day you were created you are or
were the anointed cherub a cherub is a
singer the Cherub is an anointed Angel
singer
you were the anointed cherub who covers
I established you you were on the Holy
Mountain of God the holy of holies you
walk back and forth in heaven in the
midst of the fiery Stones you were
perfect in your ways from the day you
were created
until iniquity was found in you
I think it’s pretty astounding when you
understand that Lucifer was created by
God for a Divine Purpose and it was to
praise and worship and bring glory to
God
when I think about
how important praise is how important
worship is how that when Lucifer was
cast out of heaven
you and I the high priest in the Old
Testament would wear those same stones
on the breastplate when he would go into
the holy of holies because we are
Satan’s replacement we are Lucifer the
light bearers replacement when we sing
and when we worship and when we praise
and when we speak praise to God and
thank God and give him honor and give
him glory we are literally taking his
place
and I’m so thankful today that whom the
son sets free is free indeed
that we are liberated and we’re set free
but we are here for a purpose he did not
just save us to save us
as a matter of fact the Bible said in
First Peter chapter 2 and verse 9 you
are a chosen generation
you are a royal priesthood
you are a holy nation
you are a peculiar or special people in
the Earth
who’s he talking to the people who have
been washed and cleansed and saved by
the blood of Jesus Christ
and he says here’s why you’re chosen
you’re Royal you’re holy you’re peculiar
people he said that you would show forth
the Praises of him who has called you
out of Darkness into this Marvelous
Light that’s not just some figure of
speech he said there is one purpose for
which you have been saved now that you
are saved that in whatever you do in
life you give praise and glory and honor
to God you replace Lucifer with your
praise you don’t take the glory you
don’t keep it inside to yourself but you
give God the glory and you give God the
praise
there’s something powerful Lucifer he
was Heaven’s choir director he was the
worship leader in heaven
he until iniquity was found in him
and he was dismissed and he was demoted
and he was distance
from the Throne of God
and you and I sinned
in Jesus God put on skin and came down
and bled and died and carried a Rugged
Cross
to pave the way for us to come back to
him but when Lucifer sinned
God said you were banned
from the throne rooms I will never allow
you back there is no way back why what
did he do that was so horrible did he
murder masses of people
no
his sin was pride self-exaltation and
Rebellion that’s the inward sin but
notice this the outward manifestation of
inward pride and self-exaltation was of
the refusal to worship
see worship is not this out here that
you do on the outside worship is what’s
on the inside
if you don’t have any worship
do you have anything on the inside the
more you have going on on the inside the
more your outside wants to express what
you feel
what I want you to see is this when
Lucifer was cast out of Heaven one-third
of the angels went with him they’re now
demonic powers
but some of them the Bible said were
cast into a compartment of hell and this
is all in the book of Jude three things
happen
by example of what happened to the
angels that were cast out three things
happen to people who refuse to worship
number one the Bible said they were cast
down in the book of Jude they were cast
down they kept not their first estate
that of worship but they cast them down
into hell they were cast down when
people don’t worship
they get down
they get cast down
they get down
if you’re in a valley
you have to learn to praise your way out
of that Valley
you don’t have to live down you don’t
have to live depressed
I got things that if I think on those
things they’ll they’ll depress me
if I let my mind just think about it all
the time I can have the greatest
victories going on all around me and
Satan will whisper to me but that should
steal your joy but that should make you
sad but that should make your heart
heavy but that should worry you silly
and I’ve learned that if the enemy’s
trying to put me down all I got to do is
open my mouth and say I’ll praise the
Lord at all times his praise will
continually be in my mouth and you can’t
stay down if you’ll keep praising the
Lord
the second thing
that happens to people who refuse to
worship
is they get down the second thing is
said the Bible said and they were bound
with chains you get down
in the next part of that verse said and
they were bound with chains and then you
get bound you get down
and then usually people who don’t praise
the Lord and worship much
they end up getting bound
because what happens is they get down
and when they get down because everybody
goes through Seasons that of attack and
if you don’t learn how to praise the
Lord you get down and then when you get
down you start going back to the old
things that God sets you free from and
you end up bound
the Bible said it’s like a dog going
back to its vomit the Bible said when an
unclean spirit is cast out of a man
he’s left clean and swept
and if he’s left empty and he doesn’t
get filled up
that demon comes back with seven more
demons
and the state of that man is worse than
the beginning
you have to stay full of Jesus
you have to stay full of the Holy Spirit
you have to stay full of worship because
that’s the king so he got down
they were cast down
went just bound you’re just bound now
you’re picking up stuff that God set you
free from
and then the last thing is so important
and here it is
you see if you don’t worship this story
teaches us in Jude
Satan and Lucifer’s story
is if you don’t worship
because Lucifer refused to worship and
said I’m not going to praise God and
worship God anymore
one out of Three Angels joined him
if you don’t worship you encourage
somebody else to not worship
and it might be your children
the reason we have so many teen sickles
is because we’ve got so many popsicles
and you taught them how to throw a ball
and you taught them how to
kick a football and kick a soccer ball
and hit a golf ball you’re a wonderful
dad
but have you ever told them how to
worship by example with body language
have they ever seen you
[Applause]
suppress self exaltation and pride and
say I’m not ashamed to praise the one
who is stretched out
in agony
on a cross for me
and the lesson of Lucifer
is not only did he fall by not
worshiping
but it caused others to not worship
if I as a father and a grandfather
worship one thing I have
I know I know I can go to go go to
heaven with peace knowing I have
imparted worship to my children
they have experienced the power of
praise and worship
and we stand up on our feet
would you lift your hands
would you lift your voice
would you give him your personal praise
with your breath
would you take a moment and speak a
praise phrase thank you Lord I Praise
You Jesus I honor you Lord I magnify
your name
oh I praise you I praise you I praise
you I pray we give you all the glory
come on join me join me we praise you
join me worship team join me give him
all the glory give him your verbal
praise just for a moment
let’s just praise him because angels are
moving on your behalf praise him because
God is blessing our families even when
it looks like it’s not working and as
that song says even when it feels like
it’s not working God is doing something
for people who learn how to praise
because praise is our purpose praise
AIDS the angels in heaven there’s no war
between Satan and the devil but there is
a war between demonic spirits and angels
and we Aid heaven we get the vote with
our praise who wins the battle in the
heavenlies right now begin to praise the
Lord over the battle in the heavenlies
turning right now with the power of
praise
oh don’t you get shy on me up yours
you’ve got a lion inside
[Music]
if you feel down if you feel bound
if you feel like you’re not free and you
want to be get out of your seat at every
campus and come down to the front and
throw your arms up and begin to worship
the one who died and Rose three days

you a formula for victory this morning
