give an expectation that God’s gonna do
more with a bunch of us giving whatever

timber and then we will build God’s
house this is what I’m saying I want you

what am I supposed to give and then I
want you to gather those resources the

house together this is gonna be the best
year of our crazy faith offering and
December 15 I cannot wait for us all to
give together make sure you get this

do some crazy things as we give in crazy
thing I say this everywhere I go I said
in my church I believe that what the
Bible says life and death is where is in
the power of the tone life and death is
in the power of the tongue look at the
person to the left or to the right and
tell them life is in your mouth

[Applause]
I love to praise the Lord God is a good

pull that person down sit him down
[Music]
in the book of Acts the sixteenth
chapter
I’m gonna read verses 22 through 26 in
the New Living Translation back 16 22
through 26 now if you all see me pull
out my chapstick my church hates it but
I believe like chapped lips is a sin
okay so so I’m like I’m gonna do it now
so don’t y’all be like oh my god I can’t
believe he did the chapstick thing on
the stage I do it everywhere because I
just I think chapped lips are sin so I
start helping people out when you see
the lips chapped her brother all right
acts 16 22 through 26 a mob quickly
formed against Paul and Silas and the
city officials ordered them stripped and
beaten with wooden rods they were
severely beaten they were thrown into
prison the jailer was ordered to make
sure they didn’t escape
so the jailer put them into the inner
dungeon and clamped their feet in the
stocks around midnight Paul and Silas
were praying and singing hymns to God
and the other prisoners were listening
suddenly there was a massive earthquake
and the prison was shaken to its
foundation
all of the doors immediately took some I
see all of them immediately flew open
and the chains of every prisoner I was
thinking on the way here I was driving I
was thinking about the Word of God and I
was thinking about this toothpaste so I
had my wife go get some two-faced touch
somebody say I hope your breath smells
any shame to find somebody that looks
really sexy beautiful gruff state it’s
so I was thinking about this two-faced
and I don’t even like this kind but I’ll
think about this two-faced it was bought
for you to squeeze to get the toothpaste
out when you use it for a little while
the shape changes and if you’re anything
like me you try to put it back yeah
anything like my wife it just kind of
looks all like this
and my wife she doesn’t know that’s how
my wife’s looks right there so two-faced
was meant to be used the package was
meant to be squeezed was meant to get
every ounce out of but I hate when you
run out of toothpaste and if you got any
black in you
[Applause]
I mean you will work this down I mean
yes
[Applause]
I’m gonna need a towel to get this off
my hand but if I was at home out there
do dad listen to me the same thing that
came out in the end was the same thing
that came out in the beginning actually
the piece that came out in the end was
the part that went in first Paul and
Silas got squeezed and when they
squeezed him praise came out it’s the
issue with this whatever is in you is
coming out when you get squeezed if
you’re full of doubt when you get
squeezed doubts coming out of you if
vain words are in you I didn’t say
vulgar words or vulgar language I said
vain words vain words work against your
faith when vain words come out of you
that means vain words were already in
you if unbelief comes out of you when
squeeze happens then unbelief was
already in there but if praise is
already in you
if freeze is in you didn’t doesn’t
matter how hard you squeeze me and it
doesn’t matter what kind of pressure
comes on my life the mole you squeeze me
the mole praise coming out of it
wish I had a witness in here I want you
to just grab your neighbors shoulder and
just squeeze them and tell them get
prepared for the squeeze because the
enemy wants to rob you of everything
that belongs to you but you need to be
prepared to be squeezed and when you
squeezes you you got to lift your hands
and give God glory Oh God so what was I
going to talk about I wanted to add to
all of these faithless is a title called
crazy face I’m gonna give you four
things about crazy face number one crazy
faith is the kind of faith that offers
up visible vocal and victorious praises
unto God while you’re in the strangest
situations you don’t let the sit the
situation dictate to you how you’re
going to give glory its vocal somebody
shout vocal and it’s visible and it’s
victorious number two crazy faith flows
from your relationship with God you
can’t brag about who you don’t know
so if you’ll have no relationship we’ve
gone you can’t walk around tell my God
did this and God did that and if it had
not been for God on my side I don’t know
where I would be God is so good god is
so kind you don’t have a relationship
with him if you’re not doing that it’s
hard to brag about who you don’t know
but can I so notice on you if you start
bragging on him he’ll start bragging
right back on you somebody shout
hallelujah
number three crazy faith keeps the
attention on God celebrating who he is
over what he’s already done you’re not a
person that needs manifestation to give
God glory when you got praise II faith
you ain’t got the money and you’re still
crazy when you got crazy faith you don’t
have money to put the stage on but you
put the stage up there anyway believing
God’s gonna make a way out of nowhere I
wish I had somebody had just a little
bit of crazy faith in hit number four
crazy faith has a preset pattern
somebody say preset pattern what pattern
is that that is a Davidic pattern and if
you look in your Bible at sums 34 and
verses 1 through 3 and when I read this
if you got praised a faith catch it and
start praising him I will bless the Lord
[Applause]
his praise shall pun beware not just in
my hands not just in the feet but it’s
in the mouth
the Bible said continually what be well
then he said my one soul your soul is
your mind your will your imagination and
your motions everything about you that
cannot be seen starts praising God what
does he say it’s your fertility in my
mouth my soul shall make a with both
your inside start shouting your mind
starts shouting the reason why some of
you didn’t lose your mind behind that
boy that girl you broke her because your
soul was shout darlin come on the humble
shall hear thereof and bigger o magnify
the Lord let us exalt his name together
so this piece about praising faith
before we jump into that lesson in order
for you to get that we got to examine
how do we get it on the inside because
as a church we’ve been guilty of getting
it in our hands externally and we’ve
been guilty of getting it in our feet
externally but faith doesn’t rest in
your natural man faith rest in your
spirit and if faith is gonna rest in
your spirit that means you’re gonna have
to have a relationship with the unseen
realm that everything that you see your
faith can’t be built off of that because
the Bible says for we walk by faith and
not by sight so when we look at second I
believe it is Corinthians if you see
that second Corinthians 4
he says for we fix our attention not
only things that are seen but on the
things that are unseen what can be seen
only lasts for a time but what cannot be
seen touch them I say it lasts forever
that means when you’re walking by faith
you’re walking by a system that has no
end you’re walking by system that lasts
forever so you don’t see lag you don’t
see doubt you don’t see people that
can’t help you you see all the unseen
support that’s working on your behalf
you got angels clapping for you tell if
you go ahead go ahead go ahead go ahead
you got God go ahead go ahead go ahead I
see you working I see your side go ahead
go ahead the unseen and if I’m gonna
have a relationship with the unseen
I cannot out what I see to rob me of
victory and some of you are stuck there
because you cannot move beyond what
you’ve seen you have to build a
relationship with the unseen why is that
critical faith is unseen the Hebrew
writer says now faith is the substance
of things hoped for and the evidence of
things not seen
so faith is my unseen evidence the faith
that I possess comes from the unseen
realm so I need the unseen realm
I need this faith that comes from the
unseen rep to connect where it came from
I need what cannot be seen to fill me
from another dimension and so the enemy
will always place stumbling blocks in
your view to keep you from focusing in
the unseen realm and you need faith that
is the evidence of the unseen realm and
you need the word that cannot be seen
unless it’s made flesh in here so then
the word how do we get faith faith come
back and hearing God so when I start
dropping words from the unseen realm
into the natural realm I start holding
everything that God said I can have so
before I ever see it tell somebody
already
[Applause]
[Music]
I listen but Paul and Silas they already
had a relationship with the unseen Ram
and these three guys these two guys were
doing the will of God and the people put
the squeeze on him they got in trouble
for casting out the devil when they
casted out the devil it took away the
profits of the people in the country and
when it took away the profits the people
says oh no no no no that’s trying to
teach some new doctrine so the Bible
says a mob rose up against them and
turned them then the scripture says that
they took him stripped him beat him it’s
just that they took a jailer and threw
him down into a dungeon have you ever
been down he put it down in the dungeon
and the Bible says that they were in an
inner dungeon and when you get thrown in
prison at that time the inner prison was
beneath everywhere else so I’m already
in jail and then you go put me beneath
the prison you’re gonna put me lower
than everybody else all because I’m
preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ so
they snuck him down in there
sound man help me out for a second
because when they stuck them down in the
tunnel all the tunnel did was amplified
what was already
so where praise was just normal glory
glory hallelujah that’s old-school
[Music]
y’all don’t know they do well they
messed up because they put him down in a
tunnel so they took that praise that was
at a normal level and that tunnel
amplified their voice glory glory glory
Lord
[Applause]
so what was normal
got louder
how do we know that it got allowed
because the Bible said that there are
other prisoners heard of grab somebody
by the hand will prick let’s have a
little Pentecostal Church it and tell
little girl is getting ready to have the
five the next phrase that comes out of
your mouth
and tell them just because you feel down
don’t keep your voice down but tell them
the lower you feel the leather you
better get
[Applause]
now snacks that name about a hand itself
hallelujah
[Applause]
hold on be seated I almost lost it there
for a second engine but I’m gonna wait
for Matt three more minutes and then I’m
uncle head just let it all out can I get
four brothers to Chandler come on make
it four brothers come up here with me
real quickly quick quick quick quick
quick quick quick quick quick quick
quick quick quick quickly get out here
[Applause]
here’s what y’all don’t get not only
were they down in the dungeon but the
Bible says that they put stalks on their
feet which means that they couldn’t be
strong and no matter how strong
[Applause]
they were see here which we gotta
realize the stocks were like yoke it
bound them to what they were in so no
matter how much they were moved they
were yoked to something that was
strapped to the foundation now before I
go any further let me free a couple of
you right here just because I can’t move
these
[Applause]
don’t be naughty
[Applause]
and I’ve trained yet what’s going on
down here
disturbed what’s coming about it here so
ever my feet ain’t giving no glory
[Applause]
open your mouth
[Applause]
so I need you to see this be seated
[Applause]
because you got to look at this I got on
this nice shirt I got all these nice
pants I got on these Steve Maddens then
had his on stripped took the dignity
from them they may beat him to blood
came out of their body they beat him the
Bible says severe their so the street
that I possess
and I don’t know if I’m talking to
anybody in here and what you’ve been in
you felt like it’s beat the very life
out of you Paul and Silas could have
done what most people do I could have
done what most people do complain to God
what is this with midnight come on yeah
yeah it’s a point in the night where it
turns to day but it still looks like
yesterday
[Applause]
yeah gave me another chance but I feel
just like what I just got out of you
want me to give you glory but I still
feel the story I still feel the pain
from the story but you want me to look
into this day today and that like
yesterday never happened yes I want you
to give God glory for another chance yes
I want you to give God glory for another
opportunity yes I want you to bless the
Lord at all times
yes I want praise to continually be in
your mouth yes I want your soul to make
a bolster noise unto the Lord yes I will
couple to hear their omen v10 yes burn
somebody that will magnify the lord with
you yes
[Applause]
Oh Silas down in the stocks midnight
first thing I’m gonna tell you before I
go from bid name did you got to make
sure you have the right company of faith
[Applause]
who you choose to go through with is
everything I can’t go through with
somebody who don’t understand that
sometimes we just go through that I’m
saved and sanctified and sometimes I’m
still gonna go through and just because
I’m going through don’t mean I saying
that just because I’m going through
don’t mean I got something going on in
the back side of the mountain I’m just
going through Jesus had Peter James and
John and Paul hey Silas your company
matters why does that matter have BC to
give me a few seconds because when they
met as a council earlier in chapter 14
and 15 you’ll notice in the scripture
that he and Barnabas was together and
Barnabas wanted to take John Mark and
and and and then he got upset and he
says I’m not taking Paul says I’m not
taking John Mark with us you can take
him with you but John Mark can’t come
with me so you gotta have somebody
that’s willing to stand up and just say
no you can’t go I don’t care if you did
write a book in the Bible you can’t go
no no no no no why did he do that
because John Mark had run away from
previous trouble so Paul said I don’t
need anybody that is willing to run
because you got in trouble I need
somebody’s got enough faith to meet
trouble right in the face and say I’m
going forward I press toward the mark
[Applause]
so the company of your fate matters from
the second thing is that the challenge
of your faith
don’t let the challenge of your faith
keep you from having access to God as
soon as you run into a challenge you
close your mouth as soon as you run into
a challenge you lose your praise as soon
as you run into a challenge the first
thing that leaves you is your vocal
freeze and your victorious praise now
you sitting in church with your arms
folded and now you waiting on the praise
team to lift you up and now you waiting
on Pastor Mike to preach you up when I
heard the Bible says enter into his
gates with Thanksgiving and into his
courts with praise
you got a woke up in here in the front
of your challenge and have your hands
lifted anyway you blessed Willa if I got
to crawl in there I’m gonna crawl in
there if I got to roll in there I’m a
role in that then stops somebody say
midnight Paul prayed
Silas prayed Paul sang Silas saying if
it was a 21st century Paul he probably
said take the shadows
[Music]
Silas was promised a break every chain I
[Applause]
know some of y’all y’all don’t saying
that with me but when I came to find out
transformation sometimes it’s not what
you say it’s the fact that you got the
courage to say it it’s the fact that
you’ve got the courage to look at cans
and say I will live
and not time it’s the fact that you got
the fig you can look at your bank
account and say I’m not broke money
coming to me now you can look at a bad
marriage to say this marriage is
wonderful we’re living wonderfully we’re
living powerfully we’re living love you
can look at what’s not and say what it
is I’m gonna need your help we all help
me drama I’m gonna need your help will
you help me lose this what I’m will need
your help something start shaking I need

shook everything that was holding them
