Lyrics
I was reading this some years ago, Bishop Nelson, both Bishop Nelsons
Hebrews chapter 13, Monica, verse 5 says, "We should offer to God
Continually," Demetrius, "the sacrifice of praise. The sacrifice
Of praise is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name."
I thought, Johannes, that the fruit of my lips giving thanks to
His name meant to say things like, "Lord, I thank you. Lord
I praise you. Hallelujah." But I realized that what the writer was
Really saying in the original language, Dream Center, I taught you
This, that those two words, "giving thanks," is not literal. It is
Not a "thank you," Bishop Johnson. Those two words "giving thanks"
Mean to confess His name. Why is this so critical when we come
Into worship? Because when you say things like, "Lord, I love you
Hallelujah," you provoke the presence of God. But when you start
Saying who God is, you provoke the promise of God. I just taught
You something you've got to take back to church with you on Sunday
The devil wants you to stop at provoking the presence so that you
Leave feeling good but your life is no better. He doesn't want you
To move over into the place of confession because he understands
This. If you confess the name of the Lord, according to Romans
Whoever confesses or calls the name of the Lord shall be saved
You thought that word was the word for "redemption," but
That word "saved" is the word "delivered." How is this
Important to tonight? Because you could be sick tonight and
Start saying, "Lord, I love you," and feel the presence of God
But if you don't move to the next place and start saying, "
Lord, You're my healer," you never provoke the promise of God
I need somebody to open your mouth. The presence is here. We're past
That point. Now you need to provoke the promise. What do you mean?
Let me make it clear. Whatever you need tonight, you can find it in
His name. So if you have a shortage of money, you can say, "
Lord, You're my provider." Jehovah Jireh is what the Scripture
Calls Him. If you've been struggling in your mind and you're
Going in and out of depression and all of that, you can say
"Lord, You are my peace." And the very moment you say, "Lord
You are my peace," here's what happens. He takes you out of that
Depression, and He settles you in the place of your confession
The reason you don't have it is because you have not said it
I need you to open your mouth and decree the name of the Lord
You see how the devil want to mess with your mind like you're
Running out of words? You've got way too many needs to be standing
In here running out of words. You better open your mouth. You
Don't have to know the churchy words. Just get right down to it
"Lord, You're my healer. Lord, You're my peace. Lord, You're my
Provider. Lord, You're my companion. You're my company when I'm
By myself in the midnight hour. You give me wisdom. You teach me
You guide me. You lead me." Open your mouth and confess. Let your
Praise prophesy. Let your praise prophesy. Let your praise prophesy
Look at somebody. Tell them, "Let your praise prophesy."
Prophet Hall, we're living in a generation who is prophecy-
Thirsty because we have not cultivated our relationships with God
Via Holy Spirit, so the only time we hear from God is when we
Hear from a preacher, when the preached word should be an affirming
Word, a confirming word. Tap your neighbor. Tell them, "Let your
Praise prophesy. You don't need a preacher from out of town to
Come tell you something you already know." Y'all not talking back
To me. Look at somebody. Tell them, "You don't need a preacher
From out of town to come tell you something you already know."
