4:59 Speaker 1 You can worship silently in your heart and say nothing, but you can't praise silently.

5:06 Speaker 3 Dr. Tony Evans says praise is the outward expression of our worship.

5:11 Speaker 1 It is saying, I want you to know publicly how I feel privately.

5:16 Speaker 3 This is the Alternative Broadcast, featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans. In a world that celebrates fame and greatness, Even believers can find themselves idolizing things that inevitably fade. Today, Dr. Evans reminds us there's only one whose majesty remains unchanged and is deserving of our praise. In times we feel it, and in times we don't. Let's listen in as he lays it all out.

5:46 Speaker 1 Praise means to give adoration, to boast, to express superlatives with regard to something or someone. When we praise, we're extolling, we are advertising, we are promoting the goodness and the greatness of this person or this thing that we adore and adorn with our expressions.

6:23 Praise is worship expressed. you can worship silently in your heart but you can't praise silently praise is the expression of worship it is saying I want you to know publicly how I feel privately I want you to hear me talk about it speak about it sing about it advertise about it brag about it declare about it because it's so good and so much I just can't keep it to myself praise is worship that is expressed it is the visible and vocal declaration of the value of who God is what God has done and what we are trusting him to do and because we know who he is we got to talk about it because of what he's already done I can't keep it to myself and because of the uncertainty of tomorrow and the needs I know that are yet to be addressed I still have to talk about him because I need to him to go in front of

7:50 me, do some stuff. So when I arrive there, it's already been taken care of. Praise is the visible and verbal expression of the value of who God is for what he has done and for what we are trusting him to do. We all have an address. We can give the address of where we live. We can say, I live on on this number, on this street, and that is my home. That's where I live. God has an address. Because according to Psalm chapter 22, verse 3, it says the Lord dwells in the praises of his people. So if you want to know where you can locate God, it's at a street called Praise. And if you want to visit him, you got to hang out in the environment of praise because that is where he dwells in the midst of his people. I call it kingdom praise because Psalm 146 puts it this way. The psalmist and the Psalms are where we find the most concentrated expressions of praise.

9:12 psalm 145 rather says this it says i will extol you my god oh king i will bless your name forever and ever every day i will bless you and i will praise your name forever and ever great is the the Lord and highly to be praised. And his greatness is unsearchable. But Psalm 145 continues by making it a kingdom issue because he says in verse 12, to make known to the sons of men your mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting lasting kingdom and your dominion endures throughout all generations he calls him a king who runs a kingdom and he says and you ought to be praised he said not only says that you ought to be praised he says you ought to be praised every day that there should not be one day out of 365 that you don't get praised so that means he's not talking about sunday in church if you're doing it every day in other words praise is supposed to be a lifestyle and not an event it's not a place you go it's an attitude that you possess limited praise means you possess a

10:41 limited relationship if praise only comes now and then or in church on sunday it's because you got out a now and then relationship. Because people who know their God make praise a lifestyle. They make praise a way of being. So there is a expectation of praise. There is a request of praise. And then there is a requirement of praise if you want to stay connected to God on the highest possible level. Revelation chapter 4 verse 11 says, you and I were created for his pleasure. Ephesians chapter 1 verse 6 says, we were created for the praise of his glory, of his grace. So the reason why he wants praise was he created you for praise. So whenever you're not praising, you're not fulfilling why you were made in the first place. Now, we want people to praise us because we like the feeling of being recognized while God is giving you a little bit of what he automatically deserves and that is adoration and exclamation for who he is what he has done and what you and I are trusting him to do not because he needs it he enjoys it he enjoys the

12:06 the praises of his people it gets him excited it gets him juiced it gets him amped not because of a need but because of a joy and the joy of the lord in other words that's why the bible says the joy of the lord gives you strength because you're making him so juiced up at the excitement you have over him that he wants to react to it and you'll see what i mean in just a moment it so what i'm trying to tell you today is that praise is why you're here and therefore the more you give the more you are experiencing the reason for your existence because now you're connecting with the one who put you here for that very purpose how then do you praise a king what are you going to do for the one who is the creator of the universe he says if you're going to praise me then I expect he says for you to shout joyfully and I expect for you to sing joyfully that's what the song says so if you only show up for the sermon you haven't praised God says I want you coming here for me and if you're coming here for me I want to hear you sing I want to hear you mumble

13:26 shout joyfully to the lord he says i want to hear your voices because you're singing to me and i want to hear how you feel about me with the word you're singing i want to hear you declare it with your voice so you haven't been to church if you haven't sung because god says i'm here here listening to you, how you feel about me by the songs that were written concerning me. And I'm just in here waiting to hear you sing. Shout joyfully to the Lord. You ought to be in here, not only here, but he says he does it every day. So you know how we walk around the house singing those old school songs. You know, you walk around singing those old jams, you know, and you'll be having a good time singing to yourself. And he's saying, where are my songs today. I ain't heard you sing about me. Sing to me. You spoke about your girlfriend. You sang to God about your God friend. I ain't hear you sing about your God. Sing about your Lord. Sing about the one that you're depending on every day. I should be the one. In fact, I should be the first one you sing into because you're going to need me all day long. I can't hear you. He says, shout joyfully to the Lord. He says, how else do you praise him? He says, serve the Lord with gladness. serve the lord with glad don't be pouting when it comes to serving me don't be don't be serving me

14:52 with no bad attitude that's why when we ask you to choose ministry find something you're gonna like because god don't want you see you frowning when you serve it he wants you smiling let's say you went to a restaurant and you got a waiter what's the way the waitress is job to serve you but they come up here and they're chewing their gum now what you want what you want they take the plate and throw it down. Here's your food, here's your food. They're just throwing you any kind of service. They say, you ought to be glad I'm here. I didn't have to be here to serve you. You wouldn't go back to that restaurant. You know why you wouldn't go back? Because you're paying your good money and you don't want bad service when you're paying for good money. Guess what? Jesus has paid the price for your service. He's paid the price for your service on the cross and he don't want you serving him with a bad attitude and what a complaining spirit. He says, serve the Lord with gladness. He says, give thanks to him.

17:03 Speaker 1 The violinist, the famous violinist, he did a concert and everybody stood. It was brilliant. first concert, but it was brilliant and he walked out but they said encore, encore, encore he went back out he did a little encore he left more, more, more they wanted more, he went back out again did a little encore he went out this time he was crying the stage man said man they love you out there, why are you crying he said because because my master who taught me how to play he's still seated everybody else is standing up but he's seated and if he's not satisfied i've failed no matter how many people like me i know everybody here wants folk to like you but if god ain't applauding you if god is not saying i heard that praise i heard that i saw that service i saw that joy that heart If he's not standing, you're a failure no matter how many people are applauding you for who you are or what you have done. And praise is not just using the praise words. You know, we can become addicted to verbiage. You can get addicted to praise the Lord. God is good all the time, all the time. God is good. You can get into Christianese.

18:30 and you can you can say it because you're supposed to say it you know i want to thank god you know it can become the routine thing god wants our praise but he wants it authentically not just words being spoken but a heart expressing our value of him and that's where he lives and because he lives in the environment of praise if you hang out there you're hanging out where he he hangs out. So the challenge today, I'm challenging me and us to thread your day with praise, to let God hear your praise, to let prayer praise. And sometimes it's a phrase, sometimes it's a sentence. And then in concentrated times, it's sitting down and even making a list of count your blessings, name them one by one, count your blessings, see what God has done count your blessings name them one by one and it will surprise you what the lord has done and if you think of the ordinary things he's done and then the extraordinary things he's done then you can praise him and you can even praise him for what he's not yet done that's called a faith praise psalm 113 it says praise the lord praise oh servants of the lord Praise the name of the Lord Bless be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forever

20:01 From the rising of the sun To its setting The name of the Lord is to be praised Did you see that? From getting up to laying down He wants you to praise him As a way of living like you say thanks all day long he wants a praise to be part of our role part of how we operate why should we give him all that kind of praise verse four the lord is high above the nations his glory is above the heavens okay he way up there he says you praise him high high because he is high he says who is like the lord our god the only the reason you only praise him like this because there's nobody else like this so you give him what he uniquely deserves because who is like him who is enthroned on high king of the kingdom he's in charge of high oh wait man stay with me here i'm gonna give him high praise because he's in a high place but in the the high place he's in, he's enthroned. That means he's sitting on a throne way up there and I'm sending my praise way up there to where he is way up there, sitting on a throne where he rules as a

21:26 king over his kingdom. Now, why do I need to know that I need to praise him from the time I get up to the time I go to bed because there's nobody like him. He's sitting on a throne way up there. Why should I do all that? Now I should do it because he deserves it. I should do it because there's nobody like him. But he says if you do it, if you get your praise on as a lifestyle and then come together as an event, verse 6 says who humbles himself himself to behold the things that are in heaven and in the earth. He raises the poor from the dust. He lifts the needy from the ashy to make them sit with princesses, with the princesses of his people. He makes the barren woman abide in the house as a joyful mother of children. children praise the lord now i don't know if you caught all that so stick with me he says praise him praise him praise him praise him from morning till night i want you to praise him and then he says the one who you're praising is in charge because he's enthroned but when he hears is this praise? He humbles himself. God humbles himself when the praises are going up and he looks

22:56 at the situations on earth. He looks at your pain. He looks at your problem. He looks at your finances. He looks at your health. He looks at your circumstances. He looks at your situation. When the praises are going up, he bends down lower and humbles himself to pay attention to what your your situation is. See, everybody wants God to be in that situation who don't want to give him praise. But he says, if I ever hear the praise I deserve, if I ever hear the praise I have earned, if I ever hear the praise I am warranted, I'm going to bow my knee and listen more carefully to your situation, to your need, to your poverty, to your barrenness, to your hurt, to your difficulty and i will engage into your circumstance praise can address your problems i know you're asking me to solve it but why don't you praise me till i solve it i know you're requesting a solution and that's okay the bible says to ask but why don't you stir some praise up in there so that I know you're not just using me for the moment. You're not just coming to me because you want a quick fix, but you are praising me because of who I am. And when I know your praise is real, I'm going to get down and I'm going to look into your situation. If you don't

24:26 believe that's true, ask Paul and Silas in Acts chapter 16. Paul and Silas have been illegitimately thrown in jail. We're told it was at midnight. Midnight is when everything is gloomy. They're in shackles, in jail, in a bad situation. But in a bad situation, it says Paul and Silas sang praises to God. When nothing was going right, they gave glory to God. And when God heard their praise, it says he shook the prison. He got rid of the shackles and the prison door was open. They even led the jail of the Christ because when the praises went up, God joined them in prison. If you don't believe praise works, ask Habakkuk because he's dealing with a depression. He's in depression. He doesn't know he can live another day. He's discouraged. He wants to give up. But in chapter three, verses 17 to 19, Habakkuk says, though there's no cattle in the the star. Though there are no figs on the tree and there are no grapes on the vine, I'm going to rejoice in the God of my salvation. I'm going to praise him. Now, my situation has not changed. My circumstances have not changed, but God's going to give me hinds feet so that I can climb the mountain of my depression and get to the top of my situation because I'm going to praise him in the

25:56 the middle of my problem if you don't believe praise works why don't you check with joshua because he has to deal with walls called jericho some people are walled into a problem walled into an addiction he says walk around the walls one time for six days on the seventh day you walk around the seventh time but when you hit that seventh time you do a shout of praise i want to to hear everybody's voices go up. And the Bible says, and when they did a shout of praise, the walls came tumbling down. Did you know you can praise your way out of your addiction? You can praise your way out of your depression. You can praise your way out of your problem. He said, when I hear praise, I bow a knee to the problem and your situation.

26:45 Speaker 3 dr tony evans with some good news on the power of unleashing kingdom praise and we'll hear from him again in just a few moments but first i'd like to remind you to check into getting a copy of that special resource package i talked about earlier the complete unleashing the kingdom audio series along with tony's brand new unleashed book and bible study guide including exclusive streaming video lessons from Dr. Evans.

That's 1-800-800-3222 or online at TonyEvans.org. A popular declaration you may hear nowadays is, I'm living in my truth. But next time, we'll learn why people who champion that philosophy are selling themselves short and setting their lives up for failure. right now dr evans has a few important words to share with you salvation redemption and eternal

28:06 Speaker 1 life the bible says by grace are you saved through faith that is god gives it away but he won't let you buy it earn it or go to church or any other religious activity to try to make yourself worthy for it and as a result the bible says god gets the credit and the glory and we don't get to share in it, which is why he demands that it's free. Not only does this grace save us, but this grace sustains us. So even if you are already a Christian, but you're backslidden, grace is ready to kick in, if you will, and get you steered in the right direction once more. So would you go to God and ask him for the free gift of grace, which he gives away when faith is exercised? You say, believing that what jesus did he did for you personally this is not just generic it has to be personal salvation and personal restoration so you say to the lord i personally receive you as my savior or i personally return to you as my deliverer and i'm looking for your gracious supply to deal with my sin and to give me your salvation to follow up on what dr evans has been
