I THINK I’M GOING TO THROW UP...My hands and praise the Lord
I. Are You Sick?...
How many in here this morning have ever been
so sick of something that it made you want to
throw up?
I’m not just talking about being sick with the
flu and feeling like you need to throw up!
I’m not just talking about some sort of sickness
that makes you feel nauseated.
I’m talking about being sick of anything.
Roller coasters, Your spouses driving, Sea
sickness, etc.
Maybe you’re sick of a certain type of food.
And every time you see it, or every time you
smell it it makes you sick.
****Illustration****
(Things I Can’t Stomach)
Let’s face it this morning...
There’s just somethings out there that we can’t
stomach.
Like it or not whether it’s a certain type of food,
or a certain smell or whatever it is...
It makes you feel so sick that you actually want
to throw up.
It’s not abnormal.
Even God gets so sick he wants to throw up.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
I think it’s safe to say that luke warm
Christians make God wanna throw up. Amen?
He can’t stomach their half hearted attempt at
serving Him.
How many’s ever been sick like that before?
So sick that your body gets to a point where it
cant handle certain things or viruses or
ailments motions it responds the way nature
created it to respond.
It takes everything thats within you and throws
it right back up. Amen?
And how many knows that as soon as you
throw up…you always feel better…..
Well who came here this morning looking for a
blessing?
Maybe you didn’t feel so good about life this
morning,
But you just knew if you could make it to
church you could feel so much better.
Anyone here sick and tired of being sick and
tired this morning and you want to feel better...
Is your circumstance making you sick?
Is there anyone here this morning that’s sick of
the Devil?
Are you sick of the problems and troubles
coming your way?
How many got problems?
Well are you sick of the problems this
morning?
Are you sick of being in financial turmoil?
Are you sick of being afflicted and sickly in
your body?
Are you sick of ol’ slew foot trying to steal your
joy?
Are you sick of the enemy trying to kill your
children?
Are you sick of the storms of life?
Are you sick of the way the world is today?
And do you want to feel better?
How many in here have ever been let down
kicked around and over looked?
And you want to do something about it?
You want to feel better?
II. You Need To Throw Up...
PRAISE GOD YOU NEED TO THROW
UP……your hands and worship God.
No matter what your trouble is... Throw up
your hands and worship God?
When the going gets tough the tough start
praising God. Amen?
When the Devil is beating down your door start
praising.
When trouble comes knocking...start praising
When you feel like you can’t go no more keep
on praising God?
Because even though you might not be able to
defeat your enemy, God can. Amen?
And if you keep on praising Him He has to
show up in the middle of your circumstance,
Cause His word says He inhabits the praises of
His people.
He will show up!
God is not a man that He should lie!
He is faithful to do whatever He said He would
do.
And He will fight your battle?
He has already overcome,
And He’ll make an overcomer out of you.
Amen?
When trouble comes,When tests come, and
trials come...
We need to quit letting the fear set in...
We need to fight off those emotions that leave
us powerless to act on God’s Word.
And we need to just get sick of the enemy and
throw up our hands and worship God!
We need to start shouting the victory
And throw up our hands and start praising the
One who gave it!
We need to dance on the grave of the enemy….
Whatever your enemy is
Depression, Hurt, Anger, Fear, Failure,
Whatever the Devil uses to get at you!
You need to dig a spiritual hole..
And put up a spiritual tombstone by it…
And write your enemies name on it so the devil
can see it..
And then tear the ground up dancing on top of
it!!! Amen?
See your worship might not take your
problem away…..
It might not put the enemy in that spiritual
grave yard.
but it lets the devil know……I am back!
I’m not defeated! I’m not backing down!
