Psalm 150:1-6 (KJV) Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his
sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
[2] Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his
excellent greatness.
[3] Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the
psaltery and harp.
[4] Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed
instruments and organs.
[5] Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high
sounding cymbals.
[6] Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the
Lord.
TOPIC- DON`T LET NOTHING OR NOBODY
KEEP YOU FROM GETTING YOUR PRAISE ON
WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY AND TIME WHERE SOME
FOLKS WILL TRY TO HINDER YOU FROM GETTING YOUR
PRAISE ON
AND THERE ARE SOME TIMES IN LIFE WHERE WE FIND
OURSELVES IN CERTAIN SITUATION
AND WE LET OUR SITUATIONS KEEP US FROM GETTING
OUR PRAISE ON
BUT WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT OUR BREAK THROUGH
IS IN OUR PRAISE
AND IF PAUL AND SILAS WAS HERE THEY WOULD TELL
YOU THAT THEY WAS DOWN THERE IN THAT PHILLIPIAN
JAIL CELL
AND WHEN PAUL STARTED PRAYING AND SILAS
STARTED SINGING -- GOD STARTED MOVING
NOW I NEED TO TELL YOU I GOT A PROBLEM WITH
PEOPLE WHO COMES TO GOD`S HOUSE WITH ROCKS IN
THERE JAWS
WALK IN MAD
SIT DOWN MAD
WHEN THE DEACONS IS PRAYING THERE MAD
WHEN THE CHOIR IS SINGING THERE MAD
WHEN THE PRAISE DANCERS DANCING THERE MAD
AND SOME OF THEM WILL HAVE THE NERVES TO SAY
THAT IT DON`T TAKE ALL THAT
BUT I DISCOVERED THAT THESE SAME ONE`S THAT
WON`T GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
THAT IF YOU CATCH THEM OUT AT ANNIE JANE OR THE
CABBAGE PATCH YOU CAN`T KEEP`EM OFF THE DANCE
FLOOR
AND THE FRIST THING THEY BLAME IT ON IS THAT THEY
HAD TO MUCH WINE
BUT PREACH BROTHER PAUL TOLD THE CHURCH AT
EPHEPHSUS. 5:18 (KJV) And be not drunk with wine, wherein
is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
AND WHEN YOU GET FILLED WITH THE SPRIT YOU
DON`T MIND GETTING YOUR PRAISE ON
BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW GOOD GOD
HAS BEEN TO YOU
HOW HE`S BEEN YOUR BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW HE TURNED YOUR
BURNING FURNACE INTO A FELLOWSHIP HALL
HOW HE DELIVERED YOU IN THE LIONS DEN
AND MADE A FREEWAY THROUGH YOUR RED SEA
YOU OUGHT TO GET SOME CLAPPING IN YOUR HANDS
YOU OUGHT TO GET SOME RUNNING IN YOUR FEET AND
SOME SHOUTING IN YOUR SPRIT
AND LET NOTHING OR NOBODY KEEP YOU FROM
GETTING YOUR PRAISE ON
BUT AS WE EXAMINE 150TH
NUMBERS OF
PSALMS
THE PSALMIST MENTIONS TWO SPHERES WHERE GOD IS
TO BE PRAISE
ONE BELOW, THE OTHER ABOVE
ONE ON EARTH AND ONE IN HEAVEN
AND Praise is giving thanks to God for who he is.
Praise is saying -thank you -for each aspect of his divine nature.
Our inward attitude becomes outward expression.
AND When we praise God, we help ourself by expanding our
awareness of who he is
AND the 150th
number of psalms show us what, where, why,
how and, who should praise God.
1
ST POINT --LETS LOOK AT What praises do
(1) Praise takes our minds off our problems and shortcomings and
focuses them on God.
(2) Praise leads us from individual meditation to corporate
worship.
(3) Praise causes us to consider and appreciate God's character.
(4) Praise lifts our perspective from the earthly to the heavenly.
AND IF I COULD BE HONEST WITH YOU RIGHT NOW
IT`S SOMEONE HERE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY WEAK
VOICE
THAT’S IN THE MIDIST OF A STORM RIGHT NOW
AND YOU`RE WAITING FOR YOUR BREAKTHROUGH
BUT YOU HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE THAT YOUR
BREAKTHROUGH IS IN YOUR PRAISE
2
nd POINT-- WHERE WE SHOULD PRAISE GOD
the psalmist called for praise to be given in the sanctuary the
earthly and the heavenly
firmament of his power—which illustrates His Glorious power.
EVERYWHERE YOU GO YOU OUGHT TO GIVE GOD
SOME PRAISE

rd
-POINT-WHY WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM
FOR THE WORKS OF HIS POWER AND ALL THE
INSTANCE OF HIS MIGHT
WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM FOR THE POWER OF HIS
PROVIDENCE,
THE POWER OF HIS GRACE---FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE IN
CREATION AND FOR THE GLORY AND MAJESTY OF HIS
BEING
IN OTHER WORDS IF THE LORD HAS EVER
DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE
IF YOU KNOW HIM AS A DOCTOR IN THE SICK ROOM
A LAWYER IN THE COURT ROOM
A COUNSELOR IN THE BREAVEMENT ROOM
IF HE`S BEEN A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATER
A LEANING POST YOU CAN LEAN ON
A PILLOW YOU CAN CRY ON
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
4
TH POINT- HOW WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM
WITH The sound of the trumpet— from its noble, cheering, and
majestic sound;
With the psaltery—a hollow stringed instrument; perhaps like the
guitar
And harp— another stringed instrument, played on with the hands
or fingers
Praise him with the timbrel— drums, and with the tambarines
And dance—signifies a fiddle in Welsh.
Stringed instruments—Organs—Loud cymbals—
5
TH POINT - WHO SHOULD PRAISE HIM
I HEAR THE PSALMIST SAY - LET EVERY THING THAT
HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD
IF THE LORD WOKE YOU UP THIS MORNING
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE
IF YOU WHERE CLOTHED IN YOUR RIGHT
MIND YOU OUGHT TO GIVE HIM SOME
PRAISE
IF HE PUT FOOD ON YOUR TABLE
CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK
A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE
IF HE`S BEEN YOUR BURDEN BARRIER
YOUR HEAVY LOAD CARRIER
A HEART FIXER AND A MIND REGULATORY
YOU OUGTH TO GIVE GOD SOME PRAISE
HAVE A BLESS DAY YOU`LL BUT I GOT TO GO
TO MY SEAT -- BUT I NEED TO TELL YOU
NEW LIFE
PSALMS 1 STARTS OUT WITH BLESS
PSALMS 150 - ENDS WITH PRAISE
AND IF YOU KEEP ON PRAISING THE LORD
HE`LL KEEP ON BLESSING YOUR MINISTRY
BECAUSE WHEN PRAISES GOES UP
BLESSINGS COMES DOWN
THAT’S WHY EVERYTME I TURN AROUND
HE KEEP MAKING AWAY SOMEHOW OVER
AND OVER AGAIN HE`S BLESSING ME
