Let us come before his presence with Thanksgiving and let us shout joyfully to him with songs and we actually sing a song like that today about the shouts of joy let the people of God let them shout for joy let them shout for victory. [06:48]

We are shouting back to him our confidence in his promises that he has made to us, that's what it is. It's not we're not shouting because we've had a great week, we're not sounding because everything is going right, we're not shouting because there are no storms going on in our lives. [07:20]

We are shouting because the God who cannot fail, the God whose word created the universe out of nothing, the God that we have learned to love and trust, that God who has made his abode inside these earthen vessels has made promises to us. [07:33]

In the midst of our storm, instead of questioning his integrity, instead of questioning his faithfulness, we make the choice to shout his promises back to him. You have said, Lord, that no weapon formed against us is going to prosper. [07:47]

You told us that even though we have to go through flood and fire, we will not drown and the flame will not burn us. You promised us these things. You told us that we are kept in your hand, God, until the day we are deposited by your grace at the throne of Almighty God. [08:17]

We come in not necessarily living in the reality of being without trouble, but we come in in the midst of our trouble and declare God to be good and declare God to be faithful and say, God, no matter what comes my way, no matter what I have to face, no matter what trials that we have to endure, you remain faithful. [08:34]

He holds all power in his hand. He is the one who makes the Sun to rise in the morning and makes it go down at night. He holds everything in the palm of his hand. He makes promises which cannot fail. Thank God for his greatness. [09:29]

The day you came to Christ as your Savior, my Bible tells me that you were planted in the hand of God and there is nobody, there is nothing, there's no circumstance, there's no opposition, there's no devil of hell, there's no valley, there's no mountain, there's no trial, there's no difficulty that can take you out of the hand of God. [12:36]

You are secure in the hand of God, and maybe there's gonna be turbulence just like you're in an airplane that's not going to crash. You might have to go through turbulence, you might get bounced around, but you're still in the hand of God. [12:49]

He didn't promise that there would be no storms on the way. Now he could have stopped the storm before it even started, but he chose not to. Do you understand he's teaching us something through this? He could stop every storm in your life if he wanted to, but if he did, you'd probably forget about him and just go your own way. [22:01]

We must, you and I, have to say you are God. I put my life into your hands. I put my family into your hands. I put my children into your hands. I put my grandchildren into your hands. I put my health into your hands. I put my future into your hands. Everything is in your hand. [23:03]

Though we may get bounced around and though there may be no shortage of voices attacking the credibility of our God, yet your speech cannot be stood against. When you speak, it has to happen. You are the greatest God. There is no God greater than you. You are the Great God. [23:38]
