Prayer and Praise & Worship is a powerful thing and it can unlock our relationship with God in a very passionate way.
Passion for Christ is what we need more than anything in this world today.
Our lifestyles and self centered living has caused the church to grow stagnant and our spirits are frail and hungry.
The bible says that God inhabits the PRAISE of HIS PEOPLE!!!
He has promised to be ever present in our Praise to Him.
But it says also that we must worhsip Him in Spirit and in Truth, True Worship is Worship that comes from the deepest place of our heart.
Our truest worship comes from a heart that is passionate for His presence, but today we stop short of entering into true worship and allow the enemy to rob us of all of the benefits stated in God's word.
Psalms 47
Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
2 For the Lord Most High is awesome;
He is a great King over all the earth.
3 He will subdue the peoples under us,
And the nations under our feet.
4 He will choose our inheritance for us,
The excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah
5 God has gone up with a shout,
The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with understanding.
8 God reigns over the nations;
God sits on His holy throne.
9 The princes of the people have gathered together,
The people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted.
According to Psalms 47, there is power released when we truly worship God in Spirit and in Truth.
Our Worship moves God into action, Psalms 47:3 says He will subdue people under us and nations under our feet.
He will choose our inheritance for us, the excellence of Jacob whom He loves.
God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.....
Selah!!!
Psalms 5
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward [d]Your holy temple.
11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You [f]defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
Selah!!!
You know what that sounds like to me?
It sounds like a God that is moved to action for His people, motivated by their TRUE and PASSIONATE WORSHIP!!!
I don't know about you today but I can truly see how much we need God to pour out HIs Spirit once again on us, not only on His Church but in our nation, in our cities, in our homes and families.
We need the Hand of THE LORD to stay the hand of the enemy, satan who has unleashed an abundance of evil in our land today.
There is a spirit of hatred and violence that is trying to take over our country. Sin is BOLDLY lifting her ugly head, and our very future and the future of our children are at stake, not to mention the state of the church.
The enemy is attacking the church in full force, trying to shut it down and silence the voice of God in our Nation.
Hebrew 4:12
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Selah!!!
When we enter into TRUE and Passionate Worship, We can enter boldly into His presence.
His presence reveals our weaknesses and our own personal shortcomings as His word cuts away all that is unlike Him.
His Power thru His Word will forever change our hearts and our lives to make us more like Him.
The word of God is a discerner of our thoughts, all that you have hidden from others and kept on the inside cannot be hid from God.
He discerns our thoughts and knows the intentions of our heart.
God is not impressed with our half hearted words in prayer nor in worship, nor our unfelt utterances of His word.
What God is looking for is a heart that will seek hard after Him.
A heart that is full of passion for His Presence....
But today the church, the body of Christ is so full of distractions that we now have become poor and frail spiritually and the power of God is void in our lives and in our church's.
Yet the enemy is keeping us blinded to all that God truly has for us and desires to impart to us as His children.
Unfortunately we are too busy, living our life for us, excluding God, not desirous of the things of God, for we cannot even see all that the enemy has stolen from us already.
Hebrews 3
For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech— 13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as [b]by the Spirit of the Lord.
Selah!!!
Just as the children of Israel were blinded, the enemy wants to keep us blinded from the power and transformation that comes from being in HIs presence....
The power of the Holy Spirit unleashed in and upon us, will set The Bride Of Christ in it's rightful place and unleash the power of God to move in our lives and in our church's.
One thing for sure, It's going to happen....
It's already happening!!!
The Stage is being set for the GREATEST OUTPOURING of the Spirit we have ever seen...
God has been pricking my heart about writing this message for a while now, because there is a great multitude that never miss a Sunday in the house of God, but they do not seek to truly worship the Lord.
We go thru the motions but our passion has dried up and we put God on a time table, and when the Spirit tries to move, we cut Him off like a water faucet, when the Lord is beckoning us into His presence with truth and passion.
We need the hand of God to meet us where we are today.
We need the pruning of the Holy Spirit upon our hearts....
My heart is crying out " TAKE ME THERE "
Take me to the place where your peace and your love overflow, where my heart is set free from all shame and guilt chains are undone.
" TAKE ME THERE " " TAKE ME THERE "
Cause I wanna know what it feels like when heaven touches earth and I'm caught in between.
I wanna know what it feels like for
the glory of The Lord TO FALL on me....
" TAKE ME THERE " " TAKE ME THERE "
Take me to the place where your Angels never cease to CRY HOLY...
Where the elders bow down and cast all of their crowns at your feet....
" TAKE ME THERE " "TAKE ME THERE "
And you come, like a rushing wind, I can't speak or stand, just CRY HOLY....
And you come like a mighty wave overtaking me with your GLORY...
HOLY...HOLY...LORD GOD ALMIGHTY...
WORTHY KING OF HEAVEN!!!
God help us find a place of submission unto you.
Restore the Love and Passion in our hearts for you and for your Word and the hunger of your presence....
Let our hearts be convicted until nothing else matters except you and being in your presence, until we are filled overflowing with the Power of your Holy Spirit!!!
Until The Image we see of ourselves begans to look more like you.
HOLY!!! HOLY!!! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!
WORTHY KING OF HEAVEN!!!
