Heart Affairs III
“They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh” Matt.2:11 [emphasis added]
The second striking thing about true worship from the above quoted scripture is that there can be no worship without total humility. They bowed down and worshipped a baby. You cannot come to God in worship and be full of yourself. Do they know who I am? Really, who are you before God? Nothing! And we have the privilege of worshipping the exalted Christ. They were worshipping the Read the rest of this entry
Heart Affairs II
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” John 4:23 [emphasis added]
God is looking for true worshippers! The people that will worship Him in spirit and in truth and I am praying that He finds you, in Jesus Name. True worship is worshipping God in spirit and in truth. Meaning, you do not only say I am loyal to You Jesus when you are in the midst of other believers. But when you get to your own house where no one sees you, you are actually loyal to Jesus. A couple Read the rest of this entry
Heart Affairs I
“… and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark… and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years” Rev.20:4
Do not be afraid of fire! As a Pastor, a couple of times people have to said to me ‘do not worry about this Jesus we will give you money’. Money for Jesus, is that not a foolish choice? Very foolish! I am not afraid to go through the fire because when I go through the fire there is a higher revelation of the Person of Jesus that I see. And I experience the companion in the fiery furnace – Jesus Christ of Read the rest of this entry
The Fire
“If it be so, our God who we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O King. But if not, be it knows unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up” Dan.3:17-18 [KJV]
You need to settle it in your heart that you will only bow your knees to God and God alone. So that no matter what you are faced with, because you have resolved in your heart to bow to God alone, that resolve comes through for you. Guess what, it is not when you face that temptation or pressure that the resolve kicks in. It has already shaped decisions you would have made in days past and in Read the rest of this entry
All About Worship II
“Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity (idols and idolatry); and restore me to vigorous life and health in Your ways” Ps.119:37 [AMP]
It all about worship! The devil said to Jesus all you need to do is bow and worship me. Now that may sound innocent. The three Hebrew boys [Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego] were faced with the same temptation. All you need to do is bow to the idol when you hear the sound of the bugle. Just bow, after all if you bow you will save yourself the flaming furnace and when you get home you will Read the rest of this entry
All About Worship I
“Get out of here, satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him” Matt.4:10
“Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.” Matt.4:8-9 [emphasis added]. This third temptation was the peak of the temptations for Jesus. All three temptations were all still about worship. The devil showed Jesus the glories and Read the rest of this entry
Worship Him!
“Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.” Matt.2:1-2
Over the next few days we will be learning about worship. It is my prayer that as we engage daily, the throne of our Heavenly Father will be established in our hearts and lives.
As a believer the act of worship is very significant. Some people love to pray and that is fantastic. I Read the rest of this entry
Rejoice! Help Is Here!
“…Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper” 2Chr.20:20
When Eli made that statement, Hannah’s response was, “Oh, thank you, sir!” she exclaimed. Then she went back and began to eat again, and she was no longer sad” 1 Sam.1:18. Hannah was no longer sad. But the problem is people fear evil significantly more than they accept good. If some mad man or spiritualist dressed in his regalia were to walk up to an average person and curses the Read the rest of this entry
Count The Cost!
“Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart” Col.4:2
“When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him. It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it. Don’t let your mouth make you sin. And don’t defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise you made was a mistake. That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved. Talk is cheap, like daydreams and other useless activities. Fear God instead” Ecc.5:4-7.
The Link
“When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it” Ecc.5:4-5 [NIV]
I have heard arguments, several arguments relating to Hannah’s prayer. Some people say the Bible says her voice as not heard so Hannah did not verbalize her prayer. And I say read your Bible properly. Eli sat and watched Hannah from a distance and he did not hear her voice. I am not saying he did but his conclusion was that she was drunk. These people that say Hannah did not say a word Read the rest of this entry
