I Must!
Hab.2:2 [TEV] “The Lord gave me this answer, ‘Write down clearly … what I reveal to you…’”
We continue in our lessons from Habakkuk and John the Baptist; lessons about fine-tuning.
Lesson #5. I must write: You need to record the ideas you receive from the Holy Spirit. Hab.2:2 [TEV, emphasis added] “The Lord gave me this answer, ‘Write down clearly … what I reveal to you…” [emphasis added]. I suggest you take notes when God is teaching you. Do it the old fashioned way, get a journal and pen it down. On each page, outline three columns: (1) The Question I Read the rest of this entry
Keep Watch
Ps.73:16-17 [MSG] “When I tried to figure it out, all I got was a splitting headache until I entered the sanctuary of God. Then I saw the whole picture.” [emphasis added]
This was someone that was really confused about the world; confused about how wicked people are rich, and good people are poor. But all he got in return was a splitting headache. When you try to figure out the positives and negatives in your life all by yourself, you will just give yourself a headache. But this same person got into God’s Presence and clarity came with no headache. God shows us the whole picture in His Presence. What is that thing that will take you to the next level or the riddle that you need to solve? Ask God and Read the rest of this entry
Sing Songs
2 Kings 3:15-1 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. And he said, Thus saith the Lord…
We will kick off our time in God’s Presence today with worship. Do not rush over the words of this worship song. Deliberately engage your mind and imagination as you sing along:
“Lord, I thirst for you and I long to be in Your Presence. My soul will wait on You, Father draw me nearer, draw me nearer to the beauty of Your holiness. I will wait on You, Almighty God, in the beauty of Your holiness. And I will worship You, Almighty God, in the beauty of Your holiness… in the beauty of Your holiness” Read the rest of this entry
Will You?
Hab.2:3 But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.” [emphasis added]
Now that we have gotten rid of the challenges to fine tuning, we will turn our focus to fine-tuning and learn how to fine-tune from two prophets in the Bible – Habakkuk in the Old Testament and John the Baptist in the New Testament. Please read Luke Read the rest of this entry
Heart Affairs IV
“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]
Worship actually starts with what you cannot bring to God. Our hearts are ushered into true worship with the honest confession that we are empty. We cannot begin to enter and access true worship if we do not get to that honest confession that we are actually empty and there is nothing we can really bring to God. Worship does not start with what you can bring, it actually starts with what you cannot Read the rest of this entry
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
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
