14th May 2023 All Age Service - Leticia Hermoso - Powered by Praise

Now okay here, well and good morning everyone. Because of you do not

know me, my name is and I have the privilege today to bring in

the world of God. And well, what an amazing word to one,

an amazing way to get started partowing this amazing time of work. She didn't

and praise a man. That was amazing. And I think that the Holy

Spirit is already just like that, plans in the atmosphere and getting us prepared

to receive what we have he want him and for everyone who is saying this

morning amen. So as human know, David Julian and pastors of our church

are away this weekend and in some of our leaders as well. But the

Lord he is here. He is the center of our meeting. And we

wish our pastors a good time, a family time today and in a liter

let's continue having the Lord Jesus at the center of our leading. So let

me get it started just for praying so and I think that we don't need

any much greater after the worship, but it's always important to you that you

pay us press to Father in the name of Jesus. We thank you for

what you are doing this morning, Thank you for that worship that you are

allowing us to bring this morning to you and help us a con in in

the same spirit. Thank you, Holy spirity, to be in the midst

you are living in our lives and also in this place. So Father,

as we had started already, help us to continue in the same spirit and

worshiping you, praising you, recognizing that you are our Lord of lords.

So Father, right now we dedicate this service this world, helping you the

leading exactly what you wanted me to be here. Also that world will touch

lives with transformance, with transformed songs. And Lord, that your kingdom moy

be extended on Earth in the minors. And then okay, well a few

days ago, I was watching a program in Netflix. Okay, it was

one of those TV shows that talks about the space and our planet, and

it was just amazing how they started. Of course, it has like a

bias into the scientific work. That's about a really great because well, the

science is the one that discovers how the world has learned everything, right,

and I am a scientist as well, so I'm fully pull into getting to

know all these things. But I was just watching the program and as they

were trying to make the connection between the space the universe and all what happened

and our planet Earth, the living creatures on Earth and how they were and

how it all depends, and it's like a combination of everything. I was

just simply amazed. It was just like that God. I said, well,

so we are so tiny in the universe. It is a planet,

so little like in compared to all the creations, but even so amazing to

discover how life and the diversity of plants and animals and human beings. And

it was just like the more I was watching, the more I was just

crassing the road because I believe, I mean, how really, I mean,

it's just like that having everything in one place like that program, looking

at the micro and the micro I mean the little things our little planet and

in the universe. And that was just wow me. And everything has been

created by our bog so and thinking of that, and they know that I

was going to be sharing today. And as you know, every month our

pastors, our pastor provides like a theme and the theme for this month is

powered by and we are going to be sharing different things, so we can

just follow all that samely. So for me today, think you know what

I was going through as I wanted to share with you. Powered by praise,

I mean, and we can feel how just the praise that we had,

the worship that we had, we were so empowering just to worship the

Lord and being his presence, and it was just amazing. Okay, So

that is how we are going to do. And I would like now to

go to one of my favorite songs, and it is the song one hundred

and fifty, and there's I could find a better place to go that has

concentrated in one single chapter all what is praised all about? Okay, well,

for sure that there are hundreds of other verses and chapters in the Bible,

but I really like this one. So let's go and just focus on

two verses. Why two? And he reads the Word of God like this,

Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary, Praise Him in his

minded heavens, Praise him for his sacks of power, Praise him for his

surpassing presence. And in those two verses, the sound is this in binding

us. It brains him in every way, shame or form, because God

is good. I mean, So let's really just again and think about it.

Praise the Lord, Praise God in his sanctuary, praise him in his

mighty heavens, praise him for his sacks of power, praise him for his

surpassing pradance. And the question here is why do we need to praise God?

Is dead? I really need to prince Gode, and that is I

really need to The question is why, and I think too important reasons why

we should praise the Lord? Number one, because he is gone, I

mean, he is Lord alone, and just for that scene, for reasons,

he deserves all our worship and praise. And then then the second one

is because of what he has done, because of what he is doing and

all what he will do, because he's the same Mores today and forever more,

okay, And because of all what he has done, and because what

he's doing our life and what he's been planning to do, that he deserved

the glory anymore. So consider those two responses to the nig why the question

why do we need to praise God? I mean, so let's just explore

a little bit. The next one that it is because he is God.

And as I was trying to veto next yet, I was trying to find

different things and options, I found this creature Ken Wilver that he had this

seventh piece that when I was really nice. So uncles are really interesting.

I think that's that find ofly it is how I mean, we can think

of our Lord and how he is amazing in his great et cetera. So

first of all, for the first pie was position because he is the old

man, and he's the alpha and the amina, beginning and end. He's

absolutely everything. He's anywhere, so position wise, he is God, and

well everything that we know has been made by him. Second, because he's

powerful, and there is no one else more powerful than him, because in

his power, in his power, he created everything, and we can see

the power of that creation in everything we see. As I was watching this

program and I was looking at the universe and just going to the planet Earth

and in the cliffs and the oceans and all what is in it, it

was just like that so power in us that he created all these things.

The creation is just showing the majesty and the powerful of our Lord. We

think about his personality, that's another pin, and just consider his qualities.

He's so good, he's a great dad. He cares for us, he's

righteous, he is gracious, he is compassionate, he has a lot of

mercy for every single one, and he loves every single one the same.

Okay, he doesn't make extinctions. And because we are tall or thin or

jobby, no, no, all, he loves us all exactly the same

way. So he has a great personality and we think about that. Wow,

that's amazing. So let's take around now for eminence. And he's over

all things because he meant all things, and we see him from time to

time. The song that says he has no rival, no equo, what

else you have one? Exactly yes, And that's exactly how he is.

He has no rival, he has no equo. He's the only one and

all these things and he makes him special and work day of grace. In

terms of provisions, we were praying last night, we really a Latin prayer,

and we were thanking God for inspiration because we can see how in every

single family, in every single situation, in every way, he has been

providing. He knows our needs. Even before we declare or we tell him

or we ask him, he already knows. The last night we were at

the beginning started with Matthew six thirty three that we just need to mean the

sick first. The kingdom of God and everything else would come to us and

we do need and that's the way he needs because he provides for everything.

Okay. And he provides not only our brother this morning was saying not only

the financial things, but he provides in every way. I mean, he

provides what our physical needs, what our emotional needs, what our spelter is.

He prelides for everything. So that is simply amazing. Now if we

talk about presence, his presidence, well we know that he is of the

presence. That means that he's everywhere and not all times. Okay, So

we measure ourselves in terms of day, night, the hours, et cetera.

For him, that doesn't make sense because he is I mean, in

a worthy thing in all day, nine hours, et cetera. He is

there. And I love this phrase that I endruded there. That's sometimes people

tells us I will be there for you. Okay, count on me,

because I am with you. I will hold your hand. I will be

And guess what after just a little one okay, the disappear they have been

learn more with us. The man, the one, the Lord is always

there. Okay. If he promises to be there, he will be Okay,

And that's something that we can count on. And preservation well or protection

people say as well, the Lord protects us, he destroys the will get

he deserves his people, and from time to time, the day to day

basis, we give thanks to the Lord for the things that we are aware

that he did for us on that day, but there are so many others

that we don't even notice. Perhaps we were going to crush, or perhaps

we were delayed or doing something and we get complained because actually I'm late,

or but we don't know in that delay was because the Lord was keeping us

from something that was going to happen to us. So that for us is

just trusting that the Lord is always looking after us. He's always protecting us,

and he will take also the people that want to harm us, I

mean, from our path. So that is also something that we can trust

that he is looking after us. So for that reason, for his God

and for all what we have heard, we can say, yes, he

is worth our friends. So let's go to the last one. The second

part we said is because of all what he has done, what he's doing,

and what he will do. Let's go to some one hundred and three

and our verse two to six. And I know this one as well.

The world of God is praise the Lord in my soul and forget not all

his benefits, who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. Two

only a couple of roles, but so much is in death again because he

forgave all of our sins, little to be the worst that we have done,

and even the ones that we are going to commit, he's already ready

to forgive. He has already compulsion. So and also he heals all of

our diseases. So he really wants us to be healthy and live one in

life and we just need to trust him. He can do everything in our

lives. So and we have seen so many times how praying and praising him

et cetera brings that him that we need. I mean, so this is

what he has done. And in our case as well, he has saved

us. He brought us from places where we didn't want to be before.

And the Lord has just live us the opportunity to have a new life,

becoming new creation, new creatures, and just that thing is just amazing for

us because it is just like, okay, if we had like a piece

of paper or scratch and scramble and everything is not another word. I'll give

you a completely brand new It's a paper being for you to write your story

for your repent, and we can find that story with the Lord to win

that we want to be in his time and that life can be just blessing

and blessing for ourslament. So that's the verse that I wanted to induce.

It well, the next one, even the verse with different some one hundred

and three. He says, who reveals your life from the feet and crowns

you? We draw and concassion. Who reveals your life from the feet and

crowns you we do all and contractionion. I believe that we all at second

point in our lives we have gone to a to the bottom of feet or

something, or a dark place for the desperation or perhaps being that's a very

snow hode, and perhaps I mean, we have faced that situation in different

ways, and mean it's different for everyone, but here the important thing is

that he redeems our life and he takes us from there. I mean it

just as he says extend his hand and said, come on, my child,

I mean time to get out of that place. I have something better

for you, I mean, and in that way he plans us with love

in much so and that is just so amazing, you know. That's the

other day. I was also watching the series The Chosen. I don't know

how many of you have already watched it. When he said that a woman

that was hot in thing, and I was just imagining her life when he

just hold her and said sing no more, and she was just affull in

love. I mean, that's a he was forgiven. She was I mean,

brought to a new life and said, Lord, and this is just

a randing thing. So at the same I mean had happened to all of

us, and you what is because the Lord has rescue us from different situations,

from different activities or things that some trub made us feel sad or desperate

or hopeless, but he crowns us with love and compassion. And the next

person on that same song, it says, who satisfies your desires with good

things, so that your youth is renewed like the evils? The Lord works

righteousness and justice for all being oppressed. So I was thinking the same thing.

I mean, independence of how our life is, the Lord will bring

us up there and I could think about also, meaning these few verses that

he might talk about depression and so many people who have been in different things.

I mean, he can give us new wings like the eagles. He

can just help us to fly again and kick off and have new NICs.

So the Lord is so amazing in that place that we just need to continue

considering him in all what he had done, what he's doing, and what

is going to do. And one did him for every part. Sometimes we

don't see what he's ahead, and we sometimes feel anxious because we don't know,

Okay, what is the next stake in my life or what is coming

next after I have just finished this job or this project or this situation I

have moved gone through, or I have no place, and we don't know.

And this is certain that uncertainty that sometimes an intense aware sleep away,

and sometimes we might be a line just to have the Lord. I don't

know how this is going to move forward, and I'm just stuck here with

certain things. But I just wanted to share with you that Saturday, Lord

knows it, and the Lord wants to take you out of that place.

Then don't get worried about what is coming, because it it comes from the

Lord. It has to be done, and he will provide, He will

guide us, he will show us his powerful hands and the only thing that

we need to do is trust him and praise him. And one of the

things that I would like to say is whenever we go into that piece,

whenever we go into that place, remember it is through worship and praise that

you will be powered. That you will be powered by to trust, to

renew your faith, to continue and just I mean having a life, will

hope, enjoy. So that is that chapter one hundred and sorry, this

is one hundred and three that we have, and Alisha not forget any any

of the benefits that it has been the Lord. The next one it talks

about again benefits of prison life. And I just wanted to take an open

event. There are plenty again thinking about he wan use your strength. Okay,

sometimes you feel weary, tired, or head off with things, et

cetera. But the Lord knows our strength and whatever you are, we need

to do. Christy, you need to see, you need to worship him

a man, and there are diverses. We are going to touch an open

event, but just to remind he even use your strength, and he will

use your mind. Perhaps you have heard that everything is in our mind.

With that thing of things, they go on and on and over and over,

and sometimes I mean, perhaps the problem is not that deep, the

sepation is not that bad. But because it is in our head, in

our mind, and our thoughts are coming into a place that we feel negative

or that we don't see the whole or the light at the end of the

tunnel, perhaps in that case we can just say, Lord, I really

need my mind how to be renewed. And he does. So let's explore

a couple of verses. So let's go to the next one that is in

second of Cointians are chapter twelve, verse nine, and this is in regards

to the strength. Okay, how he restores our strength and this verse freeze.

But he said to me, my grace is sufficient for me, for

my power is made perfectly reas. Therefore I will bout all of the more

black about my weakness, so that christ power may rest on. So his

grace is sufficient for you. His grace is sufficient for you, and for

you and for you. His grace is sufficient for each one of us.

It's just amazing. And then so he reviews our strength and there are been

more sat we have in the other's life, but we are going to touch

for your companion. So the next one that I was talking about in the

second or qualicians ten five, it's about you in our line. And here

there is no more powerful verythan this that reminds you that we have our puny

and that authority that comes from the Father. Just to take every pretty single

pot active and being a living to Christ. Let's do it. It says

really much arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God,

and we take cut in every free thought to make each obedience to die.

So next time that you are of the suddenly like, oh this is

not going well, think about it. No, in the Lord, this

has to go well, they said. But it's one that you're starting feeling

like that, Oh God, I'm getting a headache or something. With you

kid, you think, no, the Lord has healed me. The Lord

has done something for me. And I want to just share up very very

little testimony right now that happened there, younger. I suffered badly from migrants,

really badly, because the point that I even have to go to hospital

because it was that bad. I mean and I was just throwing miners,

very really bad. But there was a point in time that someone prayed for

me in one of the prusses that we had in Mexico, and it was

healed and I was healed and never again had the migrants at least or I

can say, fifteen years. And then all of a sudden, you know,

little things or something. It started like with the line that comes to

your eyes that it's an indication the migrant is coming, it's you. And

I've always panicked because when that happened, I completely lost the vision and the

headache and I had to be like a three days in the darkness really bad.

So I started panicking every time that that happened. And then one person

remind me, why are you panicking? The Lord has hit you. You

have to claim that process and the hint that you have got review that.

Let's start reviewing that. Okay, So no migrant can't come back to me

because I had been healed. So there is no space in market or migrant.

Well, this is what we were just sitting there in actually wonderful getting

ready to come here, and when the light started and what we have to

do started. I mean, the micro is coming, I would not be

able, not be to read what I'm wanted to share. I mean,

and the head is coming. And then again that boy said, no,

only be thanking. The Lord has hid it. So I just close my

eyes continue for in everywhere. As he would see the lights trying to become

larger, and I was resting the spit. He said, no, Micron

can continue, and then the light started going. This moment is water and

disappearance because when he hears us the enemy, we're trying to remind us and

we are still ill or that we still have a problem, but we just

need to blame for the blood of Jesus. Reminded that if he has done

it, he has done it, so we shall not allow the enemy to

us. And so that's why this verse is so powerful, because we have

to take every single tub and cut it to the obedience surprise. We just

need care, and that's why it is so important that we think and remember

the world of God and faster. They alwaychallenges us to memorize Versus and that's

how we can do it. Next is life. He gives us victory,

and he gives job and victory in all circumstances. Let's go and check Romance

eight thirty seven, And I love this funny. It says, no,

in all these things, we are more than a conqueror through him who loved

us. Okay, so are you basing a challenge? Are you basing a

problem? Are you are going to go into something an example or something you

have to declare victory? Okay, because victory comes from the Lord. They

we just need to bring whatever this person to say, Lord, I am

victorious, okay, I'm unconquered or already because you are in charge of my

life, my future and everything throw and why because he loves us? And

then so that's something that we remember. Victory comes from him. So that's

another reason why you need the place next one. Joy Sometimes it's difficult to

be joyful that when we turn on the news in the morning, we hear

we're here, we're there, issues here, corruption here, corruption there,

the inflation knows up. But now but now and all these things? How

can we be joyful every morning? Okay? Well, we can be joyful

because the Lord, the Lord is our strength, and the Lord always always

reminds us in his way, and this verse in reliance for forces rejoicing the

Lord always not a little, not when it not, not one day,

not last week, he says, always I would say it again. Rejoice.

Okay, yeah, So we need to remind ourselves that our joy does

not depend on the circumstances. Our joy does not depend on the storms that

we are seeing around us. Our joy does not depend on the news or

anything else. Our joy comes from the Lord, and he wants us to

be journey. Let's until, so, how should we praised him? We

have been talking that it is good, it's important have the reason why because

it's Lord, because what he has done and he will do. But how

we do that? How? What does that need to praise him? Embracing

him is really it is? It can come even just to the case sometime

to have just a chat with him, because he's always there way you for

us to come. And our days was so busy that sometimes we even forget

to say good morning, Lord, or to hang out here, thank you,

or sometimes it's just like I'm so busy. But he just gets so

happy when we educate and hunt for him to connect to say thank you,

even when we wait come in the morning the second before for the rest that

you gave me, and things like that and that is the easiest way connecting

with him, spending time with him. But of course we can go why

with the Lord he praises, it's wonderful when we see this one. I

got so joyed when he was just like a hired and hired and we were

seeing it and wanted to dance and everything, because yeah, that's how the

Lord flaps it. Okay, so one, so always have a playlist on

your own I phone or your iPad, or even just tuning in the radio

on the distance channel or putting in Harlem YouTube videos everything. It's just there

are so many amazing worship songs and we really thank for those who have been

sending the links chart you have been sending songs and enjoying the pan and everything

and even that. Yeah, yeah over there there always I mean it's master,

I mean sending YouTube links and everything or songs that are really really good

and it's hard to share because then that particular songs can I write to our

life when we need the boska. So don't stop doing that. Just keep

doing and you keep sending things. And it's not everybody has opportunity to listen

in that bad time. They will have aptunity later. But it is just

so good you share those songs and songs I mean thing the atmosphere, even

if there is like a fighting and really with someone else and the people are

fighting you, I mean, you just start worshiping the Lord. It's just

like the Lord starts findings in the hands, okay, and your soul,

your mind, everything. So the best way to fight the enemy is you

worship. Then pass. As soon as you start worshiping and praising God.

The enemy has absolutely no tying over your life, all your fund, over

your situation. So just praise me because then it's like a protection over your

life is coming with his work. And then let's go to some hundred fifty

that we started, but now let's go to three to fight that. That

is how the sun is teaching us how we shall praise the Lord, and

please here, praise him with the sounding of the trundet, Praise him with

the heart and art, praise him with churning sort of kimbrel and dancing,

praise him with the strings and bad So he was in you know, of

all the instruments that he perhaps got to know that all the time, and

of course now we know that they're a plenty more okay, but if we

can think of those, there are all sorts of instruments, and he is

advising us. Okay, just praise him with all the instruments that you have,

with all the dancing that you can't feel. And just if you are

on your own, okay, go do it. And you know and he's

watching, so you can do it. But even if someone watches what I

mean, it's great. Remember the King David when he was raising and dancing

and even as his wife thought, oh, this is mad, he is

crazy, he has lost his mind. But well he was just placing the

north. Okay, So again, just listen to music whenever he feels like

you need to get the Lord closer and helping, and he will take it

out of the next one says, praise him in the gash of symbols.

Praise him with the sounding like fis real love sound so so exactly he loves

when me worshiped him and he praised him. So that's how we should praise

him. And of course really the word and sharing the world. There are

so many ways that we give him the glory, the honor of the place

that he deserves in our life, and he will do the rest. He

will just do the rest. So the next is life is something that we

are going to be doing together. Okay, it's right in your health here,

Okay, it's not just me. So I'm going to read them the

part on the land, and we all are going to say what I want

to be doing. So if I ask you, are you happy? Are

you sad, feeling anxious, being victorious, feeling defeated, ras beeing cactive,

became free, pray, being exhausted, prism in sickness, being here,

and you cannot anything whatever you feel you're going and you feel the power

of the Lord of your life, your soul before your situation. Okay.

So the title of what being started today was powered and that's exactly how ri

as Christians should be. You should be powered by Russia, then praised,

because that's how the rod floss. Finally, my last one that it is

something that Charles Scourgeon has Britain, and I love it because it's like a

pamble to the last verse that we are going to do today. And this

is what Charles wrote. It says, do not all nature around me praise

God? If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe.

Do not the founder raised him as he drows like drums in the march

of the God of armies. Do not the mountains praise him when the wounds

or on their son is weighed inaugurationion? Do not the lighting write his name

in letters of fire? And not the whole air a void and shall den

I? Suddenly we counting up, We continu The whole universe is just shouting

the glory of our Lord. The whole universe and mountains, the trees,

the sound, the air, the wind, the thunder, everything is just

shouting the guard. How can we be tired, No way. We need

to praise them in every way, shape or home every day the powers.

So next one, the final one, then son is one, versis Yeah,

like everything that has read raised the noise. That's how it rains mm

hmmm, and are remedied. Yes, that's pressing the great thing that has

read. And then let's gray, Thanks great, and let's open the space

because I know we have to be human and honest, it is not always

busy. It's easy to say, but when we are in the middlew of

the stormy, it's just hard to behave. As we have just shared this

morning, So let's pray it now that the Lord will give us the confidence

to get closer to him, that he regard us, that he will forgect

us, that he will show us the way and show us even in front

we can't see the next to state your life, just the certainty that he's

taking care of that with you. So let's play, and as I will

play, if you are in need of a particular play, Let's come to

the lad. Let's go to it. Let's allow the Lord just to touch

our lives and encouraging each other. And we knew our mind, our strength,

our faith, our hope, our job. Is there any of those

that have have nation in need for you to get from the Lord? That

is the pace. Just let's go together. Let's come to the Friend and

thank you. Before you think thanks Lord, this morning. First of all,

we we wanted to recognize that you are Lord, that you are king

of kings, Lord of the man. Find remain that there is nothing before

you and nothing after the Lord. You are present everywhere, you are looking

after those at all times. You do not like us. You have given

promises you will never forsake us or I'm enough nor so this morning, you

just want to recognize, recognize who you are, your majesty, your powerful

stand upon, and you want just to pace you
