Isaiah 6 chapter mention
-

-
What it is. When it takes place this
-

-
And I'll talk about the Dual nature of worship.
-
A dual nature of worship. and, We're actually going to see
-
here. a Theology of worship how of how God orders that worship.
-
We want to see. I like I said, we're that
-
worship takes place. We talked about what is worship.
-
How do we worship and this morning?
-
We're that worship takes place. Because it happened actually
-
takes place in more than one place.
-
And that's why we're going to talk about the Dual nature of
-
worship this morning. If you're able, you can stand
-
for the reading of God's word, where in Isaiah chapter 6, and
Isaiah 6 chapter mention
-
we're going to read Verses 1 through 9 Isaiah chapter 6.
Isaiah 6 chapter mention
-
Beginning with verse 9. God word says in the year that
-
King Uzziah died. I saw the Lord sitting upon a
-
throne high and lifted up. And the train of his robe,
-
filled the temple above him, stood, the seraphim, each had
-
six wings with two. He covered his face and with
-
two, he covered his feet and with two, he flew And one called
-
to another and said, holy holy holy is the Lord of hosts.
-
The whole earth is full of his glory.
-
And the foundations of the thresholds Shook at the voice of
-
him, who called the house was filled with smoke.
-
And I said, woe is me. Why am lost for?
-
I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people
-
of unclean lips for my eyes, have seen the king, the Lord of
-
hosts. Then one of the seraphim flew to
-
me having in his hand, a burning coal that he had taken with
-
tongs from The Altar and he touched my mouth and said,
-
behold this has touched your lips, your guilt is taken taken
-
away, and your sin atoned for And I heard the voice of the
-
Lord saying, whom shall I send and who will go for us?
-
Then I said, here I am send me. And he said, go and say to this
-
people keep on here and but do not understand.
-
Keep on seeing, but do not proceed with a spray this
-
morning. Father, we thank you for
-
allowing us to be here. Father, we thank you for your
-
word. We thank you, Father, for your
-
love Jesus. We thank you for your grace.
-
Holy Spirit, we thank you for your fellowship.
-
This morning, I just ask that you would allow us to see your
-
word. This morning allow us to see the
-
truth. Father, I pray this morning that
-
that will will be able to see and hear perceive and
-
understand. Father, not with the natural.
-
But let our spirit connect. Let us see your truth.
-
Your word and father, let it change our lives.
-
Amen. And amen.
-
You may be seated. Thank you.
-
So, our starts off in the year. That King Uzziah died. this is
-
significant, because We're going to actually relate Uzziah and
-
Isaiah this morning, King use that Uzziah your read.
-
You can read about him in second chronicles 26.
-
He was taken at the age of 16 and was made king of Judah.
-
And the Bible declares that he followed the word of the Lord,
-
that he followed the ordinances of God and that by doing that,
-
he reigned 52 years. And that he had an advisor by
-
the name of zecharia, which is not the same Zechariah that
-
wrote the book of the Bible, but that was his advisor.
-
The second chronicles, 26 verse 5, the word declares as long as
-
he sought the Lord, God made him prosperous.
-
As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prospers.
-
In verse 15 of 2nd Chronicles 26.
-
We read this for. He was marvellously helped.
-
Tell he was strong, this word marvelously is, is the same word
-
as extraordinary, so it wasn't an ordinary prospering that God
-
had given King. Uzziah, it was an extraordinary
-
Prosper, he was blessed above and beyond other kings.
-
During his time and why? Because verse 5 as long as he
-
sought the Lord, God made him prosper.
-
However, When you look at 2nd Chronicles, 26.
-
Verse 15. It says he helped them
-
marvelously in the very next verse.
-
We see the three letter word, b ut, but but, I've said this
-
before but when you look in the Bible and you see the word, but
-
I preached the message one time. Watch out for your butts.
-
Thank you. but watch out for your butts because in scripture,
-
anytime you see the word, but And it pertains to mankind.
-
It's almost always in a negative context.
-
But when you see the word, but relating to God, it's always
-
100% of the time in a positive context.
-
And here, it's not in a positive context.
-
It's in a negative context. Verse 16 of second chronicles
-
that says but What happens? Pride falls into Pride. and oh,
-
we're not going to take the time to read this this morning and
-
I've already been told and we want to eat before lunch so But
-
if we if you read that you'll find out that King Uzziah Irwin
-
that Pride came in. He looked around at all this
-
marvelous Prosper that God had done for him.
-
And he got look what I have done.
-
That's what Pride does. And he goes inside the temple.
-
And he is going to light, the altar of incense.
-
Now, it doesn't talk about this in scripture, but you can't tell
-
me that he hadn't thought about this in previous times.
-
This is something that he had this Pride had caused him to
-
think that he deserved to do this.
-
He was Raising himself up to a level, he had no right to be at
-
He had no right to be in the temple.
-
Doing what he he was doing. He was the king.
-
Yes, but he had no right to do what he was attempting to do.
-
Because that right was reserved to the priesthood that God had
-
ordained. And he wouldn't ordained to do
-
that. The priests were So he took a
-
sensor and he went in and he was going to light the altar of
-
incense and it says that the priest and beliefs 60 other men,
-
what could it may have been 80 I can't remember.
-
Now other priests that said these were Men of Valor all came
-
into the temple and withstood King Uzziah these were men that
-
you know, this was their King. But they knew their place and
-
they knew his place and he was out of place.
-
Why? Because of Pride, because Pride
-
was lifted himself up. You see, we can be tempted.
-
But if we don't have pride in her life that Temptation will
-
never turn into giving in to that temptation.
-
But when we give in to Temptation, it's an automatic
-
sign. There's pride in our life
-
because Pride gives us the ability to think I deserve to do
-
what I do when I'm tempted to do.
-
I deserve that I have the right to do that, that's what Pride
-
tells us and this is what happened to King Uzziah.
-
I have the right to go into the temple and do do a job.
-
Do something that I'm not, I'm not supposed to do, but I have
-
the ability because look what I have done.
-
And it kept said that King Uzziah got mad.
-
And that when he got mad, God struck him with Leprosy on his
-
forehead. And when this happened, the
-
priests all basically rushed out them, quickly, escorted him out
-
of the temple. By this time King Uzziah was
-
like, oh, I messed up. He's wanting to get out of the
-
temple and because of this Pride, He had leprosy the rest
-
of his life and had to live outside the city separate house.
-
Why? Because he allowed pride in his
-
life. or the Bible talks about the three sins that are common
-
to mankind, that is The lust of the eyes, the lust of the Flesh
-
and the pride of life. And we see it from the very
-
beginning of the Garden of Eden when he was manipulated by the
-
serpent. It says that she looked down the
-
fruit, she looked with the eyes, a list of the eyes and then she
-
saw that, it was good, the lust of the Flesh and then it was
-
good to make one lives. That's the pride of life because
-
it would have cause them to look what we have achieved now we are
-
like God So this is what Pride Does It causes us to move from
-
being tempted into the actual process of giving in thinking I
-
deserve that. It's okay for me to do that.
-
And we give in to that Temptation, that's what happened
-
in King, azaz life. And because of it, after all,
-
this marvelous blessing, he lost it.
-
Because fraud and read his life, he lost it, pride calls his
-
fall. So this was in the year that
-
King Uzziah died because that's significant from this from this
-
vision. Pride now had been moved out of
-
the way. And now God was given Isaiah.
-
This Vision Pride was out of the way King, Uzziah was out of the
-
way he died. And then it says here, That.
-
Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up.
-
And the train of his robe, filled the temple.
-
Above them with the seraphim said they had, they were
-
singing. Holy holy, holy is the Lord God
-
Almighty and said, they're very foundations of the threshold
-
shook by their Proclamation. Then what happens with Isaiah?
-
He's like, hmm. I'm not, I'm not right?
-
I'm not right. He says, I'm a man of unclean
-
lips. He realizes this through this
-
Vision, through this worship that has gone on, we're in
-
heaven. This worship that was going on
-
by these angels. Is a worship.
-
That's not Pride LED. True worship is led by humility.
-
Not Pride. True worship is led by humility.
-
True worship strips us. Of our selfishness King Uzziah
-
had that selfish Pride that I'm going to go and I'm going to do
-
this because I deserve to do this.
-
But not God. But not Isaiah God's teaching.
-
Isaiah true worship. King Uzziah is out of the way.
-
True worship is led by humility and true worship strips us of
-
our selfishness. The vision that Isaiah that
-
Isaiah received was meant to correct.
-
The false worship happening in the land among God's people.
-
I declare to say today that God is saying the same thing to you
-
and I there was a lot of worship that happens.
-
Let me rephrase that there is a lot of so-called worship that
-
happens in churches. That ours is not true worship.
-
Worship is not. What we did earlier where we had
-
our band up here? Singing songs and we were
-
singing with them, that's part of worship.
-
That's not just worship. Worship is more than a singing.
-
In this corporate water worship say. worship is the people that
-
come up before anybody else and fix breakfast for adult, Sunday
-
school, class, and other people that come in for Sunday, school
-
worship is the people that Come and greet you at the door.
-
Worship is the ones who helped take up offering.
-
Worship are the Sunday School teachers that are proclaiming
-
the word of God to you and your Sunday School classes, no matter
-
what the age group. Worship.
-
Yes also happens in here as we sung and we praise God through
-
song. But worship is also happening.
-
Right? Right here and right now.
-
As we are proclaiming God's word.
-
It's all worship. It's the ideal.
-
And that's what this whole series is about.
-
The ideal that worship happens. When we sing three or four songs
-
up here and then we sing at the end of service, and that's
-
worship. And that is wrong.
-
It's way it's way B. Worship is our lifestyle.
-
King Uzziah worship God. As long as he followed the Lord,
-
God made him prospers. Until Pride injured his life.
-
And I can God was given Isaiah this Vision to show him what
-
true worship was. The Angels were saying.
-
Holy holy holy this is ongoing worship that has happened from
-
the beginning of Eternity and it will go on and throughout the
-
rest of Eternity. Its own going.
-
Worship is ongoing. And when we gather Weekly in
-
this corporate worship setting. What happens is we experienced
-
the Dual nature of worship because worship is happening in
-
the Heavenly places, but worship is happening.
-
Right here in our, in this physical building, as we're
-
physically sitting here each week.
-
It happens in both places. So, where there is a dual nature
-
of worship. Every week as We Gather we're
-
doing what is already happened? Is already happening.
-
Has happened from the beginning in heaven as we worship God.
-
We're just like the angels that who cried.
-
Holy holy holy, we are just like them.
-
We come and we gather corporately as a corporate body.
-
This is eternal worship that we see here in this vision.
-
It shows us how warship was, how worship is and how worship will
-
be forever more? And we get to participate in
-
that. As we come and as we give
-
ourselves to God in Ark, when we going joined together in this
-
corporate setting from the time, we first step on this campus and
-
telling time we leave from the top from how we live our life,
-
because we're still a body. If you are a member here at New
-
Life Community Church, whether we are sitting in this building
-
or not, we're in Walmart or where work, or we're at home.
-
We're visiting a friend, we're still a body.
-
So, wherever we go, we're still a body.
-
Amen. We're still a body.
-
Yeah, weird together, right here.
-
But when we dispersed today, we're still a body.
-
We're still a body of believers. Now everywhere we go, we can
-
carry that worship with us. But as We Gather weekly in this
-
setting, My Bible. I don't know about yours.
-
My Bible says that where two or three are gathered together was
-
a say, Jesus said, I'm in the Mist.
-
Now, you can believe that or not, I choose to believe that.
-
So, when we in this corporate worship setting, we believe that
-
we enter in to that, that Relationship and we do.
-
And how do we do it? We do it spiritually.
-
And we will get him of that. This Vision that God gave Isaiah
-
reveals. The Theology of worship.
-
See God calls us. John 6:44, says, no one can come
-
to me. Unless the father who sent me
-
draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
-
This word draws means. To draw or to drag off.
-
To draw by n-word power to lead or a whale in impale.
-
That God calls us. He compels us, that's a better
-
word. I should have wrote that down.
-
Instead, what I wrote, he compels us to come to him.
-
So God, Paul's and then God provides.
-
The means this is the Theology of worship, God calls us and
-
then God provides the means by which we enter into and
-
participate in this eternal worship.
-
So what are these means? Glad you asked.
-
Second Corinthians, 13:14, one of my favorite verses in the
-
Bible says this says, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
-
the love of God, and The Fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
-
be with you all. This not only shows us the
-
Triune nature of God, God the Father God, the son, God the
-
Holy Spirit, but it also shows us how each one relates to us.
-
We have the love of the father. We have the grace of Jesus.
-
And we have the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
-
For God. So loved the world that he sent
-
his only son to Die For You and I That whoever will choose.
-
To believe on him. They will have eternal life. so,
-
God calls But then he gives us that means to enter in.
-
God loved us so much that he sent his son.
-
Jesus, loved us so much that he died to offer.
-
Us his grace and the Holy Spirit loves us so much that he longs
-
to commune with us. According to James chapter 4,
-
verse 5, So God provides the means and where does this
-
worship reality? Take place right here.
-
This is the Dual nature of worship physically every week
-
when We Gather in here, we're entering this worship reality.
-
And then it happens in the Heavenly places.
-
This is the Dual nature of worship.
-
It has it happens physically while we're in this place
-
together corporately, but it also happens in the Heavenly
-
places. This is the Dual nature of
-
worship. Let's look over in the book of
-
Ephesians chapter 1. So flip over there, or click on
Ephesians 1 chapter mention
-
it. However, you have your Bible
-
this morning. Turn over to Ephesians chapter
-
with number one. So efficient chapter 1, let's
-
look at verse 16. Ephesians chapter 1 verse number
Ephesians 1 chapter mention
-
16. It says this, I do not cease to
-
give thanks for you. Remembering you in my prayers at
-
the god of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
The father of Glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and
-
Revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your
-
hearts enlightened that you may know what is the hope to which
-
he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious
-
inheritance. In the Saints.
-
And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us
-
who believe according to the working of his great might that
-
he worked in Christ when he raised him up, when he raised
-
him from the dead and seated him at the right hand, in the
-
Heavenly places, far above all Rule and authority, and power,
-
and Dominion. and above every name that is named not only in
-
this age but also in the one to come and he put all things under
-
his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church.
-
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all,
-
let's continue here in 2:1 and you were dead in the trespasses
-
and sins in which you. Once walked following the course
-
of this world, following the prince of the power of the air,
-
the spirit, that is that is now at work in the sons of
-
Disobedience, among whom we all once lived in the passions of
-
our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind
-
and we're by Nature children of Wrath like the rest of mankind.
-
Here's another Beauty. But God, but God being rich in
-
Mercy because of the great love which with with which he loved
-
us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive
-
together with Christ. This is the means that he God
-
calls. This is, the means, by which he
-
allows us to enter into that worship.
-
But God being rich in Mercy because of the great love with
-
which he loved us. Even when we were dead in our
-
trespasses has made us alive together with Christ by Grace.
-
You have been saved. We have the love of God, we have
-
the grace of Jesus. Verse 6, it says and raised us
-
up with him and seated us with him in the Heavenly places in
-
Christ Jesus. So that in the coming ages, he
-
might show the immeasurable Riches of his grace in kindness
-
toward us in Christ, Jesus. so physically when we accept
-
Christ, we're still here on Earth but spiritually through
-
fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We are seated with Christ and in
-
Christ in Heavenly places. This takes on a whole new
-
meaning when you realize about how you want to live your life.
-
that we are seated with Christ even now In the spirit were
-
perfect. We're complete.
-
We lack nothing. In the Flesh, we still mess up.
-
In the Flesh, we're still prone to see him.
-
But thank God. It doesn't disqualify say man.
-
Because God has called us. And he's made the means, by
-
we're allowed to come in. So, the Theology of worship, God
-
calls us, he calls us into his presence.
-
So we can worship Him. He supplies, the means for the
-
grace of Jesus Christ, and The Fellowship of the holy spirit
-
that we are seated with him in Heavenly places. 2:2, here, we
-
read. That we all once walked he says
-
in which you once walked following the course of this
-
world, followed him. The prince of the power of the
-
air which is our adversary first, Peter 5:8 tells us that
-
he goes about and he's seeking someone to devour.
-
This is our adversary, the devil.
-
So we once walked according to him, according to the prince of
-
the power of the air. Why?
-
Because we just followed our flesh.
-
The spirit that is now at the work in the work of the sons of
-
disobedience, in the same spirit that was in King Uzziah this
-
this Spirit of Disobedience, it's Pride. but once again, it's
-
four letter phrase. Hear it, believe it.
-
Meditate on it. and tell you it's soaked and ingrained in
-
you, we have been raised We have been raised.
-
Together with Christ. We have been spiritually.
-
The New Testament tells us that we're closed in Christ.
-
Put on Christ. This is all in the spiritual to
-
put on him, to work load in him. We're covered by him.
-
God raised us up with him. This is this this word raise.
-
Has this meaning from, to raise up from Mortal death, our flesh
-
to a new and blessed life dedicated to God.
-
We are a new creation. We are a new creation that it
-
New Testament tells us. And here we see the pattern.
-
This is Theology of worship when you look back at Isaiah chapter
Isaiah 6 chapter mention
-
6. That God calls Isaiah.
-
Then he announces The Verdict by Isaiah being able to see his
-
sinfulness. Due to this vision.
-
Isaiah response. How kings I should have
-
responded with humility instead of Pride, because true worship
-
allows us to see our sin as we enter into worship, especially
-
in our, this corporate setting that God allows us to see our
-
shortcomings, our sins, Hebrews 12:1 tells us that we should lay
-
aside every weight and sin, that slows us down and there's a
-
significance there. It's not just sin, it's not just
-
Waits. So God will ask us to lay things
-
down. Sometimes God asks us to lay
-
relationships down. To walk away from from
-
relationship. There's, there's some friends,
-
we don't need in our life. Amen.
-
For some people, we don't need in our life.
-
There's some activities. We don't need in our life, not
-
because their sin, God may say they're taking too much of your
-
time. And it's not always easy laying
-
those things. But then, there is sin.
-
That we also have to lay down from time to time as well.
-
And this is what worship allows us to see it allows us to see
-
that in her life. So God calls he called Abraham.
-
He announces the verdict that, you know, through his verdict
-
Isaiah realizes, man. I'm a man of uncommon econ,
-
unclean lips. And then God of tones.
-
For that sin. Got a tones for the cine.
-
He says that there's the sir if comes with The coal from The
-
Altar and touches Isaiah's lips. This remedy of Grace is
-
personally applied God's holiness and Glory.
-
Now Redemptive Lee Enter Isaiah's experience.
-
He is atoned for the angel says through their sacrifice on the
-
altar according to the levitical ordinance Leviticus 14 through
-
his sir. If God declares the remedy,
-
Well, as they ascend to be sufficient and instantly
-
effective. Now Isaiah is qualified to
-
proclaim the only hope of the world, the overruling grace of
-
God, and this is a foreshadowing of the grace of Jesus.
-
Once again, 2nd Corinthians 13:14.
-
We have the love of God. We have the grace of Jesus.
-
And we have the fellowship, the Holy Spirit.
-
And then Isaiah commits to God. Notice God did not speak to
-
Isaiah until what. Until he was atoned for.
-
God didn't get in speak to him until he was a tone for.
-
He saw the vision he saw God, but after he the angel came and
-
touched his lips with the coal. and he was his lips from a clean
-
and the angel declared to him, you have been atoned for Then
-
let's look at let's look at back in Isaiah chapter 6.
Isaiah 6 chapter mention
-
This is verse 8. Susannah.
-
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send
-
and who will go for us? Then I said, here I am send me.
-
Here I am. Send me.
-
So this is the Theology of worship that God calls God.
-
Has the means for us to come to him because of his love, he
-
sends Jesus Jesus dies on offer such Grace.
-
And then we have Fellowship, he either in spiritually to God's
-
presence. The book of Hebrews tells us
-
that we should bring our petitions to the throne room of
-
God. How can we get there?
-
If we don't have her means we see the means God's love the
-
grace of Jesus and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
-
Those are the means for us to enter into that Worship in her
-
into that throne room. After the atonement, Isaiah can
-
now give himself fully to God. So fellowship with God is
-
restored and God speaks to us saying this is what God wants
-
for our lives. True worship. not singing some
-
songs and Poof. There it is feel that I grew up
-
in that. I grew up in that, you know,
-
that motion. That's that's what my parents
-
went to. That's that's that you have a
-
church. I was, I grew up in that it was
-
all about emotion. If I remove them, we have a good
-
service today. God really moved God showed up,
-
didn't he? Listen, get back on track.
-
Okay. If you can go down a rabbit
-
hole, I don't need to go down this morning.
-
So worship is not us because this is the rabbit hole.
-
God worship is not us participating for God.
-
Worship is not us participating for God.
-
That's paganism. Rather it is a reenactment of
-
God's work for us. It is the war is the reenactment
-
of the gospel story. That God loved us.
-
He sent his son. Jesus died for us.
-
He offers us Grace Jesus tells his followers.
-
Not in John 16 verse 7. That is it is expedient that I
-
believe it is better for you that I leave is if I don't leave
-
and the Holy Spirit won't come, he can't come.
-
But if I go then the Holy Spirit the father will send him in my
-
name. Jesus.
-
Son of God tells his followers better.
-
If I leave. Because he knew that the Holy
-
Spirit the comforter according to John 14:6, I believe I could
-
be wrong on that, I am forgive me.
-
Jesus. It declares that the comforter
-
will calm and it's that's that word.
-
Comforter means is he the one who walks alongside of us just
-
as Jesus walked alongside of men.
-
Now, the Holy Spirit walks alongside of you and I for Jesus
-
declared, he will be with you and in you And the Holy Spirit
-
leads us into all truth. And what is part of that?
-
Truth is Theology of worship. And it is the Dual nature of
-
worship. That it happens here, physically
-
but also happens in the Heavenly realm and spiritually, we are in
-
that Heavenly Realms seated, with Christ in Heavenly places.
-
Let's move on. By faith in Christ Jesus.
-
We enter in to the Eternal worship of Heaven worship that
-
has been going on from the beginning and will continue on
-
Ephesians 1:13. We read in him.
-
In him you and this is speaking of Jesus in him.
-
You also, when you heard the word of Truth, The Gospel of
-
your salvation and believed in him in Christ were sealed with
-
the promised. Holy Spirit.
-
Visions, for of our study tells us do not grieve the holy spirit
-
of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
-
We are sealed by the holy spirit that fellowship with the Holy
-
Spirit, the love of God, the grace of Jesus and the
-
Fellowship of the Holy Spirit, Paul tells the Corinthian Church
-
be with you all. So, by faith.
-
We are sealed by with the Holy Spirit and by faith in Christ
-
Jesus. We enter in to the Eternal
-
worship of Heaven, the corporate worship service serves, the
-
Great Commission which serves the chief end of all things and
-
Eddie is to worship God. However, Some will choose not
-
to. turnover, if you will to the book of Isaiah chapter number
-
25, Can you give me about five more
-
minutes? Give me about five more minutes.
-
Yeah, five, ten fifteen twenty, twelve.
-
Okay isn't about 30 more minutes.
-
Okay. All right.
-
Thank y'all. Thank y'all.
-
Okay, Isaiah 25 let's look at verse 6, through 9.
-
It says, on this mountain, the Lord of hosts will make for All
-
Peoples, a feast of rich food of feast of well, aged wine of rich
-
food full of marrow of aged wine.
-
Well, we find not just well, aged wine but we find well age.
-
One. I don't know, I just thought
-
that was significant. And he will swallow up on this
-
mountain. The covering that has cast Over
-
All Peoples. The veil that is spread over all
-
nations. He will swallow up death forever
-
and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces and the
-
reproach of his people will take away.
-
We let me rephrase that repeat that.
-
And the reproach of his people, he will take away from all the
-
Earth for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on this day.
-
Behold, This Is Our God. We have weighed for him that he
-
might save us. This is the Lord, we have waited
-
for him. Let us be glad and rejoice in
-
his salvation, the people of God will Feast with God, if they
-
will submit to God. This should have corrected.
-
The idolatrous worship but it did not and it still does not
-
till today. You look on two more verses up
-
in verse 11, it references the people's pompous cried.
-
Look what I have done. And today pride is still the
-
issue. This pump is pride.
-
Look what I have done. Now this will ultimately be
-
fulfilled, this prophecy will ultimately be fulfilled.
-
We can read that in Revelation. We're not going to read it this
-
morning, but Revelation, true 21:8 This will ultimately be.
-
Be accomplished. But only to those who submit to
-
God. Those who submit?
-
To eternal life. Those who do not to Hellfire.
-
God wants us to experience the Dual nature of worship.
-
He gives us the means he calls us.
-
He gives us the means to enter into that worship.
-
Through his love, he sent his son.
-
Jesus died to offer us Grace. And then when he left God, sent
-
the Holy Spirit. He is with us and he's in US.
-
Allow us to enter in. To that those heavenly places to
-
be seated with Christ through the holy spirit in Heavenly
-
places, the Dual nature of worship.
-
The worship team will come, we're fixing to wrap up.
-
Mister Rift came and he touched. Isaiah's lips.
-
With coal from the altar, he declared you are toned for.
-
You are atoned for. We must not do.
-
What? King Uzziah did?
-
We must do what Isaiah did and that is Embrace humility and
-
submit to God. The Book of James.
-
We find this. Chapter 4, verses 1 through 10.
-
It says, what got what causes quarrels and what causes fights
-
among you? Is it not this that your
-
passions are at War within you, you desire and do not have.
-
So you murder, you covet in a kind of chain.
-
So you fight and quarrel you do not have because you do not ask
-
you ask and do not receive because you ask strongly to
-
spend it on your passions. You, adulterous people.
-
Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with
-
God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be
-
a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God, or do
-
you suppose it is to? No purpose.
-
That the scripture says he yearns jealously over the spirit
-
that he has made to dwell in US. Verse 6 but he gives more grace.
-
Therefore it says God opposes the proud, but gives grace to
-
the humble submit yourselves therefore to God resist the
-
devil and he will flee from you draw near to God and He will
-
draw draw near to. You cleanse your hands, you
-
Sinners and purify your hearts. You double-minded be rich
-
stretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to
-
mourning and your joy to Gloom. Verse 10, it says, humble
-
yourselves, humble yourselves before the Lord and He will
-
exalt you. Where will he exalts you?
-
In the Heavenly places. Isaiah 57:15 says this for thus
-
says, the one who is high and lifted up who inhabits eternity,
-
whose name is Holy. I dwell in the high and holy
-
place also, and also with him who is of a contrite And lowly
-
Spirit to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the
-
heart of the contrite ones. So it's dual nature of worship.
-
As God has called he's provide. The means for us to enter into
-
that worship to the grace, the fellowship, through the grace of
-
Jesus, and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
-
And As we humble ourselves. God lifts us up to be with him
-
in that high and lofty place. We can worship God.
-
Not just here, physically but we're worship.
-
We're entering in the worship of Heaven, we're entering in, with
-
the worship of the Angels, Assist, and this morning.
-
Ephesians 3:20 says this that God is able to do immeasurably
-
abundantly more than we could ever ask or think.
-
Even imagine. God wants to do that.
-
He blessed. Uzziah he marvelously prospered
-
him and God wants to do the same thing to us.
-
He wants to bless us in every aspect of our life.
-
But that will never happen. Unless we're first humiliated by
-
the Holy Spirit, we have to realize that I can't do this.
-
I can't get to where God wants to get me.
-
I can only get there through his holy spirit, that will Usher me.
-
He is the holy spirit. Is our comforter.
-
He is our friend. Here's our God.
-
He's our teacher. I Think Jesus said it was
-
important that he leaves, I think we should listen. so, as
-
we As we prepare to. Sing songs.
-
Once again. as we begin to get to the close of this service,
-
Remember. Not just worship God here
-
physically. But you worship Him spiritually
-
as well. And God has provided.
-
The means he's called us. We have the grace of Jesus.
-
Why? Because the love of God and were
-
ushered into that very throne room into the heavenlies, by the
-
Holy Spirit. And in that place, God can speak
-
to us. And just like I was there, we
-
can go and we can go Minister for for God because we've
-
experienced him and that worship setting.
-
Amen. Let's pray real quick.
-
Father, Father, I think you. I praise you that you loved us
-
so much that you sent your son Jesus.
-
Jesus, I thank you that you loved us so much that you gave
-
your life. So that we could have your
-
grace. Holy Spirit.
-
I thank you that. You love this so much.
-
That you lust almost Envy because you want to commune with
-
us. You want to Usher a sin?
-
Those heavenly places. father, help us to remember, That we
-
worship not just here. but in every aspect of Our Lives,
-
Father, I praise you and I magnify your name.
-
Amen. Amen.
