  15. We're that worship takes place. Because it happened actually

  18. worship this morning. If you're able, you can stand

  19. for the reading of God's word, where in Isaiah chapter 6, and

    Isaiah 6 chapter mention

  20. we're going to read Verses 1 through 9 Isaiah chapter 6.

    Isaiah 6 chapter mention

  21. Beginning with verse 9. God word says in the year that

  22. King Uzziah died. I saw the Lord sitting upon a

  23. throne high and lifted up. And the train of his robe,

  24. filled the temple above him, stood, the seraphim, each had

  25. six wings with two. He covered his face and with

  26. two, he covered his feet and with two, he flew And one called

  27. to another and said, holy holy holy is the Lord of hosts.

  28. The whole earth is full of his glory.

  29. And the foundations of the thresholds Shook at the voice of

  30. him, who called the house was filled with smoke.

  31. And I said, woe is me. Why am lost for?

  32. I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people

  33. of unclean lips for my eyes, have seen the king, the Lord of

  34. hosts. Then one of the seraphim flew to

  35. me having in his hand, a burning coal that he had taken with

  36. tongs from The Altar and he touched my mouth and said,

  37. behold this has touched your lips, your guilt is taken taken

  38. away, and your sin atoned for And I heard the voice of the

  39. Lord saying, whom shall I send and who will go for us?

  40. Then I said, here I am send me. And he said, go and say to this

  41. people keep on here and but do not understand.

  42. Keep on seeing, but do not proceed with a spray this

  43. morning. Father, we thank you for

  44. allowing us to be here. Father, we thank you for your

  45. word. We thank you, Father, for your

  46. love Jesus. We thank you for your grace.

  47. Holy Spirit, we thank you for your fellowship.

  48. This morning, I just ask that you would allow us to see your

  49. word. This morning allow us to see the

  50. truth. Father, I pray this morning that

  51. that will will be able to see and hear perceive and

  52. understand. Father, not with the natural.

  53. But let our spirit connect. Let us see your truth.

  54. Your word and father, let it change our lives.

  55. Amen. And amen.

  56. You may be seated. Thank you.

  57. So, our starts off in the year. That King Uzziah died. this is

  58. significant, because We're going to actually relate Uzziah and

  59. Isaiah this morning, King use that Uzziah your read.

  60. You can read about him in second chronicles 26.

  61. He was taken at the age of 16 and was made king of Judah.

  62. And the Bible declares that he followed the word of the Lord,

  63. that he followed the ordinances of God and that by doing that,

  64. he reigned 52 years. And that he had an advisor by

  65. the name of zecharia, which is not the same Zechariah that

  66. wrote the book of the Bible, but that was his advisor.

  67. The second chronicles, 26 verse 5, the word declares as long as

    2 Chronicles 26:5

  68. he sought the Lord, God made him prosperous.

  69. As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prospers.

  70. In verse 15 of 2nd Chronicles 26.

  71. We read this for. He was marvellously helped.

  72. Tell he was strong, this word marvelously is, is the same word

  73. as extraordinary, so it wasn't an ordinary prospering that God

  74. had given King. Uzziah, it was an extraordinary

  75. Prosper, he was blessed above and beyond other kings.

  76. During his time and why? Because verse 5 as long as he

  77. sought the Lord, God made him prosper.

  78. However, When you look at 2nd Chronicles, 26.

  79. Verse 15. It says he helped them

  80. marvelously in the very next verse.

  81. We see the three letter word, b ut, but but, I've said this

  82. before but when you look in the Bible and you see the word, but

  83. I preached the message one time. Watch out for your butts.

  84. Thank you. but watch out for your butts because in scripture,

  85. anytime you see the word, but And it pertains to mankind.

  86. It's almost always in a negative context.

  87. But when you see the word, but relating to God, it's always

  88. 100% of the time in a positive context.

  89. And here, it's not in a positive context.

  90. It's in a negative context. Verse 16 of second chronicles

  91. that says but What happens? Pride falls into Pride. and oh,

  92. we're not going to take the time to read this this morning and

  93. I've already been told and we want to eat before lunch so But

  94. if we if you read that you'll find out that King Uzziah Irwin

  95. that Pride came in. He looked around at all this

  96. marvelous Prosper that God had done for him.

  97. And he got look what I have done.

  98. That's what Pride does. And he goes inside the temple.

  99. And he is going to light, the altar of incense.

  100. Now, it doesn't talk about this in scripture, but you can't tell

  101. me that he hadn't thought about this in previous times.

  102. This is something that he had this Pride had caused him to

  103. think that he deserved to do this.

  104. He was Raising himself up to a level, he had no right to be at

  105. He had no right to be in the temple.

  106. Doing what he he was doing. He was the king.

  107. Yes, but he had no right to do what he was attempting to do.

  108. Because that right was reserved to the priesthood that God had

  109. ordained. And he wouldn't ordained to do

  110. that. The priests were So he took a

  111. sensor and he went in and he was going to light the altar of

  112. incense and it says that the priest and beliefs 60 other men,

  113. what could it may have been 80 I can't remember.

  114. Now other priests that said these were Men of Valor all came

  115. into the temple and withstood King Uzziah these were men that

  116. you know, this was their King. But they knew their place and

  117. they knew his place and he was out of place.

  118. Why? Because of Pride, because Pride

  119. was lifted himself up. You see, we can be tempted.

  120. But if we don't have pride in her life that Temptation will

  121. never turn into giving in to that temptation.

  122. But when we give in to Temptation, it's an automatic

  123. sign. There's pride in our life

  124. because Pride gives us the ability to think I deserve to do

  125. what I do when I'm tempted to do.

  126. I deserve that I have the right to do that, that's what Pride

  127. tells us and this is what happened to King Uzziah.

  128. I have the right to go into the temple and do do a job.

  129. Do something that I'm not, I'm not supposed to do, but I have

  130. the ability because look what I have done.

  131. And it kept said that King Uzziah got mad.

  132. And that when he got mad, God struck him with Leprosy on his

  133. forehead. And when this happened, the

  134. priests all basically rushed out them, quickly, escorted him out

  135. of the temple. By this time King Uzziah was

  136. like, oh, I messed up. He's wanting to get out of the

  137. temple and because of this Pride, He had leprosy the rest

  138. of his life and had to live outside the city separate house.

  139. Why? Because he allowed pride in his

  140. life. or the Bible talks about the three sins that are common

  141. to mankind, that is The lust of the eyes, the lust of the Flesh

  142. and the pride of life. And we see it from the very

  143. beginning of the Garden of Eden when he was manipulated by the

  144. serpent. It says that she looked down the

  145. fruit, she looked with the eyes, a list of the eyes and then she

  146. saw that, it was good, the lust of the Flesh and then it was

  147. good to make one lives. That's the pride of life because

  148. it would have cause them to look what we have achieved now we are

  149. like God So this is what Pride Does It causes us to move from

  150. being tempted into the actual process of giving in thinking I

  151. deserve that. It's okay for me to do that.

  152. And we give in to that Temptation, that's what happened

  153. in King, azaz life. And because of it, after all,

  154. this marvelous blessing, he lost it.

  155. Because fraud and read his life, he lost it, pride calls his

  156. fall. So this was in the year that

  157. King Uzziah died because that's significant from this from this

  158. vision. Pride now had been moved out of

  159. the way. And now God was given Isaiah.

  160. This Vision Pride was out of the way King, Uzziah was out of the

  161. way he died. And then it says here, That.

  162. Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up.

  163. And the train of his robe, filled the temple.

  164. Above them with the seraphim said they had, they were

  165. singing. Holy holy, holy is the Lord God

  166. Almighty and said, they're very foundations of the threshold

  167. shook by their Proclamation. Then what happens with Isaiah?

  168. He's like, hmm. I'm not, I'm not right?

  169. I'm not right. He says, I'm a man of unclean

  170. lips. He realizes this through this

  171. Vision, through this worship that has gone on, we're in

  172. heaven. This worship that was going on

  173. by these angels. Is a worship.

  174. That's not Pride LED. True worship is led by humility.

  175. Not Pride. True worship is led by humility.

  176. True worship strips us. Of our selfishness King Uzziah

  177. had that selfish Pride that I'm going to go and I'm going to do

  178. this because I deserve to do this.

  179. But not God. But not Isaiah God's teaching.

  180. Isaiah true worship. King Uzziah is out of the way.

  181. True worship is led by humility and true worship strips us of

  182. our selfishness. The vision that Isaiah that

  183. Isaiah received was meant to correct.

  184. The false worship happening in the land among God's people.

  185. I declare to say today that God is saying the same thing to you

  186. and I there was a lot of worship that happens.

  187. Let me rephrase that there is a lot of so-called worship that

  188. happens in churches. That ours is not true worship.

  189. Worship is not. What we did earlier where we had

  190. our band up here? Singing songs and we were

  191. singing with them, that's part of worship.

  192. That's not just worship. Worship is more than a singing.

  193. In this corporate water worship say. worship is the people that

  194. come up before anybody else and fix breakfast for adult, Sunday

  195. school, class, and other people that come in for Sunday, school

  196. worship is the people that Come and greet you at the door.

  197. Worship is the ones who helped take up offering.

  198. Worship are the Sunday School teachers that are proclaiming

  199. the word of God to you and your Sunday School classes, no matter

  200. what the age group. Worship.

  201. Yes also happens in here as we sung and we praise God through

  202. song. But worship is also happening.

  203. Right? Right here and right now.

  204. As we are proclaiming God's word.

  205. It's all worship. It's the ideal.

  206. And that's what this whole series is about.

  207. The ideal that worship happens. When we sing three or four songs

  208. up here and then we sing at the end of service, and that's

  209. worship. And that is wrong.

  210. It's way it's way B. Worship is our lifestyle.

  211. King Uzziah worship God. As long as he followed the Lord,

  212. God made him prospers. Until Pride injured his life.

  213. And I can God was given Isaiah this Vision to show him what

  214. true worship was. The Angels were saying.

  215. Holy holy holy this is ongoing worship that has happened from

  216. the beginning of Eternity and it will go on and throughout the

  217. rest of Eternity. Its own going.

  218. Worship is ongoing. And when we gather Weekly in

  219. this corporate worship setting. What happens is we experienced

  220. the Dual nature of worship because worship is happening in

  221. the Heavenly places, but worship is happening.

  222. Right here in our, in this physical building, as we're

  223. physically sitting here each week.

  224. It happens in both places. So, where there is a dual nature

  225. of worship. Every week as We Gather we're

  226. doing what is already happened? Is already happening.

  227. Has happened from the beginning in heaven as we worship God.

  228. We're just like the angels that who cried.

  229. Holy holy holy, we are just like them.

  230. We come and we gather corporately as a corporate body.

  231. This is eternal worship that we see here in this vision.

  232. It shows us how warship was, how worship is and how worship will

  233. be forever more? And we get to participate in

  234. that. As we come and as we give

  235. ourselves to God in Ark, when we going joined together in this

  236. corporate setting from the time, we first step on this campus and

  237. telling time we leave from the top from how we live our life,

  238. because we're still a body. If you are a member here at New

  239. Life Community Church, whether we are sitting in this building

  240. or not, we're in Walmart or where work, or we're at home.

  241. We're visiting a friend, we're still a body.

  242. So, wherever we go, we're still a body.

  243. Amen. We're still a body.

  244. Yeah, weird together, right here.

  245. But when we dispersed today, we're still a body.

  246. We're still a body of believers. Now everywhere we go, we can

  247. carry that worship with us. But as We Gather weekly in this

  248. setting, My Bible. I don't know about yours.

  249. My Bible says that where two or three are gathered together was

  250. a say, Jesus said, I'm in the Mist.

  251. Now, you can believe that or not, I choose to believe that.

  252. So, when we in this corporate worship setting, we believe that

  253. we enter in to that, that Relationship and we do.

  254. And how do we do it? We do it spiritually.

  255. And we will get him of that. This Vision that God gave Isaiah

  256. reveals. The Theology of worship.

  257. See God calls us. John 6:44, says, no one can come

    John 6:44

  258. to me. Unless the father who sent me

  259. draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.

  260. This word draws means. To draw or to drag off.

  261. To draw by n-word power to lead or a whale in impale.

  262. That God calls us. He compels us, that's a better

  263. word. I should have wrote that down.

  264. Instead, what I wrote, he compels us to come to him.

  265. So God, Paul's and then God provides.

  266. The means this is the Theology of worship, God calls us and

  267. then God provides the means by which we enter into and

  268. participate in this eternal worship.

  269. So what are these means? Glad you asked.

  270. Second Corinthians, 13:14, one of my favorite verses in the

  271. Bible says this says, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and

  272. the love of God, and The Fellowship of the Holy Spirit,

  273. be with you all. This not only shows us the

  274. Triune nature of God, God the Father God, the son, God the

  275. Holy Spirit, but it also shows us how each one relates to us.

  276. We have the love of the father. We have the grace of Jesus.

  277. And we have the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

  278. For God. So loved the world that he sent

  279. his only son to Die For You and I That whoever will choose.

  280. To believe on him. They will have eternal life. so,

  281. God calls But then he gives us that means to enter in.

  282. God loved us so much that he sent his son.

  283. Jesus, loved us so much that he died to offer.

  284. Us his grace and the Holy Spirit loves us so much that he longs

  285. to commune with us. According to James chapter 4,

    James 4:5

  286. verse 5, So God provides the means and where does this

  287. worship reality? Take place right here.

  288. This is the Dual nature of worship physically every week

  289. when We Gather in here, we're entering this worship reality.

  290. And then it happens in the Heavenly places.

  291. This is the Dual nature of worship.

  292. It has it happens physically while we're in this place

  293. together corporately, but it also happens in the Heavenly

  294. places. This is the Dual nature of

  295. worship. Let's look over in the book of

  296. Ephesians chapter 1. So flip over there, or click on

    Ephesians 1 chapter mention

  297. it. However, you have your Bible

  298. this morning. Turn over to Ephesians chapter

  299. with number one. So efficient chapter 1, let's

  300. look at verse 16. Ephesians chapter 1 verse number

    Ephesians 1 chapter mention

  301. 16. It says this, I do not cease to

  302. give thanks for you. Remembering you in my prayers at

  303. the god of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  304. The father of Glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and

  305. Revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your

  306. hearts enlightened that you may know what is the hope to which

  307. he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious

  308. inheritance. In the Saints.

  309. And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us

  310. who believe according to the working of his great might that

  311. he worked in Christ when he raised him up, when he raised

  312. him from the dead and seated him at the right hand, in the

  313. Heavenly places, far above all Rule and authority, and power,

  314. and Dominion. and above every name that is named not only in

  315. this age but also in the one to come and he put all things under

  316. his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church.

  317. which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all,

  318. let's continue here in 2:1 and you were dead in the trespasses

  319. and sins in which you. Once walked following the course

  320. of this world, following the prince of the power of the air,

  321. the spirit, that is that is now at work in the sons of

  322. Disobedience, among whom we all once lived in the passions of

  323. our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind

  324. and we're by Nature children of Wrath like the rest of mankind.

  325. Here's another Beauty. But God, but God being rich in

  326. Mercy because of the great love which with with which he loved

  327. us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive

  328. together with Christ. This is the means that he God

  329. calls. This is, the means, by which he

  330. allows us to enter into that worship.

  331. But God being rich in Mercy because of the great love with

  332. which he loved us. Even when we were dead in our

  333. trespasses has made us alive together with Christ by Grace.

  334. You have been saved. We have the love of God, we have

  335. the grace of Jesus. Verse 6, it says and raised us

  336. up with him and seated us with him in the Heavenly places in

  337. Christ Jesus. So that in the coming ages, he

  338. might show the immeasurable Riches of his grace in kindness

  339. toward us in Christ, Jesus. so physically when we accept

  340. Christ, we're still here on Earth but spiritually through

  341. fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We are seated with Christ and in

  342. Christ in Heavenly places. This takes on a whole new

  343. meaning when you realize about how you want to live your life.

  344. that we are seated with Christ even now In the spirit were

  345. perfect. We're complete.

  346. We lack nothing. In the Flesh, we still mess up.

  347. In the Flesh, we're still prone to see him.

  348. But thank God. It doesn't disqualify say man.

  349. Because God has called us. And he's made the means, by

  350. we're allowed to come in. So, the Theology of worship, God

  351. calls us, he calls us into his presence.

  352. So we can worship Him. He supplies, the means for the

  353. grace of Jesus Christ, and The Fellowship of the holy spirit

  354. that we are seated with him in Heavenly places. 2:2, here, we

  355. read. That we all once walked he says

  356. in which you once walked following the course of this

  357. world, followed him. The prince of the power of the

  358. air which is our adversary first, Peter 5:8 tells us that

  359. he goes about and he's seeking someone to devour.

  360. This is our adversary, the devil.

  361. So we once walked according to him, according to the prince of

  362. the power of the air. Why?

  363. Because we just followed our flesh.

  364. The spirit that is now at the work in the work of the sons of

  365. disobedience, in the same spirit that was in King Uzziah this

  366. this Spirit of Disobedience, it's Pride. but once again, it's

  367. four letter phrase. Hear it, believe it.

  368. Meditate on it. and tell you it's soaked and ingrained in

  369. you, we have been raised We have been raised.

  370. Together with Christ. We have been spiritually.

  371. The New Testament tells us that we're closed in Christ.

  372. Put on Christ. This is all in the spiritual to

  373. put on him, to work load in him. We're covered by him.

  374. God raised us up with him. This is this this word raise.

  375. Has this meaning from, to raise up from Mortal death, our flesh

  376. to a new and blessed life dedicated to God.

  377. We are a new creation. We are a new creation that it

  378. New Testament tells us. And here we see the pattern.

  379. This is Theology of worship when you look back at Isaiah chapter

    Isaiah 6 chapter mention

  380. 6. That God calls Isaiah.

  381. Then he announces The Verdict by Isaiah being able to see his

  382. sinfulness. Due to this vision.

  383. Isaiah response. How kings I should have

  384. responded with humility instead of Pride, because true worship

  385. allows us to see our sin as we enter into worship, especially

  386. in our, this corporate setting that God allows us to see our

  387. shortcomings, our sins, Hebrews 12:1 tells us that we should lay

    Hebrews 12:1

  388. aside every weight and sin, that slows us down and there's a

  389. significance there. It's not just sin, it's not just

  390. Waits. So God will ask us to lay things

  391. down. Sometimes God asks us to lay

  392. relationships down. To walk away from from

  393. relationship. There's, there's some friends,

  394. we don't need in our life. Amen.

  395. For some people, we don't need in our life.

  396. There's some activities. We don't need in our life, not

  397. because their sin, God may say they're taking too much of your

  398. time. And it's not always easy laying

  399. those things. But then, there is sin.

  400. That we also have to lay down from time to time as well.

  401. And this is what worship allows us to see it allows us to see

  402. that in her life. So God calls he called Abraham.

  403. He announces the verdict that, you know, through his verdict

  404. Isaiah realizes, man. I'm a man of uncommon econ,

  405. unclean lips. And then God of tones.

  406. For that sin. Got a tones for the cine.

  407. He says that there's the sir if comes with The coal from The

  408. Altar and touches Isaiah's lips. This remedy of Grace is

  409. personally applied God's holiness and Glory.

  410. Now Redemptive Lee Enter Isaiah's experience.

  411. He is atoned for the angel says through their sacrifice on the

  412. altar according to the levitical ordinance Leviticus 14 through

  413. his sir. If God declares the remedy,

  414. Well, as they ascend to be sufficient and instantly

  415. effective. Now Isaiah is qualified to

  416. proclaim the only hope of the world, the overruling grace of

  417. God, and this is a foreshadowing of the grace of Jesus.

  418. Once again, 2nd Corinthians 13:14.

  419. We have the love of God. We have the grace of Jesus.

  420. And we have the fellowship, the Holy Spirit.

  421. And then Isaiah commits to God. Notice God did not speak to

  422. Isaiah until what. Until he was atoned for.

  423. God didn't get in speak to him until he was a tone for.

  424. He saw the vision he saw God, but after he the angel came and

  425. touched his lips with the coal. and he was his lips from a clean

  426. and the angel declared to him, you have been atoned for Then

  427. let's look at let's look at back in Isaiah chapter 6.

    Isaiah 6 chapter mention

  428. This is verse 8. Susannah.

  429. And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send

  430. and who will go for us? Then I said, here I am send me.

  431. Here I am. Send me.

  432. So this is the Theology of worship that God calls God.

  433. Has the means for us to come to him because of his love, he

  434. sends Jesus Jesus dies on offer such Grace.

  435. And then we have Fellowship, he either in spiritually to God's

  436. presence. The book of Hebrews tells us

  437. that we should bring our petitions to the throne room of

  438. God. How can we get there?

  439. If we don't have her means we see the means God's love the

  440. grace of Jesus and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

  441. Those are the means for us to enter into that Worship in her

  442. into that throne room. After the atonement, Isaiah can

  443. now give himself fully to God. So fellowship with God is

  444. restored and God speaks to us saying this is what God wants

  445. for our lives. True worship. not singing some

  446. songs and Poof. There it is feel that I grew up

  447. in that. I grew up in that, you know,

  448. that motion. That's that's what my parents

  449. went to. That's that's that you have a

  450. church. I was, I grew up in that it was

  451. all about emotion. If I remove them, we have a good

  452. service today. God really moved God showed up,

  453. didn't he? Listen, get back on track.

  454. Okay. If you can go down a rabbit

  455. hole, I don't need to go down this morning.

  456. So worship is not us because this is the rabbit hole.

  457. God worship is not us participating for God.

  458. Worship is not us participating for God.

  459. That's paganism. Rather it is a reenactment of

  460. God's work for us. It is the war is the reenactment

  461. of the gospel story. That God loved us.

  462. He sent his son. Jesus died for us.

  463. He offers us Grace Jesus tells his followers.

  464. Not in John 16 verse 7. That is it is expedient that I

    John 16:7

  465. believe it is better for you that I leave is if I don't leave

  466. and the Holy Spirit won't come, he can't come.

  467. But if I go then the Holy Spirit the father will send him in my

  468. name. Jesus.

  469. Son of God tells his followers better.

  470. If I leave. Because he knew that the Holy

  471. Spirit the comforter according to John 14:6, I believe I could

    John 14:6

  472. be wrong on that, I am forgive me.

  473. Jesus. It declares that the comforter

  474. will calm and it's that's that word.

  475. Comforter means is he the one who walks alongside of us just

  476. as Jesus walked alongside of men.

  477. Now, the Holy Spirit walks alongside of you and I for Jesus

  478. declared, he will be with you and in you And the Holy Spirit

  479. leads us into all truth. And what is part of that?

  480. Truth is Theology of worship. And it is the Dual nature of

  481. worship. That it happens here, physically

  482. but also happens in the Heavenly realm and spiritually, we are in

  483. that Heavenly Realms seated, with Christ in Heavenly places.

  484. Let's move on. By faith in Christ Jesus.

  485. We enter in to the Eternal worship of Heaven worship that

  486. has been going on from the beginning and will continue on

  487. Ephesians 1:13. We read in him.

    Ephesians 1:13

  488. In him you and this is speaking of Jesus in him.

  489. You also, when you heard the word of Truth, The Gospel of

  490. your salvation and believed in him in Christ were sealed with

  491. the promised. Holy Spirit.

  492. Visions, for of our study tells us do not grieve the holy spirit

  493. of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

  494. We are sealed by the holy spirit that fellowship with the Holy

  495. Spirit, the love of God, the grace of Jesus and the

  496. Fellowship of the Holy Spirit, Paul tells the Corinthian Church

  497. be with you all. So, by faith.

  498. We are sealed by with the Holy Spirit and by faith in Christ

  499. Jesus. We enter in to the Eternal

  500. worship of Heaven, the corporate worship service serves, the

  501. Great Commission which serves the chief end of all things and

  502. Eddie is to worship God. However, Some will choose not

  503. to. turnover, if you will to the book of Isaiah chapter number

  504. 25, Can you give me about five more

  505. minutes? Give me about five more minutes.

  506. Yeah, five, ten fifteen twenty, twelve.

  507. Okay isn't about 30 more minutes.

  508. Okay. All right.

  509. Thank y'all. Thank y'all.

  510. Okay, Isaiah 25 let's look at verse 6, through 9.

  511. It says, on this mountain, the Lord of hosts will make for All

  512. Peoples, a feast of rich food of feast of well, aged wine of rich

  513. food full of marrow of aged wine.

  514. Well, we find not just well, aged wine but we find well age.

  515. One. I don't know, I just thought

  516. that was significant. And he will swallow up on this

  517. mountain. The covering that has cast Over

  518. All Peoples. The veil that is spread over all

  519. nations. He will swallow up death forever

  520. and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces and the

  521. reproach of his people will take away.

  522. We let me rephrase that repeat that.

  523. And the reproach of his people, he will take away from all the

  524. Earth for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on this day.

  525. Behold, This Is Our God. We have weighed for him that he

  526. might save us. This is the Lord, we have waited

  527. for him. Let us be glad and rejoice in

  528. his salvation, the people of God will Feast with God, if they

  529. will submit to God. This should have corrected.

  530. The idolatrous worship but it did not and it still does not

  531. till today. You look on two more verses up

  532. in verse 11, it references the people's pompous cried.

  533. Look what I have done. And today pride is still the

  534. issue. This pump is pride.

  535. Look what I have done. Now this will ultimately be

  536. fulfilled, this prophecy will ultimately be fulfilled.

  537. We can read that in Revelation. We're not going to read it this

  538. morning, but Revelation, true 21:8 This will ultimately be.

  539. Be accomplished. But only to those who submit to

  540. God. Those who submit?

  541. To eternal life. Those who do not to Hellfire.

  542. God wants us to experience the Dual nature of worship.

  543. He gives us the means he calls us.

  544. He gives us the means to enter into that worship.

  545. Through his love, he sent his son.

  546. Jesus died to offer us Grace. And then when he left God, sent

  547. the Holy Spirit. He is with us and he's in US.

  548. Allow us to enter in. To that those heavenly places to

  549. be seated with Christ through the holy spirit in Heavenly

  550. places, the Dual nature of worship.

  551. The worship team will come, we're fixing to wrap up.

  552. Mister Rift came and he touched. Isaiah's lips.

  553. With coal from the altar, he declared you are toned for.

  554. You are atoned for. We must not do.

  555. What? King Uzziah did?

  556. We must do what Isaiah did and that is Embrace humility and

  557. submit to God. The Book of James.

  558. We find this. Chapter 4, verses 1 through 10.

  559. It says, what got what causes quarrels and what causes fights

  560. among you? Is it not this that your

  561. passions are at War within you, you desire and do not have.

  562. So you murder, you covet in a kind of chain.

  563. So you fight and quarrel you do not have because you do not ask

  564. you ask and do not receive because you ask strongly to

  565. spend it on your passions. You, adulterous people.

  566. Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with

  567. God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be

  568. a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God, or do

  569. you suppose it is to? No purpose.

  570. That the scripture says he yearns jealously over the spirit

  571. that he has made to dwell in US. Verse 6 but he gives more grace.

  572. Therefore it says God opposes the proud, but gives grace to

  573. the humble submit yourselves therefore to God resist the

  574. devil and he will flee from you draw near to God and He will

  575. draw draw near to. You cleanse your hands, you

  576. Sinners and purify your hearts. You double-minded be rich

  577. stretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to

  578. mourning and your joy to Gloom. Verse 10, it says, humble

  579. yourselves, humble yourselves before the Lord and He will

  580. exalt you. Where will he exalts you?

  581. In the Heavenly places. Isaiah 57:15 says this for thus

    Isaiah 57:15

  582. says, the one who is high and lifted up who inhabits eternity,

  583. whose name is Holy. I dwell in the high and holy

  584. place also, and also with him who is of a contrite And lowly

  585. Spirit to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the

  586. heart of the contrite ones. So it's dual nature of worship.

  587. As God has called he's provide. The means for us to enter into

  588. that worship to the grace, the fellowship, through the grace of

  589. Jesus, and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

  590. And As we humble ourselves. God lifts us up to be with him

  591. in that high and lofty place. We can worship God.

  592. Not just here, physically but we're worship.

  593. We're entering in the worship of Heaven, we're entering in, with

  594. the worship of the Angels, Assist, and this morning.

  595. Ephesians 3:20 says this that God is able to do immeasurably

    Ephesians 3:20

  596. abundantly more than we could ever ask or think.

  597. Even imagine. God wants to do that.

  598. He blessed. Uzziah he marvelously prospered

  599. him and God wants to do the same thing to us.

  600. He wants to bless us in every aspect of our life.

  601. But that will never happen. Unless we're first humiliated by

  602. the Holy Spirit, we have to realize that I can't do this.

  603. I can't get to where God wants to get me.

  604. I can only get there through his holy spirit, that will Usher me.

  605. He is the holy spirit. Is our comforter.

  606. He is our friend. Here's our God.

  607. He's our teacher. I Think Jesus said it was

  608. important that he leaves, I think we should listen. so, as

  609. we As we prepare to. Sing songs.

  610. Once again. as we begin to get to the close of this service,

  611. Remember. Not just worship God here

  612. physically. But you worship Him spiritually

  613. as well. And God has provided.

  614. The means he's called us. We have the grace of Jesus.

  615. Why? Because the love of God and were

  616. ushered into that very throne room into the heavenlies, by the

  617. Holy Spirit. And in that place, God can speak

  618. to us. And just like I was there, we

  619. can go and we can go Minister for for God because we've

  620. experienced him and that worship setting.

  621. Amen. Let's pray real quick.

  622. Father, Father, I think you. I praise you that you loved us

  623. so much that you sent your son Jesus.

  624. Jesus, I thank you that you loved us so much that you gave

  625. your life. So that we could have your

  626. grace. Holy Spirit.

  627. I thank you that. You love this so much.

  628. That you lust almost Envy because you want to commune with

  629. us. You want to Usher a sin?

  630. Those heavenly places. father, help us to remember, That we

  631. worship not just here. but in every aspect of Our Lives,

  632. Father, I praise you and I magnify your name.

  633. Amen. Amen.
