  1. Thank you for listening to this message from Life House Church.

  2. Hey listen, turn to somebody, give them a high five and tell them Jesus is on the throne.

  3. Amen, come on.

  4. We're declaring it all morning, we've been speaking it, we've been singing it.

  5. He is good.

  6. Amen?

  7. All right, I only got about three amen's.

  8. Is he good?

  9. Amen, amen, he's good.

  10. Well listen, for the last several weeks I've been diving with you into God's Word and we've

  11. been digging into this core idea that once I realize the immense value of Jesus it will

  12. motivate me to worship God.

  13. Once my appraisal of God is accurate, His worth goes beyond calculation, right?

  14. I engage in worshiping God.

  15. That's really where it is.

  16. Once my head gets around that God is absolutely priceless in my life, that His value is immeasurable,

  17. you cannot measure it, that His worth is infinite, once I get to that place in my life I will

  18. worship Him.

  19. And once that realization hits me that exactly who God is, you know, once I get to that place

  20. where I spontaneously want to worship God because of who He is and what He's done and

  21. what He's going to do, once I get to that place I need to know what worship should look

  22. like, right?

  23. Once you get to that place that I want to speak out or I want to do something for God,

  24. I want to worship Him, what exactly should my worship entail?

  25. What should it entail and what should it not entail, right?

  26. How should I express my gratitude, my reverence, my love for God, what should that look like?

  27. Because there's more than one way to worship God.

  28. There's actually more than three ways to worship God.

  29. When we come into a worship setting like this and we come into a worship service, a lot

  30. of times, right, we sing songs and we lift our hands, I did this morning because we bow,

  31. sometimes we bow our heads, sometimes we bow our knee, right, and we kneel before God.

  32. Sometimes we're walking and talking and saying things and sometimes we just come, we sing,

  33. we hear the preaching, we pray, right, maybe lift our hand and we walked out the door and

  34. say nailed it, right, we worshiped God, it was awesome, right?

  35. But is there more than one way to do that?

  36. How do I get this right all the time?

  37. What's the different ways we can worship?

  38. So this morning I kind of really want to keep going along these lines of worshiping God

  39. and really talk about the ways that we can worship Him.

  40. When I worship God, we want to engage in the right gestures and the right expressions of

  41. worship.

  42. I want to do it the right way.

  43. God's an amazing God.

  44. He's incredible.

  45. He's all powerful.

  46. He's sovereign.

  47. When we worship God, I want to engage in the right gestures, say gestures, and expressions,

  48. say expressions, expressions of worship.

  49. I want to express my worship in some manner that's going to be right, my worship to manifest

  50. in some gesture that's going to move towards God and God's going to be pleased with that,

  51. right?

  52. I want to show my gratitude in some way that is visible and that honors Him.

  53. I don't know about you, but I want to get this right before a holy and a righteous and

  54. an all powerful God, the God who saved me from death, hell and the grave and saved my

  55. soul and kept me from all that.

  56. I want to express to Him, I want to do it in the right manner.

  57. I want it to be in a way that is pleasing.

  58. I want my gestures and I want my expressions to be right on cue with God.

  59. Because how many know gestures, some gestures are not always appropriate, right?

  60. There are gestures out there that are inappropriate gestures.

  61. I don't know if you've ever driven down the road and you've maybe accidentally cut somebody

  62. off in traffic and they give you a one finger gesture, okay?

  63. How many know that's inappropriate?

  64. And sometimes they don't do it with just one, they do it with two, you know, and it's an

  65. inappropriate gesture.

  66. There are gestures that are inappropriate, right?

  67. And listen, when they give you the single finger gesture, they're not telling you you're

  68. number one, right?

  69. That is not a thumbs up kind of thing.

  70. It's inappropriate, right?

  71. Some gestures or expressions to God might not be the best.

  72. They might not be all that worshipful.

  73. You know, sometimes we do these glib things with God, you know, we'll kind of just go

  74. by God and give him a thumbs up, right?

  75. Thumbs up, God, I really approve what you did today.

  76. It was awesome, God.

  77. Now if it's from a heart of worship and you really mean it, it could be one thing.

  78. But how many know that God's really not looking for my approval?

  79. I should be looking for His approval, right?

  80. I'm kind of more in this camp of like, I hope God gives me a thumbs up versus me giving

  81. him a thumbs up kind of thing, right?

  82. He's not really looking for my approval.

  83. I might not want to refer to God as the man upstairs.

  84. You might want to rethink that one just a little bit, right?

  85. First of all, He's not a man, OK?

  86. He's spirit.

  87. And second of all, He's the God of heaven, of the universe.

  88. And you know, sometimes we got to think about those expressions because He's not the guy

  89. living up in the attic just waiting for you to call on him, right?

  90. That's not who He is.

  91. He's not the guy.

  92. So it's a good thing to understand what's acceptable to God.

  93. What are the expressions and what are the gestures of worship that I want to give to

  94. God?

  95. And there's good news about this.

  96. There's many of them.

  97. There's lots because if you've been attending church very long, right, when someone says,

  98. let's go to a worship service, you're going to think of three, three or four things.

  99. You're going to think of preaching.

  100. You're going to think of singing.

  101. You're going to think of giving and you're going to think of prayer.

  102. By the way, all four of those are amazing and they're good.

  103. You should engage in all those.

  104. But some of you out there don't really like to sing.

  105. All right, I'm not going to ask you to raise your hand, but I know who you are because

  106. like when he's a singing part, you're like, how many?

  107. Some of you are just hummers.

  108. OK, you just hum for Jesus.

  109. You don't want to sing.

  110. You don't like sing.

  111. You don't go singing.

  112. How many are just humming for Jesus?

  113. I go by hummers all the time.

  114. There's going to be.

  115. They're just humming for Jesus.

  116. Right.

  117. They're just they're just kind of humming along.

  118. They don't really necessarily want to sing.

  119. And we want to know, like, you know, is it just to preach and is it just the singing?

  120. Is it just in giving?

  121. Is it just in prayer?

  122. What are the different ways we want to do that?

  123. Do we want to?

  124. You know, some of you some of you'd rather sing.

  125. Some of you don't want to sing.

  126. Some of you'd rather sing.

  127. Some of you like I could just skip the preaching.

  128. Please don't raise your hand or say amen to this.

  129. OK, but some of you like I could just skip the preaching.

  130. I could just praise Jesus all day long.

  131. Forget the preaching.

  132. All right.

  133. You know, you might be thinking what?

  134. How am I going to worship God?

  135. Some of you might get nervous about public prayers.

  136. Some of you like I am praying in front of nobody.

  137. I pray in my prayer closet.

  138. That's staying right there.

  139. All right.

  140. They don't want to pray in public.

  141. But what are the ways?

  142. What are the gestures?

  143. And it's not limited to just a few.

  144. It's not limited even to just what we do on Sunday mornings.

  145. That's part of it.

  146. It's part of the way we worship God.

  147. So if you got your Bible this morning, we're going to go in the Book of Psalms.

  148. We're going to jump around a little bit in scripture.

  149. But I want you to know the Book of Psalms.

  150. We're going to Psalms 150.

  151. And I'm going to start off with verse one Psalms 150 verse one.

  152. If you're listening online, we'll give you just a moment to get there in your Bibles.

  153. It's going to be on the screen for you as well as in the house this morning.

  154. But Psalms 150 in one.

  155. And it says this.

  156. Praise the Lord.

  157. Now, listen, if I was in a Jamaican church, I don't know if you've ever been in a Jamaican

  158. church.

  159. But when somebody says praise the Lord, do you know what everybody else does?

  160. Yeah, they say praise the Lord.

  161. So praise the Lord.

  162. Yeah, that was very Jamaican.

  163. OK, they do.

  164. They just do it.

  165. You say praise the Lord.

  166. They're going to they're going to echo right back.

  167. Praise the Lord.

  168. Praise God in his sanctuary.

  169. Praise him in his mighty firmament.

  170. Right to me that when I read that, that's like praise God in the house and praise God

  171. out of the house.

  172. Right.

  173. Praise him in a sanctuary and praise him out in the firmament, out in the open air.

  174. Praise him for his mighty acts.

  175. Praise him according to his excellent greatness.

  176. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet.

  177. Praise him with the lute and the harp.

  178. Praise him with the timbrel and the dance.

  179. Praise him with the stringed instruments and the flute command.

  180. We saw that all this morning.

  181. Praise him with the loud cymbals.

  182. Come on, all you drummers.

  183. Amen.

  184. Praise him with the loud cymbals.

  185. Praise him with the clashing cymbals.

  186. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

  187. The writer of Psalms was saying that praising God is worship.

  188. If you praise God with an instrument, you're worshiping.

  189. If you praise him with the dance movement of some kind, it is worship.

  190. Praising God with singing, it's worship.

  191. Praising him with the stringed instruments.

  192. We heard the violin this morning.

  193. Ashley, where are you?

  194. Come on.

  195. She is playing the violin, right?

  196. With the loud cymbals, with the drummers.

  197. Jeremy was on the drums this morning.

  198. We had guitars going with the strings and the piano.

  199. Praise him.

  200. He is speaking out to God with adoration, with reverence in some kind of praise.

  201. Because praising God always equals worship.

  202. Know that.

  203. Speaking out to God in a way that declares His majesty is always worship.

  204. Speaking about His mighty works, it's worship.

  205. Speaking about His mighty power, it is worship.

  206. about his attributes that is worship bragging on who he is and what he has done it is worship

  207. declaring what the Bible says to somebody that is worship it is worship to God praising

  208. God you praise with your lips point your lips right now okay that's what you praise with

  209. right some of you do with your fingers too you're playing instruments sometimes you do

  210. with your body but your lips praise they speak adding music or dance to those declarations

  211. of praise equals worship anytime we open our mouths to declare God in a positive way to

  212. anyone or anything anytime my gestures or movements move towards God and honoring him

  213. praise equals what worship right because worship praise and worship how many do praise and

  214. worship go together like peanut butter and jelly come on they do it's like Kings and

  215. Queens it's like coffee and cream it's like Dunkin and Donuts I know they drop the donuts

  216. but I still like that okay it's Dunkin and Donuts right worship is our recognition of

  217. God's invaluable worth that's what we've been talking about that's what worship is praise

  218. is the verbal expression of that recognition whether it's through music or with our words

  219. or whatever it is it's making it's making noise for Jesus that's what it is in some

  220. way you're making noise you're making a movement you're doing something for Jesus we recognize

  221. who he is and we verbalize that recognition praise and worship or worship and praise we

  222. we praise him in the house we praise him out of the house we worship him in the house we

  223. praise him out of the house we verbalize God in any and all locations do you know that

  224. every single place that your feet try is an acceptable place to praise God no matter what

  225. the world's telling us right they might want to shut down that we preach to people or talk

  226. to people in some way but every place you go in public is a place to praise him you

  227. can't stop our worship at home in the store right you just praise him you speak the name

  228. of Jesus you heard it you sang it this morning and when you're in the store right and you're

  229. at the school you're at the university you're at a sporting event wherever your feet go

  230. it's the right place to praise God because praise equals what worship praise every time

  231. every time praise equals worship every time I highlight his amazing attributes every time

  232. praise equals worship we should even praise him about the little things in life do you

  233. know that that today you'll take approximately 23,000 breaths I want you to do it right now

  234. intentionally breathe in breathe out you'll do that about 23,000 times today we should

  235. praise God in those little things that process of inhaling oxygen into your body and carbon

  236. dioxide flowing out is a complicated respiratory task that requires physical physiological

  237. precision in your body we should praise him for that right we should praise him for one

  238. more breath you've got one more breath I remember many years ago Dixie and I weren't married

  239. very long we were married a few years I don't remember how long she's very better with dates

  240. than I am but I got I came down with this virus and it hit me all at once and and I

  241. went I remember going to this urgent care and I went in and what happened was I woke

  242. up and my glands were swollen almost like to like a golf ball they were super hard swollen

  243. up the glands under my arms were swollen up I couldn't even put my arms down the whole

  244. way and I thought man something's messed up something's wrong you know and I felt a little

  245. weird in my chest so I remember going to the to this urgent care kind of place and they

  246. went in and they do what they always do they listen to you they weigh you right they tell

  247. you how much I'm overweight and all that kind of stuff and then they listen to your chest

  248. and they say you need an antibiotic which they do for everything all right and I go

  249. home with this antibiotic and I can't put my arms out like there's something wrong this

  250. is not right I can't breathe my neck hurts so I just didn't I don't even know if I got

  251. the antibiotic but I remember looking in the phone book how many remember a phone book

  252. okay I looked in a phone book and I found the first ear nose and throat specialist I

  253. could find and I just called the number and I remember it was Dr. Wolf it was a lady doctor

  254. and she said meet me I described what was going she said meet me at the ER soon as we

  255. got to the ER she checked me out they they admitted me immediately they put me in a hospital

  256. wing that nobody else was in and they put me down at the end of the line I'm like oh

  257. you know and you know because they were isolating me and it turns out I had this undetermined

  258. virus and by that point by the time I got to the ER my my lungs had already diminished

  259. they were only at 60 percent at that point and they were failing they were going and

  260. I remember going to sleep that night thinking I don't know if I have another breath you

  261. know you get 23,000 in a day but I don't know if I'm gonna get the next 23,000 I don't know

  262. if I'm gonna wake up the next morning that's a sobering thought amen it really is I thank

  263. God for breath I thank God that he gave me I worshiped God give me one more God give

  264. me another day give me another year give me another 10 years praise equals worship it

  265. equals worship and you need to understand the enemy does not want us to engage in praising

  266. God because he knows it's worship to God he knows that if you start praising God you start

  267. lifting up the name of God he knows that it glorifies God he knows that it raises up God's

  268. name and he knows things are going to start happening right and you can tell that the

  269. devil is serious about shutting this down he's serious about shutting down our praise

  270. he's serious about shutting down our worship and here's one of the ways you can tell did

  271. you ever notice the people that don't follow Jesus that don't love Jesus that don't claim

  272. to Jesus in any way as Lord and Savior of their life did you ever notice that they still

  273. use his name you know they don't use it like we use it they use it in vain they'll use

  274. it as a way to curse they'll use it as a way of cussing they'll use it in some kind of

  275. derogatory manner some manner right in some way and you'll hear them call the name of

  276. Jesus Christ and they're not using it for the they're not praising God they're not

  277. lifting it up and somehow the enemy and these people who don't even believe in Jesus they

  278. don't believe that he's got somehow the enemy manipulates them into speaking about Jesus

  279. in a derogatory manner you know why because if they would start to praise him he knows

  280. what's going to start to happen he knows if they start to praise him if they start calling

  281. on the name of Jesus that the gates of hell begin to shutter just a bit right the demons

  282. begin to flee he knows that and you can watch it over and over and again in society I'll

  283. see it on TV I'll hear it out in the streets and they're using the name of Jesus Christ

  284. in a derogatory manner and it's the enemy it's the enemy organ because he doesn't want

  285. you praising he does not want you worshiping because when you begin to praise when you

  286. begin to worship when you begin to lift up the name of Jesus things begin to shake in

  287. the spiritual things begin to happen in the spiritual acceptable worship is a verbal expression

  288. of lifting up the name of Jesus Christ amen it's true Hebrews 13 15 says this therefore

  289. by him it says Jesus let us continually offer this sacrifice of praise to God that is the

  290. fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name fruit comes from your lips expressions and

  291. gestures towards God it prays comes out of our lips do you know that our mouth is either

  292. lifting him up or it's tearing him down or it's not doing anything at all it's kind of

  293. like your car all right you get in your car this morning if you put it in drive it's going

  294. to go for it right it's going to kind of lift you up to wherever you're going to go if you

  295. put it in reverse it's going to take you backwards if you put it in neutral what's it do nothing

  296. okay it does nothing you know if you praise if you start to praise God it's going to begin

  297. to lift him up and when he gets lifted up he'll lift you up and God will begin to work if

  298. you if you start to speak the name of Jesus in a vain manner it's going to move you backwards

  299. in the spiritual it's going to put you backwards in a place and if you don't do anything at

  300. all guess what's going to happen a bunch of nothing you're going to be in neutral our

  301. mouths our bodies those strings those instruments we engage in expressions and gestures of worship

  302. because worship praise equals worship all right how about another expression of worship

  303. how about I give you something else to look at his worship this morning James 1 16 says

  304. this he says do not be deceived be deceived my beloved brother let me say that again do

  305. not be deceived my beloved brother every good gift say good gift and every perfect gift

  306. is from above and comes down from the father of lights with whom there is no variation

  307. of shadow of turning of his own will he brought us forth by his word of truth that we might

  308. be a kind of first fruits of his creatures when I use what God has gifted me with for

  309. a godly purpose it is a spiritual act of worship this is one we might not think of very often

  310. we might not really you know you probably don't think about that when you're walking

  311. into church when I use what God has gifted me with for a godly purpose it is a spiritual

  312. act of worship it really is I've watched parents sometimes of children or teenagers and and

  313. I love these kind of proud moments I see with these parents when God starts to use their

  314. child and they start to use the gifts of God that God's put in their life and their and

  315. their children and all of a sudden you just see them begin to use this gift and it's for

  316. a godly purpose and it begins to glorify God and you see these parents they almost want

  317. to bust there's like that's so awesome right there's like yes you know they're there just

  318. because it is it's an amazing thing and that's how God that's worship to God I don't know

  319. if you know that or not but when you start using what God has gifted you with when you

  320. start using you know what he's given you do you know that that's your superpower I don't

  321. know if you know that or not that's your superpower God has gifted each one of you with something

  322. and when God's hand begins to get on that something that gift that he's put in your

  323. life and he begins to anoint that gift and the Holy Spirit begins to use that gift for

  324. godly purposes it all of a sudden becomes your superpower you're not the super in it

  325. right you're just kind of using the gift and all of a sudden the Holy Spirit uses it it

  326. is a superpower for his purpose and it is worship it is spiritual worship let me reread

  327. James 1 16 again do not be deceived my beloved brother for every good gift and every perfect

  328. gift is from above and comes down from the father of lights with whom there is no variation

  329. of shadow or of turning so the gifts come from God right it comes from the Lord now

  330. he begins in 18 of his own will he brought so he's talking about gifts and then he starts

  331. talking about you of his own gift he brought us forth by the word of truth that we might

  332. be kind of first fruits of his creatures you got to understand what the word say in there

  333. first fruits that goes back into the Old Testament that's a tithing principle that's a piece

  334. of the whole it's 10% that's what tithe means first fruits when we get first fruits we give

  335. our first and we give our best to God it's the first 10% that we give to God and it's

  336. a piece of the whole it's that 10% and we're kind of the word of God says that we're kind

  337. of his first fruits of creation us as people we're kind of his first fruits we're kind

  338. of a chip off the old block kind of thing right God create us and to understand where

  339. I'm going with this you got to go back into Genesis chapter 1 verse 27 and it says so

    Genesis 1:27

  340. God created man in his own image how many know an image is a reflection of right it's

  341. an image of something in the image of God he created them male and female he created

  342. them so we are an image we are a first fruit of creation we are kind of a chip off the

  343. old block of God right and how many know God's extremely gifted anybody figure that out and

  344. matter of fact he has them all right there is no gift that he doesn't he has gifts that

  345. we can't even dream up and he's got all these things and you were made in his image you

  346. were made as part of a first fruits of his creation a kind of first fruit first fruits

  347. the word of God says and in here and and what he does is he gives you a small fraction of

  348. something of who God is he places in you he puts it inside of you and when you begin to

  349. use that something whatever it is that God has placed in you and the word and the Holy

  350. Spirit comes upon it it becomes a superpower and when you begin to use that for godly purposes

  351. it is worship I think I think God stands I think Jesus smiles I think they lean back

  352. they kind of bust just a little bit when you start using whatever God's gifted you with

  353. for godly purposes and they see that unfold I love this illustration it's in Exodus chapter

  354. three and it really kind of describes what I'm talking about here Exodus 31 and one says

  355. this then the Lord spoke to Moses saying see I have called Basilio now Basilio we're going

  356. to hear about his gift right the son of Uri the son of her of the tribe of Judah and I

  357. have filled him with the Spirit of God now listen this is Old Testament you got to go

  358. into the New Testament the second book of Acts before the Holy Spirit falls and fills

  359. all the believers but back in the Old Testament this man Basilio is filled with the Spirit

  360. of God and in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all manners of workmanship

  361. to design artistic works to work in gold in silver in bronze in cutting jewels for setting

  362. in carving wood and to work in all manners of workmanship and I indeed I have appointed

  363. with him a whole lib the son of Ashma of the tribe of Dan and I have put wisdom in the

  364. hearts of all the gifted artisans that they may make all that I have commanded you the

  365. tabernacle of meeting listen Jesus or the father was instructing Moses on the tabernacle

  366. he was to build the tabernacle and he says I want you to get Basilio I have gifted him

  367. with something he can work with wood he can work with metal he can work he can work in

  368. all these different arts and I am going to put the Spirit of God upon him and it is going

  369. to be his gift and he is going to build the temple and the temple and its utensils and

  370. the pure gold lamp stand with all its utensils and the altar of incense and the altar of

  371. burnt offering and all the utensils and the laver and its base and the garments of ministry

  372. and the holy garments for Aaron the priest they had all kind of ornaments on those garments

  373. that were done in stone and it goes on and on it talks Basilio's superpower was God had

  374. gifted him with craftsmanship and he said I want you to use it for my purpose I want

  375. you to use it and when you use it for my purpose it is going to be your superpower people are

  376. going to notice what you do and it is going to bring glory to me not to yourself but to

  377. me it was his superpower it is worship when your gift and God has given every one of you

  378. gifts when you use that gift in some manner for God now that might get used out in the

  379. marketplace you might be out in the marketplace and you are going to use your gift do you

  380. know you should be the most diligent most impressive employee somebody has when you

  381. are doing your work the word of God says you should do it as unto the Lord and you know

  382. what happens the Holy Spirit comes upon your work the gifting that is in your life and

  383. all of a sudden somebody takes notice of what is going on they are like this isn't the same

  384. as anybody else I can't figure it out can't put my finger on it I don't really understand

  385. why but there is just something different here there is something about what they are

  386. doing there is something about the gift I know other people got that same kind of gift but

  387. it is not the same it is her superpower and it is worship to God amen nobody thought that

  388. this morning did that it is worship it is worship I am going to ask you to stand I am

  389. going to ask if the praise team would come I witnessed just a little bit of this this

  390. week at VBS as Pastor Andrew led his team to do VBS and minister to children here in

  391. the house I watched all the different team members and I watched as they used their gift

  392. and all kind of giftings took place anything from the crafts and the snack and ministering

  393. to the kids and all these different ways began to watch that take place and I could see their

  394. super powers I could see God's hand using the gifting in their lives as they ministered

  395. to somebody else and it is amazing I was a little bit like those parents I was just kind

  396. of busting a little bit I was like this is so cool to see what God is doing in their

  397. lives we speak praise but it is the gift of God that He has given you that you turn over

  398. to Him and figure out how you are going to use that for His purpose and for His plan

  399. amen it happens with business owners it happens with craftsmen it happens with nurses and

  400. doctors and wherever you are at stay at home moms wherever you are stationed at use your

  401. gift let God use that because it is worship how many enjoy when your child you give them

  402. a gift and they use the gift how many of you are pretty thrilled when you buy a gift especially

  403. if it is expensive alright you buy that expensive gift at Christmas and the kid just sets it

  404. aside and never uses the gift you use that thing right mom and dad are just like yeah

  405. that is awesome right the gift of God it is worship it is worship I am going to ask you

  406. to do something I am going to ask you to come forward this morning just step out we are

  407. just going to pray together up here you need to move a little stretch I have had you sitting

  408. a little bit just make your way up forward here as you walk forward I want you to first

  409. of all to understand praise this is something that comes out of our lips so we are going

  410. to give God praise we are going to sing together we are going to praise Him in song and if

  411. you do not like to sing hum Jesus is ok with that alright come on move up move up so everybody

  412. can get up here y'all just stopped about half way I do not know why I cannot figure it out

  413. I am going to put a red light or green light in or something I do not know move up just

  414. a little bit nobody wants to get too close I know this is a spin zone but if I start

  415. preaching again He has gifted every one of you you should praise Him for that some of

  416. you do not think you are gifted by the way and first thing you need to do is understand

  417. that He has gifted you He never leaves anybody out in that you just got to find what that

  418. gift is and you got to begin to use that for His purpose and His plan wherever you are

  419. at wherever God has planned to do wherever circles you are in with that but He wants

  420. to use that gift and we need to praise Him alright so we are going to sing first and

  421. then we are going to pray and I am not going to sing they shut my mic off with that

  422. I just want to speak the name of Jesus over every heart and every mind because I know

  423. there is peace within your presence I speak Jesus I just want to speak the name of Jesus

  424. till every dark addiction starts to break declaring there is hope and there is freedom

  425. I speak Jesus your name is power your name is healing your name is life break every strong

  426. hold shine through the shadows burn like a fire I just want to speak the name of Jesus

  427. over fear and all anxiety to every soul held captive by depression I speak Jesus

  431. I speak the holy name Jesus your name is power your name is healing your name is life break

  432. every strong hold shine through the shadows burn like a fire I was just thinking maybe

  433. the next time you hear somebody say Jesus name the wrong way maybe you ought to just

  434. stop and tell them about him yeah yeah yeah just stop and say hey let me tell you a little

  435. bit about who you are talking about right there because you don't understand you don't

  436. understand right speak something speak something positive to his name speak something that

  437. will lift him up in that place but I want to pray for you this morning we're going to

  438. do two things I want to pray over you I want some of you look I want you to start thinking

  439. about that gift that God's given you those gifts it's probably plural by the way all

  440. right I want you to look for those gifts and I want you to engage those and see what God

  441. does all right turn them over to God give them to God ask the Holy Spirit to cover those

  442. gifts say I want you to come in I need you to anoint my gift when you talk about anointing

  443. in the Word of God the oil of anointing you're talking about the Holy Spirit it's kind of

  444. synonymous all right he's the one that anoints so ask for that anointing on that all right

  445. and then after that after we pray along those lines I feel really letting compelled to pray

  446. for people that need healing this morning I want to I want anybody that needs healing

  447. step forward all right they left a nice gap here for you you can just yeah I want you

  448. to step forward we're going to pray for you and I want the Saints to gather in behind

  449. them because we're going to pray for healing and that can be physical healing that can

  450. be financial healing that can be healing of any kind but I want I want to do that but

  451. I want to pray a prayer over you first about your gift all right I want you to bow your

  452. heads right now God's gifted you He's gifted you and your spiritual act of worship is using

  453. that gift for His glory for His purposes wherever you're at by the way come before you right

  454. now I thank you for each one that's in the house I think those are listening online God

  455. you've given gifts the Word of God declares that all through the New Testament Holy Spirit

  456. you give gifts some of those gifts are empowered by you and some of those are talents and abilities

  457. that are placed in our lives and God I pray right now Lord that you would just move and

  458. God that those giftings God would be used for the kingdom God I pray Lord that they

  459. would be birthed and Lord that we would hand them over to the Holy Spirit and His anointing

  460. power His presence and power would come upon it and God it would bring glory and honor

  461. to you and God that it would become a superpower in their lives not for not for our sake God

  462. not to lift up our name but God to lift up the name of Christ Lord that men might see

  463. your good works and they might glorify God that's what the Word says so Lord I pray that

  464. I speak that now Lord birth something in a heart Lord some some small thing that they

  465. thought was trivial and they thought was not a gift and Lord right now you're speaking

  466. in their lives and they're realizing that they have something that can be used for you

  467. it could be a small thing it could be a creative thing it could be an ability a heart to do

  468. something maybe they see things like nobody else sees things God whatever that gifting

  469. is God use it Lord let them turn it over to you right now God literally God I pray in

  470. their hearts and minds they literally physically see themselves turning over to Holy Spirit

  471. and say use this in my life for your kingdom and I give you glory and honor in Jesus name

  472. amen amen it could even be an interest you have do you know that God could use that very

  473. interest I've seen I've seen ministries birth out of crazy stuff like hunting and fishing

  474. just you name it and God uses it alright let him use it
