A Lifestyle of Worship

You're listening to the Cross Kingdom Sermon of the Week.

We hope you enjoyed this message from Justin Carpenter. An

Alliance meeting and we all committed to knowing each other.

We committed to meeting weekly and getting to know each other,

build relationship and seek the Father's heart for the region.

You know, this is this is there's in the midst

of such tragedy. The Lord is moving in amazing ways.

I know that Chay and Kylie and who else was

with you all for the Bible study? And Kim, how

many kids y'all have at the Ingram High School Bible study?

Forty six kids showed up to the Bible study. And Yeah,

the Lord is on the move and it's increasing. You know,

I have an inkling or a nudging. I guess I

have a feeling, let me say it that way, that

as we move into this harvest and this outpouring, you know,

I don't know positively that it's absolutely going to just

be a moment of explosion. I think that will come,

but I think we're going to continue to see an

increase like this, and as we steward it, it'll just

keep going up and up and up. And up. Remember

the point of revival. Revival is not for the world,

revivals for the church, and revival doesn't mean that we

were doing revivals. Come in His mercy to revive us.

And then as we are revived and we stay in

a renewed place, renewal, then an awakening can come because

then we are actually about our father's business at that point,

making disciples of all nations, advancing the kingdom. And one

of the things that I talked about with the pastor's

Friday here was that you know, so many times we

can as shepherds, you can get so internally focused on

just your immediate responsibility that you can lose sight of

that apostolic calling that is over the church, of making

disciples of all nations. And that is one of the

prime I mean, one of the reasons why we need

a fivefold ministry is because shepherds, if they're not prophetic

in nature or apostolic in nature, will tend to be

solely focused on just inside the house. Does that make sense?

But as you have your apostolic and prophetic, which are

your builders in the kingdom, they are more visionary in nature.

And then obviously the prophetic works works with the Apostolic

to help bring the timing of Heaven coming to Earth

and his strategic plans. And so we are definitely in

unprecedented times in every area we have. I did a

short recap first service, but we have helped eleven hundred

people in our community with distribution. Yeah. And one of

the things one of the ministers that was here Friday

has done disaster relief all over the world. And he

said two things that shocked me, because anybody feel like

it's been the wild while West with this recovery, and

you're like in the in the level of like there's

no headquarters. Everybody's just trying to do their best and stuff. Well,

let me let me encourage you. In the midst of

all of this. The pastor said that we are nine

months to twelve months ahead of any disastery recovery he

has ever been a part of ever. And that's well

and and and this is someone who does global disaster recovery.

Number two, he has never seen pastors come together in church,

the Big Sea Church the way he has seen Kurville

pastors come together. So I uh, you know, they're and

things are finally starting to come together more and more

and there's the long Term Recovery Group and there's nine seats,

and there was fighting over the seats because you know,

it's political garbage. But thankfully the right people are or

in the places and they're One of those seats is

actually for mental health and spirituality for the church, and

that is Pastor David Payne, who's the pastor over the

United Methodist Church. David has a very tender heart, a

sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and he did not want

the seat, but I believe he's the right man for it.

And they have created a subcommittee that will have multiple

pastors or not maybe not multiple, but several pastors from

the region that we will all come together and talk

about the recovery and make sure that the spirituality is

there in the recovery. And then he will represent the

Big c Church in that seat. He asked me Friday

to be a part of that. So I will be

a part of that committee besides the West Kirk Chamber

task Force. And we have fifty eight applications left at

the moment, with about fifty six thousand in the recovery account.

I have a ten am conference call with a couple

out of Austin that wants to donate an additional seventy

thousand tomorrow, and the Task Force has committed to help

get more immediate relief into the hands of these other

fifty eight families. And so we will finish out strong.

And so we are listen, y'all, it's when we just

do what He's called us to do. Amazing things happen

when we just get out there and serve be the

hands and feet of Jesus. Not care about the Cross

Kingdom logo or label or promoting any of that. You

promote Jesus. He's the whole reason we're here. And if

he doesn't show up, I'd rather go home and go

to bed, sleep in, have lots of call for you

when I wake up, because He's the whole reason we

want to make him famous, not ourselves. Right, So over

the last couple of weeks. Week two weeks ago, Kylie

taught on Heaven is your Home. Yeah, I know, take

a deep breath. I'm not telling you to be quiet.

I'm saying take a deep breath because the Holy Spirit's

shifting in the room right now. So Heaven is your

home and Earth is your assignment. Last week, Sean talked

about eternity and how eternity is outside of time. And

we were geeking out a little bit last night around

the campfire talking about, you know, how he could have

gone like really deep with the issue of the speed

of light and time and and how all that stuff works.

I love all that stuff, and I think I lose

brain cells why thinking about it. But I really enjoy

it because y'all have heard me say, what if Moses

and Elijah were both alive in their own timelines and

and and separate times, pulled out of time and put

onto the amount of transfiguration with Jesus, and then each

put back into their timelines even though in the current

moment it was that time, because God created time and

he's outside of time. And so in the in the

lie of the understanding that Heaven is our home earth,

we're transience on this earth, it says, our life appears

for a little bit, it's a vapor and then vanishes.

And then you think, in light of eternity, you have

one life. We don't know how long we're going to

be here. It says, don't boast yourself of tomorrow because

you do not know what tomorrow will bring. Sufficient is

the trouble of the day that we're in, and so

I want to start I want to stay kind of

in that theme, and I actually want to talk to

you about a lifestyle of worship, because that's why were

we created. We were created to be in relationship with Him,

to walk with him, to be in union with him,

to worship him all the days of our lives. It's

not just a soap opera. Oh sorry, you young folks,

won't These are the days of our lives. My mother

would torture me with that soap opera when I was

a kid, and I would watch these stupid soap operas

all my children. General Hospital. Oh yeah, oh yeah, Luke

was the man right, And you wonder why the cashier

last week was like, so, what is your relationship but

a lifestyle of worship, y'all? John four twenty three to

twenty four. It says, but the hour is coming and

is now here when the true worshipers will worship the

Father in spirit and truth. For the Father is seeking

such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those

who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. Too

many times we are walking in our soul, and our

soul is ruling us, and we are convinced that we're

being spiritual because too many times we don't have the

discernment to be able to figure out when our soul

is ruling versus our spirit. We convince ourselves with soulish

desires that it's God's will. I'm absolutely supposed to do this. Well,

why well, I just feel it so strongly, And we

can end up shipwrecking our faith because of soulish desires,

convincing ourselves that it is God's will and that we're

walking in the spirit in that area of our life.

And then you can get people who are highly gifted

but may not have the best motive, or may even

be immature with their gift, and they begin to burden

bear and pick up on that desire of your soul,

and then you're answered, according to your idol, the worst

thing in the world is for you to hold on

to a soulish desire so tightly that God gives you

over to that desire. Because that's exactly what happened with

Jeremiah on his day. They he said, will I be

inquired of you with the and you come to me

with the abundance of idols in your heart? He says,

I will answer you according to your idol. You don't

want that. We need our soul to love God. It's

a great servant, but a horrible master. And in the

garden it flipped. Your spirit was no longer ruling when

sin came in. The whole thing flipped. Derek Prince, who

was an amazing teacher from the UK and actually the

shav Doas. Mahesh and Bonnie were under Derek and co

pastored with him for years in Florida. Mahesh was the

spiritual son of Derek and traveled the world with him.

Derek was because he was from the UK. He always

took proper naps. Mahesh said, no matter where they were,

Africa didn't matter. He goes, Derek would get into his

pajamas and take his afternoon proper nap. I don't know

how many of you put on pajamas for an afternoon nap,

but that is definitely an English thing, you know what

I mean? Like tea time. I prefer coffee time. But

Derek said this. For now, let me say that the

contemporary church has little understanding of the nature of worship,

mainly because we do not discern the difference between the

spirit and the soul. Worship is not entertainment that belongs

in a theater, not the church. Nor is worship the

same as praise. We praise God with our souls, and

it is right to do so. It is through worship

that we enjoy true spiritual union with Him. Let me

back up. Through our praise we have access to God's presence,

But once we're in his presence, it is through worship

that we enjoy true spiritual union with Him. To be

able to worship God in this way, first on earth

and then in Heaven, is the goal of salvation. It

is the highest and holiest activity of which a human

being is capable. It is only possible, however, when the

soul and the body come into submission to the Spirit

and in harmony with it. Such worship is often too

profound for words. It becomes an intense and silent union

with God, y'all. My senior year of high school, I

was at Grace Baptist Academy in Kankakee, Illinois, and I

finished out the last two years in a private school

because our high school was brutal and I hated it.

I hated it to such a degree I was either

suspended or skipped forty nine days my sophomore year and

I'm your pastor, and my senior year, I literally had

to take six self study courses to be able to

graduate on time. Now I got saved at seventeen, so

I straightened up. And then I met Lisa and Pensacola

Christian College in ninety six, so I you know, I

got on the right path, the highway of holiness. But

I was the my senior year. They they actually didn't

let me go on the senior leadership trip because they

were not convinced I would graduate on time. And I

ended up being the only male in the entire senior

class that was actually walking with Jesus that year. And

when I went across the stage on time, I might add,

by the grace of the Lord Jesus, the vice principal

personally apologized to me and shook my hand. That's called

vindication people. Derek Prince also said this, we have we

have passed from utterance to attitude. We began with praise

and thanksgiving, but that was not the goal. When Christians

stopped with raise and thanksgiving, they have missed the goal.

The goal is worship, which is not an utterance, but

an attitude. See, we can sit here for an hour

and sing songs, and some of you can be worshiping,

and some of you can just simply be singing. Some

of you can be singing in total rebellion and sin,

and some of you can be singing in holiness. It's

good to give thanks and praise the Lord. But that's

a doorway, it's a gait. It's a portal into union,

into true worship and spirit and truth. And until you

allow the Kingdom of Heaven to advance inside of you,

it will never advance through you, because you can't taken

in somebody else that the enemy has in you. Jesus said,

Satan is coming, and I have nothing in common with him.

Every area that you have commonality with the enemy in

your life, you have forfeited your authority because of that sin.

And you will not walk in authority in that area

of your life until repentance and transformation happens. You're welcome.

One Thessalonians five sixteen to eighteen says this, rejoice, always rejoice,

always rejoice, always rejoice always. Don't just rejoice sometimes. Don't

just rejoice when you get a raise. Don't just rejoice

when someone says something nice about you. Don't rejoice when

your relationships are going right. Always rejoice, rejoice, always pray

without cease, but keep your eyes open if your driving

give thanks in some circumstances when you feel like it. No,

that's not what it says. Give thanks in all circumstances,

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.

For you, Hey, I don't know what God's will is

for my life. Rejoice, always, pray without ceasing, and give

thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of

God in Christ Jesus, our Lord, Bam. You didn't even

need an angelic visitation for that. Rejoice always. We have

the power to choose joy. Joy comes in the act

of obedience of rejoicing. There are times when the act

of rejoicing is perhaps the greatest act of faith we

will see. Rejoicing is a he to emotional health. Pray

without ceasing. This is similar to Jesus's instruction in John

fifteen seven to abide in him. The constant and ongoing

fellowship with Him is what positions us to ask for anything,

and it will be done. This is the positioning his

people to have influence over what happens on planet Earth.

Praying is a key to spiritual health and everything give thanks.

It is nearly impossible to be thankful for everything in

and of itself, but a thankful heart is in the

midst of unexplainable tragedy renders the enemy powerless over the believer.

This powerful expression happens because of our trust in God.

I might add ruthless trust. He makes all things work

together for good. That is why we can give thanks

in the midst of any circumstance. Thankfulness is a key

to mental health. So rejoicing always brings emotional health, Praying

without ceasing brings spiritual health, and giving thanks in every

circumstance brings mental health. I pulled this excerpt out of

Removing This Sting of Death by Bill Johnson's newest book.

Too many times we're more concerned about a quick fix

for our soul and our emotion than we are actually

worshiping the Lord. Too many times we stop at the

door of union and just say, oh, thank you, Lord.

Oh I thank you that changed Lord, thank you that

circum Oh thank you. They're out of my life. I'm

so I'm so holy. Now they're no longer triggering me

because they're not in front of me. Lord, thank you. Yeah,

he's called us to true union, he's called us to freedom.

That's a fruit tester, ladies, when someone's in somebody you

think you forgave, and then they're in front of you

and you're like shandai cool rabadah, and you're getting all

fired up, right, all of a sudden, you realize there's

something you've not forgiven because you actually didn't take inventory

of the debt you were holding against that person. You

just did this nice soulish prayer, a blanketed prayer. Oh Lord,

I forgive them, please remove them from my life, but

also bless them. But no, seriously, y'all, like the True

Test of Total Forgiveness, which is an excellent book by RT. Kendall,

by the way, and his newest book is really going

to tick off a lot of people because it's on

doctrines of demons and he's addressing universalism, cessationism, things of

that nature. I'm sure he's going to get a few

emails humanism. I could rabbit trail, but I'm gonna behave so. Yes,

I'm growing up. So the question is, how do you

know when you're actually walking in the spirit versus walking

in your soul. Is one of the most dangerous things

in the world is for you to be and your

soul and to think you're actually walking in the spirit.

Too many times Christians never get past taking up their

cross and actually bringing their soul into submission. God didn't

call you to kill your soul because you need your

soul to love the Lord, your God with all your heart,

with all your strength, with all your mind. Right, what

is your soul? Your mind, your will, your emotions, Does

God think, does God desire? Does God feel? Yeah, we're

made in His image, But your soul is not to

rule you communion, conscience, and wisdom, which is what makes

up your spirit. Your spirit is to rule. So many

times we are physical ailments are actually manifesting our soul.

And many times when we go through inner healing, and

I've seen this a lot through the inner healing, people

get physical healing. I'm not saying that's always the always

the situation, but if you've been battling and you're wondering,

maybe it's maybe that illness is potentially tired, tied to

a wound or bitterness. Bitterness rots the bones. Read proverbs.

You'd be shocked at how much it has to say

about the soul and different things. So there are seven

Hebrew words for praise. The first one is halal, and

as a primary Hebrew root word for praise, it's the

word hallelujah. Where that's the root for where we get hallelujah.

It means to be clear, to praise, to shine, to boast, celebrate,

to be clamorously foolish. Psalms one thirteen one to three.

Praise you the Lord, Praise O you servants of the Lord.

Praise the name of the Lord. Psalm one fifty verse one.

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

and his mighty Expanse number two yah dah. And it's

a verb with a root meaning the extended hand, to

throw out the hand. Therefore, to worship with extended hand,

to lift the hands. According to the lexicon, the opposite

meaning is to bemoan, or the wrinkling of the hands. Oh,

when you read the psalms and you read these words

for praise and thanksgiving as you're entering into the sanctuary,

you're not going like this. Thank you Lord ha luliyah,

I praise you and you're not silent. It's not silent.

You can't you can't praise the Lord in silence like this.

That means you have permission to not care what anybody

else thinks. I said this first service. If you're attending

Cross Kingdom, y'all, guess what. People already think you're weird,

so it doesn't matter. Second, Chronicles twenty twenty one says,

give thanks ya dah to the Lord for his loving

kindness is everlasting Psalm sixty sixty three one. So I

will bleame bless you as long as I live. I

will ya dah or ya da, however you want to

say it. Lift up my hands in your name Psalm

one oh seven fifteen, Oh, that men would praise the

Lord for his goodness and for his wonderful works to

the children of men, y'all. This is why it's natural

to put your hands up when you're praising the Lord,

like some of y'all are, like, hold the baby. That's

how we write, Tim Hawkins, Hold the baby, go go

you know first, uh, you know what the little way

the little and then hold the baby. Feel gold. Mufassa

mufasa h Hawkins is awesome, my uh, Casey and Charity Cubic.

Our dear friends are really close to Tim and his wife.

One of these days I want to try to get

Tim Hawkins here. So number three, Tadah comes from the

same principal root word as ya dah or yadah I

don't have enough flim sorry, but has used more specifically.

Tada literally means an extension of the hand in adoration

of vow or acceptance by way of application. It is

apparent in the Psalms and elsewhere that it is used

for thanking God for things not yet received, as well

as things already at hand. So that's when you give

thanks before it happens. Why, Because scripture is clear, anything

you ask in his name according to His will is done.

That's why it's yes and amen. It's not name it,

claim it, slap it, papp it. It's pray according to

the Lord's will. And anything you pray according to his

will in the name of Jesus, it is done. So

the issue is to get into y'all. Okay, got a

wild bunch this morning. I'm gonna stay out of trouble.

But it's toda, not like magic toada but Psalm fifty fourteen,

offer unto God, praise and pay thy vows unto the

most High. Psalm fifty twenty three. Whoso offers praise glorifies

me and to him that orders his conversation, aright, will

I show the salvation of God? Number four. Shabbah means

to shout, to address in a loud tone, to command,

to triumph Psalm forty seven to one, Oh, clap your hands,

all peoples, shout to God with the voice of joy

or triumph. There's nothing quiet about that, y'all, Like you

have full permission to not be quiet in church. I

don't need to encourage you anymore, but some of y'all

need some encouragement. Psalm one forty five four one generation

shall praise that word Shabbah thy works. Don't don't ever.

I just want to give you all a disclaimer. Probably

don't repeat my annunciations for Hebrew and Greek, because if

you get somebody that actually knows how to say it right,

they're probably gonna look at you sideways. But Psalms one

forty five one generation shall praise, So shout Thy works

to another and declare Thy mighty acts. Y'all, you see

that when we're fully engaged, walking with the Lord, praising,

thanking him, and in worship. It is spirit, soul and body.

Your body is active in this process. It says, offer

your body as a living sacrifice. Remember prophecy, edification, exhortation,

and comfort. It addresses spirit, soul and body. I exhort

you every time you see that word exhort It has

to do with your physical body. To edify always has

to do with your spirit, and to comfort always has

to do with your soul. He cares about you being

spiritually emotionally healthy. Paul said that you would be sanctified, spirit,

soul and body. Number five Barack not Barack Obama. Barack

means to kneel down to bless God as an act

of adoration, to salute y'all. It is not abnormal. It

should not be abnormal to see people kneel down, because

this is a part of what He's called us to.

I can promise you that if the literally weighty glory

of God, his weighty cabode presence filled this room right now,

we would all at minimum be on our knees, are

laid flat. The glory would come in the Old Covenant

to such a degree nobody could stand and nobody could

go in saw him ninety five six. Oh, come, let

us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord,

our maker, First Chronicles twenty nine to twenty. Then David

said to all the assembly, now bless the Lord your God,

and that is Barakh. And all the assembly blessed the Lord,

the God of their fathers. Y'all, if you don't do

word studies, if you don't go back to the original language,

you miss so much in translation into the English language.

There's all these different words that translate praise, and yet

they're all different aspects of praise, just like there's multiple

words that translate dream. And one of the meanings of

one of the are y'all getting whacked over? There? Would

I was? Unlike? Is my fly down? On what's going on?

And one of the words for dream literally means to

grow strong. Have you ever had a dream that you

knew was from God and you literally felt more strength

and vitality after having that dream? That is one of

the meanings one of the Hebrew words that's translated to

dream to grow strong. That was free. That's my angel

over there. Maybe I don't know if he's over there

hopefully somewhere around me. Psal I'm thirty four to eleven.

I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise

shall continually be in my mouth. So how about this, y'all?

How about this way? Oh come, let us worship and

bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord, our maker.

Then David said to the assembly, now bless kneel, bless

the Lord, your God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord.

They all kneeled. Derek Prince talked about having the entire

church one service, get down on their knees, and all

of a sudden, the Holy Spirit just moved in a

mighty way through the entire sanctuary because of a nudging

of the Holy Spirit for them to be obedient to

Barak the Lord. See. Physical obedience can bring spiritual breakthrough.

Zamar means to pluck the strings of an instrument, to sing,

to praise a musical word, which is largely involved with

joyful expression of music with musical instruments. Hence why we

have musical instruments Psalm twenty one to thirteen. Be exalted,

O Lord, in thine own strength, So will we sing

and praise Zamar Thy power. First Chronicle sixteen to nine,

sing to him, sing praises Zamar to him, speak of

all his wonders. And one more Psalm fifty seven eighty nine,

Awake my life, Awake harp and liar, I will awaken

the dawn. I will give thanks to you, Oh Lord,

among the peoples, I will sing praises Zamar to thee

among the nations. And then number seven Tahila. And it

is derived from the word halal and means the singing

of halal, to sing or to loud, perceive to involve music,

especially singing. Hymns of the Spirit are praise. So when

you find yourselves in a place and where and one

of the worship leaders says, hey, sing sing your own

song or sing sing under the Lord in the spirit,

that is tahila. It's not just some charismatic height to

get you spurred up into a frenzy. It's actually biblical.

It is a Hebrew word. See it is spirit in truth, y'all.

And like RT. Kendall said, there's been a silent divorce

in the church. And just like in the natural, some

kids go with Dad and some kids go with mom,

we've had a divorce in the church where some are word,

and some are spirit. And it's not either or it's both.

And as we bring them together, that's when that spontaneous

conbustion of his outpouring of his spirit happens. Psal, I'm

twenty two to three. Yet you are holy, oh you

who aren't enthroned upon the praises of Israel, the Tahila

of Israel Isaiah sixty one to three, to grant to

those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland of

praise instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning,

the mantle of praise, tahila instead of the spirit of fainting.

So they shall be called oaks of righteousness, the planting

of the Lord that he may be glorified. So those

are literally seven different Hebrew words that are all translated

as praise. That you would never have a clue on

the issue of praise, that if you did not go

back into the original language. You have to understand something.

The prophets and the seers were all musicians. When we

hear about this spontaneous worship and prophetic worship, even the

instruments were designed with the capacity to prophesy. Florence is

like justin you need to back off, David. And the

chiefs of the service also set apart for the service

the sons of Asaf and of he Man, which was

one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid,

a man and wrong power, and of Jethaan who prophesied

with liars, with harps and with symbols. They prophesied so

that music was literally speaking something. I think that's amazing.

The list of those who did the work and all

the duties, and it goes through all the sons of

Asaf and then all the directors of their fathers. But

the point of this they were all under the direction

of their father and and music in the house of

the Lord, with symbols, harps, liars for the service of

the house of God. And they were all seers and prophets,

and they and they would prophesy with their instruments. It's

no different than when the prophet said, when they wanted

to inquire of the Lord, he says, hey, bring me

a musician, and the musician began to play prophetically and

it shifted the atmosphere and open in a spirit of prophecy,

and then he began to prophisy. The musicians prophesied with

their instruments. In verse twenty five to one and three,

the Levites were the worship leaders. David also commanded the

chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brothers as the

singers who should play loudly on musical instruments. I might

add on harps and liars and symbols, and to raise

sounds of joy. Y'all have to understand something. Satan, I

got what I'm gonna land the plane, Give me five minutes.

Satan was the head worship leader over the sanctuaries in

Heaven plural. Why do you think he owns the music industry?

Why do you think they cut blood covenants for success?

Make no mistake they do. It's not hidden. They talk

about it openly. I won't rabbit trail it, says son

of Man. Take up a lamentation for the King of

Tyree and say to him, Thus says the Lord God,

you were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and

perfect and beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God.

Every precious stone was your covering. The sardest topaz and diamond,

baryl onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The

workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you

on the day you were created. You were the anointed

cherub who covers. I established you. You were on the

holy Mountain of God. You walked back and forth in

the midst of the fiery stones. If you pay attention

and you cross reference those fiery stones with Revelation and

the Throne Room of God, you actually recognize that those

two stones represent the Son in the Holy Spirit and

the fathers, explaining that he literally was walking in the

bosom of the Father, and that's how close he was

with the Godhead walking in the midst Ezekiel twenty eight eighteen.

You defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities,

by the iniquity of your trading. Therefore I brought you,

brought fire from your midst. It devoured you, and I

turned you to ashes upon the earth, and the sight

of all who saw you. Prophetic worship brings deliverance. And

whenever the harmful spirit from God was upon Saul, David

took the lyre and played it with his hand. So

Saul was refreshed and was well, and the harmful spirit

departed from him. First Samuel sixteen twenty three. I'll tell

you what I'll never forget. I was doing a I

used to have a tiny, little two hundred square foot

Alivius on Water Street three three three Waters Step and Uh,

I was doing a prayer ministry session doing deliverance at

that moment with somebody and they and they mentioned that

there was a specific song that the that tormenting spirit

that would bug her. The spirit hated the song. I said, really,

I go, what's the name of that song? I'll take

some help. And uh and she told me the name

of the song, and it was a Spanish song, some

Spanish worship dude. And Uh, I played that song. And

within thirty seconds of playing that song, and I'm not exaggerating,

I watched this a full manifestation of this spirit pop

out of her and it was green and and and

had red in it and walked right through the wall

out of my office and and and literally that prophetic

song brought her to some all looking like I'm crazy.

So you have to understand something. In the Old Covenants.

It talks about sears, meaning the ability to see in

the spirit. I've been able to see since I was

a kid, and I didn't know. It did not feel

like a gift to me. It felt like a curse

because I would wake up with tormenting dreams see demons

in the room. Was not raised in a Christian home,

and my grandmother thought I had a very vivid imagination,

and so, yeah, there's always that side of things. But literally,

that spirit popped right out based off of that song. Y'all,

if you are in a difficult season of your life,

the last thing you need to be doing is listening

to listening to a bunch of garbage secular music, and

you need to be listening to worship music. Now, let

me give you a caveat. I do not think all

secular music is bad. And I listened to some secular

music of all, like Joe Bonamasa, who Killer Guitar Player,

and some anyways not the Rabbit trow like a little

country music only when Shaun Kendrick singing, get though. Okay,

Prophetic Worship releases the Spirit of Prophecy Revelation nineteen ten.

But now bring me a musician, and when the musician played,

the hand of the Lord came upon him. Second Kings

three point fifteen, and I'm gonna finish With this, David

himself created thousands of instruments who who sing idle songs

to the sound of the harp, and like David, invented

for themselves instruments of music Amus six'. Five the priest

stood at their, post and the levites also with the

instruments for music to The lord That King david had

made for giving thanks to The lord for his steadfast

love endures. Forever Whenever david offered praises by their. Ministry opposite,

them the priest sounded, trumpets and all Of israel Stood

Second chronicles To chronicles seven to. Six four thousand gatekeepers

and four thousand shall offer praises to The lord with

the instruments THAT i have made for. Praise that's What david,

Said First chronicles twenty three to. Five i'll stop BECAUSE

i can't get through the next section without going another twenty.

Minutes if you will live your life understanding what walking

in the spirit. Is walking in spirit and truth that,

says if you walk in the, spirit you will not

fulfill the lust of the. Flesh some of you don't

like your, harvest and it's because of seeds of Corrupt

if you don't like your. Harvest change your. Seed you're

either sowing to the spirit or sowing to the. Flesh
