Attracting God | Dr Myles Munroe

you're gonna focus on part two of worshiping God again write this down please and I will review the source of idolatry please write that down and I want you to listen carefully to what we can talk about tonight because you're going to see why much of our would be called worship does not attract God first of all we want to note the importance of separating the means from the end and that was our foundation last night and this statement is important to write down when more worth is placed on the means than the end then the means become an idol it's like worshipping the hose instead of the the water that's coming through it the means for most of us has become our end and when I say us I refer to myself number two any other worship than God is idolatry any other worship than God is idolatry do you know what was Saul's failure he worshipped worship and then he told God how important worship was to him and he actually told God that worship was more important to him than God he told God that imagine telling God i disobeyed you so I could use my disobedience to worship you that's what salt Oh God you told me to kill all the animals but I kept some disobeyed you so I could worship you with it gods are you crazy you mean you think that the sacrifice is more important than the God you sacrifice into and he never survived his throne he lost his kingdom God is not interested in your song if it's not to him we sing to audiences not to god it's I told you last night it's a very difficult thing to do do you know difficulties to dance be for the Lord with people watching that's tough because you become people conscious so you start wondering how my dress look when I lift my leg I wonder how this thing flows did I turn right just now am i keeping the beat in other words you got all this going on and you're trying to focus on God and all these people want chip how do you sing to God and everybody's watching and suddenly the song becomes more important than the god you're singing and the people who are listening to the song become more important than the goddess singing and so the song under people have become the idol because when the means become more important than the end you have an idol and your first memory is I wonder if that was a good sound I wonder if I did well I wonder what people think I mean when you finish the song it's not how would God thinks he's not I wonder how God received me tonight it was I wonder how they received me tonight it's a tough thing it happens even when you're teaching the Word of God as a preacher many times I have to keep begging God please don't make me say that because I like to be liked by these people and he said if you don't say it you and I have a private talk afterwards and I don't like God's private talks because love is a one-way talk you're laughing you you don't understand what it is to be in my position and people it's easy to criticize people like me but you ain't never been in my shoe that's why Moses had a lot of criticism from his people even his closest people but they didn't understand what Moses went through God didn't tolerate anything from Moses nothing that's why he never made it to the promised land God says you knew better you shouldn't curse that rock you do close to me then they could curse it and I still take them in but not you see it's a different relationship the closer you get to God the less leverage you have write it down please some of you want to get close to God you don't know what you're talking about 37 years of trying to understand God makes me more afraid of God matter of fact the fear of God is not just being scared of God the fear of God is being aware of how dangerous it is to get close to it because getting close to God leads you no room for maneuvering and you don't need no one to judge you when you close to God God does it himself write this down please God detests idolatry I said this last night and I don't know if it hit home but so I read the scripture again Psalm 78 verse 58 says they angered the Lord with their high places they aroused his jealousy with their idols two things about God in this verse that normally is not associated with God what are they hatred and jealousy these two things God hates God hates for you to hate and he hates for you to be jealous but here God is expressing that he has these two experiences in his own experience when it comes to idols tonight you will understand why God hates idolatry and why he's jealous when someone attempts to create an idol you'll understand a minute verse nine of Isaiah 44 write it down it says all who make idols are nothing and the things they treasure our worthless first John 5 verse 21 says their children keep yourselves away from idols and he's not talking about the statues that you think you know some of you think of idols and all of a sudden you think about these big statues that people are bowing down or you know these big Buddha's or something no he's talking about a car that you worship that you shine for hours but never read the Bible he's talking about those five hours of television time and no time in prayer as he's talking about anything that becomes more worth thee than God is an idol so our battle is between the creator and the creation that's our battle in relationship with God we have to constantly battle between keeping the priorities right the Creator is more important than the creation the Creator is more important than the creation that's a tough battle when the creation becomes more important than the Creator the result is misplaced worship let me tell you something and I'm saying that this is very very heavy but you are always worshipping the only difficulty is identifying the God you worship it we are always making something more valuable all the time and when it becomes more important than God you are a worshipper of whatever that thing is and that may even be as we were saying a worship conference like this it might be a song it might be a dance it might be an instrument it might be a group that you're part of it might be a dance performance or whatever this can become gods here's something you may want to remember the greatest temptation in human experience is the elevation of the elevation the distraction by and the preoccupation with the creation more than the Creator that's our greatest difficulty in life and I'm telling you this is not just for all of us it's for everybody we struggling with this the value of all things are summed up in the manufacture of that thing in other words the everything that exists gets its value from the one who made it it is as valuable as the one who produced it the value that they have in that that's what it's worth very important the sauce therefore is more important than the resource everybody said it aloud with me go the sauce is more important than the resource say it again the sauce is more important than the resource one more time the sauce is more important now say it again but think about God go the sauce is more important than the resource when the resource becomes more important than the sauce you have an idol very important when we acknowledge now here's the most important point for the night when we acknowledge the sauce then that's when we begin to worship worship does not begin when you start singing I'm going to explain that knowledge in a minute worship does not begin when you start dancing or when you start making music on an instrument that's not worship true worship begins when you acknowledge the source I can't explain that hey boys a worship okay we talking about worship in this conference worshipping God again but we haven't define worship fully I did some research over the years I hope you would buy in my book tonight and read it the book is entitled the purpose and power of praise and worship I dealt with worship in that as much as I could and it might be a good book for you to use as a reference but I wanted to recap worship please write this down and you a pastor open your Bible and turn to the page between Malachi and Matthew and reduce that blank page write this down because that's where sure is the center of the Bible so put it right where it is what is the word worship means first of all is from though from our concept of worth-ship putting worth on someone and that's where the concept the root word comes from but it has a number of meanings in the Greek and the Hebrew language the Hebrew word for worship actually means to esteem with worth secondly it means to honor thirdly it means to place highest value on when you worship something is called know when you place highest value on something it's called worship so you can put a high value on a TV show you won't miss any time every week you want to watch the TV show you cancel you know appointments with your pet family and the kids cuz you don't want to miss the show so you placed high value on this TV show every week it has become now an idol see you can apply this list to anything look at this next word the worship means to bow down to bow down means to bend yourself right okay so the worship means you bend yourself towards something you Bend yourself toward your car instead of going to church you've got to clean your car today so you bend your life toward the car see that's why it's called bowing huh you can bend yourself toward how good you sound rather than Bend yourself to God who you sing it to so now the song has become the idol that you worship not the God will you plan to sing to whatever you Bend yourself to you Oh worshipping another meaning of the word is the word to acknowledge in all things the word worship means to acknowledge in all things please write this one down this probably the center of worship this one is the center of it to acknowledge in all things and the next concept the word worship is the word perpetual gratitude everybody said it with me perpetual gratitude what is worship perpetual gratitude what is worship perpetual gratitude how long is perpetual all the time constantly everywhere every time all the time you wonder why David says blessed a lot on my soul and his praise shall continually be now the only way for that to be possible is for something else to cause it you and I are struggling with praising God every day I won't talk about all day we got a bigger to even find a certain day that focus on him we got some problems we call that you know worship him some do it on Saturday some do it on Sundays it Muslims do it on Friday you know everybody got that in the day because we don't do it the rest of the week what did David discover that made him praise the Lord continually see that's the issue the word worship also means to prostate prostrate yourself to prostrate yourself it also means to mingle it's a deep word when you worship your TV you mingling with it don't you keep quiet keep quiet don't stop making noise it's a good one stop so you're mingling you're suing closed and you having an intercourse with the thing whatever you worship you like to do it in quietness you know they do focus some people got secret sins that are idols and when they do in that sin they don't want nobody around am I talking to anybody here private deep intermingling it's worship maybe the reality is you can't worship corporately maybe the reality is you can praise corporately when I studied worship which I did for many years way back in 1975 I went to Christ for the nations to speak and I meant a man who changed my life he's dead now his name is Sam Sasser Sam sass is the first man I heard speak on worship and praise from the Greek context in the Hebrew context it blew my mind and from that day I decided I want to learn about God I want to learn to worship God like that and I studied and studied I read all of his books that isn't his tapes over and over again I went back to college I even took a course in Hebrew I wanted to learn and the more I learned about worship the more I realized we don't know worship we don't know worship friends and here's what I understand about worship worship the best way describe worship is like this where my wife and I are apart distance like this she's sitting there right if I say honey you are beautiful you are lovely you are glorious you are kind you are wonderful now what am i doing to her praising her see I'm far away so praise is a sign that you ain't close yet and the louder your praise is is proof that you're still farther away than you think that's why I say much what we call worship worship now when my wife and I you know when I first talking to my wife all that deep stuff that's praise when we enter the inner chamber of our home which is a bedroom there ain't much loud noise in there no more and when we engage in interchange of sexual intercourse there is no need for any talk at all it means to surrender yourself to the person I love you I hear you see yourself far away when you get into real surrender that's why the highest level of praise you find in my book please read the book again is the word tehila in Hebrew and it actually means spirit song now tehila is not a song you sing to him the healer is the song that he begins to sing with you it's a spirit song Barak is always right before to healer in the ascending praise I'm not teaching levels of praise tonight but there are seven levels and the sixth level is Baraka ba ra CH in Hebrew and it means to be quiet Hallel is noise halal means to jump around wildly and make noise Shabbat means to show all those are lower levels the higher you get the choir to get because you're going into the chamber and Barack is the last one before the song tehila and it means to be quiet that means he's about to make love you don't wanna talk oh I'm getting too deep now Barack is you ever heard this David says the Lord is in his holy temple in other words all the activity before that point was noisy and loud trying to get him there when he arises says now shut up come on let the earth walk keep see when he's show up he come for intimacy when we have a loud musical and worship experience we think we had a big time do you know why most of you left here quiet last night maybe it was an inner court message it was a chamber reminder and you can't quite go out dancing if there's a chamber experience you go out pregnant you'll get it some other day you can never get pregnant with God's presence in the outer courts you flirt with God or their praise describes God worshipped is a surrender to God intimacy here's the biggest one to write down please to worship is the Hebrew word which means to ascribe credit of all things to to ascribe credit for all things to wasn't me to wish it to ascribe credit of all things - now please spell the word correctly some of you don't misspell the word the word is what ascribe it is not described described is praise ascribe is worship when you describe someone you talk about them when you ascribe you always gotta use the word do afterwards I just said something so deep you got to hear it again when you use the word describe you cannot use the word to afterwards but when you use the word ascribe you have to use the word to and that's where we should begin z' which it begins when you finally figure out everything is is I feel so lonely Oh God just let me go drive a taxi and settle down and be nice and make money go to church and peut I'd be so much nicer hallelujah hey buddy a scribe a scribe is the key to understanding worship because when you ascribe to someone you are giving them credit when you describe someone you are telling them how they look or how they are greatest the Lord that's not worship that's description hold Lord you beautiful that ain't worship that's description the Lord is powerful that's not worship yet that's description thou are awesome thou art worthy no no that is still praise you're describing it write this down please praise is what we do but worship is what God receives and allows and accepts oh listen to me if you get this you'll understand humility let me tell you what God hates the most let me read it tonight God hates idols okay you're gonna see why in this verse in this statement you see anyone who you ascribe anything on earth to and they receive it allow it and accept it they are competing with God then danger immediately hope you hear me hope you hear me if someone says you sing well you better be careful how you respond I mean think from this night because you put yourself in danger let me tell you you see Nebuchadnezzar you study Nebuchadnezzar's problem God made nebuchadnezzar king god bless your kingdom but maybe began you know nebby nem II began to think it was him you know God was fine with him until he started thinking I am God God says now you see I was being so nice with you let me tell you something follow me carefully please listen to me it's okay for people to praise you but don't receive it don't accept it keep passing it that is called worship you are ascribing your success to someone else if you study Jesus who was the most perfect human that ever lived on earth what made him so distinctive pastor was this these statements I can only do what I see my father do I only speak the words I hear my father say I only can do the works that my father he kept on transferring the credit to God and that protected him and kept him in power the power flow is tied to credit transfer the danger of success is you receiving the credit and allowing others to give it to you and accepting it as if you deserve it you are now in trouble with God because now the people are worshipping you now don't get me wrong you should Jesus prays a lot of people he prays the Centurion I've never seen such grief and many praise you know the rich young ruler he says Oh adviser how he loved him I mean he prays a lot of people but you keep transferring it you know what made David successful with Goliath these words you come to me with a sword and a shield and a spear but I come to you not in my expertise with a sling see you could be a good singer an expert on the piano an expert requires but you better be careful when you start talking I don't come to you with a sling you never said I come to you in a sling you know he said you come to me with your spear and your shield and your sword I come to you this enormous a with my sling and I'm good at it you get yourself in trouble with God he said but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Israel daus's now that's what I want to hear son I'm gonna take you at this I'm gonna fix this sling good write this down please worship is only possible through the knowledge of the one being worshipped you cannot worship beyond what you know about the person your worship is limited to your knowledge of the person I believe that's why we end up worshipping things because we know our talent real good but we don't know the God who gave it to us real good so we wish it would we know you cannot worship what you don't know so whatever you know you worship Salah let me go back to a point I made last night here's the point the reason why God keeps making you go through experiences is so that you could have material to worship Him with feel lonely up here I feel lonely God will not bring you out of the fire because he wants you to know he's a fire surviving God sorry when you come out of the fire you got something to say that's new about him again that's worship you ascribe to him my god is inflammable how did you know that I've been through the fire see he allows you to go through the difficulty to introduce himself to you in a new way again and every area he takes it it's a new introduction of God so now you see if you ain't had no experience with God you would you you can't worship Him people say you don't know what I've been through so you don't know why I'm singing or dancing that's important when God began to talk to turn of Israel he always brought up their past you ready every time he rebuked them he'd say don't remember what I did I brought you out of Egypt I provide the food for you I fed you in the desert I forgive you clothes I gave you water on the wall Rock I gave you food from heaven he said in other words he began to say look you've got enough material to keep ascribing the credit to me lord have mercy there's a scripture in the Bible that you should not even be singing the scripture it goes like this sing to the Lord a new song that is not a song that is a command the way you got what they call the song for the Lord is from experience so if you had no experience with God you couldn't sing to the Lord a new song say kept singing all song so you can tell that people are act by the songs they're singing feel lonely so if you sing in sixteenth-century songs which are great songs don't get me wrong but if that's all the songs you sing in that's the only experience you had hallelujah and some of you ain't got no sound lately that's what David was saying David says seek the Lord a new song go get some new experiences go through some more hell now that's an interesting request Lord I need some new songs because ok let's go and he takes you to the valley through the flood through the blood through the mess he said now what do you think with that the Lord I got a new song some through the water sound through the flood so you ain't never been through flood so you singing someone else's song hey boys they sing your own song till you never find your own song tell your neighbor you have your own song that's why you supposed to sing in the Holy Spirit you know you supposed to sing to him based on what you just came out of you don't need no worship leaders to get no meeting started oh I don't want to get into that too quick worship is only possible based on the knowledge of the one you worshiping you cannot call great God if he had never showed his greatness to you so it's not worship it's called repetition you know people don't know what I've been through they don't know me and people talk about me criticize they don't know me I didn't appear in a day when I wrote the song brand-new world pop I was experiencing some things and everybody sings the song now but that in their song it's my song and I didn't write that to have a nice song I was in a development phase of my life where I began to realize that the world ain't got no help except Jesus so I wrote that experience down and people sing it myself we think David song you know may never kill no light no giant remember how Moses got is for a song read it in the book of Acts says his first song was written when it meant that water came to get a splash behind them a Moses look it says Moses began to sing and his sister picked up a tambourine and Moses did not you know he didn't say I can sing a hit I can write a hit Moses wrote would he just experience he says the Lord my God is my strength and my song for he has dashed the enemy he has drowned Pharaoh and his army and he was a song of an experience what are you singing about lately the reason why God would allow your mortgage payment to go right to the end I mean right to the end because he wants you to sing about him as the mortgage payer see if you keep PI finding your own way of paying it you ain't got no song you know in this ministry we go through our phases of tribulation and trials as far as believe in God for what we're doing in the vision and I am a wit and they see my problem is I don't panic because I'm aware of what God is like and because you having a tough time doesn't mean God in with you don't misunderstand this God God allows you to go in the lines then why he wants a lion song he wants you to see him as the owner of lions can I hear an amen no one before Daniel had ever ever heard of a man sleeping in a den with hungry lions which means there must have been a power in the den that was greater than the Lions that the Lions respected Daniel came out knowing something about God that no one else ever knew he's a lion taming god lifts here and thank God he contain your lions whatever you are sleeping with gigante thank him so you can worship now just find your Lions the one that that they say can kill you now you can sing about it see you have to become your own song they were being close to death that's a lion's den I remember when my car turned over when I was going home one night I mean the cops pinned over three times landed upside down I walked out dusted off wrote a song when I wrote a song this is why God keeps reintroducing himself to you in new ways he's giving you material to ascribe to him [Applause] let's define worship in practical terms write this down worship is only reserved for the Lord said it with me worship is only reserved for the Lord you know my sister listen to me this is heavy write that down everybody please that is the key to worship he is Lord the word Lord means owner but it means legitimate owner the one who legally owns it that's the word Lord you see those of you who rent from somebody the one you ready from it's called what the land Lord see the word Lord means owner very important word when you see that word in the Bible it means mighty controller why he is mighty because he owns and because he owns he controls that's why we call him Lord all mighty he owns everything so he could control everything it's important write this down worship is the acknowledgement and the ascribing of all things to the sauce the Lord owns everything why because he is the legitimate source of everything why because he created everything right is down worship is a result of revelation of the source of creation Oh God have mercy of me I feel lonely again listen please read that statement five times because until you get this worship is a struggle worship is a result it was a result true worship doesn't have to be generated true worship is a result of something it's a result of a revelation that you have about who is the source of everything created when that gets to you when you understand it then his praise is continually upon your lips Oh help me Lord have you praised God for the lipstick on your lip you don't that lipstick came from bone ground the bone from an animal that God made and they mix it with coloring ha ha ha gotcha which means the lip and the lipstick belong to the owner if you don't find God for the lipstick then you are not ascribing to him ownership of that lipstick therefore you are lacking gratitude sorry buddy service begins let's stand now let's sing come on y'all sing louder let me go sing you're missing it you see the problem is they don't like God they don't know whether there's no revelation that then the need that they standing on and the college between the bone in the knees and the fact that the muscle is holding the crapless and the knee up belongs to him how dare you not stand I'm tired I ain't stomach sick you don't understand here knock your knee out from under you and you fool around see when you get a revelation of what the source of everything when you get a revelation of it there's this consciousness of constant thank you thank you thank you thank you I can walk Wow thank you walking thank you my knees are working thank you while my lips are working my town is talking thank you my eyes oh I can see you thank you I can hear what I'm saying thank you see you never is praise continue when you understand where it all comes from you don't need no cheerleaders called worship leaders but your problem is you don't worship God you worship the worship leaders and they worship their song that makes you sing and God says I'm not in this write this one down please worship is a natural response to an understanding of the source of all things the largest book in the Bible is a praise book written by a politician who was the greatest king of the nation of Israel how can this man how can this man who is a politician write the largest praise and worship book in the Bible because it's simple he used to hang out in the hills oh I wish I had more time to talk to you but Dave Dave was kind of the hill and David realized that the mountains and the hills belong to him and the bush that he found with a sheep belonged to him I'm the sheep that he had belonged to him and the Sheep won't that the sheep had that made his calls came from God and he understood that the piece of wood he carved his power came from God he understood that the twine he made from the sheep skin came from God he understood that the tongue he used to sing that song the Lord is my shepherd came from God so David kept on writing his gratitude we call him sounds and here comes Alliant David said I got a new song today I am this line is bringing me a new song who's your lion this beer has come to take my sheet no he came to give me a new song and then the big day came with Goliath David says i'ma write about you I'm gonna write about the God who took your head off what you goin through ain't nothing but a song clap if you get that revelation hallelujah Cora Bora Mahabharata Buchi brass seated come in praise God get up son quick lift your hand up praise God I just felt a breeze poorest man in the name of Jesus shy Mukasa go ahead it's okay God's gonna give you a song order what you going through that no one knows you brought to this place what you came out to come here they don't understand but it's a song you sit and write your own song tell you something you cannot worship beyond what you know about God otherwise you're using other people's material that's why it's important to you to read the Bible for yourself we run out of things to say to God because we don't know nothing else write this down please worship is total transfer of credit to the supreme sauce and the owner of all things worship is bowing down to him and say it's all yours including me ladies and gentlemen that's why you prostrate you you prostrate as a sign that I am yours to see when you lay down before our King you turn the King my body everything how are you standing before our king the King say you and you don't belong to me you are standing on your own strength when you lay before sovereignty you are acknowledging that everything you are and have and is is because of him and we call it worship there's a time I didn't talk about earlier when I you know when I studied yeah because I come here I come again Jesus oh I see it's heavy on me come here quickly oh yeah hug me hug me hug me well you fell that Jesus lord have mercy it's make electricity karna ma chambre citta same listen God is the supreme owner of everything there is a definition I gave you earlier but I didn't mention it what was it to blow a kiss you see that go in your dictionary Hebrew look up the word worship and you'll see that there to blow a kiss now that doesn't make any sense to us you know we do it some time in the West you go but in the in the culture of the East you don't blow kiss to just anybody we do it to one another you only blow a kiss to somebody you totally depend on to worship means to look up and go you wonderful thing you and you do it all day it means I totally depend you know God is not making the angels bow read the Bible the Angels bow because they have a revelation of who that is sitting on that throne they know in him they live and move and have their very big how about you tonight I said how about you tonight can you blow him a kiss I dare you to hear blow him a kiss see here I ain't never done that before on a wish of service and that's exactly where she blinks first thing in the morning when you wake up you should just go while you still in your bed eyes just opened he takes it because it means you are giving him thanks that you survived the night by His grace [Applause] why wish of the Lord I can see we're not gonna make this so we have to finish this Sunday morning and those of you visiting by the church if you take one break one day from your church come okay this is so important it will be worth one day from your church you take this back to your church you see why worship the Lord ask the question everybody ask it why worship the Lord you know whenever you see the word worship is usually followed by the word Lord matter of fact the words of Jesus will make sense in a minute now we're closed in the words of Jesus very powerful words but let's let's understand it sound twenty four operas one says the earth is the Lord's what is the word Lord means owner so take the word nor don't put the meaning in go the earth is the owners see it makes a big difference all of a sudden the earth is the Lord's and the fullness everything in it and the world and all they that dwell in it for he founded it he is his property upon the Seas and he accomplished the land out of the waters it's all the owners he owns it this is deep now this is deep this indeed not only does he own the world and the land but all that is in it that's you you cat your dog your house your CD player he said look everything you got don't you dare tell me a name from Mises that's why you blow kisses that is why you lay down on your face and you prostrate because the minute you think you would too much to bow you would do much to lay down he started taking back his material Oh help me Jesus you come to worship service nobody wants to really sing a real song you look around you know in my series on worship and prayers get that serious the tapes I talked about the three the four kinds of people in every service you got mrs. watcher the one who watches everything yeah you got mrs. fixer always fixing herself fixing himself she's fixing and I wish minutes fiction they singing praise the lord i love you lord any man prays alone fresh and then you got miss disturber excuse me excuse me excuse me coming in late you say excuse me excuse me excuse me how can you get in God's presence all that racket all that distraction so he never shows up if you came late to the meeting you should never complain that the Friends of God was in there because you caused it excuse me excuse me excuse me excuse me I'm trying to focus on God and I got a move on the side to let you why and why you late you was fixing you're here that means you're here was more worthy than God so now you're here has become an idol before God and you think it ain't funny we should be gone again it's a dangerous thing write this down Exodus 23 verse 24 verse 25 rather it says worship the Lord your God worship Who the Lord your God worship the owner who is your sustainer the word God means self-sustaining one worship the owner who sustains everything that's what you worship what is worship bow down prostate been to blow kisses add prostrate before I surrender to him why because everything I am have ever will get belongs to you and the more you prostate the more he gives you because when you give gratitude Ukraine crease your latitude which improves your altitude when you get close to God he starts giving you stuff [Applause] the last part says watch this we should the Lord out loud together your God and his come read it and his blessings will be on your food and water I will take away sickness from among you and none will miscarry or be barren in your land I will give you a full lifespan what's the key worship the Lord what should worship ascribing and acknowledging that he owns everything either you keep doing that I'll fix you up he gotta praise Him right here I say you gotta clap if you can clap with everybody clap clap your hands who all these people and then do what shout to who the law is the law go back to worshiping God again don't worship your music and your songs and your worship service and your cars and your hairstyle cuz none of them could do what that list has on it he will take sickness you realize you don't need any my friend Benny to pray for you to get healed that verse tells you how to get healed but you see you want Benny Hinn cuz you don't want to do that want a shortcut you want a

his air he says give me thanks gratitude what do we use to worship I'm trying to get to this verse on Jesus okay write this down please this is amazing what do you use for material to worship what are you bring to worship now o God have mercy listen in the book of Exodus is amazing write these statements down worship must be as a result of whatever he asked for including yourself worship what do you bring to worship God well the answer is the crater has the right to ask for anything he wants in worship why why why because he owns everything oh I'm getting little only mokou back up here praise God you know why he said you to dance that's his body you know why he tell you to jump that's his jump you know I tell you to scream and she back that's his tonsils and his town he owns it he said make noise and you got to make noise right the noise is his and that tongue that makes the noises is and the lip that formed the town to make the noises so he said I want noise right now I feel like I've been knows so he says shabak are you getting it these are dance right the leg under dance and the energy to make the leg dance all mine I want the dance watch this verse this is a deep verse God said Moses I want you to go and tell Pharaoh to let the people go and God told him why he says so that they may come out to the desert to do what worship me now ladies and gentlemen listen to this this is deep but a Moxie listen this is heavy Pharaoh said isn't the fair enough Pharaoh said okay you may go she had enough trouble right he said you may go watch him now he says but leave the children who feel lonely Moses said no we can't leave the children so first okay you go take a children leave the capital most men to the Lord must came back we'll say no we gotta carry the camera so let's read this verse out loud go but Moses said you must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the owner our God our livestock to must go with us not a hoof is to be left behind if you can tell us why now we have to use some of them in worshiping the Lord our God and until we get there we won't know what he wants us to use the worship if he never saw that verse in the Bible Gaza bring all your money before you leave home when you come to the service what I might ask for all how's that for a blessing let me tell you something you know worship is when God tells you to go in your closet and get them five suits that you love the best give that man over there why they are not yours they are the Lord's if he tells you take them over there oh you don't understand there's some clothes that you like oh [Applause] I'm talking now see you think which of the singing stuff you're doing worship is surrender to the lordship the ownership of everything when you tell God Lord have died own way dangerous breath you giving him back his stuff and he might ask you to give it all away ladies and gentlemen you will finally understand finally today you'll understand the statement about this young rich ruler who came to Jesus you finally understand it the guy had plenty money so he came to Jesus he said good master crisis you don't know who good is so you know he said okay he says what must I do to please God what is the most important thing I could do to please sue the lord jesus answered keep the commandments the young man responded I keep them and I have kept them from my youth jesus said he lyin he didn't say but that's what he meant he said oh then if thou would be perfect watch him now take everything you have you have he's trying to get wishing from the guy he's trying to get ownership of what he's still hanging on to he said take everything you have and give it to the poor and come follow me and the scripture says and he was very rich and he was sad in other words he never worshipped he kept ownership God says I want everybody to lay on the ground tonight with your body your first thought in this dress this is a $300 dress e and you just you lost God you lost it you that's it if you must and you think this is funny we do it all the time let's Neal Neal what see that's why you still got hurting me because the healing was on the floor he said what if you worship me I will heal you I don't bend my shoes I'm gonna bend my shoes when I want to bend cuz it bend your shoes that cow that the shoe came from is my cow I'm the same blessing that gave you the shoe in the first place I could give you 10 pairs so get yourself on the ground you know we should been God what you've been the dress the shoe it becomes more worthy it has more worth than God so causes lay down why I want your body tonight no God you could have my hands sprays they learned you can have my lips yes I want your whole body tonight laid out you could have me standing I could even do a little hump raised Allah I want your whole body tonight I own it I tell you what I want when you get here I'll tell you what I want ladies and gentlemen suppose Sunday morning guys I tell you know what don't want none that stuff you've been to it today I want to move all the chairs and everybody lay down what would you do after dressing up for three hours at home putting on your make up your Betty hose on your fine Calvin Klein he says laid out you know understand worship could you imagine Kings with crowns taking off their crowns I'm laying them at that's surrender all your authority is off your head and you put it at his feet it's worship support God no no you could think whatever you want about this statement but this is not a gimmick anything suppose God decides take another offering after this teaching what would you give but they already took an offering see holy ghost can't even deal with it listen the offerin you gave was his and the offering you still keepin is his and the job that Uganda offering from his his and the Carla tribute to the job with his and the gas in the cars is what day you can him tell him him you won't ever get so he takes it all from it destroys everything start over when you write a jitney a new wondering why God because if it goes her you kept ownership we come to worship write this down ready to give what all Sunday morning should be the most wonderful experience in your church after this teaching you should not go into that meeting any preconceived ideas or what the way you expect it to be because he can acts for anything he can answer anything sound 29 verse 2 says ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name worship the Lord the owner in the splendour of His Holiness Psalm 95 verse 5 says 6 rather says come let us what bow down in worship let us want kneel before the owner of all things our maker who made us verse 7 for he is our sustainer God we are the people of his pasture and we are a sheep under his care so bow down he says we worship because we know from whom everything comes that's why we worship that's why I say worship is a response of a revelation she ugly face I put it there that's the devil time the last piece I want you to see ok the opposite in worship here's what it is number 1 the opposite of worship is lack of gratitude see you thought it was a devil it isn't the opposite of worship is what lack of gratitude when you stop being thankful to the sustainer and the creator of all things you are opposing worship what's the opposite of worship the answer worship is self praise when you start taking the credit for everything that you're doing you are self worshiping number three the opposite of worship is self credit you are telling the world that it is you who brought you this far you ever heard this I am a self-made millionaire I'm a self-made woman what are you talking you about to die you about to be like Nebuchadnezzar are you about to be with long fingernails eating grass with hair all over your body in the bush God made a king into a animal when the king said it was he who made himself great God made him a beast it's incredible when you start becoming self-centered number four the officer of worship is selfish pride the opposite of worship is what Lucifer fell from what made Lucifer fall very simple problem Lucifer wanted self worship he got fired his job was to make sure everybody worship God that was his job he was in charge of the of the music department the wish of department he was in charge of what these people are here for who you guys see you got what's your job because when you start wanting the attention on you rather than the one you're trying to get us to worship you're about to lose your job pry commit win get before a fourth and what is pride self-centeredness this is about me it's about me it's about me but I practice all week and pastor tell me I cannot sing today I angry for three months you are worse than Lucifer Alicia is only angry for a blink he fell but people get on a tape I practice our dance we worked hard and they talk about ain't got no time for us the dance this ain't about you remember he could act or whatever he want remember and he might not want your dance today what he wants is your good attitude today and it all belong to him to attitude and the dance he said he could have so everyone Davis I mean George Moses says bigger take everything cuz we don't know what when he got ax for I said there one night and the Lord spoke to me to give an offering and Richard promised was here and I rebuked got a couple of times I said God you gotta be kiddin he said write it give it and he reminded me he said everything you have is mine so give me what I asked for and I was having my little you see the battle it was over in seconds dude that thing was gone that obedience opened a door I cannot describe some of us are being held up by a lack of worship don't be telling you right now to give a kick to someone or big you know someone you keep ignoring it he told you to go home and you know give this sofa to someone this is my favorite chair cos I give that chair away why he trying to not get you a new chair he won't give you a whole new house but the chair holding up the another house alright you still hold on to the chair you think it's yours you're not worshiping jhope what a man choked chapter 1 verse 20 out loud please and at this come on read aloud and this job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head and then he fell to the ground and worship and he said out loud naked came I from my mother's womb and naked I will depart the Lord come on say now the owner game and the owner talk come one understand it now bless now you understand why job got seven times back you finally understand the verse you can study this verse it was total worship job said look the wife is his the children is his the cow the goat and the barns that is so whatever God allowed to be taking his girl on anyhow if he took it he took it if he give it back give it back whatever he want to bless it be filled out loud yes say the minute your problem say loud blessed be the name of the law see when you say that in the middle of the situation you telling him you own the situation that's worship you don't praise the Lord when things go good because even the bad things belong to God [Applause] out loud verse 22 in all of this job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing underlying that burst in your Bible because Oh God you did this cause it is name worship this is curse you putting on me you're creasing me you telling me that some things I don't own [Applause] I wish [Applause] job understood all things came from God and he realized he was sustained by God the minute job did this would happen God turn the captivity God is taking you through and allow you to go through what you are going through to see if you could sing in the middle of it he's testing his lordship over your life worship is acknowledging total dependency on God God everything is yours it's the last place I'll give you that want to get to Jesus until I want to get to Jesus where I go I know it all the time a little bit but please allow me do you mind just as one verse okay I want you to see this verse alright Jesus understood worship Matthew chapter 4 a verse that you probably will finally understand now Matthew chapter 4 verse 8 again the devil took him to a very high mountain and the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and he showed him their wealth and splendor watch the devil now and the devil says all of this I will give to you ladies and gentlemen we about to get in trouble here now Satan says I'm gonna give he talking to God he said God I'm gonna give you everything you own come on now let's talk about this he said I wanna go he says I wanna it's so funny you gotta laugh at the devil he says god I'm gonna give you everything you made if you bow down under what give me the credit oh you don't understand he was telling God to tell him that he made everything listen to the words of Jesus out loud together and Jesus come on say now is important say loud and jesus said to him away from me Satan for it is written worship the owner stop right there don't go to her house he's a look it didn't say worship the thief oh you missed it you stole this from my kids how can you give me what is mine nice in a meeting he says you only give credit to the owner who is God on him only do you surrender to [Applause] is your boss your god if your job is your dependency on your job you know if God sent you somewhere to work can't be careful because he owns everything God gave you a cop and he says pick up ten people to take him to church you better go find them that's his car gasoline engine and spark plugs and the people are hares he told you to pick up and we wonder why we back to jitney because you didn't worship God with his car there's a seriousness there's no sermon you're gonna understand either look away from me Satan you can't take credit for what belongs to me and you can tell me to give you the credit Lord the devil is a fool he's trying to tell God to tell him you made it all these are you crazy all days wait together okay so don't ever give a devil credit even for those things that ain't quite comfortable what did the job say make it a cave that means whatever I got on he gave to me whatever I live it in he gave to me whatever carriage or driving or flight he gave it to me whatever's in my belly he gave it to me whatever he got in my bedroom he came I came here naked this aint funny he said look I'm if he take it yes if he give it it's his cause imma turn this man situation around now lift your hands and do that for kind of five seconds just tell him no don't cry just tell him everything is from you everything I have is yours take back your house oh Lord come on give him back the house give him the apartment you live him give him the gasoline in the car in the parking lot give it back to him give him that iron all in the car steel that makes the car give him back the black crud that came from the oil products in the earth give him back the leather seats give him back the puppets in your kitchen and the dishes and the food in the fridge and you give it back to him you are the Lord of my frigerator the Lord of my bedroom my pillars you are the lord of my bathroom and the utensils the kitchen you can he be Lord again see that's question you don't even want to make you worship just get a revelation of him being the source and you can't help but lift your hands and begin to thank him with just a little bit [Applause] you cannot offer God what's already is right this last one down only the owner deserves worship Jesus said him only shallow sir when anyone wants to compete with God in your life they are asking to become an idol [Applause] impossible [Applause] can you read this
