Discovering the Essence of Worship - Sunday Service

[Applause] dumb power and love our god is an awesome god our god is an awesome godly ray on heaven above with [Music] thank you amen father we thank you for this another opportunity to minister to these your precious sheep thank you lord that revelation knowledge will flow freely uninterrupted and unhindered by any satanic or demonic force father i pray that you will speak through my vocal cords and think through my mind none of me all of you anoint every ear to hear and every heart to receive jesus name and everybody said amen praise god you may be seated if you have your bibles go with me to the book of proverbs chapter 21 and verse 2 proverbs chapter 21 and verse 2. when i made jesus the lord of my life one of the commitments i made was that i was not going to try to change the word of god but to allow the word of god to change the way i think are you listening to me now don't allow my thinking my views my tradition to change the word but allow the word to change my thinking and i don't know what's going on in the world but i see a lot of stuff that's in church doesn't come from the bible but because everybody's doing it and because everybody is saying it and because maybe you have done it for a long time or i have done it for a long time or maybe that's all we knew to do at the time that's all we understood about the subject at the time then we went ahead and accepted it and moved on with it but i still have that commitment that if i have moved on into something because i thought that was the way to do it or i understood that being the way to do it because everybody preached it that way to do it or everybody said it that way to do it i am still under the commitment that i made to god that i may have even turned that doing into a tradition where it's not that i don't believe i'm just in disbelief in other words i'm not going to change i don't want to do it because i've been doing it for so long that ain't right but i know i know what it feels like i know what it feels like for something that i've been believing and and doing for a long time and then to find out in the scripture that this is what the scripture says it feels weird but i made a commitment to let the scripture change my thinking and for me not to go in and try to change the scripture and unfortunately a lot of religion tries to change the scripture it's right there but you don't understand i've been doing this for 50 years and i'm not going to change now but but what about this or in the scripture whatever i'm not going to change now i can't do that because of the commitment i made and so i'm about to to share something with you that you know i've taught it but i've never understood the depth of it like i have come to understand it today in light of all of the teaching of grace it's just so much that has happened now that i have my grace glasses on let me show you what i'm talking about proverbs chapter 21 and verse 2. read verse 20 verse 2 out loud together ready read every way of a man is right in his own eyes but the lord pondereth the hearts every way of man is right in his own eyes and it's amazing especially when you start talking about god things and church things every man is right in his own eyes so how do you make that distinction when every man thinks he is right in his own eyes how do you make that distinction when every preacher thinks he's right in his own eyes that there's a scripture right there and it's being seen 1500 different ways and he tells us right here he says you can think you're right in doing a thing you can think you're right in your own eyes but he says here's what you need to be thinking about god weighs the heart it's the heart he looks like in other words god is saying whatever you created whatever you manufactured whatever philosophy you have whatever doctrine you've come up with the real truth of every matter is going to be weighed in your heart it's what comes out of your heart the authenticity of any of your doctoral belief is what flows out of your heart look at this in the nlt it's what flows out of your heart and that's why i say the new testament is a matter of the heart it's a relationship out of your heart between you and the father the nlt says people may be right in their own eyes but the lord's examining the heart you can take all of your religious beliefs what you what you believe what you've known what mama said you know a long time ago it was hard to go up in the church with the older people and say here's what i find in the bible that ain't right but the bible says i don't care what that bible say the lord examines the heart and when he examines your heart what will he find when he examines your heart yeah you go to church every sunday what will he find when he examines your heart you remember memorize scriptures every day what will he find when he examines your heart yes you've kept the tradition of the denomination but what is he going to find when he examines your heart that concerns me i would hope it would concern every christian because i do not want to live my life doing stuff and only get to heaven and i find out the true weight of it i find out how it really weighs in i thought it weighed in greatly because i dressed like a christian or i thought it weighed in greatly because you know i sounded like a christian praise the lord bless his holy name i thought it weighed in greatly because i was a part of the department and i sung in the praise team in the choir i thought it weighed in greatly because of the things people told me to do i don't want to get to heaven and find out that that was a false balance man i thought i was weighing in good i thought i was i thought i was there i showed up with a long list i showed up with that pharisee i prayed and and i did this and i did that and i did this and i did everything they told me but what if what they told you was wrong because it wasn't coming from your heart it was coming from a performance perspective it was coming from a traditional perspective but it wasn't real [Music] that could that should concern you you're going to die one day you're going to see jesus one day i was at one of the medical centers getting an iv this past week of oxygen and this little girl i thought she was an angel she was just the most precious thing in the whole world and uh we were talking about my veins and did i eat enough and all this other stuff and she heard the conversation she said i'm gonna pray that everything goes fine i know jesus and he answers all my prayers all right no no that that's not the deal the deal was that everything went better than it has ever gone i mean normally i'm stuck five or six times and then when it stuck in there then the blood got to come and they hitting it and pushing it it stuck one time more blood i had blood for everybody that day and she looked at me she says oh by the way do you know jesus as your lord and personal savior [Applause] i said i sure do girl she says isn't he just wonderful i said oh he's awesome and then she went into herself i saw her disappear just from herself and she said i can't wait to see him and i said i'm right there with you me neither and her mother said she used to scare us talking like that i said yeah people get concerned about me when i talk like that but it's the first time i met somebody on equal ground that we were about to cry at the same time because i i can't wait to see jesus it was real to her it was real to me when nobody tried to show up we didn't need to quote no scripture to see who could i quote one another how will you where will it weigh in with you is your heart in the game or is your performance in the game are you a christian from the inside out or just from the outside barely in do you love the debates of scripture so you can participate in the acrobats of your mental capacity to see who knows more about the lord i don't want to know more about the lord and then get there and find out that half the stuff i thought i knew about him because god would do that for you when you think you know something you do a switcheroo or a turnaround and you'll find out you didn't know half of what you thought you knew about him you thought you thought he would be mad at you but the whole time he was never upset he was the one that was ready to show you love love and more love but somebody told you something different let me show you one more scripture and i'll get started now i can tell you on this series taking my time mark chapter 7 verse 13 taking my time i can't wait to see him i cannot wait to sin i know there's a lot of stuff i got to get done and a lot of stuff you got to get done before we see him but uh while grace is teaching us i'm looking forward to it i used to be afraid of this this has got to be one of the most amazing events of all times [Applause] be careful how you measure success be careful what you have learned about measuring success especially in ministry how do you measure a successful ministry by the number of people or the size of buildings are you kidding me do you know how off you are success in ministry is really clear it's accomplishing the will of god for your life so here's what we deal with here read verse 13 making the word of god of non-effect how do you make the word of god of non-effect through your tradition which you have delivered and many such like things do you you make the word of god through your tradition you make the word of no effect because your tradition has taken on a greater value than the word the things you have come to believe have taken on a greater value than the word the thing that you've been doing for 40 years of your life and it appears to have produced some kind of results have taken on a greater value than the word you're up there holding on to something because you've had some great experiences wonder what happened if the word of god were to ever to get in there probably a hundred times bigger than what you're experiencing right now maybe that's the mercy of god and the grace of god that's in your life but the word of god having no effect because of your tradition your traditional way believing your traditional doctrine belief your traditional doings your tradition about what what what's supposed to happen at church there's some experts at the stuff that's supposed to happen at church the people that get them tell you and explain everything to you that happened at church you know somebody do that they say that mean they gotta excuse himself that's that's an excuse i don't even know what that is in the bible where is that finger sticking up in the bible but it's it's a it's a known thing in a lot of churches shouting shouting i don't i don't know you know let's let's shout and fall out you know maybe i don't know it's just honest with you it's like okay i see things in the bible that's close to that uh i don't know and i figure it seems so intimate while you were in church and it changed so drastically as soon as you walked out how does that measure i wonder making the word of god of no tradition i thought the tradition that that was talking about i thought it was the denominational tradition i thought well making them work making the making the word of god and the non-effect through your tradition i was thinking it was just maybe the the traditions of catholic church and baptist church until i found out that every denomination seems to have developed some traditions and not traditions aren't necessarily all bad until it makes the word of god of no effect until it makes the word of god of no effect you take a tradition of how to dress that church and now you use it to condemn other people that's weird you're telling me i can't come to church because i don't own a suit seriously you're telling me i can't preach unless i have a tie-on because preachers ought to wear a tie where they're at where they're at in fact when the bible went they had no time where that what have you used and what are you using to make the word of no effect how are you believing and that word can't even affect you what have you learned and that word can't even affect you and not only can it not affect you but now you're using it to condem others how's that going to go to heaven what you're going to walk up in heaven and correct the holy ghost and tell him how things are to be done what are three or four people prophesying at the same time in heaven no that ain't god that ain't god and you where god is good you high strong you better do something about that because we're about to enter into a generation of young people they're about to take over the driver's seat and they're not buying all of this stuff that our generation bought get ready there's a generation that's stepping into this thing and they're gonna take us to levels we've never been in my ministry is to assist those who are getting ready to come in to assist those generations not not not really so much as mine finishing up with mine and definitely not those before mine but for those that are coming there's a remnant of young people male and female that's getting ready to take over the driver's seat and their tradition will not stop the word of god from having effect in their lives so you need to get ready so this series that we're about to get into i call it discovering the essence of worship it appears to me that after the resurrection of jesus christ and even before he died he gave warning about how things were going to change where worship was concerned it sounds like we're getting ready to talk about slow songs i never quite understood what i'm about to teach to you until i put my grace glasses on and i was so excited to hurry up and get to this point because i learned so much i learned about worship that you don't get the chance to see me do on an everyday basis because you don't live with me let me start you to thinking by looking at some of this what is worship is it singing is it clapping or raising your hands at your local church on sunday or is there something more to it than that when we say i really enjoyed the worship we almost always mean i really enjoyed the music now the music in the singing is this isn't entirely wrong it's not incorrect to have singing in that church it's not incorrect to have music at church you know that but it is incomplete grossly incomplete however when we we must be careful not to equate worship with singing and music alone but that's what we've done the only thing i even know about worship when the word worship comes out singing and music only it's singing in music but not only the bigger piece i'm trying to figure this out the bigger piece has always remained missing and that's the very essence of worship singing like what we heard oh awesome music oh don't want to do without it but if we've equated worship with just singing and music there we go again there's a whole big piece that's sitting out here that we don't know about the word worship at its most basic level means to ascribe worth to ascribe worth i am literally saying i am placing value on god to be more valuable than anything in my life i am you know when you get into idolatry an idol in your life is based on the value that you give it and you remember when there was this conflict in the wilderness with jesus and satan wanted something pretty bad he says hey dude let's make a deal if you bow down and worship me was he talking about bow down and singing to him was he talking about bowed down what was he talking about here so worship is not merely about singing it's about reverence and respect and value it's biblical it's a it's a biblical fear of the lord it's a humbling of yourself before the one who is better listen to this worship is what you do every moment of every day it's what you do every moment of every day i'm going to use a word you'll be familiar with it is demonstrating your allegiance to god every day it is demonstrating your loyalty to god every day it is demonstrating your commitment to god every day and that allegiance demonstrated every day is worship worship is an everyday matter not a sunday matter we don't know what's really going on while you singing and praying and falling and praying in tongues but we do know that every day the opportunity may come for you to choose that way or this way and your allegiance to god chooses the god way and that's worship an allegiance to god you have an opportunity to do this or that but what you proclaim at church goes with you and when those opportunities come your allegiance to god kicks in every day that's worship let's keep going let's look at a couple of scriptures hebrews 13 in the nlt hebrews 13 15 and 16 in the nlt it's what you do every moment of every day it's what you do every moment of every day you you don't have you don't at this point you don't you you won't have to worry about being a hypocrite if you're living a true life of worship today you'll have an opportunity to do all kinds of things but i have an allegiance i pledge allegiance to god the one i depend on every day and to heaven and earth i will declare that i worship him being a being being in allegiance with him he says therefore let us offer through jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to god how proclaiming our allegiance to his name proclaiming my allegiance my loyalty my commitment to his name this is way beyond saying i'm a christian this is you now see my allegiance to his name well why don't you do this because i've pledged allegiance to his name this is what abram did abram said i've already lifted my hands up before the almighty god what was he doing he says i am pledging allegiance to god in just a moment i'm going to show you the first time the word worship was used it was with uh in in genesis 22 with abraham when he and his son went up to the mountain and abram said me and my boy going up to worship god and we'll come again they weren't going up to sing no songs they were going on to pledge their allegiance to god saying i'm going to sacrifice my son knowing that i can trust you either to interrupt this or to raise him up if i have to go through but i trust you i pledge my allegiance to you and you will take care of me and abram called that worship i'll show you in a minute everything done from the heart that's why we can't do things from rules and regulations and traditions and all of that because it's not coming out your heart it's not flowing from your heart and any church thing we do or any church thing we teach and we're not teaching it to flow from your heart questions your allegiance look at this next scripture and we'll i think we'll be ready to get started first corinthians 14 25 get started yeah first corinthians 14 25 in the in the uh king james well yeah let's look at king james in the nlt see when you're starting a new series you just gotta hit as many points as you can because all it's kind of like drawing our thinking in to the same page pulling it from all the places where it's been put focusing in he says and thus are the secrets of the heart made manifest what happens when the secrets of your heart are made manifest in a time where you're praying and having fellowship with god or are you just praying out of your head it should be the most intimate time that you have with lord you're just talking to him and but you're sharing the secrets of your heart he says and so falling down on his face he will worship god who will worship god when that heart gets involved it's a heart issue he will worship god and report that god is in you of a truth he who will worship god the secrets of your heart shows up he will fall down and worship god my concern is is that we have we have a oh i don't even know what to call it we have this thing that we call church and i don't know if we're exposing our heart any more to god because we've learned how to shout and we've learned how to dance and we've learned how have traditions covered the secrets of our heart have we perfected phoniness so much that we don't even know how to be real with god have you been are you tempted to even tell god the same lie you tell everybody else uh worship is a heart product it is not a practice product a training product a tradition product it's a heart product i give him the allegiance of my heart and from my heart i do this from my loyalty and my commitment i worship him now let's dig into this now here here is where i want us to end up at the at the end of the day worship we want to end up with worship being an inner thing worship as an inner god word experience worship as an inner godward experience of the heart worship an inner godward experience of the heart that's what we should desire to be manifested in our everyday lives an inner god-word experience of the heart now this is seen in the words of jesus in john chapter 4 verse 21 and 23 turn there this is jesus with the woman at the well and he's he's taking her from the i don't know what i'll get to it but i'm going to show you the difference between worship in the old testament and worship in the new testament there are things they could not do in the new old testament because they were not born again they can only worship him bodily there were some anointings that came on some people but not everybody watch this so jesus saith unto her woman believe me the hour cometh oh boy he's talking about this grace and this new testament that's getting ready to come look at what he says the hour cometh when you shall neither in this mountain specific mountain nor yet at jerusalem worship the father what is he saying in the old testament where you worship was a big deal and he is saying that's about to change we're no longer going to be talking about where you worship in this mountain or in jerusalem now look at next verse you you worship you you you worship you know not what we know what we worship force out for the for salvation is of the jews but the hour coming here we go something's going to change and now is uh oh when the true worshipers somebody say true worshipers just by saying that there's a distinction how many want to be a true worshiper now coming to time and it is where the true worshipers shall worship the father watch this in spirit and in truth why for the father seeketh such to worship him the father is seeking true worshipers he says quit talking about you got to go to church to worship [Applause] quit talking about you got to go to israel to worship but true worshipers worship in spirit and in truth old testament saints were not born again and didn't have the holy ghost they couldn't worship in spirit but you and i who as a result of what jesus did and died and was raised from the dead we can worship in spirit and in truth true worshipers are available now and the father is seeking you out i don't see too many places in scripture where it says god's seeking out true worshipers to worship him in spirit and in truth he's not you're not seeking out performers he's not seeking out he's seeking out true worshipers there's a distinction there true worshipers glory to god that have the holy ghost that will understand how to worship from the inside out somebody that can worship him inwardly before you see anything outwardly somebody that can worship him in here in a secret place somebody before they open their mouth up there's worship that happened in their heart between them and the holy ghost i'm looking for a true worshiper that's not concerned about the hand clap and the fame of other people i'm looking for somebody that on the inside their heart has gotten involved with me i'm in there they're in there and now their allegiance on the inside and they say lord [Music] lord i'm not doing that i've already decided inwardly that belongs to you i'm married that's a fine woman but i pledge allegiance to you that inside commitment at a point of temptation is worship the father seeketh such now you know we're going to be breaking that down as we go throughout the series he's seeking true worshipers that will worship him in spirit and in truth and you thought you needed a guitar to do that all you needed was the holy ghost and the father seeketh such to worship him true worshipers inner spiritual realities replacing geo geographical locations you see that again in matthew go to go to matthew 15 verses eight through nine which is quite interesting matthew 15 verses eight through nine i want to read in king james then i want to read it in the nlt a farce a farce is almost like ridiculous comedy added into a display it's a complete waste of time it's empty in vain verse 8 these people draw nigh unto me with their mouth and they on earth me with their lips but their heart is far from me but in vain they do listen to what he says but in vain they do worship me they said they worship me but it's in vain teaching for doctrines the commandments of men i mean you know you don't want to be worshipping god in vain and there's a lot of vain worship look at this in the nlt these people honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me you see why god don't want you see why god doesn't want to receive a gift from you and you and your heart's far from it everything he wants from you he wants out of your heart verse 9 their worship is farce y'all need to do a word study on that you know what ultimately that word means it means it is something that's considered a waste of time their worship is a complete waste of time whose worship lip worship and mouth worship with no heart for they teach man-made ideas as commandments from god they teach man-made ideas as commandments from god we see a lot of that these days they're teaching you man-made ideas for the sake of having a illustration that you'll say oh oh that's good that's good man-made ideas as if they were commandments from god he said it's a waste of time it's it's another translation it's almost a joke he says it's it's crazy humorous that's one of the terms in that word for us it's it's all it's it's humorous it's almost like ah i can't think of those plays that are just silly that's what it's viewed as worship that's a joke and it's silly and i pause and i wonder oh my gosh lord don't let world changes be a joke wow because it's not done from the heart here's the part that gets me i don't know if you get in this part their worship is a farce for they teach man-made ideas man-made that's stuff that's not even in the bible i have heard in my 41 years of ministry people in praise and worship seminars making up stuff that's what he's talking about he's like that's not it and then teaching it like it was a commandment that came from god normally condemning people with it if you don't fall in your face before the lord you're not really worshiping him that's just plain old witchcraft what do you mean witchcraft you're trying to manipulate somebody into doing something because it's this manmade idea that that's what god told you to do now you're trying to make everybody else do it and then feel bad if they don't any kind of doctrine that's designed to make you feel bad if you don't because god weighs your heart what is it that's going on hey if you don't do this feel bad if you don't god weighs your heart for one dude to sit there and lift two fingers up and say peace with god may be a huge step in god's eye because he did that out of his heart but you don't see that because you're thinking that you know this is what it is and and this is why you got to know god because he's wearing your heart and he wants us to worship him from our heart and and i got to teach this like i got to teach everything else it's like dude you i just got out of a situation we're going back now into some kind of can i get a month off no i got to see jesus i'm not going to stand before jesus saying i know you wanted me to teach that but i was scared they were talking about me already lord i just went viral all the time lord pleasey and i i heard this real simple he says but if you ain't going viral up here ain't that ain't word that ain't what you're doing it's me and you you got to see me one day i said you're right i got to see you one day not them god showed me that he's getting ready to bring grace people together in one place and people that believe the word in one place it's almost like he's going to be forming some kind of new denomination that he's going to bring us all together at one place and you're going to see how big you are [Music] i can't get away from this man-made ideas teaching it like it was commandments from god you want the winners of heaven open on your life you got to give a dime you think a dime opens the windows of heaven over your life jesus and when you got born again the windows of heaven will open over your life because you believe in jesus christ that's why the windows of heaven are open over your life so really you think he's going to open the windows and then shut him down if you're right open the windows better watch out better nice guy better watch i'm telling you why santa claus close them open them close them up seriously it's a joke open them up you've been good shut them down you're bad open them up you're good shut them down you're back you'll seriously think like god's like you and we've done the same thing with worship you seriously think you falling on your knees in front of everybody is real worship it may be performance i don't know it may be real i don't know but let it be real let it be real don't do it so you can provoke everybody else to do it do it because it's real when you do stuff like that you almost have to bring yourself back into the reality of you in front of people sometimes when i'm up here preaching i get lost because i i sometimes i see you but i don't see you because this thing got to be real y'all this thing has got to be genuine real it's got to be the real mccoy it's got to be something that's coming out of your heart it's got to be something you're going to willing to live for or even willing to die when you when you when it's real to you then death ain't nothing but a game when it's real to you when it's real to you [Applause] the problem is we take on the title of christian and our hearts far from it it's got to be real i do not want and will not go to heaven saying i pastored a fake church there might have been some fake people in there but there wasn't no fake church because i told them i told them this thing got to be real you can't be like my a hell you say you can't be a giant turkey [Applause] y'all remember that you a job turkey it's got to be real and it's got to be real with you and it can't be real when you walk through those doors it got to be real when you was at home it's got to be real when you was driving in your car it's got to be real when you pulled up in the parking lot when they didn't let you park where you want to park it's got to be real when you come in here and you can sit where you want to sit it's got to be real cause you're going to die one day and only what you do for christ [Laughter] oh god you know we were having all these storms and i thought man we could get out of here thunder hit my property shook and i said the first thing i did was come on come on come on he's like it ain't time yet oh come on and then if somebody was like hold up hold up i ain't did that yet i ain't did that yet well what you waiting on you better get them moving well i want to get married first you better start rapping what you talking about you better get it going you better get it going cause i'm praying this thing out my heart glory to god come on back jesus come on jesus everything i hear that sounds like a trumpet every shout out here every lightning bolt i hear everything that shake i'm looking i'm looking because it's going to be better than this it's going to be so outstanding it's going to be it's going to be so outstanding it's going to be so outstanding they had this new telescope that could see farther than ever before and it was the first time i ever saw a nebulon and when i saw it the beauty of it blew my mind i've never seen anything like this and we're a speck in a galaxy of galaxies and i thought that that nebulon looked like a big hour glass with rotating planets in it and i thought to the one that made that [Music] do you actually think that there's anything here that can compare to the brilliance [Applause] and do you really want to waste this life playing church it is real he is real god created lucifer an archangel the most magnificent thing you have ever seen his beauty the bible describes it he he carried the essence of worship which was why it was such a betrayal he worshipped god perfectly when he opened his mouth it was a company with the songs and instruments in him and he says to jesus in the wilderness bow down and worship me he knew that was the number one thing that god seeks is worship okay so maybe we missed this part in our development as christian if you keep coming here i'm going to catch you up well you got so many rules you can't even you can't even be saved because there's so much church stuff there's so much church drama to a point where i don't even want to go to somebody's church anymore in fact i just want to just have meetings remember how i used to go rent a basketball arena and just have meetings in there i i don't want to get involved in church drama i come into your church you sit me down and explain to me how you do it for real i'm not the dude to invite why is it so much church drama you can do that for a crook you can do that for a politician you can do that for an athlete you can do that for a teacher a famous person you can just do that for almost anybody but when you do this [Applause] [Music] [Music] go lift your hands up try it there's a difference is this scripture the bible says lifting up holy hands without wrath or without doubt and in the middle receive his presence this ladies and gentlemen brings more honor than this [Applause] now you can clap if you want to but i'm i got to tell you the truth there's only one scripture in the bible the whole bible that says clap your hands all you people shout unto god with a voice of triumph it was all they could do in the old covenant they had to use their body to do it but we can now worship him in spirit and in truth and paul said lifting up holy hands you don't do that with every politician you don't do that with every football player you don't do that with every famous person you don't do that when movie stars come in oh but when he that sits on the throne when he that heals and delivers when he that has set you free when he that opened doors and could not be opened when he that changed things that could not be changed oh god it's you surrendering yourself and saying lord i don't know what to do but i know you do and god says i've been seeking you and sometimes when i'm walking in the morning and i'm praying and i sense his presence i just have to lift my hands up while i'm walking and the cars are passing by trying to say what is that fool doing there's about to be an invasion of true worshipers somehow i gotta i gotta get you to see where you are you gotta locate yourself you gotta locate yourself just as we are preparing for a move of god here on this side of heaven the same thing's going on on that side of heaven some people that left and you think oh lord why them why damn they were good why didn't why them there was preparation going on on that side at one time i wasn't sure which side i was supposed to be on and now i know i'm supposed to be on this side because i can stir stuff up and not have to be in bondage to people i tell you what is about to happen to you you'll be in your house and the presence of the lord will come upon you some of you begin to cry with uncontrollable tears trying to figure out what is going on there will be people you've prayed for to be born again and the whole time you thought this this this need to happen and in just one moment the holy spirit will come over them and cleanse them and resurrect them like never before i was i was at a convention last week and the spirit of god hit and the lord said tell everybody to be quiet and listen this is not the time for prophecy this is not the time for any move of a man watch me that uh that anointing was so strong it carried into the night service there were people when i left that was still on the floor i said what is this he said that that's here that move of god it's here it's already started i am going to move on the inside of men and things they hadn't been educated to they'll find themselves doing a lot of this you're doing something you're doing right now you're just getting understanding attached to it i'm saying let it go men who have walked around struggling in their manhood trying to produce an identity between the sheets covering up the realness of who they are and what you know is somebody that was between the sheets god is gonna move the cover and he is going to begin to move the shame off of men and the pride and the fear off of men and they'll fall to their faces as they worship their king and they'll get up from that place manhood intact ready to go ready to move for the kingdom of god and they'll pray for their families back they'll pray for another opportunities to do things that they failed at this will be the lord's doing and nobody will be able to take credit for what god is about to do worship that does not come from the heart is vain [Music] it's empty it's not authentic worship it is no worship it has to come from the heart romans 12 verse 1 in the nlt this is probably my last one and we'll pick up with this romans 12 1 in the nlt and so dear brothers and sisters i plead with you give your bodies to god because all he has done for you give me your body because everything i've done for you let them be a living and a holy sacrifice the kind he will find acceptable and what sacrifice will he find acceptable he says this is truly the way to worship this is truly the way to worship him what way it's that daily loyal commitment to say there's certain things i won't do with this body because it's my worship to god there's certain things i won't participate in because it is my worship to god i got to tell you about jesus because it is my worship to god that little girl had to ask me if i was saved because that is her worship to god now it's time for you to nail down your allegiance what's your worship to god today as you prepare to walk out of here what are your allegiance how and what will you sacrifice as worship to him anybody can be mean but joy to others may be your worship to him seeing who i can bless will be your worship to him denying this dictates of this body is my worship to him what i do in every area of my life becomes a worship to him my daily expressions of my allegiance to god in your sex life and the way you handle your money in the way you keep your marriage pure and your marriage vows with your daily expression of allegiance to god think about it it's new so write it down somewhere and look at your life and and see are you just waiting for the next praise service or can you worship him in spirit and truth daily this thing gets so real that the stuff that used to be important to you it's just not important anymore as long as i'm pleasing him i'm going to be all right he's coming oh i can't wait to see you no more fear he's not mad at you here's the thing that really is so cool we ain't got out of it yet but jesus perfectly on the daily basis when he was here worship the father perfectly anytime you feel like you're lacking in that area receive his perfect worship towards the father my prayer is lord show me how to worship father i now depend on you to show me how to worship the father in spirit and in truth and he will he will don't just take your information about it or even what i shared today jesus show me how to perfectly worship the father lift your hands up let's pray that pray to prayer together repeat after me jesus show me how to perfectly worship the father in spirit and in truth today i declare that i am a true worshiper i receive it your help in jesus name that's awesome man every head bowed every eye closed

household every man woman give them results of what they heard today give them evidence of what they heard today give them infallible proof of what they heard today and between you and them let it be

sermon is going to take you you're going to see how and why giving out of a heart of thanksgiving is so valuable how it switched from giving out of rules and regulations to giving out of your heart let's prepare our gifts today now you're going to move into how can i worship god with my finances how can i worship god with my gifts because that's what this is it's out of your heart and i tell people if you can't honor god with your finances out of your heart keep it at least you've got two dollars to buy happy meal but i want to get out of my heart i want you to learn how to get out of your heart and so because you made up in your mind what to give you didn't have any fear that you were going to go to hell you didn't have any fear that you were going to be cursed you gave out of your heart and god treasures and takes great joy and cheerful giving whose heart here it is again is in his giving if you need an offering envelope raise your hands and the ushers will be more than

preaching too hard and crying too hard he's so good he's awesome he's magnificent and you know what you know what our worship is going to do it's going to magnify god he's going to get bigger and bigger and bigger on the inside of you and all the stuff you've been trying to get god to do you're going to see all that's going to be in vain because you and him walk walking together it's kind of
