on how to worship in the spirit and what it means very powerful hello to nadu or nado i should say josephine lily many of you are coming on wonderful lord thank you wonderful jesus for your people i pray you'll bless them anoint them use them glorify your holy name today in a mighty way lord and show us through your blessed word so much about worship in the spirit we give you the praise the glory and the honor lord we love you we love you we love you with all of our hearts sweet it's jesus precious name oh how sweet now man's highest glory man's highest glory is to worship because man was created for fellowship with the lord and worship is the greatest expression of that fellowship so you and i were created to fellowship with the lord and and and worship is the greatest way we can express our fellowship with the lord so when you talk about prayer love faith surrender obedience it really all if i can say it culminates in worship so when we worship we pray when we worship we love when we worship we're walking in faith when we worship we are already surrendering when we worship we're living in obedience so worship means all that and more so when when i say worship in the spirit worship in the spirit is the full expression of fellowship full expression of fellowship with the lord and so you know when i worship i'm praying when i worship i'm loving the lord when i worship i'm walking in faith with the lord when i worship i'm surrendering to the lord when i worship i'm obeying the lord so worship is way more than people understand what worship means so worship is presenting your whole being to the lord think about rather than you know saying oh to jesus i surrender you worship and that's what you do you're giving jesus your whole being when you worship that's so precious and and it's the fullest approach we we approach god in fullness when we worship we don't approach god partially we approach god fully when we worship i'm hoping you're taking notes as i'm saying this to you because what i'm saying is so powerful so let me repeat that because it's so incredibly important headline number one man's highest glory is to worship man was created for fellowship and worship is the greatest expression of fellowship when i worship i pray when i worship i love when i worship i'm walking in faith when i worship i surrender when i worship i'm obeying and when i worship i'm presenting my whole being to the lord and when i worship i am approaching god fully it's the truest fullest approach so when god says come unto me how do i come unto him worship isn't that powerful did you did you hear that chad so when jesus said come unto me how do we come to him we worship worship is the fullest way to come and and frankly the only way to come so it's our highest destiny as believers worship is our highest destiny metropolitan to me i'm sorry i just can't help but you know have a praise break here because it's so powerful so now let's understand how to worship in the spirit well let me explain this god created the soul as the seat of man's personality as the seat of our consciousness when i say man i'm saying man and woman because god created man and in man was woman too remember that okay so when the bible says man it also means woman because women and men were one and there's still one frankly because god almighty took the woman out of the man so um god creates the soul the soul the seat of man's personality consciousness the soul is the link the soul of man was linked through his body to the visible world and through his human spirit to the unseen divine world because i'm really wanting to explain worship in this bit and i gotta explain this part first that your soul and my soul is the seat of our personality it's the seat of our consciousness and our soul is linked to the visible world through our body and linked to the divine world through our spirit man now the soul has to decide it's the soul that decides remember that decision is in the soul because that's what the mind is that's where the intellect is what's that's what the will is so all decisions are made in our human life in the soul first because the soul is the intellect the will the emotion so think about every decision you make your soul is the one who makes it every act the soul moves and then the spirit responds or the bible responds so this is very strong to understand that uh now the soul has to decide do i yield or do i uh flow through the body the soul has to decide whether to yield to the body or to the spirit do does the soul the soul has to decide do i yield to this to the desires of the flesh or to the will of god it's the soul that makes that decision you see so at the fall at the fall when adam fell his soul refused to be ruled by this by his spirit his soul decides to be ruled by the body and at that moment it became the slave to the body please here this is so powerful when my soul says i'm going to yield to the body it becomes the slave to the body when the soul says i'm gonna yield to the spirit it becomes the slave to the spirit every single day we make that decision will i yield to this to the desires of the flesh and be ruled by the flesh or will i yield to the spirit and be ruled by the holy spirit because the holy spirit and my spirit are one remember that the world and my flesh is one so the second the soul says i'm going to yield to the body immediately the soul becomes the slave to the body the natural man the column man when the soul says no i'm going to yield to my spirit man he yields to the holy spirit and now he is a slave and a servant is a better word to the lord oh i love being his slave by the way bill bright used to say always i'm the slave of jesus christ oh this is so precious it's so precious no the lord called the servants you know his servants but my how i love being his servant he is my redeemer jesus jesus sweet is jesus love him love him love him nah don't you love him i mean it's like how can people not love the lord jesus it's just beyond me anyways so uh the first man adam refused to be ruled by spirit so he just he the soul of adam says no i want to be ruled by the flesh that's why the devil come to them you remember and that was the whole battle that's why satan came to the woman she had to decide which would i go do i yield to the flesh or what the lord says the minute adam said no the minute the soul of adam said and i'm saying the soul so i want you to get this that i refuse to be ruled by my spirit about what god said i'm going to be ruled by the body and eat this thing eat this fruit that that minute his spirit lost his destined place because now he's he becomes a slave to the body are you there listening jerry he became a slip to the body and the second adam became a slave to the to his body what happened is his spirit lost its destined place of rule the spirit of adam lost its destined god-given place of rule and now the spirit of man becomes a dormant power the spirit becomes a struggling captive instead of the ruling principle i'm saying it sorry because i want you to really grasp this the second adam said i will yield to my body he becomes a slave to the body remains a slave to the body his spirit which was destined to rule now cannot rule his spirit suddenly is is lost his spirit becomes a dormant useless power a struggling captive and loses the authority the ruling power and from that day till today the bible has a new name for man first corinthians very very powerful that we get this that's why paul the apostle said these wrote these words about men in first corinthians 2 14 notice what he calls man but the natural man see now he's a natural man because the soul yielded to the man is no longer spiritual but the natural man receives receiveth not the things of the spirit of god for they are foolishness unto him neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned so the minute adam said his soul said i'm gonna yield to the body the body be now at that moment becomes a natural body that's when the glory departed can i say something to all of you and share listen to this before the fall adam had a spiritual body because his body was lit up with light and glory that was a spiritual body that's what our bodies will be like when we are raised from the dead ah inna glorious that's what the body of jesus is like today because his body is spiritual it's a spiritual body but you say well explain the difference between a spiritual body and a physical body well it's quite simple adam was created a spiritual body yet in physical form like like the lord jesus could could eat you know could you could could be seen that it's still a spiritual body a spiritual body is still physical like adam are you are you are you are you getting this chair if you're getting it then they are getting it okay so think about god creating adam who did not know he was naked who was lit up with the glory of god his his body was physical yet at the same time spiritual but the minute the soul said i'm going to yield to the temptation i'm going to yield to the world of the flesh that body lost its glory completely the glory lifted he looked i'm naked that's what he said to himself and eve with him that's why paul in first corinthians 2 14 calls him the natural man now he he becomes a natural man or a physical soulish man no longer a spiritual man you see that and because the soul chose the body listen this is very important and because the soul shows the body all its attributes now belong to the flesh and are under the power of the flesh see had the soul chosen the spirit all the attributes of the soul would have been spiritual godly holy not controlled by sin and harassed by demons but the second adam said no i will yield to the body and the world of the flesh the spirit became dormant powerless his spirit powerless it died basically he died now the body is the boss the body is the ruler the flesh that is completely a part of the of the world becomes the ruler and the doors open now for demons to come and harass and possess because the body lost its authority completely now to the devil and to his world so because the soul shows the body as as its boss the attributes of of of the soul now belong to the body the attributes of the of the soul belong to the flesh and that's why the bible makes it very clear in first corinthians 2 look at verse 12 and 13. there are there is wisdom that is of the flesh and there's wisdom that is of the spirit there's two different wisdoms one which is spiritual one which is completely natural and when you and i are born again we begin to become accustomed to the spiritual side even though our bodies are still under the domain of the world that's why we have to crucify them you see and as long as this flesh is crucified we are free to operate in the spiritual realm this is very key as long as you crucify the flesh and god gives you the power to do that by the way carnal people don't have that power we do that's the difference we can say yes lord i'll do it and no to the flesh they cannot they have no power over it so think think this is what the new birth gave us metro this is glorious the new birth gave me the power and the authority to be free from the world and say ah you can't hand me no more you can have my soul no more now i decide to yield to the spirit of god and my soul now is renewed day by day till i see jesus inner glorious but the unbeliever has no choice he's he's a slave to the body completely because why he's not born again he didn't say jesus come into my heart so there is a fleshly wisdom and there is a spiritual wisdom in first corinthians 2 12 and 13 now we have received not the spirit of the world i see that the spirit of the world can no longer touch us but the spirit which is of god why because our new our spirit man now is is born again that we might know that things that are freely given to us of god verse 13 which things also we speak not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth so there is a fleshly wisdom but which the holy ghost teaches divine wisdom comparing spiritual things with spiritual meaning we can see the difference between the wisdom of the flesh and the lord and when we choose the lord then we receive that wisdom that's why he means but what he means by comparing to the two wisdoms okay the spiritual and the natural people can serve god in the spirit so there is a service of god that is spiritual yet there is a service of god that is of the flesh rejected by the lord you know that the flesh the flesh has wisdom but not god's wisdom the flesh uh forgive me for being blunt the flesh can say i'm serving god there's a lot of them that that are doing that now but it's not true because there is a service that trusts in the flesh now let me show you first the service that is spiritual which is in philippians 3 3. in philippians 3 3 we we see how you and i serve god with our spirit but there are people who are serving god in the flesh and don't know it for we are the circumcision which worship god in the spirit and rejoice in christ jesus and have no confidence in the flesh so here's serving god and worshiping god in the spirit now look at galatians 6 3 please write all this down and i give you permission all of you to teach it to your to your friends i mean it don't even use my name just use it for the glory of god galatians 6 13 for neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law but desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh so here you see in galatians 6 13 that there is a service which they think they're serving god but they're actually glorying in the flesh look what else there is a fleshly mind and there is a spiritual mind the fleshly mind is mentioned in colossians 2 verse 18. this is a very powerful teaching i hope you're really getting it it says let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels intruding in those things which he had not seen vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind now this is very very important because what it it's saying to me is that the flesh has its own mind it says fleshly mind in verse 18. but there is a spiritual mind the spiritual mind is in colossians 1 verse 9. look what it says for this cause we also since the day we heard it do not cease to pray for you and to desire that he might be filled with all the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and what spiritual understanding so there is a mind of the flesh and there is a man of the spirit now let me talk about worship there is worship that is of the flesh and there is worship that is of the spirit and i'm going to show you both before i say goodbye and pray with you first in colossians 2 in colossians 2 18 and 23 it talks about worship in the flesh let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels intruding into those things which you have not seen vainly puffed up by fleshly mind now look at verse 23 which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship and humility and neglecting of the body not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh this worship is of the flesh it says it it has a show of wisdom and will worship in humility in neglecting of the body but not in any honor it says but are of no value against the indulgence the satisfying of the flesh it doesn't do anything it's all because it's all flesh and much of the worship today i don't want to say in the church but in some churches it's pure flesh and i'm going to prove it to you in a minute you keep listening worship in the spirit is john 4 24 when jesus said to the woman at the well god seeks those who worship in spirit so the lord came to make that worship possible worship in the spirit is only possible when jesus takes over when we have a new spirit we can begin to worship in the spirit and truth now not all worshipers are true worshipers they they're they you know there may be honest worship or the mind is occupied with it the feelings deeply moved by it but it's not truth a lot of the worship today is emotional it's uh the mind is occupied with it the feelings are moved by it it's not truth because truth means because jesus said spirit and truth they worship god in truth truth means it's christ given its holy spirit imparted worship so it's jesus worshiping through you you can't worship even if you try you can't worship even if you try anything you do is flesh anything he does through you is spirit how much worship do you know where jesus is worshiping through you the father so true worship in the spirit means jesus is worshiping the father using your body that you give him to use that is found in the psalms and in the book of hebrews let's look at it jesus using the church to worship first the book of psalms listen i'm just giving you the bible okay worship in the spirit is not worship in the flesh so when when people get excited and let's not worship that's all flesh all flesh every bed of it true worship is when you surrender to the lord and he worships through you psalm 22 22 i will declare thy name unto my brethren in the midst of the congregation will i praise thee oh that's glorious jesus says i will declare your name to my brethren to my church and in the midst of the congregation i will be praising you i will be worshiping you not the body of the saints i will be worshipping you through them in the midst of them look what it says in hebrews hebrews chapter 2. maybe you're learning some new things today i hope you are look at verse 11. you know we read those scriptures we kind of pass by and we don't even pay attention so verse 11 and 12 hebrews 2 for both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one for which cause he's not ashamed to call them brethren saying i will declare thy name unto my brethren and in the midst of the church in the midst of the church will i sing praise unto thee both all the new testament clearly declared that declares a true worship is jesus worshipping through you jesus worshipping through the church worshiping the father through the church that's true worship that's worship in the spirit and anything else is a lie plain and simple it's not even real you know when i've stood on those platforms and when i in my own home here and worship the lord i get caught in such a place of such beauty and glory i've been there i've been there i'm talking from experience where i feel rejuvenated i feel re-energized every time i worship my strength is to the full you see those people worshiping and they get tired after about 20 minutes even young people when you see them jumping and sweating and rolling all over the place and they call that worship forgive me it's a joke they're wearing themselves to the ground poor people you get tired just watching them real worship i just read it i will declare thy name unto my brethren in the midst of the church will i worship will i sing praises unto thee so it's the lord it's the lord but before you and i can have the kind of experience we have to walk in the spirit you can't worship in the spirit till you walk in the spirit and finally the last verse for today is galatians chapter 5 somebody may think oh i feel bad now i i've been worshipping wrong well all you have to do is just surrender to the lord it's simple really and he'll and he'll worship through you you'll be lit up with beauty oh i've seen faces in my meetings i've seen faces in my crusades i remember a man dear god he was just hugging himself like this and the glory of god was on his face i'll never forget that dear man i did not know who he is i still don't know who he is i just remember his face right now just adoring jesus in with tears i remember looking at clips on our program this is your day where you see people with tears flowing down their face and they're in just a place of ecstasy and beauty with the lord that's worship that's worship i remember looking at a precious african-american lady in one of our crusades i was working on the on the clips you know because i used to work on all the clips would show and this woman just stole my heart the glory of god that was on her face oh that was something to behold and i've seen millions like that not just two of them i've seen so many people from all nations all colors all different groups i remember in the philippines with half a million people in front of me the people just holding themselves and just worshiping with such beauty look at some of their faces i was just awed by the glory of god that's worship not all the stuff where they jump and turn around and swirl and well you know they can call praise they can call something else but don't call that worship don't call that worship that's just having a good time maybe okay it's fine i told chad yesterday i said i would rather have him you know see those kids have a good time with the lord and have a good time with the devil but don't call that worship it's just having a good time and praising and loving the lord fine fine fine that's good good let them enjoy themselves but worship in the spirit that's a different world altogether that's true worship father in the name of jesus oh i want to pray with you now that you'll come into that beauty you'll begin to experience that blessedness but i want to just play right now a beautiful beautiful i'm sure you all know this because uh it's in that place saints only in that place that i think real worship happens anyways the hiding place the hiding place when we hide in the lord oh it's so wonderful lord bring them to that place of that beauty and tranquility life and love where they will worship you and you will be worshiping through them our heavenly father but everything within us is surrendered to you every part of our being is yielded to you thank you jesus please lord bring that about in their life blessed holy spirit bring that about him each one now watching me listening do that work in them lord because none of us can do it on our own [Music] we trust you to do it in jesus name bring healing now bring life to your people in jesus name and lord bless them would you lift your hands and thank god for it bless them lord not only spiritually but also physically emotionally with a life of surrender and beauty and holiness and lord bless them financially bless their homes their family and loved ones save their loved ones lord jesus save their loved ones for your glory and lord i pray you'll bless the future with blessings untold in every arena of life [Music] in jesus name hallelujah well it's time to give now it's time to sow seed in the lord's blessed work because that too is worship that's right because worship culminates in our giving in our prayer in our faith and our obedience every time we give of our money we're worshiping god receives it from our hands and uses it for his glory and kingdom and gives it back to us multiplied many times over and for us who love him we always give don't we because that's in our hearts you can't love without giving you know it's impossible to love jesus and not give to his work so right now you can sow your seed of love this is a seed of love truly a seed of love to the lord a gift of love do it right there on the platform you're watching me on or you can just go to benin.org or it's there on the screen for you you can text it b h m then to the number four five seven seven seven do it now even don't wait too long after we're done to sow that seed because that anointing is flowing and the the anointing kind of leaves that ground moist you know so when the seed goes in that harvest comes with god's blessings and comes quickly so do it right now and join bhi you're really missing out on because bhi that's what i teach real meat you know and it's a bible school it's only 25 25 a month that's all it is many have joined and i really want your part too so you can go to bennie ministries to find out more or just go to ben institute and join plus you'll have access to thousands of hours of archives from different ministries and you'll be blessed beyond words love you much and i'll see all of you a part of which i in about an hour or so bless you all love you see you tomorrow live again tomorrow for sure live bye
