The Heart of Worship/A Community of Worship
Love
for the Presence of God. We are the temples of the Living
God. It is our passion to be filled to overflowing with
His Holy Spirit. We are filled by singing to one another
songs, hymns and spiritual songs. (interesting –
it did not say to God) So this reveals God’s heart
concerning the intimacy that we have towards one another
as a community as well as lavishing our affection upon
Him.
·
love the new songs that God wants to pour forth. Choose
to be
Spirit-led in your worship times.
·
Love it all! (the old songs and the new!- mix it!
God loves variety!)
·
Love the simplicity of Christ. Beholding Him. Being
transformed from glory to glory.
·
Recognize that you are the earthen vessel that God wants
to inhabit! And make room for it. Spend
time soaking in the Presence of God. Love the quiet
place – the deep intimate place with
God. All authority flows from intimacy. In the measure
we sow, that will be the measure that we
also reap.
·
Allow the song of the Lord and the melodies of the Spirit
to flow in y our heart. Sometimes this can
be blocked by bitterness and unforgiveness/unresolved
issues. When these are cleansed there is
an opening that occurs – allowing the Holy
Spirit to flow in to greater measures and influence.
Eph
5:17-22
And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation;
but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another
in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and
making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks
always for all things to God the Father in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another
in the fear of God.
The Heart of Prayer/A
Community of Prayer
·
Jesus ever lives to intercede at the right hand of
God. It is our duty, obligation and joy
to pray without ceasing as well. This is kingdom living.
·
Don’t box up how and when to pray. NOW is the
time to pray!
·
Pray for one another. Have times of genuine family
prayer for one another.
·
Find a time to have a soaking prayer gathering with
a group of people. This can be very impartational
and healing for many.
·
Take communion regularly. Have a candlelight gathering
with soaking music/worship and pray for
one another and others and whatever else releasing
faith as the blood of Christ takes effect in these
gathering.
The Heart of a Warrior/A
Community of Warriors
Believers
are to fight for one another. David was a worshipper,
but a warrior as well. It was his communion with God
that gave him victory over his enemies.
It
is the God of peace that crushes satan under our feet.
We must be surrendered to the God of peace in order
to have legitimate authority over the devil and dark
powers.
Rom
16:20
And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet
shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you. Amen.
The Heart of Generosity/A
Community of Generosity
Have
a generous heart. And have a receptive heart. Let there
be a mutual exchange of giving and receiving. Know that
you cannot out-give God! God does desire us to know
just how good He is! Give joyfully with a good attitude.
God
does have a benefits program for us. He says, “If
you will do this – I will do that . . .”
Luke
6:38-39
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, and running over will be put
into your bosom. For with the same measure that you
use, it will be measured back to you."
Acts
20:32-36
So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the
word of His grace, which is able to build you up and
give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.
34 Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have
provided for my necessities, and for those who were
with me. 35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring
like this, that you must support the weak. And remember
the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is
more blessed to give than to receive.' "
The Heart of Holiness/A Community
of Holiness - Purity
Without
holiness no one will see the Lord. There is a call to
purity. Who shall ascend to the hill of the Lord –
he who has clean hands and a pure heart. This is not
about outward-form, but inner-transformation and yeildedness
to the “HOLY” Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit
is a “HOLY” Spirit. So the result of His
indwelling will be holiness in our hearts. A cleansing,
sanctifying, sifting and purifying work is done in us
by the Spirit so that we abhor evil and delight in righteousness
and the things of God. This is where God brings us to
a place where He can actually trust us with His glory
and presence. But we do trust in the righteousness of
Christ and His blood. So it is true that it is NOT our
righteousness. But there remains a trust that God looks
for in faithful hearts.
t
we have towards one another as a community as well as
lavishing our affection upon Him.
