REVELATION 4:6-9
6 In the center, around the throne, were four living
creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first
living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a
face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living
creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its
wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’[b]
who was, and is, and is to come.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and
thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever,
WORSHIP
Surrounded
By Holy - Bethel Music, Zahriya Zachary
There’s some words in that song:
- “The
more that I enter in, You consume all I am, I lose myself, in the One who
is Holy.”
- “As
we come face to face, You take my breath away, all I can do is cry “Holy,
Holy!!!”
Philippians 2:1-11 NIV
[1] Therefore if you have any encouragement from being
united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the
Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, [2] then make my joy complete by
being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
[3] Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility
value others above yourselves, [4] not looking to your own interests but each
of you to the interests of the others. [5] In your relationships with one
another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in very
nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own
advantage; [7] rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of
a servant, being made in human likeness. [8] And being found in appearance
as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death
on a cross! [9] Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the
name that is above every name, [10] that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [11] and every tongue
acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
[SN] You want your life to change, you want your situation
to change, you need healing, you need motivation, you need more energy, you
need more ideas, you need more understanding, discernment, and
clarity?
****THEN FIRST CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE.***
James 4:13-17 NIV
[13] Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will
go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make
money.”
[14] Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.
What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and
then vanishes. [15] Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we
will live and do this or that.” [16] As it is, you boast in your arrogant
schemes. All such boasting is evil. [17] If anyone, then, knows the good
they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
[SN] When have you ever said, God this week I will choose to
spend so much time in Your Word, and in prayer, and I will attend a Wednesday
night prayer group, and sing in the choir, and Bible Study, in fact, God I will
start a Bible study in my own family, I will seek you out daily, with every
second, with every breath that is within this vessel of a body, right here,
designed by You to give You glory!!!
I will cry HOLY HOLY HOLY to the LORD GOD in the highest!!!!
Altar Call
We're running out of time folks, I'm not saying Jesus is
coming back today or tomorrow, for Scripture says, "no man knows the
day or the hour, not even the Son," but we're running out of time
because everyday we are a little closer to our grave. Time is not our friend,
brothers and sisters. Time is ticking away, one second at a time, you could die
on the ride home from this church in a car accident that's not even your
fault.
I was posed with the question a little while back about
"fear." Like "what am I afraid of?"
You want to know, after a night of reflection, what God hit
me with?
My fear is that some of you here today can come on a
Sunday, which is just about the only time I see you, and sit in this church for
years, year after year and not once fully surrender your life to Jesus. Do I
need to remind you what's at stake? Newsflash! Eternity with the Father, or
eternity away from Him.
Bit Scripture says, "It is by grace through faith in
Christ alone, and not of your works, lest we boast.
Church attendance is a WORK folks!!! If I am speaking to you
today, make sure you get right with God and accept Jesus as your Lord and
Savior.
You might say, "well Chaplain, or pastor, I hear you,
but there's still this block, this wall, this thing that is keeping me from
fully understanding why it's so important to attend...
I'm here to tell you that it's your heart and unbelief
that is holding you back.
So now what? What can you do?
1. REPENT, and believe the Gospel!
2. Turn away from the sin that's hindering your faith
3. Fasting and prayer to handle your "Unbelief"
start taking care of yourself better. Your body is the temple for the Holy
Spirit.
Mark 9:17-29 New International Version (NIV)
17 A
man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by
a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18Whenever it seizes him,
it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and
becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could
not.”
19
“You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you?
How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
20 So
they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into
a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. 22“It has often thrown him
into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and
help us.”
23 “
‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
24
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my
unbelief!”
25
When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure
spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him
and never enter him again.”
26The
spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much
like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27But Jesus took him by the
hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
28
After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why
couldn’t we drive it out?”
29He
replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting. a
”
4. Stop allowing your stomach to control your emotions,
and your mind and FAST.
