The Weapons Of Worship


Worship what is the definition well I will tell you it means giving God all you got when you have nothing to offer him except your hands in the air. We got to be a generation that is convinced that our God is a good papa and a good God. We need to realize these hardships we go through aren't so we can suffer but so we can grow deeper and learn to trust God. It is easy to lift our hands in worship when we are having an excellent day every thing is going perfect but what about those dry seasons? The desert where we feel so alone dry and empty. Well... That is the perfect time to get closer to God and lift him high! God is worthy why because the bible says no because he is God and He will endure forever. He loved us before we knew of him. It makes me so sometimes sick to my stomach to glance at people while worship is going on and see them texting away or looking at their watch or talking with their neighbor I just wished they knew the God we serve how just loved we are by him. I want them to know that ya worship might be uncomfortable for a while but you got to press in with all you got and I know some of you might read this and say but you don't understand the situation I am in right now. Yes that might be true I don't understand everything what people go through, but I do know this our God is great (Psalm 135:5) We gotta realize that there are over 1000 promises in the bible and our God will never lie to us never disappoint us never get mad at us. He promises in Psalm 135:5 that He is a good God, Romans 8:28 That he works all out for good, Jeremiah 29:11 to never harm us. God is great and his word is true. We gotta to be also convinced and live in the Authority God has given us to its full potential. God didn't give us that gift just so it can be put on the shelf of our hearts but so we can use it. We have the power from Christ dwelling in us to rebuke the devil and all schemes of sin. Sin isn't easy to get rid of because once you get something attached to you it is hard to remove it like masturbation, porn, lying, gossip, pride and ect. YOU can though! God never said this walk would be easy but He did say you will see me through the storm and withdrawal of sin is the hardest thing ever. It is like a drug addict who has been doing drugs for years. You go through the process of saying I need it when it keeps making you sicker. Sin is that drug to the soul we say it in our minds well I am a Christian so I will just ask for forgiveness right after I sin. I am alone in my room God won't ever know. Its that sin that keeps eating our souls we say in our mind one more time and I'll be fine but I am telling you that the soul keeps getting sicker and sicker from the sin. God says worship him with all of your mind soul strength not just a part of the physical but it is deeper than that. Your arms maybe saying I am worshiping God whenever but what about your mind. Is your mind thinking about how well you did on your test or when will you eat again or on a endless puzzled path. We need to realize that we gotta worship God with ALL we got. God is calling us to be a generation of worship and praise. It isn't going to be sunshine and skittles the entire time but its through those trials those seasons we can rise on the wings of worship. We don't worship because of our benefit or because we will maybe say oh look at me I have it all together. Because I am going to tell you right now I don't have it all together and I won't ever till the day My Jesus calls me home. When you also worship with all that you have I am telling you chains will begin to break off. Freedom will arise from masturbation, lying, pride, hatefulness, apathy and ect. FREEDOM shout it out or say it out loud right now. WE are a free generation by the blood of our beautiful savior. God says in our weakness his power is made PERFECT ( 2 Corinthians 12:9). We need to realize and comprehend that we don't have to EVER have that mind set again saying I cannot worship because I did this today. Or I just cannot overcome this sin. WE overcome sin by repentance and WORSHIP. Every time you say the name of Jesus the devil shrivels up. Worship is powerful it has a great spiritual battle behind it. Worship wasn't made to just sing a simple song but it was made to Glorify our amazing God to lift him up and put him in his place of being. Worship is more than words on a screen its the soul cry of your heart. Our hearts burn for him thats why he created us is to worship him. God loves it when we worship him I believe as he is in heaven he says you make my heart smile. Its giving God a love song from our hearts :) God will come with his power and over sweep you during worship you just have to press in and pursue him and I promise you he will show up. He comes with fire and he comes with rain. God wants to worship him with a fiery passion because he sure had a passion for us when he died on that cross. So lets worship the God who made us lets worship him with everything we got.

God Bless
