Good Morning World!
It is a blessed day in the presence of the Lord Jesus our Saviour. It can be hard at times, but we must never loose site of what Jesus has done for us, is doing for us, and will do for us. Keeping on keeping on can be a struggle and a sacrifice, but it is worth it! Too, often this world and all its pleasures, cares and distractions get us down and side track us. We must not let that happen! That is why prayer is so very important. Prayer keeps us in contact with the one who is truly in control of all. We don't want to be the ones who don't have control, but in reality we are just a spec in a grand tapestry that the Almighty is weaving. Wouldn't it be better to be a willing participant than a stray piece of the thread that is cut out because it is much too difficult to work with? Remember Jesus!
Psalm 81 (A Psalm of Asaph)
Here is another Psalm that has a very prominent theme. Worship and Praise. Not just any worship and praise though. This is very specific, very anointed, very special to God. This worship is commanded by God and derived from a heart and soul that is thankful for the deliverance that God has wrought in said persons life! This type of worship is very special and important to God. This type of worship lifts God up so He can draw all men unto Himself. Deliverance worship is also one of the most heart felt, and true kinds of worship.
When we are truly thankful for someone saving us, we will do almost anything to repay that person. Why should it be any different with God? When Jesus saved us from our wretched, depraved, sin-filled lifestyles, our lives were complete changed and we were given a freedom that no one can describe. What could be greater?
Yet, after all Jesus has done for us we still have the audacity to fold our arms, and wait for the rapture of the Church. I have a feeling that we will be waiting a long time too long if we don't get off our proverbial rear-end and start worshiping Jesus like we ought!
If we read the end of the chapter we can find the God found the same attitude the Church faces today! So, He let His people go, and they followed their hearts, lusts and counsels and ended up getting destroyed by the enemy! I for one do not want the enemy of my soul winning the battle. No! I want my Saviour to get all the glory for everything in my life!
Let's Worship Jesus together, and let this world know what a great Saviour and Deliverer Jesus is!
Yours for Deliverance Worship,
Pastor Fred
